ONE PER CENT ON $380,000
This Is the Loss Provided Bonds Draw
5 Per Cent Salem People Are
Tired of Waiting.
No New Capitol.
Olympia, Wash., April 2. A
cloud rests today against the $4,
000,000 bond issuo for tho capitol
building fund, when some legal
sharks raised tho constitutional
question and declare that the
state cannot contract a debt
greater than $400,000 unless the
matter is submitted to a vote of
the people. Tho bond issue was
to be equally divided between '
paying up old debts and paying
for the completion of the state
capitol buildings and temple of
justice.
"If it requires one day's time in
-which to prepare a transcript in an ord
inary lawsuit, and aftor submitting it
to the printer to receive it but a few
hours afterwards in due legal form,
why has it been necessary for the city
attorney to spend four months on the
transcript of the sewer bond issue, mo
tions and resolutions, when the work
could have been accomplished in one or
two days, at the longest, and the tax
payers of Salem saved one per cent up
on every dollar that iB required to pay
the contractors for the work performed
on the Bewers in South and North Sa
lem and on the Union street main there-fcyt"
This is a question that no ordinary
follower of Salom'e public affairs can
solve without a fooling that something
somewhere or somehow is wrong or
that an unnecessary stumbling block
lias either fallen or boon placed in the
path of tbd progress of the sower bond
issue vot'd npoi by tho pcoplo at the
last election, which should have boon
settled, the bonds issued and the money
already raid in by the assessed property
owners refunded long ago.
$1584 Gone.
Be far, there has been lost to the tax
jiayers of Salem not less than the sum
of $1584 due to the long delay in for
warding the bond issue transcript to
the Eastern legal men to approve or
disapprove and send back. The people
of Salem, at no small expense, voted to
Istue bonds for the payment of the sew-
rt constructed in the city in the past
two years, or thereabouts. The entire
amount aggregated some $380,000. Af
ter several prominent and responsible
liondiue companies Bhied from a propo
sition to take up the bonds, it was then
concluded by the city Council to sond
the entire matter to the eastern bond
lawyers for approval, with the hopes
that by so doing they would be declared
valid and good beyond doubt, and will
tj eventually taken up by some bonding
company in the east.
The eity attorney was then directed
about the 21st of December, last year.
to draw up a transcript of the action
taken by the council and the people.
and submit same to the parties in Bos
ton While these articles wer being
-perfected, the city of Salem has been
paying approximately 6 per oent upon
the entire amount of the warrants
sued and still outstanding for the pay
ment of the contractors who built the
sowers .which has been four months.
and the amount of interest at this per
eont will be s)7500. Considering con
servatively that it will require at loast
another month before the eastern at
torneys can return the transcript to the
officials, another expense will be added
to the amount already entailed by in
terest at the rate of 0 per cent or $1900,
totaling in all, for interest alone, $9500
which is to be paid by the city and the
taxpayers at largo.
Had the bonds been approved in an
expeditious manner ,the Interest on the
outstanding warrants would have
-amounted to only $7915, in view of tho
fact that the bonds to bo issued would
carry an interest of but 5 per cent; the
city thus being deprived of the one per
cent upon the entire transaction for
five months, of $1584.
Delay Inexplalnable.
According to well-known legal men in
Salem, it should require but a short
time comparatively to prepare tho tran
sript of the bond issue Not more than
a day should be necessary in which an
ordinary stenographer could complete
the typewriting, whilo the resolutions,
elec tion transcript and other minor de
tails can bo covered in a very short
time.
It is.contended that the preparation
of a transcript in a lawsuit on appeal
requires tho most careful study, and
Pvory viciri and phrase must be nceu
rnte in every detail. This work require
but a dj.y or so, when the copy may be
handed to tho printer for publication In
brief form. Tho bonding transcript lu
question covers no largo amount of de
tail, other than the eoivlng of tho elec
tion, resolutions passed by the council
nd the form in which the city author
ized the limning of the same.

Washington, April 2. The interstate

on its recont investigation into alleged
railroad pass grafting in Colorado. It
demanded the indictment of tho Colora

Amorican Fuel Company, tho Colorado-
Portland Comont Company and the
Great Western Sugar Company for ac
opting passes, and the Bio Grando and jia mcasllre
E
Colorado Southorn railroads for grout

The report allogos that judges, state
officials, legislators and county and
municipal officials in Colorado used
passes, adding: "Tho records show that
where passes were not voluntarily grant
ed, that public officials asked for them.
Even judges have not hesitated to pur
sue this course. The records disclose
personal requests for passes by judges,
accompanied by expressions of thoir
sense of obligation for such favors
granted before and after they went on
the bench. Railway witnesses frankly
explained that such passes were given
because of political services."

Berlin, April 2. Without precedent
in the history of Germany for a cen
tuiy, the Gorman people were asked to
make tho heaviest financial sacrifices
for the fatherland since 1813, when the
govornment today distributed in the
Reichstag the bill to add approximately
100,000 men to the army, calling for an
emergency tax of $202,000,000. This
demand is aside from an increase of
$50,000,000 to the estimated military
and naval expenditures of about $350,
000,000 for 1913, which will be asked,
making a military burdon of $050,000,-
000 to $700,000,000 for Germany.
Sentiment in the Reichstag is that
tho bill will be paused, though it may be
"trimmed" a littlo. This, however, is
unlikely. Tho "bill" is to be paid by
tho property ownors. Property undor
$5000 is to bo exompt.

The "spirit of 1813" whon the Prus

The general committee which has in

should have prompt response In tho way
of funds nocdod to carry out tho plans
adopted at Saturday's meeting, and
that there may not be any cause for
misunderstanding about the plan.
I wish to say to the peoplo of Salom
that the sending of half a car of prunes
and expending all money collected at
home for Oregon products was entire
ly at my suggestion.
I advancod the idea to Mayor Stocves
the same day he issued his call, and
again at tho mooting last Saturday, and
secured price on 2000 10-pound boxes of
our best stock, and the plan has mot
with gonoral approval.
The labol montioned in the press that
is to go on each box was also at my
suggestion, but arranged by Mr. Gilo
and Mr. Crawford.
The label is entirely proper. It sim
ply statos that thou ptjinet are donat
ed by the people of Salem, Oregon.
Then follows a formula how to stow
and serve, as they no doubt will go to
people who may not know what a prune
is Furthermore, the ' prunes aro the
gifts of the people of Salem, and thoy
should have the credit.
Dayton, Ohio, is my home town, and
I know the surroundings as well as I
kuow Salom, and I know that Salem
people could do nothing bettor than to
send a half carload of prunes, unless it
were a car and a half.
Of course, we will got advortisod by
sending these prunes, so will evory oth

sistance of these people, no matter what
they do, solot us close up this work, and
not hold back our help.

Astoria, Ore., April 2. Dr. Alfred
Kinney today roceived the following
message from his father, Dr. August
Kinney, who was sent by the Oregon
State Board of Health to investigate
the alleged tuberculosis cure brought to
this country from Germany by Dr. Fred
erick Franz Friedman:
"I will start home this week, as it
is uboIoss to remain longer. It will bo
six weeks before anything definite is
known in regard to tho results of the
treatment of the pulmonary tuberculosis
cases. So far in these the improvement
is but slight. In surgical tuberculosis
of the glands, bones and joints tho im
provement is fairly rapid. I bolieve this
to be duo to the intravenous method of
administration, and I think tuberculo
sis, as wo use it, if so given, would
show uniformly a quick movement. '
"I think Fricdmann is Bincoro, and
his vaccino is of great value in selected
casos, but from observation to date I
cannot seo tho advantago of his vac
cine over the onos wo aro using in pul
monary cases, for, so far as observed,
wo are getting bettor results
"I have arranged with Dr. Proctor,
in charge of the consumptive ward at
Bollevue hospital, to send me weekly
his daily observations mado up in rec
ords and charts of all tho patients treat
ed by Fricdmann in Bollovno that 1
have the records and charts of, previ
ous to receiving the Frledmann treat
ment. Those aro of patients residing
in Bellevue from one to sovoral months,
with sanitary conditions unchanged
Whatever the degree of improvement
noted in these cases will show that such
improvomont is due sololy to tho treat
ment. Upon these records and charts
of examinations of the lungs I will
make up my final report to tho Oregon
State Board of Hoalth, and it will bo
