rENDLETOX, Or, Jan 24. (Spe
cial.) A meeting .of representative
T'matilla county farmers, called here
today to discuss the respective merits
of the co-operative marketing plana of
the Tri-State Terminal association
and the organization committee of the
"Washington Farmers' union devel
oped into a rather bitter debate dur
ing the course of the discussion.
To determine the merits of the two
proposals a committee of 30 men, rep
resenting seven wheat growing coun
ties of Oregon, were named this after
noon. The committee will meet here
two weeks from today to decide on the
proposals." The plans differ little, so
far as outlined here today, except
that the one fathered by the Washing
ton organization committee and out
lined by Aaron Shapiro of San Fran
cisco, attorney for the committee,
proposes a non-capital stock concern
with a warehousing corporation as an
adjunct.
Eqnal Benefits Denied.
The objection raised to the tri
state terminal plan is that it is a
capital stock concern and that all
"who contribute tJheir wheat may not
benefit equally in the prices received
for the pooled wheat unless they
should b stockholders.
Both plans contemplate the organ
ization of farmers representing 23 per
cent of the wheat of the three states,
Oregon, Washington and Idaho. The
tri-state plan would use its present
organization as marketing agent.
The Washington committee's plan
would provide a new organization
-which -would take charge of the mar
keting of the entire pool, which, its
proponents estimate, might include 60
rer cent of the wheat of the three
states.
After deducting the marketing ex
penses the returns from the wheat
would be distributed among the farm
er members in proportion to the
amount of wheat each contributed to
the pool, regardless of the time the
wheat was placed in the hands of the
nrt-'iriT'il inn ctr timA Anil Tl r- i i ' P at
which that particular lot was sold.
The farmer members must contract
to deliver their entire crop, less seed
and feed wheat, to the organization
for six years.
Under the committee's plan, a ware
housing corporation would also be
formed which would buy or lease all
available warehouses in the districts
organized. On delivery to the ware
house, the farmer would receive the
usual grade receipt on Which he
would be able to secure his advance
at the bank, according to the ar
rangements which had been made by
the marketing organization.
Profits to Be Split.
As the wheat was sold, after the
hunk-'e rtbl i rrn t inn-a liar) hoAn mat tl
returns over and above the actual ex
penses of warehousing and marketing
would be distributed proportionately
among the farmers contributing to
the pool.
The organizations would be con
trolled by a directorate elected by the
members from their various districts,
and one member to be appointed by
the dean of the college of agricul
ture. A force of experts finance,
statistical, traffic and organization
would operate the organization under
the direction of the directorate.
The decision as to which plan will
be adopted, if either is. rests with the
following men, who were appointed

RECLAMATION HOPE HELD
Percy Cupper Says $250,000,000
Appropriation Is Likely.
SALEM, Orl, Jan. 24. (Special.)
Every assurance has been received
that the bill appropriating $250, 000,
000 with which to supplement the
United States reclamation fund will
be approved by congress, according
to Percy Cupper, stale engineer, who
returned here today from Washing
ton, 13. C, where he attended a meet
ing of the executive committee of
the western states reclamation asso
ciation. Mr. Cupper says the conference was
attended by six western governors
and that the representatives and sen
ators from the Pacific coast states
promised to use their influence in
obtaining the appropriation. As soon
as the bill becomes a law Mr. Cupper
says another meeting will be held
by the executive committee to ap
portion the appropriation among the
various states included in the association.
DEMURRAGE IS SUSPENDED
Oregon Action Temporary and Due
to Kederal Regulation.
SALEM. Or., Jan. 24. (Special.)
Demurrage regulations put into effect
by the Oregon public service commis
sion some time ago were temporarily
suspended today because of their con
flict with the demurrage restrictions
made operative by an order ot the
federal railroad administration of
ficials. Suspension of the state de
murrage regulations will remain in
effect only until the return of the
lailroads to private ownership, ac
cording to members of the commission.
Discrimination on the part of the
government in favor of the transcon
tinental railroads is said to have
caused the commission to remove the
state demurrage regulations.

IEPREDATIOXS PROTESTED TO
AUDUBON"" SOCIETY.
Sirs. A. J. French of Carlton De
clares Stray Bullets Make Wood
land Patches Dangerous.
A protest against the depredations
f hunters on farms where game
birds are being fed and protected was
voiced last night by Mrs. A. J. French
of Carlton, who addressed the Audu
bon society at the central library.
She declared that in the country dur
ing the hunting season one hardly
dares venture to walk in woodland
spots for fear of picking up stray
shots. Many sheep have been victims
of careless sportsmen, she declared.
Mrs. French, who lives at Maple
wood farm, where birds receive spe
cial care, wpoke in commendation of
the work of William L. Finley. "His
educational films," she said, "would
help much in reducing the cost of liv
ing, for the farmer suffers a heavy
loss through harmful birds. We
know and appreciate Mr. Finley. He
is the friend of the farmer and his
lectures have made a great impres
sion on agricultural people."
Mrs. French's address was illustrat
ed with pictures of game birds and
of the muiiicip.il game refuge at Lake
Merritt, in Oakland, Cal., which she
eugge.Hted as a plan which might be
carried out in Portland.

WASHINGTON", Jan. 24. Return of
pending anti-sedition bills to the house
judiciary committee for modification
of provisions attacked as too drastic
was indicated as the probable action
of the rules committee, which closed
itr hearings tonight in application
for a special rule to expedite passage
of this legislation.
The rules committee is expected to
make its decision next week, but
committee members said the protest
that, had arisen against both the
Sterling senate bill and the Graham
house measure made it appear neces
sary that they should be modified
either- by the Judiciary committee,
which framed the house measure, or
upon the floor of the house.
Gompen I. Attacked.
Three witnesses were heard today,
Jackson H. Ralston, counsel for the
American Federation of Labor and

league, opposing the bills and charg
ing Attorney-General Palmer and the
department of justice agents with
violations of constitutional rights in
connection with some phases of the
campaign against radicals, while Rep
resentatives Blanton, democrat, Tex
as, and Davey, democrat, Ohio, urged
enactment.
Air. Blanton declared congress must
squelch anarchy" and attacked Sam
uel Gompers and the labor depart
ment, which, he said, was "honey
combed with anarchy."
If the sedition law failed, he said.
congress would "bear the mark of
having bowed to Gompers."
jvir. itaiscon sought to discuss ac
tivities of the department of justice
and asserted four men had been ar
rested and detained a week without
warrant in connection with bomb ex
plosions at Attorney-General Pal
mer's home here last Mav.
Mr. Palmer Crii-i-d.
"The attorney-sreneral has violate
the constitution." Mr. Ralston said,
adding that "his subordinates had
done so and the attorney-general has
had every opportunity to know they
did it."
Mr. Ralston said Mr. Palmer should
have been asked whether existing
laws had been enforced, "whether sne.
cial agents of the department had not
violated the freedom of the Deonlet
whether they had kept men from suf
fering under violation of the consti
tution by these special agents."
section 6 of the penal code. Mr.
Ralston said, provided for prosecution
of all persons who conspire to over-
tnrow py rorce the government of fh.
United States or to delay execution
of any law of the United States, and
met every case the new bills were de
signed to cover.
"In view of the plain provisions of
that section." Chairman Campbell in
terposed, "and of the decision of the
federal court in the case of Wells vs..
the United States, in which four per
sons were indicted and convicted un
der the section on a charge that they
advocated the overthrow of the Gov
ernment by force and violence, why
does the attorney-general ask for an
other law of similar import under
which he might proceed? What is his
excuse for delaying prosecution where
the tacts require prosecution? Was
the fact that it would be embarrassing
for him to answer these questions the
chief reason for his failure to appear
before this committee?"
German-Mexican Line Started.
DOUGLAS, Ariz.. Jan. 24. As a re
sult of the activity of German con
suls in Mexico there has been ar
ranged a steamship line between Ger
many and Mexican ports which will

The chill, culminating early yesterday-
in a light silver thaw, began
shortly before 10 o'clock Friday night,
when sleet fell Hid a strong, bitter
east wind prevailed. Toward morn
