half century and have had in operation
their present store at 7th and E streets

Democrats for Appropriations.

1.-The democrats have talked about
economy. but they have helped enlarge
every appropriation, and there are bills
introduced by democrats and not acted
upon which would call for 10000, O0O
additional expenditure. So, I take it,
their talk of economy is Pickwickian. AS
1 said in the beginning, the work Of this
Congress has been greater than any other
with which 1 have been identified as
member, and 1t has been constructive
legislation in the face Of destructive tact
les and efforts to create faciOnal strife.
These efforts, / regret to say, have
receive more attention in the public press
than the real work of legislation, and
having given SO much space to these
revolutionary efforts, at the expense Of
the record work, 1t is not surprising that
some of the editors should suddenly dis
cover in those last days that the repub-
lican Congress has enacted laws to carry
out the pledges Of the republican plat
form, and then jump at the conclusion
that this work has been done in haste
before adjournment. instead of being
the painstaking effort Of seven months
by the committees and the members Of
Congress"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-06-26
Type of Party Legislation.

'1n my judgment, this is the best illus
tration of party legislation We have had
in many years. and it fully justifies the
necessity for party action in a great leg
islative body. If there had not been
party solidarity on this bill there would
have been no legislation creating postal
savings banks"
The Speaker then detailed other legisla-
ton which had been enacted.
1.-The appropriations. he said, "have
been large. but not nearly as large as de-
manded by the people who were agitated
over the development of the various de-
partments of the government. There has
not been single appropriation bill that
has not been increased by a non-partisan
vote in the House over the report from
the committee. This would seem to indi-
cate that the demand for economy Is like
the demand for reduction of the tariff, and
always applies to the appropriation other
than those in which the agitatOrs are inter-
ested. The people who want a larger
navy are willing to economic on every
thing else. and the same is true of those
who want large appropriations for the
Department of Agriculture, for the army,
for the improvement of rivers and har-
bOrs, for public buildings and for all the
other activities of the federal govern
ment.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 18.-The state board
of contr oil has fixed cents as the retail
price of penitentiary grain sacks for
this year, or 5. 9 cents when the appli-
cants combine orders to make carload
shipment. These prices are for the
bags delivered to any railroad station
in the state, based on the estimate OF
the crop made by the state grain com
mission.
The board apportioned the 1900, 0Oo
bags to b manufactured this spring
to the grain growing counties in guam
titles as follows: Garfield, 80, POS;
Columbia, 91,645; Walla Walla, ia,

tions must be made before April l to

bags in the warehouse.

JAPAN PLAS TO OPEN
PORT ARTHUR TO WORLD

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Notice of the
intention Of the Japanese government
to open Port Arthur to worldwide
commerce is indicated in Tokyo dis
patches to the Japanese embassy about
two months ago. but it was said the
issuing of the order would be with
held until the COVER ment was able to
FIX the exact date for the opening.
The purpose is not to make Port
Arthur a free port in the sense of
Hamburg, where goods may enter free
of duty and be placed in bond, but
simply to put it on a footing with New
York or any other commercial city.
The significant point of this is the
fact that it marks the determination of
the japanese government to abandon
Port Arthur as great sea coast fort
ress.

THIRD UNIT OF UMATILLA
PROJECT READY FOR ENTRY

Washington, Jan. 18-Twenty thou
sand acres of land bodrering upon the
Cnolumbia river, about 100 miles east
of Portland, Or, embraced in the third
unit of the Umatilla irrigation project

ing the irrigation system is $50 an
acre, payable $18 an acre at the time
