Despite Threats of
Penrose, Committee Votes
to Report Favorably

Washington, d. c., Feb. 8.-Private ar1nor plate
manufacturers notified the senate naval committee
that they would raise the price of armor plate 5000
per ton if congress decided to erect purchase
plate factories for the government. The committee
nevertheless voted to recommend the government
plants.
After brief consideration the committee favor

CONFIRMATION?

Washington, Feb. S.--Renewal Of the
fight against George Rublee of
Cornish, N. H, now serving on the
federal trade commission as a recess
appointee, was forecast when Senator
Gallinger, during an executive session
of the senate. demanded a committee
on the appointment. Senator Calling
er. who led the opposition during the
last session of congress, has declared
that MT. Rublee is personally OBJ
noxious to him. .@
Mr.. Rublee was nominated a year
ago, and when congress adjourned a
month later WITHOUT confirming him,
he was given the recess appointment
by President Wilson. The appoint
ment was referred to a. subcommittee
of the. interstate commerce committee,
of which Senator Pomerene of Ohio
was named chairman. Senator
Pomerene, it was said yesterday, de-
clared himself unwilling to act and
Senator Robinson of Arkansas was
made chairman in his stead. 1t is
said a report from the subcommittee
will be made within a few days.
Democratic senators suggested that
the action of the republicans in renew
ing opposition to Rublee just now indi-
Gated a purpose of coupling a fight
against him with efforts to block the
confirmation of Louis d. Brandeis'
nomination to the supreme court.
Mr.. Rublee, formerly counsel for the
Alaskan Engineering commission, was
consulted frequently by members of
congress when the trade commission
bill was being framed. His name was
presented to the senate with those of
Joseph E. Davis, Edward N. Hurley,
w. J. Harris and w. H. Parry and his
nomination was held up.

The state tax commission noting
the illegal part of the procedure
brought action to recover the amount
of the tax rebate and to put stop to
the practice.
The county commissioners when no.
tilted of the action of the state COM
mission at once drafted resolution
acknowledging the illegality of their
action and will put the property in
question on the delinquent tax list and
sell it at auction to satisfy the amount
of taxes against 1t. The resolution
will be formally adopted at a special
session of the commissioners to be
held at the courthouse this afternoon
and a copy Of it will be put in the
hands of Secretary Wallace.
The commissioners say their action
was prompted entirely by their desire
to assist the poor family whose bread
winner has been totally unable TO work
for more than three years.
County Auditor Tucker stated at
noon today that the resolution of the
commissioners would definitely set
tie the matter.

Scheduled Tax Case
Ended Without Trial

The tax rebate case which was
brought against the Cass county board
of commissioners last week by Sec
retary Geo. e. Wallace. Of the state
tax commission. and which was to
have been threshed out in district
court today has been definitely set
tied.
Secretary Wallace obtained a writ
against the county board of commits
sioners to compel them to show their
books in district court before Judge
Pollock today. The commissioners.
however, forestalled the action by
adopting resolution fully explaining
the whole matter and admitting the
illegality of their action
The case came as a result of the ac-
tion of the county commissioners in
rebating the tax on the home of
poor family of this city who have
been wards of the county for the past
three years. The family in question lis
said to be wholly and entirely unable
to pay the taxes on their home and
the commissioners thought to assist
them by rcbating the esx.

If Government Competes

swollen streams are pouring their flood
waters into the Willamette andColum-
bia rivers and threatening to bring
further damage in the wake of last
weeks sleet storm. Salem and Villa
mette valley towns report small
streams out of their banks.
Merchants in buildings near the
banks Of the Willamette in Portland
began moving their goods from base
ments. Within twenty four hoHrs the
Willamette rose 7.9 feet at Eugene.
In Portland the crest is not expected
until Thursday, when a flood stage OF
1875 feet is predicted by the weather
bureau. This would inundate the low
er floors of practically every dock in
the upper harbor and water would
seep into the Easements on Front
street.

of them in the early summer, one in

Navy Bills Passed.

F0fJ ~tHS 0o5Sus
With party lines obIiterated two pre-
paredness bills passed the house late
yesterday without a dissenting vote
Speaker Clark and Minority Leader
Mann worked side by side for the two
measures. One, to provide for adding
300 midshipmen to the entering class
at Annapolis next July, passed 173 to
nothing and the other to equip navy
yards for construction of battTeships
numbers 43 and Al passed without a
roll call.
Mr., Mann tried to put the anti-pre-
paredness advocates on record by call
ing for a division on the naval academy
bill, but there were no negative re-
sponses.
The appearance of Speaker Clark on
the floor to champion preparedness
measures aroused wide interest. Ru-
mors persisted that he would take
active charge of the fight to increase
the army and navy, Majority Leader
kitchin having Joined the opposition.
Immediate Improvement of the navy

discuss the subject of preparedness
generally soon.
Mr.. Mann reiterated his previous
pleas for a larger army and navy and
aided in maneuvering the bills to
passage.
This is not the time for crimina-
tion and recrimination," he said. 1T is
not the time to find fault with that
which has been. 1t is the time for all
to join hands for that which has come
The debate went far ahead of the
measures under consideration, extend
ing to the general subject OF military
preparedness. The unusual sight of the
speaker and the minority leader bat
tling together for administration meas
ures while the majority leader sat ST.
lently in the back of the house, at
tracted crowds to the galleries, and
members rushed to the floor from their
Offices and committee rooms.
Mr.. Clark urged haste in getting new
battleships into commission. He asked
Chairman Padgett of the naval COM
mittee why it would not be a good
plan to pattern the two battleships

ANNULMENT OF
FRANCHISE

San Francisco, Feb. S.-AnnuIment
of a twenty-fve-year franchise of the
Tacoma Railway & Power Co. was up
held by the United States circuit court
of appeals in a decision affirming the
holding of the federal district court.
The case was appealed by the Old
Colony Trust Co. OF Massach achusetts,
trustee for bondholders. The federal
courts sustained the decisions of the
state courts in revoking the franchise
because the company violated an
agreement not to sell electricity for
lighting. The city of Tacoma gave q
permit for limited lighting service in
1903 which it revoked in 1919. Upon
the comfsny'5 refusal to discontinua,
