(speclal Correspondence.l J

Salem, Ore, Feb. 17,-That the
extent at least, from its rigid opposi-
tion to appropriations is indicated by
its actions today.
During the forenoon today the coy
ote bounty bill came up for final pas
sage in the senate. When the roll
was called but five senators voted
against the measure. As the bill has
already passed the house it now mere
ly awaits the governors signature.
That it will be signed by Governor
Chamberlain, is regarded as certain.
Last evening. by a narrow margin,
the appropriation bill for an eastern
Oregon branch insane asylum was
killed. but it is now believed that the
vote will be reconsidered and that
the bill will finally carry.
Normal Schools Unsettled.
Upon the question of the normal
schools the end is not yet in sight.
The action of the senate in voting for
the Portland normal school bill was
blow TO the normal forces. The ac-
ton of Senator Cole in refusing to
stand with the normal school forces
has also been a handicap to those
who desire to save the present nor
mails.
As matters now stand the senate
will not pass the house normal school
bills nor will the house stand for the
one normal school bill. This being
the case a compromise must be ef-
fected or no provision whatever will
be made for maintaining normal ed |
ucation in the state.
Smith Works for Compromise.
Senator c. J. Smith is now working ,
to effect n compromise whereby the !
senate will vote money to maintain

that this will be the final solution of
The question, though in view of the
'quabble in which the schools are in
rolved it is difficult to foretell what

The water code bill will come up

that the bill will pass.

praiser's court; and recommended
most of the administrative tariff

which have since been adopted. Con-
gress provided for the administrative
machinery designed by this tariff
commission.
But the tariff commission we ASK
for now does not go so far as the tar
iff commission of 1882 went. We are
now asking only commission Of cX-
pcrts 10 find out facts and make clas-
slficatlons. Congress Is 10 fix duties
from these facts and adjust them to
these classificatiOns.
A permanent tariff commission is
inevitable, because committees of
Congress cannot do the work These
committees attempt to find out he
facts by holding hearings" At these
"hearings" crowds of men represent
ing various industries desirous Of
special rates of duty, jam the COM
mittee rooms. Each one Of them is
carefully prepared upon his own par
tlcular business-of necessity he is
far better prepared than the whole
committee put together. Very few
witnesses appear before the commit
tee representing the great body of
consumers.
Hearings Rushed.
These hearings are rushed through
with all possible speed, because the
cOuntry's business necessarily waits
until the new tariff law is passed
After these brief hearings, the COM
mittee Is supposed TO digest such
facts as the bulky volumes of testi-
mony disclose. No equity court
cause where the testimony took up
even half the space of a single vol
ume OF these committee hearings,
without first referring such testimony
to a master in chancery to have it
digested and reported.
Having attempted to sift these vol
luminous masses of scattered testi-
mony thus hastily taken. the commit
tee next goes to the even harder work
of fixing new rates of duty. Before
finally fixing them, they are supposed
to become thoroughly acquainted
with all the other elements. foreign
and domestic, already mentioned
which should determine those duties
The result OF all this is a new tariff
But we who are demanding an AM
crican tariff commission are ask
ing only n commission which shall
find out and digest the facts and make
scientific classiflcations and report
both TO Congress. so that Congress
may have all this preparatory work
done when Congress goes 10 its Iegi-
innate work OF fixing tariff duties
and determining tariff policies.
