BIG MAJORITY
NATIONALISTS ARE IN HIGH GLEE
Great Crowds in Lobbies and on
Streets Join in Acclaiming Pre-
mier Asquith and Redmond
LONDON, Jan. 11. After a long
battle the home rule bill passed the
House of Commons tonight by a ma
jority of 110, and was formally passed
on for first reading in the House of
Lords. There were two divisions in
the Commons, Mr. Balfour's motion
for its rejection being defeated, 258
to 36S, while the third reading was
carried by 367 to 257.'
Although the result of the division
was a foregone conclusion, Irishmen
out side and inside the House gave
sendoff on its way to the Lords.j The
the measure for which they had wait-
. ed and worked for so long a great
Nationalists waved hats, handkef
chiefs and canes, and cheered lustily
for Premier Asquith and Mr. Red
mond, who so far forgot his usual
impassivity as to join in the demon
stration. The crowd in the lobbies received
the result of the vote with another
roar, and the bill itself was cheered
as it was carried by an official through
the lobbies of the House of Lords,
where it formally passed its first read
ing ' The crowds in the streets
cheered loudly, but a strong force of
police prevented any organized dem
onstration, because of fear of a clash
between the opposing sections.

"Depositors are Protected Sufficiently
Under Present Laws", Declares
Head of New York Bank-
ing Institution
TO
AID WATER SCHEME
Louis C. Kelsey, civil and hydraul
ic engineer, who has charge of the
scheme to furnish water to Willam
ette Valley towns from Clear Lake,
has been furnished a report of the
assessed valuation of the real estate
and personal property of the various
cities and towns of this county. The
report was mailed to Mr. Kelsey
Thursday by J. E. Jack, county as
sessor. Mm Jack furnished the as
sessed valuations of Canby, Oregon
City, Willamette, Gladstone and Mil
waukie. Mr. Jack considers it im
probable that Willamette would con
tract for the. proposed water supply
for that city has one of the best
water systems in the state.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. Liberty
of individuals to concentrate money
and power to the limit o ftheir abil
ity was advocated today before the
house money trust investigating com
mittee by Jacob H. Schiff, of the firm
of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
Mr. Schiff declared individuals
should be allowed to exert their ut
most efforts to concentrate fortunes
and poster until the laws of nature
caused the attempted monopoly to
"fall of its own weight."' He oppos
ed, however, concentration through
corporation and holding companies.
He would not say whether concentra
tion had yet reached the point where
it was dangerous.
Before the same committee today
appeared George W. Reynolds, pres
ident of the Continental & Commer
cial National Bank, of Chicago, who
said that he knew of the "trend to
ward concentration of money cred
its," and that he thought it a dan
gerous thing.
"I am opposed to the concentration
of any sort of power,' he said. "I
I believe that concentration to the point
i it has already gone is a menace. In
! saying that I do not wish to sit in
I judgment on the men who hold the
power."
Mr. Reynolds said he was opposed
to the principle of interlocking direc
tors. Mr. Schiff took the view that de
positors in banks were protected suf
ficiently under the present law, "if
administered by and kept up to the
teachings of experience." He thought
there was no objection to one bank
selling securities to another bank
which it owned, because, "prudence"
would prevent officers of a bank
from accepting too' much doubtful
security, and that no further law was
necessary.
"Too much law," he said, "can crush
the life out of a bank."

of cord wood and other freight now
awaiting shipment.
Each morning large loads of build

steel rails are sent out over the line
which gives the road a regular rail

The officers of the conpany state
that they now have in the bank the
proceeds of the sale of their bonds,
which is ample for all the steel to
be used on. the entire length of the
line, and the stockholders are mak
ing a determined effort to raise an ad

The company has placed an order
for 750 gross tons of new 60-pound
rails, which will fully complete the
first division, and when the road is
completed the entire length of the
line it will be supplied with one size,
that of the new 60-pound rail The
first two and one half miles are being
laid with fifty-six-pound rails which
will eventually be taken up and re
placed with the heavier steel.

BILL TO RAISE GARY'S
SALARY WILL PASS
Representative Gustav Schnoerr, by
his introduction of house bill No. 131,
aids a worthy official and at the
same time saves hundreds of dollars
fpr Clackamas County.
The bill provides that the salary of
the County School Superintendent
shall be fixed at $1600 a year and that
he be required to supervise the rural
schools on an average of four days a
week during the months of September
to May inclusive, thus taking the place
of one of tl.e rural school supervis
ors. The office is to be furnished with
a clerk at a salary of not more than
$60 a month.
Seventy five dollars a quarter shall
be allowed for traveling expenses.
Under this bill the county will save
$940 a year more than if the super
intendent's salary had been increas
ed to accord with a numerously signed
petition from the legal voters of the
county.

GILL WOULD ABOLISH
PiLOT MISSION
Behind a bill of unexciting title
introduced by Representative Gill of
Clackamas is provision for the repeal
ot certain laws hat would automati
cally abolish the Columbia River Pilot
commission.
The passage of this measure would
change to a very great degree the stat
us of the Columbia River pilots
and pilots of the Columbia and Wil
lamette Rivers.
Under the present laws, the pilot
commission, which is composed of
two. members, has the examining and
licensing of all pilots in these juris
dictions. Any person who pilots a
vessel over the bar or up the river,
the law provides, without a license, is
liable to a fine of $500 or six months
imprisonment.
With the commission abolished.
this law, too, would be repealed.
Tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock
the last forms will be closed for the
big Progress nd Anniversary 'Edi
tion of the Morning Enterprise and
all copy not in the oflice by that time
will of necessity have to be left out
of the issue.
Already the handsome two color
cover and 32 of the sixty four pages
that the magazine will contain have
been printed. The remaining 32
pages will be printed today and to
morrow and Monday the book will
go into the bindery from which it will
emerge Thursday morning with the
regular issue of the paper of that
date.
Without question the 1913 Annual
will excel anything of its kind here
tofore published in this city, or in
the Willamette Valley, outside of
Portland. A close and systematic
canvass has been made among the
business interests of this city and
vicinity and if any have been over
looked it was through error rather
than intentional oversight.
There are a dozen or two yet to be
seen and by closing time Saturday
night this ' list will doubtless have a
goodly number of new names added
to- it. The Enterprise suggests that
those who are interested in having
space iD the issue and who have not
already arranged for same, immed
iately communicate with this office
and a representative of the paper will
call upon them. ,

DIMICK FIGHTS AGAINST ODDS
Senator Proposes Bill Which Provides

People
SALEM, Jan. 16. (Special.) The
Clackamas County delegation was
busy today in introducing bills and in
efforts to curb a resolution leading up
to a state appropriation for an inter
state bridge between Oregon and
Washington "
Representative Schuebel introduced
a bill of considerable importance to
the fishing interests of Clackamas
Clackamas County, amending the
present law by taking the jurisdiction
from the fish commissioners the right
of closing the Willamette River north
of Willamette Falls at Oregon City
Representative Schnoerr introduced a
bill to raise the salary, of the county
school superintendent of Clackamas
County.
Another bill introduced by Repre
sentative Schuebel provides for a
method of handling liens on property
in incoporated cities and towns. Sen
ator Dimick introduced a bill provid
ing that road supervisors be elected
by the peopla and another providing
a method for incorporated cities and
towns to change their boundaries.
Senator Dimick carried two heavy
tasks, one fighting a resolution to
provide for a committee, two from the
house and three from the senate to
meet a similar committee from Wash
ington to discuss and investigate
the feasibility of an interstate bridge.
Senator Dimick filed a minority re
port of the committee on resoltitions
against the resolution and led the
fight on the floor. His motion was
defeated. ,
Senator Dimick also will be floor
leader tomorrow in an effort to pass
over the veto 'of the Governor two
bills introduced by Wood, of Washing
ton County, aimed at deficiencies of
the state institutions. These bills
were to come today. Those fath
ering them are afraid of the possibil
ity oJ;heir being passed and secured
a lay over until tomorrow on these
bills. At that time the fight will be
carried which will, be of considerable
importance in the future course of
the present state administrations.
The sessions today were void of
sensational features. The fight on
the veto bills of the Governor was
carried on in the senate, 12 out of
17 being sustained by the senate and
sent to the house. The house takes
up the bills tomorrow.
The senate passed Its first bill to
day, it being of minor importance.
