SALEM. Or.. Jan. 30.-(SpecJai.) The House did its share toward creating a State Tax Commission this afternoon and passed Capron's bill by a vote of S6 to 19. Kay pretest against It bcins in vain. An appropriation of $7000 Ls to cover the cxpcne ef the Commissioners, who may appoint a clerk. The Governor has the appointment of the three Commissioners, who shall meet for the first time on the second Monday In June. The purpose of the Commis sion ls to gather ail Information on rates of taxation and assessment of both tangi ble and Intangible property. New taxa tion laws shall be compiled and presented to the next session of tbe Legislature. The Commissioners are to have the power to demand Information from various aourccs. and any one giving false Infor mation may be deemed guilty of a mis demeanor. Bach of the Commissioners ls to receive $1000 f6r his services. "It requires no lawyer to learn that our tax laws arc totally inadequate said Capron ic urging the passage of the meas ure. "There xls a vast amount that now pays no taxes at all." "Every session tslks assessment laws." retorted Ksy, "That appropriation of $7000 does not appear necessary. One or ta-o clerks could do the work in a few weeks." Ltnthleum warmly indorsed the bill, but Cornett of Linn moved for postponement. The motion waa lost, the vote being: Aye Bailey. Blnsnaai.

Senator Nottingham Would Not Change Name of Reform School. SALEM. Or.. Jan. 30. (Special.) By an almost unanimous vote tho Senate today Indefinitely postponed Notting ham's bill to change the name of the State Reform School to State School for Boys. Nottingham made the motion which killed his bill, because he bad become convinced that it was unwise. There was but a short debate on the motion. Senator Whealdon opposed indefinite postponement on the ground that the bill is a pood measure, because the present name of the Institution brands the boys a criminals. Senator Nottingham, father of the bill, said that he was as first in favor of the plan of changing the name, but became convinced that It is not advis able for two reasons; That If the name were changed it would soon be known as a reform school under its new name, and that the change would lead to con fusion because the school Is referred to In all laws as the reform school. Senator Haines expressed his-disapproval of the bill because to change the name to State School for Boys would place the reform school-graduates on the same level as graduates from the State University or Agricul tural College as far as conduct Is con cerned. He believes that since the In stitution is intended as a place of pun ishment it should "not be made a place such tha boys would afterwards be able to say with pride that they had received their education there. RESOLUTION ON FREIGHT RATES Senator Malarkey Would Support the President in His Efforts. SALEM, Or.. Jan. 30.. (SpeclaL)-n behalf of legislation for tho protection of the people, against Illegal encroach ments of aggregations of capital and for the prevention of discrimination in freight rates, Senator Malarkey today introduced the following resolution, which was referred to the committee on resolutions: Whereas. The Republican party. In National convention assembled, at Chicago, June !d, 1004. declared in Its National, platform that It waa la favor of paining lawa "which were Intended for tbe protection of the- public aralnst tbe unjust discrimination or the ille gal encroachment of vast aggregations of capital, and laws Insuring reasonable pub licity aa to the operations of great corpora tions, and providing additional remedies for the prevention of discrimination In freight rates." Wherean. Prerfdcnt Roosevelt declared la a i perch at Charleston, S. C. April 9. 1002, "that, above all. the administration of gov eminent, the enforcement of tbe laws, must be' fair and honrrt.' not cither in the Interest of the poor man or the interest of the rich man. They are simply to be administered. Justly In the Interest of Justice to each man. be he rich or be he poor giving immunity to no violation. n"hxlet-rfr" form the violation may assume. Euch is the obligation which every public servant takes, and to It he mut be true, under penalty of forfeiting the respect both of himself and of his fellows." Wherea. The American people, believing In the declarations of the Republican National platform of 1004. and In the clear head, bravo heart and earnest patriotism, and high Ideals of public duty and public service held by President Kooeev-lt, who has shown himself ready for every emergency, and has met new and vital questions with ability and with suc ceta Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of Oregon, That the members of the National Congress, representing the State of Oregon therein, be requested to support tbe measures recommended by President Roose velt In his recent menage to Oratress relating to theh regulating of freight rais on the railroad? of the United States, as eiabodled in the Hepburn hill, now before thr National Congress. DUTY IS TO CATCH ERRORS; Joint Committee Provided in Rules Has,Eeen Lost Sight Of. SALEM. Or.. Jan. 30. (Special.) President Kuykcndall today dis covered in the joint rules a pro vision for a joint committee that has not been appointed within the last six or eight sessions. Tbo duty of tho committee provided for ls to ex amine all bills after they are enrolled and see that they are correct. The need for such a committee was illustrated today, when, an engrossed bill was read the third time and Sen ator Band detected something wrong. Investigation showed that some clerk thought he could improve upon the bill and divided one section Into two, be sides changing the punctuation. Tho bill was rerefcrrcd. It would be the duty of the standing joint committee to watch for such er rors as this in enrolled hills. Presi dent Kuvkendall may take up with. Speaker .Mills the matter of appointing this committee. Senator SIchel introduced a bill to day for a law regulating automobiles. It requires every owner of an automo bile to pay a $3 license fee and display a number on his machine.' Modern ap pliances for safety must be used and care must be taken in meeting or pass ing teams. A speed limit of one mile In five minutes lri thickly settled districts and one, mile in two and one-half min utes in thinly settled districts is pro vided. The Senate today defeated Miller's Senate bill 3. which proposed to change the scnooi fund apportionment law so as to require that each district should be siren $100 instead of $50 before the per capita apportionment Is made. Senator Miller explained that tho hill was Intended to favor the small coun ty districts, but the Senate would not agree with his view and sustained tbe adverse report of the committee on education. H00DR1VERAC0UNTYSEAT CASCADE COUNTY BILL PASSES THE HOUSE. Will Be in Judicial District With Multnomah and Joint Legisla tive District With Wasco. SALEM. Or., Jan. 30. (Spccial.)-Cas- cade County, with Its courthouse at Hood River, has fair prospects of joining the Eastern Oregon sisterhood of counties. The House today unanimously passed a bill to create the county. Strong opposition will develop, however. In the Senate, where the Wasco people have centered their forces. They say that the political organization of Multnomah and the state Li working against them in order to diminish the political influence of W asco County, out of which Cascade is to be formed and that the same elements arc now working for the creation of Cascade which defeated Stockman or Jefferson County. The Wasco people gave up the fight for Stockman largely to head off Cascade. The bill for Cascade was introduced in the House by Jayne, of Hood Blver, who detailed the claims of the people of the proposed county for recognition. The pop ulation, ne said, was more than ooOO, the number of school children 452. the assessed -valuation of its property more than $1,000,000 and Its area In square miles 57S. The true theory of local self-government. he said, was the creation of as small counties as was consistent with the abil ity of their residents to maintain county government. Capron. of Multnomah, and Kuney, of Sherman, championed the cause of the new county and the bill then passed. The temporary and probably permanent county seat is to be Hood River. The county Is to be in the Fourth Judicial Ulstrict. with Multnomah, and in a Joint Legislative district with Wasco. Salaries of officers are to be: Judge. $300 a year; Clerk, $1200; Sheriff. $1200; Treasurer. 30; School Superintendent, $300, and Assessor, $1 a day. The county scat Is to be chosen In Juno of next year by electors of the county. An appropriation of $700") was passed by the House today for the purchase of a plant to test stone and timber at the State University. The bill was Introduced in the Senate by Booth. The only negative voice came from Jaggar, of Clackamas. The appropriation was advocated by Ed wards, of Lane; Vawtcr. of Jackson, and Binsrham, of Lane, who assured the House that the National Government would pro vide a supervising engineer for operating me plant, ncy explained that the pur pose of the plant Ls to demonstrate merit of Oregon stone aad timber by means of tne Government stamp, which would be a badge of excellence wherever It went and create demand for Oregon supplies. Senator Smith's bill to appropriate $1500 annually for the third Eastern Oregon District fair passed the House this after noon. The district comprises Morrow and Umatilla counties. Tbe Governor is to appoint three commissioners for the dis trict. Smith of Baker has put in another House bill so as to amend the Eddy tax law to exempt not only mining companies from the annual license, but irrigation companies as welL Only $10 organization fee is to be required. Smith's other bill exempting unprofitable mining companies from the incorporation tax is still in the hands of tbe mining committee of the House. To require that jails hereafter built shall be fireproof, the House passed a bill of Representative Dobbin this morning- by 4S ayes against- 9 noes. Tho noes were Burns, of Coos; Cooper. Fawk, Hudson, Huntley, Jagger, Laws, Settlemicr, vawtcr. The State Librarian is to receive an annual flat salary of $1300, by a bill vhich has passed both houses, and Is to be appointed by the Supreme Court. Under the present law he receives $1000 and about $300 in fees, and Is chosen by the Legislature. GUESTS OF QREGOH Employes of State Institutions Housed and Fed. GOVERNOR GIVES REASONS Desires That the Penitentiary at Sal-sm May Not Alone Be the Subject of the Proposed Leg islative Investigation. SALEM-." dr.. Jan. 30.-(SpcclaL)-Since the Legislature is about to begin the In vestigation of the subject of certain state employes at the penitentiary securing homes and provisions for themselves nd families at the expense of the state. Gov ernor' Chamberlain wants the Investiga tion extended to the other Institutions, and for that purpose addressed a special message to the Legislature today. The Governor aava that the nrarHre tn which objection has been made Is not con fined to the prison, but ls followed at the Insane Asylum. Reform School, Mute School and Blind School. Tho message was referred to the committee on resolu tions In each House. It Is as follows: To the Honorable Senate and House of Rep- resentatives-Gaottomen: Charges have baen made agallit the SupWiniem..end Warden of the Penitentiary. anoaT resolution- has been Introduced in the Senate calling for an In vestigation of the management of the affairs of . this Institution. The gravamen of the charge is that a portion of the betterment fund has been expended Illegally In purchas ing furniture for the quarters occupied by the Superintendent of the Penitentiary and the Warden; that these officer and their families are supported out of the commissary of the state, and each 6f them Fermlt convlcta to do menial; labor In their respective household. This Is the only institution at Salem that Is under the exclusive control of the Governor, and I deam'lt but Juit to say to ycu that, upon assuming the dutiebf the executive, I found that hat little. If any, of the furniture In use In the quarters occupied by the Suoer- intendent and the Warden was fit to be fur ther uied, and under my direction new fur niture has een purchased out of the better ment fund, and It is being used by the officers referred fb. though the property all belong tt the state. It has always been my opinion that the ne cessities of the -state require that these offi cers with their families and all of the guards and employes of the penitentiary should live at the prison, and what Is being done in this respect Is done under my direction. There la no express statute upon this subject, but aa the head of thl Institution, I have adopted such rules for Its regulation and management as would procure for the state the beat eenice. The Governor. In addition to having absolute control of the penitentiary, la a member of the board of trustee of the Oregon State Insane Asylum, the Reform School, the Deaf Mute School and the Blind School. In the case of the Oregon State Insane Asy lum, section 3611 of Bellinger and Cotton's Cede, after fixing the salary of the Superln- tendent and the first and second assistant physicians, ' provide that each of them shall be furnished room, household furniture, pro visions, fuel and light at and from the sup plies of the asylum, aad requires that the Superintendent shall reside at the asylum. There Is no express provision of law which allow any of theae officers to have their fam ilies reside with them at the asylum, or to support them from the commissary department of the state, and there is no statute which authorizes the third and fourth assistant phy sician either to reside at the asylum jor to have their families reside there with them, or that authorize their support from the com missary of the state. Yet. In the government of this Institution, the board of trustees has deemed It best to require all of these officers to reside at the asylum with their families, and to be supported at the expense of the state. Further than that, these officers and their families and employes are permitted to have three waitresses to wait on the table and one assistant cook, all paid by the state, though there Is no express statute for, this. The same rule prevails with reference to the Superintendent of the Deaf Mute School, the Blind. School and the Reform School and their families, because the board of trustees of each of these Institutions ha deemed It for the best interest of the state to require them to reside at these several Institutions and be supported at the expense of the state. In the case of the Reform School the Superintendent I permitted to and doea require the boys there confined to watt on the table and do any other domestic service required. There is no cxprees statute which requires the guards and employes at the prison, the attendants and employes at the asylum and the teachers and employe at the Blind School, the Deaf Mute School and the Reform fchool to lodge or be boarded at these several Insti tutions, but the Governor, as head of the Pen itentiary, and the several boards which have the other lnstlttulons In charge have required these guards, attendants, teacher and em ployes to lodge and board at tbe several insti tutions, so that their services could be called Into requisition at any- time. The ealarles of most of these employes have been placed at a low figure because It was contemplated that tber, would be permitted in most caes to lodge at the several istitutlons and be supported at the expense of the state. The practice la one which has been followed for many years, and experience has proven that In no other way can the etate get the moot efficient service. If this practice meets the disapproval of the Legislature, I think It but just to the prceent officers of the state, as well as to those who may come after them. 9aBBBBBBBBBBBBBSt M (6 They act directly on the liver.

CLOSED FIRE SEASON CUT OUT. Time Limit for Brush-Burninj Modi y fled in Cemmittea. SALEM. Or.. Jan. 30. (SpeciaL) Oppo nents of the forest fire bill hare succeeded in having the closed season against tha clearing and brush fires stricken out by the House committee on public land and the bill will be recommended- for passers tomorrow in that shape. Such Is the termination of a big fight which has been waged for two weeks. As the bill was first drawn all brush fires were to have Seen prohibited be tween August 1 and September 13. Clat sop and Tillamook first secured exemption from the closed season, then the entire coast west of 'the Coast Hange and other counties demanded the pame privilege. Another provision fought bitterly was that on the permit season, during which no fires could be set out without permit from tha County Clerk which should name the day on which the fire was to be started. The pacifying amendment of fered by the committee ls that permits shall designate three days during which fires may be started instead of one. The provisions as to the appointment Of fire rangers with police powers by County Courts are unchanged. The bill will doubtless pass in its present shape with little opposition. The permit season U; to last from June 1 to October L TO END THE RANGE WARS. House Passes Bill Providing far Se cret Service Agents. SALEM, Or., Jan. 501 (SpeclaL) An ap propriation of $10,000 is carried' in a. bill unanimously passed by the House today for the detection of crime and conviction of criminals and lawbreakers by secret service agents. The money is to be paid out by the Governor, and salaries are to be such as he may deem reasonable. Tbe appropriation ls Intended to aid the Governor in apprehending perpetrators of such depredations as have been commit ted by cattle-owners and sbeepowners in Eastern and Southern Oregon, and is to be used when regular county and state authorities fail in apprehending- lawbreak ers. Tbe bill was Introduced by Repre sentative Steiner, of Lake, and carried an emergency clause making it effective at once. . No opposition to the measure has devel oped in the Senate, and. It will undoubt edly be approved by the' Governor, inas much as he recommended such an appro priation in his biennial message. FISHING IN ROGUE RIVER.

Hume on Rogue River by repealing the act conferrins exclu sive riparian privileges in Curry Coun ty will be reported by the committee on fisheries without recommendation tomorrow. The bill ls very likely to pass and if it should do so the com mittee will probably introduce a bill conferring: on riparian owners exclu sive privileges against set gear on the Rogue.- The effect of such a bill would be to allow flshlnsr by drift nets en the Rogue River Independent of riparian ownership,, the same as that bf a bill that passed the House last week for the Columbia River.
