OREGON! AX XETVS BTREAC, Wash
ington. Nor. 14. The Speakership of
the National House of Representatives
fcas Ions been the second most Impor
tant office In the United Stales Gov
ernment, measured by the power of the
Incumbent. The President alone has
Bad greater power than the presiding
officer of the House of Representatives.
With the passing of Speaker Cannon,
the high office be now holds will drop
from Us exacted position and take rank
below the Vlpe-Presldency. which Is
rated after all the Cabinet portfolios,
rare In one respect, viz: that the Vlce
iTesldent fcecorocs President In the
event of the dath or disability of the
fceai of the Nation.
I'hinp Clark, of Missouri, therefore,
erhea he becomes Speaker of the next
House, will not be the conspicuous nor
the powerful factor that Joseph G. Can
Bon has been under the Republican re
adme. He wl!l be to the House exactly
sjrhat the Vice-President ! to the Sen
ate, a presiding; officer and nothing
snore. For a situation has arisen which
' will trtn about th f irther amend
ment of the rules of the House; amend
ment wl.i-h will deprive the Speaker
of the powers that hxve made past In
cumbents of that office mlrhty. And
Clark has been forced by circumstances
to declare In faror of those Identical
amendments. To do . otherwise now
cjH be to deprive himself of the
Fpeakershlp.
Too Late to Draw Back.
ChaTp Clark Is not the shrewdest
ro'ltirtan In the House of Representa
tives nor the most far-sighted. Had he
been, he would not have formed the al
liance he did with the Republican In
surgents at the beriming of the pres
ent Congress to rob the Spek-r of his
power and generally reorganize the
House rules. Rut when the Insurgents
e'arted tfcelr f'ght on Cannon. Clark
thought he saw a splerdM opportunity
to put the Republican orvanlzatlon ln
bad" and Incidentally make political
capital for t::e Itemocrats. so he lined
tn the Democratic merrbers of the
lloute. al!lel t.iem with the Insurgents.
sn1 went afer Ca.-inn. When the
f'ght waa half won and when the
Er-eaicrr had been taken off the com
xr.tttee on rules. Clark beran to realise
that the Democrats stood a mighty
good frame of carrying the next House
ef Representatives arid, once that Idea
percolated through his brain, he lost
all Interest In tne further revision of
the Flouse rules particularly revision
which would take away the remaining
power of the Speaker. The Insurgents
wanted to go ahead and finish up
writ Itifr hsd started, for with solid
7emocrat!c. support thev had enough
Totes even to oust Cannon from the
Fpesker's rhalr. but Clark refused to
b:dg. and reform stopped In the mid
dle of the past session.
It turns out. however, that Clark did
not stop soon enough: he started some
thing which he must now follow to
the very end; he cannot turn back,
though lie would. For Clark has
learned very recently that In order to
land the Speakership of the next House
lie must proceed with the revision of
the rules, take away from the Speaker
the power of appointing committees,
and otherwise rob that officer of his
distinctive powers not already shorn by
the Insurgents. This Is because : lany
of the Democrats who followed Clark
when he first lined up with the Insur
gents are now thoroughly Imbued with
the Idea that the Speaker of the House
must be nothing more than a presiding
officer and. unless Clark is willing to
amend the rules according to the orig
inal programme, he cannot hava the
support of these Democrats for tut
Speakership.
Cannon May Oct Revenge.
This Is another case where eMeirens
kave come borne to roost. Clark In the
Past session joined with the insurgents
to make Speaker Cannon a mere figure
head, now Clark must agree, npon en
tering the Speaker's chair, to be noth
ing more than a figurehead, or else
these same Insurgents with whom he
formed an alliance a year ago will Join
with "progressive Democrats' and pre
. Vent Clark's election as Speaker.
Should Clark now balk at carrying
out the plan of revising the House
rules, he probably would nnd arrayed
against him not only a considerable
element of the Democratic membership
ef the House and tue Republican In
surgents, but a very large scattering
of regular Republicans, who. for spite,
would take great glee In demolishing
the remaining power of the Speaker,
Inasmuch as the next Speaker Is to be
a Democrat. Probably "Uncle Joe" Can
non, as a mere member of the floor of
the House, would lend himself to such
a scheme, now that It Is certain he
ran never again be Speaker of the
House.
Rivals Appear on Scene.
It so happens that Clark. In the clos
ing days of the campaign awoke to
the fact that he must advocate fur
ther revision of the House rules In
order to Insure his Own election as
Speaker. He discovered other Demo
crats ready to lay claim to ths Speak
ership In rase he did not take such a
etar.d. and evidently be feared that
some one among them might defeat
Mm In the Democratic caucus If he re
fused to stand by the principles he
laid down while fighting Cannon. So
he ras declared himself for further re
vision of the rules, for the further cur
tailment of the power of the Speaker,
and for the distribution of committee
places by the members of the House
rather thsn by the Speaker. Vnder
such circumstances Clark will derive
no such satisfaction out of the office
as fell to the lot of Cannon. Hender
son. Reed and Crisp. Ths Speakership,
after March . will be a comparatively
wnlmportaat office, so far as power
and authority are concerned.
It Is barely possible that the com
pletion of the task of revising ths
Hons rales may be accomplished dur
ing ths short session by combined
Democratic and Insurgent votes: It Is
quite possible that Clark himself may
favor tMs plan. Then, when the Demo
cratic House organises In December,
ltl. It need only readopt the rules
that' prevailed during the short terra
cf the present Congress and spare

Deschutes Irrigation Power Co.
The Water Users Association, the
company and A. M. Drake, of' Bend,
were all represented by attorneys.
The Irrigation Company requested that
the time of completing the contract as
to lands In segregation No. 6 be ex
tended until February. 113. and the
time for completing the contract as to
lands on segregation 19 bo extended
until October IT. IS 15.
Interest Date Change -Asked.
It was also asked that the interest
on Hens should begin at the date the
lands are approved for sale by the
Board Instead of the date when the
proof Is submitted on application for
patent. Amendment of the contract In
relation to the reservoir project was
asked to extend until nine months
after the granting of the application
by the Department of the Interior. In
order to allow time for a topographic
survey. ,
Among other things requested by
the company Is that sales be allowed
In advance of approval by the Board
upon the company furnishing the bond
to construct ditches to ths land sold.
A. M. Drake, of Bend, made protest
against some of the requests of ths
company, particularly -as to extension
of time on contracts relative to the
lenregatlons. and he also asked that
the Board definitely determine wbat
work has been done by the company
and what water rlghta have been
earned and desires that the Board en
ter Into a new contract on the strength
of this Information and submit It to
the protestant for Inspection. Drake
also urges that In any modification of
the contract particular effort be made
to see that there are no changes
which will allow speculators to deal
tn the properties a ad asks that only
bona-flde settlers be allowed privi
leges to purchase land under the con
tract. The water users asked the Board to
require ths company to construct Im
mediately the North Canal under exist
ing contracts, and also asked for ths
Immediate repair ef several breaks.
Water TTsers Ralae Objecttoaa.
Objections are made by the water
users to sales of land to settlers until
water la actually available to be
placed on the land for crop purposes,
and the Board Is asked to take steps
to protect tie settler In his water right
and refuse to allow Hens or privileges
to attach la favor of contractors
where there Is doubt of the water
right, so as to avoid complications and
litigation for the water users.
Xaa protest consumed, so DKa Of

arguments In connection with them,

Drake Is principally Interested be
cause of a power site at Bend. He
claims a prior right on water appro

the river past Bend for power pur
poses. He claims he Is entitled to this
under original 000118018 when hs dis

Reasons for a Parcel Post.
ASHLAND. Or., Nov. 13. (To the
Editor.) A statement printed In The
Oregonlan of last' Thursday on "Raising
Postal Rates'" Is certainly praise
worthy, especially as to the parcel post.
There Is no legislation that would ben
efit whole people so much as a gen
eral parcel post. It would not only
be a convenience to the public, but
would cut a considerable slice off the
high cost of living.
Mr. Wanamaker's "four reasons" why
we can not have parcel post Is not
complimentary to our Representatives
in Congress, knowing, as they do, that
the people want and need it.
