Celebrating yesterday his
twentieth iiimiveijsary us kins
of England and emperor of
India, King George went to the
races for the first time since
Ins' serious illness.
Hiickinsiham palace and the
government . buildings were
decorated with flags. His sub
jects rejoiced.
lie has been a good king,
aware that the business of a
British ruler is to listen to his
ministers, chosen by the peo
ple, and say "ameu" when
they have spoken.
Looking back over twenty
Win, CUnvrfl. must feel
Vjjratefnl for the firmness of
rfis throne, one of few, in
volved in the world war, that
survived it.
If he looks ahead India prob
ably worries him.
In the reign of Queen Vic
toria, a keen man whose an
cestors came from Asia, Dis
raeli, made the queen of those
foggy western islands empress
of India. j
It would be interesting if a
shrunken, half starved uscetic j
Hindu, sitting in a British,
prison in India, should take 1
the imperial crown from the
head of King George.
Gandhi, comfortable in his
British jail, sends polite thanks j
V the kind treatment. Mean
while his followers, freed from
his gentle advice and reniark
ihlo control, worry the British.
The army is iu control of
India. European civilians car
ry weapons to protect them,
selves. Three hundred million
Asiatics, even water-drinking,
vegetarian, naturally peaceful
Asiatics, would not be easily
controlled with patriotic ex
citement moving them.
E. C. Jameson, New York
financier, tells 'the senate lie
contributed .93,000 to help
beat Alfred E. Smith in Vir
ginia. ,
I Sixty-five thousand, three
nimlred dollars of the money
ne sent to be spent by Uisiiop
Cannon, who undoubtedly dis
persed the funds iu accordance..
with highest political ethics.
' Mr. Jameson spent nearly
$200,000, altogether, in his
"i:ht against Smith, who, nev
ertheless, Kot 15,000,000 votes,
7,000,000 more than any other
Democrat ever got.

WESTERN TITLE
Winne and Dougherty Given
Unanimous Decision Over
Corvallis State Finals
On May 17.
George AVinne and William
DouKherty last nisht became th?
high school debate champions of
western Oregon by defeating- the
Corvallis team, Miss Bessie Price
and Allss Alison Cromish, through
a 3 to 0 decision. .Med ford argued
the affirmative of the cabinet forra
of government for Oregon while
the negative was upheld by the
Corvallis team. The debate was
held in the Presbyterian church.
The Corvallis girls used a chart
in their arguments, which listed
six organic elements of a Btnte
administrative reorganization, five
of which chey defied the- affirma
tive to break down. These points
were directly dealt with by young
Dougherty.
The -clever remarks of Miss
Cromish kept the Inrge audience
in a jovial mood while arguing
for the negative. Her well direct
ed argument and unusual compari
sons brought applause, from the
crowd.
Rebuttal speeches were given by
Winne and Miss Cromish. at which
time comments were made com par
ing the teams to patchwork quilts
and other objects.
Itof ut c Argument.
Miss Cromish stated that If Ore
gon went Into the cabinet form of
government without gradual
change she would come out more
dead than nllvo. Winne refuted
this argument In his rebuttal by
using Illinois as an example, that
"Illinois has come out alive and
in good health."
C. T. Baker was chairman of
the debate, with Bob Getz of 'or
vallla and Kdward Reames of Med
ford as timekeepers. The judges
were Victor Morris, .1. K. Hemp
stead and Howard Taylor of the
University of Oregon. Joe Holo
day coached the Corvallis team and
Halph A. Bailey the Medford boys.
The local team will meet Mc
Loughlin Union high school da
haters in Kugene, May 17, for the

LUMBERMEN OF WHITES KIDNAP
COAST DEMAND BROWN TOILERS
TARIFF ACTION
Urge Congressmen to De
feat Duty Measure Unless
Protection for Timber Is
Incorporated.
W ASH TNC. TO N , Ma y 7 . &)
The senate today returned tho
tariff bill to conference with the
house.
Xo action was taken on the par
tial agreement of the committee
which conferred on differences be
tween the two congress lona I
branches.
PORTLAND, Ore., Muy 7. (iP)
Congressional delegations of Ore
gon, Washington und Montana to
day received a message signed by
thirty-eight Pacific northwest log
ging and lumber firms demanding
that they join in accomplishing the
defeat of the tariff meusure If
items for the protection of the
lumber industry uro not restored
to the bill.
The message, which followed the
defeat of duties on lumber and
shingles In the house of represen
tatives, stated that the lumbermen
regarded tho present status of the
tariff controversy as conclusive
evidence that there was a "total
disregard of western interests by
representatives in congress from
the east."
Another section of the lengthy
telegram, sent last night after u
conference between representatives
of the thirty-eight concerns, stated
that the lumber tariff "is being
used as a political football."
In still another section the tele
gram stated: "On account of the
Russian and Canadian lumbermen
using the United States for their
dumping ground for surplus pro
ducts, there Is now a 2b per cent
unemployment in this industry and
unless there Is early relief this
unemployment may be increased
to fit) per cent."
The lumbermen, who said the
burden of this would be laid di
rectly at the door of the represen
tatives In congress, contested the
idea that the northwest senators
and representatives should remain
regular in supporting a tariff
which is said to have failed to
provide for the prosperity of "the
basic industry of tho Pacific north
west." 4
