STORY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE I) bring It within the constitution, be cause In theory the quickest economic recoTery the country could make would be through increasing the pur chasing power of agriculture." McNary said he personally did not think further hearings on the senate side would be necessary, but this was a question for the committee to de termine. By a vote of 20.', to 151, the meas ure was passed by the house late yes terday the rumored friendliness of President-elect Itoosevelt being a big factor In mustering this strength. But despite the reported desire of Mr. Ro,osnvclt to see such legislation enacted, the ranking democrat on the senate agriculture committee Smith of South Carolina already haa indi cated bis opposition. Borah Doubtful Senator Borah of Idaho, without committing himself, also has ex pressed doiihtfl about It. Nevertheless, prompt committee consideration of the-houso hill which would pay a bounty to producers of seven commodities wheat, cotton, I tobacco, hogs, rice, dairy products) and pesnuts was assured. It wns ! after the last three commodities had' been added to the orltHunl bill Hint Irtn hoi me, democrats, flit republicans I and one fanner-lnhorite united agninst 101 republicans and BO democrats to secure Its pnssnge. One hnppful sign cited by senate advocntea was bint year's action by that body In passing a bill though It later was recalled emitnlnlng a form of the domestic allotment plan. "grave dangers of foreign hi top ion and war, the president contended in a lengthy messuge Hint Its terms would lead to the ceonomic downfall of the islands. The I'nited States, lie said, would be given the responsibility without authority for maintaining or der "in a degenerating social and eco nomic situation." The vetoed measure provided for the creation of an intermediate gov ernment after about two yrnrs. If ap proved by the Filipino people. A ten year period of economic and political wesning would follow, during which American authority would be cur tailed. Complete independence would be established in the eleventh year. Powerful Neighbors Eyed Foin ting to n "chaotic" situation in the orient, and to the "immense neigh bor populations" near the ifdnnds, the chief executive suggested that there be no immediate curtailment of American power and that the plebis cite on freedom "be taken Ifi or 20 years hence." "1 his legislation," the president said, "puts both our people and the Philippine people not on the road to berty and safety, which we desire. but on the path lending to new and enlarged dnngers to liberty and free dom itself." Some of the arguments given by Mr. Hoover for disapproving the bill follow: 1. The Philippines economically are "absolutely dependent upon their favored trade with the United StntcR," and the period during which this would he whittled down and finally shut off is "too short, too violent." Disorders Feared 2. Without favored entrance to American markets many Philippine industries could not compete with nearby lower costs and standards of living. lending eventunlly to n flight of capital, diminishing tax revenues and an unbalanced budget. H. American agriculture would be given "no protection of any kind" during the first two yenrs. and dur ing the following five would have "no effective protection." 4. The civil authority of the Tnlted Stntes In the islands would he brought to a point, of prncticnl impotence," but. with the American flag still fly ing would be "faced with the likeli hood of having to employ military ! men mires to maintain order." f. With the non-Chrintinn populn-1 tion opposed to the controlling group, yet constituting a mnjority of the to tal population, "the maintenance of order In this considerable element" I would be more difficult than at pres ent. 0. The Philippine government has not had sufficient Income to support "even the Filipino scouts, much less an army or navy," while the United , States now spends annually on n min imum necessary Amcrlcnn military' force a sum equal to approximately 2$ per cent of the entire island income. 7. In companion with neighboring oriental countries the Philippines of fer large areas of undeveloped re sources and th "pressures of those immense neighbor populations for peaceful infiltration or forceable en try into this area are most potent.' Neutrality Questioned The president pointed out that while the presetn bill would give the I'nited States an option on continuing its military and naval bases In the is lands after the ten-year period. It wuld give no promise of maintaining Independence agnmst outside pres rnres except an offer to attempt "neurrnlizntion.v "Other nations are unlikely to be come parties to neutralization If we continue such bases," he added, "and neutralization is a feeble assurance of independence In any event unless we guarantee It. That again Is the perpetual engagement of the United States in their affairs. "But with the Impression that these ideas in the bill convey it Is likely that the Philippine people would vote in two years on the belief that Inde pendence is thereby attained and with the more or less general belief that we will indefinitely engatre our power and our own future welfare In the altruistic mission of preserving their independence from international forces against which they are inca pable of defending themselves. "Therefore, before any plebiscite is held we should honestly and plainly declare our intentions. This bill does not do (hi. In discharge of the moral responsibilities or our country we have no right to force an irrevocable decision of their part to be taken two years hence at a moment in history when the outlook in the world and of their surroundings is at best unfa vorable to their permanent independ ence." The president advocated that steps he tnken Immediately, however, look ing to ultimate freedom. He urged Mint more powers be given island offi cials, that immigration should be re stricted nt once, and that there should be a gradual reduction of free imports to the United States. He suggested that there be fixed "a mutual preference In trade simtlar and on a wider scale than that with Cuba," and that the United States de clare definitely before any plebiscite whether all its military forces would bewithdrawn, or under what condi tions protection would be continued. i Mnrn minimi rum Vt En AiUnULWMi I V ana. m w m m mr mmr m m mmr mmmm m m m mm ap in Pai hrphi iMLHU IIULN UULItf I1LHII UfLII MIUM OVER MIM DILLS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE t) Douglas Fir Mills Report Increase In Cut During Week RUATTMO, Jan. 13. OP) An In crease of 3.8 per cent In operations of 2.7,! mills in the Douglas fir region of the Pacific northwest during the week ending January 7 was reported to the West Coast Lumbermen's asso ciation today, the mills operating at 17.S per cent of capacity as compared to 14 per cent the previous week. Of that group 172 mills produced fln.527,WW feet of lumber and shipped W,$in,02S feet. Current now business was 8.0 per cent over production and 20 per cent of that group's weekly capacity. Orders for th week totaled J.'U72,27I feet, Inventories, as reported by ISO mills, were 22.3 per cent lower than nt the same period last ycor. a $5 license fee for automobiles. Bills in the two houses declared for re ductions in county salaries and expen' sea of county officials. Consolidation of finances of state boards and com mis sions with the general fund and force these commissions to appear before the state legislature for appropna tions has been proposed. The debate witnessed in the bouse in the closing hours of the session yesterday was un sustaining Governor Julius L, Meier's veto of the repeal of the three-mill tax levy on real property passed by the special ses sion. The vote, after the governor's message of more than 1500 words was read, stood 44 to 13 to sustain the veto, thus replacing the levy for 1U33. Warrant Bill Vetoed Preceding the vote series of con ferences between legislative leaders. state officials and prominent . Port land bankers gave assurances that a veto was necessary to retain the credit of the state and that if the bill were vetoed, the legislature would sustain the action. The assurances were borne out by official action. The governor also vetoed the bill making it possible for the state to go on a warrant basis. It was officially stated in the legislature that this measure was recommended by State Treasurer Hufus C. Holman to the special session. Siroultaneaus with the veto of this bill, typewritten sheets were given out to some legislators bearing the program urged by the state treasurer. These suggestions criticised activities of the governor, the board of control, state purchasing agent, the auditing system and the budget department. Breach Is Widened The breach between the governor and Holman likewise was widened when Holman was not invited into the executivo conferences on state fi nances while a deputy from hia office had been called in. The first break between the two officials, however, dates hack several months earlier when the governor refused to remove William Kinzig as purchasing agent nt the demand of the treasurer. But during all this activity the ways and means committees have started to work on the big task of pruning the budget, and most members have set tied down to start active business st the beginning of the second week. And during this week will see some import ant legislation introduced. Among the latter will be the seven point progrnra of the public utilities commission for a greater curb on utilities and sweeping reforms in con trol. Charles M. Thomas, in announc ing the proposed bill which will Include his entire program, stated the act vyould he introduced in the senate next week, bearing t names of at least ten members of the legislature.
