House Of Representatives the
Scene OF Strenuous TuSsIe
This Afternoon
LOBBIES PACKED WITH
FRIENDS AND FOES
Measures Made Special order of Bus-
ness for Today and Hottest Debate
of Session Now in Progrcss-State
Aid and Highway Commission Bills
Draw Fire.

salem, Ore, FeD. 10.-A strenuous
tussle is on in the house today over
the various good roads bills which
were made special order of business.
The lobbies are packed with the
friends and foes of the measures.
The principal bills under discus
sion are the acts calling for state aid
in road building and for the appoint
ment of state highway commission.
Three other bills Of less importance,
are also up. All of the good roads
measures, save the state aid law, have
already passed the senate.
Under the terms of the highway
commission law the three members of
the board are to serve without pay.
The board will elect a high way COM
missioner, or engineer, at salary of
$4,000 per year, and he is to have su-
pervision over the road work done un-
der the state aid plan. However, ne
will have nothing to do with the To-
cation of roads, that being entirely
in the hands Of the county courts.
Under the provisions Of the state
aid law each county within the state
may secure $4,000 OF state money
during the next two years by spend
ing twice that amount itself in the
construction of permanent highways.

URGES
RECIPROCITY TREATY

Columbus, o., Feb. 10.-Speaking at
the annual corn show today here,
Taft urged the adoption of the new
Canadian reciprocity treaty. He said
the greatest reason for adopting the
agreement is that it will unite two
countries of kindred people to the
advantage of both. He said it would
not hurt the farmers, as the Canadi-
ans are as well paid and the costs are
about the same. He said he believed
in protection, but when articles are
imported from other countries where
the conditions of labor and other cir
cumstances are identical there is no
justification for a protective tariff.
Taft said in part: Il am a repub-
ucan because the republican party
has always pursued a policy of pro-
lection for American industries and
manufactures, later limiting its pur-
pose in the matter of protection to
the difference in the cost of produc-
ton at home and abroad with an
allowance for a reasonable profit for
the American producer. The protec-
ton thus stated removes the justifi-
cation for any protective tariff what
ever on articles imported from coun-
tries where the conditions of labor
and other circumstances are identical
with ours. Canada is our neighbor.
Her SOIL her traditions, her language
and climate are like our own. She
has a free popular government with
a wage earning class as intelligent and
as well paid as our own"

TAFT CALLED UPON
TO MAKE STATEMENT
LA TOILETTE CHARGES HIM
WITH EVADING ISSUE
Wlsconsin's strenuous senator Calls
Upon President TO Affirm or Deny
Charge Made Against Him in Open
Letter.

Washington, Feb l0.-A direct de-
mand that Taft publicly answer the
question whether he is attempting to
dodge a decision in the Cunningham
coal land case is made by Senator La
Toilette in his magazine, in an open
letter TO the president. The letter as
serts that it has been publicly stated
that the two bills introduced in the
senate by Nelson Of Minnesota, Have
in some measure received your sup
port" The first is a special bill for
the transfer of the decision in the
Cunningham case from your hands o
the court Of appeals of the District of
Columbia The secand bill provides
for the transfer OF the decision on all
land cases from the executive to the
courts and authorizing a new trial in
all cases. already heard by the de-
partment of the interior.
La Toilette asserts the Cunning
ham entries are Illegal and that the
bills are simply an attempt to dodge
the issue.
After pointing out that Taft has af-
firmed directly and directly his de-
'NliiihaNloi 10 pass pSlsohallS oh tAS
Cunningham case and calling atten-
ton to the fact that he permitted
Pinchot to file a brief with him in
the case, the letter says the claimants
had a fair trial with no errors and the
evidence establishes conclusively that
the claims were entered under an IL
legal agreemnt to combine after title
was secured, so they should be can
celled on the grounds of fraud

BARRETT WILL NOT
Be OUT OF OFFICE
NEW REAPPORTONME BILL
HAS BEEN INTRODUCED
Instead of Representing Three Coun-
ties Athena Man VIII Be Senator
From Five.

If the reapportionment bill now
agreed upon is adopted by the legis-
.ature Umatilla county will hence
forth have one state senator, as at
present, and a joint senator with
Morrow, Gillian and Wheeler. Sen
ator Barrett will serve out his term
as joint senator from these five coun-
ties Instead Of being joint senator
from Umaula, Union and Morrow.
The following story bearing upon
this subject was in last nights edition
of the Portland Telegram:
The reapportionment bill makes the
following changes IN the present law:
It gives Multnomah seven instead of
six senator's and one jointly with
Clackamas. instead Of with CIackamas
and Columbia; one senator is allowed
Jackson and one Jointly to that coun-
ty and Josephine, instead of one for
each, as is now the case; Clatsop and
Columbia get one joint senator; Una
tilla gets one senator and another
Jointly with Gillian, Sherman, Nor
row and Wheeler.
The arrangement as to Umatilla
county was necessitated by the fact
that both Senator Burgess and Sena-
tor Barrett will hold over until the
next session of the legislature, and in
order not to put them out of office an
arrangement was made by which
Burgess will represent Umatilla solely
and Barrett the other counties as
we'll
