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.

ihey had withdrawn previous pleas of not

paswinfT of sentences on the two brothers
until Monday morning In order to deter
mine whether the sentences should be

. 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. -

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.

"EE CERTAIN to know what really big
things are then do them." This
is a saying attributed to George Wash
ington. It . certainly is deeply character
istic of him, his work and his accom
plishment. In a certain sense it is the driving
force back of this great merchandising
institution. For a great work a really
big thing is not one that makes a big
show, that sounds a great noise. It is
rather a work that benefits the interests
of a great number of people.
The progressive and helpful activities
of this store are all directed to benefit
the lives of the people of Portland.
