DIRECTOR OF IRRIGATION
House Passes Bills Vital to AVcstcrn
States BUI Allowing Appeal
From DccMons Giving Im
munity to Criminals.
AVASHINGTON, April 17. To clear the
legislative decks for pending- money bills
for tho support of the Government, the
House today worked uninterruptedly
from 11:30 to 5 o'clock. In that time 11
general bills were iassed under suspen
sion of the rules. Next to the national
quarantine bill, the bill to regulate ap
peals in criminal cases wm probably of
the largest interest, the Attorney-General
deeming the legislation of vital Impor
tance on account of the decision in the
beef trust cases. The present law docs
not permit the Government, when a de
murrer to an indictment is sustained, to
have the same reviewed by writ of error,
by either theSupreme Court of the Unit
ed States or the Circuit Court of Appeals.
In addition the House passed 572 private
pension bills:
When the House met. consideration of
tho National quarantine bill was re
sumed. The House bill was substituted
for the Senate bill, the vote being 172
to 27.
Farms in Forest Reserves.
The bill to provide for entry of agri
cultural land within forest reserves was
taken up on motion of Dixon (Mont.).
.Mondell (Wyo.) thought if the bill passed
It would bring vast areas directly under
the Bureau of Forestry that did not have
a treo or bush. So far as these areas
arc concerned, it would repeal the timber
and stone section of the present law and
the commutation clause.
The bill was passed with one amend
ment, striking out the paragraph giving
the Secretary of Agriculture the right to
st aside such forest reserve land as was
not occupied by a bona fide settler Jan
uary 1. 190C.
Creates Reclamation Bureau.
After considerable debate, the bill cre
ating in the Department of the Interior
a Director of the Reclamation Service
and to pay him a salary of $0000 per year
from the reclamation fund, was passed.
The bill provides that until the President
shall appoint a Director the present of
ficial, designated by the Secretary of the
Interior to have charge of the work
of the Reclamation Service, shall
continue in charge of the bureau, with an
addition to his present salary of 51500
per year. The bill really was intended
to give the Reclamation Service a legal
status.
Other Bills Passed.
afterward the Senate went into executive
session, adjourning at 5:38 P. M
XiABOR SCARE IX NORTHWEST
Delay la Government Irrigate
"Work ScrloHS Result.
WASHINGTON. April 17. The scarcity
of labor in the Northwest, the incr&M tn
the price of material and alio In the rate
of wages, has caused great delay in tar
rying out Government reclamation pro
jects. This statement was made to tne
House committee' on I nitration of arid
lands today by N. H. Savage, division en
gineer of the Reclamation Service for
Northwest Wyoming, Montana and North
Dakota.
Mr. Savage said that in projects already
contracted for the Government was get
ting its work done at less cost than rail
road work of the same class In the same
Llocalltlesc. because when the Government
began ita Irrigation worK mas were re
ceived from contractor of every charac
ter, the only requisite being the giving of
a sufficient bond. Many of theao first
contractors took work so low that they
have since failed. The railroads received
bids from only a select few and have had
to pay more. Notwithstanding the ad
verse condition, Mr. Savage reported sub
stantial progress.

POKES PITCHFORK INTO BANKS
Another Speech on Demand for In
quiry Into Campaign Donations.
WASHINGTON. April 17.-Prcceding the
taking up of the railroad rate bill in the
Senate today. Tillman called up his reso
lution directing the Senate committee on
finance to enter upon an investigation of
the question of campaign contributions by
the National banks and the resolution
was referred to the finance committee.
Tillman said that he would not confine
the Inquiry to tin- Republican committee,
but would extend It to the Democratic
committee.
Foster spoke for almost three hours on
the rate bill, contending for the validity
of the proposed legislation, urging Its ne
cessity to check the growing power of the
railroads and announcing his support of
a broad court review, with a prohibition
against temporary injunctions in rate
cases by the inferior Federal courts.
When the Senate met. the House bill
providing for the coinage of minor coins
was taken up and passed. The bill In
creases to J200.000 the appropriation for
the purchase of metal for this coinage
and authorizes coinage at San Francisco,
Denver and New Orleans mints In addi
tion to the Philadelphia mint.
Tillman then called up his resolution di
recting the committee "on finance to make
inquiry concerning political contributions
by National banks.
Tillman said that he had been told that
the total contributions to the Republican
fund In 1K had been $3,800,000; in 1S00,
J2.SOO.000. and in lPOt. Sl.fl00.000.
Auditor Anthony, of the Republican Na
tional Committee, it was said, could give
a complete list of all the contributions.
Tillman added that a statement of con
tributors, and of those who did not con
tribute was made periodically, and that
the President knew who they were.
A letter-writer volunteered the informa
tion that an examination would reveal
the fact that Secretary Root had been re
sponsible for the appointment of ex-Secretary
Morton as the head of the Equita
ble Company, and that the purpose of his
selection had been to head off the insur
ance investigation.
Continuing. Tillman announced his con
viction that the National banks were even
now contributing to state campaigns in
order to keep favorite parties in power.
Foster was recognized to speak on
the railroad rate bill. After reviewing
the legislation looking to rate regulation,
he said it was a mistake to think the
present demands spring from anything
but conditions arising from modern busi
ness end a demand for a square deal and
equal opportunity in commercial affairs.
Discussing the. pending legislation. Fos
ter said that unless the provisions of the
rate-making section are passed, such fail
ure on the part of Congress will give im
petus to Government ownership, and, so
far as he was concerned, he would be
willing to forego any objections he had
to other portions of the bill in order to
pass that section. He gave it as his opin
ion that the railroads not only are giving
rebates and practicing discriminations
against localities, but are equally guilty
of exacting unreasonable rates.
Foster said the m country Is becoming
restless, not so much because of excessive
rates as because of the utter helplessness
of the shipper In the face of the corabina
tlon of the railroads. He described the
result of combination as a hotbed f me
nopoly He announced hit support of
Bailey's non-suspension amendments
Foster concluded at 4:5 P. M., aad
bill.

Candidate for
Republican Nomination for .
State Treasurer ?
AGAIN, MR. HOYT,
What are you going to do with the interest on state funds?
Bo you propose to depoiit state funds in the Merchants' National Bank?
I answered your questions ANSWER MINE.
MY PLATFORM:
I will pay over to the state every dollar of interest paid on state funds,
whether there be a law passed requiring me to do so or not.
I promise to reside in Salem and give my personal attention to the con
duct of the office.
1 promise that I will not deposit any of the state funds in any hankin
which I am in any measure interested, but I will distribute them fairly and
impartially throughout the state.
I am not a candidate of any clique or faction.
