A. L. Mills, President Of Di
rect Primary League,
Lists Provisions
Post-Primary Nominating
Conventions Provided
In Proposal
rOUTLAND, Ore., Jnn. 5. (Spc-
ciul). A plan designed to amend aud
supplement the present Oregon direct
primary law has been formulated by
A. h. Mills, president ot the Direct
l'riuiary league. The measure will be
introduced in the sennto and house
at the coming session of tho state
legislature, and it is hoped that if it
passes, that body will refer it to tho
people.
'l'he new program would provide
for post-primary nominating conven
i tionB in certain cases, and comes us
result of a speech mode by Sir,
i Mills at the chamber of commerce lust

what were termed undername oy
nroducts of the primary. Later he whb
.besieged with requests to frame
' amendments calculated to remove
noma of the abuses of the system.
40 Par Cent Vote.
Failure of a candidate in the pri
i msry to receive 40 per cent of the
total voto cast at the primary would,
under the proposed amendment, mean
that he is not nominated,' and nomi
nations in such cases would be made
by convention. , .
Other salient features ot the pro
posed bill are as follows:
Post-primary county and state con
ventions to be held to make such nom
inations when the primary shows that
one or more nominations were not
made under the 40 per cent provision,
and also to adopt platforms.
Unsuccessful candidates in pri

made in negotiations proposed by the
northern lines toward carrying
through their projected joint exten

Tho fact that the San Francisco

that tho railways now touching the

s une slliilit hope that the Interested

ber nailing to be cut into lumber,
would put the northern Hues in easier

Lakeview to San Francisco, tue
northern llne would have access lo
San Francisco and Salt Lake city via

by Secretary. Hughes to Secretary
Mellon for his "personal and private
information."
Inasmuch as the document was pre-

finance minister to AmbHsaador ller
rick, as nn unofficial and private com

cals would make no comment on the

Announcement of tlte appointment

A. Lugou, (be reguiur reparation com
mission observer tor the United
Suites has served to strengthen the
puimc bei.el! that the deot problem
will be a subject of unottie.al conver
sations and it i hoped tbese will help
Dnng a solution appreciably 'nearer.
Tue thorniest problem before the
coniereme proper is that of the
American isuaru in the Duwea plan
yield. While i'Vance, Italy and liei
gi um admit Unit the United States
lias a rigbt in equity if not in luw, to
snare in the proceeds, Great' Britain
denies mica rigbt. At the sume time,
those allies winch aduut the Ameri
can claim nsk that their own per
centages be not affected, thereby
opening up an extremely important
uuestiou, namely the widening of the
scope of application ot the Duwea
plan.
British Meet
Great importance is uttached to the
meeting today of the British cabinet
and it is hoped some arrangement may
be devised by his majesty's ministers,
which will permit settlement of the
difficulty over theAmericau claim.
Should the British refuse to modify
their attitude, it Is thought probable
the dispute will be sent to The Hague
court for final pronouncement. This
solution would not be welcome in
French circles, which believed that,
while the United States would consent
to submit it's case to the court's rul
ing, It would do ao reluctantly.
It is confidently expected that the
other points before the conference
vfii he settled satfttfactoriiy, thanks
to tho competent preparatory work
of the experts. Tremier Herriot and
Finance Minister Clementel have been
holding daily conferences in an endea
vor to smooth the path for the con
ferees. Some of the delegates have already
arrived, notably rre.mler Bratiano of
Koumnnia. and M. Stovanovitch, the
Jugo-Slav representative with a staff
of assistants.

Senate Launches
Into Postal Pay
ncrease issue
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. The sen
ate launched today into the postal pay
increase issue under an agreement
putting aside the Muscle Shoals uues
tions and renuiriuff a vote on Presi
dent L'oolidge's veto of the postal
measure, passed last session, by Dot
later than 4 p. in. tomorrow.
Before the senate also is the admin
Istretlon bill providing for increases
iu postal rates along with the postal
salary increases and consideration of
the veto was complicated by this tac
tor. Senator Moses, republican, New
Hampshire, in charge of the rate bill,
informed the senate Saturday, after
Senator Norris, republican, Nebraska,
had blocked a move for immediate
consideration of that measure, that
he would seek its adoption today.
Kegardlcss of the action on this
measure, it was considered likely the
senate will vote on the veto of the
salary bill. Before the vote can be
taken, however, action on a motion by
Senator Sterling, republican, South
ilakota, to recommit tbc measure, is
in order. Favorable action on this mo
tiim would have the effect of sustain
ing the veto. ,
SALEM, Ore., Jan. 5. Reduction
of 50 per cent on present rates for,
thoroughbred livestock used for

operating in the city with the public

rate is effective February fi( U-'5.
Owners of fine horses and dairy
men in particular have been seeking
such rate for several years, it was
stated. Vnder the new rate dairymen
will be able to ship their pedigreed
stock from point to point at just one-
half the, present expense. The new
rate is expected to do much toward
increasing the lvgh quality of pure
bred dairy herds in the state and was
advocated for the good of the indus
try. ounty fairs ud other livestock
expi-rittons will also receive the bene
fit vf'the new rate, for owners will
feci better able to stand the shipping
charges.

COLDS THAI
Chronic coughs and persiitent coldf
lead to serious lung trouble. You dan
on them now with Creomulsion. an
emulsified creosote that is pleasant to (
take. (reomuision is a new medical
discovery with twofold action; it soothe;
and heals the inflamed membranea and
kills the germ.
Of all known drugs, creosote is rec
ognized by the medical fraternity as the
greatest healing agency for the treat
ment of chronic coughs and colds and
other forms of throat and lung troubles,
Creomulsion pontains, in addition to
creosote, other healing elements which
soothe and heal the inflamed mem
branes and stop the irritation and in

consumption.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac
tory in the treatment of chronic coughs
and colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal
bronchitis and other forms of throat
