The effect upon this par tof the rountry will be incalculable. --" ;But it will have tremendous results in the life of the nation aa a whole. "As originally proposed, the "McNary - bill', contemplated f the reclamation of 15.WW.0O90 to 25.000,000 acres of arid land through the utilization of $250, T' 000,06 aa a revolving- fund.

It contemplates a reclamation of - 200.ooo.eeo to 3000.000.000 acres. In its turnovers it will become more than -12.009,000,000. "The modification of the McNary bill ,.- - means that the measure will have the support not only of the West but of the South and Northeast It means that sufficient support is now assured for its passage. "The entire operation will be under the irrigation district plan with five- . year turn over periods applied to re calimed units, As soon, as the lands are found to be double the assessed valua- ' tlon due to reclamation, the bonds may be sold anf the money returned to the government. The results will prove so great as hardly to be within the grasp of our tirsi imagination on the subject. - "When eventually reclaimed the area contemplated under the bill as I have said will equal the combined area of Belgium, Prance and Italy, where they ; have a population of over 80.000.000 ;. it - will equal the area of the British Isles ith pre-war Germany added, with 100.000300 of population. When all thi . ts taken into consideration I think the fears so frequently sprouted along the excess production and competition lines merely means this, that to make the sug geKtion is to answer It.

DE VALERA ASSAILED ' In the midst of a slashing attack on de Valera's policy. Sean Mtlroy, a deputy. supporting Arthur . Griffith r and the treaty, sprang a bombshell by-reading in open session he "oath" prescribed by de Valera as acceptable to him. The "oath" made no mention ef the republic but pledged allegiance to the king, dtf tertng in its wording only slightly from the oath prescribed by the treaty. Mil- roy wrung from deJYalerarthe admission that he has an alternative document "in slightly different form but substantially the same" aa the peace treaty signed in london. i ..J-.-- i ;-; ,1-1 .

"Is that more acceptable than the other oath? be demanded. "No." shouted de Valera' follower "Then." Milroy said, dramatically. era surprised. The cat is out of the baa;. That la de Valera's own oath." Immediately the Dail Elreann burst into a wild and a stormy battle of words. A bested exchange took place between the president and Griffith In which the conservative leader demanded Immediate publication of all documents In the case to which de Valera finally agreed. Reading the de Valera oath again, Mil roy said: .-' That Is de Valera'a shadow. Now you know what you are going to war for" Facts From U. S.

Overturf strenuously objected to postponing; consideration until this after noon, f He said that the legislature had been caAled to hear the proposal of the fair management, but it had been kept dilly dallying around with no concrete pro posals laid before it until it had become the laughing stock of . the state. He wanted to get right down to business. determine me matter one way or the other and go borne. Hlndraan objected to hasty consldera tion of the subject, insisting that it was too big to be hurried over, and joined with Kubli in the motion to put the entire consideration over until 4 o'clock. wnen we unuua proposal couia oe printed and laid on the members' desks ready for consideration with all the others. tTRGES POSTPONEMENT When the special order was announced in the pldst of discussion on the Kubli motion. Gallagher took the floor and suggested mat it was always the part of an Irishman so be peacemaker. He said that he could see a storm brewing and suggested that the entire fair con sideration be put over until early in the afternoon. Bennett then 'made his motion for indefinite postponement and the battle was on. - Belknap cautioned. the house against haste. He said that he thought me majority of the members believed that a fair would be desirable if some agree able plan of financing could be worked out. . Bean suggested that me only differ ence between the Kubli resolution and the Griffith offering was that the first provided for a property tax, while the second substituted that for a gasoline tax ; and he thought that the amend ments could be printed, put on the mem bers' desks and the subject taken up at 2 o'clock. FAVORS PROPERTT TAX He aaid he wanted the whole question to be fully and fairly considered and acted upon. , Bennett insisted mat me fair manager rdent had abandoned the idea of a prop 'erry tax and contended that to indefl nttely postpone me Kubli measure was merely one way of clearing me air and getting the subject down to the definite 1 issue upon which it now hinged. , Kubli said be still believed In the Justice of a property tax and that he thought -the Multnomah delegation did a a whole. Gordon - said Multnomah 'delegation was not trying to force any plan down the throats of the other members .but that it was attempting to have the mat ter given, fall consideration in the nope that an agreement could be reached by which the exposition could be financed on some basis acceptable to all. -fLEADS FOR, TAX Burdksk argued that me gasoline pro vision was only one item ta the Kubli resolution and - that ta postpone the whole resolution might throw the entire fair program into me wast basket. He said that , the Question of holding the fair was too bis to be-lightly or hastily considered, that if it was a good thing for Multnomah county it would be a good thing for the state as a whole provided some plan of financing it Is worked out. on a satisfactory basis to the upstats peopla. - ' "' V- He insisted to the bouse that all of the progressive legislation of past years by which the eastern and central sec tions of the state had been advanced and prospered had been enacted with the aid and support of Multnomah county and be contended that the outside- state ought now to give the fair proposal fun and fair considerauom. IOW .BEFORE HOUSE Kay leaned te the idea of the Ben nett motion, insisting that the property tax proposal was- a dead issue and that to pass the Bennett motion would mere ly be the elimination of dead matter out. of the final discussion. . Then : Hindnaaa raised bis point of order and the program waa pulled out of the held ef Burdick's motion to table. Kow that the house has the fair pro gram -up before it. the whole subject will probably be kept before the bouse until it is settled one way or the other aa far as the preliminary action of the house is concerned.
