LETTER SENT TO CRITICS
TIIE MORNING OKEGOXIAN; WEDNESDAY, MAECH 21, 1917.
Objection Found to Provision Re
garding Interest Payments and
Fear Felt That "a Diaz"
Will Steal Our Liberty.
REGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, March 20. Defending himself
against the flood of criticism that has
come from Oregon and further explain
ing his attitude toward the armed neu
trality bill on March 3 and 4. Senator
Lane today is sending to all who have
written him on the subject the follow
ing circular letter:
"Inasmuch as the charge of filibus
tering against the armed neutrality or
armed ships bill has been made against
me and wide circulation has been given
to the accusation, and much as I dis
like to disappoint those who have
criticised my supposed action so freely
and , frankly, candor compels me to
rate that I did not filibuster on the
bill. Not only did I not do so. but I
openly stated on the floor of the Sen
ate that I was ready at any and all
times to vote upon the MIL The rec
ords of the Senate will prove my state
ment to be true and I shall leave it
.to rest there without further comment.
Features of Bill Opposed.
"There were some features of the
bill of vital Importance which I hoped
might be changed.
"At the risk of being tiresome, I feel
it due to you to state that all appro
priation bills must, and do. as a rule,
originate in the House and not in the
Senate, and in accordance with this
custom the 'armed ships bill,' carrying
an appropriation of $100, 000, 000, did
originate in and was first passed by
that body. It was a different and bet
ter bill than the Senate bill and no
doubt would have passed the Senate if
it had been considered. Upon the other
hand, the Senate bill, as It was drawn,
would have met with delay and ob
struction If it had gone to the House.
"It could not have passed both houses
until its terms had been agreed to
t7 a conference committee of both
houses. Time did not permit t,h de
lay this made necessary.
Objection Made to Interest Rate.
' "The appropriation of $100,000,000
carried) with it a sort of Joker upon the
people whereby the rate of interest
upon the bonds was not a fixed rate
but was based upon a sliding scale,
which slid upward and not down, and
the rate of interest wouldi be automat
ically raised to meet the price the peo
ple would have to pay for other loans
tr it v,ef a me necessary during the com
ing war to borrow more money. These
bonds thus received special privileges
-to which they were not entitled, -
"No vote was taken on the bill, so
no one voted either for or against it,
and in addition it may truthfully be
said that at no time did or could Its
failure to pass cause any delay in our
going to war with Germany, as the
. President can at any time convene Con
gress and secure its consent to declare
ra 1 1? ViAfrrtmea necessarV to dO BO.
Coming of "a Dins" Feared.
"I resent the accusation that I in
any way failed in my duty and feel that
I met it fully. The charge originated,
as nearly as I can learn, with some
member of the committee which had
. the bill In charge, but Inasmuch, how
ever, as one of them, I had been in
formed!, had but a few days before un
blushingly fought for and voted in fa
vor of a measure which added many
thousands of dollars to his own yearly
Income, I confess that I did not and do
not hold his opinion of what constitutes
either loyalty or patriot'sm in , very
high esteem.
"In the first place, I feared the pro
vision which took away from the people
their sole and constitutional right and
power (acting through Congress) to de-
clare war and surrendered! it into the
hands of the Executive Department. v' I
feared that some day there might come
a Diaz. n which event it would be quite
possible for the people to lose their
Independence ana tneir lioerty as wen.
When the right was once partedi with
I feared it would never be regained.
and I objected and still do to that fea
ture of the bill. I also felt that I had
no authority vested in me to surrender
that right of the people, it being theirs
and theirs only.
"I was at the same time deeply im
pressed with the fact that at the pre
ceding session of Congress, without the
people of this country and without
either branch of Congress having a
word to say about it, there had been
slipped over on us by the conference
committee upon the inilitary bill a pro
vision which gives the executive branch
of the Government; ihe power to break
down the doors of every home in the
land with the butt, end of a musket
and forcibly 'draft' into the trenches
every male from the ages of 18 to 45
years. How many people know that?
Here then was granted the additional
power to declare war without the con
Bent of the people added to the grant
of forcible draft with which to carry
on war.
"To me it seemed that it were best
to look about us a bit. With, me it
was not a question of disappointing or
displeasing the President, for whom I
have ihe greatest respect and whom I
will support in the event of war, but
one of. my higher duty to the people
of Oregon and others.
"There was another feature of the

i
bill which in fairness it seemed to mo
needed changing. The bill authorized
the arming of merchTrht vessels, and
I would offer no serious objection to
that if the owners of the vessels and
the cargoes would furnish their own
guns and gunners at their own cost,
and send them to sea at their own risk,
but that was not the programme. No.
The guns and gunners and the ammu
nition were to be furnished from the
Navy-yards at the expense of the peo
ple of this country, while the ships
and cargoes were also to be Insured
against loss by the people.
"That is not all. The gunners and
crew were to receive no Insurance on
their lives, but were to go at their own
risk. Could you believe it? It was the
limit of petty meanness. It was the last
straw, and I wanted it to be stricken
out.
"The bargain was one-sided. The
people had nothing to gain and every
thing to lose from that kind of a
deal. On the other hand, it was all
clear gain to the shippers, without
any risk attached of losing either their
money or their precious lives. It
seemed to me, also, that vast good
might come to all of us if these same
ships might be sent unarmed to the
Pacific Coast on the peaceful mission
of carrying lumber and food through
the Panama Canal to this coast, where
they need it and " where so many are
going homeless and hungry.
Pledge Declared Kept.
"I spoke also for those who profit
not and hate not, and of our own
hungry people, our women and chil
dren who are now going without suf
ficient clothing. and those others
across the waters, our ancestors, whose
women and children starve and die and
whose misery islnot to be matched out
side of hell, and awoke the next morn
ing to learn that I was being de
nounced by some. for having kept my
pledge to the people of Oregon that
'I would not willingly permit their
rights to be invaded.
"If you will kindly and without prej
udice based upon false reports let me
know how under the circumstances I
could have acted differently than I did
and remain, true to your interests, I
would esteem it a favor."
Senator Lane, in the foregoing state
ment, criticises Senator Hitchcock, a
newspaper publisher, for having voted
against a raise in the mall rates on
newspapers, and also accuses his col
leagues of sharp practice in connection
with the Army reorganization act. The
draft provision to which Senator Lane
alludes has been the law of the land
for more than 100 years and was mere
ly re-enacted in the Army reorganiza
tion act.

HARBINGER OF SPRING HERE
Albany Police Chief Notes Hobo
Migration Toward Xorth.
ALBANY. Or., March 20. (Special.)
Hobo movements Join with other signs
in proclaiming that Spring is here, ac
cording to John Catlin, .Albany's Chief
of Police.
Chief Catlin says that Instead of the
majority of the hobos traveling south
ward, as has been the case recently,
there is an unmistakable northward
trend.
It was Chief Catlin who, recently,
while on the witness stand in the State
Circuit Court here, gave a definition of
a hobo which has become a classic, at
least locally, and which has spread
through the press to all parts of the
coAintry. He defined a hobo as "a man
who keeps going up and down the
country looking for work but praying
to God Almighty that he won't find it."

This movement is a direct result of
the "wool car" which recently came to
Central Oregon under the auspices of
the United States Department of Agri
culture and the Oregon Agricultural
College. They unanimously voted to
work in close touch with the County
Agricultural Council. Mr. Blanchard is

Chairman Benson Advises That Time of
Improvement Depends on Fate .
of 96,000,000 Bond Issue.
ASHLAND, Or.. March 20. (Special.)
Chairman S. Benson, of the State
Highway Commission, has informed the
local Commercial Club that the road
from Ashland to Klamath Falls, known
as the Green Spring road, and the road
from, Klamath Falls to Lakeview have
been Included in the state road pro
gramme. Mr. Benson says he considers
a road connecting three county seats,
as this road will, to be of sufficient im
portance to justify including it in the
road programme, and that he has found
the Commission to have the power to
do so.
Funds for the improvement of this
road will come from the Federal ap
propriations under the Shackelford bill
and state appropriations. Mr. Benson
says that the time when funds will be
come available depend in a great meas
ure on the outcome of the vote on the
$6,000,000 bond issue because of the
fact that if the bonds fail all state
money will be needed for trunk line
improvements.
The building of a road connecting
the Rogue River Valley and Klamath
County means a great deal to this sec
tion, as it will open up a market for
fruit which is now practically monopo
lised by California. Owing to the high
altitude in Klamath and Lake counties
little fruit is grown. The Green Spring
road would also complete a circuit from
Ashland to Crater Lake by way of
Rogue River, returning around the
Klamath Lakes, which would be a won
derful addition to tourist attractions.
PAROLE BEING CONSIDERED
Centralla Depositors Said to Favor
Ex-Manager of Defunct Bank.
CENTRALIA. Wash.. March 20.
(Special.) Edward Miller, deputy
warden at the Federal penitentiary on
McNeil's Island, who is representing the
Department of Justice, has been in
Centralla the past few days, feeling out
local sentiment relative to granting a
parole to C. S. Gilchrist, ex-manager of
the United States National Bank, who
was sentenced to McNeil's Island in
September, 1914, two days after the
bank closed its doors.
Deputy Miller made no comment on
his findings, but it is understood that
a large majority of the depositors of
the bank are in favor of allowing Mr.
Gilchrist his freedom.
Cosmopolis Asks Road Change.
ABERDEEN. Wash., -March 20.
(Special.) Cosmopolis citizens are
petitioning the County Commissioners
to abandon a five-mile stretch of the
Olympic Highway, between Aberdeen
and the Country Club and to use the
roadway on the opposite side of the
river, thus making that the Olympic
Highway. The Commission is asked
to build a bridge across the Chehalls
at the Country Club. If the Commis
sioners will make this change Cosmo
polis agrees to pave the highway
through that city and five miles up the
river to the point of the proposed
bridge.
