.WASHINGTON, Mar. 5. After
two senate sessions today had re
vibrated with echoes of the precedent-fracturing
Induction into of
fice yesterday of Vice-President
Dawes, It was agreed unanimously
that .whatever was done yesterday
In disregard of senate rules Bhould
be considered for this one time
only as legal and nroner.
' The vice-president himself kept
"silent during most ef the assault
upon his method of speeding up
senate business, but offered before
the debate was over to re-adminlst-er
the oath of office if the senate
thought It necessary, to the new
members whose Induction Into of
fice he had Interrupted In viola
tion of senate traditions.
Republican leaders replied that
such a step would be unnecessary,
however, and accepted Instead an
Unanimous consent agreement pro
posed by Senator Reed, democrat,
Missouri, putting the seal of sen
ate approval on yesterday's pro-
. ceedlngs. After this stipulation ap
proval the agreement as entered
" into speciied that the unanimous
consent "is given In view of the
special circumstances" of yesterday
and added the action should not
aVbe taken nor considered as any
relaxation of the rules of the sen
tte nor as a precedent for their fu
ture disregard."
Immediately afterwards a pro
posal to amend the rules was of
fered by Senator Underwood demo
crat, Alabama. It ' would provide
the way to Impose a limitation up
on debate to prevent one-man 'fill
busters a step 'which the new
vice-president advocated In his in
augural address but which republi
can leaders do not believe can
command a sufficient majority.

WASHINGTON. Mar. B. Vice
President Dawes took on the sen
ate today In a tirstdn inconclusive
fifteen minute roifhd surcharged
1 with the electricity o eager- ex
pectancy. There was an explosion
or two over the manner in which
the new presiding officer had cutj
corners at tne expense 01 lime npn
ored senate customs upon his In
auguration yesterday, but when a
recess was taken until later In the
- afternoon the row had not yet
rearhed an acute stage.
Throughout the quarter hour
Session, Mr. Dawes himself kept
perfectly quiet except, when. In a
low voice that scarcely reached
the far corners of the chamber, he
put two perfunctory motions and
announced the result. Duslng the
short .time he was In the chair,
however, the vice-president was
the target of a sharp criticism et
his manner of cutting short the
swearing In of new senators yester
day, delivered by Senator Ashnrst,
democrat, Arizona, who emphasis
ed his speech by shaking his fore
finger at the chair: heard Senator
Reed, democrat. Missouri, demand
ing that the official record of what
was done yesterday be examined
again by the senate and listened to
an explanation by Senator Hall,
republican, Minnesota, who took
upon himself all blame for the
vice-president's failure to return to
the chamber yesterday after ha
had witnessed the Inauguration of
President coonria-e.
Crowded galleries and an unusu
al number of senators, attracted by
the prospect of a row watched the
proceedings In an atmosphere so
tense that the quiet was oppres
sive. At the end there was a uni
versal slab of relief that the Im
pact had been no worse, but sena
tors, gathering In little knots to
talk It over after the recess yea
taken, seemed certain there was
more to come.
The vice-president himself look
ed on during the session with sn
Inscrutable countenance, and de
clined to comment on It after
wards. Wearing a natty brown
business suit, he had stepped to

section of the Pacific Coast con
ference at stake, the University of
Oregon and the Oregon Agricul
tural College basketball teams will
battle here at 6 o'clock this after
noon in the first of a three-game
series. The winner of two of the
three games will play California
for the Pacific Coast champion
ship. Oregon Is not confident, though
the team is determined. Okerberg

the northern section scoring for
the season is suffering from a
sprained ankle, sustained on the
last trip of the Oregon team. Jost,
guard, has been in the infirmary
for two days with an attack of the

of the conference had two ulcerat
ed teeth extracted, and la still feel
ing the effects, ,
With this tale of woe, tha Ore

but close followers of the sport are
of the opinion that the minor In
juries will not seriously handicap
the quintet when the play gets un
der way. ,
O. A. C. men. according to word
sent herb are In good condition,
with the exception of Brown, cent
er, who is handicapped by a weak
wrist. It is possible that he will
not start the game, but that Dl
woky may be used In his stead, It
Is said.
Ridings, one of the steadiest and
deadliest forwards In the confer
ence, is at top notch form, accord
ing to the dope. Steele, who has
been, out of the Aggie line up for a
while with a sprained ankle Is
back again, while Stoddard and
Baker are in good shape for the
crucial contests.
The Seconal game of the series
will be played In Corvallis Satur

REFORESTATION
BILL IS VETOED
E
Measure on Which Officials
Worked for Months Is
Knocked in Head.
MAKES OBJECTIONS
Says Power of Taxation Is
Wrong and Doubts
That Measure Is
Constitutional.
(Awetated Frees Leased Wire.)
8ALEM, Ore., March E. Ob
jecting to the power which would
be given the state board of fores
try under the act, Governor Pierce
yesterday vetoed the reforestation
bill on which State Forester El
liott and other members of the
state board of forestry worked
for months prior to tbe convening
of the recent legislature. The
governor's main objection la to
the power of taxation which
would be given the board, says,
which la neither put Into office
by the electorate nor by any other
governmental agency, and ' Be
points out that under the measure
It might be possible for a majority
of the board to be controlled by
non-residents of the state and at
the same time exercise the power
of taxation under the act. The
governor expresses doubt as to
the constitutionality of the man
ner In which the hoard of fores
try Is appointed and suggests that
It should be tested out In court.
The governor also objects strong
ly to the 60 year contract pro
vision In the measure.
- "The bill provides a method of
taxation on reforested lands and
timber not yet of merchantable
size," says the veto message. "The
act undertakes to separate from
the rest of the taxable property
In the state all lands not new in
timber of merchantable size and
chiefly valuable for tbe purpose
of growing such timber, and un
dertakes to deal with such lands
for purpose of taxation In a man
ner that Is different from that
provided by law with respect to
other assessable property.
"Under this proposed act the
state board of forestry would have
the power of valuing the lands for
1 . w
assessment purposes. Tne state
board of forestry consists of the
governor, the acting head of the
forest school of Oregon Agricul
tural College and five electors of
the state of Oregon to be ap
pointed by the governor from and
, unon the authoritative reenmmen
!datlon of the Oregon state grange,
the Oregon Forest Fire Asspcla'
tlon. The West Coast Lumber
mons' Association, the United
States Forest Service and the Ore
gon Wool Growers Association,
each to select and name one of
such members. The board there
fore consists of seven members,
five of whom are appointed by
five different private organiza
tions. "Assessing property for tha
purpose of taxation Is one of tha
most Important functions of gov
ernment. It Is Intolerable that
such powers should be exercised
hy the board, the majority of
members of whirh are appointed
neither by the electorate nor by
any governmental agency what
ever, but solely by private organi
sations standing In no respons
ible relation to the state, and con-
' -
foiled. It may be. by persons who
are not even citizens of the state,
the appointment of the members
of the state board of forestry In
this fashion Is repugnant to the
whole spirit of representative gov
ernment. Its constitutionality
should be tested at an early date
by the sunreme court. ' This bill
lis built up around thlt slate

Another object of the bill seems,

State Commissioner With
More Money Available
ShoulJ - Be Able to
Make Up Difference.
That the new law relating to the
fll'atn nrnhlbltion commissioner and
the enforcement of the nrnhlbltion
law. will provide greater efficiency
In law enforcement, through better
distribution of funds, is the state -
roent made by Senator B. U Eddy,
In discussing the law, which tl-
trlct Attorney Cordon stated
would probably result In a cut In
the law enforcement staff of the
county.
"It Is true," Senator Eddy says,
"that this law fixes the maximum
sura to be taken from fines for
state-wide enforcement at fifty
thousand dollars Instead of twenty
five thousand dollars as under the
former law. When It Is remember
ed that there are thirty-six coun
ties In the state of Oregon to be
covered by the activities of the
state prohibition commissioner,
tweiHy-flve thousand dollars did
not leave sufficient funds to do ef
fective work after payment of the
salarlea of the commissioner and
office expenaea and other fixed
charges. The new law will provide
funda for a more efficient state
organization, and local officers will
be able to have the assistance of
trained men under the direction of
the prohibition commissioner when
desired. It Is well known that It
la necessary to employ, strangers
In order to successfully enforce the
prohibition law. For this reason
It is not within the spirit of the
law to employ local officers on
fixed salaries, to be paid from the
fines. They are so well known that
they cannot 'accomplish much to"
ward the enforcement of the iaw.
"Under the new law, it the state
recelves.lhe sum of fifty thousand
dollars, the surplus of one-half of
the fines goes back into the general
funds of the counties, and what-
ever, sum is left on the remaining
one-hair, after payment of disburse
ments of the sheriff and district
attorney, also goes Into the general
fund of the county. Furthermore,
the new law provides for turning
the funds Into the general fund of
the counties at the end of the year,
but two thousand dollars la to be
retained for the use of the local of
ficers In each oounty. If thero be
that amount on hand.
"The act also provides for a cer
tain amount of the funda being us
ed by the sheriff Independently of
the district attorney, unless the
sheriff and district attorney shall
agree otherwise, lnder the expect
ed efficient administration of the
new law, no doubt fines will In
crease, and funds will be ample.
