The Toll Road Grab The Oregon Voter culls attention to the efforts of A. G. Seals, of Tillamook, slate senator from Tillamook, Yamhill, Washington and Lincoln counties to secure a 50 year franchise for the construction and operation of a toll road via the Wilson river route as a short cut between Portland and Tillamook. Senator Beal's main activity during the recent legislative session was the lobbying of a bill through both houses legalizing the toll road and authorizing the granting of franchises for the same. The reason for this activity is now apparent, for he is first applicant for such a franchise. In other words, he prostituted public office for personal profit. And this is the man Governor Pierce attempted to make state fish commissioner. The statute enacted is a one-sided proposition in which all tho advantages lie with the applicant for franchise and none with the state, as no applicant is required to post a bond guaranteeing that the road will be built, a franchise might be secured under it and the road never built. As the route selected for tho Beals toll road is a narrow canon already chosen for railroad extension, so narrow that both railroad and toll road cannot be built, the value of the toll road franchise to control the situation, a franchise that costs nothing, is apparent. Some years ago, the legislature abolished the loll road as out of date and belonging to a primitive era, out of place in a state with an elaborate modern free highway system built especially to attract tourist traffic. The refundment of toll-road legislation for the profit of -legislators v.-.-is an audacious piece of predatory politics. The Millionaires Club Six millionaires sit in President Coolidge's cabinet, most of them inheritances from the Harding regime. It is the wealthiest cabinet the nation ever had. The millionaires are: Andrew W. Mellon, secretary of the Treasury, estimated worth over $500,000,000, and ranking next to Rockefeller and l-'onl In wealth. Herbert C Hoover, secretary of Commerce, estimated worth be tween ?S, 000, 000 and $10,000,000. ' Frank II. KcIIokk, secretary of Slate, estimated worth $15,000,000. John W. Weeks, secretary of War, estimated worth $2,000,00. .Tames J. Davis, secretary of Labor, esllmaled worth $1,500,000. Hubert C. Work, secretary of the Interior, estimated worth $1,000,000. The Mellon wealth was made in'banking, railroads, sleel, oil and whiskey; Hoover's fortune came from mining invest ments; Kellogg's was accumulated in Ihe practice of law and in fortunate investments; Weeks' in banking and brokerage; Davis, who began life as a peddler, made over 8 million by organizing the Loyal Order of Moose; Work accumulated a competence in the practice of medicine, operating a sanitarium and from investments. The other four members of the cabinet, Seirelaries Wilbur, and Jardino, Tost-masler General New and Attorney General Sargent are comparitively poor, though in comfort able circumstances. Wilbur has been a supreme court justice, Jardine a college president, New a professional politician and Sargeant a small town lawyer. One Wife on Approval By Violet I);irc ii:i i.n v.

Am they wtoml ivaltlnK fr the elevator, afier look hiK at the apartment which nhe had JiiMt agreed to rent from htm. she found heme If thinking of tho thin Kit Ceclle Malcolm hud mUl about him. "The towu'H black fheep," Cecil J had called him. And nhe had s:tUI that she herself was one of tho few women In town who frankly admit ted having been n Rond friend of hi. Certainly, during tho golf Same of the tiny before, Ceclle had been c:iner enough to CMtahlkdi that friendship once more, now that he had returned from abroad. Cynthia could not help feeling sorry for him. It was iiu'l obvious that he h:id been In livo with his wife, n ml had felt much rut up when i-lie derided to f;o back to her own people. Cynthia pictured hhn ru.diim; to Vance nfler her when jhc went abroad with her parents, a ml plendini;; with her noli to divorce him. Mow could any woman hue been o haid-h phe aked bcrfclf .'main. Of course, there probably had been trouble. It was Impo.-v-ible t deny that Cardner bad a look In hi eye that would not have been characteristic of a man who at quietly back and let (he wm Id k by. No doubt hu had t;tven bin wife plenty of provocation, reflected Cynthia. I'erhapn he had f II tied With Ceclle Malcolm Cecile would certainly hnvo "ncouraed him. And yet Cecile did not seem to be hlfl type at all. Cynthia filghed. Weren't there any hnjtpy married people nny- wnere i "About that stock that your mother-In -law bought." remarked Gardner, am they left the etcvatm and Blurted across the lobby of the apartment hnuae. "I've got every thing straightened out, and nm go ing to at her thin afternoon and buy the utock from her. Now, let me Ret tlilM thing quite almlght you don't want her to know that you nre Rolng to buy It,. do you." "Oh, no; nha'fl not to lenow any thing about It, and neither m any one el. I want to well, you ace, I wnnt to aurprtae her. She feela that I'm tartly reonalbl for her lota of trouble. Jim always ad vises her about her invent incuts, and ahe bought that atock when ho was off honeymooning with me. They both aay that If he had been home he wouldn't have let her buy It nt all." "I see.' commented Gardner, hi lliw twisting In a cynical Utile smile. "They think It's no good." "Well, you know, It has gone down aluce ahe bought it, awfully fuM," Cynthia added. "Sure it haa. And because I con trol It, and I've always been a black sheep, nhe and Jim feel that ?ht omrht to Ret rid of It at once. They think I'm no good, Jut an the rent of t he town does. Well, I'll how them. They're notng to get the nhoek of their live.i!" "oh. I'm mire that you're f.miu: to make a big (hlnir of this!" ex claimed Cynt hia. Impulsively lay ing Iter hand on his arm. "You Just can't help It." "ThankM," ho murmured huskily. "You don't know what that mean to me, having you believe In me. It'a been so long altice anyone cared " Ho broke off abruptly, and Cyn thia Hctf -miiHiiotifdy took herhand from Ilia arm. For a moment nhe had quite for gotten herself.

And Louella'a faro told Cynthia that tdic had peon that Im pulsive little action. Cynthia took the bull by Ihe horns, the moment ahe caught her breath, and ran across the sidewalk to the car. "Oh, I.ouella, how nice to see you!" alio exclaimed. "I tried to aeo you earlier In the morning." replied I.ouclla frostily. "Mother was preparing to go away very hurriedly; ahe'a Just waiting for an me mt of business confer ence thafa to take place this aftor noon. Then she's going at once." "Truly? Where T" asked Cynthia, wondering how It happened that I.ouclla did not know that the IhihI neas conference was with Gardner, who wan ataudntg beside her. "She's going to Join Jim, nnd go with him to Honolulu," replied Louella, with Just a hint of malice In her smile. "He feels that the; trip will do her good, and though1 she doesn't really want to go, ehe'a always enjoyed traveling with him o she's going to do It." Cynthia could not speak. Jim was going to take his mother instood of her Oh, how could he be 00 cruel T Gardner planced down at her quickly, his keen eyes noting her sudden pallor and the a harp way that she drew in her breath. 'Reardy for luncheon, lady fair?" he drawled. "I'm afraid iou need it, after that sightseeing round of my apartment." Cynthia hesitated a moment, then lifted her head proudly. Lou ella was the personification of dis approval. 1 't "Deed I am ready for lunch eon, Noel," murmured Cynthia, and went wli'i him to Ida own car. Tomorrow Food for Gossip. .

Al;"j, I have studied the sub ject from an independent stand- nt, but still I am puzzled. Puz zled in my effort to understand how It is possible to bo a Christian, 1 one, who accepts tho fundamental ur basic principle of Christianity, nnd a believer In evolution at the samo time; As I understand Christianity, U is based upon the vicarious atone ment of the Nazarene. That this Is the teaching of the New Testament will, I suppose, be questioned by no orthodox believer In Christian ity. The vicarious atonement meana, as I understand it, the substitution of the life of Jesus In place of that of Adam, which the bible teaches had been forfeited because of his disobedience. "For aa In Adam all die so, also, shall ull be made alive in Christ." JJut, if evolution be true, Adam did not forfeit his life and a state of implied perfection, consequently, no sub.stanlional juice, or vicarious atonement, was paid by Jesus by iiis death on the cross. As suggested above, I am puzzled to know how It is possible to ac cent tho doctrine of the vieorlous atonement, and' at tho eamo time believe In evolution, which direct ly contradicts that doctrine. I shall be pleased to have some one explain the matter and harmon ize the contradiction, as I have some very good Christian friends who claim to be Modernists. I do not want to be compelled to think of these friends as insincere in their belfofe. Neither do I wish to think of them us intellectual in competents. Sincerely yours, A SLAUGHTER. Salem, Ore., July 15, 1925. STATE MOVES TO EXCLUDE SCIENTISTS (Continued from Paso One.) stale resisting tho effort of the do fense to admit this testimony. liefore Dr. Metcalf could an swer Clarence Harrow's first ques tion on evolution, Attorney General Stewart objected to continuance of this, claiming tho witness had tes tified nt length to show the nature of the testimony. It was said, however, that the court and attorneys were not in full accord as to the procedure in tho case oC tho "lest witness ' the defenso proposing to put him on the stand nain if the evidence should be admitted. Tho court requested Dr. Met calf to stand aside. Durrow States Purpose Clarence Harrow slated then that" the defense expected to show that tho bible was not in conflict with the theory of evolution. "We ex pect to show what evolution is," he Raid. "Wo submit," he said, "that the jury cannot decide the caso Intel ligently without knowing what evolution Is." It was announced that Arthur G. Hays, of defense counsel would make the argument for tho de fense and this led to a discussion of the order" in which the argu ments would be delivered. During the discussion between tho attor ney general and Mr. Hays the court admonished the nttornoys to ad dress the court instead of each other. Ue.su ming tho attorney general Insisted that the fact that the stale contentions must be accepted and precludes any testimony intended to show thai there is or is not a conflict between evolution theories and the story of divine creation as taught in the bible. William Jennings Bryan, Jr.. op ened for the prosecution. Jury Is meludrd. Tho Jury excluded from the court room yesten'ay during the testi mony of Dr. Maynard Metcalf "test witness," was still out of the room. Dr. Metcalf, a zoologist, gave tes timony of evolution yesterday to show the nature of the evidence the defense would insist on. The argument of William Jen nings liryan, marked his first ap pearanco before the court. He characterized the expert testimony suggested by the defense as the "weakest, the most capable of abuse" and the most dangerous. He said that Mr. Darrow in the Loeb-Leopold trial characterised experts as "purveyor of perjury During his eon'a speech, William Jennings Bryan sat just behind his son an dllstened Intently to every word, leaning forward at intervals to hear. Finally the Florida man moved his chair and took a seat several feet nearer his son. Issue ltes trie ted "The only Issue this Jury must decide is whether or not John Thomas Scopes violated the law," Mr. liryan continued. "To permit testimony by experts would be to substitute trial by expects for trial by jury." Among the authorities cited by -Mr. liryan during the course of his brief speech were many difficul ties by the supreme court of Ten nessee. Arthur Garfield Hays respond ed for tho defence, 'i-'irst," he said, "the prosecution insi.sled upon the jury's not hearing tho law. Now they Insist upon lis not hearing the facts. "We admit that Mr. Scopes taught what tho state said he tau?Iit. Nut that ho violated the law by-doing so. I, for one, must be shown that there is variance be tween what he taught and the bible. "Our scientists are not here to give opinions. They are here to state the facts of science. None of them are paid experts. They come here In the Interests of science. "Does your honor or any one else know what evolution is, with out hearingthe evidence? If your honor says that opinion evidence may not be produced, may not evi dence of the facta be Introduced?" he continued. Defends Testimony. He contended that Mr. Scopes had taught that man was descend ed from a lower order of animals, since both man nnd money were classified on the same order of animals as primates. He argued that under the law anything was "relevant as evidence that tended to throw light upon tho quesiion. Tho defense attor ney asked that they be allowed to show what evolution Is and what the bible is. "liven If on no other ground," he argued, "this evidence should be admitted as information for the court." During Mr. Hays argument Judge Kaulston questioned tho at torney as to his understanding of Mr. White's testimony yesterday in regard to the expiration of a contract authorizing textbooks. John R. Neal interposed to say that the contract had expired but no substitute has been provided leav ing the books In full force. ltrynn Is Heard. W. J, Bryan spoke In the case for the second time, rising to sug gest that the passage of the statute prohibiting t lie teaching of evolu tion theories suspended all text books In conflict with the law. Another bit of aide play came up when Mr. Hays spoke of "Mr. Bryan," suggesting that perhaps he should say "the distinguished leader of the prosecution." The court said that Willlum Jennings Bryan, Sr., had not yet made an argument In tho case and anything he might have said out side the courtroom would not be competent discussion in argument. Mr. Bryan called attention to the fact that he was not the leader of the prosecution, but merely as sociate counsel and that Attorney General Stewart was in charge of the state's case. Mr. Stewart announced that he "bowed" to Mr, Bryan, Mr. Hays resumed and the argument went on. Mr. Bryan, from Los Angeles, when he begun his speech spoke In so low a tone that he was re quested at intervals by counsel and the Judge to raise his voice. His tones gradually became more audi ble as he "warmed up." ! nr P!r U.LVL UIVL KEY 10 PLANS OF FOREIGN UNIT Paris, July 16 (AP) The new Lafayette escadrille of American forces formed to assist the French In their fight against the Moroc can rebels, has received the sane tion of Premier Palnleve and ita organizers hope ft can leave Tou louse for the front before the end of the month. The escadrille will consist of ten planes and 12 pilots and will have its base at Fez. The list of fliers is not complete but it includes sev eral experienced pilots and observ ers who saw service at the front in the world war. Among them arc Granville A. Pollock, of Now Orleans, Charles W. Kerwood of Philadelphia, Major Rogers of Pittsburgh, Charley Sweeney of Seattle, and Paul Rock well of Atlanta, pollock and Ker wood were-members of the origin al Lafayette escadrille. The Americans will enter the service under the banner of the-sultan of Morocco who has an excel lent and well equipped air service of his own. Their offer to serve was "for the duration of the pres ent emergency" but the regulations of the foreign legion call for five year enlistments, hence their en rollment under the sultan. Dotalled reports from French quarters show that Abd-el-Krim, the rebel chief, in preparing an other drive, Is pursuing his tactics of wearing out the French troops by forcing their constant shifting along the front to meet sudden at tacks at unexpected points.
