THE SfORXIXG OREGOXIAX. TUESDAY APRIL 25, 1911. UN ON IS IN CIVIL FORMED SERVICE City Employes of Seattle Pre sent Plans to Dubious Officials. YOKE GALLING, THEY SAY 'rmrrt of Constitution Provide for w Rule That Would Render OommisMon Cseless and Helpless. SEATTLE. Wuh. April J4. (fa cial.) Civil service employes of Seattla hate Inaugurated an Insurrection. They would reconstruct tha civil service rules so that they would be in charge rf their own destinies, to the end that the opinions of superior officers and rlvli service commissioners shall be without avail. Seriously they have labored to this end. and have brought forth a pre amble, article and a constitution, with accompanying; bylaws, by which self-reculatlon Is provided, the means for advancement outlined and the pos sibility of dismissal safeguarded. The civil service commission Is relegated the arnrret. merit promotions frowne upon and the tenure of office alone 1 to be made the srrounds for advance ment. If a member of the order should be discharged they want the stifflcienc of (-round for that discharge duly con sldered bv the executive committee i report made to the general council upon the ftndlnir. All these matters came up at a meet Ins; In the Mayor's office this morn Ins;, when the promoters of the scheme ap reared to have the official sanction p'.ared on the scheme. Mayor Dllllns; and the heads of the various departments were called Into the conference to hear the proposition explained. All could not attend, bu Superintendent Ross, of the llaht de rartment: Superintendent Valentine, of the utilities department: Pr. Crlchton of the health department, and Superin tendent Waiters, of the street depart ment, were on hand and endeavored to throw a wet blanket on the scheme. REGULARS PLAN TO BLOCK Tnnttnaed From F1r.t Pace posed by the President. Cummins fore saw an attempt on the part of the standpatters to prevent revision in this manner, and proposed to amend the rules so that when a bill proposing- to amend a single schedule Is brought in. no amendments can be pro posed except such as amend that par ticular schedule. The Senate, how amendment, for Democrats as well as Republicans will oppose It. There fore it is not likely that any way ran be found to confine the Senate to re vision schedule by schedule. The combination plan, spoken above, may be attempted, or it may be de cided to resort to other tactics to kill oft the scheme of revision suggested by the Democratic House. But It is very certain that a most interesting situation is going to develop before the session closes, and it will be dif ficult to rob the Democratic House of the political capital it seeks to make by Its tariff record, no matter what the Senate ultimately may do. The Demo cratic House managers have played pretty clever .politics thus far. and they bid fair to bother the wise ones of the Senate before they get through.

' n -n.tr,. n r.rmer of Sara, "had moved ARCH SPANNING STREET OF OREGON TOWN BIDS WELCOME TO COLONISTS. the plans of wise men do not always work out as their originators expect, and it may be that the proposal to combine all House tariff bills. In the hope of preventing the passage of any, may result differently from what the X-romoters of the scheme contemplate. One thing la sure; any such plan thla will greatly prolong the session of Congress, possibly right up to Decem ber 4. But no matter how long it runs. there la always a possibility that a general tariff revision bin. with or without Canadian reciprocity as a fea ture, might get through the Senate, and the Senate would be badly fooled If It expected the Democratic House to reject such a MIL If the finance mmmllt of the Sen ate should report a general revision bltl. it would have to make a revision rlownward. Not more than three Sena tors would have the temerity at this time to raise the rates of the existing law. Therefore, from a Democratic standpoint, any general tariff revision which lessened the rates of duty fixed by the Payne-Aldrlch law would be a step In the right direction, and while the reductions generally might not be as great as proposed or favored by the House, the Democratic House unques tionably would accept the Senate bill, on the theory that half a loaf is better ts.sn none. Therefore there Is danger in the plan proposed provided there Is ny possibility of getting a vote In the Senate on a bill generally reduc ing the Payne-Aldrlrh rates. Iianger in Standpatters' Way Of course the object of Senators pro posing the combination of the House bills is to report to the Senate a bill which will provoke so much opposition mo to make Its passage Impossible. They feel that they can make reductiona on Southern products that will force Southern Senators to oppose the bill: ran reduce the rates on New England manufactured articles to a point where all New England Senators must vote la the negative, and reduce the rates on farm products so that the Senators from the great agricultural states of the West must oppose the measure. And there Is no question but that the finance committee can do thla very thing. But once such a bill gets before the Senate. It will be opened not only to unlimited discussion but to unlimited amendment, and if it should transpire that a majority of the Senate favors general revision of the tariff and a general lowering of duties, the bill re ported might be amended Into such frm that It would receive the indorse ment of a majority of the Senate, and t':en there would be trouble the in stant that majority had a chance to te. Insurgents May lie Mollified. A number of Insurgent Senators are opposed to Canadian reciprocity, who base their objection on the ground that Canadian reciprocity win hurt the American farmer. But If the tariff can. be revised generally so as to give the farmer benefits he does not receive ttnier the Payne-Aldrtrh law. and If these Senators can show that they feave helped the farmer In other direc tions sufficiently to offset any Injury he might receive, according to their theory, under the Canadian reciprocity agreement, these insurgent Senators probably would vote, not only for fur ther general revision of the tariff, but for Canadian reciprocity as well. The old Senate leaner who are talking of bunching the House bills will play with fire if they attempt to carry tv.rough the plan they have In contem plation. They may live to see the day when the lemocrattc minority, com bining wtth the Republican Insurgents, constitute a majority of the Senate favorable to tariff revision, and if this situation is brought about, it will be tip to the opponents of tariff tinkering to Institute a protracted filibuster, and there Is some donbt If a filibuster could succeed In a session that has no limit, especially when It mtght merge with t:-.e regular session, which In turn Is without limit. The Senate unquestionably will reject the Cummins suggestion to amend the rules so as to permit revision of the SHER I pi a SIIFRIOAX STRl'CTVRK WHICH GREETS SEWTOMERJ. SHERIDAN. Or. April 54.

The greatest gain. 303.000. was in New South Wales, followed by Vic toria with 127.OO0. The upper portion of our old building on Washington street will be entirely vacated by Wednesday night. Every one of the grand pianos, every player piano, making talking machines and numerous other instruments now in that part of the building must' find homes. The unforeseen delay in the finishing of our new building at Seventh and Alder makes drastic methods necessary. The incoming tenant of the old store is frantic to get possession. That is why we are vacating a portion at a time. That is why prices on high-grade instruments have been reduced v to unheard of littleness. That is why 22 pianos were sold yes terday, following day after day of ever-increasing selling records. Doesn't this prove conclusively the honesty of our advertising, as well as the confidence of the people in the business integrity of the Eilers Music House? If you intend to buy a piano, a player piano, a baby grand, a talk ing machine or an organ, all we ask is that you call today or tonight and decide for yourself if this great closing-out sale is not the greatest opportunity you have ever been offered to obtain the right kind of an instrument at a big round saving. Remember, it's Eilers Music House, still at 353 Washington street, but soon at Seventh and Alder.
