J THE OREGON' STATESMAN: WKUXESOAY, DKCKMIIKR 17. 1910 0 Mi : : SENATORS YET J PUZZLED OVER ROAD PROGRAM j : . i : Lawmakers at Washington Uniformed as to Plans of I President LEGISLATION HANGING Some Probability Remains That First of Coming Year I May See Shift WASHINGTON', Dec. 15 The bill embodying permanent legislation to meet the situation with -the return i oi tne railroads to private : controi. continued today before the senate but -with senators admittedly still in the dark as to the time President Wilson plans to turn back the roads. Director General Hines has sent to the president new recommendations as to ending government operation, but he would not discuss them to day and white house officials professed to have not information. Ketum Wait on Jegiislation. Many senators and some adminis tration orricers still hold to the opin ion that the president will not carry out his notice to congress of last j May, that government control will j be ended by January 1. They think uie lime ot the return will depend largely on the progress made' by con gress on the permanent legislation. Plans for the return of the roads by the first of, the year ja re ging for ward at the! railroad administration however. Administration office con- ' tracts contain a 30-day release clause so that theylmay be abrogate! at any time without great loss to the gov ernment, while materials ordered on contracts are being' obtained as lar as possible before the first of the new year. Nilit Session Held. In its effort to speed up "perma nent legislation, the senate held an other night session, but there a3 little prospects of final congression al action until after the holidays. Sharp opposition to some of the provisions of the Cummins bill un der discussion was expressed in the debate today and tonight. Senator Poindexter, Republican, Washington, attacked the proposal which the in terstate commerce commission would be authorized in special cases to per mit a lower charge Tor long haul than for a short haul, while Senator Frelinghuyson. New Jersey, argued provision should be made for assist ing the roads in financing their Im mediate needs after the return. To that end. he offered an amendment to permit them t6 borrow from the government out of a $500,000,000 re volving fund. 199 A E P" GIVE AN ELECTRICAL PRESENT THAT'S THE IDEA!

"After the exlpencie brourbt on to the club by the war. when the present board of d'rector took' charge. It found the club (after MraiKhteninj; out any amount of di-i putcd back accounts and bill pend ing! considerably worse off than' not hi nr. with about one hundred fif ty active member bringing in a rev- enue of $3.00.V0 to $250.00 pei month and about $750 to $1000 per mouth expense, including the fcn- eral overhead of salaries, rent. lirht. heat, water, telephone, telegraph, sta tlonery. magazines and other expens es, and the expenses of the various departments as well. The board of directors immediately sold the Lib erty bonds, which had Wn pur chased with money, which luckily for the club hail accumulated In by-gone prosperous years and it paid up the back indebtedness and former disput ed accounts with the exception og $1509 which is still owing, but wuich we had expected to clean up but was prevented from so doing by bela unable to finish our drive for addi tional memberships, which was dart ed during the fair.

The club is now cn a pay ing basis and although it has gone up against rising costs in every depart-. ment, it is being run as economically as in previous times although this has-been accomplished by holding down considerably on some of the club's former activities.

C PAULUS ELECTED COMMERCIAL CLUB HEAD (Continned from page 1 Japanese labor in this section of the state. He said that a large potato growing firm of California is buy ing up 100.000 acres of land in Ore eon and that the lar.1 will probably be worked . by Japanese labor. He also cited the fact that the potato king of California, a Japanese, has secured control of 14.000 acres of land in Oregon and will use Japanese labor in developing it. . Following the report of Mr. Paul ns. T. E. McCriskey manager of the club, submitted hi s report In which he told of Its growth In the year. Following the reading of reports and the election officers. P. M. lllin kensop of Willamette university was introduced and sang several solos. The meeting then adjourned to the billiard rooms for lunch. Mr. Paulus report in full follows: : "This meeting marks the passing of another milestone In "the caret. of the Salem Commercial club.' The year Ju3t past has witnessea an at tempt to readjustment against the abnormal and artificial conditions brought on by the European war. Humanity has struggled as Indlvio- uals but no concerted action has been ' and its scope of again increased. lWMtrd It Iral-,!. "The present board of directors has been very harmonious, no one having any special axe to grind or any personal proposition of his own o try to put over and although It has taken considerable time attend ing meetings, the members have de rived considerable pleasure froiu their work as the members of the club have shown by their attendance at meetincs and Interests 'their ap proval of the efforts of the directors. Our board meetings have been ln foimal and every member has been unselfish In his devotion to his par ticular part of the work. That the club is again on a pool successful working 'basis, however. the board believes is not due so much to their own efforts but the spirit and co-operation of the geiicr al aiembership In all work alt.ta them to do. It has been the aim of the board of directors to make tbe club as dem ocratic in its nature as possible c that everyone could have a chance to vo'.ce his ideas for tbe betterment o fbe community and no one would re ceive any preference. "If at any time we have failed by word or deed to convey the Impres sion, we hope you will give us credit fo- our good Intentions and firgive any oversight, no matter how large or - small. . lf any of you have felt that you have been discriminated against in list being appointed on committees, n.i (Especially tb? membership com mittee, don't "boiler." your chance Is coming. ! McOokejr Given Tribute. "Before concluding I want to men tion probabfy the most important thing the club did last year. It was successful In securing the services of Mr. McCroskey. "Mac" as we call him doesn't say much about what he is going to do. He goes and does it first. His efforts, we believe, have brought about-a closer co-operation of all the former disunited section of this county, to the extent that the antagonism of one district toward an other bas disappeared in the big i brotherhood of communities. w.Mcb consider Jointly! and unselfishly the. interest ot each tond all alike. "This has been considered an Im possible task but "Mac" has been re sponsible for its accomplishment and I the feeling in the other districts of j ine county, toward naiem is more kindly and co-operative than in half a century past. "This accomplishment of itself. were It all Instead of only a part ot what Mr. McCroskey has done, would) be sufficient to justify bis presence j In this Commercial club as manager.' liut this must come to a close, to j "Mac can tell you himself of some of the club's activities during th past year and prospects fcr the fu ture." announces that he will aries for bis four district d-p C.
