SETTLE TROUBLE HOMESTEAD RULE CURRENCY DEBATE WITH UNITED STAIUS E LESS IS BEGUN IN HOUSE Requirement as to Cultivation Modified When Good Faith Is Proved. Glass Defends Bill, Hayes Sees Some Good in It, Mur dock Is Critical. 10 NIGHT SESSIONS COMING Republican Opposition Based on Contention That Banks Do Not Receive Inducements to En ter Into System. WASHINGTON Sept. 10. Oratorical display prior to the passage of the Ad ministration currency bill through the House began today with a series of speeches lor and against the measure. The general discussion will continue ' throughout day and night sessions of the' House until Saturday night. The bill will be taken up in detail next week. Chairman Glass, of the banking and currency committee, father of the bill; Representative Hayes, of California, ranking member of the committee, and Representative Murdock, of Kansas, Progressive floor-leader, opened the debate for their respective parties. Chairman Glass presented the bill as a positive effort to cure the financial ills of the country. Representative Hayes admitted the value of some or the bill's provisions and Representative Murdock criticised the measure as "halting, timid, half-way, compro mising. Bill Claused as Sedative. "To a Nation crying for relief." he declared, "it offers not a remedy but a palliative; it prescribes cocaine, not a cure. It has changed some of the formulae by which the predatory pow. era prey upon the people, but It has not challenged directly the malignant methods which put these powers be yond the reach of all feeble legislation. As a well-intentioned effort to bring elasticity to the currency, the Glass bill invites Indorsement. Even If it brings elasticity, its enactment will not quiet the public demand for cor rection of the real source of the trouble Wall street." The greater part of today's Repub lican opposition to the bill, voiced by Representative Hayes and Representa tive Dyer, of Missouri, was based on the provisions of the measure requir ing that National banks subscribe 20 per cent of their capital stock and t per cent of their deposits aa a fund to capitalize the Federal reserve banks. Reran Declared Inadequate. The return on this Investment 5 per cent under the bill the Republicans di-clared. was not sufficient profit to Induce the banks to enter the system. The broad powers of the Federal re serve board and its "partisan political complexion" also were criticised. Chairman Glass replied that opposi tion to the bill by bankers was caused by the fact that the bill would sever the relations between banks and stock gambling. "The whole fight of the great bank ers is to drive us from our firm re solve to break down the artificial con nection between the banking business of this country and the stock specula tive operations in the moriey centers," he said. "The real opposition to this bill is not as to Government control, on which we shall never yield; It is not as to the capital subscription re quired, which is precisely that of the Aldrlch scheme unanimously Indorsed by the American Bankers' Association: It is not as to the 6 per cent dividend allowed member banks, the exact limit prescribed in the Aldrlch bill; It Is not as to compulsory membership, which I was provided in another way In the Aldrlch scheme; it Is not as to the bond-refunding proposition. Infinitely simpler and less extensive than the Aldrlch device. "It is none of these things which vexes the big bankers. It Is a loss of profits derived from a system which makes them the legal custodians of all the reserve funds of the country. $240, 000.000 of which funds on the 24th day of November, 1912, they had put Into the maelstrom of Wall street stock operations."

OTI.MPIA. Wash., Sept 10. (Special.) The law placing a state tax on all express companies of 6 per cent of their gross revenues on state business was pronounced Invalid yesterday by Judge John R. Mitchell of the Thurston Coun ty Superior Court, in which the state had started suit to collect from the Great Northern and Northern Express Companies, which had refused to pay their 1912 tax. Judge Mitchell's decision was based on recent decisions of the United States Supreme Court, the court being of the opinion that the state tax amounted to an interference with interstate com merce. He also deslgnted it a form ot double taxation, since the express com panies are, in addition, taxed locally. The state will appeal to the Supreme Court. BOND ISSUE IS FAVORED Petitions to Ask Court to Call Elec tion Ordered. At a conference between the County Court of Columbia County and mem bers of the committee appointed to get names to petitions asking the court to call an election for a bond issue to build the Columbia River highway, held in St. Helens yesterday, it was decided to draw up the petitions and begin circulating them today. George M. McBrlde. an attorney of St. Helens, is chalrman of the petitions committee. He said last night that the campaign for names would go forward vigor ously. "I think we can have the petitions In the hands of the court within a DE ZAMACONA. week," said Mr. McBrlde. "Sentiment for the highway is very strong, men will be sent out through the county with the petitions tomorrow. One cir culator i will work in Rainier, one in Clatskanle, one in St. Helens and prob ably two in other parts of the county.'." At the conference with the court the decision was reached to have the petitions call for a bond election to build two main trunk roads through the county, either of which may eventually be designated as the Co lumbia River highway by the State Highway Commission. The route or one of these roads is down the river bank, through the towns of St. Helens, Rainier and Clatskanle, as roughly 1 1 I nm th. Viiltnnmnh t n the Clatsop 'county line. The other road is to be constructed down tne XNenaiem Vailey. The petitions also provide for two cross-roads connecting the main highways. The attitude of tne (JOiumDia county Court is understood to be highly fa- n..kl. n .ha nrnirt Tfl TUlt the Call ing of the bond Issue legally within the jurisdiction of the court, the names of only 5 per cent of the voters are necessary to the petitions. That the court might have immediate Jurisdic tion to take the steps that will enable the building or tne roaos to oegm a.i the earliest moment is the reason for haste in circulating the petitions.
