The enormous number of bills deal ig with farming and Industry pre nted yesterday and today, togther Ith an apparent desire of leaders do something for business gener Uy, made it appear certain that con cessional attention would be turned o business problems, once the ap f- ..ropriatlon bills are out of the way. Leaders in the senate and house do . ot believe that actual enactment of ny such legislation can be accom plished during the present session, ut they are evidently agreed that he foundations should be laid hrough committee consideration for ,.rompt action after March 4 next. 3Iany Proposals Are 9Iade The ways and means committee Till have before it a wide range of roposals, for bills already dropped .no the senate and house hoppers iclude measures providing all, the ay from far-reaching tax and tariff etorms and agricultural relief to id protection to limited groups or .ldustries.

Mr. .Uason's resolution set forth that there were more than 2,000,000 persons in the United States in enforced idle ness.

New Jersey, who declared that the burden of taxes .should not be further In creased in taxing money already paid orto be paid into the federal treas ury. .Bills were offered in the senate In large numbers today with the gen eral aim of stimulating business.

HOW OVER MONEY IS IOOMTNG Referring All Bills to Enlarged Appropriations Committee Issue WASHINGTON, Dec 7. Action of the house at the last session In de cidlng to refer all money bills to an enlarged appropriations committee to day showed signs of developing into an open row. Rumblings were heard and committee chairmen particularly were represented by their asso ciates as now feeling that the move had been in the wrong direction. Inasmuch as most of the legisla tion, which will finally get through the house at the present session, is expected to consist of appropriation measures, committee, members who for many sessions have aided in for mulating these bills were said "to see no opportunity to assist in this work, Chairman Butler of the naval at fairs committee declared the house action means that "35 men (the mem bership of the enlarged committee) can now run the house for this ses tion and the rest of us can go home. The naval affairs committee chair man indicated that various members of the house were preparing to voice their objection to the plan and th whole plan might be brought up agai for caucus action by the republicans.

IMMIGRATION BAR LIKELY Mouse Leaders Determined to Act as Reconstruction Aid. "WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. Determina tion of house leaders to stop during the period of reconstruction the great . flood of immigration which has set in from Europe and other parts of, the world was evidenced today by the action of the rules committee In re porting a special rule under which general debate on the Johnson bill would be limited to four hours and probably disposed of at one session. The rule will be called up Thursday, delay la taking it up having been , agreed upon only to permit the prep aration of a minority report by Rep resentative Siegel, republican. New Xork. The Johnson bill would pro- m hrblt practically an Immigration for two years. - While the- hoase committee was act ing. Senator King, democrat. Utah, introduced a bill proposing to suspend immigration for six months. This proposal ha the support of other senators, who believe that congress should not act hastily In passing Im migration legislation, but should put up the bars for a short period while It is assessing the whole situation and drafting feglslation to meet it. Senator King also offered a meas ure today calling upon the secretary of labor for a report onlhe disposi tion of appropriations made for en forcement of the law against alien anarchists, for the deportation of an archists and for the enforcement of the Immigration law.

The discussion of cabinet selections had a wider scop, several of his most trusted friends undertaking to can vass the situation in separate confer ences - at various places through the capital. Harry M. Daugherty of Ohio, his pre-convention manager, was one of the most active In this task, see ing various - members of the senate and house in Mr. Harding's office, while the president-elect, was occu pied with his own callers at the resi dence of Edward B. McLean, his host. Republican Iader Bony. Former Senator Weeks of Mass achusetts, who, like Mr. Daugherty has been prominently mentioned as a likely candidate, after he had talked to Mr. Harding, also saw several prominent republican leaders. A third who performed a similar mission was Senator Fall of New Mexico, whos activities brought his name into fresh prominence as a possible secretary In the cabinet. Among those who called on Mr. Harding during the day were Senator Spencer of Missouri and Senator Kellogg of Minnesota, both of whom were included in the group of mild reservatlonlst3; Senator Johnson of California, a leader of the lrrecon- cilables; Senator Lodge, the repub lican senate leader, and Senators Smoot of Utah, Calder of New York, Norris of Nebraska and Phipps of Colorado. Patronaee Hot Considered. Discussions of patronage, however, were understood to have been for bidden at the various conferences, everal of the senators who saw the president-elect quoting him as say ng that it was "too early" to con ider appointments of ambassadors or other officials. Leaving here on a special train at 4:10 P. St., Mr. and Mrs. Hardinjr would reach their home in Marion tomorrow morning. They do not ex pect to return here until inaugura tion day.

I NOW : LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY IS T State Veterinarian Tells of Readjustment Period- - WOOL IMPORTS SLACKEN Feed Is Plentiful and Must Re main Cheap, Opinion of Dr. W. H. Lytic . SALEM, Or.. Dec 1. (Special.) "The livestock Industry, in common with all commercial and industrial activity, is passing through the long-looked-for readjustment period that everyone familiar with the industry knew must take place before the business would get back on a firm foundation." said Dr. W. H. Lytle, state veterinarian here today. "The surprising -thing is that con ditions are as good as they are. No great amount of forced liquidation has taken place. The presidential election, which always brings about business stagnation has passed and soon a new congress and a new presi dent will be asked to enact what appears to be much needed legisla tion for the livestock industry. Already It is reported there Is a let ting up In the buying of certain foreign wools for Import. The would be purchaser fears that he may get caught with his import product in the protection barbs of the new tariff fence that the next cession of con gress may establish. Feed Most Be Cheap. "Feed is plentiful and must remain cheap. To market the big hay crop of nearly all sections of Oregon much winter feeding must be resorted to and a brisk home market for much of our feeding stuff ought to be in evidence. "The desert section of Oregon, which has formerly been used as a winter range for many of our interior shepherd, but which, ow-ig to the high price of sheep during the war period was not used because of cer tain winter hazards, is now . being thrown into use for the cheap carry ing over of many of our range flocks. Karly fall rains have Insured a rank growth of all desert grasses and a spring lamb crop far above the aver age ought to result from this year's carry-over of all range breeding ewes. The epring market, which has been exceedingly poor for the last year, should be materially helped by purchasers from Montana, Wyoming and the Rocky mountain states who have experienced heavy winter losses during last year and a lamb crop of but 50 per cent of the normal. Cattle My Advance. "Cattle seem to have reached the bottom and a slight climb in price might well be looked for. Were It not for our abundant hay crop the feeder and yearling end would be a source of some little concern, but as the feed situation Is entirely satis factory and much outside ranee is everywhere reported these unsold ani mals may well be put to the profitable task of garnering a feed crop that might otherwise go ungathered. "Statistics show that Oregon cattle profits, are made from the range run ning of cattle rather than from the feed lot. This year might show a much better spring balance than is now looked for. The Oregon cattle producer has materially improved the quality of his animals by the bringing in and use of pure blooded bulls on the range, and with good feed a high and desirable type of animal will be offered the range states feeders and shippers. Horse Demand Strengthened. "Horses are steadily becoming more in demand. Decreased feed costs and stationary or increased gasoline costs, is swinging the pendulum back in favor of the horse. At present figur ing, barley at 90c, oats at 60c, hay at $25 per ton and pasture at $15 per acre for the year's pasture run rent of 170 days, we find that 25.3 bushels of rolled barley, S7.8 bushels of oats, 1.7 tons of hay will keep an average Oregon horse working under average Oregon farm conditions for a year. The aggregate cost of this feed is $117. 35 per year; from this should be subtracted fi9, value of th- manure, leaving an expense of but $78.35 for the year's feeding. "These figures show really how cheaply a draft horse may be main tained under farm conditions; fancy attempting to compete with automo tive or tractor power with this bill of expense. Good draft mares should all be bred inr the spring and range mares- of fair type and reasonable bone and size will be in increasing demand. Livestock growers have a right to be optimistic about the fu ture of the industry. 1921 ought to be an-average year. It will call for the practice of thrift and good feel OUTLOOK UGH WIVES!
