Odds and Ends
Picked up by
the Reporter

The present legislature of Oregon
smells to the skies, or rather the house
does. This is strong statement, but it
is made deliberately, without passion,
and with due respect to the law per-
tanning to libel.
Not only does the lower branch
smell to high heaven, but also down to
the bowels of the earth--wherever
that is, and it's our guess that it goes
pretty deep. Now don't lose your tenn
pers, you virtuous members, but recall
to mind the corn cob pipe Of Repre-
sentative S. Z. Peirce, Of the Coos
Curry district. Honest, now, is the
above statement libelous?
Peirce's pipe! Phew! If there is
any stronger odor than this tobacco
receptacle in Oregon outside Of an inn
ported limburger cheese, it has yet to
be discovered. It's the strong predom-
mating feature Of the legislature, and
like the poor and some other things,
is always with us, for the Port Oxford
man and his pipe are inseparable. He
pulls at 1t all the time except when the
house is in session, and during ses-
sions holds it in his mouth without
smoke or fire.
In fact, if one were deaf and blind,
he would know the house had adjourn
ed just by the odor Of that pipe start
ing up, for Mr.. Peirce always has a
match ready in his hand No sudden
adjournment ever catches him nap
ping.
And that's going some. Any pipe
that can put it over all the cigarettes,
various brands of cigars and briar
pipes that pollute the legislative halls
is jim dandy.
Outside of that and his bald head
Mr.. Peirce, who is a second-termer, is
all right He's one Of the solid mem
bers Of the house and is chairman of
the important roads and highways
committee. He used the same pipe at
the session two years ago, and it was
not new then.

While Mr. Peirce is an awful nice
man, his wife, who is with him here
at the legislature, is still nicer She
has endeared herself forever to the
newspaper representatives stationed in
the house, and henceforth should be
known to fame as Mother to the press
gang"
Her inbred love for orderllness and
neat housekeeping was shocked one
day as she passed the press table
which was Uttered with newspapers,
bill books, bills, copy paper, cigar
stubs, typewrlters, spilled tobacco, etc,
In wild disorder, The result Of It all
was that she offered ito daily post the
bills in the bill books for the writer's,
hoping that they would take the hint
and clean up the table.
But It is a forlorn hope. Those
Portland sons-of-guns are such a SLOW

methodlcally neat and orderly, de-
plore the tables condition.

SUNDRY CIVIL BILL
AGAIN COMES UP
Exact Reproduction of One Vetoed
by Taft Now in the House.

Washington, April 21-The sun
dry civil appropriation bill in the
identical form in which it was
vetoed by President Taft in the clos
ing hours of the last Congress, was
considered in the house today and
its reading completed, but action on
it was deferred until tomorrow. The
measure was taken up under spe-
cial rule to expedite it through the
house. 1t carries $116, 100000 for
various expenses Of the government
during the next fiscal year
Mr.. Taft vetoed the bill because
Of a provision that no part of
100000 appropriated for anti
trust prosecutions should be used in
cases against organizations of farm
ers or laborers. In reintroducing
the measure with this provision in
cluded, the appropriations commit
tee is known to be acting with the

FAVOR AGGRESSIVE
TARIFF CAMPAIGN
Republican Caucus Votes to Wage
Constructive Fight on BILL
Payne Leadership.

Washington, April 21.-After a
lively fight house Republicans I'm
open caucus tonight voted In favor
of an aggressive constructive tarifr
campaign during the consideration
of the Democratic tariff bill. BY a
vote of 62 to 27 the caucus rejected
resolution resented by Repre-
sentative Moore of Pennsylvania to
prevent the Republicans from offer
ing as party measures any amend
ment to the Underwood bill.
Representative Payne of New
York, author of the present law, led
the fight against the Moore resolu-
tion and urged the adoption of a
substitute for the wool schedule of
the Underwood bill, which he had
presented to the Republicans of the
ways and means committee. This
substitute bill, fixing the rate on
pure wool at Is cents a pound, and
arranging the duties on the various
stages of manufactured wool at
relative compensatory rates, was
adopted by the caucus.
The discussion was spirited and
representative Payne made vigor-
Gus speech in support of his bill. He
was interrupted frequently by Rep
resentative Fordney and the two
veterans shCok their fists at each
other over half a dozen rows of
seats as Mr.. Fordney declared the
bill offered by Mr.. Payne offered the
manufacturers less protection than
the Underwood bill.
Representative Lenroot of Wis
consin, made a plea for the Payne
bill, declaring the Progressive Re-
publicans had come more than half
way" in their agreement to support
1T and he believed the Republicans
should unite on the measure. He
pointed out that the rules commit
tee in preparing the rule under
which the Underwood bill will be
considered, had tactitly agreed to
allow the Progressives as well as
the Republicans an opportunity to
offer substitute for the Underwood
bill.
Representative Gardner said Re-
publicans of the ways and means
committee were not ready to sub
NIT cotton bill and the caucus ad-
journed until Thursday night.

CHILDREN's HOME MISSION DAY
Interesting Services at Presbyterian
Church.

An interesting service was held
last Sunday morning in the Presby-
terian church which was largely at
tended. The first part of the pro-
gram was rendered by the children
OF the Sunday school. Eight of the
larger girls formed the choir and
the organ was played by Miss Estelle
Milling. Just below the choir loft
was grouped a number of smaller
children who joined in the bright.
attractive songs and gave a number
OF little recitations. These chill
dren's day exercises bore directly on
home missions. Mr.. John H. Poag,
the energetic and efficient superin-
tendent of the Sunday sokool led
the 'resposive readings. Rev. Hugh
K. Murchison, the pastor made an
instructive and interesting talk on
home missions, particularly that
most Important part of it, known as
the mountain work" He told of
the long and faithful service Of Rev.
e. o. Guerrant, ID. D., the pioneer
missionary of the Presbyterian
church among the mountaineers.
He also spoke of his own personal
experience as q young man doing
missionary work among the poor
and ignorant people of the noun
tains of our own state. At the close
of the service a voluntary collection
for home missions, which amounted
to SIS, was made.

TILLMAN SCORES
TARIFF PLEADER
Writes Hot Letter to One of the
Protected-The Whole Country
1rnrrSnI

Writes Hot Letter to One of the
Protected-The Whole Country
Aroused.
Washington, April 21.-Senator
Tillman wrote a red hot letter today
to John Fisher of Philadelphia, who
is largely interested in the Worsted
Spinners' Association, in answer to
one from him, in which the South
Carolina senator takes issue with
the man from the Quaker state as
to the Underwood tariff bill being
radically" wrong.
Mr.. Fishers letter is as follows:
There are many members of Con-
gress who know that the Wilson bill
now before them is radically wrong
in a very great many respects. They
know it is deadly blow at the
workshop and yet they are doing
nothing to defeat it. Why? Is it
the promise OF political patronage?
Is 1T the promise of committee ap-
pointments? If so, do they intend
to sell out the prosperity and happi-
ness of this great, free, liberty-lov-
ing people, for a mess Of pottage.,
Don't you be with them, anyhow"
To this Senator Tillman replied:
Yours of April 10 received. Are
you right sure that you are correct
in charging that the tariff bill now
being considered by Congress is
radically wrong in a very great
many respects?'
Are you not one OF those Repub-
l1can protectionists who have fat
tened all these years at the expense
of the people and have grown rich
without honest work for it? Penn
Sylvania has had her full share of
the graft and stealing wrought by
the protective tariff and the rest of
the country is now trying to get it's
share or pull you off. Better revise
your viewpoint and give other peo-
pie the credit of being as patriotic
and wise as you are"

AFTER RAILROADS
ON BAGGAGE RATES
Every Line in the Country Defen-
dant Before Interstate Commerce
Commission

Every Line i'm the Country Defen-
dant Before Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Washington, April 21.-Every
railroad line in the country was a
defendant in the hearing today be-
fore the interstate commerce COM
mission in a proceeding instituted
by the national baggage committee
attacking as illegal and unjust the
excess baggage rates eXacted by the
carriers. To an extent, likewise,
every traveller, who carries baggage
in excess of $50 pounds is party in
interest.
Four years ago the railroads in
creased their charge for excess
weight of baggage from 12b per
cent of the first class passenger rate
to ~ per cent. Commercial
travellers particularly contended
that the rate was unwarranted and
unreasonable. Testimony was in
troduced today to show that COM
mercial travellers in England were
permitted to carry 336 pounds of
baggage on a first class ticket and
in Canada 800 pounds
The complainant committee urg-
ed the commission to restore the
former rate of 12h per cent of first
class fare on excess baggage, with
a minimum of 25 cents.
