Washington. Jan. 20. The indus trial arts committee of the house to day, by a vote of 6 to 0, favored New Orleans as the site for the Panama exposition. This anion of the com mittee, had been forecasted. It is expected that a fight on the floor is certain when the final report of the rules committee, to which Kahn's resolution favoring San Franclsno, is made next week. Independently of the rules com mittee's action, it is believed that the dispute 111 not be settled without a genal battle in the house. The mi nority of the Industrial arts commit tee plans to present a report that alone will bring the rival claims of San Francisco and New Orleans out for final adjustment on the floor of congress, and the "boosters" for the Pacific coast city say that, in that exeat there is no doubt their side will win. For some time it has been appar ent that the arts committee would favor the Crescent City. The major ity of its members aTe Southerners, and Its chairman, Congressman Rob inderger, of Illinois, has been out spoken for the claims of the Louisi ana city. San Francisco, Jan. 20. In spite of the action of the house arts and exposition committee, in declaring in favor of New Orleans as the Panama-Pacific site, officials of the expo sition company are not worried to day. A feeling of optimism prevaJls at exposition headquarters, and the belief prevails that the fight for San Francisco will be waged on the floor of the house. , "We have no doubt of the ultimate success of San Francisco,' declared J. Rolph, Jr , actng president. . "The action of the committee was a. foregone conclusion, but when a vote Is taken today by the housei we are confident that the New Orleans bUL.wiil.be defeated. J4. meeting of the exposition directors will be sched uled late today to discuss the situa tion. ' ' Can't Come; Will Write. Portland, Or., Jan. 20. Fanners, mall carriers, commer cial associations and other or ganization throughout the state will deluge the Oregon leg islature with letters urging the adoption of the Oregon Good Roads Associations' five high way bills, according to President John Mask, of the association, today. President Hask said that all branch organization of the as sociation had been notified, and the letters would begin to pour into Salem within two days. The bills provide for a sys tem of state highways through out the state. Is This Itaee Prejudice? Honolulu, Jan. 20. Strongly supported by the local Japanese press, Japanesu'eniployed here on sugar plantations, where Another Washington dispatch says "Representative Kahn said, after the committee) vote waa taken, that the fight was only started. "This is only the beginning of the fight," he said. "We'll take It to the floor of the house, and are sure that we will have a majority there. The action of the committee is by no means an index to the opinion of the house as a whole." The members of the committee who today voted in favor of San rancisco were: Gardner, Massachu setts; Nelson, Misslppi; Southwtck. New York; Steenerson, Minnesota; Poindexter, Washington, and lay nard, Virginia. The-New Orleans supporters, were Kodenburg, Illinois, (chairman); (Continued on page eight.

Their Right Above Those of the People He IMdn't Say So Openly, Ilut It Shows Main ly Between the Lines, Just the ' Same, New York, Jan. 20 - Paul Morton late president of: the Equitable Life Assurance Society, gave hla last in t" view to the luiftd PresB shoii'y before nis death. It was in answer to statements by Governor Hiram Johnson, of California., in which the railroads were, arraigned for their al leged hostile attitude to the inter ests of the people, the governor as serting that individual rignts must be considered greater than property rights. (Copyright, 1911, by the United Prflss.) (By the Late Paul Morton.) I would be-sorry to think that ihsre is not sonij fiir ) iatform up on which individual rights and prop thy rights might Mime; equallv. I don't question that every patriotic citizen considers the rights of men paramount to the rights of property, but that certainly does not justify the public In Ignoring the rights of the latter. My observation has been that whure any railroad, any corporation or any individual secures a fran chise or anything else in the way of special privilege, which is unfair to the public, or has in any way sun ceeded in having the law constructed unreasonably favoring the said prop erty or Individual that sooner or lat er these special privileges are taken away, and that, in taking them away, the public generally sees to it that the corporation or individual enjoy ing them pays good" Interest for tnelr use. I have always believed that rail roads shold not engage, in politics. I think it most important that they should keep out of politics. But I think It just as fair that the politi cians should leave the railroads alone When I say the politicians should leave the railroads alone, I mean that the politicians sjiould not add them, and then use them as a moans to se cure office. It is not difficult for the railroads to refrain from mixing In politics if the polltinians attack them. I think the railroads should bi regulated, but I believe they are entitled to the same treatment that individuals are. I believe the railroads mean to ac cord everybody fair treatment in re turn. The railroads are owned Iargelyby the frugal people of the country, peo ple who are economical, who Invest their savings, indirectly or through savings banks or through street com panies or by purchasing life insur ance. The life insurance companies of the country are reported to own nea'rly one-eighth of ail the bonds is sued by American- railroads and these, by itself, scatters the owner ship of the railroads to an extent little understood by the people generally. Corporations are just as essential to the welfare of the country as freight cars. They are merely agen cies through which the commerce of the country Is being transacted and, as I've said before, I consider our great industrial combinations as the battleships of commerce with which we capture the world's business. The foreign markets are most es sential to American shippers and in order to reach them there must be the utmost co-operation by capital, by labor, and by the government It self which should do everything it reasonably can to promote harmon ious relations. I think that corporate practice has been much improved in the last five years. Thing that were once thought right now are not tolerated. 1 be lieve out. of. all the. agitation we have had for those five, years much good has rijken.,..But,J.lBo believe that Jf we bad ,Jess agitation and less legis lation for awhile we would be better off. . I have always- believed that intel ligent combination and centralization Is preferable , to unrestricted - corapei tion.; 1 think it better for both the labor and the capital of the nation. But all combinations, whether , of cap ital or labor, should be reasonable v, and, should have the end of efficient service always in view1. WRANBLE LASTED All HOUR JOINT COMMITTEE FAVORS THE ASTORIA CEflTEtitllAL Much Routine Business Was Done in the House, and the Sen ate Also Put in a Busy Morning Bill Concerning the Re--. cording of Deeds One of the Most Important Yet Considered--Drastic Measure in Senate Against Selling Liquor to Intoxicated Persons. ALL ARE IH FAVOR OF ASTORIA ALL THK XKW'srAI'KItS AMI PHACriOALIiV KYKHY OJUMM ZATION IX THK STATU WAXT ASTOKI.WS C'KLKItltATlOY TO iik hi:li The house wrangled an hour this morning over the effort of Eaton to discredit the committee on resolu tions in the matter employing house clerks. Pie is said to be holding up the appolhtment of the clerks of the committee on enrolled bills, to force the house to adopt a better system and to secure experts only for that work. , :, The Resolutions Fight Resolution by Eaton from commit tee on enrolled bills that work done by that committee heretofore be done by secretary of state. Resolution by Clyde, of Multnomah, endorsing parole system, and com mending a more merciful system to all Judges,, Referred to committee . on resolu tions. That committee reported ad versely on resolution that no bill be introduced the last Ave days-, and that the house go on record against rail roading bills and machine bills. Re port adopted. ...... . Eaton's resolution that all resolu tions on. same subject be reported out In order of Introduction, Ho, made a sp'eech'fbr his resolution. Under this rule there could be no unfairness, no discrimination and large sums of money would be Baved to the state. The committee had "reported, adverse ly. All members should have equal rights. Already more clerks, were employed than ever before.. Buchan an defended the resolutions commit tee. MeKInney did the same. In 1909 Katon showed that a total of .65 clerks was , employed." So far more than 65 were already employed and the army of clorks on the enrolled bills and' engrossed bills committees was yet to coiiip. Thompson spoke against the prac tice of reporting hack In ' the order of introduction resolutions for jun kets and investigating committees. There were 40 such propositions be fore the committee for junkets and visiting trips. The Katon resolution would make it a race to get resolu tions In. The first man to his feet would get the plum and that was the kick against the committee. It The Astoria Centennial is meeting with hearty approval wherever il is mentioned. Last night t lie Federa tion of Labor, in session here, en dorsed it unanimously. Yterday afttnoon a delegation of business men from Astoria met with the ways, and nutans committees of both houses and presented arguments as to why the legislature should aid financially In celebrating the saving of the North west empire to the United States. Senator Alice, speaking for the committee, said it was unanimous in the belief the celebration should be held, and that he felt that no matter how much othr appropriations might be cut, that for the Astoria celebration should not be cut a dol lar. The event is of vast importance, and at least two million good Amerl nan citizens are now living within its area. As an Intimation of its popularity, the following associations have en dorsed It: Oregon Development League. Portland Commercial Club. Civic Council of Portland. Oregon Wool Growers' convention. Convention of County Judges and Commissioners. i Oregon State Federation of L-i-bor. 109 Chambers of Commerce. Hoards of Trade. Commercial Clubs. And many other bodies. All newspapers. would take pages of the records to hold these reports and the commit tee would not report them unless called for and then it would be re ported adversely. Mr. Buchanan re-, plied on this line to Mr.' Abrams' speech in support of the Eaton reso lution. On motion of Cushman, the previous question was ordered and the adverse report of the committee sustained. JOINT COMMITTEE ON SEW ASYLUM.
