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

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.

of the Pacific northwest during the

to the West Coast Lumbermen's asso

to 14 per cent the previous week.
Of that group 172 mills produced

was 8.0 per cent over production and
20 per cent of that group's weekly

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.
