RITNER IN SEHATE
BEAN III HOUSE, IS
LEGISLATIVEPLAN
Personnel of Committee and Com
J i mittee Chairmanships Settled
s for' the Session in January.
v Oregon's legislature for 1921 has
been safely organized. It must meet
on the second Monday of January
and cast a few votes for Roy W.
Ritner as president of; the senate
and for Louis E. Bean as speaker
of the house, but that Is a mere
matter of form and detail. It is all
settled now, even to a good many
of the committees, and, in all prob
ability, practically all of the com
mittee chairmanships. .
There" has never been any doubt
about the safety of the house ' organi
sation, for Representative Bean of
Lane has never bad any definite . op
position since he started out to vget
the Job. But until Senator Eddy with
drew from the race for the presidency
cf the senate a few days ago there
was some apprehension here and there
about the safety of the senate organi
sation, though not much, for those on
the inside never believed that the
Douglas county senator could round
up the necessary 16 votes when it
came to the final showdown.
IDEAS ABE SIMILAB
It Is to be a harmonious session
that is. In so far as' the president and
the speaker may be" able to make.it
so for they have the same ideas about
the same big things that might and more
than probably will loom up in the path
of harmony. If no bricks jar out of
the senate or house organization wall
in the face of attack, the coming ses
sion will not witness so much storm
and strife as did the last. There may
be some question about just how ad
hesive the organization mortar may be
under strain, however, the answer to
which the stress and strain of time
will tell.
EDDY 1TEVEB HAD CHAKCE
Senator Eddy's friends in the senate
some of the frankest, at least admit
since the battle is over that the sen
ator never had a chance of election in
the final analysis. It was not in the
cards for him to win. Early in the
game Senator Banks, who had Faxrell
of Multnomah and Bell of Lane with
him, gave up the ghost of his ambition
and at the same time gave Ritner a
solid and decided lead. Eddy hoped to
get Hall of Coos, Edwards of Tilla
mook and Yamhill, Ryan of Clackamas,
Staples of Multnomah and some others
to Join his nucleus, but they went to
Ritner instead, and Eddy withdrew.
Ritner had IS senators, two more than
the necessary majority, sewed up in
hts sack before Senator Eddy quit.
They were Senators Jones, Bell, Porter,
Hall, Patterson, Farrell, Moser, Staples;
Banks, Norblad, Upton, Robertson, Eb
erhard, Dennis, Ellis, Edwards, Hare
and Ryan.
In furtherance of the plan that the
coming session is to be a business
session, the two presiding officers-to-be
held a conference in Portland a few
days ago for the purpose of canvass
ing the committee situation. It is their
desire that the parallel committees in
the senate and bouse should be so
constituted that their minds could eas
ily meet on controversial legislation
and thus enable the legislature to roll
along without bumping the bumps, as
has so often, been the case in the past.
Two years ago the roads and high
ways committee of the senate did not
get along at all well with its sister
committee in the house. , This time that
misfortune will not occur If Senator
Ritner and ? Representative Bean can
prevent It beforehand. Then there is
fish and game, taxation, industrial ac
cident insurance, labor .legislation and
various other .points of controversy
that are standing in the offing, poten
tial of trouble and sftlfe.
PATTEBSOJT FOB CHAIRMAN
Senator Patterson of Polk is to be
chairman of the aenate ways and means
committee. Herbert Gordon of Multno
mah is to hold the chairmanship of
the same committee in the house.
Moser and Banks both yearn to be
chairman of the Judiciary committee
of the senate. It would not be sur
Drlsinsr to see Eddy get the chairman
ship of revision of laws, for Ritner
has said that he will take care of his
late rival by good appointment It is
anticipated. Indeed, by those who have
watched the organisation of the two
houses take shape during the last
months, that the two presiding officers
will give more thought to making the
committees, and consequently the ses
sion, safe, than to the proposition of
reward for .support or punishment for
ODDOsitlon.
The highway commission, and with
it the highway construction program
stands at a crista The resignation of
Commissioner Benson Is merely an evi
dence of the deep-seated divergence of.
onlnion that has torn the commission
differences that have grown out of
urave and far-reaching theories of
business administration and practice.
Not only the never-ending controversy
about the type of pavement best suited
for use; but questions of business ad
ministration, the sale of bonds now or
later, forced construction now on a
high market for materials and labor
or later when: dollars might be bigger
In purchasing power, these and others
have bothered the commission and the
commissioners. And these questions
will come up In the legislature and
they will be difficult of handling.
The aged conflict over the fish and
game commission, and fish and game
legislation, is not dead. It will bob up,
and whether it will brew its usual
legislative storm will depend in large
measure upon the committees selected
to handle it in both the senate and the
house.
BIO DAYS IS SIGHT
Taxation legislation is going to offer
a difficult problem to solve. If it is
possible of solution by a legislature
constituted as legislatures usually are.
Fundamental changes in industrial ac
cident legislation are in the air. Anti
labor legislation is being cooked up for
Introduction. The Port of Portland
consolidation problem is to be met and
solved. Even prohibition legislation is
being talked of. Generally speaking, it
begins to look like there are going to
be some big days and nights between
the time the session opens and the
morning it adjourns.
But it is going to be a safe session
if tome legislative bull don't get loose
in the organization china shop. Sen
ator Ritner is not of a radical turn of
mind, and Speaker-to-be Bean has a
conservative record without a flaw.
Onslaughts on the existing order of
things won't go far with them and their
committees unless the onslaughts are
started from safe angles or unless the
organization jars loose and the steam
roller runs wild.

Suffers Two Million
Damage From Fire
New Orleans, La-, v. 20. (L N. S.)
Fanned by sKhigh breeze, a fire swept
the river front between Congress and
Independence streets here today, de
stroying a large section of the wharf and
causing a property damage variously es
timated at from 81,600,000 to $2,000,000.
Two steamers, the Poncelot and the
Truxillo, which were tied to the wharf,
were towed into the river barely in time
to save them. A great quantity of lum
ber was destroyed. All the fire fighting
apparatus of the city battled the flames.
