HOUSE DISCUSSES,

. Verbal Lefts and Rights Ex
changed; Duel Committee
Asked by Carew
. "WASHINGTON, Feb, 16,
twtAP) The house worked itself
-Sift a aeriprcomic pugilistic moot
today with a postmortem, discus
sion oj: the. three - recent; congres
sipnal fist fl&hbtit the debate,
like the bouts, -went .down-in the
books as a, "no" decision, affair."
The rerbal lefta and rights, pre
cipitated by presentation of two
proposals for a code of ethics for
future encounters, were only thin
ly gloved with Jocularity at times,
and at that resulted in a tenta
tive agreement between Represen
tative Blatnon of Texas and Dick
stein of New York for meeting in
the house gymnasium. Potential
spectators who dodged the foot
steps of the two all afternoon,
ready with the cry of "fight,!
fight," were disappointed - howr
ever, for nothing happened.. .
For a time the chamber took
on a free-for-all appearance
which, although entirely vocal,
would have inspired the promot
ing instincts of Tex Rickard-
It all began when Representa
tive Carew of New York read, a
resolution calling' for creation of
a "joint and several committee of
the senate and house ,- on chal
lenges, bouts, fights and duels,
and requiring that future "bouts
be-fought to a finish." Blanton,
who figured'With Representative
Bloom of New 'York; in a scuffle
yesterday in a committee room,
took the reference to himself.
Shaking an emphasizing forefing
er in Carews face, he shouted:
"I have been able to maintain
every position I take, mentally,
physically, and every other way."
Carew with serious countenance
; nodded rigorous agreement, but
Dickstein interrupted to accept
- the challenge and Blanton agreed
to "take you on any time," sug
gesting the house gymnasium and
the late afternoon as. the proper,
place and "time.
The Carew resolution came in
simultaneously with one by Rep
resentative Gallivan of Massa
chusetts, who proposed a, - house,
boxing board to promote , future
battles, with Representative' Up
shaw of Georgia, as permanent
referee.
The bouts would be fought in
Statuary Hall "under the patern
al eyes of the fathers of the re
public," and the wearing of hip
iV-ika 'would be barred. Speaker
vjngworth, who yesterday made
irta unofficial" observation, that
hpuse members should be re
quired to "weigh in" each morn
ing, would be chairman, ex-officio
of the board.
Carew proposed that no fights
start without suitable preliminar
ies, which would consist of "a
specific, particular, detailed and
profane reflection on the intelli
gence, veracity, ancestry pr re
ar ligion of one member by another."

charging Ballagh but' said he
could not recall them.
It was admitted by Eakln that
automobiles belonging to the state
fish commission were used in the
recent campaign to eliminate fish
wheels from the upper Columbia
river. On various trips these cars
he said he was accompanied, by
Representative Mott. He denied
that the expenses incident to, the
trips were paid by the state fish
commission. '
It also was brought out at the
hearing that prior to the time
Ballagh was discharged as master
fish warden, Eakln and J. S.
Hayes, another member of the
commission, had talked things
over, i
Eakin testified that he had re
ctived courteous treatment from
the investigating committee, and
denied that he had said that he
would not be called as a witness.
An attempt was made, to show
that the state hta spent, f large
ums or money in building a
flume at Gold. Beach, which was
in the interest of the Macleay
canning interests.
Representative, Mott, when
asked, by Senator Banks if any of
the witnesses he had requested to
hare i suhpoened could ; give, any
information regarding the present
fish commission, replied in the
ft negative. . . - -
hsf Ballagh denied that he had at
any time failed to cooperate with
the commission. He charged that
the lack of cooperation apparently
was on the part of Eakin and
HayesL majority members of the
slate fish commission.
The witness testified that on
several occasions he- had dis
charged employes for Inefficient
service and later had discovered
thta, they bad been reinstated. Ho
also denied that he had at any

said Ballagh, "I made it plain that
I would, not play politics and I
kept my word." t
r Ballagh testified , that at one
time Hayes was delinquent in, se
curing hia bond, and. also, had
failed to .file a report with the
commission, in connection with his
crab operations.
Testimdnyt also, was given by
Mr. Ballagh to corroberate the
statement made by fiJakln that
state automobiles had been used
in the recent campaign to put qver
the fish wheel bill.
Mr. Ballagh said none of the
members of, the commission gave
him any reason for his discharge.
He said, however, that the com

pauper at 65V f a man has. been
a good citizen of the United States
for 15 years and has contributed
to the support of the government
for that length of time they.should
be supported." It was Mr. Mott'a
opinion1 that the only, difference
between.- the present method of
taking care of old people and this
law, was in application. The cost
to the state would, be less and, the
unfortuntae poor, would , not be
harassed by the thoughts of spend
ing their declining years at a, poor
farm. Mr,. Mott advised the hpuse
"that when you have - as good a
bill as this before you, one that
has been tried out, pass it, so that
this session of the legislature shall
not have did in vain-"
Representative German, opposed
the bill in that it would not elim
inate ppor farms as some of the
inmates were in such condition
that they would, have to be left in
the hoinesv, Mr McPhlUlps offer?
ed a poem in opposition which
went to-how that the bill If pass
ed would be an Incentive .for peo
ple not.to work, knowing that they
would be taken care ol in their Qld
age by the state. "
The bill to attempt to assess all
property in the state of Oregon for

company receiving instructions
its cash value met defeat in the
house yeatjerday. ',t
It provided for a reappraisal and
survey of all . lands t oir"; the purpose
of, Classify ins ""them Into four
groups, namely: Farm lands ! of
several grades, timber lands, mln
eral lands, .and all other lands not
classifiable as above mentioned.
It would place the whole mach
inery of taxation In tha state un
der a state tax commission.
Mr. Chindgren. the author, of
the bill, believed that it would In
crease the assessed valuation of
the state two or three million dol
lars, and would have enabled the
state to equalize it's valuation,
Objections to the bill' were that
the cost of reappraisal would, be
comparatively too high for the
revenue derived therefrom to war-
rant its passage.
The bill providing that the state
board of forestry shall have auth
ority to provide, in the event the
owner does not, adequate protec
tion against fire during seasons of
fire " hazard failed to pass the
house yesterday.
- The, -only reason for the,. defeat
of the bill was that it provided for
the salary of the state forester to
be $3600, and that the board of
forestry might raise his salary to
not, exceed $4200, the difference
in the two sums to be paid by
money contributed by the United
States government for forest pro
tection, in this state.
. Being what the members have
been coached to trample on, a sal
ary raise, they voted against. It, in
spite of the fact that the rai&f
would ijot take money out of state
funds.
