Speakership of Next Legis

By Support of Jackson

Contest Keen.

The decision ot (our representa

K. B. Day of tills county and E.
C. UronaiiKh and A. A. Byron of
Multnomah county, to support
Frank J. l.onergan for sneaker of
the next house of representatives,
definitely decides the speakership
in favor of Mr. 1-onernan.
There has been a spirited con
test ever since the pilma-y for
this coveted prize, the candidates
being l- .1. Lonergun and Herbert
Cordon of Portland; .lumen Mott
of Salem; and Kmniett Howard t
Hugene. Howard recently with
drew in favor of Gordon and Molt
in favor or Lonergan anil several
Mends of the two rema!"''!? can
didates have been traveling all
over the state the past ten days
endeavoring i to secure pledges
from the representatives.
Contest Close
The contest was so close that
on the decision of the .Inckson and
Multnomah representatives rested
the selection of the speakership.
With those who had already sign
ed to vote for Mr. Lonergan to
gether with the Jackson and Mult
nomah, four votes, and others who
have verbally agreed to supnort
him. It now looks like I.onergan
has 35 to 37 votes, with 31 out of
the house membership of CO neces
sary to select. It is certain he
has more than the required num
ber. It was claimed at the close of
the last session Mr. !nergan had
40 pledges of representatives at
that session to support him for
speaker, provided they were can
didates and were re-elected. Twen
ty of that number will no doubt
return, having been nominated and
the remaining 15 or 17 pledges
come from new members.

UPON PLEA
House Provision of $40 Per
Month Agreed Upon By
Conferees After Written
Request By President
Criticism Voiced.
WASHINGTON, July 3. P
Responding to a written plea from
President Hoover, senate and holism
conferees on World w.ir veterans'
measure today reached an agree
ment on the lower pension rates
provided by the house bill.
, The house provided a maximum
of $40 for veterans with perma
nent disabilities as opposed to $t0
voted by the senate.
The conference agreement re
tained the house language which
Withheld disability pensions from
those who are able to pay Income
taxes.
The senate amendment allowing
compensation to veteran.s who suf
fered disability from venereal dis
ease contracted In service also was
eliminated..
In his letter to Senator Watson,
the Republican leader. President
Hoover condemned the additions
made to the veterans' bill iy the
senate. He sold the senate bill
increased the cost of ' the house
legislation by about 2 SO per cent.
Criticisms Voiced.
The Hoover letter follows:
"You request my views on the
effects of the senate amendments
to the house veterans' hill.
"I must say at once that these
amendments again re-establish in
justices and discriminations he
tween veterans, impose unwarrant
ed burdens on the taxpayer and
perpetuate entirely wrong ' prln
clples In such legislation.
"There are many points of crltl
clsm In this direction.
"For Instance, under these
amendments tho average allow
nco. ywransxwhusA:tyNUtliii
were incurred in civil lite, subse
quent to the war will -work out
very close to the same average
payment as that given to veterans
who actually suffered from battle
and In the trenches.
"This is an injustice both to the
men who suffered from the war
and to the public."
"The senate amendments seri
ously offeet the nien who were en
rolled after the armistice and who
never heard a shot fired; they seri
ously modify the clauses In respect
to venereul diseases and Impose a
burden upon the treasury therefor,
which must he condemned from the
point of view of family life."
