6 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 190T. I MRU PROBLEM STILL UNSOLVED I Probably Will Be Passed Up to i Next Legislature, or I the People. ALL SCHOOLS SEEM SAFE i sia Move Now Under Way to Abolish ; Any of Them at This Ses ! ston Lawmakers i at Sea. ' SALEM, Or., Feb. 21. (Special.) At I this late hour of the session the- nor ; mil! school question Is still unsettled, j und thouph the question has occupied .the attention of the Legislature for 5 38 days. It besins to look as though all four normals will be left to con , tlnue or two years longer and the . problem passed up to the next Legis lature, or to the people in referen dum. - Both houses passed a bill ten days bro providing for the discontinuance ! of two normals at the end of the i present school year, but it was vetoed by the Governor. The House later ipai-sed appropriation bills for the Ash j land and Weston normals and these I were passed by the Senate today. The ; Senate has pasred a bill for Monmouth ' Normal and this is now on third read ing in the House. Tne House also passed a bill provid . Ing for one board of regents for all 'normals and this the Senate passed : today, after amending It by inserting .an appropriation to carry the Drain r Normal two years longer. The House refused by an overwhelming vote to i concur in this amendment, and has 'appointed a conference committee, ; composed of Vawter. Newell and Cof '. fey, to meet a like committee from the Senate to discuss a solution of the difference. Failure to make an appropriation "for Drain, will not eliminate that in . tttution, for it will continue to be a state normal, even if without an ap propriation, and will be asking for a deficiency appropriation two years hence if left to shift for itself. There is no movement now under way for the discontinuance of any of the nor 1 mals by this session of the Legisla ture. Discussion of the normal school question was confined almost entirely to the Senate today. The only action in tho House was that of refusing to concur in the Senate amendment lu behalf of Drain, , Befriends Drain Normal. Vawter's House bill creating a board of regents for control of normal schools passed the Senate this afternoon by a vote of 18 to 7. It was amended by the Sen ate so as make an appropriation of Jl'7.000 for maintenance of the Drain Nor mal School, and to require the board of repents to report to the Legislature of recommendations as to which two of the State Normal Schools should he 're tained by the state. The Senate then passed House bills ap propriating $40.0D0 for the Ashland Normal (Vawter) and $35,000 for the Weston Nor mal. (Barrett of Umatilla). Seven Sena tors voted against each of the three bills relating to the normal school question. A Senate bill appropriating $15,000 for the Monmouth school was passed by the Sen ate a few days ago, but has not yet passed the House. Consideration of the Vawter bill and other normal school measures, came up in the Senate this afternoon under special order. Malarkey presided while the board of regents' bill was considered by the House In committee of the whole. Ooshow offered as an amendment a pro vision appropriating 7.000 for the main tenance of the Central Oregon State Nor mal School at Drain for the biennial term January 1, 1007, to December 31. 190S. In presenting the amendment, Coshow ex " plained that the House had reconsidered the bill by which an appropriation for ! the Drain school had been defeated, but j since this bill could not be received from I the House at this time in the session without consent of two-thirds of the members of the Senate, he desired to have this Important provision included in , the Vawter bill. , II nines Sounds a Warning. i i President Haines said it was time the Senate was awakening to the sltu ; ation and paying some heed to the de- mands of the people for remedying the J normal school question. He said the Legislature had already placed itself j liable to charges of extravagance, and 1 he believed it would be a serious mis 1 take not to do something to relieve the burden of taxation. Otherwise, he pre- dieted, the people will take the matter i in their own hands, and in that event j some of the state's leading education , al Institutions might suffer. "The normal schools of the state." j said President Haines, later in the de i bate, "are only sustained and perpetu- atcd by the formation of legislative I combinations. But the people will not always tolerate this sort of thing." Smith of Marion reviewed the history of his t wo-normal-schools bill and its purposes and concluded by saying lie ' j was firmly opposed to singling out one ! of these schools, withhold from it any J appropriation and then boast of the legislation accomplished. He wanted ! all four normal schools for the present ! maintained on an equal basis and allow j the people to pass on the merits of I these schools and determine how many of these schools should be continued, i Hodson said he had labored for the i last two sessions for laws that would satisfactorily solve the normal school question, but legislation looking to that ' end had come to naught. He proposed to : oppose any and all bills that appropriate j money for any normal schools, i Campaign pledges, said Booth, had been fullilled by members of the Legislature in . that a bill responding to the demands of j the people, had been passed by both . houses. The responsibility of the indi vidual legislator, he said, ended there. Blow Would Not Kill. He held that to defeat the amendment offered by Ooshow and appropriating $37. ! 000 for Drain Normal School would in no 1 sense abolish that institution for the rea . son that it would continue as a state nor mal school with or without an appropri ' ation. I Bingham supplemented what his col : league had said by remarking that anti i normal school legislation did not come either from Eastern or Southern Oregon, ; but rather from West of the Willamette . River, where a number of sectarian i schools are located. He wanted all fotir schools to go before the people on their : respective merits so that the people them . selves may decide which of the four in ' Mtmions shall be maintained by the ' atate. "Refusal to appropriate money in no ! reuse abolishes the Drain school." said 2Ja.il ty. "X do not believe in starving an V Institution when we dare not kill it out right." Laycock, . Johnson, Whealdon and Hedges also spoke in a similar vein, the latter making the assertion that he did not think it was ever intended by the pres ent Legislature to eliminate any of the state normal schools. An amendment proposed by Kay and providing that the Board of Regents should limit the number of normal schools to two and select the schools that shall be continued after July 1 next, failed by a vote of 13 to 15. Kill All, Bailey Moves. Bailey then offered an amendment for the repeal of all that part of the code by which the four normal schools were created. The amendment was defeated by a vote of 12 to 14. Sichel. was successful in having adopted an amendment declaring the sense of the Senate to be that only two State Normal Schools be retained, and directing the Board of Regents to report to the Legislature at the 1909 session its recommendations as to which two of the Normal Schools should be retained and maintaaincd at the expense of tho state. The bill then went to a final vote, with the following result: Ayes Bailey. Bingham, Booth, Cald well, Coke, Cole, Coshow, Hedges, Johnson. Laughary, Iaycock. McDon ald, Mulit. Nottingham, Scholfleld. Sichel, Smith (Umatilla) and Whealdon 18. Noes Hodson, Kay, Miller (Linn), Miller (Linn and Marion), Smith (Ma rion). Wright, Haines 7.

Allows Farmers to Burn Slashings at Certain Specified Seasons of Year Without Obtaining Permits. SALEM. Or.. Feb. 21. (Special.) Bing ham's forest-Are bill was passed by the House this morning' after a hard fight over the terms of section 9. which he quires loggers to burn their slashings be fore June 1, or after October 1 of each year. The bill was amended so as to. ex clude Clatsop and Tillamook Counties from its provisions, but the House re fused all efforts of Representatives from other counties to have-their counties also excluded. McCue asked that Clatsop and Tilla mook be excluded, saying that in the damp climate of that section of the state it is a practical impossibility for the loggers to burn their slashings at the season of the year specified. Purdy of Washington then asked that his county be excluded and the request was made for their- re spective counties by Dye of Clackamas. Chase of Coos, Rackleff of Curry. Gray of Douglas and Bones of Yamhill. These subsequent requests were all voted down by overwhelming majorities and the amendment in favor of Clatsop and Tilla mook adopted by as large a majority. The arguments made by Dye and Purdy were that the law would be a hardship upon the loggers and would increase, rather than decrease, the danger of fires. The House being in committee of the whole for the consideration of the bill. Davey took the floor for the bill and against the proposed amendments. He urged that if the forests are to be pro tected from destruction an effective law must be passed for the burning of debris before it becomes so dry as to afford a place for the starting of a' fire that can not be controlled. He said that after talking with representatives of some of the largest logging Interests in the state, he found that they favored the bill for their own protection, and he would there fore support it. He opposed excluding many counties for the reason that in this manner the effectiveness of the law would be Impaired. Edwards of Lane also spoke for the bill, and was seconded by Jackson of Douglas, McCallon of Polk and Vawter of Jackson. There were 1:1 negative votes when the bill passed. The bill repeals the objectionable fea tures of the present forest-tire law. for it permits farmers to burn brush heaps in isolated places without securing permits from anyone. To burn a slashing in the timber, in clearing land or where cord wood has been cut, or where the brush heap is near a Held of grain, the owner must secure a permit from a fire warden, appointed in accordance with the pro visions of the act. The bill creates a State Forest Commis sion, composed of the Governor. Secretary of State. Forestry" Warden, Professor of Forestry at the Agricultural College, and three persons appointed by the Governor upon the recommendation of the State Lumbermen's Association. This commis sion has authority to appoint as many tire wardens as residents of the different localities may desire. The Are wardens receive no compensation from the state or county, but may be paid by private parties. As a rule the fire wardens will be either Federal employes, guarding the forest reserves, guards employed by owners of timber land, local road masters or re sponsible residents, of the different locali ties. The ordinary burning a farmer needs to do can be done under this bill without any permit whatever. WILL OKGAXIZi; XEXT MONDAY Member of Railway Commission Ar range Tor First Meeting. SALKM.

(Special.) Rep resentative Upmeyer, of Linn County, tried today to secure a reconsideration of the vote by which Beach's voting machine bill was passed, but he lacked half a dozen votes. He insisted that the bill re stricted the purchase of machines to one make, for it limits the price to $500, but Northup explained that there are several makes of voting machines that cost less than $500, and only one that costs more.

YIELDS TO FRUITGROWERS Nottingham Makes Gallant Fight Against Measure Fathered by Perkins, but Loses Way Is Opened for Carnage. SALEM. Or., Feb. 21. (Special.) Against the vigorous protest of Sena tor Nottingham, the Senate today by a vote of 18 to 11 passed House bill 3K7 (Perkins), which in effect repeals the bird protection .law of the state and permits farmers, 'horticulturists and gardeners to shoot and destroy all birds that damage their crops. "1 earnestly protest against the pas sage of this bill," declared Notting ham, when all efforts to postpone In definitely the measure or refer It back for further amendment had failed. "You are destroying Nature"s equilib rium. You arc robbing the state of its song birds and you are robbing the horticulturist and the agricultu rist of the very best friends they have." In the debate that preceded the final vote Mulit, Whealdon, Smith (Umatil la), and Hart urged the passage of the bill in the interest of the horti cultural Industry of the state partic ularly. Miller (Linn and Marion) and Nottingham actively opposed the measure on the grounds that it would permit the indiscriminate killing of all song birds and other birds. Kay and Smith (Marion) recognized that the fruit interests of the state are entitled to some protection, but they could not indorse a measure that entirely opened up the way to the wholesale destruction of birds, which, it was argued, do even more good than harm to the fruit industry. The vote by which the bill passed follows: Ayes Beach. Bingham, Booth, Bow ermau. Caldwell, Coke, Contiow, Hart. Hodsttn, Johnson. Laughary, Laycock, McDonald, Mulit. Scholfleld. Smith (Umatilla), Whealdon. Wright IS. Noes Bailey, Cole, Hedges, Kay, Malarkey, Miller (Linn). Miller (Linn and Marion). Nottingham. Sichel, Smith (Marion). Haines 11. Absent Mays. House bill 405. by Freeman, to re quire electrical workers to have li censes, was defeated in the House to day. The House has adopted a resolution authorizing the correction of the House Journals by the chief clerk, journal clerk, calendar clerk and one representative appointed by the Speaker, the work not to occupy more than 20 days. Senator Kay's bill for the purchase of the half-block east of the Capitol Grounds for $39,000 was today indefi nitely postponed by the House. The House today passed the bill appro, priating $M4t7 for the payment of the long standing claim of John Mullan and de feated the bill to appropriate $1000 for a fruit exhibit at the National Irrigation Congress at Sacramento next year. IRRIGATION' CODE BILL DEAD Much Discussed Measure Indefinite ly Postponed in the House. SALEM. Or.. Feb. 21. (Special.) With one last feeble kick the irrigation code bill died in the House this morning. Dob bin, of Union and Wallowa, the stanch and persistent friend of the measure, fought 'even after all hope was past, but his efforts could not save the bill and it was. indefinitely postponed by a vote of 31 to 28. There was no discussion of the bill upon its merits today, probably for the reason that there had been much discus sion on previous occasions and the session is drawing near its close. The bill came up on a majority report in its favor and with'a minority report against it. By' a rising vote the minor ity report was adopted and then motion was made for indefinite postponement. Dobbin a,sked a call of the House and thus secured the attendance of all mem bers except Barrett of Umatilla, and then the roll was called to finally decide the fate of the measure, which has received more attention than any other at this ses sion of the. Legislature. The vote was as follows: v For indefinite postponement Adams, Barrett (Washington), Bayer, Beveridge, Bones. Brix, Brown, Beutgen, Burns, Campbell, Chapin, Chase, Coffey, Connell, Crawford. Drioll, Karrell. Freeman, Gray, Holt, Huntley. Jackson. Jewell, Kubli, McCallon. Merryman, Moore, Sim mons. Slusher.

Newell, Northup, Perkins, Pike, Rackleff. Reynolds, Rodgers, Rothchild, Settlemier. Steen, - Upinyer, Vawter, Washburn, Speaker Davey. At the afternoon session, Knowles, of Wasco.' explained that he voted for indefi nite .postponement by mistake, his under standing 'being that he was voting for the bill. His voto would have made no dif ference in the result, however. tiEXATE PASSES , LOCKS BILL Appropriates $300,000 for Co-oper-ation With Federal Government. SALKM, Or., Feb. 21. (Special.) Th Willamette locks bill passed the Senate this morning by a vote of 22 to 7. The bill was reported without rec ommendation by the committee on ways and means. It carries an ap propriation of $300,000, contingent on the government appropriating an equal amount or as much as may be necessary to construct and maintain new locks at Willamette Falls at Ore con City. Bailey was the only Senator to talk against the bill. He objected to tying up so much of the people's money in view of the uncertainty of securing favorable legislative action on the part of Congress. Johnson, Miller (Linn), Whealdon and Hodson supported the bill as the most direct agency lor reg ulating transportation rates In West ern Oregon. The vote follows: Ayes Bingham, Booth, Bowerman Caldwell, Cole, Coshow, Hedges, Hod son, Johnson, Kay, Laughary.

Attack Concentrated on True Weight Clause Lobbyists Appear Be fore Senate Committee. SALKM, Or., Feb. 21. (Special.) After being reported favorably by the Senate committee on horticulture, the Burns pure food and full-weight bill was referred again to another com mittee, this time that on judiciary, on motion of Whealdon, minority member of the committee. Before this com mittee the bill was threshed out anew tonight by J. N. Teal, of Portland, representing the wholesalers and iob- bers of that city, and Representative tsurns and Oan Kellaher. representing the retail grocers of mat city. teal contended that the bill should conform with the National pure food law. and that if it should be enacted as passed bv the House it would Impost- a big burden on the jobbing trade of the state by requiring food pack- ges, bottles and cans to be marked with their net weight or measure, be cause these requirements nre not im posed on the trade elsewhere. Kellaher and Burns renewed their argument that customers are che.'Hed by short-weight packages and that this should be prevented by marking each can or bottle or packane. In course of the hearing a telegram was received from Mrs. A. E. Roc-key. of Portland, citing that when the Consum ers' League of Oregon, of wl'.ose pure iooa committee she Is chairman, in dorsed the Burns bill, it did so on the understanding that the bill conformed wich the National pure food law. TRY TO DEFEAT THE CLAUSE Commercial Bodies Record Against Burns' Honest Weight Bill. The board of governors of the Commer cial Club and the executive committee of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday adopted resolutions favoring only the re enactment by the Legislature of the Na tional pure-food law. The resolutions are aimed at the "honest-weight" clause add ed to the National pure-food bill by Rep resentative D. C. Burns. A strong effort is 'being made to defeat the honest-weight provision by the whole salers and certain of the large retail grocers of Portland, but there is no tight against the National pure-food law itself. The majority of the retail grocers of Portland favor the honest-weight pro vision and do not believe that it will work a hardship upon the jobbers of Portland. They say there are certain wholesalers in Portland who put up short-weight packages who will be affected if the pro vision carries, and declare that these are the ones who have stirred up the oppo sition. "We realize that there Is strong oppo sition against the honest-weight clause, but we believe it will pass notwithstand ing," said Charles B. Merrick, secretary of the Retail Grocers' Association, last night.- "ft works splendidly in North Dakota where it has been in effect four years, and why not in Oregon? The honest-weight clause is the most Important provision of all. The manufacturers, rather than lose the trade in Oregon, will mark their packages with the exact weight of the contents and the honest jobbers of Portland will not be incon venienced."

A large Eastern publication tells its readers of a number of simple and safe prescriptions that can be made at home. The following, however., for the cure of .rheumatism and kidney and bladder troubles receives the greatest praise, viz.. Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce: com pound Syrup Sarsaparilla. three . ounces. These simple vegetable ingredients can be obtained, at any good prescription pharmacy at little cost and are mixed by shaking well in a bottle. The dose for adults is a teaspoonful after each meal and .at bedtime, drink ing a full tumblerful of water after each dose. It is further stated that this- pre scription is a positive remedy for kidney trouble and lame back, weak bladder and urinary difficulties, especially of' the elderly people, and one of the best things to be used in rheumatic afflictions reliev ing the aches and pains and reducing swellings in just a short while. A well-known local druggist states that the Compound Kargon in it does the work. It is the drug which acts directly upon the elimlnative tissues of the kidneys; cleanses the spongelike organs and gives them power to sift and strain the poisonous waste matter and uric acid from the blood which is the cause of rheumatism. Cut this out and hand to some suf ferer which would certainly be an act of humanity. Every Yeman niDurettia ana iDoaia Know acontthe wondarnu MARVEL Whirling Spray TU MV (foal BrrtvM.
