Lcng Debate Without Any

WASHINGTON. ; Jan. 18.--
(AP) The senate was a forum
tor another prohibition debate to-
day as an attempt was made to
decide how much, it any, addi
tional money should be appropri
' a ted to enforce the laws under the
-.'ltth amendment.
' - The discussion sought to deter
" mine primarily how far political
: influence affected enforcement ofjs
the laws hut the debate ranged
orer the efficacy of the Volstead
act. its administration under Sec
retary Mellon and the best means
' to demonstrate its success or
failure. :

prohibition appointments are dic

Robinson of Arkansas, the demo
cratic leader and that party's
nominee for rice-president in the
- recent campaign, who declared
that the prohibition workers had
4 been mobilized to work for the
election of the rpeublican ticket.
- , Compromise Possible
i - A possible basis for' a comprom

republican. Washington, to make
$1,250,000 available for dissemin

tion by Senator Glass, democrat,
Virginia.
The Virginian proposed an ap
propriation of . $250,000 to be
used by the president, to make a
searching investigation of pro hi
bition, something-which president
elect Hoover has given callers to
understand he intends to do.
- N orris Flays Mellon .
Senator Norris criticized the
, administration of prohibition by
Secretary Mellon, but observed
that it would perhaps be wise not
to : judge the treasury head too
hastily, because he was not in
sympathy" with the dry cause
when he undertook to enforce it.
An observation was made by
Senator Glass, himself once secre
tary of the treasury, that all re
cent treasury heads, including
Mr. Mellon, had recommended
transfer of the prohibition bu
reau to the department of justice,
and that too much blame could
not be placed-upon Mr. Mellon be
cause he had many other duties
to attend to.
The transfer, however, Senator
Glass declared, has been opposed
by the anti-saloon league, which
he described as a 'political or
ganization." Senator Jones, a dry, asserted
that he would have- no objections
to putting prohibition enforcement
work under Mrs. .Mabel Walker
; WHlebrandt an assistant attorney
general. He said he had "a great
deal of confidence in Mrs. Wille
brandfs integrity."

Senate Will Hold Secret
Meet to Discuss Roy West
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. (AP)
Taking up the nomination - of
Roy O. West, of Chicago, to be
secretary of interior, the senate
spent almost three hours today
arguing whether his case should
be discussed in open, or secret ses
sion. After three roll calls it was
decided to keep the case behind
closed doors and debate' on the
nomination went over until to
morrow.
The three hour wrangle
brought to a head the long series
of arguments .in the senate about
the consideration of executive
nominations and the senators
were reminded again of the rule
that members are subject to ex
pulsion for disclosing what occurs
in secret meetings.

and Norris of Nebraska, republi

nomination urged the open ses

slon and recalled that all the
hearings on West's nomination be
fore the lands committee were
open to the rule.- Friends of the
secretary insisted upon the regu
lar procedure and a two-thirds
vote to open the doors was not
available.
By a vote of 38 to 34, the sen
ate also refused the forces sup
porting West's nomination and
he took charge of the contest to
day. Friends of the secretary are
confident of the votes for his
confirmation but they are doubt
ful whether a vote will be reached
by tomorrow.
lands Committee Favorable
Finally getting down to busi
ness today, the senate received a
report by Senator Glenn, republi
can of Illinois, from the lands
committee which voted 8 to 4 to
recommend the confirmation of
the secretary and a minority re
port prepared by Chairman Nye of
the committee. -
-Senators Nye and Norris and
others against his conformation
are opposed to West principally
because of his investments in the
Samuel Insull power utility com
panies. West told the committee
he had invested about 867,000 In
Insull companies and that he sold
these for about 8118,000 when he
was named secretary of interior
last August by President Coo-
lidge.

Bourbon Rebellion
Held Inevitable
"Governor Smith may" correctly
estimate some of the people of
some parts of the country, but In
making the arrangement men
tioned he demonstrated that he
greatly underestimated the inde
pendence, self respect and patriot
ism of the democratic hosts of the
cities, towns and open spaces of
America.
"Many democrats rebelled. Part
ly loyalty and insuperable objec
tions to supporting the republican
regime compelled many others to
tighten their lips and endure the
situation, but if I know them, they
will not passively permit them
selves and their party to be thus
enmeshed again."
Box said that he supported
Governor Smith in the campaign
and that several years ago he had
supported Governor Roosevelt for

the personnel of the state indus
trial accident commission to live
members. There are now r three
members of this commission.. Sen
ator Dunne's bill provides that one
member of the commission shall be
a woman, while the flflth member
shall be the state Insurance com
missioner. The Insurance commis
sioner would receive an annual
salary equal to half of that receiv
ed by the other four, members.
Anticipate Measure
For Quadrennial Session
Some officials declared that the
bill was Introduced as a sort of
a club over the accident com mis
sion. while' others said Senator
Dunne was : sincere and would
make an effort to have the bill
passed. Officials were almost a
unit, however. In opposing' the
plan tt make the state insurance
commissioner a member of the ac
cident commission.
Legislators said a resolution
probably would find its way into
the hopper early next week pro
viding for a session of the Oregon
legislature every four years in
stead of every two years as is the
practice at this time. Such a res
olution would have to be referred
to the voters for ratification or re
jection. It was argued that Ala
bama has tried out the four-year
plan of holding Its legislature, and
that It has proved successful. Most
legislators who have commented
on the proposed resolution Indi
cated that It would not be adopted.
Various committees will ewing
into action Monday night, and by
Wednesday a large number of bills
should be returned for considera
tion of the two houses. Approxi
mately 160 bills have been Intro
duced in the house, while 20 bills
have been received in the senate!
Most of the house bills were intro
duced by the repeals committee.
It was said that opposition had de
veloped in connection with a num
ber of the repeal bills. The pur
pose of the repeals committee is
to recommend elimination of dead-
wood from the Oregon statutes
At the 1927 session of the legisla
ture was one of the most active
committees.
President Norblad of the senate
spent most of the forenoon in his
office here, but left in the after
noon for Portland. He expected to
return to Salem sometime today
It was said that a number of con
ferences would be held here Sun
day night following return of the
legislators. These conferences will
have to do with bills now being
drafted.
