The house committee on public lands is expected with little delay to report the bill prepared by Its subcommittee for settle ment of tha Coos bay wagon road grant. and this means that the bill will In all probability pass the house without change. i The decision to grant SS per cent of the proceeda from sale of the lands and Umber to the counties of Cooe and Doug las, turning the other 71 per cent tnto the federal treasury, had been accurate ly forecast from the trend of earlier events. When ex-Governor West. Sena tor Chamberlain and Representatives Slnnott and Hawley appeared before the subcommittee a few weeks ago . and pleaded for more liberal treatment for Oregon their work was recosmlsed as a forlorn hop. ! The view of the committee was that the government's share should be In creased over Ihe terms of the law deal ing with the Oregon and California grant because of the greater propor tionate expense In revesting tltle By the terms of the bill the government will be called upon at once to pay 111.000 to the Southern Oregon company and more than $400,000 In taxes. ered this a -serious question," and the people are beginning to ask many ques tions about the reasons for not extend ing control over the substitutes. Senator Pomerem. of Ohio said he thought the food administration should not "delay an hour In fixing the prices of substitutes for wheat. He said he had noticed that aa soon as the use of a substitute is urged, the price of the substitute rises beyond the price of the other commodity. This led Senator Gronna of North Dakota Into a long dissertation against price fixing In general. He la atlll an adherent of the law of supply and de mand, which he believes would give the j roasysk.
