DEMOCRATS SLOW
Ofl APPROPRIATIONS
Emergency Enactments Keep
Several Government De
partments Going.
LEGISLATION CONTROL LAX
During 10 Years Republicans Were
at Helm Fiscal Affairs Always
Taken Care Or by July
1, Records Sliow.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. July 31. So ineffective has
been the Democratic management of
legislation in Congress that four of the
big appropriation bills, all of which
should have become law before July
1. the beginning of the Government's
fiscal year, are still pending, and it
became necessary tj pass a resolution
temporarily re-enacting the appropria
tions of' last year, in order that the
wheels of Government, In some depart
ments, should not be brought to a
standstill.
During the 16 years the Republicans
were in full control of the Govern
ment all of the regular PP0'1'?"
bills were passed and signed by the
President each year befare July 1, and
in all that time it was not once neces
sary for Congress to pass an emer
gency resolution to provide funds to
keep the wheels in motion. During the
Administration of President Cleveland
however, the Democratic Congress got
inti a muddle such as now Pviils
In Congress, and emergency resolutions
were necessary. .
That the Democrats in Congress, and
especially in the Senate lack profi
cient leadership has been demonstrated
In many ways, but never more forcibly
than by the delays in enacting the ap
propriation bills which provide for the
running of the Government Under
any sort of management which took
the future into consideratio tn Dem"
ocrats should have been able to dispose
of the appropriation bills before June
30. But the Senators in charge of the
various bills lacked the capacity to get
their bills t3 a vote, and n co se
quence the sundry civil bill, the In
dian appropriation bill, the deficiency
bill and the river and harbor bill are
vet to receive the approval of the
President, and two of them are yet to
be finally accepted by Co nirres. The
delay in passing these bills and the re
enactment of the bills of the last ses
sion as a temporary expedient has en
tXd a vast amount of bookkeeping
upon those of the Government -departments
that are affected by the bills
question, and several thousand Gov
ernment employes whose salaries are
carried by one or another of the bills
In question have seen one Ptf JW PM"
without being able to draw their pay
envelopes from Uncle Sam.
Representative Glllett. of Massachu
setts, a member of the appropriations
committee, took occasion to censure
the Democrats for their incapacity, and
recited the delays on the i four appro
priation bills. He cited the fact that
under Republican control the appro
priation bills were always cleaned up
before July 1- "That." said he ' marks
the contrast between the business ef
ficiency of the Republican Party and
the business management of the Demo
cratic party. The 53d Congress, the
last Democratic Congress before this,
failed to pass the appropriation bills
on time. The following eight Repub
lican Congresses were always prompt,
and now the Democratic Congress fails
again.
"Good business management requires
that the appropriation bills for the en
suing year should be passed before the
commencement of that year. This was
done for 16 years by the Republican
party. And now, just as the Demo
cratic party gets in power, they re
peat their former practice and begin
to illustrate what we always criti
cized them for. namely, their ineffi
ciency and their incapacity for busi
ness management"
FIGHTING TO FIX REVOLT

VERA CRUZ, Mex., July 31. Consti
tutionalist leaders at Tampico predict
there will be no peace conference be
tween the delegates of General Car
ranza and Provisional President Carba
jal at Saltillo. where tne Carbajal dele
gates should arrive tomorrow.
From Colonel Gallardo. General
Villa's personal representative at Tam
pico, and Colonel Nafarrete, mili
tary chief at Tampico, It has
been learned that the constitutlon-
' alists in that region had not expected
Carranza even would receive Lauro VII
lar and David Gulterrez AHende, Car
bajal'a representatives, and that if he
does, the constitutionalists will not
agree to any terms made by President
CarbajaL They insisted that the revo-
' lutlon must be settled by fighting, and
not by parleys.
This Information was obtained by
Mexican newspapermen who accom
panied the delegates to Tampico. but
who were forced to return here, the
constftutionalists refusing to permit
them to land.
General Villar and Senor Allende
were received with the utmost coolness
in Tampico. None of the constitution
alist officials were at the wharf to meet
them, and during their stay in the city
they were shown no courtesies. They
boarded the train for Monterey, whence
they are expected to go to Saltillo, with
no more recognition than would have
been accorded ordinary passengers.

The President will appeal directly
to the employers and employes to set

strike at this time would be disastrous
to the country.

under the terms of the Newlands law.
The President was informed that
more than 31.000,000 people live along
the railroads affected by the threatened
strike, and that many thousands of per
sons in addition to the railroad em
ployes will be thrown out of work if

SMUT' EXPLOSIONS ALARM
Damage to Separators Heavy; Only
1 0 Per Cent of Crop Threshed,

The destruction of six more separa
tors by smut explosions and fire, bring
ing the season's total number to date
in Whitman County to 28, has greatly
increased the gravity of the situation
among farmers. Gralnmen estimate
that only 10 per cent oi tne grain crop
i hoon threshed .and already more
HsTmne-a has been occasioned than in
any other previous two years.
A number of farmers wnose Bum
ripe refuse to start work, hoping that
rain will fall and the liability of ex
plosions and fires be lessened. Farm
ers would willingly sudbuiuus mo
by the shattering of grain by rain for
the liability of the destruction of
threshing machines.
The farmers and tnresners arc isrwi

present problem being probably the
greatest they have ever faced in this
county.

Failure to Meet Interest on $2,000,000
Bonda Causes Action by Bankers'
Trust Company of New York.
PEORIA, 111.. July 31. The Chicago,
Peoria & St. Louis Railroad went into
receivers' hands today.
The action was brought by the
Bankers' Trust Company of New York,
following the failure of the road to
pay interest on $2,000,000 bonds due
on June 1 of this year.
The amount is part of a J15.000.000
issue largely taken by English in
vestors In July, 1913.
Major Bluford Wilson, president of
the road, and William Cotter, repre
senting the majority bondholders of
New York, were named as receivers.
Each filed bond of 50,000.
In its answer to the plea for re
ceivership the road admits Insolvency.
The road operates 251 miles of main
line between Peoria and St. Louis, with
a branch line between Peoria and
Jacksonville. Today is the third time
the road has been in the hands of re
ceivers. Receivership petitions were
granted in 1896 in the Circuit Court of
Sangamon County, and in 1909 by the
Federal Court.
According to statements of officers
of the road the purpose of the action
is to secure a bedrock reorganization
of the r.iad.
In addition to the $15,000,000 bond
issue authorized In 1913, there Is a
prior lien of $2,000,000 in the form of
a bond issue held by the Equitable As
surance Company of New York.

Trustee for f 3,000,000 Bond Issue Acts,
Attorney Says Reorganization and
Adjustment May Be Result.
TACOMA, Wash., July 31. The WaBh-
ington-Oregon Corporation, operating
power and water plants and street rail
way systems in Southwestern vvasn
lngton and Northwestern Oregon, was
thrown into receivership here today.
Federal Judge Cushman appointed At
torney Elmer M. Hayden temporary re
ceiver. The receivership was asked by
the Fidelity Trust Company, of Phila
delphia, as trustee for a $5,000,000
bond issue.
The Washington-Oregon Corporation
has properties in several Washington
and Oregon towns. It operates a light
and power plant at Hillsboro; a light
plant at Rainier; the water plant and
electric streetcar system at Vancouver,
Wash.; a power and light system at
Kalama, Wash., and light plant and
electric car system at Chehalis and Cen
tralis, Wash.
Isaac W. Anderson, of Tacoma, is
president of the corporation, and H. G.
Fleischhauer, of Portland, is general
manager. Charles' A. Johns, of Port
land, is attorney for the company.
Mr. Johns said last night that the
action resulting in receivership was due
to inability of the company to meet its
obligations. He said that efforts would
be made toward . reorganization and
that the probable effect of the receiver
ship would be to enable the company to
adjust its affairs.
A. Welch, of Portland, was one of
those prominent in the organization of
the company some : ears ago. Mr.
Welch, however, has no present con
nection with the corporation. He re
signed as general manager about 18
months ago.
