M NARY TELEGRAM HALTS ANTI
JAP BILL; CARTER EXPECTED TO
FIGHT REAPPORTIONMENT BILL
SALEM, Ore., Fob. 1C (Special)
Senator C. M. Thomas of Jackson
county, several days ago, Introduced
nn anti-Japanese bill the basic princi
ples of which provide that no land
shall be sold or leased to aliens. There
Is also the same character of a bill
which has passed tbe house.
Senator Thomas has spoken before
several civic bodies upon this ques
tion, and the sentiment of each of
theBe bodies has been favorable to his
bill. After the Introduction of the bill,
it was discovered that there would be
a very bitter fiKht made against It, the
opposition basing its argument upon
(he proposition that the enactment of
any law at this time In Oregon would
drive Japanese trade to Seattle. It
Booms that a Japanese steamship com
pany has recently organized, and will
Boon put on a line between Portland
and the orient. This means much to
Portland, commercially, and the fi
nancial Interests of Portland are per
fectly willing to sacrifice southern
Oregon, or any other section of tho
Btate, provided that Portland can gain
commercially. It Is tho same old con
test between commercialism and tho
rights of the people. A different line
up was developing, when out of a clear
sky came the telegram from Sonator
McNary.
On account of this telegram, tho sen
timent In the sonuto Is apparently
crystallzlng against nny Japanese leg
islation, and In conversation with Son
ator Thomas thin morning he express
ed the thought that In his opinion tho
telegram has killed his bill at this ses
sion. However,. be Intends to press his
bill to a vote. '
Straight Ballot Again
There are several very Important
matters still before the session. The
straight ballot bill, which was defeat
ed by the governor, Is in the hands of
the committee. It takes two-thirds vote
to pass It. The reason It has not been
brought out and voted upon is, that
the forces that hope to override the
governor's veto, have not been able to
Bet the nocessury two-thirds vote. It
is understood that they have been ublo
to pledge nineteen votes. It takes
twenty to pass the senate, or rather,
two-tbirdB of those present. The bill
is being held back, with tho hope that
opposition senators will either leave
the senate chamber, or can bo
bludgeoned into voting for It. Senator
Thomas opposed this bill last session
and voted against it.
Bean Holds Power
Another measure Is tho re-apportionment
measure. A committee was ap
pointed at the beginning of tho session
to make re-npportlonmont of tho slate.
It was then understood that Oregon
would get another congressman. Tho
bill In congress providing for the oxtrn
congressman has been defeated so that
that question has been eliminated.
However, eastern Oregon Is pulling all
Its wires to put through tho re appor
tionment, and take several senators
and representatives for hersolf. Thoy
perhaps will be able to do this, but oat
without the aid of Speaker Iienn. If
Speaker Uean Is willing to trade off
his own section, and give It to eastern
Oregon, which It Is generally under
stood he is willing to do, then eastern
Oregon will make the gain. Otherwise
she will fall. It has been notlceeablo
all session that Speaker Bean has been
playing tho eastern Oregon game
Representative Carter is on tho re
apportionment, committee. The com
mittee bus been meeting and has pre
pared this bill, for re-apportionment.
and is ready to report when the proper
time arrives, and Representative
Carter has not even been consulted. It
places Mr. Carter In a splendid pout
tlon to lead the fight against the re
apportionment when It reaches the
floor of the house, and It would appear
to an observer that with Mr. Carter's
opposition, based upon tho most dls
courteous treatment outlined above,
that sufficient votes can be procured
in the house to defeut the ro-apportion-
ineut.
The Idea Is to hold tho reapportion
ment bill until the closing hours of tho
session, and then jam it through. Sen
ator Thomas has Introduced a resolu
tion to prevent this and demanding
that the committee is forced to report.
This will bring the contest on the floor
of the somite before the proponents of
It desire It to come. The bill takes
away from Jackson county Its joint
representative and also puts Josephine
and Jackson county into one senatorial
district. Under this plan, Josephine
would hnve tno sonator for two years,
nnsmuch as Senator Smith Is a hold
over, but after that period, would as
sure Juckson comity the senator nt all
times, inasmuch as Jackson county has
three times as many votes as Jose
phine county.
Power Interests Aroused
Another contest will bo tho hydro
electric bill of Senator Joseph. It is
understood that power companies of
tho stnte had a moetlng recently In
Portland, nnd are tremendously arous
ed over this mutter. It Is expected they
will bo hero In full force to take up the
fight against It.
The teachers tenure has to date been
the big contest of the session. It re
sulted in a favorablo vote to the teach
ers on Saturday. A motion to recon
sider will probnbly be made Monday,
as Senator Moser who led the forces
against It, seems to take his defeat as
a personnl defeat. He appears exceed
ingly chagrined, nnd feels It an Injury
to his political prestige. It Is the opin
ion of your observer that Senator
Moscr's leadership In the sennto, nnd
his political prestige in tho state Is
gone.
CONCORDIA, Kas., Feb. 17. Mrs

Back hurt you? Can't straighten

schos and twinges? Now listen!
That's lumbago, Bciatica or maybe
from a strain, and you'll get blessed
relief the moment you rub your back
with soothing, penetrating "St. Jacobs
Oil." Nothing else takes out sore
r.ess, lameness and stiffness so quickly.
Jfou simply rub it on and out comes
tho pain. It is perfectly harmless and
doesn't burn or discolor tho skin.
Limber up I Don't suffer I Got a
small trial bottlo from any drug store,
and after using it just once, you'll
forget that you ever had backache,
lumbago or sciatica, because your back
will never hurt or cause any moro
misery. 'It never disappoints and has
been recommended for CO years.

Arnold R. Carol, held in the
county jail for grand jury action on
the charge of stealing a Buick auto
from tbe Med ford Auto company en
tered the seventh day of his hunger
etrlke this morning, and according
to Sheriff Terrill has gone on a "si
lent Btrlke," refusing to talk to any
one. Sheriff Terrill says Carol does
not look like he was missing any
meals, but knows of three that he
skipped. (His prison mates say
that he Is living up to the precepts
of his vow: "not to eat until he Is
out of jail."
According to the authorities, Carol
started his "hunger strike" immedi
ately after the papers published the
story that a Los Angeles corn doc
tor was using the same scheme. The
sheriff urges Carol to eat, but does
not Insist, upon the grounds that he
can stand it as long as Carol can.
BILL FIGHT IS
PLAN AND HOVE
BUY AND BUILD
On February 12, 1921, a,, fellow in
the Saturday evening Post says that
"Prices have never been right within
my recollection!". And he's a banker
Been one, foi; forty years. Then he
tells about, wheat at J1.C0 a bushel.
He also refers to, the fact, .that iri '9C
whea,t sold fort CO cents. Continuing,
be Bays that . teu years ago wheat got
up to ,ouly, a dollar ft. bushel, and the
whole country . roared' about . rising
prices and. . :
The high cost of living.
Prices are never right!
in the Sunday Oregonian the Port
land bankers come to the conclusion
that there will not be a business crisis!
Well, hero In Mod ford we came to
that conclusion and published' It in the
Mall Tribune a month ago, ' when
money commenced to flow freely into
New York from the interior banks.
Important work Is impending every
where.
Medford and Jackson county have
their full Bhare.
Let's forget the fearsome stuff.
Let's remomber how sound and for
tunate we are.
Let's project, buy, build, and go
ahead!
Tho Farmers and Fruitgrowers Bank
says that If the community will do this,
In thirty days we will add activity to
our prosperity, and everybody will be
happy, prosperous and contented.
SALEM, Feb. 16. The display of a
photograph in the rotunda of the state
house showing Governor Olcott hand
ing Senator Thomas a pen Is calling
to the attention of the member (if the
legislature the fact that the peace
treaty over the hoary Rogue river Huh
fight has finally been officially signed.
A few days since, Kcpi'i-sentatlvc
Sheldon was chatting with Governor
Olcott and the governor reminded
him that he was Just about lo sign
the Rogue river fish bill whlcn bore
Mr. Sheldon's name and asked if he
would care to have the pen with
which It was signed. Mr. Sheldon
suggested that the offer should he
made to Mr. Thomas in recognition
of his long fight for the measure, and
tho governor soon thereafter called
Senator Thomas in and presented him
with tho pen with which the bill was
signed. The newspaper boys thought
enough of the event to have the .cere
mony performed in due state witli the
principal attendant being a photog
rapher. -
The older members of tho legisla
ture are heaving a sigh of genuine re
lief in view of the fact that this long-
drawn-out contest seems to have been
satisfactorily adjusted and removed
as one of the constantly recurring ir-
rltunts at legislative sessions.
PARIS At startling increase in the
number of deaths of children in Kudu
pest InUhe past year. is shown by of
ficial reports of tho Budapest health
department received -here.
The figures of 19t4 which showed
that the number of births exceeded
tjio deaths by 208,000 were approxi
mately revei-Bed in 1920. Forty-five
per cent of the deaths were of chil
dren under seven years old, while 37
per cent were of children from the
homes of the poorest people.
'This proves," the health depart
ment states, "that infant mortality
in Hungary is due chiefly to miser
able conditions In general and particu
larly to underfeeding.

FOUR DOCTORS
GAVE HER OP
Through a Neighbor' Advice This
Woman Was Restored to Health
by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Kenosha, Wis. "I suffered with a
female trouble and at last was in bed
for six weeks witn
what the doctors
called inflammation
of the bowels. Four
of them said I could
not live. A neighbor
told me to use Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound and
it helped me from
the start. When the
doctor came I told
him what I had
taken and he said.
Throw ray medicine away and keep on
with the Pinkham medicine.' I did and
it cured me. If more women would
take your medicine they would not
suffer so. I have recommended the
Vegetable Compound to lots of people
and they have Deen satisfied." Mrs.
Mary Rhapstock, 2701 Wisconsin St.,
Kenosha, Wisconsin.
When a woman is beset with such
symptoms as irregularities, inflamma
tion, ulceration, a displacement, back
ache, headaches, bearing-down pains,
nervousness or the "blues" she should
treat the cause of such conditions by
taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, the standard remedy for
woman's ills.

the cruft, launched into tha stream ill
search of some sign of habitation.
Throughout Thursday night he pi
loted tho uncertain craft down the
river, but without seeing any signs of
a settlement.
All day' Friday the thoroughly ex
hausted aviator kept watch as his
raft rode the river. Then at dusk, Ire
sighted a shack on a hillside.
Guiding the craft to tbe bank, Pear
son Jumped to tbe land, letting his
raft float away. But he found the
shack untenanted.
- Dried beans, bacon and hard bread
were stored in a cupboard. The half
famished airman found matches on
a shelf, gathered a few sprigs of grass
and splinters of mesquito brush nnd
built a fire over which he prepared a
meal. His hunger appeased, he re
moved the wet uniform, torn to rags
by brush along the stream which
caught at his clothing as if to stay
his journey, and slept.
The next day after another meal,
Pearson began to explore the sur
rounding country. At nightfall he
had found no means of help.
Sheep Herders Arrive.
Late Sunday afternoon sheep herd
era, who sometimes used the shack,
returned. They Informed Pearson
that ho was 70 miTes southwest of
Sanderson and 'directed him Jo the
nearest ranch house, many miles
away.
Pearson started Monday morning
to walk to tho ranch house. ' Arriv
ing there, he found no one'at home.
He remninod until Tuesday, when the
ranchers returned. Horses were ob
tained and the trip to Sanderson
started. J. E. Murrah. a ranchman,
guiding the party, brought Pearson
into Sanderson at nine o'clock last
night. The aviator suffered little
from his experience and is physically
fit to try the trans-continental trip.
Whether he will attempt the flisia
has not been decided.
His plane lies in a dangerous coun
try. It will probably have to be con
veyed to Sanderson by boat down the
Rio Grande or by automobile truck.
Pearson could not tell its exact location.
