Agreement to Block
Owen Bill and Clear
Decks for Shipping
and the Revenue Bill
Enough Democrats Will Vote with Republicans
to Defeat Motion on Owen Bill - Hope Re-
ewed for Early Adjournment

Washington, Aug. 17-Administra
ton Senate leaders, confronted by the
determination of Senator Owen to
press his corrupt practices bill at this
session of Congress. made an agree
ment with the Republicans today
which they believe will clear a way
for passage of the shipping and rev.
enue bills now temporarily blocked
1t was agreed that Senator Owen
might move to take up his bill at any
time. and that enough Democrats
would vote with the Republicans
against the motion to defeat it.
For hours today the shipping bill
was being discussed in monotones to
empty seats, Democratic and Republi-
can leaders consulted over the legis-
lative deadlock. It was said tonight
that enough Democratic promises to
oppose Senator Ovens motion had
been secured to assure what the Re-
publicans earnestly desire, a postpone
ment of action on the Owen bill until
the next session. A vote on the ship
ping bill probably will be permitted
by the Republicans tomorrow or Sat-
urday under this agreement. The days
developments served to renew hope
for an early adjournment Of Congress
when advocates Of the immigration
bill injected a new disturbing feature
Senator Borah, in the course Of a
speech on the shipping bill, referred to
the need for immediate immigration
legislation and the resulting discus
sion revealed evidences of another
Democratic revolt. Senator Hardwick

Nearness to War

At Riddle Mr.. Hughes declared that
depreciation in American repute"
due to a policy of vacillation had
brought the country nearer to war than
1T would have been had firm and con-
sistept. policy been maintained.
Those who think we are decadent
and weak and haven't got the old spirit
are very much mistaken" he said.
'.They do not represent the country"
Dominant Americanism
In his address at Grants Pass. MT.
Hughes defined dominant American
ism as follows:
I'VE must have good drive ahead;
and there is no reason why in this
country with it's ability and natural
resources, we should not have perma :
nent prosperity. To do that we must
look after our own. That is what
mean by dominant Americanism, able
to take care of American interests. In
addition to that we want aIso-ano
YOU cannot have much OF natlon
without tan intense regard Tor our
national honor and disposition to
maintain it. I am solicitious to pre-
serve peace and good will.
I'VE want the friendship and good
will of all the nations Of the world.
They are very friendly disposed to U.S.
But if we are to keep out of trouble,
we must respect ourselves and have
others respect us.
There is no safe guarantee Of peace
when others begin to see how much they
can trife with you and you decide you
won't stand it. They have got to know
YOU mean what you say and. in the things
which really concern you. that you are
prepared to maintain them. That Is gooo
Americanism. 1t will give us peace WIZ
honor. That is what America wants"
Mr.. Hughes was accompanied on the
trip from Portland by Chester H. Rowell
former Progressive national committee
man from California and now a member
of the Republican campaign committee
Mr.. Rowell discussed with the nominee
the situation in California.
The nominee spent most OF the day rest
ing. He said he felt "bully" and that
his voice was improving.

Bonds to Meet Mexico
Expense--$86,0 100000
More After Dec. 21st
Democrats of Senate Finance Committee Make
Recommendation to Congress with Concur
renee of Treasury Department

This increase is represented principally
by $167. 100000 additional amount appro-
priated for the navy, s166, 100000 addition
al amount appropriated for the army, $50
100000 additional amount appropriated for
1ortlhcatlons, s4l0O0,0O0 for deficiency APP
propriations-about s35, 900 Of which Is
due to the Mexican situation and increas-
ed requirements of the army and navy
and $2O.O00,000 for a nitrate plant, which
is preparedness appropriation The in
crease in the appropriations for the pres
ent fiscal year other than for the extra
ordinary purposes, is not beyond the nor
NAL amount.
But for the additional expenditures
made necessary to defray the most of
preparedness the increased revenue to be
raised by this bill would not be necessa-
ry and the estimated receipts under the
present law would be considerably in ex-
cess of the estimated disbursements for
the fiscal year 1917 In this connection at
tention is called to the fact that s21, 900, :
600 of the normal increase for the pres
ent year represents the amount appro-
priated for rural credits and good roads.
In its analysis of the revenue bill as
revised by the Senate committee the
treasury department estimates that the
annual revenue to be derived will be:
From income tax. s1o9, 500 OOo inherit
ance tax. soo,ooo,o0o for 1917 latter law is
IN full force). approximately s65, o0o, 900;

fore adjournment, and Senator Ash :

Washington, Aug. ia bond issue
due to the Mexican situation was un-
expectedly recommended to Congress
tonight by majority members Of the
Senate finance committee with the
concurrence of the treasury depart
ment. The bond issue is urged in the
report Of the finance committee de-
mands filed in the Senate late today
on the s205, 100000 revenue bill. In ad-
dition to the proposed issue and the
revenue bill the finance committee as
serts that further appropriation Of
$S6,000,000 will be necessary to de-
fray the expense Of operations in the
Mexican emergency if conditions on
the border continue as they are now
after Dec. 81, 1916. The $130,00O,00 to
be provided by the proposed bond is
sue, the report says, will meet Mexi-
can expenditures only until the end
Of this calendar year.

Accompanying the finance commit
tee majority's report submitted by
Senator Simmons was a general state
ment from the Treasury department
estimating disbursements for the ifs
cal year 1917 at s1,126, 900 and re-
ceipts $762,OO0,000.
THE total appropriations for the

The evidence is against insect transmits

speaking in the name Of the welfare
Of a nation, can make. But from such
information as can be gathered, it ap-
pears that the railroad presidents, if
tho mnagers' committee understands
them are unalterably opposed to con-
ceding the eight-hour day or anything
else out of hand but are quite ready
to arbitrate anything and everything in
almost any form of arbitration upon
which the employees and the committee
may agree.
Stand Of Railroads
The railroad presidents, it is under
stood, justify their stand upon the
broad ground of maintaining the prin-
ciple of arbitration which if sacrificed
in this instance, they intend to tell
the President, will be destroyed as a
factor in the settlement Of industrial
disputes.
If the railroad presidents persist in
that view and are supported by the
| financial powers, only the future can
tell the outcome.
With the growing seriousness Of the
i situation, Congress began paying more
real attention to the crisis today, and
vention to prevent a nationwide tie
up.
Presidents Invitation
President Wilson's invitation was sent
to the following railroad presidents:
Daniel Willard, Baltimore & Ohio; Sam
ID T. IT.; rfo
Southern Railway; Samuel M. FELTON,.
Chicago & Great Western; George NJ. Ste
vens. Chesapeake & Ohio; William

ma; ]. H. Hustis, Boston &, Maine; E. P.
Ripley, Santa Fe; r. H. Ashton, Chicago
&, Northwestern; A. ]. Earring, Chicago,
Milwaukee 6, st. Paul
Prepare Statement
The general expectation is that the
railroad officials, after seeing the
President tomorrow, will ask that they
be given several days, perhaps week
or more to consider their course. Those
Of the officials who arrived tonight
went into session soon after their ar
rival, with the managers committee
and it was said that one Of the posi-
bilities under consideration was the
preparation of a statement to be CIV
en- out before their visit to the Pres
ident putting their position before the
country.
Indications We're not lacking that it
would take a strong appeal to induce
the presidents to reverse the attitude
that has been taken by their represent
atives on the managers committee.
Asked whether the managers would be
backed up in their decision, President
Daniel l.. Willard Of the Baltimore &
Ohio said: Il assume they will be-.
