TARIFF BILL PASSES LOWER HOUSE
BY STRICTLY PARTY VOTE THE UNDERWOOD TARIFF BILL PASSED
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ON THURSDAY

Washington, May S.-The Under
wood tariff bill, proclaimed by the
democratic party as the answer to
its platform pledge to reduce the tar
iff downward, was passed by the
house late today. The vote was 2S1
to 139, five democrats voting against
the bill and two republicans voting
for it. Four progressives supported
the measure and fourteen opposed it.
White, the one independent progress
sive, Joined the majority.
When Speaker Clark announced
the vote in loud tone that revealed
his satisfaction, the exuberant demo-
Gratis here started a stuffed demo-
cratic donkey over the heads of their
colleagues in the rear of the cham
ber, a faint ripple of applause fol-
lowed and the gavel fell on the first
chapter in the history of President
Wilson's extra session of congress.
, With the bill on it's way to the
senate there was a rush of represent
atives to their homes tonight In
the house adjournment will be taken
three days at the time of the begin
ming of next week, until June 1.
Republicans and progressives, led
respectively by Representatives Mann
and Murdock, protested to the last
against the measure, the lowest tar
iff ever written and proclaiming, as
democratic avalanche bowled them
over, the virtues of differing tariff
commission plans
Republicans who voted for the bill
were Cary and Stanford of Wiscon-
sin. The democrats who opposed it
were Broussard, Dupre, Lazars and
Morgan of Louisiana, and C. S. Smith
of New York. Progressiyes who vot-
ed for the bill were Kelly and Rup-
ley of Pennsylvania, holland of Cali
fornia, and Bryan of Washington.
Kent of California, formerly republi-
can but now Independent progressive,
also voted for the bill.
Progressive Leader Murdock and
thirteen of his progressive followers
voted with the minority. Tomorrow
the tariff fight will shift from the
house, with its overwhelming demo

cratic majority, to the senate, where
the party's slim majority of six has
been reduced, so far as this bill is
concerned, to four. Unless the SEN
ators familiar with the progress of
such legislation are mistaken. there
is now little prospect of final vote
on the bill before August 1.
The bills passage through the
senate will be fought at every step by
the republicans. Leaders of the
democrats on the senate finance COM
mittee expressed the belief tonight il
would go through practically in the
form passed in the house and their
small majority would stand firm 10
the last.
The democratic leaders acknowl-
edged that two senator's from Louis
lana will not accept the sugar sched-
ule and they might be willing to
combine with others to defeat the
whole bill. Although reports about
the senate that the democrats are
expected to lose one more senator on
the sugar question and one on the
wool, they refuse to confirm it,
Republicans interested in beating
the bill and who canvassed those
democrats who looked at all doubtful
agreed tonight they had little chance
OF success, and that with the excep.
tion of the two senator's from Louis
lana they cannot count upon a single
vote.

mo CHANGE
in HIGHWAY
ASHLAND COMMERCIAL CLUB
JOINS IN PROTEST.
BEST AS WELL AS MOST SCENIC
improvements in Highway Ordered
by County Board Makes This Route
the Best Possible as Well as Most
Scenic.

The committee appointed at the
recent meeting of the Ashland Com
mercial Club to draft resolutions pro-
testing against the changing of the
national Pacific highway to eastern
Oregon has reported the following,
which will be forwarded to the prop
er officials
Whereas, The United States gov
ernment contemplates the establish
ment of a national highway system;
and
Whereas, This tentative system
embraces the use of the Pacific high
way from Seattle, Wash, to San
Diego, CAL; and
Whereas, 1t is said that the city
of Portland, Ore, through its COM
mercial bodies and auto clubs, con-
templates different route for fed
eral aid than that proposed by the
Federal Highway Association of
Washington, d. c., and by Repre-
sentative Warburton, of the state of
Washington; and
Whereas, the said Portland route
would cut off from federal aid all
that portion of the Pacific highway
lying south of Eugene, Ore, to Sac
ramento, CAL, thus depriving tour
lists and travellers of the sDlendid
scenic beauty and salubrious climate
of the Rogue River Valley and the
Siskiyou range of maintains between
Ashland, Ore, and Sacramento, Cal. !;
and q
Whereas, The sAaae over the Sis
kiyou range is being changed and
reduced by Jackson county, Oregon,
so that the steepest ascent will not
exceed 6 per cent, and the major por-
tion of said grade will not exceed 2
per cent, thus constituting this route
the easiest and most accessible that
can be found between Eugene, Ore,
and Sacramento, Cal; therefore,
Be it resolved, That the CONNER
cial Club of Ashland, Ore, is op-
posed to any change in the plan for
the national highway as outliner by
the National Highway Association
and the Hon. Stanton Warburton, as
it applies to the state of Oregon. -

New White Slave Bill.

Sacramento, May 1O.-With the
passage by the senate today of SEN
ator Grants pandering bill, as
amended in the assembly, and the

any keeper of house of prostitution
who shall receive as inmate a woman
who has not been engaged in the
traffic, providing penalty ranging
from three to fifty years in the peni-
tentiary. Heretofore the term has
been from five to ten years.

ORGANIZE SPORTSMEN
Special Effort Being Made to Have
SpOrtsmen Get Together to
Protect Game.

Special effort is being made by
State Game Warden William L. Fin
ley to organize the sportsmen in
every community throughout the
state. In many places organizations
have been formed and good results
have been secured.
I'm order to carry out the work
that has been outlined by the State
Board of Fish and Game Commis-
sioners, and to have our fields and
forests abound in game and our
streams stocked with fish, it is very
necessary that we have the active
assistance of sportsmen in different
parts of the state" says Mr.. Finley.
The object of these sportsmen' S
clubs is to assist the commission in
planting trout and other game fish
in the various creeks and rivers, and
to release different varieties of game
birds which are now being raised at
the state game farm in places where
they will thrive and do we'll. We
intend to do this distributing of fish
and game birds through the sports
mems organizations"
The new fish-distributing car,
Rainbow" has been built at cost
of $1,000. This car is specially
equipped with a large number of
cans and an air-pump and necessary
apparatus so that trout fry can be
taken from the hatcheries and de-
livered in any part of the state where
the railroad runs. From these rail-
road points the sportsmen are to take
the fish in wagons, automobiles or
other conveyances to the streams to
be stocked.
The various railroads in the state
have offered free transportation for
the Misunderstanding car, which is a
considerable saving to the game-pro-
lection fund. T. ]. Craig, who has
fish distribution in charge, will begin
taking out trout from the central
hatchery at Bonneville the latter part
of next month. Applications for
trout or game birds should be made
Immediately through the sportsmen s
organization in each community.
Another object of having the
sportsmen organized is to secure a
better sentiment in certain localities
in favor of game protection. 1t is
impossible to secure the enforcement
of game laws unless the citizens OF
any locality are in favor of such en-
forcement.
1t is planned to have at least one
or several such organizations in every
county in the state. A general con.
vention of sportsmen is to be held
next October or November, at which
. time delegates will assemble from all
over the state. An active campaign
will be begun to make Oregon one
of the greatest hunting ana Fishing
grounds in the country. 1t is con.
tended that this will be an attractive
advertisement and drawing caro-
for desirable class of tourists who
have money to spend and money tc
invest. Game protection and game
propagation is business proposition
not only for the man who lives in the
city, but for the farmer. the fruit
grower and the timberman.

at his disposal and later it will be in
