LEADERS DISCUSS WOOL
FLA.V TO PUT "PROGRESSIVES
OX RECORD IS CXDER WAV.
Regular Republicans Urged to Pre
pare Measure by Time Drrao
,' era tic Bill Is Read v.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. A wool bill,
framed according- ta President Taft's
recommendations on the tariff bpard
report on Schedule K. will be prepared
by th House Republicans on the ways
and means committee. m Republican
leaders In the Senate who have simi
lar plans suggested today that tbe Sen
ate and House Republicans get to
gether during the Christmas recess and
have a bill ready by the time the Dem
ocrats have a measure ready to report.
Regular Republicans in the Senat
say tbey would frame a bill that would
put Ui Issue of protection clearly up
to the "progressives" and force them
on record. The "progressive" leaders
retorted, that they were already on rec
ord for'a protective duty equal to tbe
difference between cost of production
here and abroad.
Some of the Semite leaders professed
great concern as to where the "pro
gressives" would stand on the Dem
ocratic wool bill, which is sure to
come over from the House. The gen
eral opinion seemed to be that the "pro
gressive" Republicans would take their
choice of th two measures and use
th strength which a merger with the
Democrats would giv them to fore
amendments to the Republican bilL
"Progressiva" leaders say they are de
sirous of revising Schedule K at this
session of Congress and they promise
to us all th practloes known to Sen
ate tactics to do It.
It seems agTeed that the "progres
sives" will take no step In framing a
measure now.

tt Umatilla rroject Would Be
First to Be Recognised Help
Needed Chiefly to Secure
Passage In House.
OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Dec 21. The Borah bill, au
thorising an additional loan of $16,000.
000 to the reclamation fund, if it be
comes a law, will open the way for
tha final adoption and construction of
the West Umatilla Irrigation project
In Oreirnn. And that Is one of the
main objects which Prnator Borah had
In mind In drafting his measure, whlcR
will be Introduced as soon aa Con
gress convenes.
While It unquestionably is true thst
moneys sufficient to build this project
might readily ba allotted from the 120.
000.000 fund now In hand, it Is recog
nised thst any attempt to divert money
from allotments to other states In
order to swell the allotment to Oregon
would bs stoutly resisted by Senators
and Representatives from the states
affected, and It would require a great
deal of pressure from the Oregon dele
gation to overcome this opposition
more pressure, probably, than tbe pres
ent delegation could exert.
Support ef West Assured.
The Borah bill, on the other hand,
offers a method which would meet with
no opposition whatever from other
Western states, but would receive their
support, for It would enable the Presi
dent to provide In full for the con
struction of the West Umatilla project,
and at the same time make additional
allotments for the more promising pro
jects which have not yet received suffi
cient apportionments to Insure their
completion. Every state In the West
would favor the Borah plan, for even
the states which require no additional
funds would be willing to support this
bill In order to safeguard allotments
made to them out oX the 120,000,000
fund.
President Taft, to whom are en
trusted the duty and responsibility of
allotting the JSO.000.000 fund, and who
also would be authorised to allot the
additional $15,000,000, Is now fully
aware of the equity of Oregon's claim
for greater apportionment of moneys
from the reclamation fund. He Is
cognisant of the fact that Oregon has
been grossly discriminated against In
the past, and la entitled to Immediate
recognition at the hands of the Gov
ernments With an additional 115.000.
000 at his disposal, the President could
square accounts with Oregon, and
satisfy the claim of the state for fair
and impartial treatment.
The fact that tbe Army Board re
ported adversely on the proposal to un
dertake the construction of the West
Umatilla project out of the $20,000,000
fund, while admitting the feasibility
and desirability of the project, from
both an engineering and a business
standpoint, makes it absolutely certain
that this would be the first project
recognized, should an additional fund
be made available by Congress, and
unquestionably such an allotment could
and would be made without further in
vestigation by the Board.
House Real Bartleajrouad.
But the Introduction of a bill such
as that prepared by Senator Borah, and
Its final passage, are two different
things. That It will pass the Senate
without serious difficulty goes with
out saying, for It is backed by one of
the most aggressive and one of th
most successful legislators in the Ben
ate. Moreover, being a bill that will af
fect the entire West, th bill Imme
diately will command the support of
practically every Western Senator, and
on such a question the East will not
undertake to thwart th will of the
West In the -Senate.
The great difficulty will be encoun
tered when the bill reaches the House
of Representatives, where setttlment is
none too favorable towards legislation
looking to the promotion of Govern
ment Irrigation work in the West. Th
$20,000,000 bill was forced through the
House against the very determined op
position of Speaker Cannon and his
satellites, and It was only when Presi
dent Taft brought them to time that
they finally relented and allowed th
bill to come to a vote. And even fhen
It would not hav passed except for the
very thorough canvassing done by the
President among the Eastern members.
In the present House Cannon la not
a big factor, but Champ Clark and the
Democratic leaders are determined to
make a record for economy, and those
of them who are not well informed on
the provisions of th Borah bill will
be inclined to oppose It. on the assump
tion that they are preventing a heavy
drain upon the Treasury. And It Is Just
here that the Oregon delegation can
help th Borah bill towards passage.
Federal Treasury Not Mulcted.
Th bill, as has previously been ex
plained, does not appropriate a single
cent out of th Federal Treasury; it
merely authorlxes the loan of $15,000,
000 from the funds In the Treasury,
this loan to be reimbursable and to bear
Interest at the rat of 2 per cent.
Therefore, In effect, the bill will In
crease the fund In the Treasury. More
over, If It should develop that the loan
to h reclamation fund should cause
a shortage of funds in the Treasury,
the Secretary of the -Treasury will be
authorized to Issue certificates of In
debtedness, equivalent In every respect
to Government bonds, and the sale of
certificates will offset the loan, the cr
t If lea tea to be retired as the loan Is
repaid.
It Is in educating members of the
House that th Oregon delegation can
do its most effectlv work. Senator
Chamberlain, a Democrat, will be In a
position to appeal directly to Speaker
Clark and the recognized Democratic
leaders: Senator Bourne should be able
tb do effective work among the insur
gent Republicans and among his Demo
cratic sympathizers, and th two Ore
gon Representatives, being constantly
In the House, will be In a position to
do much effective missionary wort
They will not be alone. They will have
assistance from other Western Sena
tors and Representatives. But this bill
means more to Oregon than to other
states, and therefore it 1 Incumbent

sentatives to take a leading position
