tions or individuals in a national or
ganization which shall be strictly non-

Britain Put on Gold Basis.
London.—Great Britain returned to
a gold standard Tuesday, Winston
Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer,
announced in the house of commons
where he introduced the budget for
the coming fiscal year. Addressing a
house in which every seat was filled,
the galleries being crowded with dis-,
tinguished visitors, and peers while
the entire country waited for details
of the budget, Churchill added that the
government had decided to pennit the
bank of England to export bullion,
„starting today. The chancellor of the
exchequer announced that the domin
ions also were returning to the gold

Oregon Highway Body Sued on Paving
Portland, Qr.—Suit has been filed
against the state highway commission
to determine two points, first whether
the commission has the right to re
build a paved highway when other
state highways are still unpaved, and
the second, whether the commission
can decide, after bids are received
whether it wants concrete or "black-
top” pavement. This is the first tlme
that these matters have ever been
raised since the creation of the com-
mission.
Olympia, Wash. — Attorney-General
John H. Dunbar refused to comment
on the result of his investigation rela
tive to charges against former Goy-,
ernor Louis F. Hart in connection with
the Scandinavian American bank fees,
other than to say he had turned the
entire matter over to Prosecuting At
torney Roscoe R. Fullerton of Thurs
ton county and stated as his reason
for so doing that "the attorney-general
is not allowed by law to file criminal
prosecutions.”
Shortly thereafter
Prosecutor Fullerton, in response to
many pre^z’ng inquiries, gave out the
fjllowfn;' statement: "I have this
mortuuM received a ’communication
from John H. Dunbar, attorney-gen
eral, relative to a charge against ex
Governor Halt. This charge is now
being investigated by me, and until
that investigation is completed I will
have no statement whatever to make
in connection with the sama.”
The exact nature of the charges
against ex-Governor Hart to this time
continues a matter of speculation.

Canada to Consider Further Immigra
tion Restriction.
Ottawa.—While Canada will not of
fend Japan, there are evidences that
the Japanese immigration question as
affecting the Pacific coast Is again to
come up for dla< uaslon.
Persistent demands from members
of parliament representing British Co
lumbia constituencies for further re
struction of Japanese Immigration into
this country will, it is now understood,
form the basie of an investigation by
a sub-committee of the cabinet.
The chief matter for Investigation
is the charge, freely made by the Brit
ish Columbians, that the Japane.se are
not strictly adhering to the restrictive
agreement between the Canadian and
Japanese governments.
