THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING. AUGUST . 14. - 1221. The National Capital Senator Norris Resents Dethronement; From Leadership of Agricultural. Bill Oregon Entitled to Pro: Rata onjWar Trophies Dodson Assured Ship Allocation Consideration.' Norris Resents c Being Sidetracked ' i WASHINGTON, Auff. 13. (WASH INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR NAL.) The agricultural relief ibiH, it is hoped by the ' administration aid, Its sponsors, will , bring relief to farmers "frosen in", by lack of adequate credits, but in the"- senate it is causing grief. TwlVe. the deal has been switched and the leadership taken in turn from Sen ator Norris ' of Nebraska and Senator Kel(ogg of Minnesota. j Senator Norris, chairman of the sen ate committee on agriculture, brought out the bill originally, and by his posi tion would be entitled to the leadership. But the bill be reported contained a pro- 'vision for buying and selling the asrl- furnished Jin the cultural surplus, wnicn ran counter to the administration slogan of "Less ex travagance in business." It provided an independent agency for this work. ; t This, the senate leaders decided, would riot do. They determined that the authority for direct buynlg and selling should come out and th financing work given into the hands of ! the war finance corporation. It appears that1 they did I not consult Norris, but in due course of time Senator Kellogg arose in his place and offered what was understood to be the administration substitute. This was not the last twist, however. Th agricultural committee held a ses sion on it and reported a new measure as a substitute ' for the Norris and Kellogg ; efforts, ad directed Senator McNary ' to report this to the, senate,: and virtually placing the Oregon sena tor in charge of it. Tne committee sub stitute does not greatly differ from the Kellogg- substitute. I Norris keenly felt hisf dethronement, and exchanged tilts with both Kellogg and McNary. ' ". He declared that the Kellogg substitute was i banker's bill, that instead of permtttlnjg money to- be loaned directly to the pfoducer it pro vided for Joans to the '(speculator and profiteer," to be reloanad to the pro ducer, with a "rakeofr for the middle man in between. I This, characterization of the substitute bills was resented by Kellogg, Lenroot and other senators. Lenroot said the complaint among producers has not been that they could not obtain direct loans from the government, bkit that credit has been frozen so they could not ob tain ' adequate funds for their needs at reasonable rates, or at all: President Harding rather added to" the confusion than lessened It! when he came to congress with a message which it had been anticipated would bfe a strong ap peal for agricultural - relief. Instead of that It was an appeal for railroad re lief, with a few words in behalf of agri culture tacked on as a tall. The mes sage was nine-tenths railjroad and one tenth farmer. i"- When the president conferred with' senators a little later they informed him' ' that . he had played the wrong string. To pass the railroad legislation would require time and probably- postpone the date of a hoped-for recess. I The live string - is the question of the Norris . bin and its substitutes. The farmer is to be put ahead of the railroad, thej inverse of the president's message. Senator Norris is irreconcilable in his he has been took the same view as the senate and said they did not want to go into the "peddling business." - . "It ought - not to be done without peddler's license." said Representative Greene of - Vermont.- There might toe objection by members, of the peddlers' anion." .Representative Garrett of Tennessee, acting Democratic floor leader, said he thought the distribution ought to be confined to things of historical signifi cance, and he could see no significance in belt buckles, . bridle bits and sur cingles, which 'are among . the articles listed for distribution. "- As to the basis of 'distribution, there Is no dispute. ICacn state is to receive In proportion to the' number of troops war.. Oregon is cred ited with 41.671 men, .S7 of 1 per cent of the total, which figures out for that state 13 guns and howitzers of various sizes, including three of -the famous 75s, six trench mortars, 611 rifles. 87 machine guns, and a large number of small articles of army equipment cap tured from or abandoned by the enemy. Washington, with 63.775 men. will re ceive 1$ guns and howitzers, 10 trench moctars, 933 rifles, 134 machine guns and other articles in proportion. position, and badly treated. feels that He expected to have the hind him, but agricultural committee be! when the committee was iteady to adopt the substitute he commanded only two votes, his own and Ladd I of North Da koUt, against U2. For fthls result he blames the influence of the adminlstra tion, the banks, the speculators and the lobbyists. But the Kellogg-McNary- Lenroot view is that Norris has a bad Itmticr nnd thev have a better bill. Portland's Claims To Be Recognized WASHINGTON. Aug. 13. (WASH INGTON BUREAU OP THE JOUR NAL) -W. D. B. Dodson. representa tive oi tne Portland chamber of com merce, has been assured that Portland will have fair consideration Vnd full op portunity to present its claims with re lation td ship allocations when the new shipping board reaches that subject. Under the new arrangement of ship ping board affairs, the matter will first come before the three operating vice presidents, and particularly before , J. Bars ton Smull, who has charge Of char tering and allocations. While Mr. Smull has special jurisdiction, it is understood that in matters of importance he will consult with the other operating vice presidents before recommending action. In matters of policy the members of the shipping board, who are directors, of the fleet corporation, will have the re sponsibility of action, and it is assumed that the full board wilt act on such mat ters. So far the board has been occu pied . with questions of larger policy of operations, sale of -ships and organiza tion, but it Is said allocation matters will be reached "In a little while." Chairman Lasker has said' that he is In agreement with the policy of building up the smaller ports of the country, holding that the war has demonstrated the mistake involved in trying to make the country's commerce pass through one or two favored terminals on each seaboard. War Trophies Provoke Brawl WASHINGTON. Aug, jlS. (WASH INGTON BUREAU OTP THE JOUR NAL.) Legislation for distribution of cannon and other, capture war trophies among the statesr has again - struck a snarl in the house of . representatives," with almost an equal division of strength between those who want to appropriate 6400,000 to pay the cost of shipment and those who Insist that if aJ city or town wants- a cannon or a trench mortar or machine gun it should pay the bill. "Are you going to have me put a stamp on my bank check when I pay my grocery- bill to assist a needy gov ernment," asked Representative Begg of Ohio, "so that -we can pay for sending a cannon out to Utah or - Wyoming 7 - -, - J Representative Miller of Washington, who appeared to voice the sentiment of . a large majority of Far Western members, declared that it is not fair to impose the cost - of transportation on , small com munities far away from the war trophy depots, 5 whereas eastern towns would have only small' expense. Aside from this question of paying the freight'-which has temporarily tied up the bill -In- the house, there is -a more serious disagreement between the house and senate as to who shall have the say about the distribution. The senate passed the bill with a provision for distribution within the - states by the governors, which is the plan approved by the war department.' Members of the lower house insist upon having a hand in it them selves. .!.-!' . The house therefore amended the "bill to provide for distribution through - the senators and representatives from each state, acting as a delegation, with a pro viso that any member who does not de sire this responsibility may authorise the governor of his state to act in his place. The same dispute arose between the two houses in the last congress and re sulted in -a deadlock that prevented leg islation. ; Some of the - members of the house Vocational Board ' Is Saved TV7ASHINGTON. Aug. 13. (WASH ! W 1NGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR NAL.) The conferees of the house- and senate have "saved the life" of the fed eral vocational , board, which the sen ate proposed to abolish, by an amend ment to the .Sweet veterans' bureau bill. The board will be' limited to administra tion of the federal 'vocational act for training of civilians In. co-operation with the states. , - ! ' . The rehablitation division of -the boatd will be combined under one head with the war jrlsk insurance bureau and the rehabilitation and hospitalization work of. the public health service , in the new veterans' bureau. , ; : The conferees have agreed on a provi sion granting to soldiers for two years the presumption that if suffering from tuberculosis or nervous diseases the dis ability was contracted in service, and requiring the government to produce proof to establish the. contrary if it seeks to disallow a claim. ' The effort of the senate .to Increase the allowance -- for attendance for the blind from $20 a month to $50 was re-" Jected. - .- : , ' Fiscal Year Guide - , : For Mining Work WASHINGTON, Aug 13. (WASH INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR NAL. ) Chan gin g the time for doing mining work from the calendar year to the 'fiscal year, as proposed tn the Hay den bill passed by the house, is -expected to be a decided convenience and saving to -many claim owners, according to Representative Summers of Washing ton,; in addition to the extension of six months which it allows, from next Jan uary to July, for doing the 1921 assess ment work. ' . Mr. Summers, "when the bill was be fore the house, explained that it is often necessary to build a temporary road to the mining properties before the work can ! be t done, and this road may be washed out by winter storms, having to be rebuilt -every yew under the present law requiring assessment ' work to be done between the beginning and end of each calendar year. They can go tn in May," he said, with reference to the Harden bill, "and do the work for that year, and then they can remain over 60 days and do the work for the succeeding year. So in stead of building a road every year they can build the road once in two years, do a part of -the work before July 1, the end .of the fiscal year, and the work for-the next year after July L" The Hayden bill Is now in the senate committee. Effort to secure a further suspension of assessment work has been abandoned, but the passage of this meas ure will make the fiscal year the perma nent basis for future operations. Bicycles Startle Cochran Roadless Town Is Visited Cochran, Or., Aug. IS. When W. W. Arnold and A. . A. Feyeraband rode through Cochran Wednesday, residents of the town, which was originally settled in 1912. saw the first bicycles traverse Cochran's streets. ' '! , I V The young men followed the Southern Pacific right of way much of the distance from the coast, as the railroad Is the only means of entering this thriving town boasts. This railroad was completed through Cochran on its way to Tillamook in 1911. - - x During 1920 i when mills and camps ' were operating to capacity approximately 1000 men were employed ia this vicinity and an average of 100 cars of logs were being shipped in addition to several cars of lumber each day. The .one consolation inhabitants have i is the fact that they are untroubled by any shortage of gaso line that may occur, such as last year, or the high price of gasoline. Nor have they 'acquired the habit of looking over their "'shoulders in order to ascertain, if one of the numerous family - of Henry Ford be at their' heels. . Although the stillness of the forest was broken several years ago by the ad vent of the-donkey engine, and in .later years by the occasional droning' of forest fore patrol passing overhead, the honk, honk of the automobile is yet to be heard.
