P ; Congress todays took another step toward stamping- out revolutionary r violence In the United States. J The eenate passei the Sterling sedi tion bill containing authority sought by Attorney General Palmer in his cam paign against the "Reds." .The bill now i foes to the house.'

Patriotic cttiaens of Oregon have always stood by the men who fought their battle In the late warw Will you stand by ua la thla emergency f - . - t,; KLAMATH MATOR WIlES Mayor I. R. Stueble and the council men of Klamath Falls wired as follows 1 Wa are in hearty favor of the Bln aott Ml 11M and trust the Irrigation congress will adopt resolution asking Ita passage. The day for scheme such as this raid being; made on 30.000 acres of United States government marsh lands by the California-Oregon Power com pany and Its subsidiaries has long since passed. These lands when reclaimed will be the finest and richest agricultural landa in the country and will be worth tlOO per acre the moment patents are Issued by the I government. Reclaimed landa of similar character are eelling at fioo per acre today. "Secretary Lane's scheme to turn these vast franchises over to the power com pany are not unlike the raid made by Richard' Achilles Balllnger on the Alaska coal fields. Ask you do every thing in your power to expedite the Sin nott bill and aid worthy ex-service men." County Judge R. H. Bunnell and Asa Fordleoe, commissioner, sent aimllar ex pressions. WALLACE IS ELECTED r Fred N. Wallace of Tumalo, for aeven years secretary of the congress, was elected president Saturday afternoon, and the latter had asked that a unani mous ballot be cast tor Wallace, who la , m.. ma wtii ti itn tha measure and only one voice was heard when thej said to be the most tireless worker in 1 mars" were asked for. 8tnator Borah led the Opposition to the bill. The senate voted down decisively an ; amendment proposed by Senator Mo Kellar, Tennessee, to punish those ad - yocatlng peaceable as well aa violent revolution Several senators during the debate de nounced the refusal of the New Tork legislature to seat five Socialist mem bers. Indirect criticism of the house. which was at that time voting to refuse ' g seat to Victor Berger, Milwaukee (loelalist. was made by Senator Thomas, Colorado. The effect of the senate's action today Was to clear up the heretofore haxy line between revolution and reform. They decided that the bomb must be exterm inated, but that the ballot must be safe guarded. Repeatedly dui lng- the debate senators declared that the only way the government can survive is by protect lng the ballot POWER CO CHARGED i 1M SHARP DEALING (Oonfintwd Trom Pace One) flooded adjacent lands and brought loud protest. After much debate, the com pany la said to have organized the Doak at Brown company, and through that agency to have been the highest bidder for a 10-year lease on the 10,000 acres. ; Doak at Brown money, it is charged, would have diked the lake and commer cialized the lands to the absolute exclu sion of the publlo for SO years. In the meantime the government was to re ceive nothing in return but the promise that at the end of 60 years the power company would deliver Its lake dam to the government. "HOLD EM, OREGON" , Thomas Sweeney of Portland made an Oratorical entry on behalf of the Ameri can Legion In decrying the Mason amendment with' a leclai atlon that the American Legion did not propose to oountenance a side tracking of the In tent of Its resolution. "We don't intend to ave wealthy cor porate Interests Interfere In this," Sweeney declared. "Wi want no camou flage from the wealth of Klamath Falls r California." H. H. DeArmond of Bend arose to . assert that the Mason amendment rep resented the desires of private interests and asked that it be killed while the congress deferred to the wishes of the legion. Sweeney moved to lay the amendment on the table and with that accomplished by a loudly acclaimed rote, Harry Holgate, local counsel for the United States reclamation service, told of the difficulties of land settlement : and recited the department's activity In the matter. BRADBURT SCORES The real explosion came 'when Brad bury, proponent Of the original resolu tion, took the floor to score Holgate and the 'power company. "The California-Oregon Power com pany has threatened me with political murder and with every other curse its money can engineer because of the part I have taken In the fight to keep these Upper Klamath lake lands from ita : grasp and make them available to the people; They have kept a rich lobby at Washington and at Salem to defeat the right. "There are paid agents of that corpo r nation on the floor Of this congress, try ing by every hook and crook to work . their ends. -1 ask that the original reso lutlon be approved." He won the approval he sought through 1 sv thunderous chorus from the delegates, with no dissenting vote audible. LANE 18 BRANDED Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the In terior, was branded aa a party to the negotiations by Bradbury, who was armed with the telegraphed expressions ' Of sentiment of Klamath county officials and. Other. Among these messages was that signed by the American Legion men of Klamath Palls and by G. K. Van Riper, county treasurer ; C. R. DeLap, county clerk ; Burt E5. Hawkins, deputy Sheriff; Garrett Van Riper, deputy dork; J. P. Lee, -county assessor, and ' O, L Humphrey, sheriff, which said: , .""Will you please support Slnnott bill UStlt This bill seeks, to prevent leas ing 0.000 acres of government marsh . land to subsidiaries of the California Oregon Power company for a period of : Id years. Available publlo land for set tlement and entry . is very limited and the day of SO year leasee of the beet agricultural land in the country has long since passed.' There is not enough publlo land fit tor agriculture for more than t per cent ot the 4,800,000 men Who served in the war against Ger- , many, to say nothing of the veterans of the Spanish-American war and Philip- . pine.

Frank Spinning of Echo, who was unanimous ly elected secretary. P. J. Gallagher of Ontario waa named aa first vice presi dent ; Fred Phillips of Baker as second vice president, and T. C. Darley of Klamath Falls, aa third vice president. WANT BEDS DEPORTED Every resolution submitted to the res olutions .committee for study was. re ported back to the congress Saturday afternoon with recommendations for L their passage. Bach in its turn, al though some were halted for discussion, was passed by acclamation. These In cluded the anti-radical resolution of fered by Jay H. Upton, retiring presi dent, urging death or deportation for known reds and branding radicals as treason. Resolutions to open the Klamath In dian reservation to homestead entry were unanimously passed and will be sent to the state and national legisla tors with the power of the Oregon congress behind them. Such action would dispossess the 1100 Indians said to reside on the reservation. IMPROVEMENT URGED The congress reoemmended after long debate that the federal reclamation service take action toward the prompt Improvement of the Deschutes, Powder Valley and John Day reclamation projects In Eastern Oregon, and all others that have been or may hereafter be recommended. A recommendation that preference rights in filing on public lands be grant ed soTdlers in the late war received the hearty Indorsement of the congress, and another resolution that found favor urges an Increase in the remuneration of the state engineer. The last gathering ot the congress was held at the Portland Press club Saturday night, when delegates fra ternised with members of the state legislature at a smoker prepared by the club for their entertainment.
