MORS GAME REFUGES NEEDED. . The national government has tor a a amber ot year past been estab lishing game preserves throughout the wilder portions of the country. It has gone about the job In a rather desoRory manner, however, and not with the vigor thai the Importance of the work should demand. Tracts should be set aside throughout the national forests, ' not as game pre serves, butas gams refuges within which game animals snd birds could aide and breed undisturbed by the ana with a gun and a thirst for blood. From these nfuges the sur plus game would naturally find Rs way Into territory where the chase Is permitted, and 'the supply would be maintained without danger ot extinc tion of species. These refuges need not be extensive In site, but they should be located at advantageous points through all the game districts. In southern Oregon there are a num ber of places where the deer breed in numbers, and where they should be protected at all times of the year.

ENFORCING ECONOMY. , The way of the legislator In the coming session of the state solons at the capital will not be fraught alto gether with pleasure. The dear paopla through their rights of Initia tion have tied the hands of the here tofore liberal-minded guardians of the public treasury, snd while the spirit might be willing, the legs! qualifications will be missing. The six per cent limitation law voted upon at the late election will become effec tive as soon ss the governor hss pro claimed the result of the ballot, then budgets snd eetlmstes and demands will have to be governed entirely by the law and not by the liberality ot the men who .hold the purse strings. That the new law does not say Just what the framers ot it mean. Is the statement of Stste Treasurer Kay. Mr. Kay asys: "The object of the hill mas to pre vent the state or any tax-levying dis trict in the state from spending more nxiney one year than it bad spent the preceding year, plus six per cent, but the bill was made to read that neither the state nor any tax-levying district In the state can raise more money one year than It raised the preceding year, plus six per cent, which la quite a different proposition. Note the difference between too word 'ralsd' and 'expended.' For Instance, the state of Oregon required to prj the running expenses of its departments and Institutions tor the year 1916, $3,100,000, in addition to money raised from indirect sources. The state carried over an unexpended balance from 1915, of $r50,000, and after deducting this amount from the smount required, namely 13,100, 000, it raised but f3.5n0.000 for 111, iilthnagh It spent $1,100,000. Now, under the provisions ot this constitutional amendment, the stste can raise but six per cent more than 12,500,000 next year, or $2,701,000, which Is 1400,000 less than the amount expended In 1916. "Therefore, Instead of permitting the stste to spend as much ss It has spent heretofore, and ll per cent more, the bill, on account of being Improperly drawn, through lack of A Pennsylvania congressman has adopted the aeroplane as the means of transportation between his home and . the national capital. The air root is quite suggestive ot the line that landed the average congressman oa the job.

It was their splendid fighting along the Cerna bend that compelled the enemy to abandon their southern defenses, en abling 'advance due north of the French and Russian troops. Ejected from their own country a year ago by Field Marshal von Mackensen's tremendous drive, forced to flee In disorder, the regiments scattered, their equipment what little tbere was for the most part abandoned, the Serbians hare been transformed In a brief twelve months Into a for mldable array, with new arms sad equipment, and the splendid tutor ship of French troops, operating with them ss brothers In srms. ( It Is expected here that the Mona stlr victory will have Important ef fecta In relieving the German pres sure sgainat Roumania a pressure that has been regarded gravely of late. The London press does not hesi tate to call the situation of the Rou manians "precarious." Berlin, via Sayvllle, Nov. 20. Evacuation of Monastlr was a mea sure "prepared since several days," said a special review of the Balkans fighting, Issued today. The city. 'It Is said, waa "without any military Im portance." The review declares the method In which the city1 was taken was an "open avowal of the fact that the original plan of General Ssrrslw' army (o Join hands with the Russo- Roomanian forces has been aban-' doned forever." . ASK MESS TO PRCDE I.W.V, KILLING Seattle. Nov. 20. Resolutions, adopted by the largest mass meeting ever held In Dreamland pavilion here, were forwarded today to President Wilson, congress, Secretary of Labor Wilson, United States Senator Polu dexter of Washington, v and Meyer 4 London, socialist congressman of New York, urging congressional Investiga tion ot the killing ot seven and the wounding of SO men at Everett, Wash., on Sunday, November S, when the steamer Verona, carrying 250 I. W. W. members from Seattle, was met by citlxen deputies In Everett. The meeting, held Sundsy after noon, was railed by the Central Labor council Jointly with the Industrial Workers of the World, ss a demon stration In behalf of the right of tree speech, which, the speakers contend ed, waa lawlessly abridged by the au thorities at Everett. A crowd of 5,000 persons partici pated in the mass meeting. Mayor Gill's statement that the sheriff, mayor and citlxen deputies of Everett hsd no right to prevent the Verona' from landing its. passengers waa enthusiastically endorsed by the speakers. The report ot the federal Industrial relations commission was ci'cd several times in support of the contention that the Everett Incident was similar to other cases where em ployers, sided by the authorities. trampled on constitutional rights, law and order. The latter were denounced as the real anarchists who resort to "direct action." . In this class was Included the "law.and ordcV" com mittee organised last week In Seattle by 100 prominent citizens, who de nounced Mayor Gill. , Practically all the speakers de clared confidently that not one of the 74 I. W. V. members held In the Snohomish county Jail, charged with murder, could be convicted. Rev. Sydney Strong, chairman, ex pressed the hope that the authorities would liberate them all. In the Inter ests of peace, before any trial was called, and that the whole matter should then become a closed Incident. KRIKMM ItHTKIVK WOltll OK 8KXOKA VIIX.VK DKATH London, Nov. 20.

Bryan was to plunge Into his four year prohibition tight. today with an address before the Chicago dry Feder ation. Bryan's epeeoh here Is the signal for the opening ot a campaign to, make, Chicago dry In 1918. It la also his opening shot In a four-year campaign to make the United States dry. Before he Is through, tha eom moner plana to foreo an antl-boose plank Into the platforms ot both big parties. He said the present prohibi tion wave would sweep every state In the union. "I believe that prohibition will be the paramount Issue ot 1920, Un less tbe amendment Is made' before that. It Is probable that the amend ment will be submitted In 1920. It Is even possible that It may pass this winter. Tha democratic party la In a position now to take up the sub ject, "and the republicans may be com pelled to." la commenting upon the re-election of President Wilson, Bryan (aid: "I am very much gratified at the result. As the value of tha victory Is Increased, It baa put an end to the superstition that no victory could be won without New York. The belief that the New York vote waa neces sary has had a restraining Influence for a generation up to this adminis tration. The country will now feel free to legislate as It pleases and New York will be treated as other sections." sav jr f i - mm wm inn ( m mm GERMANS FAIL TO CREDIT PEACE TALK Berlin, Nov. 20. The German public regards skeptically, so fsr ss Immediate action Is concerned. Wash ington reports via Switzerland and London' that President Wilson may soon take some kind of steps for peace. The government Itself Is hav ing nothing to do with the peace talk, nor Is the army. The srmy Is con centrating Its efforts towsrds win ning. The general attitude toward American Ambassador Gerard Is changing. He probably will find him self more popular when he returns than he was six months sgo. There is a seemingly well-founded report here that before Gerard departed of ficials expected him to return, even In the event of President Wilson's defeat, and remain as long as pos sible. Rut as far as the general public Is concerned, the report of peace steps are causing universal discussion. The growth of sentiment for an Interna tional agreement to prevent other wars Is evidenced by efforts of Ger man newspapers to obtain from Isaac Wolf, president of the American Chamber of Commerce, Information and Idea as to the American league to Enforce Peace. The newspaper Germanla and Its sister conservative organ, tho Taxes Zeltung. both ssy that Wilson should make peace but these views hardly represent public sentiment or the of ficial viewpoint. Trie Germanla article declared that If Sir Edward Grey, for Knglnnd; Chancellor Bcthmann-Hollweg, for Germany, and President Wilson real ly want universal peace after the war, now 1s the time to get together. With all this discussion of peace, Germany la a unit In. casting aside any fears for defeat. Every one de rlsres there la still "considerable punch" left and the success of the Roumanian offensive and the German U boat cruiser wsrfare Is psrtlpularly cited.
