: ! ' "
Riven and Harbors Bill Probably
' Will Be Forced to Give Way
to War Contracts Legislation.
REVENUE MEASURE IS FIRST
-Naval Policy Must Be Settled and
' Army Reorganization Measure
Passed) Wheat Payment Is Up.
Washington, Dae. IS- CO. P.) With
only two months remaining, tha sixty-
fifth conrrea today had to dispose of
ths .bulk of the work of Its last session.
- which ends March 4.
When the two houses ret down to.
business strain after New Tear day
they, wiu nave Just 61 working days
before they must quit.
Getting the big revenue bill through
conference and finally passed la the
first thlnar on the calendar.
Only two appropriation bills the Dis
' trlct of Columbia and postofflce meas
ures -hare passed the house, and none
has passed the senate. The remainder
of .tho , appropriation bills alone would
make a full program for th short ses
sion with tho congress working at or
.tflnary speed.
Big Meaesres to Ge Orer
Tho nayal policy of the future must
bo gone, orer and congress must jrlvs
it Terdlot on Secretary Daniel's decis
ion for a navy "second to none."
An army -reorganization bill must be
passed. '.'. v- '
Provision must be mad for: paying
tho wheat producers the- guaranteed
pMoo of 12.26 a bushel for the billion
bushel wheat crop.
, Questions like the settlement of the
railroad policies and the government
f ownership of telegraph and telephone
lines will have to go over either until
tho next regular session or be put up to
a special session, providing one Is called.
Costraet Bill Is First
Democratic leaders believe the neces
sary work can be done unless some trea
sure Is deliberately blocked to force
special session.
The house Is expeoted to send the reve
nue bill to conference Mo"nday and then
adjourn over New Tear's day. Tho riv
ers and harbors bill has the call for
, Thursday but will probably be displaced
by a special rule for consideration of a
bill making verbal war contracts legal.
1 Both this measure and the rivers and
; harbors bill will require several days for
passage.
The war contract bill was given pref
erence at the Insistence of the war de
partment. Secretary Baker, Assistant
Secretary Crowell and General Goethals,
director of purchases and supplies, have
all told - congress they must have the
measure to prevent many firms from
going into bankruptcy.

Oregon win launch the 1919 W. S. S.
campaign without having brought the
1918 campaign to an entirely successful
conclusion. The state's 1918 quota was
more than pledged, but pledge keeping
has not been on a par with the pledge
making and tho state director says tho
shortage will be between 8700.000 and
9800,000. Oregon stood first In the
union in pledge making and apparently
will stand fourth, fifth or possibly sixth
among the states in percentage of pledge
keeping.
W. 8. S. pledges may be kept until
January 1, and It is hoped that thou
sands or pledgor! will make good their
word before that date for the sake of
their own and Oregon's honor.
