The ap plication of the Southern Facific company to retain control of the Central Pacific, notwithstanding the dissolution order by the su preme court, was opposed in argu ments made before the interstate commerce commission today by representatives of the Union Pa cific system. The commission's general hear ings on the Southern Pacific pro posals are to begin November 21, and today's argument was of a preliminary nature and was pre cipitated by a request by the Un ion Facific that the whole matter be dismissed without further ac tion. - "You are asked in this applica tion to exercise an extraordinary power," H.

Craln - . Oregon City has been victim ized by the ku kluxers so far only in a political and economie way, and has not felt disastrous effect of the social poison of the invisible empire. True, the religions propa- ganda has been stressed effective ly by the kleagles, propagandists and considerable sentiment against the Catholics has been aroused. The peculiar social grouping of the city has, however, prevented serious social breeches, because Oregon City, In spite of Its com oaratively smaller population. Is not to be classed socially as a small town, but rather as ft suburb of Portland. The close association of neigh bora is normally not -so generally In Oregon City as In most of the smaller cities of the state,, and that fact saved them from much of the damage ordinarily done by the klan. Politically, however, the klans men have been very active In Oregon' City and have built up an effective machine In support of the yellow ticket candidates and measures. The principal fight during the present campaign has been waged for Walter M. Pierce and the compulsory school bill. (Continued os Faea Seven.) KILLS PATROLMAN AFTER STEALING BOTTLE OF ILK Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 4. Patrolman Oliver V. DInsmore, 26, was shot and killed early today by a man who gave nis name as r rea Edwards, according to the police. DInsmore had assisted In cap turing Edwards when the latter tried to'escape from Special Offi cer H. A. Bude, who says he saw Edwards in the act of stealing two bottles of milk from In front of a grocery store. Edwards, according to Rude, promised to submit to arrest peaoeably if the officers would al low him to return to his room and get soms money which he had left in his bureau. They consented and took him to his room In a lodging house, where, Rude says. he opened a bureau drawer, turn ed suddenly with ft pistol In his hand, shot DInsmore and then ran from the house. Edwards was captured ft few hours later as he was attempting to board an outbound freight In the Santa Fe railway yards end, according to the polios, shortly thereafter admitted that he had killed DInsmore. Search of Edwards' room after the killing revealed four sticks of dynamite and several fuses and caps, and ft large Quantity of I. 0NVEN1I0N HELD, STAYTON W. W. literature, the police say.

About 140 people representing nine different towns were present last night at the annual Marion county Y. M. C. A. convention held at Stayton. The principal ad dress of the evening was made by J. R. Ellison, president of the El lison- White Chautauqua system and president of the Portland Ro tary club, on "The Hope of the World." The committee reports for the past year were very Interesting especially the one made by W. L. Kuser, superintendent of the boys' training school. Other re ports were: ."Educational Work," by B. T. Youel; "Father and Son" by O. V White "Religious Work" by A. E. Austin, and "For eign Work," by Dr. Brown. Of the special reports one was made by Paul Buckley, a member of the Willamette deputation. The representatives from the various branches of the "Y" also made reports on the progress of the past year. A male quartet composed of Frank Zlnn, Edwin Socolofsky, Dick Barton and Harry Qwynn, furnished music for the evening.

Pierce since he successfully eliminated Charles Hall as a contender for gubernatorial honors by declaring himself for the Compulsory School Bill, is the only issue of the present campaign. He pledges him self, if elected, to a program of tax reduction. For John D. Rockefeller to declare himself in favor of free gasoline and fuel oil for the American public would be less incongruous than the present spectacle of Walter M. Pierce dashing madly here and there over the state of Oregon as a tax- reductionist a champion of the "poor down-trodden taxpayer." Voted For Everything During the four regular and two special sessions of the state legislature in which he sat as a senator, Mr. Pierce voted YES on 190 bills carrying appropriations or authoriz ing bond Issues to be refunded by direct taxation on prop erty that he now proposes to relieve of a large share of the tax burden. . , During these same sessions of the legislature Mr. Pierce voted no on ONLY 8 bills levying direct taxes or authorizing bond issues to be refunded by direct taxation. The ninth NO vote in Mr. Pierce's legislative career was against the $10,000,000 road bond issue referred to the people by the legislature in 1919. The bill provided for re funding the bonds by indirect (automobile and gasoline) taxes. This was the only bond issue against which Mr. Pierca voted. "Yes" Voting Costly By his "Yea" votes Mr. Pierce sought to impose on ths taxpayers of Oregon a total of $20,178,505.57 in direct taxes. By his "Nay" votes Mr. Fierce sought to save the tax payers only $254,611.58 in direct taxes on property. Through millage bills upon which he voted YES he helped to saddle an additional $8,566,451.11 onto the stata in property taxes. He did not vote jno on a single millage bill that came be fore the senate during his four terms in office. Nor do these figures give In to tal the cost of Mr. Pierce's "yea," L IVESTOCK SHOW OPENS PORTLAND Portland, Or., Nov. 4.
