Salem, Feb. . By almost unanimous
vote, the bill repealing th irancnise
of-, tha Portland Oaa company was
nassed by tha house last evening after
one of th hottest debates of th ses
sion. :
When th house waa called to oraer
at o'clock and th special order taaen
opr-th- first-report ontho-deak-of -th
chief clerk waa the minority report of
th Multnomah delegation, algned by
John Drlscoll aa the chairman of toe
delegation, and rcpmmen4'r
saga of the uregooian a oiu reptuini
tha aaa Trench lee. Aa aoon aa tn re
port had been read Driscoll moved Ita
adoption: ;
Freeman sprang to his root ana ex
plained to the chair that a mistake had
been made;' that the report read waa a
minority report and not th report of
th delegation to which th bill bad
been sent for -consideration and report.
He called attention to the fact that
tha delegation' report waa on th desk
reoommasdlnc a substitute bill which
provided for th repeal of all perpetual
franchises la. tha atat and ail privi
lege held by corporations In cltlea and
towns. H aaked for consideration 01
his report.
orea Minority Jseport. ,
Davey ruled . Freeman out of 'order.
He held that th delegation had no
right or power to make auch a report
aa it had made at this time for tha rea
son that the bouse waa under a special
order-calling for the consideration of
local, measures. . Ho said that the
minority report waa tha only on that
could come before ' the house for th
reason that it treated of a special bill
local In Ita natur.
in spit of protest Davey held th
houaa powerless tunder his ruling while
the -report of the minority waa adopted
and th bill passed to Its third reading.
Freeman under unanimous consent
forced th Introduction of his bill and
Its passage to second reading under
suspension of th rules. He had It re
ferred to ' the commute on corpora
tions whlre-th house took up th Con
sideration of county salary meaaurea.
Later In th evening when Davey had
left th chair and McCua waa presiding
Chapln called th Freeman blU back
from th commute on corporation
under a favorable report and aaked.
after th adoption of th report, for It
passage. McCu ruled iilra out- of
order and tho house eustalned his con
tention, whereupon . th bill waa made
special order for lu:! o clock thla
morning. - When th Oreaonlan's
cam up for paasaga It was passed by
practically a unanimous vote after aa
effort - to have it made a special order
to thla mornlnf at 10:41 o'clock.
Oregonlaa Spite Work. '
For a time vocal-firework -ruled th
house during the fight over, the two
bills. Charges" and counter chargea
flew back and forth between tho Mult
nomah members, showing that the dele
gation had split wide open over the
contention It was charged by Freeman
that Coffey and Drlscoll were not act
ing In good faith but war being used
aa th tool for th privet spit work
of th Oregonlan. He said that they
did not want tha repeal of all per
petual franchises, but only one. tie
maintained that It waa only a case of
th tail wagging th dog, that they
were doing only on little thing, when
they ahould go ont Into th midst of th
franchls abuses and abrogat them ail.
His bill, he contended, was aimed at

the measure went through the ordeal of
committee of the whole today and waa
adopted aa It cam from th hands of
Ita authors untouched, -ft is now being
engrossed and will be up for final pa
aag in th house in a day or so. It
fate In th aenate la now the aueatlon.
The bill waa called us under aneclal
order and It consideration began with
Keynolda of Marion In th chair. In
r h. hknntn. Vivta, mnveil tn Amend
th amount of tha appropriation from
1300.000 to 1250,000. stating a h made
th motion that it waa not for th pur
pose of crippling the bill, but In order to
bring out th sentiment of th nous.
II said that In conversation with th
government onghtoer-who- had mad th
estimate of the probable cost of secur
ing th lock under government control,
he had been told that It would take
IJ50.000 or 1(00,000 from tho atat to
mak half of tho expense. He thought
It would be wis to save what could be
saved, but that if It -waa not poeslble
for th state to get out for less money
than 1300.000 he would b willing to
support such a bill. , . . -
FarreU Tlfhte Maaanr. , '
Farrell of Multnomah was th chief
opponent of th bill. He eald - that he
had received as many aa 60 lettera from
hi large constituency in Multnomah
county asking him to us his utmost
efforts to kill the bill or one like It
th substitute were regularly - Intro
duced h would support It
"It la rth stealthy manner In whloh
thla blU was Introduced that ' I object
to." aald Coffey. Freeman waa on his
feet again'
Vow Freoedenf Established. "
The question Is whether thla mi
nority report will be adopted." ho said.
It la a question whether the nous 1
going to establish a precedent by
adopting: th report of th minority and
refuse to recognise the majority;
whether th house will tak tha report
of flv out of twelve and adopt It ; I
sincerely hope It will not.".
This is not a correct report saia
Northup again, "When th Mult
xi it I nomah delegation met thla morning
Bill 1 1 MnMBAM.atlvM V. .
When the Oregonlan'a bill waa - read
five voted for it, whll six voted against
It and In favor of th substitute bill. -'
"Chairman Drlscoll refused to sign
th report of th majority, and I sub
mit to the house that It la unfair to
adopt the report of tho minority, s
Drlscoll explained that h , had re
fused to sign th majority report be
cause h did not consider tho substi
tute bill a proper-report for the com
mittee to make. On a rising vot th
minority report waa adopted by the
vot of ti to S3. '. :
He contended that It waa only those dis
tricts dlreotly Interested In the measure
which were favoring It The locks as
they now stood were sufficient for all
purposes and the little cost of 10 cents
a ton waa nothing at all. .
Barrett of Washington aald he-had to
remember th platform pled mad by
him and vot against th bllL He aald
he did not consider that he could vote
for the bill and follow th wishes of the
people of his county. .
Burns of Multnomah did not believe
that the Willamette valley waa harmed
In th least by th present condition of
ownership of th Oregon City locka
He was opposed to the bllL "
Davey took the ground that he waa
compelled to support the bill for the
same reaaona that Barrett of Washing
ton had to opposs It He aald he wa In
favor of removing the SO cents tax from
thelacks In order that h might help to
lift the burden from th shoulders of
th farmer ' of the . valley and make
them the more able to meet the taxes
which were oppreaslng them. Ho waa
In favor of having th state remove the
obstructions from th gateway of God
throughout the state, wherever found,
and mak th waterwaya free.
- - Belief Front Corporations. '-"
Ho aald It waa th time to force the
corporations to cease holding up -be
people of the -atate by unjust charges
and discriminations. He contended that
when the obstruction waa removed from
one stream It helped all sections and not
that ona eectlon alone. What worked
for the good of one section or one set
of men worked good to all parta of the
state. '
Barrett of Umatilla a!d he waa glad
to b able to go on record for the bill.
The people of the valley had assisted
the people of Umatilla county to open
the Columbia and reduce freight rates
and he hoped that all hi part of the
atat would unit In helping th valley
In thle their time of trouble.
Chase said that tn hi opinion it was
to th Interest of every man in the
state for the bill to be passed and he
would support It - -
Various other member of th house
spoke In favor of the bill and when the
vot waa taken on th adoption of th
report of the committee of th whole
for the favorable report on th bill,
there waa scarce a dissenting vote. The
bill waa ordered to be Inarossed and
sent back to the house for third reading,
which will be the first of th week un
less special effort- 1 mad to bring.. It
to final passage today.- -

"Th majority of th Multnomah

go back to its constituent and tell
them that th men they, sent to the
