TOLLS ARBITRATION
SEHTIHEIfT GROWS
Move in Senate to Substitute
Exemption Repeal Bill
Gradually Gains.
FIGHT DUE FIRST, HOWEVER
(submission of Dispute to Interna
tional Tribunal Known to Have
Had Wilson's Approval, Plan
Advocates Say.
WASHINGTON, May 18. With the
canal tolls exemption controversy near
Ins a vote, sentiment in the Senate is
growing in favor of an effort to substi
tute for the pending: bill a resolution
which would provide for the submission
of the dispute between the . United
States and Great Britain to an interna
tional tribunal.
Although Senators who have dis
cussed this proposal are not sure it
will prevail when time for a vote ar
rives, they assert many of their col
leagues are willing to adopt this course.
Senator O'Gorman, leader of the
forces fighting repeal, will not consent
to arbitration, it was said tonight, and
the proposal undoubtedly will meet
with vigorous opposition among Sena
tors on both sides of the issue. It was
pointed out, however, that before the
House passed the repeal bill. Presi
dent Wilson was willing that the ques
tion should be settled by arbitration.
Idea GalnM Headway..
During the day three Senators added
their voices to those who see in arbi
tration the best way out of the diffi
culty. Senator Sutherland asserted
that arbitration was the one way to
settle the dispute. Senator Williams
announced that he .would gladly vote
for arbitration, and Senator Works
agreed that this plan was desirable. A
resolution providing for submission to
arbitration has been introduced by
Senator Norris, and may come up for
consideration before a vote on the re
peal itself is demanded.
On the Republican side today it de
veloped that Senators Root and Lodge,
a well as others who are prominent
in the fight for repeal, would favor
arbitration.
A two-thirds vote of the Senate
would be required to pass an arbitra
tion resolution. Those opposed to the
idea pointed out that arbitration would
mean a long delay, and in the mean
time the canal would be opened and
operated and many complications would
arise.
Hope for Vote Monday Fades.
No effort apparently has been made
on the Democratic side to sound out
Senators on the plan.
Democratic leaders who expected a
vote on the repeal bill next Monday
learned today that chances for this
hope being realized were growing dim.
Senator Jones gave notice of his in
tention to speak on the repeal bill on
that day, and it was understood that
other Senators might not decide to
speak before Monday.

STATE AID TO BE
REPORT REGARDING ROAD BUILD
ING DENIED BV GOVERNOR.
Executive Declares All Contributing
Counties With ' Available Funds
Are Entitled to Assistance.
SALEM, Or., May 18. (Special.)
Regarding a report that the State
Highway Commisison would aid in
building roads only those counties
which had voted bond issues. Governor
West today made the following state
ment: "The Highway Commisison has not
declared its intention of giving state
aid to counties issuing bonds. All
counties contributing to the highway
funds are entitled to share in its bene
fits. Counties have a right to build
roads.without bonds if they see fit-
"It is the Commission's desire, how
ever, to put the limited amount of
money at its disposal into roads at an
early date, and to this end it desires to
build through co-operation in several
of the counties demonstration roads.
It is not likely, however, that many
counties other than those that have
issued bonds and thus have funds on
hand will be able to co-operate with
the state just at this time. In time
both the state and other counties will
have additional funds and further co
operation will be possible.
"The state is constructing a stretch
of road in Sherman County and has
declared its willingness to co-operate
with Washington County in the con
struction of a permanent section of
the Rex-Tigardville road. Neither of
these counties have issued bonds. The
bonded counties which have funds on
hand and are in position to co-operate
at this time are Jackson, Clatsop and
Columbia."
