Reach House Today
Flnt Fight Will Be for Extension of
Tim for Debate From Original 15
Honrs How Allotted to BUI.
Washington, March 21. Democratic
leaders believed at noon today that
there was a bare chance of the resolu
tion providing for the repeal of the
exemption clause in the Panama canal
tolls bill coming up for consideration
in the house this afternoon. Considera
tion of the rivers and harbors bill was
being rushed In an effort to reach the
canal matter.
The initial fight on the canal bill was
expected to center in the demands for
more time for debate. A special rule.
under which the resolution wiH get the
right of way, .provides only 15 hours
for debate. Many insist that the time
bo Increased.
A real debate on the resolution was
expected to start not later than Tues
day. A final votewas expected either
Friday or Saturday of next week.

The only way to prevent waste of
water by consumers is to meter the
town and let everyone pay for what
he uses. We are using meters again.
One we had them, then removed them
and afterward discovered our mistake
and back they are going," declared
Oso&r M. Marx, mayor of Detroit,
Mich., who is known throughout the
United Btates for his great fight on
- the Detroit United Hallways, which
resulted in him securing reduction in
fares from 6 cents to seven ticket
for a quarter with universal transfer
privileges.
Mayor Marx arrived In Portland
last night from Ban Francisco, and
Is registered at the Multnomah. He is
accompanied by Robert Oakman, re-
tired, but who was Michigan's first
state tax commissioner, and Mrs.
Oakman. They are now working east

"1 understand that you are having a
local fight over a proposition to meter
Portland." said Mayor Marx. "Ot
course I am a stranger here and do
not feel that I can advise. Howevsr.
the metering principle in my opinion
! the right thing. Portland Is grow
ing rapidly Just like Detroit. We now
have more than 600.000 population, and
although we are constantly putting 'n
additional pipe lines Into the newer
districts, I know that the presence of
meters saves us much construction of
new lines because the meters stop the
waste.
