In considering the question of the - proposed $100,000 bond issue to in sure immediate construction of the Strahorn road out of Bend voters and taxpayers should not lose sight of a very Important feature, namely, the compensating benefits in matters . of district taxation, which should go a long way toward meeting any in creased city taxation caused by the borid issue. In other words, the question of a possible Increase in city taxation is to be considered along with a prob able decrease in other levies due to the railroad building. Bend will issue $100,000 worth of bonds and will have to pay Interest thereon. Within the city limits in creased valuations due to the build ing of the road and other connected construction, as well as that arising J from increase in population, will help to meet the tax levy to cover this interest. There Is one point on tax es.' Another is the matter of com pensating benefits mentioned above. For the $100,000 which Bend puts op, nearly a million dollars worth of railroad construction will be done in Deschutes county. That will pay taxes to the county. Every cent so paid will reduce the amount to be paid by every other tax payer, and 80 long as the Blx per cent limitation ' lis in force, must necessarily operate to reduce the millage each year. 1 The tax, then, ' to ' be' paid by a resident of the. city for county .pur-1 poses will be necessarily lower when the railroad is built. The same is true of the school dis trict. We do not know what part of the railroad property will be in the local district, but every dollar's worth will pay a tax, which will mean that much less tax from others in the district, which includes the city of Bend. ' These are points which should be borne in mind when the taxation fea ture of the proposed bond issue . is considered. pennant. They need more experience as a team, and a trifle more stcadl noss In the pitching staff. The Red Sox will supply the oulg nia tor the season. The champions comprise ono of the best balanced and beat offensive teams thrown to gether for many yoars. If the crack doesn't come thlB year It will bo hard to keep them out of another world's chutnpioiiBhip. A great ileal depends on Jack Barry's ability, but the team is so constituted that, It It holds together, most any one could drive it to a flag. At the Movies INDIANA OFFICIALS ENTER THEIR PLEAS Fraud Cluu-gra Ccntorlmr About In- diunnpolis Klectlons, Come to a Head. (By United Press to the Bend Bulletin) INDIANAPOLIS. March 22. One hundred and sixty Indiana politicans Including a few prominent city of ficials and ex-offlclals wero ar raigned before Judge Anderson in Federal court here yestorday on charges of fraud in the presidential election last November. ' The men were indicted following one of the most sensational federal investigations of election fraud ever conducted by the government: The probe centered in Evansville and "big fish" were caught in the net in In dianapolis, Gary and Frankfort. One of the Interesting s.vBtoms worked out in Evansville, according to the investigators, was the fish hook method. The fish hook in the coat lapel was the badge of member ship. . If a voter wore this It was a sign that he was entitled by the "gang" to vote where, when and as often as he pleased. The government is said to have ev idence that thousands of dollars were used to buy votes at $1 to $20 each. Three police chiefs are Involved, Samuel Perrott of Indianapolis, Ed gar Schmitt of Evansville, and Will iam F. Forbis of Gary. Other prominent Indianians in- dianians indicted are Mayor R. O. Johnson of Gary, former postmaster Charles Sihler of Evansville, and for mer Mayor Edmonds of Frankfort. AMERICAN EXPERTS ' FEAR REVOLUTION Brazil Has Great Difficulty in Secur ing Agriculturalists to Solve Farm Problems. AMERICAN LEAGUE TO STAGE CLOSE RACE Issue Probably Will Not Be Decided Until the Closing Month of ' - the Coming Season. By H. C. Hamilton, (United Press Stall Correspondent) NEW YORK, March 22. This season's journey down the American league schedule should be fully as productive of sensations as was last year's gruelling finish. No less than four clubs are due to be in the fight and the balance Is such that the issue probably will not be decided until the season is in its closing month. Detroit looks to be one team which will bear watching, The Chicago White Sox are strong, the Yankees, refitted with good arms and lgt , must be counted In and it would be folly to suppose that even a change in managership could keep the won derful Red 8ox from making an awful bid for the Ban Johnson bunting. The Tlsers have been due to win a pennant for several seasons. Just one thing has hampered them. Cor rect the faults in the Detroit pitch ing staff and there will be a baseball blub that will tear its way through anything. Imagine a team making six and seven runs a day, only to see the opposition come through with just a few more. The offensive power of such a grand machine is lost in the inability of pitchers to hold the opposition to a few runs. With two good pitchers, Detroit will win a pennant, for its stickmen are able (to produce the runs. The same thing might be said to hold good for the White 8ox, but there 'are good pitchers there. The fault isn't wholly with the hurlers. The hitters are there to make the runs and, for a great part of the time, the pitchers are there to do the holding. Comiskey's twirlers lost themselves last summer in the heat of the race, .but there is no rea son why they should not return. , The White Sox peed a first' baseman and they need him bad. If Gandll can come through the White Sox will develop a dangerously well balanced team..- The Yankees are dangerous, tut .hardly enough so to be roted a spring (Br United Press to toe Bend Bulletin) RIO DE JANEIRO, March 22. Nine agricultural experts recently employed in the United States by the Brazilian Department of Agriculture, have just arrived in Brazil. ' According to the story told by Olivelra Castro, the Brazilian gov ernment's agent sent to employ the experts, he ' had extreme difficulty in finding men willing, to go to Brazil because of the prevailing idea in the United States that revolutions were matters of daily occurrence. After a great deal of effort and repeated assurances that revolutions took places only in the story books and not in actual Brazil life, he in duced Professors O. T. Clawson, H. H. Cardlnell, W. C. Johnstone, J. E. Blohm, E. Pithman, R. H. Cook, Dr. K. E. Quantz, Maurice Blohm and Dr. B. T. Harve to leave with him on the steamer Minas Geraes. When the vessel arrived In Per nambuco, the first Brazilian port, and as she hauled up to the docks there was the sound of rifle firing from within the ily. There was great curiosity on board the ship, particularly among the Americans, as to what the disturbance meant. A venturesome ship's officer brought back the news that a revolution was In progress. It turned out later that it was a mere celebration over a minor election and nobody was hurt. But, as Snr. Castor expressed it, "The Americans clapped their hands to their heads." They arrived safely In Rio de Ja neiro and are busy showing the Agri cultural Department new stunts In fruit, grain, tobacco and other kinds cf culture, lloml Thcutro.
