day will be a boomerang which
' will mean a victory for Moser and

missioners would then be chosen
by the legislature as the law 13

la . the Multnomah delegation
would have been opposed by an
army which marched its troopers
up a hill and marched tnem down
again.
The rafters rang with senator
ial eloquence In the progress of
the debate yesterday la the sen
ate. The senate gallery was pack
ed with visitors. In the after
noon the house suspended its sit
ting and its members were Inter
ested auditors of the stirring ror
ensica. Charges and denials were
hurled back and forth, the atmos
phere growing tense when Sena
tor Eddy repeated charges that
toe proponents of the Rogue Riv
er bill had made a trade with the
house on the Port of Portland
proposition. This brought Sena
tor Miller of Josephine to his feet
with vigorous denial; and Sena
tor Dunn of Jackson county said
they had refused a suggested
trade on a road matter and that
he was as free to vote his will on
the port b'-ll as the birds to fly
the heavens.
In the morning session Senator
Moser tore into those who had.
made sinister allegations concern
ing his service as attorney to the
port. He read off every fee re
ceived by his firm and stated the
service rendered, and claimed- his
charges had been lower than
would have been proper due to his
deep interest in the work ot the
port, averaging J1T00 per annum.
The governor's letter on the com
mission Moser asserted waaj fill
ed with misstatements and errors,
and not In accord with the facts.
Criticizes Moser
For Inal Office
Crawford of Multnomah ; who
headed the group of five from
that county favoring the amend
ment of the Angeil house : bill,
pointed to the wide powers: pos
sessed by the board and, criticised
Moser for sitting as a senator and
serving the port as attorney at
the same time, demanding that he
resign from one position or the
other.
In the afternoon debate Burke
of Yamhill urged to rally behind
the governor who asked the! pow
er; Woodward of Multnomah
pleaded for the amendment in or
der to end the controversy; Joe
Dunne of Multnomah while sup
porting the majority report, de
fended the integrity and ability of
bis colleague Gus Moser. Dunne
admitted that there was one per
son designated to be appointed
commissioner whom h wouldn't
want to serve with, and Upton,
who followed, named that oine as
Itufus Holman.
Upton was the heavy hitter for
the Moser position. He unleashed
his heavy artillery;
"I do not see any reason for a
change and none has been given.
The interference of the legislature
with the port, against the advice
of the commission and its engin
eers cost the port 250,00 in
dredging the Oregon slough In
North Portland money absolute
ly wasted. This question impure
ly political. No complaint! has
been made to the legislature
about the work of the commis
sion. Everybody knows the real
reason, which is.politlcal. A few
Portland politicians with budding
ambitions have , undertaken to
boost their political fortunes and
pat a crown of victory on; their
brows. You are camouflaging
and making noises for the mob.
The junior senator from Multno
mah (Crawford) did a dastardly
thing wTaen he said Moser should
resign the senatorship or attor
neyship. Other members of this
body and the house ' serve as at
torneys for cities, and some mem
bers are also members of school
boards or other municipal
bodies."
Deplore Endles
Wrangle Over Port
Senator Strayer of Baker vet
eran of many sessions, said he had
heard the fight over the Port of
Portland so long that it had only
one rival, that over the Rogue
river. He knew the verses and
rtioru8 of the Rogue, rivet song
but sometimes got them mixed
with the port melodies. He fav
ored letting- the people rule in
good old democratic fashion.
Senator Moser in closing the ar
gument pointed out that the Mult
nomah delegation of the, two
houses stood eleven on his side
to eight or nine on the other. He
said the house would not recede
from its position and a deadlock
would result. "You are going up
, against a stone wall, if the gov
ernor had known the 'facts he
would not have gotten into this
mess. -
.Moser defended the achieve
ments of the' port, reviewing itsJ
worg in areaging the channel, ac
quiring Swan island, filling in
lands now valuable for Industrial
sites, and handling ' its finances
with care.

ANCHORS 1Y TEH
OF
TACOMA. Feb. 5 fAP) Out
of dim, forgotten ages of antiquity
has come a Tscovery in Alaska
which may throw light on the or
igin of the North American Indian,
a question that has long puzxled
anthropologists. Ifews of the dis
covery was first given to Russell
Annabel, noted Alaskan guide
now in Taeoma, by Dr. Smith of
the Alaska bureau of education.
Dr. Smith wrote that miners
operating the Wells brothers pla
cer mine on Henry Creek, . 90
miles inland from Nome, had un
earthed a pair of stone anchors,
weighing about 200 pounds each,
carved with ideographs "resembl
ing those of the Chinese language.
Their apparent great age and
presence so far from any now na
vigable waters led to conjecture
that they were lost in the mud
of the old river by a people un
known to history, possibly by
Mongoloid seafarers who crossed
the Bering sea from Asia and
founded the first colonies on the
North American continent.
Annabel sent this information
to the museum of the University
of Pennsylvania, and today receiv
ed word from museum officials
that they intend to send an expe
dition into the Nome country to
Investigate the find, as soon as
climatic conditions will permit.

TOKYO, Feb. 5. UP)-A bill
introduced In the Japanese diet
today by the Hamaguchl govern
ment Indicated it was prepared to
give the women of Japan a small
taste of political power, in the
shape of the right to vote in mu
nicipal elections.
The sample, was accompanied
by the Implicit promise that, if It
were taken with no ill effects,
within a few years the full feast
of politics, equal rights with men
to vote and hold office, should be
spread before the 15,500,000 fe
male subjects ot the mikado.
The bill sponsored by the cab
inet would permit women to Tote
in elections for village, town and
city assemblies and to hold seats
in those local legislatures.
Backed by the overwhelming
majority held by the government
party, the minseito, in the house
of representatives, the bill should
pass the lower house without dif
ficulty. There may be opposition
In the more conservative house of
peers, but the chances are the
measure will become law.

Pass. Resolution; Following
Talk by Senator Bailey
At Weekly Session i
I don't think much relief will
be granted to the taxpayer by the
legislature," senator J. O. Bailey
of Portland, declared in talking be
fore the Lions' . club yesterday
noon on the tax situation and o
the free textbook bilL f
; The senator devoted most of his
speech to the textbook' proposi
tion, of which he is a strong advo
cate. He declared 43 or 44 of
the states in the union have free
textbooks in one form or another.
and that Oregon was behind pro
gress on this matter. Free text
books will cost lesa in the long
run, are more sanitary when the
school keepa them in shape i and
when the district owns the books,
life of them is longer. Bailey said:
The Lions club adopted a reso
lution, presented before Bailey's
speech, favoring the free textbook
bill, with recommendation that
provision be made to supply the
funds from some other than the
regular school budget. Copies of
the resolution will ; be forwarded
to the Marion county delegations
in the legislature. . . . I
Bailey decried- the retroactive
act on the Intangibles tax bill and
said Portland people hold that the
money paid into the fund should
be paid back. "The six per cent
limitation Is one of the biggest
handicaps and greatest curses to
the state," the senator declared.
adding that the limitation has not
curbed, but rather circumscribed
through Its devices and that el
ties have kept pyramiding debt
because of it.

the unified field theory" from a
book copyrighted and published
by Edwards November 19. 1929
entitled "The Why and Where
fore of Things." I
The complaint asked for a per
manent injunction prohibiting
the little German professor from
further use, either in lectures or
writing of the theory, for dam
ages set by the court, for costs
of the action and requested that
Dr. Einstein, who is visiting in

DICTATORSHIP FOR
t GERMANY DERIDED
BERLIN, . Feb. 5. (AP)
Talk of a dictatorship In Ger
many is ridiculous. Chancellor
Bruening told the Reichstag to
day in his first speech since re
sumption of the parliament after
the Christmas recess.
It Is Imperative, however, he
said, that the members recognise
their responsibility for adopting
the "spartan" budget for 1931
by the end of March at least,
giving the world assurance that
Germany is worthy of credit, and
paving the way for an eventual
solution of the reparations prob
lem. -
I "The government Is unalter
ably opposed to a dictatorship
and has no intention of invoking
article 48 of the constitution for
putting the budget into effect,"
he said, referring to the "dictat
or clause" which provides for
dissolution of parliament' and
government by decree. .

.WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. (AP)
- A 50 per cent reduction In max

world war veterans during hospi

by Veterans Administrator Hines.
Early congressional action was
forecast on his proposal for $10,

Testifying before the senate fi

realized any cut in disability com
pensation would be "unpopular"
but believed it necessary to re
move an "incentive". among tem-
fiorarily disabled men to remain

they are cured.
Several members of the com
