The gunner aboard the Guayne, Bre.

others talked of it, paying tribute to the

The gun is the same as that carried
by other French ships mounted astern

Captain Rousselot told his story OF
the sinking Of the U-boat at the French

Blsto Tax Railroad
Grant Lands Stirs Senate

There was a b. q royal Saturday
afternoon in the sen. - hen H. B. No.
302 came up at 4 o'cisel1. BY arrange
ments made in the morning Representa-
tive Bean was asked to address the SEN
ate for 10 minutes in explaining the bill
and Representative Eaton was given the
same time to show up his side of the
case which was against the bill.
In the final clash Eaton spoke but
seven minutes, giving three minutes of
his time to Bean to reply. Senators
generally took part in the debate which
followed
Olson backed old man Oregon against
the world, the flesh and the devil, so
to speak, and insisted the senate had a
right to tax the lands. 81 am con
cerned," he said, tto know whether the
state of Oregon is !vassal or whether
she shall assert her sovereignty to tax
the land withing her borders.o
elf we are going to recognize the
right to take parts of our land off the
tax rolls and put them in some sort of
reserve then we might as well surrender
our franchise. -
81 believe that this declaration here
in this bill is a declaration of our SOW
ereign rights that will safeguard the
rights Of the people. The senator was
emphatic and talked so fiercely that
one felt he might declare Oregon a free
and Independent nation, but he refrain
ed, probably realizing Uncle Sam had
warlike matters enough on his hands
without his attacking him without
warning"
He, however, made a motion that the
senate 90 into committee of the whole,
which was done and there the bill was
amended by submitting the question to
the people at the next election, which
saves the country for a couple of years
at least, and at the same time passes the
bunk up to the voters.

bills which were the sole program for
the evening, went through as fast as
read, 10 passing and one being tempo
rarily laid on the table.
Senator Orton fathered the bill and
told how much would be saved the in
surance companies by the creation of
this office. The companies all wanted
it and as usual, sit would not cost the
state cent, the companies footing all
bills. -
Senator Farrell also had an affec-
tionate regard for the bill, saying it was
proposed to make Bob Stevens, present
fire marshal of Portland, the chief for
the state.
Dimick objected and SO did Eddy,
and that indicates the character of the
pyrotechnical display. They both roast

with it there was nor a peg for the adj
vocates of the bill to hang defense on,
but it went through because the Multi
nomah delegation wanted it, and what
it wants it gets. 1t was the same old
argument that as the money was paid
by those insuring and not by the IT ak
payer" that it cost nothing, but Strayer
insisted that someone paid the bills and
that those people lived in Oregon.

Irony and Sarcasm.

Irony may be either gentle or cut
ting. Sarcasm. however, is always BIT
ter or haunting. 1t may or may not
be ironical at the same time. Satire
Is usually applied to a more or less
formal holding up Of the follies or
vices of society. 1t is always prevailed
by the sntirist's personal sense of the
ridiculous. It often makes use Of both
sarcasm and irony.
