Richard Strauss, the German composer, recently asked the correspondent if he thought the. composer would be able to travel shortly and produce his music. Members of the court of the former em peror also have asked if it were feasible to travel. Kor them false passports are out, of the question since they are no well known. There is much uneasiness over the raising of the tariff walls within the former empire. The Czechs are un willing" to sell proods ami accept pay ment in thf old Austrian money.

World Power Rulo; and IiMorna tlonal Class .Kiilc by Rol&licviki Declared to Tend to Same End. I'ORTLANI. Me., Veb. 12. Senator Foindexter of wnsnmiirton, upeaKing tonight at a dinner siven by the Lin coln club of Portland to the members of the Maine legislature, warned the American people against surrendering their liberties to international rule by a common world power set up by all the nations, or to international class rule by the bolsheviki. The result in either case, he said, would be imperial despotism and tho end of national in dependence and liberty. The passing of what lie characterised as the old world in which the American people enjoyed "liberty combined with security" and the setting up of a "new principle of control of international ism" was deplored by Mr. Foindexter, who said : "VV'e find, strange" to say, the gov ernment of the United States itself taking the lead in setting ud in the world this new principle of control of internationalism as opposed to the old nationalism." At the same time. Senator Toin dexter asserted, there is "spreading throughout the land another manifes tation of the same principle of inter nationalism." This, he said, has been shown most strikingly in the recent strikes on the Pacific coast, brought on "by advocates of what is called world-wide solidarity of labor, for the purpose of confiscating and taking over by the laborers of all the industries and property of the land." FOUR VORDS BLOCK BILL fOontinned From nrst Fate.)- casionNbeing when he debated whether a horse doctor should have a license, as Senator Banks recalled in his own remarks. In reply to a question by Senator Shanks. President Vinton said he could not vote for the $10,000,000 bond bill if the minority report was adopted. later he explained that this was not what he meant, but that his intention is to oppose the bond bill unless it is properly safeguarded. But how safe guarded he did not ' indicate. "The best safeguards for the expen ditures for roads, declared Senator Shanks, "are Benson, Booth and Thompson. I come from eastern Ore gon where people believe in the hon esty, integrity and efficiency of offi cials and are not always suspecting graft." Dimlck Recltra Objections. Mr. Shanks asked Senator Dimick what his objections were to the four words and the Clackamas senator com plained that they would "throw it wide open." And he didn't believe in leav ing such matters to the officials. Section 7 of senate bill 67, reads as follows: Section 7. '-All contracts which may be awarded for laying any pavement or for the purchase of any material, mixture or process entering herein, shall be awarded to the responsible bidder submitting the lowest aggregate bid. Such aggregate bid shall be con sidered as the sum of the amounts designated for royalty and for ma terials, labor, mixture, profit and other items releveant to the actual perform ance of the work; provided, however, that the right is reserved to reject any and all bids. Old Scandala Brought Out. The minority report asks that there be added. "Considering quality and durability." Musty newspaper files, copies of tele grams several years old, charges of bribery and the like were the ammuni tion used by the senator's opposing the minority report.- They did not discuss the effect of the four words, but they dug in the graveyard and dragged up all the scandals they could find with which the Warren Construction com pany was connected. Senator Lachmund said that when he was mayor of Salem a confidential agent of the company tried to bribe him with 1S,000.' Senator Dimick, who held the spotlight for an hour and ten minutcs,referred to the pav ing people as "tlTat bun-.-h of pirates , f .v-. ' - v i ,oc.x (C-.r 5&- ?

Needed Legislation Lncfclnff. Mr. Dimick read newspaper accounts several years old from various titles regarding the activities of the paving people, lie said a curb was not neoded on the state highway commission, but around the Warren Construction com pany. ' According to Senator Moser. the "free, fair and open competition" promised by the highway commission has not materialized, and the commis sion has been unable to make good on these ""promises because of lack of necessary legislation. Senator Lachmund was the only speaker who confessed frankly tha he wants patented pavement driven from Oregon. Championing the highway commis sion and the minority report were Senators Haadley, Hurley, Shanks and Banks. Senator Hurley accused the men nowf ighting the minority report as the same crowd Jthat opposed the road legislation, two years ago. Trust Placed In Commission. He stigmatized them as mossbacks who are now trying to tie the hands of the commission and said: "These bills mean that the state highway com missioners are simple-minded fools who need a guide or they are crooks ano must be guarded against." Senator Handley said that one may as well try to drill reason into Dimick as music into a mule, also indicating that the scheme is to tie the hands of the com mission. Senator Banks assured his colleagues that the highway commissioners have convinced the public that they know more about building highways than members of the legislature and that he for one was willing to trust the commissioners. It was after 6 o'clock when Senator Patterson moved adjournment. There are half a dozen more speeches to be unlimbered in the morning. SALESMEN.

Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, introduced a bill to day to create a joint congressional ex ecutive commission of six to inquire into existing methods of financing the construction and acquisition of homes within the reach of people of modest means. He said he had abandoned hope of getting his measure creating a de partment of public works to relieve unemployment passed at the present session.
