Riniily differences within tho
Democratic ranks in the senate
seem lo be Uttlo less acute than
thoso within the O. O. P., which
caused la Kollcttc, Brookhurl, l'ni
zior and l.add to be road out of
tho Republican party by their fel
low senators a few weeks a so.
For not' even tho bitterest ex
changes between reactionary Re
publican members and the progres
sive group within that party have
upproached in caustic comment
the exchange the other day" be
tween those two good Democratic
solons, Bruce of Maryland and
Harrison of Mississippi.
Harrison proceeded, to his own
satisfaction at least, to read Bruce
out of the party.
Whereupon Bruce, declaring he
had voted the Democratic ticket
fore Harrison was born, pitched
senatorial courtesy into the dis
card and unllmbercd an array of
adjectives descriptive of Harrison
that made even the hardest-boiled
of the word-warriors shiver.
Bruce, it may be remembered,
first caught the spotlight during
the fight lunt session -to displace
Senator Cummins us chairman of
the powerful Interstate Commerce
Commission.
When his voto would have
clinched the result, putting a
Democrat instead of a Republican
in this placo of power,' the Mary
land senator deserted his Demo
cratic fellows unci voted to keep
Cummins in the citalr.
As a result of that voto Bruce
was dubbed "B. & O. Bruco," by
Irato Democruts who inferred the
political power of the B. & O. rail
road in his state had Influenced
the senator In his position.
Through the whole of that fight
which finally, through a coalition
of Democrats and progressive Re
publicans, - resulted In making
Bmith of South Carolina chairman,
Bruce voted consistently with the
Cummins Republicans. -
,
The present ruction between
Bruce and his fellow Democrats,
as represented by Harrison, key
note spokesman for the party last
summer, arose1, dver . tho under
Jwood Muscle Hh-wtls-fdH. " 9 '-
Bruce rushed to the defense of
a constituent of his, Gustavus
Ober Jr., of Baltimore, who Is
head of the "fertilizer trust'! had
been pictured uk a moving, force
behind tho oppoAUlon to govern
ment production o,(:nltriiU'S at tlrcr
bhoaifJ. -,,: ,j or tw I'
In tho course q. his -defense of
Ober, Bruce said somo things
about the Democratic party which
coming from the Democratic side.

Annual Session on: in

PORTLAND, Ore. (By tho As
sociated Press) 'Uiio annual con-,
vehtion of Oregon state chambers
of commerce opened here Thurs
day with an address by Thomas B.
Kay,, state treasurer, who declared
that fur from being tax ridden,
Oregon pays less than most Of the
other western states. To prove, his
contention Mr. Kay submitted an
array of facts and figures. . .
STOI!AHr NEW IHRKCTOIl
i PORTLAND, Ore. It is npthlnk
short of libel to refer to Oregon-as
a tax-ridden state, and Instead of
fostering this Idea its citizens
should know and' advertise the
fact that taxation here Is lower
than in most other western states,
Thomas B. Kay, state treasurer,
yesterday told the state Chamber
of Commerce.
Treasurer Kay backed hiB state
monts with arrays of figures and
facts. He did not mince words in
criticising agitators, office-seekers,
high orrice holders and certain edi
torial writers who, he charged,
have garbled facts in dealing with
tax .matters.
The treasurer's addrefcs was so
replete with data and struck such
a popular chord that It was unani
mously voted to 'have It printed
and distributed by the state cham
ber, irvlng K. Vining, president of
the siate chamber, suggested this
and whenhe asked an expression
from delegates at the conference
they shouted their approval.
