- Senator Fulton Expects to
; Transfer His 'Anti-State
ment Battle Senator La
Follctte Cannot Believe
Legislature Debased.
By John E. Lathrop.
Washington. Deo. 10. Senator La
Folletts of Wisconsin, Jn answer to
' Tha Journal's request for a statement
as to the proposal to Induce certain Ore
r gon legislators to repudiate their
"pledges under i Statement No. 1. said:
"As I understand the Oregon primary
' law and statement No. 1. an lnttma
- tlon from me or any other person of
a possibility that any Statement No. 1
; legislator would break his pledge would
be an Insult to the honor of the mem-
bers of the Oregon legislative assem
. bly."
The senators In further conversation
ald:
"Of course, the Oregon senatorial
contest Is a matter for the people of
: that state to settle without Interfer
ence from any- outside source, but since
apparently, efforts have been made to
induce legislators to repudiate their
pledges, an since I have been asked
for an opinion, the above statement
conveys my views."
It Is believed here that, now that it
lias been demonstrated that the attempt
to procure Interference by the national
administration and the incoming ad
ministration has failed, efforts will
cease In Washington and will hereafter
be confined to Oregon.
I learned today that Fulton's mana
gers had tried to induce Senator Borah
of Idaho to express an opinion that leg
islators should repudiate pledges, but
that he answered: "I cannot do that;
1 could not advocate such a course."

Commercial Bodies Fall In
With Straus Flan of
Team Work.
(Special DIcpatch to The Journal.)
Wanlilngton, Dec. 10. The fourth and
lawt of the series of commercial and
indiiHtrlal conferences that have helped
to make the present week a notable one
in the national capital was held today,
when the National Council of Commerce
met to elect officers, adopt bylaws and
perfect a plan to. be., followed by the
Council in its ""future work.- The ses
sions were held in the offices of the
department of commerce and labor and
were attended by eminent representa
tives of commercial organizations In
virtually every state of the Union.
The National Council of Commerce,
which was inaugurated by Secretary
Strang a year ago, has aroused consid
erable interest throughout the country,
about 60 commercial bodies from the
leading; cities of the United States hav
ing joined the council since its first
meeting., Secretary Straus has become
more and more convinced of the prac
tical value of this progressive organisa
tion, not only to the commercial activ
ities throughout the country, which can
through the council be constantly in
formed of trade opportunities abrd,
but to the various departments of the
government connected with the busi
ness world.
One of the features of the movement
Is the establishment of a permanent bu
reau of ti council in this city In charge
of a capable man, who can keep In close
touch with the government departments
that hfive to do with commercial af
fairs and advise the various commercial
Interests of Important matters that arise
from time to time and affect their
welfare. Similar bureaus have existed
for some time in uermany, Knglana,
Krance and other European countries
and have been found to be of Incalcul
able value In promoting their foreign
commerce.
LIMIT NUMBER

(United Press Leased Wirt.)
Washington. Dec. 10. Although they
Stated their belief that the anti-saloon
propaganda had spent Its strength and
the prohibition "wave" was receding,
the members of the National Liquor
league at their closing session yester
day agreed that It would bo to the best
Interests of the liquor trndo to limit the
number of saloons according to popula
tion. Resolutions were adopted declaring
that the "Industry has been over legis
lated, over abused and over taxed In
the furtherance of a creed or cult that
is basically un-American,- and declar
ing also that "the Anti-Saloon league is
a menace to good government, the qui
etude of communities and vested prop
erty rights, and exists for no other pur
pose than to provide occupation and
revenue for the members of a close cor
poration by the processes of perpetual
agitation."

Washington. Dec. 10. Marked favors
have been shown Governor Chamber
lain here by all promlneent people and
he has been a noted figure on every
hand. It has been told that the predic
tion was made that If he came here he
would be snubbed.
flovernor Chamberlain and J. N. Teal
were entertained at dinner last night
by Senator Bourne at his apartments
at Stonelelgh court.
Thomas R. Shlpp. secretary of the Na
tional Conservation congress, said to
day: "Chamberlain' plan Is ideal, in that
it meets the demands of the present sit
uation and provides amply for all future
time. It has tha unreserved indorse
ment of the national conservation
forces."
Chamberlain's address before the Na
tional Rivers and Harbors congress
conveyed cordial approval of the
policy which has been urged for several
years, favoring bonds if necessary to Im
prove all streams and waterways which
are potentially navigable.
The national capital is eating- red
Oregon apples today, 20 boxes having
been distributed by Teal among tha
newspaper correspondents and the dele
gates to the rivers and harbors con
ference. Governor Chamberlain expects to
leave tomorrow for home. ,
Chamberlain on Waterways. .
Governor Chamberlain made 'an ad
dress, at yesterday afternoon's session
of the rivers and harbors congress in
whicu he said the people ahould demand
from congress a bond issue, to meet the
costs of waterways improvements.
said there were signs of opposition to
the movement on account of the alleged
deficiency In the treasury Though he
eould not speak for other sections, hei
would pay unhesitatingly with refer-1
ence to Oregon that neither the sen
ators nor the. representatives would
dare to disregard the demands of the
people of the Pacific coast for greater
appropriations for waterways improve
ments. To oppose the policy, he said,
would mean political exile.
Bills Tor Oregon and the Coast.
Senator Pulton of Oregon yesterday
introduced a bill setting apart lands In
Oregon for a public park, Bo be known
as Saddle Mountain park. The bill also
makes provision for an appropriation of
$2,600,000 for Portland public build

Flint on Conservation.
Senator Flint of California, comment
ing on the report of the committee on
mineral resources before the national
conservation congress, said:
. T;ho seriousness of this enormous
waste, is appreciated more clearly when
it is remembered that our production
and consumption are Increasing more
rapidly thrtn the population of the
country. The federal government must
look to the states for the enactment of
laws looking to the protection of life
ana tne prevention or waste.

in IS90, according to Mulhall, was $15,
985,000,000, the United States being
credited with $5,150,000,000 of this
amount. Since that year the banking
power of tha United States has in

bank having been finally settled the
receivership was terminated.
Causes for railnres.
Noting the cause of failure of banks
