Taft Would
Arbitrate
Canal Tolls
UNITED I'ltESS LEASED WIKB.
New York, Jan. 4. Declaration that
he favored arbitrating with Great Bri
tain tho question of Panama tolls was
voiced by President Taft here this af
ternoon In an address before the In
ternational peac e forum.
"I would bo ashamed," Taft said,
"not to be willing to arbitrate any
question with England. There need
be no public worry as we hope to ar
bitrate tho toll question before any
term of odlco expires."
The president voiced a'so a blrter
denunciation of the senate for defeat
ing tho peace treaties recommended
by him.
Insurance Troubles,
Following the action of Judge Gal
loway In granting a writ of mandamus
oidcring State Insurance Commission
er Ferguson to Issue a license to the
Union Pacific Life Insurance Co., of
Fortland, the attorney-general today
filed an appeal of the case in the nu
prenie court.
The Insurance commission also to
day re-filed In the supreme court the
case of the American Life & Accident
Insurance Co., against the commis
Blcn. The insurance company filed a
motion of dismissal yesterday and at
the same time brought a new suit in
me circuit court enjoining the com
missloner from refusing to grant them
a license to do business In Oregon.
Chumlicrlnln U In Line.
Washington, Jan. 4. The death of
Senator Davis, of Arkansas, probably
means that Senator Chamberlain will
become chairman of the public lands
committee when the Democrats reor
ganize the next senate. With Senator
Pavls gone, Senator Newlands alone
outranks Senator Chamberlain on this
committee and it is now generally be
lieved that Newlands will tnke the
chairmanship of tho Interstate com
merce committee, for which he is In
line, relinquishing his claim on pub
lic lands.
This will give Senator Chamberlain
a clear field and he probably will tnke
this chairmanship In preference to
ethers to which he may bo eligible,
notably military alTalrs, agricultural
or Irrigation.

Winter Quarters,
Where's the crnwllng caterpillar?
Sound asleep In hla cocoon.
Whero's the heo bo bright nnd busy?
Dreaming In the hive of June.
Where's t lie snail, and Where's the turtle?
Safely burled In tho ground.
Where's the woodehiick? Where's the
rabbit ?
In their burrows they nro found.
Where's the thrush, and Where's the rob
In? Singing 'neath the southern sky.
Where's the bear, and whero's the squir
rel? In their hollow tree they lie.
Whero's the ant, that careful worker?
In her underground nbode.
Where's the clghty-eyed spinning spider?
In a crevice snugly utowed.
Where's the bat thnt rnnged at midnight!
Ite Is In his winter's sleep
In his cave he hangs head downward,
And he never takes a peep.
These and ninny other creatures
Hide or dniWKe tho whiter through.
But when spring has once nwnkened
They are up and stirring too.
