THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1909. GILL TO AMEND PRIMARY PASSES Provides That Members of One Party May Not Vote at Primaries of Another. MO PENALTIES PROVIDED Campbell Declares This Omission Renders Bill Worthless Demo crats Stand By Measnr 'Which Has Aided Them In Past. PTATE CAPITOL. Salem, Feb. 10. (Special.) Abbott's bill, amending the di rect primary law to prevent the members of one political party from participating In the primary nominating- election of another passed the House this afternoon. There were 41 ayes and 18 noes. Demo crats voted no. The bill provides that at the time an elector registers he shall oe required to make affidavit reciting wiiat candidates lie supported in the preceding election for President and Vloe-Preetderrt. Oongress- t TVi. b rr',i H t it la provided, shall be In addition to the num ber of questions touching on his qualifi cations as a voter, -that he Is now re quired to answer. The bill carries no penalties. . - Campbell, while professing his belief In the direct primary, declared that If the bill were enacted Into a law It would ho absolutely Inoperative, for the reason that there was provided no means of pun ishing a voter for subscribing to a false affidavit. He said the effect would be to encourage the man who Is dishonest not only to be dishonest, but to add perjury to dishonesty. Bean, McCue,' Conyers, Abbott and Hughes, on the Republican side, argued that the bill was drawn In the right di rection and should be passed for the as sistance' it might give in preventing the members of one party Invading the elec tions of another and assisting to nomi nate undesirable candidates. Naturally t!:e Democratic members were all lined tip against the bill. Brandon frankly said that he could not rupport the bill for the reason that, hav ing been elected to the Legislature with thij assistance of about & Linn County Republicans, he did not propose to enact any measure that would require them to make affidavit to anything that might tnake them feel uncomfortable. Those voting against the bill were: Barrett. Bedilllon. Brandon. Brooke, Campbell, Corrigan, Dimick. Hatteberg, Jackson. Jone (Clackamas), Miller, Munkers. Patton. PhUpott.

The substitute bill Is much lew stringent than the orlglnnl and provides that laborers in all manu facturing Institutions shall be allowed at least 3 minutes every six hours in which to eat. On the final vote, those voting against the measure were Applegate. Barrett, Be dilllon. Bones. Brandon, Brattaln, Bu chanan, Conyers.

STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Feb. 10. (Special.) Senator Abraham tried to re vise the unwritten rules of Senatorial courtesy this afternoon by moving to postpone inaennueiy a um booh ... . had been Introduced. It was Senate bill 234. by Hart, that met his disfavor. The bill authorizes corporations to en- ' ter upon lands, cut timber, dig ditches, etc., for railroad, water power and other purposes. As soon as the bill had been read the flrst time, Abraham astonished the Senate by moving that further con sideration of it be Indefinitely postponed. Everybody sat up and began to take , notice. Senator Hart himself, accustomed I to flings from Senator Abraham, was at first a little non-plussed, but came to the rescue of his bill. He said that be had introduced the bill by request of a Port land lawyer, that he did not know the full contents of the bill and that be would not like to have U Indefinitely postponed until he could see what it contained. "Perhaps I shall vote against It myself when it comes up on third reading," he said. "That's Just what I object to," replied Abraham. "Here we are on the last ten days of the session, with our work congested and a new bill is Introduced giving corporations the right to go upon a man's property and do various things which not even the Senator who intro duced the bill understands. I object to taking up the time of the Senate in that manner." Senator Hart said he would have been surprised if this motion had been made by any one besides Abraham, but that nothing that Abraham could do would surprise Nhlm. Senator Bingham took a shot at Abra ham by saying that If the latter Is con cerned over the congested condition of the Senate's work, he should not have taken up so much time in discussing the Sunday rest bill this morning. Abraham was the only Senator voting for his motion. NEW' BILIi SHIELDS DUNIWAY Flat Salary Bill Proposes to Become Operative In 1 1 1 . STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Feb. 10.

OPPONENTS GAIN POINT Succeed In naving Order Issued for Separate Bills for Each of Schools With Separate Appropri ation for Each. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Feb. 10. (Special.) Advocates of three normal schools won the opening skirmish in the normal school fight in the House today. By a vote of 38 io 21 the bill recom mended by the committee on ways and means and carrying an appropriation of 115,000 for one central normal school at Monmouth, was rejected. At the same time the House re-referred the bill to that committee with instructions to make pro vision for the three schools at Weston, Ashland and Monmouth. Opponents of the normal school com bination, however, gained one slight ad vantage when, by a standing vote of 33 to 18, they adopted a motion instruct ing the ways and means committee to report three separate bills providing sep arate appropriations for each of the three schools. Jones for Three Schools. The bill came up as a special order at 10 o'clock this morning. Jones (Lincoln and Polk) Immediately moved the re-reference of the bill, with instructions that provision be made for state support of the three schools as recommended by a majority of the Board of Normal School Regents. Hawley, also of Polk, the home of the Monmouth school, supported Jones by contending that the geographical con ditions of the state are such as naturally to require' at least throe normal schools. Calkins argued that it would be a step backward for the state to undertake the abandonment of any educational Insti tution after it has been established and supported for a number of years by state funds. Barrett criticised the members of the ways and means committee for dis regarding the reports and recommenda tions of the different schools and report ing a bill so out of harmony with those recommendations. He declared his op position to any scheme for cutting down the appropriations for any ' of these schools. Patton, Alt man, Buchanan, Car ter and Mahone argued for the retention of the three schools as indispensable to the completeness of the state's educa tional system. Dimick Plunges to Fray. Dimick was the first member of the House to go to the defense of the recom mendations of the ways and means com mittee and ar.id he . offered no apology for going on record as being opposed to the further retention of so many normal schools. He wished to go on record as supporting one normal school only. Brandon maintained that these schools were not entitled to receive further state aid for the reason that they did not dis charge the function for which they were created. He charged that not to exceed 10 per cent of the graduates from these schools subsequently taught school. He favored one school, properly located and maintained, with some regulation that would require each graduate therefrom to give two or three years of his or her time to teaching In the publlo schools of the state. - Reynolds for One School. As a member of the ways and means committee, Reynolds talked against the Jones motion. He asserted that he be lieves in higher education and that it should be supported liberally, but he was opposed to distributing state aid among several Institutions of the same kind when It could be centered In one school with the result that greater good would follow. He cited the fact that last De cember there were only 2S5 pupils attend ing all three of the normal schools for which appropriations aggregating $320,000 had been asked of this Legislature. He explained that the reason he favored the one school plan was that the state, by making an adequate appropriation, could get better results. Furthermore, he point ed out that there were accommodations at the Monmouth school for between 300 and Vf pupils, or a greater number than were now being educated in all three of the schools. "I move a call of the House," said Bar rett of Umatilla, when the debate had ended. ' "We Eastern Oregon members want all of the members of the House here that we may know Just where they stand on this question. The result of .this vote will have a great effect on what the members from Eastern Ore gon will do during the remainder of the session. We want to know where every member of this House stands on the nor mal school question." Separate Elite Plan Win. When Informed that there was only one absentee, Barrett withdrew his mo tion and the rollcall proceeded. When the result had been announced, McKinney offered a motion instructing the ways and means committee to report a separate bill for each school, but he recalled It on the objection of Mahoney, who charged that If the Legislature passed separate bills for each of the schools the opportunity would be given the peo ple of one normal school district to In itiate the referendum against another lo cality. Campbell, however, immediately renewed the motion, which prevailed by a standing vote of 32 to IS. How Vote Is Divided. Orton being absent, eight members of the Multnomah County delegation lined up with the forces for three normal schools. They were: Altman, Brady, Couch, Davis, Jaeger, Mahone, Mc Donald and Speaker McArthur. The vote by which the bill was re-referred, with instructions to make provision - for all three normal schools was as follows: Ayes Altman, Barrett, Bean, Bedilllon, Belknap, Bonebrake, Brady, Brattaln, Brooks, Buchanan, . Calkins, Conyers, Couch, Davis. Dodds, Eaton.

STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Feb. 10. (Special.! Senator Abraham's Sunday rest bill was killed In the Senate this morning by Indefinite postponement, by a vote of 18 to 9, with three absent. After the Judiciary committee reported the bill adversely the Senate defeated an effort to send the bill to the com mittee on education, and then carried Hart's motion to postpone Indefinitely. The bill was given extended discussion by Abraham and brief discussion by Selling, Hedges and Hart, against It, and by Kay and Miller, of Linn, in fa vor of it. Senator Abraham supported the bill on both religious and economic grounds, insisting that this was a Christian Na tion and that the tenets of Christianity should be observed. He scored the Sen ate for inviting a preacher to open the sessions each morning by Invoking di vine blessing and then proceeding Im mediately to defeat a Sunday law. He declared that he had no hope of the Senate passing the bill, for It had set aside all the rest of the Ten Command ments and he expected it would set aside that relating to the keeping of the Sabbath. He quoted Washington, Lincoln, Webster, Gladstone, several eminent Judges and others In support of Sunday observance and disclaimed any Intention as posing as a Billy Sun day, though-he wished he had Billy here to "shake up this Senate a little." He insisted that the enactment of a Sun day law was necessary because a de cision hy Judge Gantenbein had de clared the present law unconstitutional. Senator Hart explained that the Ju diciary committee decided to report ad versely on the bill because it was deemed too drastic and because a large number of people had filed petitions against it, which petitions he desired filed by the Chief Clerk of the Senate. Senator Hedges said that though the present Sunday law had been declared unconstitutional by a Circuit Court he would regard It as valid until declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Senator Selling said he believed in ob serving Sunday as a day of rest but that he did not believe in a law com pelling others to observe it If they did not want to do so. The vote upon the question of In definite postponement was as follows: Aye Bailey, Beach, Bingham, Chase, Coffey, Hart, Hedges, Kellaher, Mer ryman, Mullt, Norton, Parrish, Schol fleld.

When the report was re ceived. Senator Beach called It a "white wash." but the report was adopted and referred to the ways and means commit tee. The report was as follows: We, your special committee appointed to investigate the accounts ofthe Alaska-Yu-kon-Paclflo Kxposltlon, ben to retort that we have gone Into the matter as far a J we could without visiting Seattle, and that we have Interviewed responsible men as to the accomplishments of the commission at Seattle, with the result that we find: That all accounts are correct In detail. That the money disbursed has been economically and Judiciously spent That the Oregon building Is a great credit to tne state and the Oregon Commission. The location Is the best of a:iy state build ing on the ground. The structure is beau tiful, and admirably arranged for exhibi tion and entertainment purposes and the building was constructed at a saving or several thousand dollars over the . cost of other state buildings.

Effort to Resolve House Into Com mittee of Whole and Discuss Bill Is Voted Down. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Feb. 10. (Special.) Bean's bill, creating a State Insurance Commissioner, passed the House this afternoon by a vote of 38 to 20, two absent. Attempts to resolve the House into committee of the whole and to re-refer the bill for the purpose of amending . it so as to leave the' $50,000 deposit feature of the law as it Is, were defeated. In opposing the bill Jaegor said it would create an additional office and at the same time there was no assurance that the changes contemplated would give to the people of this state cheaper insurance. Clemens Insisted that a deposit of $50, 000 was no protection to the assured at all, for the reason that the companies required to deposit such surety carried from $600,000 to $1,600,000 of risks in Portland alone. He charged that various representatives of the large insurance concerns were In the capitol lobbying against the bill for the reason that it would break up the monopoly they had so strongly organized in San Francisco and by which the rates of Insurance for this state were fixed.

We, in our family, are great pie and cake eaters, and naturally we are, or have been, "all dvspeptics," more or less. My family consists of a husband, two daughters and a son. Scarcely a day passed but some of us were ill with headache, stomach distress after eat ing, biliousness. Irritability, etc., and I frequently with heart trouble, due to wind and gas on stomach. From a "family of blues" we've been changed to a "family of pinks," as we are all In the pink of health and eat more than ever. We got the prescription filled several limes. I want to give this simple formula: Get two ounces syrup of ginger, two ounces essence of pep sin and one ounce compound essence cardiol. Mix in a bottle. Shake well and take one or two teaspoonfuls after each meal. One before eating will ex cite a good appetite. This will digest anything we eat and gives .strength and health. Hoping this will be pub lished and do much good, I am. Respectfully. MRS. A. K. MP. (For publication with Initials.)
