LIVELY DEBATE ENSUES Astorian Has Rapid lire of Ques tions, "Which Confuse for a Time Supporters of Bill Abolish ing Compulsory Pilotage. HOCPE WASTES XITH TIME. PTATE CAPITOL. Salm. Ft. 4. (Special.) with discipline thrown out of the window and dignity, be coming a legislative assembly al most entirely a minus quantity, the House wasted the greater part of both forenoon and afternoon sessions today. The sum total of the day's accomplishments was passage of only two Important Mils one abol ishing compulsory pilotage on the Columbia bar and the other pTovld lng that the question of holding a constitutional convention shall b. submitted to the people. House committee on resolutions tomorrow will report back to the House Senate Concurrent Resolution, calling for final adjournment of the Legislature next Wednesday, with the recommendation that the reso lution be not concurred in by the House until both houses have en actsd some legislation In the Inter est of the people of the state." STATE CAPITAL, Salem. Feb. 4. (Special.) Against a vigorous flpht waged by Representative MrCue, of Clatsop, the bill abolishing compulsory pilotage on tlie Columbia bar passed the House this morning by a vote of 4X to 11. one absent. This bill was Introduced by Representa tive Mahone for tho Multnomah County delegation and had the indorsement of the Portland Chamber of Commerce and the Port of Portland. Repeal of the compulsory pilotage fea ture of the present law was urged by the supporters of the bill as being absolutely necessary to place Portland on an equality with Puget Sound ports for com petitive shipping. It was also urged that so long as the pilotage sen-ice re mained In the control of interests other than those of Portland, from which nine-teen-twentieths of the shipping of the state was forwarded, just that long the differential between this port and thosrt on Puget Sound would have to be con tributed indirectly by the producers of the entire state in the shape of increased freight rates. McCue Fires Rapid Questions. McCue made an earnest and eloquent argument against the till and repeatedly fired questions Into the camp of the bill's wupporter that tended to confuse them for the reason that few members of the Multnomah delegation were suffi ciently versed In the towage and pilotage services on the river to make effective replies to the clever and entangling in terrogatories of the young legislator from Clatsop. Mr. McCue argued that the pilotage eervlc on the river should be a matter for state regulation and should not be regulated by any one particular com munity. Experience, he said, had proved that every port In the world that amounted to anything In a commercial way, maintained compulsory pilotage. He asserted that any discrimination that might exist against Portland and In favor of Puget Sound was due, not to the pilotage service, but to the natural condition of the bar at the mouth of the river and which could not be obviated. Debate j3 cut Short. -( Mahone. Davis, Jaeger and McKinney made talks in support of the bill. The discussion had. occupied about 90 minutes when Clemens moved the previous ques tion with the result that McCue, al though he had concluded his main ad dress, was denied the privilege of ask ing some questions of the defenders of the bill. In the balloting that followed, Bor.ee. Bean and Corrigan took excep tion because of the abruptness with which the discussion was cl.w-d, and voted against t-- bill. Baton also voted negatively for the reason that he con sidered that the bill was a contest be tween two conflicting Interests and for the further reason that he did not thoroughly understand the provisions of the measure. Calkins voted for the bill under protest. explaining that he objected seriously to the emergency clause with which It was provided. The 11 Representatives voting against the bill were: Bean, Bones. Corrigan, (Eaton, Hawley, Jonos (Douglas). Leinen weber, McCue. Meek. Miller and Smith. Beals was abseri. Two Bills AVithdrawn. Representative Bonebrake today with drew (Dm the House his bill empowering Justice Court officers to require persons obtaining liquor In dry territory to tell of vbom the liquor was obtained. The com mittee on revision of laws had held that this bill was not necessary as the au thority to compel such testimony was already provided in another statute. The bill, by Representative Brandon, proposing that the maximum charge for railroad fare In the state should be 2!i cents a mile, was also withdrawn by Mr. Brandon who explained that he took the action at the request of members of the Railroad Commission who feared the en actment of the bill with some of its provisions might embarrass the work of that organisation.

SCHOOL TERM IS EXTENDED House Passes Bill for Six Months Yearly In All Districts. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Feb. 4. (Spe cial.) Advocates of extended common school education In this state today scored a notable victory when Represen tative Hawley's bill, requiring that at least six months' school be taught an nually In every school district in the state, passed the House with only one dissenting vote Hatteberg of Marion. Eaton, chairman of the committee on education, by which the bill had been re ported favorably, at the request of Mr. Hawley. Introduced the discussion in the bill's favor. Mr. Eaton remarked that there were 190.000 school children in the state. Of the 2000 school districts In Oregon, he said approximately one-half were now holding only six months' school or less every year. Over 600 districts hold less than six months' terms. It was explained by the speaker that where the revenues of any school district for school purposes are Insufficient to meet the expenses of a six months' term of school, the bill authorizes the County Court to levy a small tax on the property in such districts to make up the defi ciency. Mr. Hawley.' author of the bill; Speaker McArthur, Brooke, Brandon and Bone brake all warmly championed the meas ure, which they declared was In the In terest of the small and outlying school districts of the state, where under the present system children desiring an edu cation were not furnished adequate school advantages. JOXES BILL IX SEW FORM Ways and Means Committee Will Recommend Substitute. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Feb. 4. (Special.) Joint committee on ways and means tonight decided to recom mend a substitute for a bill Introduced by Representative Jones cf Lincoln and Polk, extending until 1911 the time that the state's contingent appropria tion of $300,000 shall be available as a Dart of the purchase price of the Ore gon City locks by the Government. The substitute bill will propose that the $200,000 already raised for this purpose under the terms of the bill passed at the 1907 session shall revert to the general fund, and provides that the state authorities shall have the au thority to raise the $300,000 in three yearly installments, beginning with the year 1911. If the Government does not proceed to purchase the locks before 1911. then the Legislature which meets that year will have opportunity to defer for an other two years, or longer, the time in which the state shall undertake to raise its agreed share of the purchase price of that property. The substitute bill, aa recommended by the ways and means committee, probably will be Introduced either In the Senate or the House tomorrow. Seen In Statehouse Lobby. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Feb. 4.

BINGHAM STARTS .TROUBLE Finally Succeeds In Having Measure Referred to His Committee, Although One Committee Has Taken Action. STATES CAPITOL. Salem. Feb. 4. (Spe cial.) Pandemonium reigned in the Senate Just before adjournment this afternoon, and President Bowerman was kept busy with his gavel attempting to restore or der. House Bill 77, by Hawley, to provide more funds for common schools, had been referred to the committee on education, of which Cole Is chairman. Senator Bing ham, of the committee on assessment and taxation, moved that It be referred to his committee. A number of the Senators were on the floor at once. Miller, of Linn, demanding vociferously to know why this action should be taken; Selling protesting that "two or three members are trying to run the whole Senate, and others trying to get the Attention of the chair."' Bowerman finally got order enough so that a speaker could be heard, and Bing ham explained that this bill related to school tax and therefore should go to the committee on assessment and taxation. Senator Albee, of that committee, said that he could see no reason why the Sen ate should take the bill away from the committee to which the President had sent it in the first Instance. SmlUi. of Umatilla, favored the change. The mo tion was carried. Hatchery Bill Up Friday. Senator Scholfleld's bill to appropriate $12,000 for a central hatchery on the Co lumbia River, was read the third time to day and discussed quite extensively, and then made a special order for Friday at 11 A. M. The bill was opposed by some upon the ground that what the state needs Is not more appropriations for hatcheries, but more protection of the fish against the fishermen. Senator ' Norton introduced a bill this morning for the purpose of compelling all telephone companies to grant con nection with other lines desiring such connection. The bill provides that If a company refuses such connection, appeal may be had to the Railroad Commission and to the courts, and that. If the com panies concerned cannot agree upon the terms upon which connection shall be made, the Railroad Commission shall de termine the terms, subject to appeal to the courts. The bill Is designed to af ford local and Independent lines long distance connection and connection with city switchboards. "What are known as "farmers' lines" are the ones to be ben efited by this bill. Complete Address Required. Senator Hart Introduced a bill today which will be appreciated by candidates for office.

The Senate this morning indefinitely postponed the Nesmith County bill. Sen ate bill 89. This action was taken on recommendation of the Senate committee on counties. The motion for indefinite postponement was made by Senator Abraham, of Douglas County, and It car ried by unanimous vote. There was no discussion.

Miller, of Linn and Lane, today Introduced resolutions for the constitutional amendments upon the subject-of taxation, which were printed in The Oregonlan yesterday. These amendments. If adopted, will permit the assessment and taxation of raiTroads by the state separate from other classes of property. Similar resolutions have been introduced In the House by Representa tive McCue.

When Senator Abraham's "quiet Sun day" bill came up in the Senate on second reading today. Abraham wanted it to go to the committee on municipal corpora tions.

Acheson Clearance t j (,7 V PEOPLE TO DECIDE Constitutional Convention Vote Bill Passes. BIG MAJORITY IN HOUSE Election to Determine AYhether Con vention Shall Be Held Dated for June, 1911, In Case Senate Concurs. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Feb. 4. (Spe cial.) Representative Bonebrake's bill submitting to a vote of the people of the state the proposal to hold a constitu tional convention passed the House this afternoon by a vote of 40 to 17, three ab sent. The election on this subject is to be held on the first Monday In June, 1911. In urging the passage of his bill Mr. Buchanan said he was a firm believer in a state constitution that means- some thing. He deplored the system that had been established by which it was such an easy matter to amend the organic law of the state, and insisted that it was time for a convention of representa tive citizens to meet and revise its con stitution. Speaker McArthur took the floor and declared for the proposed convention, for the reason that the state no longer had a constitution, at least but a semblance of the original document. Campbell said that while he would vote against the convention when the special elec tion should be held, he Intended to sup port the bill under consideration, for the reason that he believed the people should say whther or not their constitution should be revised by such a convention. Brooke remarked sarcastically that he favored the bill for the reason that he believed "in moving the State Capitol from Oregon City to Salem." Jones (Douglas), Dimlck and Orton op posed the bill -for two reasons. In the first place they contended that the peo ple already had a means of making de sired changes in the constitution, and secondly, they objected to the proposed convention because of the additional ex pense to the taxpayers that would be Involved by the two special elections pro vided in the bill in crder to carry out its provisions. The vote by which the bill passed was as follows: Ayes Applegate. Bedlllion, Belknap, Bonebrake, Bones, Brady, Brattain, Brooke, Buchanan, Calkins, Campbell, Carter, Clemens, Conyers, Corrigan, Da vis, Dodds, Eaton, Farrell, Greer, Haw ley, HInes. Hughes, Jackson.
