PAGE TEN The OREGON STATESMAN. Sakxa. Oregon, Tuesday Morning, August 20, 1929 SUITE MEETS THEN AOJOIliS Session Lasts Three Minutes Setting New Short Time Record WASHINGTON. Aug. 19. (AP) By a jrentleratn's agree ment the senate convened and ad 4inmut -.rta- in !;. than three minutes and thereby established a new record for breTity so far as re cent history is concerned. Some day3 ago leaders of both parties agreed that inasmuch as the finance committee would re quire more time to complete work on the house tariff bill, the con vening of the senate would be only a formality and that no business would, be transacted until after September 4. This program was carried out punctiliously much to the disappointment of the crowds in the gallery. Some of the tourist visitors, despite the adTance "no tice of a short session, had arrived at the capitol hours earlier to ob tain front seats. At noon Vice-President Curtis rapped his gavel. Scattered about the chamber trere only 30 of the membership of nearly a hundred. Prayer was offered, the journal of the last meeting two months ago was read, and Senator Watson of Indiana, the republican leader, moved a recess until Thursday. No business whatever was trans acted. President Hoover was ready to forward some nominations, includ ing those of federal farm board members. The board has been or ganised during the recess. The nominations, however, were not transmitted. Watson' motion for a three day recess was necessary as under the constitution one house cannot re main in adjournment for a longer period without approval of the other. At the initiation of the sum mer recess it was expected the tar iff bill would be ready by today and the house approved a senate recess for the length of time. In turn, the house arranged to re main in recess until September 23, and this was concurred in by the senate. Of those attending the senate session today, 19 were members of the committee which has been working all summer on the house tariff measure. Their interest is centered on that legislation al most completely. Few of the chairmen of other committees are on hand and it appears highly improbable that any committee hearings, investi gations or meetings of any kind will be-held before the middle of September. Senator Watson returned to the senate fresh from a week end vis It with President Hoover at his Virginia fishing retreat and said his visit had been recreational for the most part. The republican leader is confi dent that the tariff bill as framed by the republicans of the finance committee meets presidential ap proval, but he said little atten tion was given to this topic over the week end. He said he did not ven have a copy of the revised rates to show to Mr. Hoover. Senator Sackett of Kentucky, another republican member of the finance committee, was also a guest of Mf. Hoover. The visitors reported that the president seem ed to be greatly occupied with the program of farm relief and very optimistic over the prospects of assisting agriculture along the lines contemplated by the newly organized farm board. du in HI Continued from Page 1.) Ail bids oo tile for additional drainage were rejected upon the airport committee's recommenda ttom. It was reported that by de ferring this construction and any fartaer leveling, about $(,000 woald be left in the airport fond. Carl D.

He thanked the council for its cooper ation In connection with the le gion convention, especially for ex tra work In putting the airport in shape for the dedication exercis es.

IS ELECTED I The election of a governor to preside over the Pacific Northwest district of the Kiwanis Interna tional for the coming year will be the center ef action for this aft ernoon's meeting of the Kiwanis now in convention in Salem. The candidate seeming to be the most in favor this morning is Charles H. Walker, president of the North west School of Commerce In Port land. Just what the results of the election will be is doubtful, how ever, due to the fact that the nom inations are made by representa tives from each of the nine districts of the region, said representatives .forming a nominating committee. Several nominations may be pre sented by this committee this aft ernoon and the results of balloting develope a governor not yet heard of who will govern the 1930 con vention to be held in Victoria. Walker has several strong points in his favor. He is an ex cellent speaker and his popularity carried him to the ballot last year in Aberdeen. He withdrew in fa vor of the present governor, T. Harry Gowan.

The matter was disposed of without argument up on a motion by Alderman Purvine that the planning and zoning commission's recommendation fa voring the change be not approved. However. Mr. Purvine followed with a motion instructing the commission to bring in a new pro posal, providing for a change of zone In a smaller area between Wilbur street and Rural avenue, with the added suggestion that the change be to rone three, busi ness district.

(AP) Accompanied by fiery crit icism on the parts of democrats, as well as some republican inde pendents, and ministry threats of another attempt to keep the revi sion limited to agriculture, the house tariff bill rates as revised by the senate finance committee republicans, tonight was made public. Carrying approximate ly 590 rate increases and re ductions, from those adopted by the house, the committee docu ment, two months in the making, simultaneously was submitted to the finance committee democrats. They were excluded a month ago when the majority committeemen retired behind closed doors to re write the bill. Under an agreement between party leaders, the measure will not be taken up in the senate un til September 4. as additional time will be required by the committee to make changes in the equally important administration previ sions of the measure. The repub lican committeemen began this work today, Immediately after the senate recessed until Thursday. The more important rate chan ges proposed by the 11 republican members Included a reduction in the house sugar duties, but still an increase over present rates; in creased to 11.50 in the $1.1 2 Vi a ton rate on pig iron; restoration of the present 31 cent duty on raw wool which the house raised three cents a pound; increases in wool waste duties; restoration to the free list of shingles and cedar lumber, which the house levied at 25 per cent, and the placing of logs of fir, spruce, hemlock, and cedar, not dutiable at $1 per thou sand board feet, on the free list. The greatest number of reduc tions approved were in the chem ical schedule, most of the C7 chan ges recommended in this section being decreases in house duties. One of the most increases propos ed was 3 Vi cents a pound on case in which the house left tt 24 cents. Shortly after the bill became public property. Senator Thomas, democrat, Oklahoma, announced he would offer a resolution when it was taken up in the senate, to eliminate all scheduls in the bill not relating to agriculture but per mitting the proposal of specific amendments to the non-agricultural sections from the floor. "If the resolution should be agreed to." Senator Thomas said, "it will be in order to offer amendments relating to the sev eral schedules eliminated from the bill, but if offered, the burden will be upon the proposer to make a case or else such amendment would fail." Senator Borah, republican, Ida ho, said the more he read the committees rates the more he was displeased, and added he would either support the Thomas resolu tion or reintroduce a similar one he offered before the recess which lost by a margin of one vote. -Senator King, of Utah, a demo cratic member of the finance com mittee, declared the tentative com mittee bill was "as unsatisfactory as the house bill," while Jouett Shouse. head of the democratic national committee's executive committee, asserted: "Such concessions as are made will turn out to be those that are of the least consequence." The analysis of the schedules as they became known," Shouse add ed, "made it plain that the motiv ating principle behind the propos ed enactment was not protection to American industry still less protection for American labor but a simple determination to en able special groups of Industrial ist to cash In on their last year's campaign contributions." By schedules, they showed 7 changes in the house rates on chemicals, oils and paints; St al ternations In the earths, earthern ware, and glassware schedule; 64 in metals; 8 and manufacturers of 9 in sugar; 4 in tobacco; 70 in agriculture; one in spirits; 20 in cotton manufactures; 7 in flax, hemp and Jute; 33 in wool; one in silk; S In rayon; 10 in papers and books, and 34 in sundries. Of the important articles which the bouse took from the free list YOU WIN! car washing day or and made dutiable, the finance group retained hides, leather, and shoes, increasing some of the pro posed leather rates. They also re tained the house rates on brick and cement now tree. Eight art icles in the chemicals, oils and paints schedule which the house left dutiable were recommended for the free lists, as well as one. wood tar and pitch of wood, which the house took off the free list. Manganese ore and concentra tee, which the house left dutiable at once cent a pound on ore con taining over 30 per cent metalice manganese, would go to the free list under the committee metals schedule. Reductions In Tungstein ore and manganese metals rates were recommended, while the house increases on surgical and dental instruments would be elim-1 inated. Maple and birch lumber would go back to the free list, but the house 15 per cent duty on maple and birch flooring, now free, would be retained. The house in crease on, Bentwood furniture would be eliminated. While recommending a reduc tion to 2.20 cents a pound in the Cuban raw sugar rate, as against 2.40 cents in the house bill and 1.7 i cents as at present the com mitteemen proposed Increases In duties on maple sugar and syrup and a cut in the house duty on su gar cane. The committeemen proposed restoration of the present duties on leaf tobacco, which the house Increased 40 cents a pound, but provided higher duties on leaf consisting of filler, mixed or packed with over 5 per cent but not more than 36 per cent wraper. Of the 70 changes proposed In the agricultural duties, nearly all were Increases and affected such articles as milk and cream, cheese, poultry, oats, dried cher ries, lemons, onions, preserved to matoes, hay, straw and broom corn.
