The report is based on the departure
on December- 24 for Norfolk of the

known to have cleared with coal and
about $2,000,000 in gold. ' She left Nor

bought by a new enterprise which Is
said to have steamers on the British

Maurice B. Carlin. agent for the
steamers here, admitted today that the
ships had taken large consignments of
gold, but refused to say for whom it
was destined. . A member of the con

Y
Measure Providing for Consolida-
tion of Tax Commission Is Re
ferred to Committee as Part of
General Merger System.
6TATB CAPITOL. Salem. Or., Jan. JS.
(Special.) All prospects for early or
effective co-operation between the
House and Senate committees on con
solidation went glimmering today when
the House committee determined to
pursue an independent course toward
the Senate programme.
In accordance with that plan the
House committee has prepared a bill
creating a state commission of labor .
and consolidating with it the present
Commissioner of Labor, the board of -Inspection
of child labor, the Industrial
Welfare Commission and the Industrial
Accident Commission.
Other Bllla Proposed.
This bill probably will be introduced
in the House within a few days and
earnest efforts will be made to pass
It- Other 'bills consolidating other
state departments are in the making.
The House committee met this af
ternoon and expressed violent disfavor
of the Dlmick bill, consolidating the
State Tax Commission with the Publlo
Service Commission, which passed the
Senate with an almost unanimous vote
yesterday.
Representative Thomas bill trans-
ferrlng the duties of the Tax Commis
sion to the State Board of Control is
in the hands of this committee and
with a few amendments probably will '
be put through the House. If it is it
is probable that the Dlmick bill will
be smothered, as the two measures con
flict. Harmony Not Apparent.
No. It fioesn't look as though the two
committees are working very well to
gether, although both express a genuine
desire for effective consolidation.
The breach was further widened
when, on the floor of the House this
morning. Representative Thomas, a
member of the House committee, ac
cused members of the Senate commit
tee of "grandstanding" in their consol
idation efforts. It was the first burst
of forensic oratory that has been heard
this session. The House meetings have
been mighty dull thus far and It is
probable that Thomas has broken the .
Ice. Some Interesting times appear on
the distant horlson.
Governor's Ideas Carried Oat.
Representative Thomas' somewhat
sensational speech was called forth
when his own bill providing for a re-,
organization of the Tax Commission
was under consideration. The measure
was prepared in accordance with tho
views expressed by Governor Withy
combe in his message to the Legislature
two weeks ago. In asking that the bllL .
Instead of going to a vote, be sent to
the consolidation committee, Thomas
reviewed the recent efforts of tho lat
ter committee.
"We have been considering the Tax
Commission as well as other commis
sions," he said. "We don't want to re
port any recommendations until we feel
certain that It can be carried out successfully.
Bad Faith Charged.
"It is very apparent from the action
of the Senate that if either house is
going to stand for good, carefully cau
tious, constructive legislation, that it
will be this house and no other. It is
detrimental to the interests of this
state to attempt to pass bills in one
house with the knowledge and with the
sincere desire that the bill will be
killed in the other house.
There has been too much of this
appeal to the galleries in the past.
There is too much of it at the present,
and if the members across the hall
continue as they have commenced this
session the interests of the taxpayers
can only be conserved by our being
conservative here.
"Recognlring that this situation ex
ists, and feeling that this house should
not recommend or pass any bill except
what we feel should be passed. I recom
mend that this bill be referred to the
consolidation committee for further in
vestigation." Accordingly the bill went before the
consolidation committee and will be
recommended favorably with amend
ments that will make the State Board
of Control the tax commission and
provide for one tax expert at $3000 a
year and a secretary at $1800 a year.
Dlmick BUI Opposed.
Chairman Brownell, Representative
RItner and other members of the
House committee were much disturbed
today at the report that various Sen
ators, In speaking for the Dimick bill
yesterday, had given assurance that
the House committee would support it.
They denied that they ever had prom
ised their support. Senator Pierce at
tended the- committee meeting and
vigorously opposed the Dimick bill.
It is probable that the Thomas bill,
with amendments, and the labor bill.
