on Committees.
KEEN WATCH ON EXPENSES

ural Resources Have Commit-
tee .Xew Men on Canal.
WASHINGTON. March 22. Much dis
satisfaction was evinced In the Repub
lican Senatorial caucus today over the
committee assignments. Scott particular
ly objected to the manner In which the
vacancies on the finance committee had
been filled. In a speech he called atten
tion to the fact that New England was
abundantly represented and that the
West had been well taken care of, but
declared that the South Central states,
which had Republican representation,
such as West Virginia. Kentucky and
Missouri, had been ignored.
He suggested that the course pursued
liy the Republican leaders in the Senate
might drive these states into the Demo
cratic column. Referring to the fact that
lie always had been identified with the
Republican leadership in the Senate, he
Baid. that heretofore, "when they took
snuff. 1 sneezed, but that from this time
on he intended to act with more inde
pendence. Two liig Xew Committees.

NEW YORK, March 22. (Spe

political parties on the island.
The new administration began
with a quarrel between Zayas
and President Gomez, which, it
was reported, would result in
the resignation of Zayas. The
cause of his anger with the
President was the appointment
of Ricardo Arnauto to be head
of the secret police. Zayas did
not resign, but he and the
President are not on the best
terms, and it would not surprise
any one if there was an open

PRICE OP, IF TARIFF IS CUT
ABERDEEN SAWMILL MAN HAS
XEW ARGCMEXT.
Higher Prices Must Be Asked for
Better Grades of Lumber to
Make Profit.
ABERDEEN, Wash.. March 22. (Spe
cial.) "In my judgment the old duty on
lumber will be retained, because it Is
Just," said W. B. Mack, manager of th
Slade Mill Company's Interests, this
morning.
"The effect of placing lumber on the
free list. Instead of cheapening it to the
consumer, will have a tendency to raise
the price, that is. on the bulk of lumber
shipped from the Coast. The price of
stumpage will not be reduced, as the
bulk of it Is in strong hands, and while
commomn grades will doubtless be re
duced in price, causing the coarser or
rougher logs as well as the smaller' ones
to be left in the woods, the cost of log
ging will be increased.
"In order for the mills to get 100 cents
on the dollar, they w,ill sell common lum
ber at cost or at the best obtainable
price, as there is always a surplus of
the stock in the market, and they will
have to ask and receive a correspond
ingly higher price on the upper grades,
that are always in active demand.
"The custailing of production made
necessary during the process of reorgani
zation will cause a severe shortage In
high-grade lumber, and higher prices
will naturally prevail. The coastwise
markets, Califo'rnia particularly, would
be badly demoralized for a time, as a
lot of riffraff or random lumber; un
saleable in the Eastern market or in th
Toreign trade, will be dumped into the
California market, thus adding to an al
ready demoralized condition.
"It will also help to demoralize and
practically paralyze the shipping trade
as it at present exists on the harbor to
coastwise points, inasmuch as the tim
ber from British Columbia ports will be
dumped into the California market on
tramp steamers, which will cruise and
make their way aid thrive, while Ameri
can vessels would rot at the wharves."

BY BHD BLUNDERS

r .
CLARK SOUGHT TO DICTATE
Divided His Forces by Insult to Fitz
gerald and Misrepresenting Deal
' With Insurg-ents. Had
Xo Plan Ready.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington March 22 The Republican in
surgents in the House of Representa
tives and their allies, the Democrats,
lost their fight for the revision of tha
House rules for two reasons: Thev
lacked Intelligent leadership, and they
had no practical plan of revision to
propose. Had" they been led by some
master hand .and had they offered to
the House some tangible, sensible mod
ification of the old rules, they would
have carried the day, for it was demon
strated that they had the votes to de
feat the Cannon forces. But when they
muddled affairs, and stirred up strife
In their own camp, and when Fitzger
ald of New York, a Democratic believer
In revision, came forward with a defi
nite plan for revising the rules, the
Democrats divided and enough of them
joined the Cannon forces to utterly
rout the Insurgent band and the bulk
of their Democratic cohorts, and the
old leaders sustained a substantial vic
tory. Showed Their Incompetence.,
The very ,fact that the revisionists
had won their fight then threw away
their victory was strong evidence that
the men leading the clamor against
Cannon were Incompetent to under
take to revise the rules. And the situ
ation which they themselves brought
about was ample Justification for Re
publicans who stood by Cannon and his
leaders. The insurgents were for riot
and disorder and. had they carried the
day, the House of Representatives
would have become a mob; disorder
and riot would have been rampant,
and business. Instead of being facilita
ted, would have beert hindered. The
anti-Cannon men were not equal to
the job they had undertaken,
When the real attitude of the allied
forces was shown up in the debate on
rules, it was found that the Republi
can Insurgents-were clamoring to take
from the Speaker the right to appoint
the House committees, but were willing
to have committees made up by a spe
cial committee of 15. chosen by Champ
Clark, the minority leader. Clark, of
course, had chosen a "packed" commit
tee which he could dominate. Thus it
became known that the Insurgents were
really trying to transfer to the mi
nority leader the right .to make com
mittee assignments in the House a
most unheard-of thing in parliamen
tary procedure
Clark Divided Own Forces.
- The scheme would have been bad
enough under any circumstances, but
the fight showed up Clark, the minority
leader, in a very poor light. Clark
came out of that fight with less credit
than any other many who participated.
He demonstrated his own utter lack
of fitness for party leadership, for he
himself, in the midst of the struggle,
created a breach in the Democratic
lineup, which resulted in giving the
Cannon forces more than enough sup
port to defeat the insurgent move
ment. Clark not only snubbed, but In
sulted the brightest man en the Dem
ocratic side of the House, and that in
sult was resented by all of Fitzger
ald's friends. VHad Clark been even a
reasonably shrewd leader, he would
not have divided his forces in the midst
of a contest.
But Clark made other tactical mis
takes. He declared that the Repub
lican Insurgents had entered into a
hide-bound agreement to act solidly
with the Democrats first, last and all
the time. When cross-questioned on
this point, he reiterated his statement.
That admission placed the Republican
insurgents on a plane with the Demo
crats in effect, made them Demo
crats. It was more than they could
stand, and "Gussie" Gardner, one of
their leaders, was forced to deny
Clark's statement and to assert that
the agreement did not reach beyond the
fight on the rules. When Gardner made
this fling, he drove other Democrats
to the support of Fitzgerald.
While Clark was ostensibly the lead
er of the combined movement against
the old House rules, Gardner of Massa
chusetts was looked upon as leader of
the little insurgent band. Gardner is
about as well equipped to lead any
movement as any man addressed by his
colleagues as "Gussie.v He Is all that
the name "Gussie" implies, and his
name is really "Augustus." What
Gardner does not know about the House
rules and what he does not know about
leading an Insurgent band would fill
a very large volume. He Is perhaps
competent to lead a cotillion or conduct
a debate In a sewing circle of maiden
ladies, but in a fight with trained men.
he is hopeless impossible.
The very fact that the Insurgents
and the Democrats combined had a ma
jority of four in the entire House and
had used this majority to vote down the
old rules was reason enough why they
should have proposed and adopted new
rules. But when the crisis came, they
had no new rules to propose: they had
nothing to propose except delay, and
they made a mess in proposing even
that. y
All of which merely goes to show the
type of men who have raised the hue
and cry against the Cannon forces in
the House of Representatives. They
wanted something different, but not a
man among them knew Just what he
wnnted.
