GASOLINE TAX BILL FAHS IN STATE SENATE AMENDMENT LOST BY SINGLE VOTE ROAD MEASURES PASS Deadlock of Yesterday Result Jm Adjourned Hesslon Today 15 To II Ih Final Result Adjourn ment Sine Din Kxpectod Today. SALEM, Dec. 24. The senate jnat before 1 o'clock today failed to pmts the financial amendment to consti tution, authorizing a state gasoline tax for financing the Portland world's fair. The final vote IS to 14, the same division which had marked the senate fight since last night. Exceptions were taken to an ap peal from the usual announcement of failure, but failed by the same vote. Itltnor Overruled The vote favoring passage 15 to 14, is one vote short of the majority necessary to pass or defeat the con stitutional amendment. Due to tbe death of Senator Hume, the senate membership is now only 29. Fol lowing the defeat of the resolution. President Rimer ruled tbe bill had failed because of lack of a consti tutional majority. This ruling waa overthrown, and the resolution sent to the house as amended. The Fletcher bill, companion measure to the financing amend ment, also passed and was sent to the house. The house may take the same view as President Ritnar, that the bill tailed of a constitu tional majority Ih the senate, de claring it therefore not before the lower chamber, thus killing the bill, or it may pass its own bill as amended by the senate. Courts May Decide Certain senators said whether or not the amendment was passed in ' the senate might be for the courts i to decide. The house for the time being con trols the fate of the Portland fair. Senator Moser, immediately after the vote on the fair, 15 to 14, was announced, appealed from the usual announcement that the bill had failed, holding that 15 votes, due to the vacancy, was a majority and that the bill had passed. By over throwing President Ritner's ruling, the senate also held this view. Moser's exception and appeal may result in the house passing the bill t as amended, even though Ritner had based his ruling on an opinion by the attorney general. The Oregon state senate was still (Continued on Page 5.) (Baker Herald.) Recent actions on the part of the Portland Chamber of Commerce can be construed in no other light than insults to the Intelligence of the peo ple of Eastern Oregon. If you think that is a strong statement, consider these facts: 1. Portland is asking Eastern Ore gon to tax itself approximately $1, 000,000 for the purpose of holding a Portland fair in 1925. 2. Portland, while claiming this is an Oregon fair and that Eastern Oregon will derive a great benefit, at the same time is exerting its utmost Influence to destroy both local and tourist trade in this part of the state. 3. Portland, its chamber of com merce, its newspapers, its people are spending more time, effort and money in promoting the unnecessary Wallula cut-off roud than has been exerted all told, for all legitimate Eastern Oregon highways. The Wal lula cut-off would save a few miles of travel from southern Washington points to Portland, but there is to day a paved road from Walla Walla to Pendleton where it joins the Old Oregon Trail, which is good enough for anybody. They would sacrifice the completion of the John Day high way, the Central Oregon Highway, The Dalles-California highway, the La Grande-Joseph highway, the Baker-Unity highway, the Old Oregon Trail and many others of vital Im portance to Eastern Oregon and the state as a whole, merely to "steal" a few dollars a year from the terri tory of the hated rival, Seattle...
