The drat act waa a conspiracy on the
part of Lloyd-George and Churchill, to
overcome the moderate element In the
cabinet and assume the leadership of
the Liberal party. Sir Edward Gray,
secretary of state for foreign affairs,
got wind of this plot -and Immediately
made It public In a speech which took

CODE'S FATE
Battle Between. People and
Representatives of Vested
Interests Will Be Decided
This Week Issue Vital
to Commonwealth.
By Carl Smith.
During the coming week the bat
tle for a water code that will fix
the rights to water and conserve It
for beneficial use without surrender
ing the heritage of the people of
Oregon to private interests will be
fought. This has come to be regarded
as the biggest problem with which
the present legislature has to deal.
The bill' prepared by the Oregon
conservation commision has been
made a special order In the house
for tomorrow afternoon. The fight
is to be led by Chairman Brooke, of
the committee on Irrigation, and no
apprehension Is felt as to the result
in that branch. . The senate Is tb,e
point oi danger, tne place .where
harmless looking and insidious
amendments will have to be scanned.
Friends of toe blU are encouraged
by tbe developments of the last few
days ' "Two or three senators who
were hostile or doubtful hare given
assurances that they- will rots to
preserve the bill substantially as it
comes from the hands of the con
servation commission. They have
been brought to realise the danger
of adopting amendments that are of
doubtful effect, and some of tbe
senators have heard from home.
Aroused by the knowledge that an
effort to undermine the bill stood a
good chance of success in the senate
irrigation committee itself, the peo
ple of the Irrigated districts and
others who have been watching the
fight from the viewpoint of the com
mon good have been writing and
talking to their senators in no un
certain terms.
Committee Is Enigma.
Tbe senate committee on Irriga
tion Is still an enigma. Frank J.
Miller, who assisted in framing the
bill as a member of the sub
committee of the conservation com
mission, is the only member who is
frankly friendly to it. The other
four members are Merryman; the
chairman, Parrish, Bingham and
Beach. Not one of them is counted
as certain to favor the bill, and at
least two are known to have private
ly declared against it. If an un
favorable report comes from the
committee it would be no surprise.
and the friends of the bill would
have the burden of overcoming the
unfavorable action.
Bingham baa a bill of his own. It
has been commended as the better bill
