SALEM. Or., Dec. 18. (Special.)
I L. E. Bean, speaker of the house of

most sought man In Salem tonight.
He had hardly arrived at his head
quarters at the Marion hotel when he
was beseiged by a flock of Job hunt
ers and legislators who had some
"sncret" to bare In connection with
the special session. Speaker Bean to
night reiterated the statement made
by him in Portland yesterday that he
favored a short, snappy session, with
adjournment not Titer than Friday
afternoon.

Senators Bruce Dennis of Umatilla
county and Jay Upton of Crook coun
ty are known among the legislators
as the eastern Oregon twins. They
occupy adjoining desks, and at prev
Ions sessions of the lawmakers have
collaborated In the introduction of
numerous bills. Both senators reached
the capitol city tonight primed for
week of legislative maneuvers.
Senator Charles Hall, chairman of
the roads and highways committee, is
as
Bturdy and sane John Bull type of cit
izen is that a final peace is here at
lust and that the violence of the ex
tremist leaders on both sides Is as
unavailing its that of the waves
ugiUnst the eternal rocks.
Ratification of the agreement by
parliament yesterday by an over
whelming vote meant more as an in
dicatlon of Britain's determination
for peace than most persons imagine
The agreement goes miles further
than anything dreamed of before. We
have grown accustomed to regard
"home rule" In terms of John Red
niond's demands, which still left Ire
land wilhin the fiscal and defensive
scope of the United Kingdom.
Previous Profession Khittterrd.
The scheme under consideration
makes sad havoc of many previous
professions. Ireland Is to be a state
In a community of free states hence
the dangers and doubts of the weak,
which have been fed by De Valera's
declaration of rejection and Carson's
bitter hostility.
But John Bull is a practical as well
as a magnanimous and stolid type of
humanity. He has faced the facts
with equanimity and good will. He
realized that throughout the world
the growth of other dominions to the
status of free states has disposed peo
ples toward a larger sympathy for
Irish aspirations.
Lord Morley and Lord Dunravcn, In
the house of lords, and Sir Samuel
lloare and the writer, in the com
mons, led off the debates and repre
sented all shades of British politics
lr. appreciation of the king's gener
ous gesture at Belfast when he
opened the Ulster parliament, and
heartily indorsed the agreement
drawn up at Downing street.
Unionists Fall Into Line.
Even the unionists, who have
fought for generations against the
separation of Ireland from the United
Kingdom, courageously, faced needs
based on new facts. As for the "pre
dominant partner." Mr. Lloyd George
eenres a magnificent success.
if hesitation on the Irish side
causes anxiety. It Is because of the
attitude taken by Pe Valcra and the
respect felt to be due him. But ac
ceptance is only a matter of time
and patience. Tim Hcaly, T. P. O'Con
nor and the old Irish nationalist lead
ers generally have pleaded for peace.
The Irieh Catholics and the bishops
are on the same side. It Is incon
ceivable that De Valcra, even If he
tried, could again lash his point into
warfare.
Ireland and Great Britain are des
tined In the near future to take their
places side by side as separate en-
orchards. When not engaged in
making laws and farming Senator
LaKollctt passes most of his time de
livering speeches against higher tax
ation. W. C. Faulkner will act as custo
dian of the senate chamber durln-g
the special session. Mr. Faulkner
ha-il from Albany, where he has
lived for many years. He has served
in various legislative capacities in
Salem during the past few years, and
has a wide acquaintanceship among
the lawmakers. Mr. Faulkner is a
member of the Grand Army of the
Republic. Efficiency end courtesy
are bis by-words.
When the legislators assemDie in
their respective chamber tomorrow
morning they will find the destc ror-
merlv oecuDled bv Senator Wilson r
Hume bedecked with bouquets of
beautiful carnations, the gift of the
secretary of state. Mr. Hume served
in the senate during the last regular
session of the legislature but died
recently in Portland following a brief
illness. Resolutions paying trioute
to the memory of Senator Hume will
be introduced in both branches of the
legislature,
C. F. Hopkins, joint representative
from Douglas and Jackson counties,
was among the first to arrive In
Salem preparatory to the Bpeclal see

Acting under an opinion given by the
attorney-general. Representative Hop

Where did K. K. Kubll, representa
tive from Multnomah county, annex
the title of captain? This is the ques
tlon that resulted In considerable
comment among the legislators gath
ered in the lobby of the Marlon hotel
here tonight. Some of the lawmakers
ventured the guess that Mr. Kubli
once managed a baseball team, while
others were of the opinion that he
gained the prefix on the high seas.
Although word was- given out that
rot more than a dozen stenographers
would be required to handle the
work in connection with the spe
cial session of the legislature, more
han twice that numbir made their
appearance at the statehouse today
In search of positions. The majority
of the Job-seeking stenographers hail
from Portland.

Eyes Upon Arms Conference.
Our concern with these grave mat
ters has not turned our attention
from the splendid work that is being
done at Washington. As a nation
we had been exercised about the Jap
anese treaty. We gained from It in
the past, for Japan loyally had played
her part when we were sorely pressed
and we felt that we could not fairly
dismiss her when our turn had been
served. But uppermost In the hearts
of our people is the Ideal of hearty
co-operation with the United States,
and this also has been the primary
principal of our International policy.
How to reconcile our duty to Japan
with this thought was a difficult
question, happily solved In the best of
all possible ways by absorbing the
Anglo-Japanese treaty In a wider
agreement. France, as well as the
United States and Japan, are with us
In a pact which guarantees that cer
tain problems of the far east will
cease from troubling the world for
at least ten years.
Washington Achievement Great.
It Is a great achievement." To
gether with the reduction of arma
ments. It gives the Washington con
ference an historical significance.
We can truly say now:
"The world is rolling freedom's
way and ripening In her sorrow."
The next task Is the question of
reparations, and their adjustment to
the industrial and economic needs of
the world. That Is the task to which
Mr. Lloyd George is now applying his
mind. His consultation with Premier
1'rland this week on the matter is a
new step towardH. let us hope, some
definite settlement of his disturbing
problem.

Portland consumes more gas than
the average community in the United
States. The consumption here in the
last ten years increased 177 per cent,
while the increase in the nation was
115 per cent. According to George L.
Myers, assistant to the president of
the local gas company, the consump
tion each meter here Increased from
16.542 cubic feet annually in 1900 to
36.780 In 1920. This growth, he said,
has reflected the development in the
uses for gas and the volume of eon
sumption in househeatlng and indus
try and the aggressive policy of the
local company.
"The permanency of the gas indus
try because of the necessity for its
service and the growing development
in its number of uses assures the
greatest financial stability," Mr.
Myers said. "Investment In no other
type of securities outside of those of
the government is more sound. We

and we have been doing so for some

fCopyrlcht. 1H2I, by The Oreltrmian.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec 18.
(Special.) Although she may never
fire a shot in anger, the fame of the
battleship Mutsu will live long after
the names of the valiant craft of Jel
llco and Beatty that turned the Ger
mans back at Jutland are forgotten.
The Mutsu will be handed down in
history for the gallant part she
played in- the naval battle at Wash
ington, when, escaping the Hughes
torpedo, aimed directly at her, she
wan allowed to live and retan for a
goodly tune as queen of the Pacific.
It Is not difficult to understand the
compelling argument the Japanese
made for this greatest naval vessel.
quite apart from any question of
naval ratios or the sacrifices the Jap
anese people have made to provide
the money necessary for the Mutsu's
construction.. The Mutsu to Japan Is
more than a battleship. She is a
symbol. She stands for the trans
formation of Japan from a backward.
Isolated nation Into a world power of
the first magnitude the treaty com
panion of the three great white pow
ers of the world today.
Name From Emperor.
The Japanese sentiment which at
tached to the Mutsu may be better
understood when it is recalled that
she is named for the great Emperor
Mutsu Hito, who reigned supreme
from 1867 to 112, and who in 1868
overthrew the shotgunate, which had
ruled the country for more than 700
years.
It was during the reign of Mutsu
Hlto that Japan, made her real prog
ress as a nation and that a national
constitution was promulgated. Mutsu
Hito has been called "emperor of the
era of enlightenment" in Japan and
his fuiveral cortege in 1912 was wit
nessed by 2.000,000 persons. The late
Senator Knox, at that time secretary
of state under President Taft, repre
sented the United States at the obse
quies. The Emperor Yoshihito. who
abdicated the throne recently In favor
of the regency of Prince Hirohlto, was
the son of Emperor Mutsu Hito and
Princess Yanigawara, one of the eight
princesses of noble blood who joined
the household of Mutsu Hito when it
was realized no peace could be ex
pected of Haruko. the empress. To
the Japanese the Mutsu Is a person
ality and not a mere thing of steel.
The new tariff bill, when It comes
from the finance committee of the
senate within the next few days, will
be utterly and entirely bereft of a
schedule K. It will contain about
every other letter in the alphabet, but
K will be avoided as scrupulously as
dusky crap shooter would avoid
passing a graveyard in the dark of
the moon. One would scarcely sus
pect that the leaders of the grand old
republican party are superstitious.
But they are.
Fordnry, Penrose Cautious.
Men like Joe Fordney of the house
and Boise Penrose of the senate are
commonly known perhaps as hard
headed. If one could purposely grope
for a word, after the manner of Mr.
Balfour, he would hesitate after that
adjective "hard" long enough to con
vey to the audience the impression
that what he really was about to say
was "hard boiled."
Nevertheless, these stalwart old
politicians of house and senate, and
most of their associates as well,
while they probably would scout the
Idea that there is anything in super
stition, while they might sit with
equanimity at a dinner of 13, while
they might walk without a tremor
under a ladder or audaciously raise
an umbrella in the house and refuse
to pick up a pin pointed toward them:
nevertheless these stalwart leaders
do not feel they are warranted in tak
ing a chance with superstition where
the future of the grand old party is
at stake.
Schedule K en Wool.
Hence no schedule K. For those
with short memories it may be ex
plained that schedle K was the rock
upon which political disaster lurked
back In 1909 and 1910. It was the
wool scheduleof the Payne-Aldrlch
act, and that schedule of that particu
lar act brought an unmeasured bur
den of misery and woe to the repub
lican party. As a matter of fact, old
schedule K. became such a notorious
character, such a sinister influence,
one might say, that the present-day
leaders of the party in matters of
ways and means could not bear the
thought of ever hearing schedule K
mentioned In legislative debate again.
If the Ku Kluz Klan wants to usurp
all the Ks In the language it is en
tirely welcome to them so far as the
republican big-wigs are concerned.
To them the letter K simply does not
exist. Senators Kellogg, Kendrlck,
Kenyon, Keyes and King to the con
trary notwithstanding.
Rene Vivianl, ex-premier of France
and successor to Briand as head of
the French delegation to the Wash
ington conference up to the time he
sailed for France last Wednesday,
shook his head somewhat, sadly just
before he departed from the capital
and ronfesed that he mie'ht never.
never become president of the re
public. For days he had been th.
subject of the most Intense congratu
lations upon the speecu he had made
at the head of the horseshoe confer
ence table in stating France's adher
ence to the four-power pact.
"Ah, it wasv magnificent. Some day
it will make you president of France,"
cried on of his countrymen.
"Alas! That cannot be," said Vivian!.
"Four quois pas?" asked the coun
tryman in astonishment.
(All of which being translated
somewhat liberally into English as
the is spoken, means "how come? )
"Well." said M. Vivianl. "think fori
yourself. How In the name of pho
netic Justice could the populace ever
be expected to cry 'Vive Vivianl. vive
Vlvlani?' It Is out of the question.
Therefore, I shall not be proud."
Frank Simons, distinguished war
critic these last years, but one time
political reporter, calls our attention
to a somewhat generous error In out
account last week of Secretary
Hughes' first stump speech when he
was a candidate for governor In 1906.
Frank was a member of that memor
able campaign party, as well as the
writer. Frank denies with all the
characteristic vigor that Is In him
that Mr. Hughes on the occasion in
question confined .his address to the
bewhiskered apple farmers of Wayne
county, New York, to the subjects of
"bona fides" and "fiduciary obliga
tions." "I remember the occasion as well as
if it were yesterday," said Mr. Simons,
"and I can assert without the slight
est fear of successful contradiction
that Mr. Hughes also dwelt at lenglh
upon "undigested securities." Foi
