There is prreat speculation in foreign
"bonds, while the sale of Polish pass
ports is finding: a large market, due
to the desire of people to travel abroad.
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

There is much uneasiness over the
raising of the tariff walls within the

DOUBLE DANGER FORESEEN
SENATOR l'O IN DEXTER WARNS
AMERICAN rEOI'LK.
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

"grand larcenists" and similar uncom
plimentary terms. Ho read ah' affi
davit from Joseph Penson of Astorli,
in which Mr. Penson swore that in
1915 he was asked to bid on bitulithic
in -Clatsop county, and was promised
that he could get the mixture at a
lower figure than any other bidder.
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.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. 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.
