Position Prepared
. This howdown came : ' after
weeks of sparring for position,
after long counsels on plans and
after every possible effort had
been made to line up the republi

of depriving Governor Pierce of
his only opportunity of trying out
even in part the mandate given
him by the people, t

4 Citizens of Oregon will be cab
led upon to reject or; ratify it
federal child labor ' amendment
under provisions of HB No. 42
dumped in the house of represent
atives yesterday as a substitute
for House Joint Resolution No.
by Representative Woodward.
The bill dropped -out of a clea;
sky as far as backers -of the 2st
amendment to the constitution
were concerned. '! It was - tmfler?
etood that the resolutions commits
tee would report the matter during
the afternoon session but no in
timation was given regarding the
substitution until the bill was of
fered up for first reading.
Representative j Woodward at
tempted to speak during roll call
for a suspension of rules as a pre
lude to placing the bill upon Its
second reading but was ignored
by Denton O. Bur dick, speaker of
the w house. - The : rules ' were not
suspended and the measure will
come up again this morning, c
' Charges that individual mem
bers of the house are seeking to
evade responsibility for voting up
on the proposed amendment were
made by Representative Wood
ward, who was very bitter in his
remarks on - the stand taken by
the resolutions -committee.:
t "We want those opposing the
measure, to come out In-the- open
and make themselves known, he
declared. VAt the? very least.lt
appears that members ' of this
house are seeking to cover their
actions under the , subterfuge of
placing the measure before the
people of the state." ?
Representative Woodward de
clared that the bill be reconsider
ed at the opening, of the session
this morning. The results of this
motion, he said, would be suffici
ent to get the names of those op
posing reconsideration upon rec
ord so that those in favor of rati
fication may know just who it is
that is opposing the ratification.
Decided In 1926
The measure substitued for the
resolution, if passed, will bring
before the voters of the state at
the next bienniel election which
will be held early in November,
1926. The resoultion placed the
responsibility for final action and

Senator Dennis .Changes
Vote to Overcome Dead
lock? Contest Hot
With the vote standing; 15 to
15,!i Senator Dennli killed the
measure to abolish Income and in
heritance taxes in the state of
Oregon, by changing his vote, and
lining up on the negative side of
the : issue, j i Senator i Dennis took
that action when it; became evi
dent that the senate; had reached
a deadlock. It was the most hotly
contested bill to come up before
this session of the legislature.
. jjjjXn his Introduction of the meas
ure, Senator Dennis stated that
the bin, which is closely patterned
alter the Florida plaji, ,was an Ihf
vltatfon and direct1 bid for cap
ital to come to Oregon.: y
"We have often heard the ques
tion 'What la the matter wltJb
Oregon?" Senator Dennis aaid.
"The only thing that is the matter
with the state Is that we legislate
ourselves out of favorable opinion
with those who would come here.
It takes wealth, to develop Oregon
as it should be developed. Since
Florida has passed the amendment
to her constitution, abolishing In
come and inheritance ! taxes, the
influx of wealth has been tremen
dous. Florida is now classed as
having the best 'business condi
tions In the United States." ,
j Senator Dennis read dozens of
telegrams and letters from heads
of the many , large lumber indus
tries, stating that if the resolu
tion went. into effect, they would
take immediate steps towards -establishing
mills and j factories in
this state. "Oregon has every ad
vantage that any other state has,
but we are standing still." la sum
ming up his argument. Senator
Dennis said that the resolution
merely asked both houses to give
permission to the people 'of Ore
gon to vote en the adoption or re
jection of the bill. ; 1 -, '
The first member ' to speak
kgaiost the measure was .Senator
Garland, who characterized 1t as
"cowardly and vicious." "In turn
ing through the pages of the his
tory of our state, -Senator Gar
land declared, "you will find no
more cowardly, vile, of vicious bill
Was i ever : introduced, i Whoever
framed the measure was a wizard
at figures, and a genius at prOpo
ganda. It was drawn up, uncon
sciously oh t the part of Senator
Dennis. I believe. In the interest
of wealth, and for the mfllionaries
of wealth, and Tor the millionaires
to their heirs, without paying an :
Inheritance tax, and who want to
keep their money, without -paying
an income tax. I am pleading tor
the farmer who has to -go to the
bank to borrow money to pay his
taxes, and tot the small merchant
and property owner, -The burden
of taxation will bo on them. The
big lumber interests most come to
Oregon to establish : mills the
timber, elsewhere Is gone. Believe
me. Senators, if this bill passes,
we will have on one hand a peas

tocracy of wealth." -. t:x ; ,
