(United Preaa Leased Wire. Washington, Sept. 8. President Wil son's tariff bill was the center of the fight in the senate today and is ex pected to pass that body tonight. To morrow it will go to the house and con ferees will be appointed tomorrow or Wednesday. It Is expected the recon clllng of the two bills will require a fortnight. The senate met at 10 o'clock today. After It passes the tariff bill. It Is ex pected there will be a brief vacation but the ohambcr will convene every few days and pass the urgent bills. It is hoped the currency bill will reach the senate within ten days but no one will venture a prediction as to how long it will remain before the upper hcajse. When the senate met today it was not expected that the Republicans would demand detail roll calls, there being lit tle) hope on their part to prevent the bill going through as per program La Pollette Is Objector. Vice President Marshall Is expediting action In every way he can. The prin cipal objections today are expected t come from Senator La Follette, who is expected to speak several hours in ad vocacy of certain amendments. - it is douhtful If voting on th various amendments to the tariff bill will be finished in time for a vote on the bill before midnlsht. During the day the Benate discussed the fundamental rlpht of wealthy men to pile up their millions. Senator Nor rls of Nebraska said tliat an inner'' tance tax effectively applied would break up those huge aggregations of capital and strongly urged ' 'i amend ment to the tariff ill providing for such a tax on all bequests. His plan provides for taxing irhrljaJrtce up t.i su.uuu i per cent, ana graauai increases until Inheritances above $50,000,000 will pay the public 15 per cent. Norris Booras Toosgar Generation. "This." said Senator Norris, "would not take from anyone a single dollar he had any part in creating. In every In stance, bo far as I have observed, where persons have inherited a million dollars or more they have never raised a ffnger toward UReful work with their accumu lated wealth." Senator Norris then reviewed the pro gress of the Astor fortune. "The trouble with this Inheritance tax," said Senator Clapp of Minnesota, "is that it tends to reconcile the people with the system of allowing one man to live In idleness and luxury upon the toil of millions of his fellow men." Clapp bitterly denounced Andrew Car negie, expressing "hope for the day when. Instead of the people waiting for the crumbs from Carnegie's heaped up banquet board. there will be but - one great banquet board, around which will sit all in tree and Just enjoyment of what all have earned." Senator Norrjs asserted that his amendment would have given the public $44,0u0,0l)0 of the $94,000,000 inherited by Vincent Astor from his father.

FACTORIES ON COAST Government Official Here Get ting Data on the Potato Industry, To secure data on the potato Indus try in Oregon to use In a government bulletin on the possibilities for starch and glucose manufacture in the Pacific coast country, Charles O. Moore, epe- clal representative of the department of agriculture, arrived in Portland this morning and be&an his inquiries at the Commercial club. He expects to lea.ve for San Francisco tonight, to return to Portland later and pursue a more de tailed investigation. There are now no starch or glucose factories on this coast, Mr. Moore ex plained, and the department is desirous of encouraging the Industry. With the vast acreage and enormous yields of potatoes, however, often largely in ex cess of the local demands, the depart ment believes the utilization of this product would prove of immense eco nomic value. Mr. Moore this afternoon called on a number of railroad traffic men to se cure a general idea of the potato situ ation throughout the territory tributary to Portland and will make similar in quiries at San Francisco. On. his return here, Mr. Moore will go Into the details of shipping, marketing, facilities for manufacture and general questions re lating to the finished product.

The precanceled stamp is designed to do away with the necessity of having the postoffice clerks cancel stamps on second, .third and fourth-class mall, thereby saving much time. Money also will be saved, because the malls can be handled mors rapidly, it is pointed out. The scheme has worked successfully in the east.

Salem, Or., Sept. 8. Repudiating a petition prepared by State Treasurer Kay and State Kngineer Lewis, the state desert land board today forwarded a new petition, clean from all personal matter, to the secretary of the interior asking for an extension of time on the contract between the government and the state, with relation to the irrigation project of the Deschutes Land company of Lapine. The petition forwarded to day asks for an extension of two years, and contains but brief recital of the grounds upon which the extension is asked. The original petition, the one signed by Kay and Lewis, among the' things alleged that the governor was responsl ble for the delay in the prosecution of work on the project, and alleged that every statement contained in a letter sent to the secretary of the interior in his fight on the project was false. The governor unearthed this petition and has forwarded It to the interior depart ment, and it will now be up to the other members of the board to explain, es pecially in view of .the fact that today they repudiated it, and forwarded a new petition which is void of all the matter to which the governor objected. The governor contended that the or iginal petition was false and libelous, and established a record to this effect at a meeting of the board, Lewis ad mitting that the statements contained In the petition were false. . . Those signing the petition forwarded today were: Secretary of State Olcott, State Treasurer Kay, Attorney General crawrora ana state Engineer Lewis. According to declarations made by mem bers of the board today, it was neces sary to repudiate the old petition fn order to obtain the signature of OlcoU to the petition forwarded today, he re fusing to sign any petition which branded as false all statements made by the governor in his stand for a con tract which would operate for the bene fit of the state and settlers.

HASTENING OF WORK ON PROJECT PLANNED $2,000,000 Appropriation by Congress Another Unit Which Is Proposed. The Chamber of Comerce adopted res olutions calling upon the Port of Port land commission and the Port of As toria to extend $626,000 in aid of the work on the north Jetty at the mouth of the Columbia river. The action was taken at a special meeting which was convened at 2 o'clock this afternoon. it is a unit of a proposed enlarged and quickened program of work on the north Jetty. Another unit Is an appro priation of 2,000,000 In the next rivers and harbors bill of congress, instead of 1860,000 now contemplated. By means of the increase working capacity may be doubled, the date of completion of the jetty decreased from six to thre years, and an economy be effected in the ultimate cost. TO secure the $625,000 a small in crease in the, forthcoming Port of Port land tax levy would need be made. The additional levy would be so small and the benefits so immediate and bo great that It is believed the plan will have strong popular support. In fact, it is the decided opinion of qualified experts 'that action resulting in efficient deepening of the channel over the Columbia river bar Is imperatively necessary to the preservation of the port and the increase of Its commerce due to the traffic of the Panama canaL The canal Is now nearly ready for the passage of small craft and will be open to world commerce within a year, it is reported.

"I regret to appear in opposition at this my first appearance as a member of the Ministerial association," said Rev. W. G. Eliot, "but I am utterly opposeJ to reading the Bible In public schools.
