PORTLAND, ' Dec. 24. Clara

checked out, leaving no address, on

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

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...
