Moser today admitted serious defects In the present legislative system of this state in an address before the Progressive Business Men's club. Moser questioned, however, the advisability of the adoption of the divided session proposal in November. He admitted that the last days of the legislatures are now marked by confusion, but stated his belief that the divided session with only 10 days for the final assembly would result In equal confusion. He also opposed the proposal because amendment at the final session can only secured through a four-fifths vote. He made no reference to the opportunity to amend during the first 40 days, Moser commended the divided session wherein it provides against consideration of other measures at special sessions than those mentioned by the governor in his message.

28. A reduction of 10 cents per ton on shipments of road building material consigned to the state highway departments, county courts or other municipalities, aa requested by the public service commission and involving a saving "of thousands of dollars annu-alll, is granted by the Southern Pacific company in a- letter received by the commission Thursday. The' reduction will not be shown in the tariffs, it is explained, but will be taken care of in billing and is effective immediately." Application for a complete suspension of the increase in freignt rates on road building materials was filed with the public service commission by J. M. Dev-ers, attorney for the state highway commission, Wednesday evening, too late for action prior to the effectiveness of the increase.

The application sets out that the carriers -are already from 35 to 75 per cent greater returns on shipments of road building materials than is realized on shipments of the same materials in commercial quantities. Any action toward a reduction of these rates now, it is explained by members of the commission, will, have to be taken through the regular channels. -IS, (the Democratic party succeeded in ffy -t 3 "'1 Elimination of more than one million and a half acres of -agricultural land from timber areas in national forest lands of Oregon, and listing for entry 1122 homesteads, have resulted from classification begun, in 1912, and just completed, according to Assistant Forester C. J. Buck.j These homesteads comprised the best agricultural areas which could be found in the national forests, yet there are today less than 43 per cent of these homesteads occupied.

About one third of them have been patented, but even on the patented homesteads less than 40 per cent are occupied and these are producing mostly hay. About 148 of these homesteads are not entered under the homestead laws. The reason assigned for this idle land and the fact that other homesteads have been reaching a higher percent of -use is because the land is inferior in quality and remote from agricultural communities. The forests in Oregon contain more than 2.000.000 acres of alienated lands obtained under the timber and stone homesteading and mining laws. Only 33,000 acres of this land are under cultivation and most of this is producing only; hay.

The classification of land as prepared by the forest service contains accurate data on timber, brush, burns, barren. nominating their entire state ticket with the exception of a congressman- for the western district, at Tuesday's primaries. Congressman Evans, "regular" candidate, is' leading Burton Watson by a slight majority, Incomplete reports show. M. McCursker, radical candidate for congress from the Eastern' district, has apparently been nominated.

Reports from most of the counties in the state indicate the' success of candidates indorsed by the non-Partisan and Labor leagues has been echoed in county and legislative contests. Further reports', from the agricultural areas of Eastern Montana, where the non-Partisan league is strongest, are expected to increase the lead of the Democratic "left wingers" on the state ticket. Returns from 79 out of SI precincts In Silver Bow county, in which Butte, largest city in the state, is located, indicate the radical wing candidates have succeeded in defeating all but three of the "regular!

Interest was general in the Democratic primaries, because of the entry of combined farmer and organized labor forces into the party fight. W. M.

They held a jubilation at their own headquarters, a short distance away. Miss Alice Paul declared that the suffragists will not relax their vigilance until they are sure that no further attempts will be made to take from the women what they have won.

"We are confident that the signature of Secretary of State Colby completes the suffrage struggle in this country she said. "Despite very obstacle that our opponents could put in our way, women have won the right to equal voice in the affairs of the government." Miss Paul will go to New York immediately to attend a conference where the date of the National Woman's party convention will be decided. This convention will-decide future of the party. GOT INTO ARGUMENT Colby said the reason he had not made a public ceremony of the proclamation of the amendment was because of "considerable contention" as to what groups of suffrage workers should participate. According to Colby's aides, his decision was made because groups of women at his home last night got into a spirited argument as to who should be represented at the proposed ceremony.

"This Secondary aspect of the subject has regretfully been the source of considerable contention as to who shall participate in it and who shall not. Inasmuch as I "am not interested in the aftermath of any of the frictions or collisions' which may have been developed in the long struggle for therati-fication of the amendment. I have contented myself with the performance in the simplest manner of the duty devolved upon me under the law.

bjr Tb Joanfl) i Washington, Aug. 26. Charles Evans Hughes and William Howard Taft probably will be appointed to the 'first vacancies on the supreme court of the United States that may occur after March 4 next In the event that Senator -Harding Is elected president. I This is the impression in well Informed '-quarters here where it is also stated rather possible that there will be at least two vacancies before long on the bench of the highest court. The certainty that Messrs.

Hughes and Taft will be the choice of a Republican president is based upon logical circum-etatices as well as the known friendship and admiration which Harding has for the two men who have contributed so much toward the Republican caut i in the past. i HUGHES RACE RECALLED I Hughes was on the bench, happy and contented, when the call of the Repub-, lican party came in 1916. He was reluctant to be a candidate. He didn't lift a finger to get nomination. Indeed, it was feared he would not accept, and the story -goes that Taft.

who originally appointed Hughes to the bench, spent the evening before the Chicago nomination -with Hughes in Washington, and persuaded him-to make the race. He made the fight and was defeated. His -return to practice has been lucrative, 'butt those who know Hughes best say he has been homesick for the supreme bench. As for Taft. there was a vacancy on the bench just before Justice.

Clarke of Ohio was appointed, and -the friends of the ex-president wrote many a letter to President Wilson urging htm to appoint Taft. The White House, of course, never makes any comment on these things, but at the time considerable gossip ran around the national capital to the effect that Taft had fallen out of the good graces of the president because of the support which he (Taft) gave towarU the movement for the election of a Republican congress -n 1918. I'ORTUKES MUTUAL The i political fortunes of Taft and Hughes have been bound together for many' years. The elevation of Governor Hughes" to the supreme bench came in October, 1910, at a- time when had it that Taft was endeavoring to remove from the political horizon his most serious contender for renomination. Both.

Taft and Hughes by their published statements and communications took a stand on the League of Nations before the Chicago convention 1 met this year, which differs materially from that since advanced by Senator It is no secret that the Republican nominee and his political associates have been more or' less anxious about the dilemma of men like Taft or Hughes or Hoover, who had committed themselves to views quite opposite those of Hiram Johnson. ADVICE IS WEIGHED On' the other hand, the political advice that has been given the Republican nominee is that Hiram Johnson's view is at themoment a better vote-getting position. -His -worries about the other elements' tn'- the- Republican party- have caused many a conference. The feeling here is that the consultation with Hughes means somewhat of a turn toward the Hughes-Taft position on the ratification of the treaty of Versailles, rather than as scfane Democrats Salem, Aug. 2S.

The appointment of W. M. Smith, county school superintendent of Marion county for 13 years, to fill the vacancy in the office of assistant state superintendent of i public instruction caused by the resignation of E. F. Carleton several weeks ago.

Smith, a graduate 'of the (Oregon Normal school, was for several years principal of a grade school in! Salem prior to his entry upon the duties of county superintendent 13 years ago. He has also taught in rural schools. As county superintendent he has been active in the development of higher standards in the rural schools I of this county, in industrial club work and in the organization of Parent-Teacher organizations.

MAY MODIFY VIEWS So, the general' inference which is being drawn by those who are in. a position to know what is going on inside the Republican camp is that Harding will soon make "a speech probably on Saturday, next amplifying his League of Nations views in such a way as will command the more hearty support "of those who have shared' the views of Messrs.
