WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 17. The flrsp step to bring: about farmer rep resentatlon on the federal reserve board was taken late today by the senate In the passages of the Kellogg Smith compromise bill Increasing the board's appointive membersnip from five to six ar.d providing that the agricultural Interests shall have spokesman among them. The vote was 63 to 9. Seven of those who opposed the proposition were republicans and two democrats. They were: pomerene. Ohio, and Williams. Mississippi, democrats Brandegee, Connecticut; Calder, New York; Edge. New Jersey; Keyes. N;ew Hampshire; McLean. Connecticut; Moses, New Hampshire, and Wads- worth, New York, republicans. Limited Designation Wiped Ont. By the bill, which constitutes an amendment to the federal reserve urt, the limited designation of the law Is wiped out and Instead of the specific provision for the naming of two bankers on the board, the statute If agreed to by the house, will direct president. In making appointments. to have "due regard to a fair repre sentation of the financial, agricul tural. Industrial and commercial in terests ar.d geograpnlca.1 divisions of the country." The measure also provides that hereafter no federal reserve bank may enter Into a contract for bank ing homes if their cost is to exceed IU50.000, unless the consent of con gress Is first given. While the senate was moving slow ly toward a vote, word was received That Mr. Harding would observe the. Intent of the legislation and would name the farmer member. He had previously indicated disapproval of the original proposal and the com promise resulted. 'Prior to the vote there were several hours of heated a debate, in which Senator Glass, dem ' ocrat, Virginia, ex-secretary of the treasury, and an author of th re serve act, defended the. system and the board, and criticised Senator Hef lin of Alabama, also a democrat, for the latter's frequent attacks on the board. - Senator McLean, republican. Con necticut, also defended the board, but assailed extensively those who, he aid. were going ahead deliberately to "fool the farmers" Opponents Ioae Oat. Mr. Heflin declared a board which would permit orders to go out .for the construction of a bank building like ' that proposed for the New York fed eral reserve bank, and which Is to cost around $20,000,000. was "covered all over with suspicion of graft. ' Opponents of the measure, led by Senator McLean, made an attempt to stave off Its passage Just before the final vote by moving to send It back to committee, but this was defeated, S3 to 17. ' RUSSIAN AID AUTHORIZED I s. Surplus Army Medical Supplies to Be Vsed for Belief. WASHINGTON. D. C. Jan. 17. The flenate today accepted the house sub stitute bill authorizing President Harding to turn over surplus army medical supplies not exceeding $4,000. 000 in value to relief organizations for distribution in the famine dis tricts of Russia. The bill now goes to the president. HIGHWAY- WORK ASSURED (Continued Krum First Tupe.) rond tn-twevn Walla Walla, Wash., and Pendleton. Or., Is not a state road In Washington. Mr. Purcell an nounced that he Is determined to rec ommend to his superiors at Washing ton. D. C. that the Umatilla-Wallula cutoff be designated, as th's will give an Interstate connection. He also in formed the highway commissioners that the cutoff is on the programme of Washington state and that state will start building as soon as the Oregon commission approves the project. , Connection Is made with Idaho on the east at Ontario., where the old Oregon tra'l and John Day highway converge. On the south the California connec tion is uncertain. Oregon has built the Pacific highway to the state line snu paved It almost all that distance, but there has been no sign that Cali fornia intends making a primary road connection with the Pacllfc high way. Rumor has It that all, Cali fornia Intends doing la to make a secondary road connection with Ore gon's paved Pacttlo highway. California Plnnn 1ny. s While The Palles-Callfornla high way Is designated as a primary road by Oregon, thorv is no Inforn.ation available to show that California will connect with it. A rumor is current, however, that California may build to Alturas, which would enable a connection to Lakevlew. and this would make of great Importance the rond from I.akeview to Klamath Falls and Ashland. California wants to build up the coast to Crescent City and toward Oregon on the Crescent City-Grants Pass highway, which is on the Ore gon tentative map as a secondary road. The California plan. In this is correct; wii: not link up with the Koosevolt highway, hut there is now A Rood road from Crescent City to Hvo.'kings. Or.. tli southern end of the Roosevelt highway However, California's .plans and Washington's plans will be taken Into consideration with the plans of Oregon by the secretary of agricul- ture before the primary roads "of in tersiate character" are approved by that official. C'o-opr ration Is AMtared. Agreement was reacheH" with the federal representatives on a co-operative project for paving Sexton mountain section of the Pacific high way, on a basis of pavement 18 fet wide. Width requirements of the federal aid act being compiled with, three sections on the Old Oregon trail were also agreed on. Tillamook county was voted $35. C00 to match a similar sum to grade and rock about five miles from the Clatsop line south on what will be a eectien of the Roosevelt highway. A request for an overhead crossing at Juno, in Tillamook, however, was postponed for -the present as tbera is little traffic on the railroad. Inquiry was raised as to whether the commission1! willing to compro mise the Polk county situation, but the commissioners unanimously agreed that they would stand pat on their determination that the place for the highway Is from Monmouth south and not from Independence. " Bids Ordered Asked. The commissioners ordered adver tised for February letting the paving of Pacific highway between Albany and Tangent and the grading o.' the Camas valley section of the Rose-burg-Coos Bay highway. District Forester Cecil was asked If the forest department would put In $lj0.000 on the Trail-Prospect sec tion of the Crater Lake road, the state co-operating with a like amount, the money to be used for grading and bridges. Mr. Cecil re plied that It might be arranged if the state would stipulate in the con tract not to ask further aid from the forest department for surfacing the road. The matter was tentatively settled with he understanding that the phraseology of the. stipulation would be such that some time in the future the forest people could -atill co-operate if funds are available and the department sees fit. - It wreath placed on head of STATUE IX NEW YORK.

Statistics, showing that Portland lready is an established' wool mar- el, were presented by Mr. Ward, and he pointed out that it would be little short of folly to attempt to establish anoher wool market for the "SWiall clip produced in Washington. He de clared that the mills in the Portland district were now consuming 12.000.' 000 pounds of wool annually and that this is more than twice.as much as the entire state of Washington an nually produces. He added that the Washington wools are for the most part cross-bred clips which are used by mills in this district. The Portland Chamber of Com merce held a dinner Monday -night in honor of the Idaho wool men. C. C. Colt, vice-president of the First Na tional bank, presided at the meeting.

PROBLEM JS BIG ONE Question Also to Be Raised by Pro posal for Federal Punish ment for Lynching. BY MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyright. 1B21, by the New Tork Evening Post. Inc. Published by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON. D. C. Jan. IS. (Special.) The proposal to make bonds Issued by states, c'.tles. town ships and villages subject to the fed eral income tax Is going to revive what has Been one of the oldest and most vital issues in American poli tics. It is anywhere from 10 years to half a generation since - "states' rights" used to figure every day in the debates of congress. Most of the fights went against the states, and in the swift and drastic centraliza tion of power at Washington that oc curred during the war states' rights almost disappeared as a live issue At this moment, however, it is coming rapidly to the front, not only in connection with the project of putting a federal taxi on state and other, local bonds, but also in con nection with the Dyer bill to make the crime of lynching a subject for federal action, together with the project for a federal department of education tonhave some k:nd of cen tralizing effect on public schools and other institutions now wholly under control or the states. Tax Move Most Drastic. Of all these movements, present and past, probably the most drastic pro posed invasion of states' rights on the part of the federal government Is the Proposal to put federal restrictions on tne OI the states to Borrow money. The movement arises out of the income tax. When the owner of a large fortune invests In the bonds of a private busi ness corporation, he must pay from 25 to 50 per cent of his Income in taxes. But when he invests in the bonds of the states, cities and vil lages, he need pay no Income tax on the interest. The result has been that private business corporations, borrowing money, must pay roughly from 614 to thi per cent, whereas cities and towns can borrow it at from 4 to 6 per cent. It follows nec essarily that private corporations have difficulty In borrowing, while states and cities can borrow freely. To get rid of this handicap against private business, there were two fea sible remedies. One was to reduce the highest taxes on Incomes to some thing like 30 per oent or less and thus to restore In the mind of the large investor something like equality of attractiveness between the bonds of private corporations and those of states and cities. This was the remedy Harding pro posed first. He recommended it in a letter to congress, bur congress turned it down. Thereupon Harding, in his last address to congress, rec ommended that state and city bonds be made subject to federal taxation the same as the bonds of private busi ness corporations. This could only be done by means of an amendment to the constitution of the United States, and it is to consider the ad visability of such an amendment that the hearings are now being held. Federal Revenues Affected. It must be admitted that the', pres ent situation is not only hurtful to the federal government's revenue, but that it also has an Indirect effect not widely noticed. It puts a pre mium on 'the municipal ownership of public utilities and promotes it rreat- ! ly. Any given gas company or elec- trie light company or telephone com pany must pay from 5V4 to 74 per snt for its borrowed money, whereas he same company. If 'urned over to the city government, can borrow its money at from 4 "4 to 6 per cent. The resulting stimulus to municipal own ership !s readily apparent. There still remains, of course,, the alternative remedy that Harding first suggested-, namely-, a reduction of the higher surtaxes on large incomes to something like 25 per cent. The project for an amendment to the con- s.tltution by the acton of three f the states would take at fourth .On WINTHROP HAMMOND CO. i v Correct Apparel for Men ' 127 Sixth Street, Between Washington and Alder Streets 4t least two years' time under the roos favorable circumstances. And. as a Matter of fact, the project would en counter the most stubborn opposition and revive the old states rights 'ssue in a vital form. -. The Dyer bill authorising the fed eral government to take cognisance of lynching and punish It in the fed eral oourts has given rise to earnest debates In the lower house of con gress, i It was initiated by the republicans to fulfill a platform promise, and the democrats claim it is put forward largely to make a republican appeal to the. negro vote, which is so large as to be decisive in such doubtful ! states as Indiana and Ohio. Southern democrats say that lynching Is al ready decreasing through the only sound means by which it can be de creased, -namely, by the growth of local public sentiment against It. They say further than for the federal government to Interfere would mere ly make the whole troublesome race question worse. Undoubtedly It is the view of persons who are most enlightened and free from partisan prejudice that the best hope for amelioration of the racenestlon in its largest aspects lies in Tocal treat ment of It without the Interference of force from the outside. The race question has grown steadily less troublesome in proportion as the fed eral government has repeded from the use of force, which was a cardinal republican doctrine in the generation following the Civil war. . Bntler Opposes Project. p The project for a federal bureau of education has been opposed by Nich olas Murray Butler, president of Co lumbia university. In words which include the following: "In the United States. In flat de fiance of all our proclaimed prin ciples and Ideals, we are building a series of bureaucracies that will put to shame the best efforts of the gov ernment of the cshr of Russia in the heyday oT its gloryr The glories and the success of education in the United States are due to Its freedom, to its reflection of the needs, the ambitions, the capacities of local communities, and to its being kept in close and constant touch with the people themselves." All these related measures are re viving the old states' rights issue. Broadly speaking. It can be said that many thoughtful persons both with in the administration and outside It hold strongly to the conviction that the present post-war" period should be a time for diminishing rather than' increasing the functions of tbe federal government. AFTER L PLEA TO rSE PORT TO SENT PACIFIC COAST. BE Council Acts'" tVith Intent of Re establishing Volume of Shipping Handled for New England. BOSTON, Mass., Jan. 17. (Special.)
