THE OREGON DAILY . JOURNAL. POR TLAND. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 21, 1919. . HASTE RECL URGED FOR AMATQN BILL Rules Committee Asked to Expe dite Consideration of $100, 000,000 Measure. Washington, Feb. 21. tWASHING rTON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) Secretary Lane and a delegation of the house irrigation committee went before the roles committee today to aak it to report a'-nil making- In order Lane" .1100.000.000 bill for reclamation, of lands for returning soldiers. Lane is urging action by the present congress, explaining- the bill's purposes and the fact that the only hope remaining is through, ac tion by special rule. Representative Sinnott, seconded by Chairman Taylor of the house irrigation committee, fol lowed. ' Sinnott advanced the suggestion that the -rules committee, besides authorizing consideration of the bill, should make in . order an amendment actually appropri ating the money, pointing out that un less the cherry' is taken at one bite there can be no action by the present con press. This Idea found Instant favor with Lane and western members. Mem bers of the committee expressed appre- - elation of the situation and their atti tude seemed favorable. A decision probably will be made at the next meet ing of the rules committee within a few days. Bakers Surrender To Bootleg Charge Surrendering themselves to George Marsh. -chief --clerk of the United States district court, so as to clear their bonds men. Owen and Harry Baker, convicted on ' two white slave charges, appeared 1 ef ore ' Federal Judce Wolverton today and entered pleasaof guilty to an indict ment returned against them for alleged conspiracy to violate the Reed amende ment and for violations of the act, afer ihey had withdrawn previous pleas of not guilty. Judge Wolverton postponed the paswinfT of sentences on the two brothers until Monday morning In order to deter mine whether the sentences should be concurrent or a different sentence for . each offense. ROAD BILL IS NOW READY FOR SIGNATURE (Con tinned From Pica Om) attached as one step to meet an unem ployment emergency which is a serious problem of the reconstruction period fol lowing the world war. ThiB bill is the biggest piece of flnan- cial legislation ever passed by an Ore gon legislature. It is the bill In which the greatest interest of the present ses sion centered. With the senate chamber again crowd ed to capacity with a crowd looking for fireworks, the senate took up con sideration of the bond bill at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Senator Thomas fired the first gun by making a motion to go into committee , -of the whole, in order to strike from the bill the famous words, "having regard to strength, durability and resistance to wear." and aleo to strike out the emer gency clause and refer ' the bill to the people at the special election to be held soon. y Senator Handley replied that he was unalterably opposed to going Into com mittee of the whole to amend the bill, as he declared it would be unfair to the senators and to the members of the house as well as to the people of the state, who have approved of the bill. Recall Objectionable Words He said if the opponents wanted to kill the bill they should come out in the open and kill it and not try to put It to death, throuji camouflage methods r merely to satisfy those who are deter mined to get the paving trust "This fine speech by the senator from Tillamook." said Senator Smith of Coos, "may buffalo some of the senators, but it does not have that effect upon me." He said he objected to have the bill jammed down his throat without a chance to consider it in committee of the whole. He said those who insisted n the emergency clause were afraid of the verdict of the people Jf they should have a chance to vote on it. He pointed out that the very words .-rthat caused all the fight over senate bill i fi7 and were finally rejected are now in - the bond bill, and he could not under stand why some of the eloquent senators who supported senate bill 67 and rejected the four words are now saying this bill is all right. "It does not suit me," he declared. "I know we are to be defeated because everything is lined up to put the bill through, but In years to come it will be demonstrated that we were right." . Hbts All Jfecessary Fewer Senator Moser declared "that the com mission has been given power to squeeze royalty out of paving costs and he does not care about the four words in ques tion or any other words, just so long as the commission has authority to deal property with paving contracts. "We have all that power here, and there is no sense In going into commit . tee of the whole," he Insisted. Senator Hurley spoke in support of the emergency clause, and declared that the stock argument that certain senators were trying to protect the paving trust has been exploded by the action of the .senate : this morning passing the bills fc providing for the highway commission to test the validity of the patents on pavement. - "So far as the emergency clause is DANCING DE HOSEY'S BEAUTI FUI, ACADEMY 1ID aad WASHINGTON If EW CLASSES FOB BE GIXNERS START MON DAY, THURSDAY aaa FRIDAY evealngs Next Week.

AdV. concerned, said Senator Ritner. "1 do not believe there is one senator who haa any doubt as to what the verdict of th people would be if th bill was submitted to the people within xhe next six month or year." . Emergency Poet Exist He said an emergency doe exist and the road building program is one of th most feasible methods of meeting it. Senator Eddy said th emergency clause should be retained. Be la chair man of the reconstruction committee, and said as such he knew an emergency does exist and that a great unemploy ment problem will be upon the stat long before the people of the state would nave time to vote upon a bonding bill. Senator Bberdhard declared that th bond bill give substantially the same provision that were In senate bin 67. and he opposed the motion to go Into committee -of the whole. He said he did not want to strike out the words having regard to strength. durability and resistance to wear" In the connection In which they ar em bodied in the bond bill. He said he had not received on letter from his district protesting against the emergency clause, and the only criticism which baa come to hi attention was from newspapers which were afraid the bond bill would not be passed fast enough. As a matter of patriotism. Senator Jones of Lane urged the senators to stand by the emergency clause, and pro vide immediate work for the soldiers re turning home and others who wiH be seeking employment. "I don't see any reason in the world for going Into committee of the whole." said Senator Orton. 1f the bUl suits a majority of the senators, because if it is amended it will reopen the discussion in the house, and there Is no use in iolng that." He said he was surprisea alter tne bill has been passed by the house, that any one would raise the question as to the emergency clause. "The bill may have feature that many of us don't like," he continued, "but on the whole it represents the senti ment of a large majority of the mem bership of the senate and house road committees and the members of the two houses." Senator Strayer said he has always honestly and sincerely opposed the at taching of an emergency clause tc a bill unless a real emergency existed. "I do not believe that an emergency exists," he said. "I believe that when we are spending $10,000,000 of the peo ple's money the people should have a right to say whether our judgment was good and they approved of .1. If the emergency clause was not attached I would not onjy support the bill in the senate, but before the people, but as it is I am going to vote against it. "I do not. believe it is necessary to burden the bond bill with the protective measures that have been inserted iri the bill. That Is another reason why I do not feel free to vote for the bill. But notwithstanding that fact, I would vote ZOr tile Dill 11 Lilts ciiitri &vzny unuoc Aa t not attached." Senator Norblad said he believed the pec pie of Oregon were unanimously in favor of this bill going into immediate effect. As a general proposition the people are opposed to the emergency clause, but in this Instance the people are in favor of the emergency clause, he said. Read for Elaal Passage Senator Thomas said he bad assumed that it was pretty well understood in the senate what was going to be done with the bill, so the debate has been amusing to him, as he had not expected to stir . up a . mares nest by his motion. He conceded that those who believed an emergency exists which demanded the emergency clause ar honest in their views, the sam as the opponents to the clause are honest in their opinions. He made the motion, he said, with absolute knowledge that the vote would be against it. but he wished to give those who desired to have their position recorded an opportunity. ' The motion was put to a vote and was lost by a vote of 6 to 24. The six senators who voted for the motion were Dlmick, Lachmund, Lafollett, Smith of Coos. Strayer and Thomas. With this motion disposed of. the bill was then read the third time ready for the vote on its final passage. Bill Has So Safeguards Senator Orton took some time to ex plain various provisions of the bill, while .Senator Lafollett made a char acteristic speech in opposition to it. He waa followed by Senator Dimick, who attack'ed the famous four words in the bill, and declared that with those words in the bill the senate might as well have adopted the minority report on senate bill 67 and placed the words In that bill. Senator Dlmick also attacked the emergency clause, which he called cam ouflage, and said the legislature was putting in the hands of the highway commission $10,000,000 to be spent and proper safeguards have not been placed around the fund. I "Ti my mind this bill is the biggest, i broadest piece of legislation that was ever before any session of the leglsla j ture In the history of this state." said Senator Banks. He said as te bill has been so thor oughly discussed that he lioped the bill would be passed unanimously. People Back of BUI "The people of the sate of Oregon want this bill passed," he insisted. "Thefe is not a man on the floor of the senate who does not believe that his constituency is back of this bill." He said If there was any question about the sentiment of the people, he would favor referring it to them. He deprecated the action of the senators who would jeopardize the best interests of the state and follow their desire to punish some particular paving con cern. Senator Pierce said the constantly In creasing public debt would break civili zation unless some unforseen thing oc curred to stop it. He wanted to know if the people had lost, their bearings, and when th end would come. He did not consider it necessary to vote . this bond bill, he said, as there are sufficient revenues from other sources for road building. 4,M,M Coeld Be Raised " He said if the men who are behind the bond bill would get behind the Schuebel inheritance tax bin.' bis own personal income tax bill. and. other reve nue producing bills which are lying dor mant In various committees, a total of $4,000,000 a year could be raised. "But the powers that be," he said, "the big interests, the invisible government; are behind this bond bill. They want bonds as much as they want good roads. They could not stand to see old Oregon standing alone as an oa&js without a bonded debt." Senator Wood sprung the record of the 1917 legislre, to show that three of the senators who -spoke against the present bill, saying they wanted It re ferred to the people, voted against the $6,000,000 bond bill ' two years ago, al though it carried a provision referring It to the people. , SERVICE MEDAL FOR-;; FATHER MURPHY HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED Army Officer Highly Commends Portland Pastor for His Work With Sick Troops. Because he worked constantly with utter disregard for his own safety and health. Father E. P. Murphy, pastor of St. Patrick's parish, for 18 years a resi dent of Portland, and for the last year a Knights of Columbus chaplain, has been recommended for the distinguished service medal. The letter recommending him for the honor commended highly, his work in base section No. 1, especially during the epidemic of influenza. Even after he had been conf fned to his own room to recuperate, he received a call from a nearby hospital and Immediate ly answered it. The letter, written by Lieutenant Par row, assistant adjutant for base section No. 1, recommending the conferring of the medal upon Father Murphy, follows : "It is strongly recommended that Chaplain E. P. Murphy, K. of C. be awarded the distinguished service medal. "His work in this "base is the best recommendation that can be given him. During' the arrival of the largest con voy in this base in the early part of October, when Spanish influenza was at its height. Chaplain Murphy, with utter disregard to his health, worked day and night In looking after the comforts of the sick and attending to burials until he was forced to remain in his own room under treatment by the attending surgeon. "During this time he received a sick call from Saveney hospital and immedi ately left his room to carry out his mis sion, whjch resulted In his being confined to his bed for two weeks with influenza. "His conduct during the emergency has been commented on by a number of officers, and it is believed that. the dis tinguished service medal would be a fitting reward for his devotion to duty, although no thought of reward was an ticipated." Father Murphy came to Portland in 1900 from Notre Dame university, where he had been an instructor In mathemat ics. He at first went to Columbia uni versity here as a teacher. He later en tered parish work in the city, and was one of the prime movers In the prison correction movement. Finally he be came pastor of St. Patrick's parish and has remained there since. He went to France with the Knights of Columbus in July. 1918. He will spend one year in this work and then return to Portland.
