Hold Congress Over
To Allow Protective
Laws Passed

Washington, Feb. 17-Chairman
Fordney of the house ways and
means committee left today for st.
Augustine, Fla, to seek the appro-
val of President-el Harding to a
plan to put through at the extra
session of the new congress this
spring Il second emergency tariff to
provide protection for all products
of American industry.
The measure Mr.. Fordney has in
mind, would be designed as a stop
gap until a scientific tariff law
could be framed in the light o. art
er the war conditions in the vari-
Gus countries
Mr.. Fordney was quoted as hav-
ing declared it impossible to write
the permanent tariff and obtain its
passage in time to check the usual
dumping of foreign goods in Amer
lea in anticipation of enactment of
new tariff law.
Committee members said reports
had reached them that the dump
ing already was under way.

action taken by this state on COL

Dennis in his speech before the
Marion County Realtors associa-
tion at their luncheon in the Mar
ion hotel this noon. while l favor

IL need in thsi country is more
peopIe to settle on the land.
Senator Dennis raped the pres
ent irrigation bill introduced in the
legislature by Senator Joseph say
ing that we had more irrigation
land in the state now than was be-
ing farmed. He discussed the con-
ditions in his. own part of the
state, SAYING that Marion county
was in a much better condition
financially than the section OF the
state which he represented.
That the japanese question is
forever in the minds of the real
estate men of Marion county was
evidenced by a motion made TO
nidorse the present anti-Japanese
law now being considered by the
state senate.
Advertising Of Marion county in
California papers was discussed
but no action taken by the associa-
fion. The committee on ethics re-
ported and said that they were
considering the same code OF
ethics adopted by the Portland
realty board. The matter of chang
ing the luncheon hour from noon
to six o'clock was taken under ad-
visement. A committee Will be
appointed at the next meeting to
consider also the possibility OF
sending a delegation from Marion
county to the National Real estate
convention to be held in Chicago
in July.

the states executive.
Although no record was kept as
to the number of prunes consumed
by the three officials in the course
of the contest the number was
amply sufficient to convince the
most skeptical that this dish once
of such lOwly estate has arisen by
leaps and bounds to an position
which entities it to place in the
most exclusive official circles.

Special Session
Bills Vetoed by
Olcott Repassed

The bills of the special session Of
1920 vetoed. by Governor olcott
because they contain the emerg-
ency clause when he could not see
that any emergency existed, We're
passed by the house Wednesday
over the governors veto.
One of these provided for an in
crease in the salary OF the state
highway engineer from three
thousand to five thousand dollars
a year. The other increased the
state highway engineers revolving
fund from thirty thousand to seven
thousand dollars.
When these bills are under con-
sideration Speaker Bean left the
chair and on the floor of the house
made an appeal for undivided sup
port for the general highway pro-
gram, urging members of the
house to overlook small local con-
ditions and, grasp the program as
a whole.
"The biggest program of today
i'm Oregon is the road program,
said the speaker. Oregon has ex-
pended between twenty-seven and
twenty eight million dollars on "a
road system since 1917, and We've
only commenced. urge the mem
bers of this house to give prefer
ence to road measures over the
ordinary measures in the few re-
naming days of this session, or we
will have 10 close the assembly
with much undone that we desire
to accomplish"
The vetoed measures were re-
passed by fifty-five votes.
Fair Gets More Money
Under the provisions of house

the one-twentieth of a mill tax

If the tax levy should raise more
than this maximum amount, the
surplus is to be turned over TO the
road fund of the county.

Salem high school tOssers won
their ninth straight victory last
night by defeating McMinnville
high school by a score Of 43 to II.

tage. In the second period Coach

developed motor troubles less than
25O miles east of Ell Paso. He was
flying over Reagan canyon in
Brewster county, known to the bor-
der airmen as the suicide patrol
because of the dangerous character
of the ground for landing. After
hours of maneuvering during which
he nursed the engine, giving it ev-
ery advantage of his long expert
ence and training as an aviator,
Pearson succeeded in making Il
landing almost on the banks of the
Rio Grande. near the postoffice of
Bouquillas.
The plane was brought to the
ground without injury to the avaia-
tor and with little damage to the
ship.
Four hours Pearson vainly tried
to start the motor and then walked
up and down the banks of the river
until late Thursday afternoon. He
made raft of logs and with a pole
to guide the craft, launched into
the stream in search of some sifn
of habitation.
Throughout Thursday night he
piloted the uncertain craft down
the river, but without seeing any
signs of a settlement.
All day Friday the thoroughly
exhausted aviator kept watch as
his raft floated down the river.
Then at dusk he sighted a shack on
hillside.
Guilding the craft to the bank,
Pearson Jumped to land, letting his
raft float away. But he found the
shack untenanted.
Dried beans, bacon and hard
bread were stored in a cupboard.
The half famished airman found
matches on a shelf, gathered Few
snrigs of grass and splits of mos
ouite brush and built a fire over
which he prepared a meal his
hunger apeased, he removed tile

Hvdro-EIeCtriC Bill
Indefinitely Postponed
ByUpper House oday

Hydro electric development IN
oregon as state project was put
on the shelf by the senate this
morning through indefinite post
ponement. The proposed project
was all but dead when it was drag
ged into the senatorial arena on
an adverse report by the judiciary
committee. Only the loyalty OF Sen
ator Norblad, one of the proponents
of the hydro-electric resolution and
a member of the committee, en-
abled the measure to appear in
public at all even for the brief
space of time required for the
solons to administer the last sad
rites.
The resolution sponsored by Sem
ator Josepht and Norblad and Rep
resentatives Bean and Woodson
provided for the extension of the
credit of the state upto 4 per cent
of the assessed valuation for the
development of hydro-electric pow
er.
Defending the measure Joseph
declared that in spite of the oppo-
sition evidenced toward the project
the time was not far distant when
this "Utopian dream" would be-
come a reality.
While the rest of the world was
moving ahead in the development
of cheap wore, he charged, "Old
Mossback Oregon" was simply sit
ting still and loking on, even re-
fusing to provide the ways anu
means necessary to determining
the water power possibilities OF the
state.
The judiciary committee which
had the resolution under considera-
ton had shown no mercy in the ap-
plication of the deadly knife, he
charged.
But this question is not dead,
Joseph concluded, II promise you
that this question shall find place
on the ballot through initiation and
the people shall have a chance to
vote on it,"
Senator Hare devoted his oratori-
cal abilities to ridiculing the pro-
posed project which he character
lied as a heavenly hymn rendered
by the hydro-electric quartet COM
posed of Joseph, Norblad, Bean
and Woodson," with Joseph the
only member who was sufficiently
versed in music TO carry the air.
Only Senators Joseph, Norblad'
Hume and Thomas raised their
voice in portest when the senate
rode rough shod over the resolu-
ton.
