Senator Moser appealed from
the decision of President Ritner
declaring legal question was m
yolyed because of circumstances
under which the senate was oper-
ating, there being only 20 mem-
bers, due to the death OF Senator
Hume few months ago. He con-
tended that the is favorable votes
had passed the measure.
President Ritner explained that
on the point at issue he had OBJ
tanned an opinion from Attorney
General Van Wrinkle. This was
read, the attorney general holding
that a majority vote OF the nor
nal 80 members Of the senate and
not Of the actual number OF mem
bers was necessary to pass a meas
ure.

After President Ritner OF the
state senate had ruled that a reso-
luton submitting constitutional
amendment creating state com
mission to manage the proposed
1925 Portland fair and providing
a gasoline tax to aid in financing
it had failed to pass on vote ol
Is for and IA against, the senate
oyerrode Ritner's ruling by a vote
of is to IA, and a motion that th'
resolution be transmitted to tn;

carried.
Appeal to Supreme Court.

placed before the voters OF thu
state at the coming primary cleo

court refuses to sustain the ruling
of President Ritner, Of the stat
senate, that an affirmative vote o

In explaining his decision Presi
dent Ritner said that he had beef
asked as to necessity of l6 vote
to comprise a constitutional ma
jority and that he had appealed T.
the attorney general for a decision
on the point, and that the attor
ney general had ruled In accord

Attorney General Rules.
Briefly, the opinion OF the at

Legislature Puts Thru
Governors Program
Between Tits Over
Fair Bill

Prior to adjournment last night
the legislature had virtually en-
acted the highways protective
program of Governor Olcott as
submitted to the legislature by a
special committee appointed by
him prior to the session. This pro-
gram is comprised of three bills,
one giving police regulatory
power to the highway commits
sion, another placing regulation
of motor bus and transportation
lines under the jurisdiction of the
public service commission and a
third regulating speed Of trucks
and weight of their loads. At ad-
journment last night the house
had concurred in senate amend
ments to the public service COM
mission regulatory measure and
today concurred on the senate
amendments to the weight and
speed bill.
Four Amendments
Four amendments were made
to the service commission regula-
tory bill.
One gives cities and towns the
right to pass regulatory ordl-
nances. Another exempts neigh
borhood trucks, for example that
of a farmer who hauls produce to
market for other farmers, from
application of the measue. A third
provides that the commission
may" instead of shall" request
truck operators and the fourth
removes the word surety" from
mention of bonds required and
substitutes instead the words
"good and sufficient bonds"
The three bills covering the
governors road program were
passed by the senate Friday af-
ternoon between skirmishes over
| the gasoline tax for the support OF
the 1925 fair.
House bill 81 placing CONNER
cial motor vehicles under the jur-
| isdiction of the public service com
mission passed by vote of 70 TO
| 8. Senator Moser led the attack
against this measure his vetoed
senate bill "a which was passed
earlier in the week covering in
part the same points covered Dv
the new bill.
Only Three Oppose
House bill 5, extending to the
state highway commission concur
rent police jurisdiction over tne
highways with local police OIL
cials, was passed by vote OF ~
| to 8 with Senators Smith, Strayei
and Thomas opposing the meas
ure.
Passage of house bill A provid'
ing proper protection for ROADS
and highways and more adequate
enforcement of motor vehicles
completed the road program
which the legislators were asked
to consider at the special session
along with the financing OF th'
worlds fair.

concurred in by the house specif
ically exempts from the jurisdic

ing victory than any other president had had since Monroe. He had the man- date and the opportunity to be presi- dent of the whole Union. With all his good qualities of head and heart, he was not broad enough to be more than the servant of a section, ''of those who placed me here," as he eX. pressed it.
 The new presidents appointment Of Jefferson Davis to he secretary of war identified his administration at the out set with the aggressive faction in the south. Under it's counsels Pierce not only surrendered to the ambitions of the slave power for expansion over the north and west, but also for it's expansion into foreign lands.
 Slavery was in it's last throeS ev anywhere. Great Britain had abolished it in her West Indian islands, Mexico had abolished it next door to our own slave states. Even Spain was tend ing toward the freeing of the slaves ir Cui,a when the American ministers tC Great Britain, France and Spain met in Belgium and issued the "Ostend manifesto" That shameful document proclaimed the threat that if the Span ish government should refuse to sell us Cuba we would take the island by force.
 At the same time congress at home was repeating the Missouri compro- mise and wiping out the dead line against slavery, which had been drawn a quarter of a century before- This threw open Kansas to q wild scramble between settlers who wished the new territory to be free and those who wished it to be slave.
 Then and there the Civil war began. 'BUrder ruffians," as the north called the settlers who rushed in from Mis- Souri and other slave states, and set tiers no less rough in their fighting who poured in from the free states, quickly turned that prineval into "BIeeding Kansas" Rival territorial governments were set up by the two factions, and Pierce threw the weight of the federal power on the side of those who were desperately striving to ! create another slave state.
 The whole country was drawn into | the struggle. and the Republican party ! sprang into life. At the election in the 1 middle of his term, Pierce saw the Democratic representation in the house | cut down one-half and the opposition
 sweep in with big majority.

A TEST OF FAITH

Chattanooga News.)
 We have frequent occasion to pro- test against the efforts of Japan to impose her dominion upon unwilling peoples, yet we have thus far failed to exemplify the ideals which we rec ommend to Japan. If we should with draw our sovereignty from the Philip pines, in accordance with our repeated promises, we could the more consist ently ask Japan to follow similar course toward Shantung, Manchuria and Siberia. Our plea would have a great deal more force if we could make it with clean hands. To say that the Philippines are not ready for in- dependence is merely to express an arbitrary, gratuitous opinion. It is perfectly easy to create conditions in ones own mind-that no people ever could comply with. Our delay about respecting our own pledge is a reflection on our national good faith and d constant invitation to interna tional complications in the far east
