Resulting from the adoption of the res

be circulated relieving member of the
legislature from alleged obligations, with

ing to Gus C Moaer. one of Its most
vigorous advocates, will le In the nature
of a recall upon any pledges that may
have been made by member of the leg
islature prior to the election.
C. M. Idlcnian Lends Opposition.
It wu. however, only after a violent
rt-scussion of three hours' duration that
the resolntion was adopted. Leading an
opposition as vehement in Ms denuncia
tion of the resolution as was the ad
vocacy of th'We favoring It. L M. Idle
man strove vainly to crush the measure,
and when he finally saw his Impending
defeat by overwhelming numbers, still
continued the fight by urging amend
ments and alterations. Rut In this, too.
h was derisively beaten.
Mr. Idleraan was heartily supported in
his efforts to thwart the adoption of such
a resolution by Dr. Hmniet Drake. V.
M. Iav1a and President John Gill, who
presided. Opiosed to them anil chain

Verbal Storm Breaks Karlv.
It was only a few moments after tha
meetitnK had been called to order that the
battle begun. It waited back and forth
for an hour or more, increasing in
virulence, and with never a sign of pos
sible cessation of hostilities, until the
arrival of Councilman A. N'. Wills, who
had attended a meeting of the Council.
Mr. Wilis sugg'-eted compromise, related
funny stories and Incidentally made such
grave charges against Governor Chamber
la:!. Democratic candidate for the Sen
ale, that the, warriors were willing to
ease up a bit and listen. When be had
finished the belligerent attitude of at
least a portion of the opposition had
sultf.ded somewhat, and soon afterwards
the vcte was tnken.

11-esl.lent Gill showed signs of hostility
to the proposed measure as soon as It
was Introduced by Sir. Colwell. Such a
resolution had been laid upon the table
at the last meeting of the club, he said,
where it was to remain until Wednesday.
There had been no meeting on Wednes
day and consequently it was not proper
to discuss It at the present time. In
stantly there were half a dosen flery
tong'ied warriors on their feet, but Mr.
Oalvanl was recognised. He denounced
the action of the chair as a subterfuge.
an effort to side-step the discussion,
and he was followed by others.
Colwell Submits Resolution.
When the resolution was at last sub
mitted as a matter of new business, Mr.
Colwell Introduced It. Pr. Drake and
Mr. Davis opposed It. gently and mod
erately, as if holding themselves in re
serve for the attack they knew would
follow. Mr. Colwell must have precipi
tated the general melee, for he declared
that "if any of our Republican brothers ,
had made a mistake, we ought by all
honorable means to help them."
"Just explain what you mean by 'hon
orable means." " interrupted Mr. Idle
man. Then the artillery began, which was
tmmed'ately followed by the cannonad
ing. Each faction accused the other of
being responsible for the result In June.
Person In the adjoining room crowded
to the door and packed themselves in a
position to bear. Mr. Kertchem was
recognized and beean an explanation of
"honorable means." He was interrupt
ed and took It good-naturedly for a time,
then, wearied of continued harassing,
announced It must cease. Many de
nounced Statement No. 1 as a "bunco
game."
"If the- voters of thla state sign a pe
tition urging the members of the legis
lature not to vote for a Democrat and
relieving them of any pledge they may
have taken, that will certainly be honor
able means." and he wns vigorously
cheered.
Good Time lor Reeall.
Mr. Moser urged that there was no
reason why a modified form of the re
call should not be enforced upon mem
bers' of the Legislature who may have
made a mistake by pledging themselves.
Conditions have changed, changed ma
terially, he Ciintended, since they were
elected, and this new recall law should
be put into practical use by the peop'e.
showing that they do not want a Demo
crat to represent a strongly Republican
state In the United States Senate.
Mr. Banks. Mr. Goldie. of Sellwood:
Mr. Idleman. Colonel Allen R. Joy and
many others participated in violent de
bates. From the medley of voices aged
Mr. Hume, of Se'.lwood. finally secured
the floor, and, with all the fervor of one
grown gray In tne belief of Repub
licanism, urged harmony.
"Have we not courage to take some
action In this matter?" he asked. "Why
waste our time In quarreling, when we
all agree that we do not want a Demo
cratic Senator. And if we did want a
Democrat to represent us. let us select
some one besides George E. Chamberlain.
1 knew lilm years ago in Linn County,
and 1 know he Is not of big enough cal
il.er to be a Senator. He Is a nice, con
vivial sort of fellow, but that's all there
is to him."
Others spoke and the chairman with
d rlicultv maintained order. Mr. Kert
c'eni Anally called upon Councilman
Wills, who had arrived late. Mr. Wills
created a sensation by bitterly assailing
Governot-ChamSerlaln ana making grave
charges against the chief executive of
the state. He prefaced his remarks with
a number of Jokes and then asked:
"But If we should send a Democrat,
why not send a decent one Instead of
a drunken one? From this time
on I declare myself to be in favor
of equal suffrage. I have so decided
because a woman was the first and only
person In this state who had the temer
ity to tell the truth about Governor
Chamberlain and tell of his maudlin,
drunken condition at Astoria.
"I firmly believe in submitting things
to the people, provided the people under
stand what they are voting for ana
what they are doing. Governor Cham
berlain I not fit to represent Oregon or
to represent any other state. Suppose
he'd get on one of his periodical "drunks
if we should s-nd him to Washington
Wouldn't he reflect ere lit on this slate.
He disgraced his state and office t As
toria. . .
"I mvself know of men who nave
taken him across the river to get him
awav while he was on the verge of
delirium tremens. I repeat If are
to have a Democrat, for God s sake let s
have a respectable one." . .
A number of others spoke, and Chair
man Gill at last requested Mr. Id.-man
to take the chair. He then made an
Impassioned appeal to the committee to
refrain from adopting such a resolution.
"Disguise it as we will and word the
resolution as we will." he exclamed.
"this slmplv means one thing the re
pudiation of Statement No. 1. "iou will
have vour linger- burned If you handle
it. ami I urge you to leave It alone."
The resolution which caused all the
debate and dissension, and which was
finallv adopted, follows:
Whereas, the indutrlal ar.d commercial
Interests of Orrjnn and the Nation will be
h.v nerved by tlie continuation of Bcpub.l

Hear Willi Surpeise That Present
Dump Is Breeillns Plnce for
Iliindreils of Knts.
Residents of the First ward met Thurs
day night in the Oregon building to con
sider the question of a firehouse for Wil
lamette Heights and to devise some means
of securing action on the matter of a garb
age crematory. Superintendent Daggett
attended the meeting and delivered a
talk. In which he explained the condi
tions at the crematory and offered a
number of suggestions for Improvement.
At the ronchwion of his remarks an
informal discussion of the question was
had. A committee of three was then
appointed to investigate the crematory
matter and report later to the organi
zation. Tne members chosen were:
Charles Conroy. X. J. Levinson and Dr.
Kenton. Lr. X. R. Cox was chosen per
manent chairman of the body. Mi. l.ev
liison was chosen secretary.
Mr. Daggett's talk on conditions at
the crematory aroused a great deal of
interest. The speaker declared that the
present plant Is entirely inadequate and
that the nnburned garbage on the dump
is a grave menace to the health of the
entire city. Said Mr. Daggett:
"No city ought to have a garbage
dump. There ought to be a plant here
that will dispose of all the rlty's garbage
Instead of having it accumulate and be
come a source of disease. Last year
there were 25.000 tons of rubbish on the
dump. At the present time we are
burning about 35 tons a day. This Is
much less than the amount collected.
In order to reduce the garbage to an ash
we ought really not to handle more than
25 tons.
"Another question with reference to
the city's garbage which residents ap
parently fall to appreciate is the fact
that this large amount of nnburned rub
bish Is the nbode of hundreds of rats.
At a time when San Francisco Is offering
25 cents for each disease-carrying rat it
would seem a decided lack of Judgment
for the people of thl3 city to allow these
rats to breed In the garbage dump.. There
are hundreds of these animals there, and
when the high water comes they are
obliged to go elsewhere, and of course
go to all parts of the city. My own
Idea is that two plants should be oper
ated, capable of handling ISO tons of
garbage dally. These could be built for
probably JlJO.POiV
C. W. Hodson was present at the meet
ing and told of the effort made by the
Commercial ' Club to inaugurate a cam
paign against tha rais. He was much
surprised at the revelations by Mr. Dag
gett of the fact that rats in large num
bers are existing on the garbage dump,
and declared that he believed if the fact
were generally known the people of tha
city would demand some action with re
gard to garbage disposal.
"While there was a good deal of ef
fort in the matter of cleaning up dur
ing the plague scare last Fall, nothing
apparently Is being done at the present
time in regard to the matter." be said.
"It goes to show that a difficulty of this
kind is forgotten when the menace ap
pears to be overcome. ' If some plan
could be devised whereby a private -corporation
can take over thts garbage dis
posal it would be a splendid thing."

FREE TRADE WITH

Most Natural, Rational and
Profitable thing to Do,
He Declares.

Between Dominion and United
States Mut Eventually
Move Unrestrained.
NEW .YORK. Nov. 20. In a distinctly
New World almoFphere, the 4'Jth annual
banquet of the New York Chamber of
Commerce was held last night in the Waldorf-Astoria.
Gilbert Stuart's famous
portrait of Washington, flanked on either
side by portraits of President Diaz, of
Mexico, and Premier Ijiurler. of Canada,
looked down upon the diners and the prin
cipal formal addresses dealt with the
l'nited States and her two neighbors on
the North American continent.
Advocates Free Trade.
The guests of honor were the British
Ambassador. James Hryee, Joseph Godey,
Mexican Charge d'Affaires at Washing
ton; Uvrun K. Walker and Clifford Kifton,
both of Canada, and Juntos J. Hill, the
railroad builder of tlie Northwest.
Calling attention to the close connec
tion between the histories of the United
States and Canada. J. J. Hill showed the
import!-nee of the trade between the two
countries and scored what he called the
police of mutual exclusion.
"What the commercial relations ought
to be." he said, "la indicated by their
parallel development am: the mingling of
their commerce. Without committing any
others here. I do not hesitate to declare
mv own opinion. I believe that the most
natural, the most rational, the most
highly profitable commercial status be
tween Canada and the United States is
absolute freedom of trade.
"That commerce must eventually move
unrestrained between these two peoples
Is self-evident. Why not strike off the
lvackica now and let it move freoly, in
stead of paying the heavy penalty of
delay? Protection has no meaning or
effect as applied by either one of these
countries against the other. The assump
tion of some fixed variation in the wage
level is nons?nsc. Men are free to come
and go. and New England at this mo
ment depends for her labor largely upon
her French-Canadian population. Wages
varv. Jiie-t as they vary between New
York and Colorado: but ' their average
under similar conditions is the same In
the two countries."
Predicts Huge Wheat Consumption.
Mr. Hill declared that by the middle of
this century the consumption of wheat
In this country would reach 1,300.000.000
bushels. The present production is only
one-half that amount. Whatever part of
the addition to this country's future food
supply came from the wheat fields of
the Northwestern country, lie argued,
should be allowed to flow unchecked to
the consumer.
Lietters of regret were read from Presi
dent Roosevelt. Governor Hughes and
Lord Grey. Governor-General of Canada.

NO DECREASE IN WAGES
Reduction Among Cotton Operatives
Has Been failed Off.
FALL. RIVER. Mass., Nov. 20. The
Fall River Cotton Manufacturers' Associa
tion announced tonight that no reduc

change of plan benefits 25,000 operatives
of this city directly, and thousands of
others in nearby textile centers Indirectly.
A reduction of IS per cent In wages was
made last May. From that time until
October the margin between the cost of
cotton and the selling price of cloth, upon
which the wage scale is based, fell off.
Business has improved recently and in
view of the severe cut made in the Spring,
the mill-owners decided not to enforce
the agreement to the letter.
All agreementa are based upon the

BERLIN, Nov. 2n. A special dispatch
from Teheran to the Lokal Anzeieer says
that the clergy and merchants held sep

The Shah became exceedingly angry

means the definite abolition of the con

Great Britain and Russia will compal

WASHINGTON. Nov. 20.-Judge
George B. Davis. Judge-Advocate of the

the Secretary of War that saloons near
Army posts are highly detrimental to

HOT "PARTY" ISSUES
Butler Calls for Settlement of
Vital Problems.
TRUSTS, RAILROADS, MONEY J
Beverldge Denounces Sectionalism,
North and South, and Says Ex
pert Commission Alone Can
Settle Tariff Question.
KANSAS CITT. Mo.. Nov. 20. Dr.
Nicholas Murray Butler, president of
Columbia University, speaking last night
at the annual dinner of the Kansas City
Commercial Club, declared that the
great questions of banking and currency
and of pe regulation of the transporta
tion systems ' of the country and of
trusts were not properly a "matter for
partisan exploitation or for party differ
ences. These questions, he said, could
not be solved by rhetoric or in passion,
but only by intelligent, solicitous study
and reflection.
"It Is the first duty of the patriotic
and intelligent business interests of the
country," said Dr. Butler, "to apply
themselves- to the task of settling the
questions in which politics and business
border so closely upon each other."
Dr. Butler and Senator Beverldge, of
Indiana, were the guests of honor at the
annual dinner of the club held in com
memoration of the signing of the John
Jay commercial treaty.
Sectionalism Subtle Danger.
Mr. Beveridge said all sectionalism
should be abolished and referring to the
North and South said:
There is no more sense In a solid South
and a solid North than there ws in ta
clan divisions of Scotland 500 years ago.
Sectional lines based on the heredity of
prejudice are a more subtle danger than
most of the conventional perils which we
fear.
The time has come for this condition to
pass away. Let every section of this coun
try solve its local problems for itself, but
upon National problems let every section
act not as a section but as a part of the
Nation. It Is absurd that New England
should have a traditional allegiance to the
Hepubliean party and that the South should
be under a traditional mortgao to the
Democratic party.
Speaking for the creation of a tariff
commission, Mr. Beveridge said:
Need Tariff Commission.
As our tariffs have heretofore been con
structed by both parties, they have been un
seientiflc and crude. Nothing hut our great
natural resources, utterly overshadowing
those of other nations, have saved our for
eign trade from extinction. We are shamed
bv the fact that comparatively Germany
Bells today ten finished manufactured arti
cles abroad where we sell one. Germany
has been able to do this chiefly by her
double tariff system. This she bullded by
having an expert commission solve the ques
tion. A wide tariff law cannot be struck off
by men not students of the question work
ing for a few weeks without trying aptitude
for their work. The demand of the busi
ness and producing Interests of the United
States for a modern tariff commission can
not longer be Irnored.

KANSAS CITY. Mo., Nov. 20 At the

THE VIGTR0LA
It is a Victor Talking Machine, vastly improved.
It contains no horn; it is an artistic and harmonizing riece of
furniture, beautifully constructed of mahogany.
In appearance it resembles a music cabinet, which in part it is,
for it not only plays as a Victor plays, but in addition provides storage
room for scores of records.
The Victrola, among talking machines, occupies
the same position as the Steinway among pianos.
The Victrola is the Victor complete the Victor idealized the per

It costs more than the ordinary Victor, because it is worth more,
because it is more aplete, because the tone is finer and easier regu
lated, and less mechanical.
If you can afford' the very best, the Victrola is the only instrument
to buy. There is no question triout it.
