C, Also the senator com mented on failure of the govern ment to proceed with the Tongue Point submarine base, declaring that the govern nint has not been fair with Clatsop county. The senator gives Vice President Dawes credit for sincerity in his fight for revision of senate rules, but says tho senate already has what Dawes seeks. "Congress, during the last ses sion, was generous In the total sum appropriated out of the Federal Treasury to assist in the development of Oregon. ' said Sen ator .McNary. ' 'It should have been, because more than one-half of the states area is owned by the government and consequently untaxable. 'Jf the people of Oregon could tax Us largest land owner, the Federal government, in my opin ion they would be willing to fore go the aid they now receive from the National government, which is far less than the Mate and coun ties would receive If the land was under private ownership and of course subject to the burden of taxation."

Louie today spurred federal and county officials to an Intensive search for John W. Worthlngton of Chicago, ao called "wolf of La- Salle etreot" who disappeared from a sanitarium near here last Wednesday.

Numbers identical with some of those on the stolen bonds have been located on sales slips said to have been Issued by Worthlng ton or his associates. estimate will be made this year, the senator says. "I regret this decision keenly. The Government has not dealt fairly with the people of Clatsop county, who provided funds to the amount of $100,000 to acquire property which wus conveyed In fee simple to the Federal govern ment upon the theory that the Navy Department would expend In excess of a million dollars in the development of the project. "A year ago the senate adopted an amendment I proposed that made available funds to continue the work, but the house confer ence refused to ronsur because the department had made no estimate for the appropriation. Continuous appeals to the navy department will In time bring about the comple tion of this groat work. "There are several bills provid ing as many different remedies before the Agriculture Committees of either branch of congress, which will be given consideration at the next session. "In my judgment there can be no great Issue created out Of the desire upon the part of the Vire President to modify the rules which govern the senate. I have no criticism to offer about the at tacks of Mr, Dawes. I know htm to be sincere and striving for something, which I think Is al ready In existence, and that Is a rule which does suppress debate when once Invoked, Sworn Statement of In former All Required For Issuance of War rant Court Holds. The constitutional rights of Al bert Quartier were not encroached upou when officers raided a place operated by Quartier and his wife at 1182 Crystal Springs boulevard, Portland, on March 31, 1924, and seized a still, according to an opinion of the supreme court to day. The opmion, written by Jun tice Bean, affirms the lower court for Multnomah county where the uusu was tried by Judge T. E. J. Uuffy. Quartier net up the claim that the affidavit on which the search warrant was Issued wuh defective in that no deposition was taken by the magistrate, and It was claimed that the search was illegal in that the search was not made by offi cers to whom the search warrant was Issued. Neither of these claims is upheld by the supreme court. "It has ne7er been the practice in this state," says the opinion, "to require the deposition of wit nesses in addition to the sworn statement of cn informant as a prerequisite to the Issuance of a warrant for arrest. We can con ceive of no good reason why such a practice should be required in the case of the issuance of a search warrant." Other opinions handed down to day were: It. H. TWloch vs. Harry B. (Continued on Page Four) FIXED FOR ROADS E There are at present 900 miles of paved roads in Oregon, and 2, 000 miles of macadam roads, it was stated this noon by Roy Klein, state highway engineer, In a speech before the Salem Kiwan is club at the weekly luncheon of the club. The great bulk of the work has been done since 1918, he stated. Mr. Klein estimated that state highways carry more than 80 per cent of the traffic in the state. The annual increase In traf fic Is from 30 to 40 per cent, he declared, the Increase bein? due to increased tourist traffic and increase in the number of cars sold inside the state. Last year a count was taken at Jefferson of the number of ftutomobftcH pass Ing a given point on the Taclfic highway there, and the number was found to be between 1500 and 2000 a day on the average, Mr. Klein stated. Fully 40 per cent of the traffic was from outside the state. He estimated that during the year 192R there will be a total of 205,000 automobiles licensed in the state of Oregon. To Illus trate the number Klein declared that if all the cars were placed end to end, touching In front and behind, the line would be long enough 'to reach, 10 abreast, from Portland to Salem. He declared that Oregon at present Is better equipped with roads than the old Roman empire, famous for Its roads. A Roman road, If built today, would cost $225,000 a mile to build, he said. Mr. Klein made a brief survey of the state highway system In Oregon. He stated that within a few months the highway will be. completed making possible a trip from Salem to the Silctz river.
