FEW OPPOSE IT
Fair Bill Passes House
With Ease.
BUT FIVE ADVERSE VOTES
Sentiment Is Strongly in Its
Favor,
D. J. MALARKEY'S FINE SPEECH
He Readily Answer Attempts to
Amend the Measure Gol-n to Sen
ate Today, "Where Prompt Ac
tion Is Expected.
The Lewis and Clark Fair appropria
tion bill passed the House with prac
tically no opposition.
A few members' voted "no" through
wishes of their constituents.
The opposition wanted to withhold
the money until the fair committee had
secured $500,000 or $1,000,000 from
other sources, but It was shown that
this would seriously retard the enter
prise. A spirited debate preceded the vote on
the proposed amendment, but when the
presiding officer put the question not a
single voice was raised In objection.
SALEM. Or., Jan. 20. (Staff correspond
ence.) I he Lewis and Clark Fair bill
passed the House today. Although five
votes were recorded against the measure,
It encountered no actual opposition. The
measure will go to the Senate tomorrow,
where it is expected to be disposed of
Just as promptly as in the House. The
five members who voted against the bill
today were: Gault of "Washington. Hunt.
Icy and Paulsen of Clackamas, Bllyeu of
Linn, and Olwell of Jackson. Several of
these gentlemen said before the bill came
up that they had no objection to the ap
propriation,' "But felt constrained by their
constituents to vote against It. However,
they, would not fight the bill.
The measure passed after a spirited de
bate, or rather animated discussion. The
speeches left no doubt about the over
whelming sentiment of the House In fa
vor of the bill. Such debate as there was
centered about the question whether to
amend the bill so as to withhold the state
money until the Fair had secured 5500,.
000 or $1,000,000 from other sources. Half
of Josephine and Phelps of Morrow pro
posed the amendments. They denied that
they wished to retard the Fair, and said
they desired to assist the enterprise all
they could. The House took the nosltlon
that the amendments would work delay
to the Exposition at a time when thev
might cause other states to withhold as
sistance.
Four members who voted for the bill
explained their votes. Shelley of Lane
said that the state would not feel the
burden of the Fair tax because the cor
poration tax. which is to be enacted.
would bring to the state between noo.OOt
and $150,000 annual revenue more than Is
now collected.
Judd of Marlon aid that at first he had
thought the appropriation too large, but
that he had come to believe that the state
could pay It easily. Galloway of Yamhill
thought the appropriation too large, but
he waived his opinion In the face of the
overwhelming sentiment for the bill. Kav
of Marlon declared that the state would
be disappointed in the practical results
of the Fair and he prophesied that four
years hence the Legislature would be
asked to make good a deficit.
Dan J. Malarkey, chairman of the sne-
clal House committee on the measure.
led the debate In favor of the bill.
He was aided by Banks of Multno
mah, who had an amusing set-to with
Gault, by Jones of Lincoln, Judd of
Marion, Cornett of Linn. Whealdon of
"Wasco, and Davey of Marlon. The cham
pions of the bill are thus seen to repre
sent widely separated districts of the
state. The sentiment" of the House was
overwhelming that the Exposition was for
Oregon and the Pacific Coast, and not
alone for Portland and Multnomah.
Tomorrow the bill will go to the Senate.
where Its advocates expect It to bo passed
as readily as It was today by the House.
The measure was brought up Jn the
House first on account of Its being a
revenue bill. Some apprehension was felt
lest opposition might develop In the
House. Dan J. Malarkey, who has been
fathering the bill In the lower chamber,
has worked carefully and without undue
haste, so that other members of the bodv
might not think he was trying to "rush"
or "railroad the measure. Senator J. E.
Hunt Is the champion .of the bill In the
Senate. He has cleared the way In that
body so that the measure will doubtless
go through to final passage without ob
stacle. This week the bill should have
the signature of the Governor, and In all
probability will then virtually be a law,
although it will be subject to referendum
The opinion is general that the people will
not demand referendum, because the
measure has been before the nubile so
long that it has received common acqules-
cense.
The bill came up this morning on the
report of the special committee comnoRod
of Malarkey of Multnomah, Carnahan of
Clat3op, Davey of MarlOn. Riddle of Doug
las, Shelley of Lane. Whealdon of "Wasco.
and Galloway of Yamhill. The committee
recommended passage of . the measure,
with one minor amendment to the effect
that the memorial building, for which
$50,000 is to be appropriated by the state.
shall be maintained after the Exposition
by the City of Portland, "without expense
to the State of Oregon." Galloway, the
only member of the committee who did
not approve the bill, did not submit a
minority report, and made no protest on
the floor of the House.
"Aye" Carry It by Storm.
After the first reading of the bill the
House went Into committee of the whole.
Speaker Harris called Eddy to the chair,
who presided while the bill was on second
reading. The spirited way In which he
presided set up a thrill of enthusiasm all
over the House, and when the bill came
up for passage after the second reading
the vote "Aye" was so loud that it
re-echoed Into the chamber and out Into
the rotunda.
The adoption of the bill part by part pro
cceded smoothly In committee df the whole
until section 11 was reached. One minor
amendment was offered to section 2 by
Davey, and adopted, to provide that the
Governor may fill vacancies In the state
commission when they are caused by re
fusnl to qualify or by death or reslgna
tlon, "or otherwise."
Hale Moved to Amend.
Section 11 Is the clause appropriating
$300,000. Here the progress of the reading
was stayed for a pyrotechnic display of
oratory. Hale of Josephine gave the ad
herents of the bill a few moments of un
easiness by offering the following amend
ment:
Provided, That no part of the fund hereby ap
proprlated shall be drawn or made available
for any purpose until the Lewis and Clark
Centennial Exposition Commission shall show
to the satisfaction of the Secretary of State
and State Treasurer that the commission has
an available fund for the purposes of the Ex
position by subscription and private and cor
poratc donations, and exclusive of state and
National appropriations, of not less than
"We should not be unmindful of the
uhWlib nu are io proauce tnis runa.
said Hale of Josephine, mover of the
amendment. "It Is no argument that thl3
bill was drawn by eminent attorneys for
ine uuy or Portland a city that
produces most of the capitalists,
most of the millionaires and most of the
candidates for the United States Senate.
The speaker went on to express a kindly
leeling toward Portland and the enter
prise. "But It Is a Portland enterprise
born there and nurtured there," he 3ald
"and they come here asking us to spend
the people's money in their aid. I am very
anxious to make this .enterprise a great
success; but if it Is to be a success, it will
take far more money than the people of
Portland have subscribed. It will take
$1,000,009. If we cannot raise that much
we'd better kill the bill and save the peo
ple s money." The speaker went on to
argue that me people who pay the taxes
are the people In moderate circumstances
upon whom thj burden would fall heavi
est.
Mnlarkey's Vigorous Reply.
Mr. Malarkey was electrified at once
and spoke against the amendment in an
animated manner. "This bill." said he.
looking toward Mr. Hale, "was very care
fully prepared by a committee of three
of thtT nbT-. .r- lawyers' in ihe Sttte of
Oregon. It was referred to a special com
mittee of seven members of this House,
Senator Hunt has Introduced an identical
bill in the Senate. There the bill was re
fcrred to a special committee of seven
members of that body. These two cocn-
mlttees have met In joint conference, and
have given the bill full consideration and
favorable report. Amendments were con
sldered by us to require the Fair to have
from $300,000 to $2,000,000 at Its disposal be
fore it should receive money from the
state. These amendments were all re
jected."
Mr. Malarkey went on to say that ccm
parlson of the alms and purposes of other
great expositions of the United States
with the alms and purposes of the Lewis
and Clark Exposition was unfair, and that
therefore the appropriation of $500,000 could
not be considered out of proportion with
the resources of the state. "The expos!
Hons." said Mr. Malarkey, "In the older
communities of the East have not aimed
to attract Immigration. But this Is the
aim of the Lewis and Clark Fair. It Is
to draw people from Eastern States to see
our resources. By the terms of this bill
$50,000 is for a display of Oregon pro
ducts at St. Louis. Another $50,000 Is to
be a permanent memorial building at
Portland. When you eliminate these two
sums, the actual appropriation for the
Fair is reduced to $i00.00u, which Is about
the sum already subscribed to the Fair."
Mr. Malarkey concluded by declaring
that the proposed amendment If adopted
would kill the Fair. B. F. Jones, of Lin
coln County, strongly opposed the amend
ment "it woulu kill the bill." he said.
If we delay In this matter we may be too
late. The fyes of other Legislatures are
upon us. The time has come to pass the
bill. Oregon Is 20 years behind "Washing
ton In advertising Its resources. By mak
ing this appropriation Oregon will put
Itself forward where It belongs. The peo
ple of my county are ready to carry their
share of tho. tax." f
One of the "Poor Taxpayers.'
E. T. Judd, of Marlon, spoke In the
sHme tenor. "I protest," said he. "against
the attempt to develop sentiment against
the Fair bill by telling us (referring to
Mr. Hale) how very poor many of our
taxpayers are. If there are any poor
taxpayers, I'm one of them." Mr. Judd
declared tLat though one of the "poor
Taxpayers" he was a supporter of the
Fair. "This bill," he continued, "Is not of
mushroom growth. The best brainy of
attorneys and business men have gone
Into It. They have given It careful atten
tion for months. A word to my fellow
farmers: Let us do our own thinking.
While we may not have the wealth and
education of some people, we can do our
own thinking. If the bill Is to be killed
let us kill It at once and not filibuster nor
kill it oft by Inches."
F. D. Cornett.. of Linn, said that the
amendment would hamper the Fair in get
ting aid from other states.
N. Whealdon, of Wasco, said: "This bill
Is the product of brilliant legal talent, and
of our best business men, and Is for a
business purpose. The amendment should
be rejected."
Frank uavey, of Marion, then took -a
band in the discussion. "We should dis
cuss this section with candor and on its
merits," said he. "I do not believe. the
amendment a reasonable one. If I be-

SALEM, Jan. 20. (Staff correspondence.)
The result of the first ballot for United
States Senator .today was precisely as
forecasted In The Oregonian, except that
two Fulton votes In Clackamas County
went for Geer. Mr. Fulton received 2S
votes. Gecr 20 votes and Wood IS. The
Multnomah delegation carried out Its plan
of scattering among several eligible resi
dents of Portland, their total of 19 Re
publicans being divided among nine dif
ferent persons.
Mr. Fulton solved the problem of pre
venting the loss of his own vote by the
easy expedient of absenting himself. The
absentees were three Senator Fulton and
Representatives Hume and Adams. If, In
the joint convention tomorrow, there are
present only S7 of the SO members of the
Legislature, a majority, or 44. mav eleot n
United States Senator. If Senator Fulton
is present it will take 45. So the Import
ance as well as the propriety' of the Sen
ator falllnsr to answer his name on rolf
call Is apparent. -
The progress of the separate ballots
today was marked by no unusual inci
dents. In the Senate the June vote under
the Mays act was canvassed in the morn
ing and then followed an Intermission
until 11:55. At the noon hour the roll was
called and the vote taken without the
usual formality of nominating speeches.
Senator Stelwer, about whose position
there was much Interest, cast his vote for
Geer. The six Multnomah Republican
votes split between .Judge George and
Henry L. Pittock. The result was: Fulton,
9; Gecr, S; Wood, 6; George, 3; Pittock, 3.
The result was speedily announced and
the Senate adjourned.
In the House a large crowd assembled
In the lobby. At noon there was a slight
effort on the part of Representative Davey
to have the June vote canvassed first,
but he was defeated by the ruling of the
chair. Nominating speeches followed, be
ing made by Davey for Geer. Phelps for
Fulton and Galloway for Wood. After the
vote had been taken the result of the con-
est between Geer and Wood In June was
canvassed and announced. The House vote
was: Fulton, 19: Geer. 12; Wood, 12; and
scattering Included the remainder.
The Fulton forces tonight are claim
ing that they will tomorrow have 31
votes. They say that they will receive

accessions In the persons of Representa
tives Huntley and Webster, of Clacka
mas, who today were In the Geer col
umn, and Representative Eddy, of Tilla
mook. The first two have been looked
upon as Fulton men, and Mr. Eddy 1ns
been known to be strongly Inclined to
ward the Clatsop candidate.
Democrats Are Looking On.
"Democrats will vote steadily for C. E.
S. Wood for Senator." So say the lead
ers of the minority flock In the Legis
lature. "We can't'do anything else than
vote for Wood." slid Senator Wehrung.
"We are bound to vote for Wood," re
marked Senator Swcek. "We shall con
tinue to vote for Wood Indefinitely," an
nounced Representative Ga'.lowty. When
asked whether Democrats would vote for
Wood clear to the end, Mr. Galloway
responded: "Oh, I don't know: strange
things have happened." Then he added:
"It Is the duty of Democratic Senatorial
electors to vote for a Democrat for- Sen
ator." It is understood about the Capitol that
Democrats will stand by Mr. Wood for a
while at least, perhaps a good, long while.
Wrhen asked whether they were going to
cast their ballots to the finish for a mem
ber of their own faith and thus eliminate
themselves from the Republican contest
they put on knowing looks as if to say,
"Walt and see." Some of the gentlemen
go so far ao to give expression to this
sentiment In actual words. "It's for us to
stand pat," remarked one of the gentle
men tonight.
Last night the Democrats held a pow
wow at Senator Swcek's headquarters.
The result of their profound deliberations
Is shown In today's ballot for Senator.
All their votcej to the number of 17 went
to Wood. Gill, Republican, for the sake
of novelty, voted for Wood. This caused
a commotion In the Democratic camp and
one of the faithful remarked: "If the
Republicans keep dropping In we'll land
our man yet'
At the meeting last night Wood's letter
was discussed. His advice that Demo
crats should vote for Geer was not heeded.
Whether or not the Mays law constrains
a minority to support the majority candi
date is a question of debate among Dem
ocrats. Senator Mays said today that
this was not the intention of the law.
Presidential electors, for exumple. vote
for the candidate of their own party
whether he be a minority candidate or
not.
Galloway Makes n Hit.
Galloway of Yamhill made a speech to
day, the tall-end of which made an en
tertaining swish at the Republicans.
"When the people," said he, "elected Dem
ocratic Presidential electors they expected
them to vote for the Democratic candidate
for President; when the people elect Re
publican Presidential electors they expect
them to vote for the Republican candidate
for President. When the people elect
Democratic Senatorial electors they expect
them to vote for the Democratic candidate
fpr Senator. But," paused the Yamhill
gentleman, "when the people elect Re
publican Senatorial electors, God only
knows what they expect them to do."

of State." President Brownell directed
that the message be read, and It proved
to be a letter transmitting the duplicates
of the election returns, as required by
law. President Brownell then directed
that the vote be canvassed, and the chief
clerk read off the vote for each county
and the total for the state. The president
announced the vote, and then Inquired:
"What Is the further pleasure of the Sen
