Verbal Attack r
By a vote of 21 to 9, the senate
4 passed the Banks measure yester
day afternoon, providing that
v hotels, soft drink establishments.
and other places of business li
censed by municipal councils may
tpppal to the circuit court In case
their license is revoked by the
city councils The measure will
probably come up for first read
ing in the house today. -
Senator-Banks made an impas-
, gioned appeal for - the bill, ; de
nounced the Portland commission
generally and wound up in a
blaze of glory. 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.

The cash register of the Valley

resort filed with the police at 10
o'clock. Entrance had been gained
by lifting a window, which Iwas

Previous to the robbery the po

the manager, W, L. Phillips, to
the condition of jthe window and
tn other factors! that tended to
rive protection ! to a f prowler
These, however, were not regard
ed, as evidenced by-the robbery.
The robber forced a wicket: gate
which' was shaded from the itore
lights, and gained entrance to the
cash, register. Because the . com

the loss of only $16.50 was ns
tnJned. The wicket had I been

Group Wanted
WASHINGTON! 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

at . the last session , of . congress
from spokesmen for the American
council of agriculture, j

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.
