OWES
OREGON S64O6

The city of Portland owes the
state of Oregon $6406 in delin-
quent automobile license fees for
the years 1920 and 1921. A state
ment covering this claim was for
warded to the city of Portland to-
day by Secretary of State Kozer.
The statement Is based upon the
recent supreme court opinion
holding cities liable for the pay
ment of automobile license fees on
cars owned and operated by the
municipalities during the years
1920 and 1921.
other cities of the state had
maid the license ices on their mu-
nicipally owner cars but the claim
was disputed by the city OF Port
land on the ground that the state
could not tax a municipality. Suit
to determine the liability of mu1i-
cipaIities under the provisions OF
the motor vehicle act was insti-
tuted in 1921 but was not deter
mined until a few weeks ago.

Borah Attacks Bill

Attacking the provisions of the
tariff bill proposing broad author
ity for the president to increase or
decrease duties, Senator Borah, re-
publican, Idaho, declared today in
the senate that he could not give
his support to the measure on the
final vote unless these provisions
were eliminated. He said he could
not arrive at the conclusion that
they were constitutional.
Senator Jones, republican,
Washington, said his views on the
tariff were that the people of the
country were getting more and
more weary Of the proposition of
congress undertaking to fix tariff
rates.
cit is impossible, he said,
'for a committee Of congress or
congress to acquaint itself with
every business in the country, and
yet that is what it would have to
do If it acts wisely in fixing
rates.'J

Washington, Aug. 19.-The SEN
ate will end it's four months tariff
fight late today with the passage
of the administration bill by an
overwhelming majority. With the
absence of two republican senators
generally credited as in opposition,
it was expected that not to exceed
three votes would be cast against
the bill oh the majority side. The
general belief was that these
would be offset by at least that
many votes in support on the
democratic side.
Although it worked until Close
to midnight last night, the senate
was back on the job half an hour
earlier than usual today in order
to clean up amendments of In.

The presidential powers pro-

coal tar dyes and synthetic chem
icals and explosives had been so
amended that any decreases of
rates decided upon by the presi-
dent would become operative with
in fifteen days after the issuing of
a proclamation instead of sixty
days as originally planned.
The final vote on these sections
of the bill was along almost
strictly party lines, Senator Borah
being the only republican to vote
against them and Senator's Brous-
sard and Kendick the only demo-
Gratis supporting them.
The rate on straw hats was
increased from so to go per cent
upon motion of Senator Calder,
republican, New York, who said
imported straw sailors brought in
for sixty cents were sold in New
