GOOD ROADS PROVIDED
FOR BY THIS BILL
Restore 1879 Tax on Tobacco
and Link State Capitals
with National Highway.
Commercial associations and simi
lar organizations in Chicago have
been asked to support a bill to be in
troduced by Congressman Stanton
Warburton of Tacoma, Wash., at the
corning session of congress, The bill
provides for the creation of a nation
al military highway, connecting the
capital of every stale in the union
with the nation s capital.
Though not a state capital, Chicago,
according to the tentative plans,
would be the eastern terminus of a
trunk line connecting this city with
San Francisco, via Lincoln, Neb.; Salt
Lake City, Utah, and Sacramento,
Cal.
The hill will provide for a sixteen
foot roadway, with heavy concrete
base and hard surface, such as asphalt
or vitrified brick s oas to make the
roads as nearly as possible dustlcss.
The expense is estimated at from
$20,000 to $25,000 a mile.
In order to raise the large sum that
will be required,, Congressman War
burton proposes to restore the inter
nal revenue tax of IH79 on tobacco
and to set aside the additional income
from this source as a national road
fund. The additional tax so provided,
he estimates, would amount to eighty
million dollars a year, and with this
fund at the disposal of the govern
ment lie believes the contemplated
15,000 miles of roadway could be built
and paid for within five years.
The bill will also provide for the use
of Yi per cent of this income for the
construction of like roads in the na
tional parks, $200,000 a year to be
spent for each park for a period of
five years.
Congressman Warburton in his bill
will urge the immediate construction
of an Atlantic and (in If line from
Agusta, Me., to lialon Rouge, La.,
and Tallahassee, I'la., and a Pacific
coast line from Olympia, Wash., to
Los Angeles, Cal. Under his plan
the various states will be asked to
grant the government the most feas
ible roadways, the exact locations of
which will be made by federal engi
neers. "There is no doubt," says the con
gressman, "about the amount of mon
ey that would be received under my
proposed bill. A year ago I had occa
sion to request the internal revenue
department at ' Washington to figure
.out for me the income that would
have been derived on tobacco the pre
ceding year if the law of 187'J had
been in force.
"It is a well settled ride that a tax
on luxuries dues not decrease the
amount consumed, though no great
harm would occur if it did. Our tax
on tobacco is small. It was reduced
in H7$ because the government was
getliiig more revenue thah it was us
ing. It was decreased again in IS79
for (he same reason, and again in
1883. Our tax on tobacco is not a
fourth of what it was during the war.
"While the proposed increase
might seem heavy, it will not even
be noticed by the consumer. It would
raise the tax on a 10 cent cigar three
tenths of 1 cent. The manufacturer
would decrease the weight of the to
bacco onc-thirlieth, and the consumer
could not tell the difference. The
manufacturer of smoking tobacco
would reduce (he size of the package
about a twelfth. Muring the Spanish
American war there was a tax on to
bacco, ami not one smoker in a thou
sand knew it.
TUc proposed scheme of roads, I
think, is a most important one from
every point of view. It is not neces
sary to slate (he advantages of such a
system; l hey will appeal to every one.
1 can ni it imagine opposition to the
proposed law from any source, as it
srcins lo me there will be a universal
demand for it by the people when
they are advised how easy it is to ac
quire the roads, and how little the
putiiic at large will teel the tax.

LEBANON ITEMS
JILTED SHOW GIRL SUES
FICKLE BEAU FOR $10,000
Chorus Brunette Demands Cash
for Love Letters of Million
aire's Faithless Son.
New York, Dec. 5. Madeline Mar
shall, a blooming brunette show girl
who appeared last year with Kichard
Carle in "Jumping Jupiter," places a
valuation of $76.12 1-3 on each one
of 130 love letters from her faithless
beau, John W. Ilanfort Jr., Yale man
and son of a Pittsburg millionaire.
She sued today for $10,000 for breach
of promise, but the amount would
have been greater had not young
Manfort sent Miss Marshall several
costly presents, These include diam
onds and an auto. Being of a busi
ness turn of mind, Miss Marshall has
deducted them from the general sum
demanded. Hanfort was married re
cently. It was exceedingly cruel, Mr. Han
fort's treatment of Miss Marshall,
who is a "kind, trusting little girl,"
said the show girl's counsel, Jacob
Weissberger. "They were to be mar
ried last June and were to take an
automobile honeymoon in a machine
he had purchased for her. This auto
was not the onl ygift he lavished
upon her. He gave her, for instance,
$J,000 worth of diamonds. For this
reason she is asking only $10,000
damages in the suit she has institut
ed in the supreme court.
"Ilaufort's father sold out his steel
holdings some years ago for several
million dollars. He is abroad now.
When he was married recently, the
young man (he's 23, a year older than
Miss Marshall) received $50,000 from
his father."
DUN'S WEEKLY REPORT
ON BUSINESS CONDITION
The following is a summary of
the week's business outlook from
Dun's Review:
The volume of business trans
actions continues on a steadily
rising scale and the activity of
trade results in a number of de
velopments incidental to a period
of prosperity. The demand for
money, as is common near the
close of the year, brings about ad
vancing rates. There is a scarc
ity of labor i'lt some of the indus
tries and the inadequacy of trans
portal ion facilities results in back
ward deliveries, as is witnessed in
iron and steel. Regardless of
these and other developments,
both national and international,
the volume of trade continues to
rise week by week and month by
month. November has been in
many respects the best month this
country has ever CNperieuced and
every prospect is pleasing for a
holiday season of extraordinary
activity. The weather has been
especially favorable for retail dis
tribution. Cotton and woolen
goods continue in expanding de
mand and the New England mills
have in prospect for next spring
a great volume of orders. The
silk trade also improves. There
is continued advance in the vol
ume of shoe business, Leather is
still strong, but hides are casjer.
The only drawback to the iron
and steel trade is shortage of ears
.T.id of labor; but not only is pro
duction now at the maximum, but
the outlook for the new year is
all that could be desired. There
is an enormous domestic move
ment of wheat. Foreign politi
cal troubles have an influence on
the American markets for securi
ties; also of wheat and copper.
All current financial and trade
statistics are very favorable. De
cember interest and dividend pay
ments will be nearly ?.(XX),000
larger than last year. Railroad
gross earnings during three weeks
of November show an increase of
7.8 per cent and all sections of the
country combine to make a gain
of 8.4 per cent in bank clearings
oyer last year. At the port of
New York in the most recent
week the exports were $17,954.
8o, $1,8J4,(XK) less tli;uflast year,
but over !jv ,000,000 more than in
l'MO, and imports were $-.'0,734,-(,
being slightly in excess of
last year and over '$5,000,000 more
than in 1910.

COUNCIL APPOINTS
NIGHT POLICEMEN
A. B. Marshall and J. Q. Rodgers
of This City Were Successful
Candidates For Places.
BOTH WERE RECOMMENDED
BY CHIEF OF POLICE AUSTIN
Much Other Business Was Acted
Upon By City Fathers at the
Adjourned Meeting.
Afior rliscussine the oualifications
of the various applicants for the posi
tion of night police, the city council
last' evening dcided to act upon the
recommendations of Chief of Police
Austin and appoint tne men suggraicu
by him A. 11. Marshall and J. A.
Rodgers. These men will officiate as
night police until January when they
will be reappointed or their success
ors named.
Besides the applications ot Mar
shall and Rodgers, three other men
including John Catlin, William O.
Dokc and W. E; Baldwin also pre
sented applications for the positions.
When the names of the various canr
didates were balloted upon by the
council Marshall secured 6, Catlin 3,
and Rodgers 3. The tic between Cat
lin and Rodgers was settled by Mayor
Gilbert who cast the deciding vote in
favor of Rodgers. .
The appointment of the night po
lice aroused considerable argument in
the council before the matter was fin
ally disposed of.- Councilman Cham
bers warmly defended John Catlin,
slating that during the past three or
four years, with the exception of a
short time, Catlin had been very faith
ful and on the job most of the time,
and urged the council to recognize the
petition signed by over an hundred
local men asking that Catlin be ap
pointed. Mayor Gilbert stated that it was the
ilntv of the council to recognize pe
titions of the people but there were
exceptions, to the rule. He said that
be believed Catlin was a very efficient
officer when sober but that, lie was
unreliable and could not be depended
upon.
Councilman Simpson was opposed
lo appointing Catlin.
"Vany people have come to me
who signed Catlin's petition and want
ed to know if. we really intended to
appoint him.." 1 recognize Catlin's
ability s a "hobo chaser," but you
can't depend on him staying sober.
Catlin's petition was the only one
presented and I really believe that had
any other of the candidates circulated
a petition they would have secured
twiro as inanv signatures as Catlin
did. I am in "favor of appointing the
men recommended by Chief of 1 once
Austin."
'Councilman Hulbcrt said: "I feel
the same way about the matter as
Mr. Simpson does. Catlin is a good
officer when sober but despite his
promises you can t depend on him
keeping them, he has broken so many
promises before. Mr. Austin accept
ihe nosition of chief of polieeand as
he is responsible for the action of his
men, 1 believe he should tie allowed
lo select them and 1 will vote in favor
of the men whom he recommended."
Councilman Lyons, another one of
Catlin s defenders, stated that tne past
record of Catlin was good with the
exception of a few times when that in
dividual became intoxicated and that
as Catlin has promised not to become
intoxicated again, he should be given
a chance and the petition sent to the
council recognized. Councilman
Cameron made a motion that the
chief of police be allowed -to choose
his own men which was carried.
The balloting then occurred which
resulted ill the appointment of Rodg
ers and Marshall. Ik-sides the police
business, the council also acted upon
several other matters last evening.
Street Superintendent Ries was or
dered to clean all the alleys between
Water and Third streets and Lyon
and Calapooia streets and charge the
expense to the owners of the proper
ty. The gravelling of certain streets
was discussed but no formal action
taken.
A petition from property owners
in the eastern .section of the city for
a cross walk on the east side of
Geary street at the Santiam road, as
the east side of Geary street is out
side the city limits, no action was
taken in the matter, further than to
have the petition tiled.
Mayor Gilbert stated that he be
lieved that if the matter of extending
the city limits was submitted to the
people again that it would undoubted
ly pass as many of those who voted
against it before, now regret their
action ami were willing to sign an
agreement to come into the city if
an election was called again.
The mayor and recorder were au
thorized to enter into a contract with
the Pacific Telephone company for
the installation of an electric switch
in the office of the telephone com
pany by which the police alarm can
be sounded. The telephone company
offered to install the switch free of
charge.
The official canvass of, the recent
city election ami the mayor's procla
mation declaring the new charter to
be in full force and effect were read
ami ordered placed on file.
A proposition from Collins & Tay
lor to trade the Last Chance property
at the corner of First and Baker
streets to the city of Albany for the
propertv now occupied by Engine
House No. 2 on Lyon street was read
and referred to the council as a com
mittee of the whole to report at the
regular meeting next Wednesday.
The property at First and Baker
streets is 100x110 and the city's prop-

MORE IN ARE SUICIDES
THAN WOMEN IN THE SOUTH
California Statistics Show the
'Weaker" Sex Stronger
j Against Adversity.
Sacramento, Dec. 4. Suicides in
California have been relatively fewer
since 190S, according to a summary of
vital reports tor the live-year period,
191-191 lt prepared by Statistician
Letlie of the state board of health.
Leslie finds that the proportion of
suicides among native born Lahtor
i.iatts is much less than that of resi
dents born in oilier states or in for
eign countries, the natives numbering
only one-sixth of the total.
j What the Statistics Tell.
jThc statistician's- report follows:
f'The figures for 1907 to 1911 show
thfct in California the suicides average
705 annually, representing 22.1 self
inflicted deaths among each 1,000
from all causes and indicating that in
every 100,000 persons some 30.6 die
by their own hands.
"Although the number of suicides
hi 1911 (752) was greater than in the
two preceding years, yet 1911 was
only an average year in the proportion
of suicides to total deaths or to resi
dent population.
''The year 1908, when times were
hard, shows the maximum figures for
total suicides, 757; for the proportion
uer 1,000 deaths. 24.2: and also for the
deatli rate from suicide per 100.000
population, J4.. fc.ach year since IWS,
however, suicides have been relatively
less numerous, generally speaking.
More Men Than Women.
"Men resort to suicide very much
more than do women. About five-
sixths (83.1 per cent) of all suicides
arc men, while males are only five
eights (62.4 per cent) of all decedents
according to the annual averages for
1907 to 1911.
"Among suicides, an average of
94.1 per cent belong to the white or
Caucasian face, as compared with
94.6 per cent for deaths from all caus
es. This shows that Japanese. Chin
ese and negroes are somewhat more
apt to commit suicide than are Cau
casians.
"Of the white suicides about one
third (33.7 per cent) were born ii
foreign countries, another one-third
(33.4 per cent) were born in other
states: over one-.MNth (1-2 per cent)
were native Californians; and nearly
another one-sixth (!5.7 per cent) were
of unknown nativity. These per cent
ages are the annual averages for 1907
to 1911."
CORVALLIS WOMAN HAS BEEN
ASLEEP FOR OVER 120 HOURS
Amity. Or.. Dec. 4. Mrs. I. R
Harlan, whose home is at Corvallis, is
still asleep, after having been in that
condition for some than 120 hours.
She was stricken last Friday and
without any sense of pain and while
talking with members of the family
in whose home she was visiting here,
seemed to go fost asleep in what was
supposed to ,be natural slumber.
When at bedtime she had not arous
ed, and efforts to awaken her proved
tutite, a physician was summoned.
Since that time every known treat
ment has been tried without anv ef
fect whatever. Attending physicians
arc at a loss to know what the real
cause of the ailment is and cannot
say what the outcome will be.
Mr and Mrs. R. C. Moore of Min

MAN DEEDS PROPERTY TO
UNGRATEFUL RELATIVES
Joseph R. Goodwin Wants His
Farm Back Didn't Die As
Expected By Relatives.
When Joseph R. Godwin, a Linn
county farmer was stricken with para
lysis in August, 1909 and believed that
he hadn'nt long to live, he wanted
someone to look after him until his
death and to give him a decent burial.
He owned 340 acres of fine land in
this county,
A number of his relatives offered
to take good care of him until his
death and to see that he was respect
ably buried, provided he would deed
them his land. This he did, giving
40 acres each to George W. Godwin,
Pearlie O. Godwin, Nettie O. Scott,
Jennie V. Godwin Junkey, and Wil
liam L. Godwin, to Joseph L. Godwin,
Ella M. Godwin, Cassie Godwin, Min
nie M. Godwin, and Laura L. Godwin
he deeded a tract of land containing
160 acres.
Contrary to expectations, Godwin
improved shortly afterward and his
relatives ejected him from the place
leaving him without a home. God
win now wants the court to give him
his farm beak and set aside the deeds
which conveyed the property to the
relatives.
MUST LEAVE SEVENTEEN .
YEAR OLD BRIDE
Colorado Youth Must' Leave
Wife to Serve Out Time in
the Reform School.
Denver, Dec. 9. "If the state of
Colorado must have its pound of flesh
I will give it my right arm tor the re
lease of its claim on my brother."
This was the message given to Gov
ernor Shafroth by Gail Shclden, sister
of 18-year-old Roscoe Sheldcn, who,
according to Superintendent Paddle
ford of the State Industrial school at
Golden, must leave his 17-year-old
bride of a year, his 6-week-old babe,
his $1S per week position, his little
home he is paying for, and return to
Golden to remain until h'e is 21.
"The bo yran away from the school
two years ago and the only way we
have of preserving discipline is to
make a severe example of runaways
when they arc caught," is the state
ment of lrrcd L. Paddleford, super
intendent of the school,
.".Mr, Paddleford isa good man; he
has absolute power 'to d oas he pleas
es. I do not in fact, I am not sure
that I would have a right to interfere
with him," is the statement of Gov
ernor Shaffroth.
in the anteroom, while waiting her
turn to sec the governor, the girl told
her side of the story. She did not
waste words, because she had to see
the governor and get to her room to
dress and be at her work by 7 o'clock.
"The boy hasn't had a fair chance,"
she said. "None . of us had a fair
chance.
"He did run away from the indus
trial sehoH. He couldn't help it. It
is in the blood. Father ran away from
mother when the youngest child was
thirteen months old. Mother has
done her best to keep us four chil
dren together ever since. That's been
ten years. Mother fought the saloon
keepers and gamblers in Glenwood
Springs.
"The boys in the Springs were in
the habit of taking the railroad veloc
ipede and stealing rides. Roscoe did
it with the other boys. He was ar
rested and the -man in eharge of the
machine swore that the machine was
locked. Ii wasn't.
"Roscoe was paroled. Then he ran
away from school two days and they
sent him to Golden to remain eight
years until he would be 21. Mother
collapsed. She couldn't see the boy.
She has seenhim once since then
once."' "
ELECTRIC CHAIR INSTEAD OF
HANGING IS OBJECT OF BILL
That the electric chair will be in
troduced in Oregon in place of the
gallows as a means of execution is
the proposition of ex-Speaker C. N.
McArthur of Portland, who says he
will introduce a bill to that effect in
the coining legislature.
Mr. McArthur believes that elec
trocution is a much more human way
of putting men out of the world than
hanging, says a chair can be installed
with little expense and it would re
quire only a small change in the stat
utes. He has been collecting data
on the subject for some time, has his
bill formulated and believes it will b
adopted.
