PAY FOR YOUR BOND.
Do not fail to complete your Lib
erty bond payments Is the appeal of
Secretary of the Treasury William (I.
McAdoo, as sent to twelfth federal
reserve district Liberty loan head
quarters. Following la the secretary's ap
peal: "Many employers t broughoul t he
country have rendered most patri
otic assistance in the distribution ol
Liberty loan bonds to their em
ployes and have assisted them in the
purchase of these bonds by arrang
ing 1 hat pay m en is may be made in
install men Is covering a period of
lime longer than that which could
be granted by the treasury depart
ment. "It Is the duty of the subscribers
to bonds on these partial payment
plans to complete the contract inio
which they have entered, if they
do not do so, both they and the gov
ernment suffer, as the bonds for
which they have contracted and for
which I hey do not pay in full must
usually be sold in the open market.
"h is, of course, recognized thai
in case of necessity caused by sick
ness or other una voidable circum
stances, cancel lal bins of subscrip
tions or sales of bonds are warrant
ed. In oases where employes have
made arrangements to purchase
these bonds on installment plans and
then sever their connection with the
employer with whom they have made
subscriptions, arrangements should
be made tor i be completion of I he
subscription or for having the sub
scription taken over by the new em
ployer or by a bank iii the commun
ity where the subscriber resides,
thus avoiding the necessity for sale
of the bonds covered by the sub
script ion."

NEW YORK TO START
BUILDING AT ONCE
(lty United Preaa to The Bond Bulletin.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 81.- Construc

wort h of dwellings is scheduled to
begin here just as soon as men and
materials, released from war work,
are available,
Most of the buildings will be large

have been drawn and ground for
which has been ready for many
months.
New York's over-population and
under const r net ion was one of the
problems that has grown rapid ly
more acute since the nation aban
doned itself almost entirely to war
work. Rents have become so high
that efforts were made several times

LONDON, Nov. 2. (By Mail.)
The darkest place on earth Is Lon

With tightening of the fuel re
strictions it is going to be darker
this winter than ever. Londoners
are advised to wear something white
and glistening at night so motor
drivers will see them more easily.

homeward journey, and the women
Of London are beginning to get

it is suggested that they shall wear

each woman will carry her own

VERY GOOD EXAMPLE,
(By United Pn-sM to The Bend Bulletin)
NAPLKS. Italy, Nov. 21. The
Naples Street Railway company has
accorded to all war cripples the right
to ride free of charge on the street
cars. The same privilege has been
given to firemen who have been In
jured in discharge of their duties.
The only rest rid Ion is that not
more than two mutilated soldiers
and one fireman can ride on the same
J car at the same time.

SOLONS NOW
KEEPING MUM
(Continued From Page 1.)
leading state officials the other clay.
"Well. Clackamas county should
worry about that," was the response.
"We are sure going to put Ed Brodie
over for secretary of state in 1920."
But to return to the legislature
and its prospective activities.
One great big feature which Is
liahle to dissolve in the mistH of the
early days of the session will be the
report of the consolidation commis
sion. Unless It is entirely revamped
and worked over from Its original
form as it appeared when hurtled
forth by the versatile hand of Col.
J. M Matthews, consolidation and
elimination expert of the University
of Illinois, it will have a short life
and not a very merry one.
The bulk of the legislators who
have visited the capltol off and on
since the consolidation commission's
tentative report was made have
thoroughly made up their minds that
the report Is largely bunk and is des
tined for the scrap heap. But it
looms now, nevertheless, as the pos
sible basis for a big fight. It must
ho remembered that two years ago
two doughty Clackamas county legis
lators fought in the consolidation
arena with short swords. They
fought for consolidation and against
each other most of the session. But
what Walt Dimlck and George
Brownell couldn't think of In the
way of consolidation and elimination
must be very trifling indeed, and it
must be admitted they p rod u c e d
some very worthy efforts at cutting
down state expenses. The efforts
didn't have any very tangible results
save in one or two instances, bs con
solidation has to run the gauntlet of
as able a band ofi lobbying and job
saving state officials as can be found
anywhere In the union.
The legislature finally decided that
the question of consolidation was a
swell one for passing the buck over,
and tiic buck was passed on to the
COmlmg session through the commit
tee which has sizzled and fizzled
through two stern years and will
probably reap its reward in January
by an early demise of ts pet child.
One or two members of the commis
sion claim that their rocommenda
tlons will go through and be adopted.
Perhaps they will. ' But we shall see
what we shall see.
The committee on law reform, also
named by the last session, will rec
ommend that the chief justice of the
supreme court he given authority to
place three circuit judges on the
supreme bench temporarily at any
time he sees fit to relieve the con
gestion there. This might be fine
it' it were not used occasionally as
a political expedient to boost the
fortunes and the publicity of some
aspiring candidate for the high
bench. This Is not very likely with
the present chief justice, or with any
of the other justices who are sitting
there by virtue of the will of the
people. But developments of the
past year ludicate that the bench is
not altogether free from the taint of
politics, especially when it comes to
the question of making appoint
ments. Another power that the comniiffee
on law reform will ask for the chief
justice is the power to send circuit
judges from one county to another
when conditions warrant it. The
object of this will he to relieve con
gestion in Multnomah county when
over it is deemed necessary and as
judges frequently go there on re
quest now for that very purpose, it
is likely the legislature will look
kindly upon such a law. In fact,
probably both of these recommenda
tions of the committee will be grant
ed. If they are not it will probably
mean a request for more justices on
the bench, as the docket Is full to
overflowing.
Possibilities are developing that
there may be n change or two at the
state penitentiary before the first of
the year. Whether it will hit as high
up as the warden Is not known, hut
this is considered a likely possibil
ity. It is known that the governor
for some lime has been under the
impression that the general cost of
conducting the state penitentiary has
been too high. Considering the fact
that there has been an enormous In
crease jn current expense costs, the
executive has been rather loathe to
condemn the mounting costs there
until a complete and thorough but
quiet investigation could be made to
determine whether the administra
tion of affairs has been to blame for
this increase. While he has made
no definite statement, It is pretty
closely understood that the .governor
considers now that costs have been

overhead could be cut down mater
ially under a different sort of man
agement. This being the case, it is not
known whether the governor will
make a complete change in the ad
ministrative head, or whether he will
give Warden Murphy a strong talk
ing to and another chance at operat
ing the business end of affairs out at
the gray house.
One thing is reasonably certain.
If a change is to be made it will not
develop until after the prison probe
is over and done with. The governor
is not going to fire the warden when
the prison is under fire itself. lie
doesn't do business that way. If he
discbanges hira at all it will be after
the findings are all in and the thing
IB settled.
Just now the Marion county grand
jury is sitting In special session
hearing the testimony that has been
adduced by Attorney General Brown
and his coterie oC district attorney
investigators that he called in to
assist him with the probe. The at
torney general has been very close
mouthed about what is contained in
that testimony In fact, he has been
as close mouthed as a man can be
who invariably chews gum when he
becomes excited, and his gum chew
ing has been quite violent on occa
sions. Regardless of this fact, para
doxical as It may seem, he Is very
close mouthed on the subject of what
has developed behind closed doors in
the prison investigation.
Nothing very sallacious or nothing
very sensational will develop, how
ever, if .guessing can be done cor
rectly, although it is possible that
some facts as to the administration
of the prison itself may be developed.
Nothing particularly in a criminal
light is expected, unless possibly
something bearing on a flunky or two
might develop.
But to go back to Murphy. The

way the governor worded his request
to the attorney general that an in
vestigation be made the probe was
to cover the whole prison, regardless
of personality and without any par
ticular official In view. This sweep
ing request, in itself, would include
the warden, as well as all other of
ficials and in a broad sense he is
under fire with the rest of them. As
said before, he won't he discharged
while the investigation Is on be
cause the executive would not dis
charge him while he is under fire.
Perhaps he won't be later, but that
remains to be seen.
