8 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1909. ; SENATE HAS SHARP i TILT OVER VETOES : Salary Grab Bills Lost After : Debate Punctuated With Personalities. HART JABS AT ABRAHAM : rarrlsli's Request to Increase Pay 1 of Grant County's Democratic Sheriff Falls to Override Governor's Veto. (Continued Prom First Paire.) changed there vu a general discussion of the first bill which came up on the , Governor's veto. S. B. 17, by Parrish, to Increase the salary of the Bherlfl of . Grant County. ', ' Senator Bmlth. of Marlon, called upon Senator Parrish for a statement re gardlng; the bill. Parrish responded that . the .present Sheriff of Grant County Is tone of the most popular men In the county, that he Is a good Democrat and )i supporter of Governor Chamberlain, ' that this bill has been discussed In the papers of Grant County and he has ', heard of no opposition anywhere. Senator Norton said that he feels sure the newspapers are mistaken in calling these bills salary grabs, But mat ne a-.s- approves 'of the bills because they are an imposition upon the time of the Lg 'lslature. He said he will hereafter vote aKalnst all such bills because he thinks I the Legislature should relieve Itself of the nuisance by providing a general sys tem of paying county officers. i Senator Coffey also thought the news papers, have taken a wrong view and. !o far as he Is concerned, he said, he will vote according to the wishes of the Irepreaentatives from the county affected -and let them take the responsibility. He I also said that if the people do not like the salary bills they can demand the 'referendum upon them. I Senator Miller, of Linn and Lane, ex pressed his high regard for each mem Iber of the Senate and said that when any member asks that a local bill be IsupDOTted. he will vote for It upon that Senator's assurance that it Is proper. '.He also expressed the view that the jcovernor Is going outside his proper sphere when he undertakes to veto local Jsalary measures. "I do hot say he la exceeding his authority, but I do say Jthat his vetoes are not Justified." Kay BInmes Office-holders. ! Senator Kay declared that there Is rot a county In the state where the .'taxpayers are petitioning their repre sentatives In the Legislature to raise the salaries of county officers. "It Is liny experience that when men come here asking that the salaries of county '-officers be inrreased it Is because they ave been asked to do so by the offi cers directly interested. It Is absurd to defend the passage of these bills upon the argument that If the people do not like them they can demand the referendum. Kveryone knows that It would take a lot of trouble and cost a lot of money to demand the referendum tipon Lll the salary bills we have passed. It Is not the people, but the of ficeholders who are asking that the salary bills be passed." " Senator Smith, of Marlon, expressed .ts confidence In Senator Parrish and Jeclared his intention to vote upon local bills according to the wishes of the representative from the county af fected. Senator SInnott said that when this bill first came before the Senate, he supported It upon the assurance that a showing would be made to the Gov ernor that would convince him that the bill was meritorious. This had not been done and he would not only vote gainst this bill, but would vote to sustain the Governor's veto upon all other bills of the kind that may come up. "I believe that the Governor made a good and wise suggestion when he recommended that the Legislature place the power to fix county salaries In the hands of the county courts. While I shall vote against all the rest of the salary bills I will support any bill placing the power to tlx country salaries in the county courts." Closing the discussion. Abramah asked as a personal privilege that he be permit ted to make an explanation in reply to Senator Hart's statement that he had not Introduced any county salary bills. "The record shows, Mr. President, that he Introduced the bill requiring Baker County to pay JldOO a year additional sal ary to the Circuit Judge In the Eighth Judicial District. Now. if I have done him an Injustice, I humbly beg his par don." There was Intense excitement as the roll was called on the question whether Senate Bill 27 should pass, notwithstand ing the veto of the Governor. The vote was: Ayes Barrett. Beach, Bingham. Cald well. Chase. Coffey. Cole, Hart. Hedges. Johnson. Merryman. Miller of Linn and I.ane. Mulit, Nottingham. Parrish, Schol fleld. Smith of Marion, Wood, President Bowerman 19. Noes Abraham, Albee, Bailey, Kay. Kellaher, Miller- of Linn. Norton. Oliver, Selling. Slnnot, Smith of Umatilla 11. A two-thirds majority being necessary to pass a vote over the Governor's veto, the bill failed to pass. Senate Bill IS, by Parrish. to Increase the salary of the Treasurer of Grant County, was defeated by exactly the same vote. Brooke's Bill Also Slain. House Bill S3. Brooke, to permit the Sheriffs of Harney and Malheur to re tain certain fees, waa defeated by a larger vote, several Senators voting against it because It was an effort to return to the old fee system. House Bill 42. by Jones and Hawley. of Polk, to raise the salary of the school superintendent of Polk County, passed with !0 affirmative votes, the exact num ber required. Kay. who voted against the other bills, explained that he would vote In the affirmative because he regarded this a meritorious measure. Senator Bailey also voted "Aye" and Hedges voted "No." Otherwise the vote was the same as on ' 8. B. TI and 28. ' Apparently through the remainder of the session the Senate will line up as it did today on the two Senate bills, except where there is shown some special reason why the bills should be passed over the Governor's veto. CAMERON'S MEN TO GET MORE Bill for General Increase Passes in House. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Feb. 4. ltpecial.) Another of the Multnomah ounty salary-raising " bills passed the liouse this morning. It was that affect ir.g the salaries of the deputies In Dls l:n l Attorney Cameron's office. V. cen the bill came before the House today, Brandon and Munkers of Linn objected for a time to the consideration of the bill, for the reason that the meas ure under consideration was a substitute for the bill originally introduced and for that reason they sought to have the bill held up until It could be printed. Mahone and Clemens finally succeeded In con vincing the two Democratic members that the bill related entirely to Multno mah County officials. The bill provides the following salaries In that office: Chief Deputy, J2100: three other deputies at I180O. J1500 and 11300. In the final vote on the bill, three voted against it as follows: Brandon, Jack son and Speaker McArthur. The bill raises the pay of the chief deputy from tlSoO and allows no additional deputies. SALARY GRADE BILL OFFERED Buchanan Would Take Whole Mat ter Off Legislature's Hands. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Feb. 4. (Spe cial.) Salary-Increasing bills will have no place In the Oregon Legislature If the bill Introduced In the House this afternoon by Representative Buchanan becomes a law. It classifies the counties of the state according to population and prescribes a scale of salaries to be paid the various officers according to that classification. - The bill creates 19 classes of . public officials based on population of from MOO and under to 75,000 or over. The salary of County Judge, under the bill, ranges from 400 to 13000; Sheriff from ffiOO to $4500; Clerk, H00 to 13000; Recorder, 1300 to J2500; Treasurer, J300 to J3000; As sessor, from C a day to $2500; School Su perintendent, 1300 to $3000. County Com missioners In all classes are allowed $5 per diem and their actual expenses, and Surveyors are to receive $6 per diem when actually engaged In their work. With the consent of the County Court, the various county officers under the provisions of the bill are authorized to appoint such deputies as may be deemed necessary, but the officer making such appointments shall be held responsible under his official bond for the acts of all such deputies. The bill provides that the salaries pre scribed by classifications' shall be full compensation for all services of every kind and description rendered by the officer to the county. It is provided fur ther that when the salaries provided are, in the Judgment of the County Court, "Inadequate for the services required of the officers, then the said County Court may allow such officers a deputy, or such number of deputies as, In their Judgment, may be required to do the business of such office in connection with the principal for such time as may be necessary and at such a salary as they may designate; provided that tho County Court shall pay the actual travel ing expenses of the Sheriff while on official duties and to be audited by the said County Court." Section 25 of the bill provides that Its provisions shall not affect the incumbents of the various county offices in the state during the term for which they were elected. "The purpose of the bill," said Mr. Buchanan today, "is to take out of the hands of the Legislature the further con sideration of bills carrying increased salaries for different county officials. I find that such bills at this session will occupy at least one-fourth of the time of the Legislature time that should be given to the consideration of far more important legislation affecting the real Interests of the state. "On an average, the salary scale pro vided in my bill equals that paid county officers throughout the state at the pres ent time. Once the law is enacted there will be no need for further disturbing the lawmakers with these measures of a purely local nature. The bill is so drafted that the salaries of "the officers of each county In the state will be in creased in the same proportion as the population of the county Increases and that county passes from one classification to another. The counties are to be clas sified according to the official figures of the Federal census of 1910 and thereafter by the census that shall be taken every five years by the County Assessor of the different counties. "The state of Washington has such a law In force and It apparently Is giving satisfaction. At any rate the Legisla ture now In session at Olympla Is not handicapped with bills for Increased salaries affecting practically every county In that state. I really think my bill is In the Interest of the state, and it cer tainly should meet with the Indorsement of the Legislature and be enacted."

ARGCE OS IRTCTGATIOX BIUL Breach Develops Between Power Companies and Commission. . STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Feb. . (Special.) The Senate Irrigation Com mittee held an extended session to night and listened to arguments upon the Conservation Commission s Irriga tion bill, S. B. 77. The discussions de veloped very little not already brought out. but It was found that the power Interests want the express recognition of rights which the committee is rot sure exist. The committee desires to Insert a clause protecting every vested water right, but the power interests want the bill to go farther and specify the rights that are acknowledged to be vested. The commission believes that this should be left to the courts in the adjudication of water rights. The conflicting views are farther apart than has been supposed, and At torney F. T. Griffith, of the Portland General Electric, said tonight that pas sage of a water code will probably be a work of the last weeK of the ses sion. Among those here tonight to urge passage of a water code were Dis trict Attorney J. W. McCulloch. A. N. Sollss and J. R. Blackaby. of Ontario; G. A. Hurley, of Vale, and Manager Wdrthlngton, of the Umatilla Irriga tion project. THIRD HOUSE PLAXS SESSION Cnable to Agree on Officers, They Will Be Elected on Floor. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Feb. 4. (Spe cial.) Preliminary arrangements were made tonight for a session of the third house, which will be held in the Hall of Representatives next Wednesday night. A committee was appointed to assign seats to the uninitiated Legislators and to complete arrangements, tor the ex traordinary session. A spirited contest already has developed for the Speakership, In which W. H. Barry, chief clerk of the Senate, and George Neuner, assistant chief clerk of the House, are the leading candidates. Tonight's caucus was held for the pur pose of selecting a complete list of offi cers, but It was decided to take the elec tion of officers on to the floor of the House In true " non-machine-like pro gramme. ' NORMAL BUGABOO HAUNTS CAPITOL Friends and Enemies Await Opportunity to Use Pressure on Pet Measures. MANY VIEWS ARE INVOLVED Four Normals Ask for $330,000, "While Friends of One-School Plan Would Cse $150,000 for Central Institution. " STATE HOUSE, Salem. Feb. 4. (Spe cial.) Oregon's Normal-school nuisance is haunting legislation' again in many directions, and the champions of two, three, four and five schools are trying to steer the issue ut of the disposal of the ways and means committees, which favor one normal at Portland or perhaps at Monmouth. In Balary grabs and trades the normal county lawmakers are "standing In" to con tinue the ancient raid on the state treasury. Two sets of committees are handling the question the ways and means of both houses on the one side, the Senate committee on education on the other. The last-named committee or a ma jority of its members want more than one NormaL The ways and means committees rather take the other view. The education committee holds the bill of Senator Smith, of Marion, for one Normal In Portland. Await Chance of Log-Rolling. All sides are fighting shy of the Issue for the present, because of other mat ters that would be drawn Into the vortex. Friends of the several-school plan are afraid to force the Issue, lest they make enemies and foes are keep ing wise silence, because needing Normal votes for pet bills. The ways and means committees are the bodies possessing authority In recommending appropriations, so that whatever the reports of other commit tees on Normals, the bills must go to the ways and means. The ways and means committees were selected for the especial purpose of dealing with the Normal nuisance. One legislator from a Normal county has a place on the committee Kepresentative Mann, or Umatilla, who Is said, however, to ac cept the verdict of the majority of the committee. The most active foe of the one-Normal plan Is Representative Mc Cue, of Clatsop, graduate of the Mon mouth school. Many Friends of One Normal. Out of the 14 members of the Joint committee it is plain that the one- Normal plan has a strong hold. The members are: Senate Nottingham and Coffey of Multnomah. Wood of Wash ington. Smith of Marlon, Hedges or Clackamas, Merryman of Klaimath, and Scholfleld of Clatsop. House Abbott and Clemens of Multnomah, Keynolds of Marlon, Mann of Umatilla, McCue of Clatsop, Beals of Tillamook, Eaton of Lane. The four starved Normals have called for nearly $350,000. One large Normal would need between $150,000 and $200, 000. which would put It In much better shape than the big sum asked for the four Normals wouia serve tnem. ii would establish a school at or near the center of population and transporta tion, whereas now there is no Normal School for the Willamette Valley nearer than xne gaum one at aon moutlu Some talk Is heard of estab lishing the one Normal at Corvallls in conjunction with the Agricultural Col lege, or at Eugene in connection wun the State University.

INSPECTORS FOR ELECTION'S Orton Prepares Bill .Applying Only to Multnomah. County. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Feb. i. (Special.) County Clerk Fields has re newed his efforts to secure enactment of a law at this session providing for the appointment of inspectors of election In this state. Such a bill failed to pass the House earlier in the session. The bill introduced in the House today, however, differs from the original measure In that It applies only to Multnomah County, and then only to precincts in which 300 or more votes are oast. Orton of Multno mah presented the bill. The bill authorizes the appointment of an Inspector of election who, shall serve for two years and who shall receive 10 and 10 cents mileage In going for and re turning tally sheets, pollbooks and ballot boxes, in full payment "of his services at each election. Under the provisions of the bill, the duties of these Inspectors are defined as follows: To assist the County Court In selecting proper Judges and clerks for his precinct, receive from the Sheriff and deliver to the County Clerk the election supplies and returns, to see that Judges and clerks are on hand at the appointed time on election days and to recom mend men to fill vacancies, and to as sist and advise the Judges and clerks In the performance of their duties. KELLAHER BILL IS KILiLED Trolley Lines Need Not' Place Toilets In lnterurban Cars. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Feb. 4. (Special.) Kcllaher's bill requiring touets FOR MEN W WOMEN 2.7 O WASHINGTON STREET. on all lnterurban passenger oars was In definitely postponed In the Senate this morning, but not until after a vigorous fight for it by Senator Kellaher and Chairman Coffey, of the railroads com mittee. When the bill came up on third read ing, Senator Kellaher made only a few remarks in favor of it, whereupon Beach made a strong address . against It, as serting that it waa needless and that It would be injurious in the case of such lnterurban lines as those between Port land and Vancouver and between Port land and St. John, where a car scarcely gets outside the corporate limits of one town until It gets Into the limits of another. "It was to be expected that any bill affecting the railroads would be opposed by Senator Beach!" exclaimed Kellaher, and the members of the Senate began to sit up and take notice. He then as serted that railroads disregard the needs of the public In the matter of toilets and towels on cars. Senator Coffey also took up the fight, saying "You, gentlemen of the Senate, have corporations to the right of you and corporations to the left of you, but you have the people in front of you and I hope you will regard the' peo ple's Interests and not vote against this bm" Senators Bingham, Hedges and ISot tlngham opposed the bill upon the ground that the Railroad Commission is vested with power to order toilets Installed on any car where needed and that the com mission Is attending to all proper cases called to Its attention. On a motion to postpone Indefinitely, vote was: Ayes Bailey, Beach, Bingham. Cald well, Chase.

The marvelous growth of the sale of Postum is principally due to the fact that when a man or woman learns that coffee Is hurting them and that there's relief by changing to Postum. they are pretty sure to find out for themselves by trial. "For six or eight years I had suf fered from Indigestion." writes a Va. lady, "until I was nothing but skin and bones. I tried nearly every patent medicine for stomach trouble, and sev eral physicians, but without relief. "Two years ago I was nervous and weak when my last boy came, and couldn't nurse him. I had an attack of bilious colic one day and could taste nothing but coffee. I told my husband I would not drink any more coffee, as I believed it caused my troubles. "Having heard a lot about Postum I had him get some. I did not like It at first, but when we boiled It thor oughly according to directions on the pkg. I liked It, felt better, and the baby was better, too. "At that time my husband was a slave to coffee, he had his coffee and I had Postum. One night he thought he was dying. I had had those attacks and told him he was only nervous from drinking coffee for supper. "The next morning he told the cook not to make coffee, he would try Postum. When he came home that afternoon he still wanted Postum, and he felt better than for a long time, and that night he rested better than for a good many nights. "From that day till this he has been a Postum drinker and has better health than for years. I used to weigh 120 lbs. when I began to use Postum, now I weigh 150. All my children drink Postum and are healthy. "Our grocer did not handle Postum but lie got It for us. As our friends saw the good It had done us, they be gan to drink Postum. aqd now our grocer says he can hardly keep enough on hand. "It Is hard to down a good thing when the people find It out.

WOTTID COM PROMISE SALARY FIGHT. Tells Bean He Has Saved 65 Per Cent of Former Cost of Printing. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 4. (Special.) State Printer Duniway to night appeared In a seml-prlvate con ference at the State Capitol building with several memDers of the House who are back of the bill by which It Is proposed to put him on a flat salary of S4000 per annum, beginning next July. Representative Bean, author of the pending bill, was among the group of Representatives that attended the meet ing. Neither he nor Mr. Duniway, how ever, would discuss the result of the conference, although it was learned from others In attendance that It was practically agreed that when the Bean bill comes up in the House tomorrow morning for consideration In commit tee of the whole, the State Printer will be invited to be present and address the House In defense of himself and the administration of that office. At the meeting tonight Mr. Duniway is reported to have informed those who would relieve him of the management of the State Printer's ofice and place he department under the exclusive control of a state printing board con sisting of the Governor, State Treas urer and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, that he considered he held an Implied contract with the state that covered the four-year term for which he was elected, and of which he has served .only two years. Mr. Duniway Is also reported to have presented fig ures showing that he has done the printing of the state for 65 per cent of what It formerly cost. In addition, he volunteered to give the objecting members of the Legislature suggestions by which this expense to the state could be reduced at least 16 per cent more. There Is a disposition on the part of many members of the House to give Mr. Duniway an opportunity to be THE STORE FURS The Balance of Our Furs at HALF-PRICE COATS FRIDAY AND S tons.

The House committee on Judiciary to morrow will adversely reirt on Rep resentative Mann's bill providing for an Increase In the salary of Circuit judges of the state from $3000 tb J4000 per annum. A bill providing the same increased salary was killed In the Sen ate thia week. Attention was called to an abuse of growing magnitude today, when Senator Smith, of Umatilla, introduced, at the re quest of the State Fair Board, a bill authorizing the Board to have whatever printing it desired, to be paid for out of the general printing fund. Heretofore the Board's printing has been paid for out of its own special fund. This policy of conferring general au thority to grab at the printing fund is largely responsible for the large in crease In the amount of public printing, and it Is an abuse against which State Printer Duniway has protested, not withstanding Jts continuance means more profit for him. When any department of the state government, or any Institution, Is re quired to pay its printing bills out of its own appropriations, the amount of printing will be kept down, for any money spent for printing diminishes the amount available for other purposes. How this plan works out may easily be seen. If a department has an appro- ASK YOUR A.

If the law provides that the department shall have an appropriation of $10,000 and may have suoh printing as it desires, to be paid out of the printing fund, the department may run up a printing bill of $1000 and thus se cure an actual appropriation of $11,000 while the reports will show to the pub lio that It spent only f10.000.
