team gave a brief history, of , the
use . of the plea of temporary in

pictured '-present conditions re

Disappointment was destined "to
be their lot.- however, for scarcely
a soul stirred throughout the
nearly four hours that Reed and
Borah held the floor. The air in
the poorly ventilated senate cham-
ber became heavy but still the
crowd, listening closely and with
rapt attention, stayed on until the
final, word had been spogen.
Senator Goes Back
On Previous Threat
At .the ; outset. Reed . informed
the senate he was jesting on Sat
urday when he threatened to
make public the' names of men
who . "vote dry and drink wet."
He assured his colleagues with a
smile, that "I would not violate
the confidence of my friends or
the hospitality of my neighbors by
ever telling anything about them
when they were merely trying to
get a bit of sunshine out of life."
And then the Mlssourian, with
biting sarcasm tore into the pro
hibition law: accused the Anti-
Saloon league with substituting
the doctrine of force for that of
reason; declared that the "great
races" had been addicted to use
of stimulants: denounced corrup
tlon In government as an out
growth of the liquor law and fin
ally pleaded for state control.
Borah Also Brands
Violators of Law
Borah agreed with his col
leagues In denunciation of' those
he denied, though, that this law
and "live in violation of the law;
he denied, though, that this yaw
was "the crime of crimes i" he
insisted that the liquor interests
wers seeking to break down this
law as they have "every other
law aimed at controlling liquor,
and he belittled the argument for
state control, declaring It had
been tested and tailed.
The'-bill of Senator Jones, re
publican, Washington, to Increase
the penalties for violation of the
dry law was the vehicle that
served to bring the discussion be
fore the senate and although de
rbata was scheduled to be. limited

PISSED BY HOUSE
- With only four members voting
against.lt, house, bill 233, spon
sored by x Anderson, Catkin and
Hamilton, which Is known as the
Oregon - plan, of control J of new
bond issues and tax levies, was
passed by the house Monday. This
bill carries one ot the major rec
ommendatlons of the property tax
relief commission for taxation re
duction and lowering government
al costs. . .
Representative Car kin. m ex
plaining the bill, said lit was based
on the Indiana plan generally but
contained eertain other provisions
that would specially meet the situ
atlon In Oregon.
.The measure provides for a
board of review, consisting ot the
governor, secretary of state and
state treasurer to sit on appeal In
any tax levy or bond Issue by any
municipal corporation. In excess of
six per cent limitation. Where a
vote of the people is required, the
appeal Is to be heard before the
election. The board is to report
its findings, after a full study,
whether the bond Issue, or tax is
sue should be allowed or dlsal
lowed. The appeal would be made
upon petition of at least 100 per
sons affected.
House bill 237, providing that
the governor shall appoint county
budget committees and the county
court appoint municipal budget
committees, a companion measure
was re-referred to a committee. A
large number of Salem and Mar

objections to this provision.
TARIFF ON LEATHER
1
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 (AP)
Representatives of the Ameri
can shoe leather Industry with an
investment ot nearly $200,000,000
appealed to the house ways and
means committee today for a duty
of 20 per cent ad valorem on calf,
goat and kid leather, now on the
free list.
The requests, made during con
tinuation of the committee's hear,
lngs on the sundry schedule, . led
to a wide spread discussion as to
the effect the duty would have on
shoe prices and the advisability of
granting the cattlemen's petition
for a duty on hides, which also
are admitted free under the pres
ent law.
August Vogel, of Milwaukee, re
presenting the calf tanners' asso
ciation, declared the JO per cent
duty would place shoe leather on
a basis of protection equal to that
now enjoyed by fancy leathers or
those which the law defines' as
other than shoe leathers. No dif
ferentiation should have been
made between these products, the
witness said, as much of the fancy
leathers were going into the man
ufacture -of shoes.
