VISITS RELATIVES
SALEM, Jan. 23. Members of the
legislature have Indicated that there
vill be some opposition to the pass
ago of Senator Orton's measure cre
ating a department of state police, on
the grounds of unwarranted expense.
Tho bill is expected to find support
from many legislators from the fact
that it is in line with a recommenda
tion of Governor Wlthycombe.
The Orton bill calls tor an appro
priation of $60,000 ,or as much of
that amount as appears to be neces"'
baiy, to put the department in opera'
tion. Further it calls for a superin
tendent at a salary of $3,000 per
year, u deputy superintendent at $2,-
400 and twelve pollcce at salaries of
$1,500 each a total of $23,400 au
uually In salaries.
One of the purposes for which the
police would be created, as set forth
in tliu bill, Is to aid In enforcing the
prohibition law. Tho argument will
bo mado against this on tho ground
that nation wide prohibition soon will
bo established, making a state police
organization unnecssary for enforce
ment of anti-liquor laws.

The Danish minister to Russia, Har

the futility of trying to conduct any

He read an article written by one
of tho soviet chiefs declaring that
Premier Lloyd Ocorge and President
Wilson were too conservative and
'reactionary for the Soviets to deal
with. He also gave exact data on the
bolshevik forces, showing that they
dia not exceed 90,0X10 armed raw.
the remainder being without 'irmsor
ammunition, clothing or shoes,. He
declared also that the red army was
'largely recruited from the famished
