VERBAL CLASHES FIERY
Leaders on Both Sides Agree Only
I'nexpeeletf CireuBitance Can

WASH1JTGN. Feb. 2. Another
day of oratory and maneuvering in
the senate ended tonight with virtual
ly all elements in the treaty fight
agreeing that ratification seemed far
way.
Getting down to rock bottom in
their calculations, the leaders are
understood to have agreed that unless
soma unexpected circumstance alters
the senate alignment enough Totes
cannot be brought together either to
modify the republican article 10 res
ervation or secure ratification of the
treaty without such a modification.
In this situation a disposition be
came apparent among the treaty's
friends and enejnies alike to bring
the senate debate to an end and let
the issue go undecided into the po
litical campaign-
Heaervatloa Vote la Set
By unanimous consent it was
agreed to vote Monday on the reser
vation landing for two days and in
some quarters it was predicted that
a final vote on the treaty would be
reached next week. At least 20 dem
ocrats, it was said on both sides, ap
parently were determined to stand
aleatirafctly with President Wilson in
opposing ratification unless a change
cuuld be made in the article 10 res
ervation, which the president has
said would cut the heart out of the
treaty.
In addition there are at least 14
republicans and democrats banded to
gether in the irreconcilable camp
against ratification in any form and
it would take a total of only 33 votes
to deleat any ratification resolution.
Growing; Obatinacy Seted.
The determination uf the adminis
tration democrats to fight to the last
ditch for their position became more
marked and in some quarters it was j
intimated that they had heard again
from the White House regarding ar
ticle 10. Senator Hitchcock said no
new communication had come through
h'm.
As one result of the situation, the
administration forces and the irrecon
ciiables, who have been arch enemies,
have been thrown together in interest
and through their leaders, are under
stood to have agreed to keep in close
touch during next week's maneu
vering. They did so today, Senator
Hitchcock and Senator Borah, repub
lican. Idaho, a leader among the ir
reconcilable group, holding frequent
consultations.
In the same way the break between
Senator Hitchcock and the mild res
ervation republicans, with whom he
has worked for many weeks for a
compromise, was brought to an open
breach during the debate.
Clashes Ave Hharp.
In sharp clashes with Senators
Kellogg and Lenroot. of the mild res
ervation group, the democratic leader
declared that while they had posed
as friends of the treaty they had
worked by "contemptible" means to
line up the republicans for destroy-
' lng reservations.
senator Hitchaock also charged that
Senator Kellogg had conspired to
"help" pack the foreign relations com
mittee with enemies of the treaty,
an assertion which drew a heated de
nial from the Minnesota senator. He
said he had wanted ratification from
the first and added that while he
"congratulated" Senators Hitchcock
and Borah on "their new alliance" ha
could not wish them success.

gttnization. The announcement caused
aomethins mora than a mild sensa
tion. In addition to Dr. Kerr, presi
dent of the college; Chairman Pierce
id en the board of regents and so is
Jefferson Myers, who was also at
tending; the meeting.
The committee on resolutions han
dled the land and labor party rough
' shod. This committee consisted of
Lr. C. J. Smith of Portland; Senator
I. I. Patterson of Polk county; M. E.
Morton of St. Helens; M. 8. Woodcock
of Corvallia; H. B. Van Puser of Port
land; C. 1 Hawley of McCoy, and
Senator V. T. Vinton of McMinnvlile.
The party wse excoriated in the fol
lowing resolutions: 9
"Whereas. new political party has
been organised n Oregon which is
known as the 'United Land ami Labor
Party, and we are informed that this
larty proposes to make radical
changes i our state constitution and
Statutes, and to foist upon the people
a system of state socialism and single
tax which will result in bond issues,
increase taxes and will disturb pri-
ate ownership in laud, and
"Whereas, said united land and
labor party is supposed to be affil
iated with the national non-partisan
league, winch through its political
control of the state of North Pakota
now dictate its legislation; and
''Which condition has caused con
siderable strife among its citizens,
and we are informed has increased
its taxation and has been instru
mental in enacting some freak laws
resulting in great financial loss to
the citisens of that state, and owing
to the fact that we are passing
through a period of financial and
social reconstruction following- (he
great war we deem it unwise at this
' time for the state of Oregon to permit
herself to be disturbed politically or
otherwise by such organisation; and
''Whereas, leaders of said united
la ltd end, labor party of Oregon J
openly state that they propose to do j
for Oregon the same things, to enact 1
the same legislation, to exercise the j
same political control and to produce 1
the same conditions as the non-par- j
tisan league has created in North j
Pakota. Therefore be it
"Resolved, that the state taxpayers')
league denounce said united Land gnd !
labor party of Oregon as socialistic. I
undemocratic and a menace to the j
state of Oregon, and urges the people .
of the state to resist its efforts for
political domination in every possible
way; and be it further
''Resolved. That copies of this reso
lution be transmitted to the several
county taxpayers' leagues' of the
state, to the state grange, farmers'
union and other civic organizations,
and to the dally papers of Portland..
Sorlalln.lc Tendency Denied.
Mr. Coulter pre the floor and denied
tht the land and labor party is affili
ated with the non-partisan league,
mi.,1 explained that or.tniarrs of the
Jorth iM.'iota. movement admit the
party is socialistic and charged that
the resolution was a complete misfit
and contained statements which were
untrue. '
"And." hp, concluded. rm not in-1
terested in whether you adopt it or 1
not.- I
Only one vote was registered I ZZ
acainst the adoption of the resolu- j
tion, and that from J. M. Brown, j E
former president of the - farmers' -5
union. j
County executive, committees of the f
taxpayers leaguo ara directed, by
resolution, to bring to. the attention
of the people of ther respective coun
ties the following:
A. The united land and labor party
stands for single tax. f S
B. It proposes to establish in the !
state a number of public utilities, in- j
eluding retail stores and state banks, I
warehouses, etc., requiring large bond
issues, which wiJl pe a rirst mort
gage on all the property of the state,
and must eventually be paid off by
the taxpayers.
Tax Burdens Would Increase.
C. ft proposes great increase of al
ready heavy burdens of taxation.
D. The ladies oi the non-partisan
league, of which the Oregon land and
labor party is an offshoot, are social
ists, and stand for the abolition of
private ownership of land.
The executive committee will solicit
the necessary funds te carry on the
fight against the land and labor party
apd the county committees are urged
to obtain definite details from North
Dakota regarding conditions which
have been brought about by the non
partisan league.
In view of the coming special state
election, in whTch the electorate will
be called on to adopt or reject a num
ber of measures involving additional
tax burdens, the state taxpayers'
league indorsed a group of .these
measures as follows:
"Whereas, the special session of the
legislature caused to be submitted to
the people bills recommending the in
crease of the millage tax for the
maintenance of our three state educa
tional institutions; therefore, be it 1
"Resolved, That the State Taxpay
ers' League indorse said bills and rec
ommend their adoptionat the coming
election: be it further
"Resolved, That we go on record as
in favor of increasing the millage tax
for the education of the sailors, sol
diers and marines of the world war
be it further
"Resolved, That we favor the con
stitutional amendment allowing the
Increase of the bonded Indebtedness of
the state from 2 per cent to 4 per
oent for road purposes; be it further
"Resolved, That our educational in
stitutions be encouraged in every
way possible by the contribution of
good and sufficient funds for their
proper maintenance to better enable
them to teach pure and unadulterated
Ame.rican.sm; be it further
"Resolved, That we favor some sort
of a divided session of the legislature
in order that .better and more perfect
legislation may be brought about; be
it further
"Resolved, Ttynt every department
of the state use every effort to cur
tail the expenditure of public funds
when the expenditure of the same is
ncessary.
Tax for Teachers Favored.
Following a plea by Miss Leona I
Iarrabee, a high school teacher, the
meeting specifically recommended the
proposed two-mill tax for the grade
teachers.
Two hours or more were consumed
by a debate over the 6 pen cent tax
limitation. The league insists that
the law be retained, although City
Attorney LaRoche of Portland put up
an argument to prove that the ex
penses of operating the municipality
have so greatly increased that the
limitation statute is a serious handi
cap, In the opinion of the league, as ex
pressed in resolution, repeal of this
limitation would throw down the bars
to unlimited expenditure of public
funds and greatly increase taxation.
The tax limitation amendment, says
the resolutions, places no restriction
on the amount of taxes which a ma
jority of the voters of any taxing dis
trict may levy and the amendment
has proved to be a beneficial and re
straining influence upon excessive or
ill-advised public expenditure and
will continue to be a safeguard dur
ing the present abnormal times.
Senator Favors Limit.
Senator Patterson explained that he
voted against the amendment when it
was submitted to the people four
years ago, but after serving on the
ways and means committee of the
state senate he is convinced that it
is absolutely necessary and he is will
ing to spend time and money to re
tain the amendment. But for this
limitation, he declared, the appro
priations of the 1B19 session would
have been !'J,00.0uu more than they
wore and Portland would have had
to pay one-third of the- state tax.
The forenoon session was devoted
to an explanation of the land and
labor league principles by Mr. Coulter.
When he was through, Arthur Foster,
a former North Pakota farmer, was
invited by Robert Smith, the secre
tary of the state taxpayers' league,
to give his experiences. When Mr.
Foster was finished there was no
question about the adoption of the
resolution to fight the land and labor
party, declared an off -shoot of the
North Oak ota organization.
