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

members taking the floor to dis

mitted many admirable qualities in
the executive but, he said, "he
lacks the quality we over In east

all of his appointments have been

'I would safeguard the fish
commission from just this fate,"
ltitner asserted, "and not turn it
over to the caprice of a temper

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

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

It is anticipated that these

reconsideration of the resolution
requested.

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

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.'
