Senator Joseph followed with pyrotechnics more inrid than his colleague and by thi time there was a smoke screen all around. Senator Klep per backed Senator Banks with a -fnrther Attack on - the- Portlad commission and termed them as an Cxars. Then Senator Clark Aimed in by stating they were all mere laymen who bellevd the bill was right. Senator Tooie op posed the bill and so did Senator Garland. - . - The latter speaking when Sen ator Eddy arose and said that several persons had appointments which they 1 desired to keepu As It was1 ten minutes past twelve, the senate adjourned leaving the fate of the bill undecided. ; Arguments Resumed The arguments were resumed In the afternoon and the bill was opposed and defended by a flow of oratory that had not been equaled in the present session. Senators S. M. Garland, of Linn county was the principal man in the opposition forces, and spoke at length on- his objections to the measure, HeJ brought up .the ar gument that hotel managers of ho tels , and Joints of , shady repute would welcome the law in that it offered anoUjer.loop hole in which to escape conviction. He- also ob jected, that no penalty was attach ed to the measure, which he-asserted was merely! bill of license Senator Isaac p.r Staples , of Maltnomah county, in particular, placed more confidence in the Judgement of the six men com prising the municipal council than they would one man to decide the case in the circuit court. ; ; , Joseph Voices Protest - Senator George W. Joseph, also of Multnomah county, opposed the T bill in a speech against the prac I tlce of "landlordism." Under X thU system, he said, owners . of nouses in which joints are oper ated could formerly hand the business from father to son with no opposition from the city gov--ernment. The one renting the "'establishment would be prosecuted - but the legal owner," who had knowledge of the conditions, was Permitted to lease It the next day. To over come obstruction of Jus tice, a law was passed providing for the closing of any house in hich illegal conditions existed.

Jan. 21. Mem bers' of the congressional farm group are considering a plan to throw their solid strength behind some farm relief measure with the hope of getting legislation enacted at this session, f Just what form the bill will take has n6t been determined, but an effort will be ijmade to produce a measure which! will receive the endorsement of I the president's agricultural commission and the support of the farm group in con- gress. .--. -j . At a meeting I tonight at the capitol, called by Chairman Norrls of the senate agricultural commit: tee,, senators and representatives interested, in farm problems heard arguments in support of a modi- fled McNary-Haligen bill which w-adeXe4t0Jluita.iixigiaaljtptmJ at . the last session , of . congress from spokesmen for the American council of agriculture, j Is Jfot Preferred . i No indication was given, how ever, that this plan, more than any other, was being considered by the. congressional farm group as the measure; on wdich they would concentrate. Thei council's arguments in its support also have been presented to the president's agricultural commission. Senator Shipstead, farmer-labor. Minnesota, declared In the senate today that an extra session of con gress should be called if no agri cultural' legislation is passed be fore March 4. Similar sentiments frequently have been exhibited by other western senators and in view of the farm group's latest move, interest has been renewed in the efforts to get an agriculture mea sure through this session, since administration leaders j do not favor calling an? extra session.
