But the fish bill received only 16 votes, a bare constitutional ma jority, whereas 20 votes are neces sary to override the veto of the governor that is sure to come. It now remains for the friends of the fish group to convince by some means or another four of the opposition senators to vote with them when the bill conies back from the executive offices with Governor Pierce's meage of dis approval. hcthor the means they wilt take to secure the neces sary four votes will take the forr.i of pressure and compulsion re mains to be seen, but the fact Is evident that the friends ot the bill can make matters decidedly un pleasant and unprofitable for the opposition senators, their pet meas urea and their constituents dur ing the remainder of the kcaslon l they so elect. It is logical to ox pect that the screws will begtn to tighten down now. Debate Is Brief If the fifh bill is to be saved Us friends must work fast, how ever, or they will not be given the opportunity to override the veto. It must be put through the houpc not later than Monday, tor should the governor choose to hold It the five days allotted to him by law the veto will come In too late to bo acted upon at this session. The vote on the fish hit' same almost without debate, only three members taking the floor to dis cuss It. Expisining the bill and its purposes Senator Ritner de clared himself to be a persona! friend of Governor Pierce who ad mitted many admirable qualities in the executive but, he said, "he lacks the quality we over In east ern Oregon roughtly term horse sense. I do not pretend to say that all of his appointments have been faulty he has made some admir able appointments- but some of them have been rotten." Senator Rltncr cited the Instance of the Port of Portland commission, the efficiency of which he declared the governor had sought to destroy Pierce Held L'nfit 'I would safeguard the fish commission from just this fate," ltitner asserted, "and not turn it over to the caprice of a temper mental governor." Reiterating his previous de-' nunciations of the fish lobby as the most debauching influence in Oregon politics, Senator Joseph charged the sponsors of the fish bill with doing nothing but play ing politics, and said that the pro vision of the bill diverting 10 per cent oi tne poundage lax on fish Into the general fund was but a sop noid out when it became ap parent that tho bill would be de- rcatea. in 1315 tnese same senators wno seen to take the commission out of the hands of the governor ana piace it in the board of con- Sc;iatcr titap.es spoke in fuvui of the bill, asserting that as long as tho commission has been In the hands of the governor the second hatchery district baa never been represented upon it. The vote on the bill was: For the bill Banks, Butler, Carsner, Clark, Corbclt, Davis. Dennis, Dunn, Hill, Klepper, Mag Indry, Miller, Ritner, Staples, Up ton and Moser. Against tho bill Beals, Brown, Eddy, l-'isk, Garland, Hare, John son, Joseph, Kinney, La Follett, Strayer, Tooze and Z.mmerman. Ittt-fmshlcrntion Likely The vote on the Dennis resolu tion was 16 to 14 agaltwt the pro posal, with Senator Dennis chang ing his vote when it was apparent that the result stood 15 to 15, so that ho will be In position to move a reconsideration. During the course of the lengthy debate oti this measure Senator Eddy assert ed that he might vote for the resolution if It could be amended to all the opponents space in the voters pamphlet for their argu .ments, and provided the inherit ance tax repeal feature be made not effective for at least three years after enactment of the amend ment by the people. It is anticipated that these amendments wilt be sought and a reconsideration of the resolution requested. The vote on tho resolution was: For Banks, Carsner, Clark, Cor bett, Davis. Hall, Hare, Joseph, Klepper. Miller, Ritner, Staples. Upton and Moser. Against Beals, Brown, Butler, Dennis, Dunn, Eddy. Flsk. Garland, Johnson, Kinney, La, Follett, Mag lad ry, Strayer, Taylor, Tooze, Zim merman. Debate on tho resolution was perhaps the most general and heat ed t'.iat has featured the present session. Bltf Benefits Claimed Tho proposed amendment. Den nls said, in opening the argument on the bill, would be a direct Invi tation to capital and industry to locate in Oregon. "It takes wealth," he said, "to develop Oregon ss it ought to'be developed and the intent of this resolution is to induce men of money to come here.' Dennis cited the experience of Florida since Inhibiting incon.u and inheritance taxes. He read several telegrams from other states and from corporations. One of these promised that within 60 days of the enactment of the proposed amendment it would locate in Ore gon from $50,000,000 to $60,000, 000 in taxable wealth in Oregon. Would Bring Capital "The state," said Dennis, "is like a big business with a big over head and not enough customers and it is the purpose of this meas ure to reduce taxes by bringing more people here to distribute them among and do away with that question, 'What's the matter with Oregon? Senator Zimmerman termed the resolution "the most brazen thing I have even seen attempted any where." He called it an attempt at rule by minority. "It assumes," he said, "that those who come to irai were nere trying to take It out of the hands of the board ami place it with the governor." Joseph the legislature In the next 15 years said. the Ijwi that the people vunt. ' I Zimmerman declared that wealth has fx. tendency to become so pent that is cannot be controlled and that to Invite it to Oregon was to Invite It here "to take our homes afvay from us." i GiirlunU Given Time 'Tn-? senators were limited to Hires minutes each iu these spec.-hes under a senate rule ef fective today. When Garland arofe to oppose the bill Brown, La Fol lett, Taylor and Fisk gave him their lime. whL-h allowed him lb minutes. Gail:ind branded the resolution us "the most cowardly measure ever attempted to be past ed before the people." "If It were not for the propa ganda that it wielded throughout this slate." said Garland, "I would not foar for a moment tho verdict of th people. Hut with the pro paganda that will be used the peoi-le will be dazzled into submis sion. ' I'lco for Tux Dodgers Garland termed Dennis I lit of corporations promising to come to Ores n if the amendment is enact ed a "vile deception." He charged the proponents of the resolution with "pleading for the 24.000 tax dodgers In Oregon." "I am piead he Baid, "for the small farm ers and merchants who are at the mercy of their bankers. Referring to certain lumber In terests, who, Dennis said, would come to Oregon If the amendment were enacted. Garland deeiarcd that "they've got to come here, for this is where the lumber is. What you would allow them to do is to come here and avoid payirj their just share of taxes." Strayer Lnslics Dennis Laxhing Senator Dennis for in troduclng the resolution. Senator St raver said, "I don't blame th people of Union county if they charge the man whom they have honored in this senate with hav ing turned traitor upon them." "I don't know why we should say to the millionaire and the tax- dodger," said Strayer. "that they may come here and not pay any taxes. This will not build up ag riculture which is fundamentally the basis of our society. Turning to Senator Dennis, Strayer thundered: "I want to say again that I do not blame the people ot your coun ty if they rise in their wrath and condemn you for what you have done. You have Invited here crooks, thieves, millionaires Inter mingled without reason and with out rhythem Senator Eddy declared he was still of an open mind on the reso lution but indicated he might vote for it If amended so not to be ef- fective for three years. Moser Takes Floor Moser, left the chair to support the resolution. "You are trying to array class against class," said Moser to the opponents of the resolution. "Go luto New England and you will see what can be made of Oregon if this amendment Is enacted." Senator Butler opposed the reso lution. "The men with whom I as sociate dally are for it," said But ler, "and have asked me to sup of people in my constituency who have said nothing to me, and I be lieve the reason Is that they be- ' lleve I am for fair play and will not vote to shut the door against them expressing themselves in the years to come. 1 would be a traitor to my countrymen and to my own sense of justice and fair play if I were to say to my constituency hat we have found another class whose Interests are greater than heirs." Duller For Square Deal I i'ame to this state In the dawn ing years of my young manhood nnd 1 have been here a good many years. I expect to spend the re mainder of my life here and then sleep beneath the soil of this state and mould back to earth with the dust of the pioneers, and let It never bo said of me that I toted to close the door of hope and op portunity to the people whom I represent." Den nix n Hosing declared that every foittu.d step In Oregon in the last W years had had "just such men as Garland, Strayer and Zimmerman to combat." He brand ed as fallacious Zimmerman's ar gument from the point of view of the farmers. "I live among farmers," said Dennis, "and I know the condi tions. But to relieve them of the tux burden we need more wealth here to be taxed.' n Tjpenllers AIX MAKES II Down II Monthly U M. Ioclmood H7 N. Com.
