Journal of Saturday evening "Open Forum'? regarding the work men's compensation law as applied to the farmer, I have been a student of this law for some time and have been looking for some one to open a discus sion along these lines in order that we all may get a little more light on the subject which is becoming more import ant every day. Our friend speaks from the stand point of the farmer I would like to speok from the standpoint of the small builder or contractor, the one who has to bid on the small huildintr contracts CITIES FIGHTING TO St Louis Has the Lead Com mittee Will Indorse Wilson, But Not Marshall Washington, Dec. 7.

Marion County to Have Poultry Show The Marion County Poultry show to be held in Sulcm four days begiuuing January 11, promises to be the biggest show of its kind ever hold in the coun ty, according to Walter H. Smith, sec retary of the association. Bird fanciers from Yamhill and Poll, counties promise to be on hand with their beBt stock. ClackumaB county has always furnished its share of birds and rhe poultry men of that county have al ways been boosters for the shows held iu this county. The spirit of co-operation is nlso being shown by Linn coun ty, and taking everything into con sideration, Mr. Smith thinks Sulera will have a poultry show better in every respect than those of former years. Ap plication for entry blanks are being re ceived by expert bird men in all those counties. Judge B. F. Kecncy, of Eugene, has been secured to judge tho birds. Just as an extra inducement the cash prizes are mue larger than in former yearB. As the poultry association will rn.-oivn cash assistance from the Salem Coin. mercinl club, the business men will not be called on to contribute articles of merchandise as special premiums, al though of course, such contributions will be cheerfully received by the man agement.

TATT ACCUSING HAERIBOtT ' New .Haven, Conn., Dec. 7. Continu ing his controversy over democratic rulo in the. Philippines, former Presi dent Taft was on record today as ac cusing Governor General Harrison of administering affairs in partisan fash ion, and in a manner demoralizing is land affairs. of losing the contract. We all must agree that there are some excellent points in this law nn this fact is brought to our notice every I day by the commissioners as it is to mcir interest to Keep me goou (neiore the public and say nothing about the many weak points that' naturally nriso in every new administration of our many laws, however it appears to the writer that with the present method of administration it is the man who is listed as. a builder, who advertises the fact and who uses any publicity at all in his business that pays the insurance and the man who says nothing and keeps quiet that gots off easy, if the commission hnvo not plnced them on their original list of employers of haz ardous labor, and if through ignorance, neglect, or any cause., they fail to re port aud if they go ahead and finish the contract without accident and no notice is taken of the fact thnt this has been done, is it not you and I who have been contributing Tegulnrly to the fund, tho ones who are paying for hit' insurance I Under the law they become automatically protected and should an accident happen thoy are entitled to just as much protection ns the man who has boen making regular payments on his payroll be it lnrge or small, nn' in this day of keon competition tho man who figures on the contract and knows there is a chance to bent the in surance fund is the man who usually gots the job. During the first part of the year the writer had occasion to do several sin contracts in the southern part of th' state. About every 60 or 90 days a young man representing the commission would appear on the scono and inspect the time books, pay roll or whatever record tho contractors would have of work finished or in the process of con struction, and would look up all new work, in fact keep as good a check on the building operations as possible, but I understand that even that hnB been discontinued and that the commis sion could not nfford to keep up this extra expense. In my opinion this was one of the most vnluablo parts of tho organization and if thero wero more of them tho commission would be nblo to keep closer track on tho small con tractor who is dodging the law. Another great drnwbnck with the present manner of collections is the manner of "coaxing" the remittances from the people that have boon so un fortunate as to have been numbered on the original list as coming under the head of employers of labor under a hazard. I have known cases where the inrty in question has not employed lelp for years and yet has received a notice under the attorney general's form stating that ho is required to pny the commission the sum of twenty-five dollars, and I know of cases where this amount has actually been paid er ' where the commission have written back that the amount will be credited to his account should he nt any future time engngo in this occupation. Of course we all realize that the law is in its crude form and thnt no doubt in time it will ad iust Itself to tho con ditions of this state, but I fi lieve thnt in order to make it a success in Oregon that some system will have to be worked out whereby a closer rheck will be kept on construction work throughout tho state and where report will Lave to be undo tho comminsion before protection will be allowed on a contrnot or building and in caso the same is not applied for and no report has been received by the nec.l'' mission the BartT onnrttt.no will ha de prived of all protection, of course some of you will say that the expense of Xeeplrg a representative on the ground the dark; and only little was heard from San Francisco boosters. All dele gations nevertheless were rooting hard though quietly. June 12 or 19 seem ed the likely date for the convention. That the committee will decide on renoniination of President Wilson by ncclamation was unquestioned. The op position to Vice-President Marshall as his running mate, however, seemed crystallized into a definite plan. Hearing for suffrage and anti-suffrage delegations, contesting delegations for convention city, aud others prom ised to delay the "balloting for the city. Early indications pointed to settle ment of the fight for seating of an Or egon delegate by the selection of H. M. Easterly against Will R. King. Holla Wells, of St. Louis, consented to re main treasurer until tho convention convenes. Though offering $100,000 for the convention and though Senator Phelan and others, put up a valiant fight for it, San Francisco had the argument of distance from centers of population to overcome. St. Louis argued that, with hotel, railroad, and wire facilities equal to 'Chicago's. St. Louis had the ad vantage of possessing a better conven tion hall. Moreover, the St.' Louis delegation argued that thero would be a better chance of making Missouri democratic if the convention went to St. Louis, WIUAMETTE NOTES The Ronior-Sophomore basketball game yesterday resulted in a victory for tho seniors of 20-3. The game was fast and exciting and showed good team work on both sides. This is the second game the seniors have played in the series and huvo won both.

"Tho House of the Deud." "Tho Brothers Kimimnzov. " "Crime and Punishment." "Tho Idiot." "Tho Possessed." TIicbo Russian dramas nro full of tho spirit of an awakening people who are just beginning to realize that they want aud desire liberty, freedom and a chance for individual development. ANOTHER MUNITIONS FIRE St. CathermcB, Ont.,'Dcc. 7. A mys terious fire today destroyed tho nilU and storehouse of tho Mnplu Leaf Mill ing company engnged on contracts for the allies. Tho loss was upwards of $300,000. Homer Davenport Monument Fund Has Not Been Increased Several Sjlverton people have asked the Capital Journal recently regarding the status of the Homer Davenport monument fund. Ex-Governor West, who is treasurer of this fund, was communicated with and his reply wbb as follows: - "A small amount of money was col lected by Phil Botes and others and turned over to me ns treasurer. It is on deposit in Ladd & Bush's bank in the name of "Homer Davenport Monu ment Fund." If you will call at the bank, using this letter as your author ity, you can learn as to tho amount in the fund." At the Ladd & Bush bank it was learned that there was $57 in the fund referred to by the former governor and that seems to be tho total amount raised. Nothing soems to have been done to promote the movement since it was started with .the initial subscriptions as made. . t NEW TODAY ; l CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING BATES. Rate cer word Won- t.-i..
