Comment

Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS '
BERT E. Haney. or Portland, 1
mentioned as a prominent poa
elblllty lor aeoretary of the Interior
In the Roosevelt cabinet.
It would seem odd If an Oregon
man were chosen a member of the
President's cabinet almost as odd as
it Southern Oregon man were
named to some Important post In
the etato government.
Plans for canalizing the Willam
ette river from Oregon City 'to
Eugene are reported on adversely by
the division engineer of the war de
partment. The cost, which would be about
twenty million dollars, would be out
of proportion to the benefits, he
gays.
IP the government Is going out of
the business of developing rivers
because it can't afford the cost In
the present state of. its llnances, Its
objection to canalizing the Willam
ette river are Justifiable.
But If the government Is going on
developing OTHER rivers, and en
gaging in vast projects such as the
Tennessee one announced by President-elect
Roosevelt the other day.
then it ought to include canaliza
tion of the Willamette in its plans.
Canalization of the Willamette
river is a worthy project If the gov
ernment la going to continue to do
such things.
HERE to an interesting item In
the day's nows:
"Yakima, Wash. Near Tleton, west
of here, ranchers are resorting to
horse, and bobsleds for traveling
about, leaving their automobiles In
the garages. Gasoline costs money,
they say, while hay and feed are a
drug on the market."
Sound enough, at the present mo
ment, when money Is scarce and
hard to find and when farm pro
ducts are selling for little or noth
ing. When money Is scarce and
hard to get, we have to economize
in any way we can.
BUT don't get" the Idea that auto
mobiles will be left PERMAN
ENTLY In the garages anf that peo
ple will go back to horse and mule
transportation. Things like that
don't happen.
The automobile Is a great modern
development a necessity, under the
conditions of this age. and NOT a
useless extravagance.
The cars that are being left in
the garage now will be brought out
again and used, as they should be,
Just as soon as a turn comes In the
business world and conditions begin
to improve.
SPEAKING of automobiles, the
death rate from automobile Oc
cidents dropped 18 per cent last year
from the record of the year before
in the 88 cities of this country in
which records are kept.
Are people driving more carefully?
Possibly. In good times people in
cline toward recklessness and in bad
times they incline toward caution.
But it Is probable that the decrease
in the automobile , accident death
rate Is due more to the fact tha
fewer automobtlea are being operated
than to any material increase in cau
tion on the part of drivers.

a lot more than we do now. It is
International Week" and 1U pur

That Is a worthy purpose. War,
which Is the greatest calamity from
which this world suffers, arises

LIBEL DEFINITION
ALSO EXTORTION
A presentment, -comprising' two
questions one dealing with the Ore
gon law upon "criminal libel." and
the other with-"extortion," were pre
sented to Circuit Judge H. D. Norton,
shortly before noon today, by the
grand Jury, William T. Grieve, Pros
pect, foreman. ,
The court answered the two queries
confining his remarks to the legal
definitions, as contained In Oregon
statutes.
The court Informed the grand Jury
that both queries were amply ' ex
plained In the law. The court said
that the questions were well within
the statutory limits, and not in
"speculative fields."
The court advised the grand Jury
on terms such as "Injury," "threat
ened violence," "criminal libel, per
se." and "malice
Mrs. Hamilton Patton, secretary of
the grand Jury and Its lone woman
member, asked a number of ques
tions of the court on the legal angles
and covering the meaning of the
word "extortion." It was asked If
the word did not have a "double
meaning." The court replied that
under the law It had but one mean
ing, which did not lend Itself to
speculation.
Foreman Grieve, at the conclusion
of the session,' said the understand
ing of the grand jury had been made
clearer by the explanations.

BALEM. Feb. 8. (8pl) Yea, verily
It was a battle! A religious argu

Representative Frank Hilton or

JACKSON SOLONS
SPLIT ON BALLOT

Law Repeal To People's
Vote While Day Listed
Among Those Opposed.
SALEM, Feb. 9. (AP) Repeal of
the state constitutional amendment
on prohibition should be submitted
to the people by the legislature, tne
house today decreed by voting In fa
vor of the two Hall resolutions which
provide this submission. If passed
by the senate the matter would be
placed on the ballot at either a spec
ial election or the next general elec
tion. . , .
The vote on the resolutions fol
lowed more than an hour's debate
In which the general subject of pro
hibition was argued. Roll call on
the resolutions was demanded, re
sulting In a vote of 38 to 23 In favor.
How They voted
Voting for the. repeal resolution:
Allen, Beckman, Best, Chrlsman,
Dammasch, Dickson, Duerst, Eckley.

a companion measure and referring
to a sub-section of the constitution
on the same matter, passed with
practically the same vote, Represen
tative. Scott voting "aye" instesd of
"no" as on the previous vote.
Nothing New In Debate.
Representative Dean Walker of Polk
county ended the prohibition debate
when he moved for the previous ques
tion. -"No one here can say anything
new on the question and we should
vote on the resolution and not en
gage In an emotional rebate upon
prohibition." he declared.
History of prohibition in Oregon
was pictured by Representative John
H. Hall, author of the resolutions,
when the law was approved through
the Initiation In 1914 and effective
after January 1, 1916, at which time
the prohibition majority In the state
was 16 per cent, with only two "wet"
counties Clatsop and Multnomah. In
1916 when the Anderson law went In
to effect, the enforcement act, the
"dry" element polled 114,932 votes
against 109,671 for the "wets." A
prohibition majority of only two per
cent of the entire vost cast with six
"wet" counties Clackamas. Clatsop,
Lake, Multnomah, Wasco and Wash
ington, he said.
Its deliberations.
The grand Jury gave no hint as to
when It would file a return. Its
present session started last Monday.
According to reports, 1. A. Banks of
this city, and Attorney M. O. Wilkin,
have testified before the grand Jury
this week.
the Portland physician declared that
the examination, demanded under
the Basic Science bill, were not for
the protection of the doctors, but
for the protection of the people.
"There are examining boards and
examining boards.' he said. "The
one proposed by this bill Is not made
up of medical men, but of unblssed
educators, who merely require that
the applicant be reasonably well
grounded In the basic sciences.
"Nor does the bill create a new
board. It merely utilises one already
existing the board of higher educa
tion." After this came those who spouted
and those who fumed; those who
waxed humorous, and those who dealt
In personalities. There were the men
patterned along medicinal or drugless
biases who jumped up and sputter
ed incoherently; or else sat tight,
gripped their chain and grew red
in the face.

Banwell Experienced
A. H, Banwell, who will assume tVc
duties of the office upon Baker's
departure, has had 13 years experi
ence In commercial organization
work, having come to Medford from
Tacoma, Wash., where he was pub
licity manager of the Tacoma cham
ber of commerce for several years.
Prior to that time he was manager
of the Tacoma Tourist Information
Bureau, and still earlier manager of
the Manufacturers' Association of
Washington.
During his time In Medford, Ban
well was manager of the Northern
California-Southern Oregon Develop
ment association, an organisation de
signed for the promotion of the
Crescent City harbor project, and was
successful In obtaining the first
definite recommendation for harbor
Imp rove mnt there by the board of
army engineers. Political conditions
In Washington, however, precluded
the possibility of any appropriation
for Improvement work at that time,
and the project was temporarily
abandoned. Since that time, Mr. Ban
well has been engaged In the Insur
ance business In Medford.
Banwell's experience In commer
cial organization work fits him ad
mirably for the position which he
will assume, according to W. 3. Bol
ter, chamber president, and Che di
rectorate feels Itself fortunate in se
curing the services of so experienced
and capable executive.
Mr. Banwell served with the New
Zealand Expeditionary Forces In the
Egyptian war of 1914 and the Balkan
war of 1916.
