' Statements While McCum

PRESIDENT ACCUSED OF
4 USURPATION OF POWER
Attitude on Labor Conference
Held to Be Disregard of
Law
i WASHINGTON, Sept. S.rr-Presi-
dent Wilson's addresses to the coun
try in support of the treaty and the
league of nations evoked - DromDt
and spirited replies today from the!
senate floor.
j. Senators Borah, Idaho and Sher
man, Illinois, Republicans assailed
Statements by the president at In
dianapolis and Columbus. On the
Other hand Senator McCumber, Re
publican. North Dakota, attacked the
JO reservation adopted yest'rday
by the foreign relations committee
and presented fix substitute, reser
vations regarded as expressing view?
of Republican senators favoring res
ervations of a "mild' type.
Rorah Charges Power Abuse
r Referring to the president's state
ment at Indianapolis that . under the
league "we can mind other people's
Business," Senator Borah criticized
American military operations in Rus
sia, declaring such to be "a usurpa
tion of power," without authority
Vnder the constitution and for the
purpose of aiding Japan's Siberian
policy. " . . .
? Senator Sherman resented the
president's assertion in Columbus
that the international labor confer
ence authorized under the peace
would be held here next month re
gardless of whether the senate had
ratified the treaty by that time. The1
president's attitude showed a "con
temptuous disregard" of law. he said
adding that officials had been im
peached for lesser breaches.
McCumber Ha Substitutes
In presenting his proposed sub
, stitute resolution, iof ratification
Senator McCumber spoke briefly. In
lieu of the- committee reservation
to artiale ten: of the league covenant
he proposed a reservation merely de
claring that ' specific action be re
quired from congress to act as pro
posed by article ten should not be
violation of the covenant. The
Committee's reservation,- he assert
ed, would be "far worse" than an
amendment striking out article ten
and "Invites and encourages war."
J Other substitute reservations pro
posed hy Mr. McCumber would in
the main change only the- phrasing
of the committee reservations re
garding the Monroe doctrine, with
drawal from the league and action
on domestic questions. Two addl-
' tlonal reservations presented by hiro
provide for return of Shantung prov
ince by Japan to China upon adopt
ion of the treaty and for limitation
,of voting power of British colonies
In the league as to disputes with
the mother country. The latter two
provisions were covered by the com
mlttee as amendments instead of res-
' ervatlons.

Refusal of Legislature to In
crease Salary Main Rea
son for Change
Charles V. Galloway, who for
mo:e than ten years has been state
tax commissioner, yesterday sent his
reisgnation to Hen W. Olcott as gov
ernor and fcecretary of state, and to
State Treasurer O. P. Hof f. The res
ignation is effective at the pleasure
of the state board but not later than
September 30.
Frank K. Lovell, who has been sec
retary of the state tax commission
for several years, will be appointed j
commissioner and County Assessor !
Fisher of Linn county will be named
as secretary of the commission. j
Mr. Galloway will go to Portland
where he becomes head of the trust
and bond department of the Hibernia
Savings bank.
Galkmay First Commissioner.
Mr. Galloway accepts a position
that pays a higher salary than that of
tax comniisioner. Mr. Galloway's. sal
ary was one of those that the legis
lature of 1919 refused to increase.
He has been tax commisioner since
the inception of that department,
having been appointed by State Treas
urer George A. Steele and Frank S.
Benson as governor and secretary of
state soon after Governor Chamber
lain left office. Mr. Galloway has
served since March 2, 1909."
"The relations and associations in
and of the department have always
been satisfactory and agreeable to
me," says Mr. Galloway in his letter
of resignation. "The work has been
much to my liking and 1 should be
pleased to continue ia the position
were 1 possessed of sd"ic.ent inde
pendent means to make the matte:
of current salary of no vital conse
quence.
"I am resigning to accept the of
fer of an employer who will pay con
Eiderable more for my services than
the state of Oregon, in the final judg
ment of its last legislative asembly,
see IU3 able to pay."
Is Twice Reappointed.
(Mr. Galloway has twice been re
appointed as tax comn issloner, by
Governor West and State Treasurer
Kav in 1911 for a four-year term,
and bv Governor Withycombe, Secre
tary of State Olcott and State Treas
urer Ivar in 191o
Legislature of 1917 eliminated one
of the two appointive ia j:conim.3
sioners without changing the duties
of the commission or increasing the
salary of the remaining commission
er. During more than a decade that
Mr. Galloway has been commissioner
he has annually prepared assess
ments on nearly 500 public service
conrpanies and utilities with a total
valuation of nearly i8i',uu,uu
each year. Only twice have appeals
been taken to tne courts irom any u;
these asessments and in both cases
the commission was upheld.
During Mr. Galloway's incumbency
the tax corimis&lon has made 10 an
nual levies and apportionments of
ctato taiea to be. Daid by tne seTerai
counties, without a single appeal, dis-
nnte or delinauency in payment, me
total that has been levied and appor
tioned for payment by the counties
during that period is $25,503,903.80.
Held Important
For five years Mr. Galloway served
as a uKsltber-of the executive com
mittee of the Rational iax aboli
tion and is now a member of the
committee on odel tax syste, one of
k in.Mrt.int remittees. He was a

that would have been tapped held

proposal that would have netted

The Shantung provision, the president defended a the only
solution possible by which China can Ik assisted in her effort to

could not do that without concurrence of the American tnemlcr.
The right of revolution, he asserted, wax scrupulously preserved.

At K o'clock sharpthe presiden

The coliseum wan packed, and

The president was In tod need b
Governor Fred-rlck D. Gardner, who
said the people of Missouri never

the crowd cheered again.
Mr. Wilson' the "father of world

which had a secret service, he said,
but every other nation In Europe
also was spying on its neighbors be
cause they all had to be ready for

The league 0f nations without the
