Washington, D. c., Jan. 12.-The
passage of a permanent tariff COM
mission bill is advocated by President
John Cobb of the national tariff COM
mission association who addressed the
delegates today.
'If we desire sound results" he
said, "the first step is to secure a
thorough knowledge of existing con-
ditions''
President Jacob Schurman of Cor
nell university in addressing the con-
vention, said revision shouldn't be left
entirely to the commission. $50 many
elements enter into tariff revision that
a commission cannot replace con-
gress which voices the judgment of
the people. This is a fundamental
question and the findings Of the tar
IF commission alone cannot furnish
a scientific solution and take the tar
if out of politics.

the eastern oregon branch of the hos
pital for the insane, which is to be
located near this city, announced to-
the East Oregonian last evening that
he expected to ask the legislature for
an additional appropriation of about

was 100000 for the purchase of

would be used up before the state

first allotment Of funds was totally
inadequate for the erection of one
modern fire-proof building large
enough to accommodate 600 patients.

present his report and recommenda-
tions to the board Of trustees and the

LONG DISTANCE
FOR ALL PHONES

Salem, Or, Jan. IA bill of i'm
portance to residents of many towns
in Oregon will be introduced at the
present session of the legislature by
Representative Edward G. ANIME of
Multnomah, compelling the telephone
companies to connect with the local
exchange of all cities and towns in
which they enter with their long dis
tance lines.
The situation at present exists in
which the Pacific elephone & Tele-
graph company has long distance
lines into places where the exchanges
are independent systems with no
agreements with the larger corpora
ton. The same frequently applies to
the Northwest Telephone & Tele-
graph company. Where such a sit
uation occurs the company having nc
local connection establishes a booth
in some central part of the munich
pality and the party called by long
distance must come from his home
to this booth. Very often it may be
a matter of miles and at the same time
there may be telephone of the other
system in the residence of the person
called.
