AVAn.'. , Hays Says $5,000,000 To Be Spent Republican Chairman Denies 'Big Interests' Underwriting Cam paign of G. 0. P. Chicago, Aug. 30. The republi can campaign for 1920 will be car ried on at a total expenditure of $5,000,000. according to testimony given here today before the senate committee investigating campaign funds. The statement was made hv Will H. Hays, chairman of the na tional republican committee but he explained that $1,100,000 of the to- ii uau uuen expenaea py tne or ganization which went out of office with the end of the republican na tional convention. Mr. Hays emphasized that the present national committee had a budget of approximately $3,000,000 and that $1,000,000 of the total ex pected to pass through the commit tee's , treasury would be allocated: back to the states for strictly state purposes. Replies to Charces. The testimony was in the nature or a reply to charges made by Gov ernor Cox, democratic presidential nominee that the republican cam paign fund would total $15,000,000. Mr. Hays denied this char.- nna also said positively that no "big money interests" had underwritten the republican expenses. Will Hays, chairman of the re publican national committee, told the senators at the outset of his testimony that the republican man agement welcomed 'the opportunity further fully to set forth the effort of the republican national commit tee to popularize giving of money .or campaign purposes by- getting small contributions from a great many men and women, thus for ever eliminating any possible op portunity for sinister influences in connection with money in politics." He said this plan for raising mon ey grew out of two primary oai'ses: "The real desire to work a real reform in the elimination of any possible improper obligation and because, experience in raising funds for war purposes has made popular drives "familiar activity, and It seemed possible to undertake that kind of action by a political organ ization." "We particularly hoped that this activity would increase the politi cal interest," he said. Mr. Hays explained that the plan was proposed early in 1919 and that the purpose has been to limit the contributions to a thousand dollars for any one year from any individual, or a thousand before the nominating convention aud a thou sand after. Never Heard of L-lst. Mr. 'Hays told Senaor Kenyon that 1 had never heard of the quota list of cities which Governor Cox set out in his Pittsburgh speech. "Somebody gave the governor a hoddy list," he said. "The state ments in regard to the whole quota matter are false." Senator Reed of Missouri whe cross-questioned the republican leader at considerable length askea him pointedly as to the sources of information upon which Mr. Hays said he based counter charges tnat the democratic organization had planned a campaign fund of $10, 000,000 and had "misused govern ment instruments and functions." Mr. Hays charged that in addi tion to the regular democratic cam paign activities, that the liquor in terests of the country were raising large amounts to forward the Cox candidacy.

A rat that looks like a kangaroo barks like a prairie dog and is the size of a squirrel has made its appearance in Caldwell and Bastrop counties. The tail is longer than that of the ordinary rat. There are three different species, possi bly all of the same family one with front legs a little longer than the back, some thin like the kangaroo rat, but is not the kangaroo; anoth er with front legs about in pro portion with the hind ones, and the other just like the ordinary rat except for the long tail. The rat with the long front legs is the one that barks like the prairie dog. They eat everything, crops, fruit, etc., but are partial to corn. Chickens, too, are not spared. andl htm Chicago, Aug. 30. Senate inves tigation of republican and demo cratic campaign expenditures start ed here today. The senatorial com mittee appointed prior te the con ventions reopened its inquiry toy delving into the national campaign chests. Spurred on by the charges of Gov ernor James M. Cox, that the repub lican party is raising a $15,000,000 campaign fund and the statement by Franklin D. Roosevelt that the amount is nearer $30,000,000, the committee is prepared for an ex haustive investigation. For this purpose subpoenas were issued for Wall Hays, chairman of the repub lican national committee; George Whitechairman o fthe democratic committee; Fred Upham and Wil bur Marsh, treasurers of the two committee; treasurers of the con gressional and senatorial commit tees of each party, and Governor Cox himself has been invited to at tend or send a representative. The governor so far has not answered but has indicated that he will send information to support his charges. Outlining the scope of the in quiry into the presidential cam paign, Senator Kenyon, chairman, announced that the investigation not only would delve into collec tion of money to finance the cam paig but would seek to reveal whether promises of federal pat ronage were being exchanged for campaign assistance. He also prom ised an inquiry into charges that federal office holders were cam paigning for Governor Cox, with their expenses paid out of govern ment funds. , J At the outset of the hearing Sen ator Kenyon introduced the news-1 paper accounts of Governor Cox's speecn at lttsuurgn, tne cuihuhl tee's telegram to him and the gov ernor's reply. Senator Reed argued that the committee's duty had been earlipr set as 't'o find every dollar" col lected and expended by both na tional organizations. He said this course would have been followed whether Governor Cox had made a charge or not. Harding Plans For Speaking Trip Near Ready Marion, Ohio, Aug. 30. Plans for some of the speaking trips to be made by Senator Harding are nearing completion, and announce ment probably will be made soon of three or four of the places where he will deliver addresses. New York and Chicago are un derstood to be virtually certain to be on the list and the claims of a number of cities in the middle west and west are under serious consideration.

A. Churchill, state superintendent of public Instruction. The books are being mailed out now from the of fice of the state printer. The courses In civil government, geo graphy and language have been re written while the courses in all the other essential subjects have been revised, Churchill explains. Commenting on the revised course of study Churchill declared: "That the future citizens may love his country and serve it in telligently civics is very definitely outlined by grades beginning with the home in the first grade and passing by easy gradation in the other grades through the student's relations to the neighborhood, the city, the state, and the nation. "Since the adopted texts In geo graphy in 1919 contained objeetlon al subject matter and maps givyig incorrect boundaries of European countries, the old text was used last year.

(By the Associated Press.) Organized la bor's non-partisan political cam paign committee, comparing the public records of the republican and democratic presidential nomi nees, declared. In a report made public today that Governor Cox had "shown himself possessed of a fuller understanding of the needs of the working people." The report, signed by Samuel Gompers, president; Matthew Woll, vice-president, and Frank Morrison secretary of the American Federa tion of Labor, Is the first ever made on presidential candidates by a fed eration of labor committee. Harding Record Adverse. Taking up the senatorial record of Senator Harding, the committee declared that on 18 measures deal ing with labor his score stood fav orable 7; unfavorable 10; paired unfavorable one. The republican nominee's vote on labor issues during his term in the state senate of Ohio, as reporttd by Tie committee, stood: favorable six; unfavorable 0. In this connec tion the report read; "Senator Harding record in Washington affords a better oppor tunity for analysis of his legisla tive views than does his record in the Ohio senate by reason of tfe fact that his term of service' ex tended for a long period of tlnut during which he was called uc to consider a wider variety of i ures." Reviewing Governor Cox's recortff the report said that while governm" of Ohio he "had acted upon 59 measures of interest to labor with out acting on a single one advent ely to labor." As a member of IM 62nd congress the governor recorded as voting favorable to bor on two measures, the only i listed. The committee summarized UM findings in this language: Cox Committee's Choice.

Members of the Polish peace dele gation have been engaged in a con tinual controversy with bolshevik officials since arriving here.

The lands in question are located adjacent to Warner and Anderson lakes in Lake county and is claim Jed by the state of Oregon as'swamp I lands the answer filed this after- noon declaring that title to the land ' passed from the United States to the state of Oregon by act of con jgress of March 12, 1860, extending to the state of Oregon the provis ions of the swamp land act of Sep tember 28, 1850. It is understood here that suc cess of the Lake County Land & Livestock company In establishing title to this land would result in the filing of similar suits involving Approximately 4,300 Oregon ex service men participated in the dis tribution of the 1629,087.09 dis. bursed under the provisions of the Soldiers' educational act up to August 25, according to figures on file In the secretary of state's of fice here. Of the approximately $673,000 which have been pro vided for the education of Oregon men who served In the army, navy and marine corps In the late war only 1144,000 remains to carry the administration of the act over until the next tax money becomes available in January, when ap proximately $400,000 more will be available under the special levy of four-tenths of a mill authorized for this purpose. I'nder the provisions of the original act taxes to the amount of $198, 087.09 were made avail able for the administration of the act last January.

Enforcement of License Law Is Expected Soon With the total of drivers' licenses issued up to closing time this after noon exceeding the 81,000 mark in dications now are that the secretary of state's office will be ready for the rigid enforcement of the driv ers' license law by the middle of September. A careful check of applications on file just completed shows a to tal of approximately 120,000 re ceived to date Instead of the mora than 160,000 as roughly estimated a wek ago. This leaves less than 40,000 applications for licenses now unwilled with from 2500 to 30 licenses going out of the depart ment every day. The department has been consid erably handicapped in Its work of issuing the licenses through tha carelessness of applicants In omit ting eseantial data, necessitating the return of the application and a duplication of effort which has made for the delay of the entire department. Many of the applica tions are almost if not altogether unreadable which also makes for delay in handling the mass of work involved setting the machinery of the new law Into operation.
