IK CAPTUR E it HUGH CONSU L PROTECTED BY ITALY ItOMK, IHu 12, An incident of connidqrnble gravity has occurred at Jlodvidn, a M-aport of Arabia, on tlio Itod son, 100 miles northwet of tochn. It appears irom advices that hqvo been received here that the U'urks, on learning that 0. A. Hicli anlson, the British consul, was stilt in tenvn, tried to enter his house to nrrest him. Consul Richardson escaped to the. lieijhboritij Italian consulate, which jilneo the Turks besieged in spite of the fact that the Italian consul, Sig- nor Cecehi, a son of the well-known explorer, immediately came to the dc i'emo of his colleague. Kichnrdson wan taken prisoner and dragged forc ibly to a boat, which then left for an unknown destination. Ah British subjects iu Turkey are under American protection, the American embassy at Constantinople, it is stated, has been asked for infor mutton rcgnnlinir the reiwrtcU vio lence ngninht n British subject, while Italy is inquiring about the alleged violation of her consulate. ' STATE DEVELOPMENT WORK TPirE exeUraion of the state into veal development work that nmlces for a greater Oregon, is confined to two projects reclamation work, of which the Tnmalo' project is the sole example, and mad work, consisting of eo-oper-. ation with counties by the state highway commission. Of all the millions collected by taxation, these are the sole expenditures that make for development. All other, expenditures arc for administration and operation of state' government, tor law entorcement. lor educational, eleemosynary, criminal and insane institutions none to build Up Oregon. The sole reclamation Work done by the state is the com pletion of tlie 'J'uninlo project at a cost of $100,000. This, with the exception of the diversion of the course of a small mountain stream, upon "which work is delayed by snow, is fully completed. For its investment, the state 'will have water rights for 17.46-.1 acres to sell, and the venture will return a" profit to the tax-Pavel's, as will be shown by the following statement: SOL'llCK op ixcemi: 17,404 acres at $40.00 , .

Profit for Ihe state X S131.79S.5S This action of the kfate in going to the relief of central Oregon settlers by colripleting the development project aroused strong opposition from those who think it no part of the state's duty to assist in its upbuilding. Croakers and calamity howlers like the Portland Oregonian pre dicted dire failure. Said flic, latter editorially March 312, 19W : The state of Oregon has appropriated $450,000 to comiileto the Colum bia Southern Irrigation project, in Contral Orexon. Tho appropriation was mado by the legislature largely through the Importunities of Governor West. to whoso ready sympathies the plight of the settlers had mado a strong appeal and who responded by causing the state's mouey to be put behind them. Xow we hear that $450,000 will not be nearly enough and cither the Government Reclamation Service will havo to co-operate with the state, or more money must be forthcoming from succeeding legislatures. It may be, however, that $450,000 Is ample. We hope. so. Governor Vst will do well to abandon, sonic of his glittering generaliza tions about promoting the public welfare for a careful consideration of the new relationship of tho state to the Columbia southern project, it will re qulro painstaking, methodical and skilful management to conserve this great fund for the benefit alike of state and tho settlers. It is a big Job for a governor or anybody. Hard sense, hard work, not dreams, aro now required. This statement is best answered by the figures given above. ' The state's constructive work in road building is con fined to the expenditure of a 'quarter-mill tax, which raises approximately $240,000. This amount is expended under the approval of the state highway board, consisting of gov ernor, secretory of state and state treasurer, upon recom- im-juuiiiuii 01 wic uuu uijjuvwrv vugiuuvv. at mis ijwii divided tin's year between the counties voting bond issues' lor highway work Jackson, Clatsop, Columbia and TTood River. The quarter-mill levy is altogether too small to bring results. How small it is is shown by comparison with the. levy for the maintenance ot the Oregon Agricultural col lege and state university seven-tenths of a mill, or nearly three times as much Tor higher education as for construc tive development work. Now that the nation generally is experiencing hard times financially, due principally to the European war, and idle men abound, it is the duty of the state to provide occu pation, and this can best be done by development work, such as 'highway construction. , "When times arc flush and opportunities for work abound on every hand, is the time to curtail public work, but when it is necessary to either establish a bread line or provide work, is the tinle to use sta'fe credit and state hinds for development work. ' It will be far better for the state to cut out a great lnimy frills and use the money so expended in building highways that open up and permanently benefit the commonwealth. It is to be hoped that -whatever, tjie legislature may do, it. will not seek to economize at the expense of development. HEIR 10 MILLIONS DEAD GOTHAM NKW YOKK, Dec. 12.

SOLVENT LEND A HELPING HAND THE MAUL TIUnUXE wishes to commend the good work being done locally by the Associated Charities jn investigating and relieving deserving cases of poVorty and illness. Tiierp arc so many shiftless and worthless -who are not deserving of relief, but' who malcc a practice of sponging on the community, that there is need of investigation Jest the relief be wasted. Hut there exist some cases of real suffering that deserve alleviation. The bureau is llot rcceivii ing the assistance and support it merits, either hi clothing, supplies or cash. t needs .them all, ai'id every one can reft assured that the Vejiof work will be wqll doile. EveiUhe churches have not lent much of a helping hand in this needed effort ,to provide help. Practically every charity that exists in Portland makes a business of soliciting aid of the state. An unonding stream of solicitors is constantly hogging for aid for Port land's organized charities. As a result, most of the con tributions go to pay traveling and living expenses of the solicitors. In return, no assistance is rendered the bal ance of the state. . The Associated Charities is a local institution. It is managed, by Dr. T. Lawrence IIill,fwho is donatjpghjs time and energy to the good work. It deserves all you can spare for charity, and in aiding it you aro aiding humanity.
