THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1C2I. LEFT-OVER BILLS BIG URDEN FOR COMING CONGRESS Washington, April 13. (WASH INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR NAL) Each new congress has its special problems, antj the first ses sion of, the sixty-seventh congress, which convened on April 11,' is no exception. It has even more than the usual load, because of the prac tically' perfected" "jneasures- which failed when the last congress passed into history. ; " Ob the left-over list nas the army bill, which had pased both houses, bnt received a pocket veto at the hands'" of President Wilson, which carries a prom ise of new conflict over the size of the army, and the ' navy bill, which was ilibustered In. the seriate, and which in volves the fight over ; completion of the -naval building program of 1916. "'Then there Is the jsoldier bonus bill, which failed to reach a vote in the sen ate after passing the house; the cold storage bill, which went through con ference, but lacked a final vote in the senate ; the immigration bill, which also met with a pocket - Veto after passing both houses, and the farmer cooperative bill, to legalize farmers' associations. T V. a a n Al IL.l most" enacted by the; last congress, and will be urged for Immediate considera tion'ln the extra session. The army and navy appropriation bills. In particular, must be passed before the fiscal year ex pires on June 30, and the soldier bonus bill is 'Scheduled for urgency treat ment, along with the subject of im migration. ' jk TARIFF AND BEVKME PRESS Tariff and revenue legislation will i press from th beginning of the session, appearing firnt in the; form of the. emer gency tariff bill limited to agricultural products, to be followed by permanent tariff ripvisiion. whifh in ornrtprl tc make its appearance In the house about May 1. During April and May the sen ate finance committee will be conduct ing hearings' on the revenue question, and that 'measure is expected to emerge In the house by the end of May or early In June, by which time the senate will have started Its long debate on the tariff. ....;':.! Many other measures that made prog ress in the last congress will also have their advocates, and several of these will also demand early treatment. GOOD ROADS LAWS SOl'OHT Good roads' legislation, which the sen ate failed to reach in the last congress, is necessary if the federal aid system is to be continued. Reappointment of the membership of the house of representatives under the new census also requires action in time to prepare for the regular elections of 1S22. . The packer bill, which went through the senate, has won a widespread senti ment for action. r . Reclassification of federal employes will make an adjustment of salaries at the same time the war bonus system is discontinued.; it being agreed that the bonus will not be paid hereafter. EDUCATION BILL UP The bill for aid to education, under several different heads, would extermi nate illiteracy and promote teaching of the foreign born. There is a hopper-full of other meas ures which have already had consider able attention, such as the minimum wage for federal employes, infant and maternity aid, the budget system, the regulation of the coal industry, regula tion of dealing in futures, and foreign credits. The railroad cat is coming back, and there has been no peace set tlement with Germany. It looks like a long session, and there need be no won der that President Harding is slow to promise the vacation trip' to the Pacific coast that he admits he would like to make next fall. PIE HUNTERS ARE ADRIFT; DELEGATION IS NOT IN ACCORD Woman's Medical Lake Home Closed Spokane, Wash., April 13. " The Woman's industrial home at Medical Lake, ordered closed by Governor Hart on April 1, has been closed, according to T. E. Skaggs, head of the department of business control. The Eastern Washing ton hospital; for the insane will occupy the building, taking over the buildings and part of the furnishings. Those pie boys who are seeking jobs at the hand of the Harding ad ministration which would take them outside the legal boundaries of Ore gon to foreign lands are beginning to grow restive, somewhat peevish and a little bit angry; not angry enough, of course, to affront the dignity of the members of the Ore gon delegation, but angry Just the same. The various potential ministers and consuls and charges d'affaires who have their hopeful ambitions pitched towards the sunny climes of South America, or Siam, or Sulu, or otherwhere, are coming to the conclusion that there are toefmany stars and not enough teamwork, too much political jealousy and not enough cooperation in the Oregon delegation at Washington for anybody to get anything In the way of federal patronage that does not have to come to Oregon candi dates by operation of law. COOPERATION LACKING Where. In practically every other state, the entire delegations are making mass attacks upon the administration officials in behalf of their ambitious constituents, there is an absolute lack of concerted effort on the part of the Oregon senators and representatives. It is argued that should the Oregon delegation agree as a unit that this state was entitled, as a matter of patronage right, to one or more foreign appoint ments and press that claim upon the president or whatever official had the appointment directly in bis jurisdiction, there would be but little question as to the result. But the Oregon delegation is not doing this. Those interested in diplomatic appoint ments see great merit in the "committee of five" scheme advanced by Senator Stanfield, by which the entire Oregon delegation would meet, map out its pa tronage schedule, and then go forward as a unit behind the candidates It might select for recommendation, and appolnt- hment. But there are etumbliag blocks of political jealousy and suspicion In the pathway here almost to aa great a degree . as 1 concerns the various ' Jobs located within the state, j TOUGH PROBLEM AHEAD In the first place, to carry out the committee of five plan, even as to diplo matic positions. It would be necessary for the delegation to centralise on one or two Jobs, get right behind candidates for them in mass formation stay on the job until the appointment jwere made and forget the rest of the boys who want to go to Timbuctoo qr some place else. This, of course, would make the boys who were not picked and ap pointed mighty disgruntled, and they would be right here In Oregon to voice their disapprobation throughout coming campaigns, while the diplomats would be outside the voting radius' jand therefore politically impotent and Ineffective. As it is. each star playe on the dele gation is assuring each applicant that he is whooping it up for him i in the proper place, and leaving the impression, by inference at least, that if the Job is not landed it will be because the other four .members of the delegation . were asleep at the switch. j Oregon hunters of jobs,! both foreign and domestic, are rapidly Coming to the belief that it is a sad condition for Job hunters where their congressmen want to be senators and their senators want to hold the jobs they have. i I 3- Way The!
