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.

"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

not hi nr. with about one hundred fif
ty active member bringing in a rev-
enue of $3.00.V0 to $250.00 pei

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

one hundred fifty members to lib

resident members and & associate

against rising costs in every depart-.

as in previous times although this
has-been accomplished by holding
down considerably on some of the
club's former activities. At the pres

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. .

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. .

"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
