THE SUXPAT OREGONIAX, PO RTX AND, JUNE 7, 1914. LAND LEGISLATION DOOMED TO DELAY President, Even While Indors ing Plans, Puts Lesser Is sues in Advance. PROGRAMME FALLS SHORT Homestead Amendments and' Alaska Development Bill Jot on Wil son's List, Thougn of First Importance to West. OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash Ing-ton, June 6. In view of the fact that President Wilson will not demand action by Congress on the bills included In the conservation programme." be cause he fears that by so doing- he might Impede the progress of the anti trust bills. Western Senators and Rep resentatlves are satisfied that conser vation legislation will be postponed until the next session. The mere fact that President Wilson believes the five conservation bills ought to pass will not be enough to get them through. The President must insist on action or there will be none. Apparently it is the belief of the President' that if the House passes the conservation bills, the Senate will take them up In preference to the trust bills md sidetrack the legislation which the Jfresident regards as of first im portance. - The President overlooks the Tact that the Senate- can always find an excuse, when it wants one, to side track any legislation. President Puts Radium Flnt The five bills to which President Wll eon gives his personal indorsement, and in the order named, are the radium bill, the Alaska coal land leasing bill. the water power bill, the bill providing for leasing coal, oil and gas lands in the states, and the 20-year reclamation bill. This is almost the direct reverse of the order in which Western Senators Rnd Representatives would like to see these bills considered, and the measure in which the President is most inter ested is the one with which the West is least concerned.. Regarding the ra dium bill, there is no general sentiment among Westerners in Congress. The conservation programme outlined by the President takes no account of a bill to amend the homestead law in . way to relieve settlers of the bur den of the cultivation clause, nor does that programme include a bill, strongly urged by Secretary Lane, proposing to give local control of land and other Governmental matters In Alaska to a local governing board. Homestead Amendment Moat Irgcnt It is agreed by Western men in Con gress that the most urgent need is for an amendment to the homestead law, and next to that is the need for grant ing a longer term tc settlers in Gov ernment irrigation projects in which to meet their obligations and at the same time provide for graduated pay ments. There is just as much demand for the enactment of a workable water power bill which will release the water power sites now stagnant because of the lack of a workable Governmental policy. The Alaska railroad bill, which be came a law this session, will not pro duce the results expected unless the resources of Alaska are thrown open to legitimate development. All this desirable legislation could be passed by Congress, and most of it could be passed promptly if the Presi dent would say the word and bring to bear the same sort of pressure he ap plied to get action on other Adminis tration measures.

(Special.) By working a portion of their forces less than eight hours a day or less than six days a week, deoartment stores in the State of Washington will be able to pay such employes less than the J10 a week, established by the Industrial Welfare- Commission as the weekly wage rate for mercantile es tablishments, effective June 27. That some stores intend to try this experiment, using a portion of their employes only during the busier hours or eacn ay or the busier days of each week, is indicated by inquiries as to tno enect or the ruling, received by the welfare commission. .Labor Commissioner Olson reauested a ruling by Attorney-General Tanner on this, point, and the Attorney-General's office, in reply, calls attention to the fact that the minimum -arasra law provides for establishment of a "weekly wage rate" and that under this wording the commission has no power to establish a "weekly wage." By having half their employes report two hours after opening time each morning, department stores under this ruling would have to pay such em ployes only $7.60 a week. Similarly. Lwere .a portion of the employes called upon to work only the tTUslest four days of each week, their weekly pay womu do oniy 6. PARTY HARMONY FOUND UMATILLA PIONEERS HEAR DR. WITHYCOMBE AT PICNIC. Conference May Decide Whether Dem ocrats, Like Republicans, Will Hold Platform Conventions. OLYMPIA, Wash., June 6 (Special.) Governor Lister has said that he will maintain a neutral attitude in the com ing four-cornered light for the Demo cratic Senatorial nomination. That the "hands off'" policy is gen uine is indicated by the fact that his appointees here include many ardent supporters of ex-Mayor Cotterill. of Se attle, several backers of Hugh C. Todd and also some close friends of ex-Senator Turner, of Spokane. Judge W W Black, of Everett, fourth candidate is less strong, apparently, among state Democratic appointees. Judge S J Chadwick, of the State Supreme Bench" and fatate Senator David S. Troy have been urged, but probably neither will make the race. Whether the Democrats, like the Re publicans, will hold a state convention iSfyetri t0 ?rtft Pl8-tform for the fcenatoriai and legislative fight, may be settled next week as the result of a projected conference between Governor Lister and State Chairman Todd. Mr 7L d has asked for a conference with the Governor on the matter and also a8Jrl.tten the three cth- Senatorial candidates, asking their views. SCHOOL BOARD ELECTS C. IT.

HOW TO PREVENT ACID STOMACHS AND FOOD FERMENTATION By a Stomach Specialist. As a specialist who has spent many years in the study and treatment of stomach troubles, I have been forced to the conclusion that most people who complain of stomach trouble possess stomachs that are absolutely healthy and normal. The real trouble, that which causes all the pain and difficulty, is excessive acid in the stomach, ag gravated by food fermentation. Hyper acidity irritates the delicate lining of the stomach and food fermentation causes wind which distends the stom ach abnormally, causing that full bloated feeling. Thus both acid and fermentation interfere with and re tard the process of digestion. The stomach is usually healthy and normal, but irritated almost past endurance by these foreign elements acid and wind. In all such cases and they comprise over 90 per cent of all stomach difficul ties the first and only step necessary is to neutralize the acid and stop the fermentation by taking in a little warm or cold water immediately after eating, from one to two teaspoonf uls of bisurated magnesia, which is doubt less the best and only really effective antacid and food corrective known The acid will be neutralized and the fermentation stopped almost instantly, and your stomach will at once proceed to digest the food in a healthy, normal manner. Be sure to ask your druggist for the bisurated magnesia, as I have found other forms utterly lacking in Its peculiarly valuable properties. F. J. G. Adv.
