(Special. )Af-I-r a hard light by Dlmlck to cut the amount down to $ ir0.00U and by Joneph to place It ut 1:100. Out), the Senate this evening panned a hill appropriating :'00.l00 for Oregon's ex hibit ut the San Francisco fair. Hoth Dlmlck and Joneph voted iiRiilnt the measure, the later declaring he wanted to dlnclulm any credit at author of the bill. Thn bill aa panned places most of the -rcHpoiiHthility lor spending the money on (iovernor West. ' Some ob jection was raised to thin by two Democratic nenatora, but no cbaiigi) was made. For the purpose oT amending tho bill, the Senate went Into a commit tee of the whole and Dlmlck offered nn amendment to cut tho amount to $:?Tj,0tM. Thin amount nlso failed and a few moments after Dlmick'a ainendmt tit wan killed the bill ap propriating $200,000 as the commit tee bal reported it passed. In the Hoiisi) the "llltieaky" went through thla afternoon by a large majority. The entire Cliickumns del egation was for It. This Is In many ways the aamo bill that was defeat id nt the hint sennion although tills one carriea no appropriation.

A resolution was offered In the House tonight to extend the session for an extra week In order to get through with the great mass of bus iness now before both houses. The general Impression seems t) be that the Senate will not attempt to enforce Its resolution to accept no House bills after midnight tonight. All the big appropriation bills re yet to come up jn the House on third reading and the Senate will have to take rare of them.

Feb. 17. (Special.) Ap propriationa aggregating $728,000 for the two big state universities were punned in the House today, with a few members opposing each one. The test of the appropriations came on Schuehel'a attempt to cut from $:I0, ouu to $:'0.000 the bill providing for Hummer school and extension work at the 1'nlveralty of Oregon. This failed and the recommendations of the Wava and .Means Committee went through without a hitch on all the rent. The bill providing for a uni form system of public accounting was panned by a bare majority, after the dtitlea of providing tbia system hud been transferred from the should ers of the Secretary of State to the Tax Commission. Schuebel also opposed this. TtJO House adopted a resolution submit ting to thu people a constitutional amendment to have county officers terms lengthened to four years. A clause prohibiting an olllcial from serving more thun eight out of twelve consecutive years was stricken out 1 before the resolution was adopted. 1 It Is predicted by those in a posi tion to know that the session will hold over an extra week. The reso lution for a lengthened session will undoubtedly be adopted by the House by a good majority, but the Senate is doubtful. Although the Senate by resolution loday confirmed Its previous declar ation that It would accept no more House bllla, this Is not taken serious ly by most of the representatives. It is also said that one reason for tho Legislators holding over an ex tra week la to take care of any ve toes the Governor might have to sub mit. An .underground current of ill feeling exists in the House aguinst "Steam Roller" methods, and It Is not considered unlikely that an "out break" will occur within a few days. Cliurges of the "Organlitation mem bera having some of their own bills reported out of the committees first have already been made on the floor of the House. An attempt to break the back bone of the "Organization" will probnbly be made on a resolu tion Biibmitted Saturday by Eaton of Kugcnu. Thla resolution, intended to facilitate handling appropriation bills was' sidetracked in the committee and considerable feeliug has been manifested by this method. ' Senator Dlmick's eight-hour bill enlne out. of the Industries Commit tee today with three reports, and was Indefinitely postponed. Although some fight was made on this bill, it was generally recognized that Bince the- passage of the ten-hour bill It would substitute Itself for the eight-hour hill. Day, Kiddle and Wood, with the majority report, recommended that the bill do not pass; Smith wanted to amend It and allow double time for overtime, and Dlmlck recommended that th bill pans as it stood. Exact ly the iame lineup as on the ten-hour bill. The bill whs postponed by a largo majority. The hardest fight of the day in the Senate occurred on the three reports of the three members of the special committee to Inrestl ante the Oregon Naval Militia. Sen ator Dlmlck, In accordance with his bill, recommended that the Naval Militia be kept but be taken out of the hands of the officers of the Ore gon National Guards. Dlmick's fight waa perhaps the hottest of all. He scored the Institution as a useless and wasteful burden on the taxpay ers, and made a bard but futile at tempt to have his report substituted for the others. The final vote killed hla report and adopted Carson s. Militia be abolished; Senator Carson completely "whitewashed" It, recom mending that It stand aa it no'w Is, and Joseph, in accordance with his bill, recommended that the Naval twenty-one to nine. Joseph then moved to Indefinitely postpone the Dlmlck bill to abolish the Naval Militia. This was done by a little larger vote, although Joseph's bill to take the Naval Militia out or the hands of the National Guard was also practically beaten by the same vote. Dlmlck said he would not re taliate by moving the Indefinite post ponement of that. LEGISLATURE AIDS BIG UNIVERSITIES WAGE FIGHT IS WON BY THE MILES AMENDMENT ALLOW8 THREE IN STEAD OF TWO HOURS OVERTIME W. A. DIMICK MAKES GREAT FIGHT Action Puta an End for at LeaatYear of Biggeet Battle for Mill Work era SALKM, Feb 18. (Special.) In spite of vigorous protests of Senator Dlmlck, the Senate today amended the ten-hour bill so that It will al low three Instead of two hours over time a day, for which time and a half Instead of double time must be paid. The bill passed the Sena'a In this condition and will go to the. House for that body to concur In the amend ment Inanmucb as the supporters of thn bill realize thla Is the best they could do there is little doubt but the House will concur. The bill will then go to the Governor for bis signature and no opposition is expected from that source. Strenuous lobby work hy the paper mill men has been done since the Schuebel ten hour bill came out of the committee last week on three re porta. At that time the report ac cepted was by Chairman Smith, of the Industries Committee recommend ing that two hours overtime be allow ed each day for which double time should he paid. Falling to have the hill adopted in Ita original form Sen ator Dlmlck at that time supported, the Smith amendment and was instru mental In having the report adopted with nineteen voles in its favor. Today the bill came up for Tiaal passage. Joseph moved to go Into committee of the whole for the pur pose of amending the bill. Diniick declared this was only an attempt on the part of the Portland man to kill the measure, and strenuously oppos ed the motion. He was overridden, however, and Joseph's motion to change from double time to time and a half, and from two to three hours was carried. It was explained that this latter change would, in the case of the Ore gon City paper mills, 'ony have the effect of allowing an eleven and a thirteen hour shift instead of two shifts of twelve hours ench, on the grounds that this was an arrangement between employer and emplovee. On final roll call seventeen senators voted In favor of the bill as amended Nlnetei n had favored It on the adop tion of the Smith report but Carson switched to the other side and Per kins was absent, leaving seventeen in favo- of tho bill. If signed by the Governor this act will take effect in May of this year. This practically marks an end for this season at least, of the ten-hour Ssht. For every session In the past eight years some bills of this sort have been before the Legislature, but In every instance have failed. The burden of the fighting this year has been In the Senate. No great opposition was of fered In the House when the Schuebel bill was passed, and the amendments In the Senate are regarded as the best compromise obtainable. The eight-hour bill of Dlmick's has been defeated in the Senate and to day's action probably marks an end of the matter for this session. Senator Dimlck was today respon slble -for the defeat of a House bill creating the Board of Public Accoun tancy and providing for certified pub lic accountants. This had been de feated In the House, reconsidered and passed. Dimlck opposed It on the grounds that it was Intended to form a monopoly in the auditing business. The expected break In the House organization came late Monday night when Eaton of Eugene flayed Olson and T'pton. members of the the organ ization, for "steam roller' work In connection with one of his resolu tlons, and was shown again this morn ing when the House. In spite of the recommendations of the Public Lands Committee, refused to Indefinitely postpone Representative Gill's bill to repeal the Thompson swamp land act. This latter act was passed over the vet of the Governor early in the session. The Governor and Gill short ly afterward introduced a bill to re peal the law. Once before the Gov ernor sent in a messase "Jollying" the-memories of the members of the bill. Yesterdny he sent In another w hen the committee report was read. Hy a vote of 29 to 28 the House re fused to postpone the bill. The mem bers stood practically the same as In the Eaton fight the night before. The entire Clackamas County delega tion hung together against the ".Ma chine." The House went Into Its nignt ses sion this evening with the intention of clearing ita own calendar before ad journment. It will probably be In session until early In the morning. Sometime during the night session the fight over the state printer Is scheduled to come np. The printing committee will report favorably on the Smith bill for a contract system of printing and report back without recommendation the Abbott bill for a revision of rates. The, printers' fiat salary law passed In 1911; which would have taken ef fect In 1915, was repealed In the House today. STATE FAIR WILL START SEPTEMBER 29 The fifty-second annual Oregon State Fair will take place the wek beginning with September 29, and ending October 4 thla year. The dates recently announced after a meeting of the Fair Commission. This year's date was set In view of the fact that the hop picking wonld be completed at that time. FOREST PUNS ARE TO BE OPPOSED OLYMPIA, Wash. (Feb. 19. The first attempt to place the Washing ton Legislature on record as oppos ed to the system of conducting the l.'nlted States national forests will be made this week when a memorial, Introduced In the Senate thla morn, ing asking the government to with draw the national forests of Lewis County, Is brought up for passage. Behind this measure are the major ity of the Representatives from the agricultural districts. The memorial, which la directed at Congress, sets forth that the forest reserves are a menace to the development of the agricultural territory of the West. Forest service officials are denounced bitterly. A bill was .Introduced In the Sen ate tbls morning creating a State Highway Department to have control of all the highway work of the state. A bill was passed by the Senate creating a liureau of Farm Develop ment to conduct experiments along scientific lines In the various coun ties. The president of the State Col lege Is made director of the bureau. TEN-HOUR BILL IS NEAR DEFEAT MEASURE CALLED BACK IN SEN ATE AND HARD FIGHT MADE AGAINST IT ACT HAD BEEN SIGNED BY WEST Dimlck and Schuebel Play Shrewd Game in Protecting Measure Farrell Loses Stub born Battle SALEM, Feb. 19. (Special) In an endeavor to whip Senator Dimlck Into line on' a bill opposed by the organization members of that body today all But called back and defeat ed the Schuebel ten-hour bllL On the final vote on the motion of Senator FarrelJ to recall the measure from the House and-"reconsider" it Dim- ick won out by 15 to 14. Rising to explaiu his vote, Dimlck declared Farrel had said that Farrell s veto dt the ten-hour bill cost him $o0,000 for the paper mills 'and they would take their business away from him. Farrell Is a Portland commission man. He has been making a hard fight to defeat the Carkin bill which would put commission houses under the Public Vtilities Commission. Sen ator Diniick declared it was an en deavor to gain his opposition to the Carkin bill that Farrell had tried to recall the icn-hour bill. This after noon Farrell moved that the vote on the ten-hour bill be reconsidered. His and one more vote would have killed it. The motion was carried by a bare majority, and Dlmick was de feated in the first round. It was then discovered that the bill had gone to the House for that body to concur in .the Senate amendment and the vote on reconsideration was declared In valid. Then Farrell moved to have the bill recalled from the House 1 This motion was not debatable, only wlen his name was called could Diniick get in a word. Then he rose and made the sensational charge that rarrell bad declared his vote on the ten-hour bill had cost him $50,000 in business from the paper mills. In the last minute, Joseph, usually an enemy of Dimlck on the floor, chang ed his vote to no and the bill was left to go its course. Governor West, however, has now- signed the bill. Getting wind of the fact that the Senate was trying to recall the measure, Schuebel took the bill to the Governor and It was sign ed even before the final vote on t-e recall had been announced. In casi the Senate vote had carried It would have been Invalid, for the two Ore gon City men, working together, had been playing a successful game oflat,"nei' ext '"cb a. case- hide and seek with the bill.
