AFTER DUNiWAY'S TERM
If Bill raised Becomes Law Change
Will Go Into Effect In January,
1911 Legislation jn the
Lower Chamber.
Mk isSffiN will P
SALEM. Or., Feb. IS. (Special.) Be
jttnnltm on the second Monday In Janu
ary, the State Printer will be placed
on a flat salary of $4000 per annum, if
the bill that was passed by the House
today becomes a law. A companion bill,
introduced by Speaker Davey at the re
quest of a committee representing the
typographical union, was unfavorably re
ported by the House in committee of
the whole and was indefinitely postponed.
It carried an appropriation of $60,000 for
the purchase of a site, erection of a
building and equipment of a printing
plant to be owned by the state.
The House standing committee on
printing, to which was referred both of
these bills, reported adversely on both
about ten das ago, and the House re
fused to accept the unfavorable report on
cither of the measures.
The bill appropriating tfiO.000 for a
printing plant was first considered. Cof
fey maintained that th'e state should
own its own printing plant, and insisted
that the State Printer be placed on a
flat FHlary. Perkins inquired if the en
actment of the two bills under consider
ation would not do the present incum
bent of the State Printer's office an in
justice, he having expended about t0,
U in the equipment of a plant.
"We should defer making this appro
priation." said Campbell. "This Legisla
ture is going to appropriate more money
than wan ever before appropriated by
any legislature in this state. We have
pot to stop granting every appropriation
that is sought. We must remember that
this is the first Legislature elected by
direct vote of the people, who have for
some time demanded relief from the bur
den of taxation. If we keep up allowing
these large and increased appropriations,
the people will demand a return to the
machine and boss system quicker than
scat."
"If we continue voting these appropria
tions," suggested Vawter, "the aggre
gate will be so large that we will be
ashamed to go home."
Newell and Kubli agreed that all un
necessary demands on the public treas
ury should be denied. Coffey advocat
ed the passage of the bill, referring to
the fact that the cost to the state for
printing last year was $S7.S57. "We have
got to make a start on this printing
question some time," he said, "and we
had better make it now. If we do not
do something to relieve the taxpayers
as to the cost of maintaining this office
they will make it an issue."
But on an aye and no i-ote. the com
mittee voted to report unfavorably the
measure and the bill was indefinitely
postponed.
Some amendments were made to House
bill 2i4. which places the State Printer
on a flat salary. The compensation
named In the original bill was 53O00 per
annum, but. on motion of Coffey, the
salary was raised to S4000. Another im
portant amendment was that by which
the date the law becomes effective was
deferred for two years, or until the sec
ond Monday in January, 1811, that being
the end of the four-year term for which
State Printer Duniway was elected.
Section 16. of the bill, which made ap
propriations of about $110,000 for the pur
chase of supplies, paying for mechanical
lielp and the salary of the State Printer,
was stricken from the bill on motion of
Campbell, who held that this legislature
should not make appropriations for any
cause for which provision can be made
by a subsequent Legislature without In
conveniencing the public service. The
Mil was then favorably reported back
to the House by Eaton of Ijtne, who was
chairman of the committee. Connell moved
that the bill be laid on the table, but the
motion had little support, and a vote
motion hal little support, and, a vote
4!' to 6, 5 absent. Those voting no were:
Heals, Belknap, Bones, Brlx, Connell.
Reynolds.
Disappointed and somewhat angered by
the slaughter of bis County Attorney
bill. Campbell made some pointed re
marks touching on legislation generally
when he arose later in the day to speak
in behalf of his bill creating a commis
sion to prepare a code of fire Insurance
laws for this state.
"This Is simply a bill"." said Campbell,
"to create a commission that is to pre
pare a code of fire Insurance laws for
this state. But it seems that any meas
ure not backed up by any special inter
est and not carrying an appropriation
stands no more show in this House than
a snowball In oh. well, in Halifax. It
is Impossible to secure the passage of a
flngle measure that Is in the real inter
est of the people. Now, it is entirely
immaterial to me whether or not you
pass this bill. If you do. it will pave
the way for some remedial legislation on
the question of fire insurance. If the
bill does not pass, then the people will
bave to put up with the conditions as
hey now exist."
The bill was unanimously passed.
Representative Newell' b bill to prevent
obstruction of justice was Indefinitely
postponed In the House this morning on
motion of Campbell, after Chase, In de
bating the subject, had said the ofense
intended to be covered by the bill Is
already provided for on the statute books
of the state. Newell explained at the
opening of the debate that the purpose
of the bill was to provide for properly
punishing county and. municipal officers
who in any way connive at and tolerate
ny violation of the criminal laws of
the state or city ordinances on the same
eubject. Speaker Davey thought the In
tent of the bill good, but he feared it
would encourage a great amount of local
Ftrife and prosecution. Farrell, Coffey
end McCallon held similar views.
Satisfied that such a bill would not
he favorably considered at this session.
Representative Newell, at the sugges
tion of other members of the Legisla
ture wno were Interested in the meas
ure, today withdrew from the further
consideration of the House his bill
proposing the creation of State Ex
eminer. By creating such an officer
friends of this legislation hoped to
solve the question of having the books
and accounts of the different state
offices and institutions examined in a
businesslike way by competent ac
countants in the interest of the state
at large. But nn appropriation of sev
eral thousand dollars would bo neces
sary to carry out the plan, and with
the heavy drain that is being made on
the state's moneybox the friends of
this bill were doubtful if they would
receive a reasonable hearing.
The only bill proposing a scalp boun
ty tax that has succeeded in passing
the critical inspection of the House on
this subject was that of Knowles,
which was passed today. This bill
amounts practically to a re-enactment
of the present statute, but since It did
not Impose any tax on the state there
was little opposition to the measure,
which received practically the unani
mous vote of the House. The bill
merely empowers the County Courts
of the respective counties to levy a tax
of from 1-13 of a mill to one mill as
a fund to pay a bounty on coyotes'
scalps. The levying of the tax is en
tirely discretionary with the County
Courts.
Little alarm may be felt by the im
portant individual at the country cross
roads with a notarial seal that the
prerogatives he now enjoys are to be
in any manner curtailed at this session
of the Legislature, for the sentiment
of the House is decidedly with the
rural notary public. Northup's bill,
proposing- to ' increase to' $10 the fee
for a notary certificate, extending the
term of appointment from two to four
years and increasing the bond re
quired from $500 to $2000. was .Indefin
itely postponed in the House this aft
ernoon. The hill was seriously ob
jected to for the reason that if en
acted It would necessarily freeze out
the notaries public throughout he in
terior of every county, who are a great
convenience In their respective locali
ties. But the fees that are received
by the average country notary would
not amount to enough to pay the fee
imposed by the bill.
Higher salaries for physicians of the
State Insane Asylum are carried in a
bill of Representative Reynolds (334),
passed this morning against but two
negative votes, those of Farrell and
Simmons. The bill was defeated on
passage last Saturday and on motion
of Davey today was reconsidered and
passed. The bill fixes the salaries as
follows: Superintendent, $3000 per
annum; first assistant physician, $2500;
second assistant, $2000; third assistant,
$15.10; fourth nssistant and additional
assistants, $1200; besides "furnished
room, household furniture, provisions,
fuel and light and supplies."
For taxation of migratory livestock
on lines like those in an act of the last
Legislature, declared void by the
courts, a bill ha3 passed the House.
The bill was drafted by C. B. Aitchison,
secretary of the late State Tax Com
mission, and was introduced by Rep
resentative Dobbin, of Wallowa.
An appropriation bill for betterments
at the different state Institutions, ag
gregating $161,750, was passed by the
House today. It included the follow
ing items. Penitentiary, $7503: Asylum,
$136,500: Reform School, $6000; Blind
School, $8250; Deaf Mute School, $3500.
An appropriation of $20,000, for sal
mon hatcheries in streams south of the
Columbia River, failed to pass the
House by a vote of 27 ayes to 16 noes.
Chase, of Coos, who introduced- the
bill, changed bis vote to no, in order
later to move for reconsideration.
The House today passed a bill by
Representative Burns requiring the
State Food and Dairy Commissioner
to publish a monthly bulletin.
A bill to ftive County Clerks 13 per
cent of hunters' license fees was lost
in the House this afternoon. The bill
was introduced by Representative Bev
eridge, of Multnomah.
The House tonight reconsidered the vote
by which H. B. 331. introduced by Chase,
was defeated this afternoon and passed
the measure with only seven voting no.
The bill appropriates $20,000 for aid of
coast fish hatcheries.
Representative Brown's bill, which seeks
to terminate the practice by wildcat min
ing and other corporations of publishing
false and exaggerated statements as to
their financial condition, passed the House
tonight with only a few opposing votes.
The hill is intended for the protection of
innocent Investors from operation of these
unreliable companies.
ASTORIA SENDS LOBBYISTS

COLUMBIA BILL.
Multnomah Members Working to
Preserve Friends for Measure.
Governor Will Appoint.
SALEM. Or.. Feb. 18. (Special.) Fight
ing tooth and nail to beat the Port of
Columbia bill in the Senate, a lobby of
Astorians is in the capital. They have
organized a powerful opposition in that
body, and the Multnomah members feel
the need of working carefully so as to
avoid stirring up antagonism against the
measure. With this end in view the
Multnomah delegation today resolved to
allow the Governor to appoint the Port
of Columbia Commission. This was de
cided, at a meeting of the delegation at
1 P. M., which had been called for the
purpose of selecting the three Multnomah
members of the Commission. The coun
sel of Senator Malarkey prevailed, how
ever, that the Governor make the selec
tions. The bill has passed the House and is
now to be disposed of in the Senate. A
strong Astoria lobby Is working against
passage in that body, containing Herman
Wise. Mayor of that city, and C. W.
Carnahan, F. J. Taylor. C. G. Palmberg,
Samuel Elmore, C. J. Trenchard. R. M.
Leathers. J. T. Ross. F. J. Carney, J.
K. Campbell and Dan Welch. These men
are aiding Senator Scholfield of Clatsop
County, who is an influential member of
the Senate.
Several prominent Portlanders are in
the capital working for the bill, among
them E. W. Wright. C. F. Swigert, S. B.
Llnthlcum and W. B. Ayer.
At the meeting today of the Multnomah
lawmakers a number of men were named
for places on the Commission Captain

BRANDISH PRUNING KNIFE
XAKROW ESCAPE FOR SEATTLE
EXPOSITION BILL.
House Members Attempt to Cut
Down $100,000 Appropriation.
Also Attack Emergency Clause.
SALEM, Or.. Feb. 18. (Special.)
Attachment of an emergency clause
and the disposition of the House to
cut down all appropriations came near
ly causing the defeat of Representative
Settlemler's bill, appropriating $100,003
for an Oregon exhibit' at the Alaska
Yukon Exposition in the House this
morning. The bill was passed by 'a.
vote of 35 to 19, six absent, after an
effort had been made to reduce the
amount of the appropriation first to
$35,000 and then to $50,000.
Jackson sought to have the amount
appropriated reduced to $35,030, the
Legislature of 1909 to make any fur
ther appropriations that might be nec
essary to the success of the exhibit.
Farrell did not think $35,000 would be
adequate and moved to amend by fix
ing the amount at $50,000. Campbell
said that the state should make at this
time such an appropriation as was in
tended to be made for the reason that
the fund with which the commission
was to be supplied must be made avail
able at once, for the exhibit must nec
essarily be collected during the year
preceding the exposition, or before the
next Legislature was convened. Speaker
Davey, Burns, Coffey and Settlemier
spoke in favor of the appropriation of
$100,000. Both amendments were bad
ly defeated.
Jackson then protested against the
bill as it was proposed to be passed,
objecting particularly to the emergency
clause. He insisted that a measure
carrying so large an appropriation
should be left to the decision of the
electors of the state.
During the vote on the bill Jackson
and Farrell explained their position in
voting no by contending that the
amount appropriated was greater than
the state should make at this time.
Vawter also thought the amount was
larger than the people In his section
of the state would approve. Brown,
Jones, of Clackamas, and Rackleff ex
plained that they felt obliged to vote
against the bill for the reason that it
carried an emergency clause. After the
roll had been called and before the
vote was announced, Jewell, Purdy and
TJpmeyer changed their votes from aye
to no. The vote was:
Ayes Adams, Bayer. Belknap. Beut
gen, Beveridge. Bones, Brix. Burns,

FAR BELL'S WIRE BILL PASSED
House First Kills Jackson's Measure
of Similar Nature.
SALEM. Or.. Feb. 18. (Special.)
The House today passed Farrell's bill,
regulating; the stringing of electric,
telegraph and telephone wires over
railroad tracks and right of way, and
indefinitely postponed a bill by jack
son, which purported to cover the same
subject. The Jackson bill was se
riously objected to for the reason that
it did not require that the stringing
of these wires across the railroad
rights of way and over the county
highways should be done under the di
rection of the County Court. Camp
bell and Newell called the attention
of the House to the effect that under
the provisions of the Jackson bill such
wires could be almost Indiscriminately
strung throughout ' any county at the
pleasure of the persons so stringing
the wires. They further objected to
the bill becauso it proposed to convey
these privileges as a perpetual fran
chise on persons and corporations op
erating under the provisions of the
bill.
Brown said the Jackson bill was the
only measure of its kind before the
Legislature that was generally de
manded by the farmers, but notwith
standing this announcement the House
supported the motion to Indefinitely
postpone for the reason that they did
not like the perpetual franchise fea
ture. The Farrell bill was then taken up
and passed. This measure is expressly
for the protection of trainmen and
provides that the stringing of all wires
over railroad tracks shall only be done
at such places and in such manner as
shall be authorized by the County Court
of the county wherein such crossing
with wire is proposed. Application for
stretching- such wires must be made by
the person or corporation desiring to
so stretch wires of the County Court
at least ten days before the meeting
of the court. AH wires, other than
trolley wires, which shall be 23 feet
from the top of the rail, shall be 25
feet high.
Immediately following the passage
of the bill it la made the duty of the
County Court to Investigate all wiring
within each county and cause all wires
to be suspended to conform to the pro
visions of the bill, and at the expenso
of the person or company owning the
wires.
