6 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, ' FOKTL.AND, MARCH 2, 1913. t ' V VEST CALLS UPON Tl Governor Makes First Move After Day Spent in the Vetoing of Bills. PANAMA FAIR BILL FILED Statement From Executive Taken as Denial That His Lieutenants Had Been Called Upon to Sub mit Their Resignation. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., March 1. Special.) Vetoing? the Rogue Kiver fishing bill and the bill allowing voters to vote for all candidates as delegates to National conventions or Presidential electors, but doing the unexpected In filing the- Panama-Pacific Exposition appropriation bill, the Governor round ed out a day today of issuing many veto messages. It was believed that the Panama-Pa-t-lflc Exposition appropriation bill would be vetoed by the executive, but instead he Issued a statement explain ing his reasons for filing it and de claring that he will not participate in any manner in selecting the Commis sion to expend the money and thus will not be visited with the responsibilities which will attach to naming such, a o hi in i km ion. His statement on the Panama-Fa- cine exposition question anl the ve toos which he issued today follow: "To the members of the Legislature Personal Appeal Made. "It appearing that a grave question has arisen as to the validity of cer tain measures passed at the recent session or the Legislature should that body fail to meet again on March 4 and adjourn sine die, I earnestly hope that each and every member will re port at the apnolnted hour I that all unfinished business may be Kiven proper attention and by ad journing sine die leave no doubt as to the validity of the measures already passed. To those good friends who have stood by me In the fight during " ieweni session i make this a per sonal appeal." "OSWALD WEST. "Governor " This statement, issued by Governor west tonignt, throws a new turn Into the Legislative situation and on the face of it is taken as a denial that the executive has been calling upon his lieutenants in the Legislature to sub mit their resignations that a quorum might not be present. When asked as to this particular feature tonight the Governor merely referred to the statement which he is used. Senator McColloch, his leader in the Senate, and Representative Reames, his leader in the House, were with him when he prepared the statement in his private office and when he issued it Governor Glvea Way. From the statement, it is apparent that the executive has "laid down" in hla fight to stave off an adjourned session of the Legislature, which his lieutenants declared they would make every effort to stave otf. By this move he joins with President Malarkey and Speaker McArthur In urging a quorum to be present next Tuesday, when the Legislature is due to reconvene, and by the statement it makes it practically a certainty that such a quorum will be present. That the quorum would be present has been Insisted by organization lead ers ever since the Legislature took its aadjournment last Wednesday, but some of the minority members have been making frantic efforts to head off such a session. The Governor's strength In the House is estimated at not to exceed 12 mem bers and in the Senate not to exceed five or six members, but the statement now gives assurance tnat these mem bers will be back in an effort to bring up the desired quorum and. with them here, it is believed that the West mem bers will hope against hope that they will constitute a sufficient part of the quorum to have some decided strength in event all of the rest of the members do not put In their appearance. But this move probably will mean that practically the full Legislature will return here next Tuesday and only a few vacant seats are looked for, if there are any. j West Tells Why In Kalr Case. In making a statement as to the Panama-Pacific bill the Governor said: "I had prepared and was about to file a veto covering the Panama Fair bill for the reason that I had discov ered that, while apparently I was to have a voice in naming the commission and would surely be held accountable by tho people of the state for the prop, er expenditure of the funds appropriat ed. It was never intended that I should have a voice In naming the commission. Before I had finally decided to veto the measure and return it to the Legisla ture with a hope that my name be stricken from the bill. I consulted with Mr. Kay and asked if it would be un reasonable to ask that the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House, Secretary of State, State Treasurer and the Governor, named in the bill, be al lowed to name a commissioner in order that the interests of each might be pro tected. "Mr. Kay wouid not agree to this, however, and even after consulting with Mr. Malarkey and Mr. McArthur he could not see his way clear to con cede such an arrangement. In view of this, 1 look upon the whole proposition with suspicion and shall, as far as I am concerned, leave it entirely In the hands of the three gentlemen who have taken it upon themselves to play poli tics and let them run It to suit them selves. I intend to take no part in their deliberations. "The bill was framed in such a way is to give Senator Malarkey an op portunity to punish Senator Joseph, who had a friend whom he thought I might appoint. Both Senator Joseph and Mr. Meier have arisen to the oc casion and have shown they are above letting personal matters Interfere .with the best Interests of the state." With this statement he also issued copies of telegrams from Julius L. Meier and Senator Joseph, of Portland, urging that the bill be not vetoed. Flak Bill I People. In vetoing the Rogue River fish bill, Governor said: "This bill attempts to repeal a law passed by the people under the initia tive in the year 1910. At this election there was 49,712 votes cast for and 31.397 votes cast against the measure. It thus having a clear majority of 16 515 votes. It carried in 24 counties of the state. "Since the election of 1910 another election by the people has been held in 1912. and there was no effort put forth by anyone to have the law either amended or repealed at this later elec tion. Considering these and other cir cumstances I do not believe that the Legislature at this time should at SO IS ) RETURN tempt to make such a radical change in the Jaw. Declaring it creates a" conflict, the Governor says, in vetoing the Presi dential direct primary amendment: "Senate bill No. 258, by Senator Car son, carrying an emergency clause and not a law, makes a political party sub ject to the direct primary law, which, at thelast preceding general election polled for its candidates for presiden tial electors at least 20 per cent of the entire-vote cast for that office In the state. Many Meaanrea Get Ax.? Among the other measures vetoed by Governor West today are: s. B. 2S3 Appropriating money Sot Celllo power project surrey. H. B. i59 Providing for 31 Circuit Judges. H.

Sub-Branch of Portland Institution Shows Steady Growth Since In ception Five Years Ago. GRESHAM, Or., March 1. (Special.) The new Carnegie sub-branch library was dedicated here today. The rooms were filled with people from the town and surrounding country. Mr. Brewster, chairman of the library extension committee, presided. The principal talk was an Interesting his tory of the library, by Mrs. H. L. St. Clair. She was followed by Theodore Brugger, Mayor Lewis Shattuck and F. H. Crane. The extension board was present In a body, headed by W. B. Ayer, the oth ers being W. L. Brewster. Rev. T. L. Eliot. W. L. Woodward, W. i. Llght ner, Robert H. Strong.Tliss Mary Isom, librarian, and Miss Nelly Fox, assistant librarian. The Gresham sub-branch library dates from January 1, 1903, when the Legislature authorised the levy of a county tax for library purposes. The County Court ordered a tax of one fifth of a mill and entered into a con tract with the Portland Library As sociation to extend its privileges to the people of Gresham. This was the first library established in Multnomah Coun ty outside of Portland. The first lot of books numbered oO, which were placed in the care of Mrs. I. McColl as first custodian. She was In reality the first librarian. Mrs. McColl was followed by Miss Hattie Pierce, M. L. Hardingham and H. L. St. Clair. A meeting of the people of Gresham and vicinity was held in November, 1905, at which a committee on perma nent organization was appointed. Dr. J. M. Short was elected president and H. L. St. Clair secretary. An addi tional 100 books was secured from the Portland Library. An arrangement was made with the Portland Library where by the latter was to pay for a libra rian to keep the sub-branch open aft ernoons and evenings. Miss C. H. Haile is now in charge and under her management the institution has grown to its present proportions. On January 1, 1812, the Portland Li brary took full charge and relieved the local association of all responsibility. since which time all expenses have been paid by county funds. The local association has retained Its organiza tion, however, acting as an advisory auxiliary and assisting in promoting the work. It was only a little over a year ago that the Gresham association set about getting a Carnegie library, and $1500 was raised by voluntary subscription to buy the lots. APPLE "TIP" IS SPECIALIZING POINTED OUT AS ROAD TO SUCCESS. Spokane Man, After Eastern Visit, Suggest' Elimination of Varie ties Excelling Elsewhere. SPOKANE. Wash., March 1. (Spe cial.) If the Northwest is to make a success of the apple business it must specialize in certain varieties that do not thrive in the Eastern states. This is the message brought back to the people of the' Spokane apple dis tricts by H. C Sampson, secretary of the North Pacific Distributers' Asso ciation, who lias recently visited prac tically every apple state in the Union. "We need to eliminate certain varie ties that the East can grow of as good quality and cheaper than we can, in order to make our production a suc cess," declared Mr. Sampson. "I would suggest that this elimination include Baldwin, Grimes Golden, Rome Beau ties and Winesaps and that we want to emphasize and develop such varie ties as Yellow Newtown, White Winter Pearmaln. Spitzenberg. Jonathan. De licious and Winter Banana. Our Wag oner apples are far superior to those grown in the East and we should con tinue this variety. "My trip through 14 states has em phasized the fact that we need organ ization to make a success of the North west apple industry and by growing the varieties adapted to this country and not successfully cultivated in the East we can make a big success in the industry." . TAFT REMITS SENTENCES Men Convicted of Fraud Will Only Have to Pay Fine. - WASHINGTON. March 1. President Taft today remitted the imprisonment sentence of one year and one day of Ellsha S. Horn and S. H. Snyder, con victed at Kansas City, Mo., in 1909. of using the malls in a scheme to defraud. Their sentences are thus reduced to a payment of a tine of 950a and costs. The President held that the connec tion of the two men with the alleged crime was not sufficient to warrant Im prisonment. The Postoffice Department opposed clemency In these cases. DLYMPIA TO BREAK BUSINESS RECORDS New Marks Seem Due in Work Accomplished and Import - ant Laws. BRIDGE LEGISLATION BIG Governor Lister to Date Has Signed - Dozen Bills and Has Vetoed bat Two and Parts of Third To- . morrow Will Be 50th Day. OLTMPIA, Wash.. March 1. (Spe cial.) With 235 bills passed by the two bouses up to date the 13th session of the Washington Legislature probably will break all records for the amount of business transacted. The session also will establish a new record for the amount of important legislation put through. . Both Houses have passed 51 bills, all of which have gone to Governor Lister for approval or veto. So far the Gov ernor has vetoed two bills and parts of a third. He has signed about 12. Both houses have concurred in 23 memorials and resolutions. Monday will be the 50th day of the session and will find both branches much farther along with their business than any session heretofore. In spite of the fact that the number of bills on hand I several hundred greater than the number introduced at any other ses sion. The bills now total 1106, there being 457 In the Senate and 49 in the House. Important Bills Pass. Included in the list of Important measures which have passed one or the other of the houses up to this time are tne Vancouver-Portland bridge appro tlon bill, the mothers' pension bill, the teachers' pension bill, the bill creating a system of state arterial highways, a bill for a pension- for the wives and families of convicts, a bill creating a state department of agriculture and others. Action on the ' Vancouver-Portland bridge was taken Friday when the House passed a (500.000 appropriation by vote of 64 to 30. .The passage of the bill marked a distinct victory for the delegation from Southwest Washington headed by Representative McCoy and Senator French, both of Vancouver. There seems to be no doubt about the success of the measure in the Senate. The measures probably will come be fore the Senate next week. It being the plan of the backers of the bill to get it into the hands of Governor Lister as soon as possible so that if be vetoes it enough force can be mustered to pass it over his veto. One of the most important bills passed during the past week was the measure introduced by Senator Troy of Jefferson County, providing for the establishment of a state department of agriculture to take up administration of all questions relating to agriculture in the state. The department will take over the work now done by about 10 state departments Including the state food and dairy commissioner the oil inspector, the - state horticultural In spector and all his county deputies, and others. There was but little oppo sition in the Senate and none has de veloped as yet In the House. The plan meets with the approval of Governor Lister. Road Legislation Tangled. Road legislation stands in a bad tan gle because of the clash between the House and Senate and Governor Lister on the bill passed by the two houses last week providing tl, 000. 000 annual increase In the tax levy for the state highway fund. The House control wants the bill to go through as orig inally passed, but Governor Lister de mands that $500,000 a year be whacked off the increase provided In the bill. All manner of compromises have been offered, but the Governor has refused to concede anything. It is likely that if attempts to get together within the next day or two fail, the House control will muster its force and try to pass the $1,000,000 bill over the head of the Governor. While the controversy is going on the roads and bridges committees of the two houses are busy framing a road programme. A bill is being framed to cover all parts of the state, giving the various sections what they want in the road line. When the time comes the pruning knife will be applied to comply with the final decision on the two houses and the Governor on the amount of money to be raised in the next two years. The Legislature would have the amount $3,000,000. but the Governor wants the amount held to a total of $1,000,000. ' Economy Is Lister Plan Sow, One of the most important consider ations of the sessions of next week will be bills providing for the consolidation of state offices and departments in ac cordance with the economy policy of the Governor. Bills are now in course of preparation providing for the com bining of the working forces in such a way that a large saving will be maue in salaries. The light over this question Is ex pected to be a part of the dally pro gramme until the end of the session. Attempts will be made to abolish a number of offices, including the State Tax Commissioner and the state depart ment for the Inspection of public offices. Other departments will be given addi tional work. State officials, both elec tive and appointive, are working bard against the general move. Both houses will commence night sessions this week and continue until the end of the session, March 15. Be fore adjournment Friday arrangements had been made for the consideration, as special order. Important bills on three nights of the week. It is likely that special orders will be arranged for the other nights. Colonel I. X. Peyton Dies. SPOKANE, Wash, March 1. Colonel Isaac N.

Ladies' Entrance 148 Fourth St. APPROPRIATIONS ARE $5,151,225.25 Final Semi-Official Check Shows Sheer Necessities Oregon Requires. JOINT COMMITTEES PRUNE Deduction From Estimate Placed Be fore Iieg-lslature of Close to $4, 000,000 Means Slice Big as Entire Cost of Present Body. STATE CAPITOL. Salem,. Or., March 1. (Special.) Derogatory charges hurled at tue ways and means commit tees of the House and of the Senate are given the blush in the final semi official check on appropriations made toda v by James B. Allison, warrant clerk of the Secretary of State's office, and Frank K. Lovell, clerk of the ways and means committee, which shows that the total appropriations or tne present Legislative Assembly amount to $5,151,225.25. Taking into consideration tne iaci that this session asked practically for $9,000,000. with an estimate exclusive of continuing and outside appropria tions of I8.437.S1S.07, the ways ana means committees slashed to the fatal finish and allowed only appropriations for sheer necessities. Out of the $5,151,225 which has been en-anted there are sums ranging well toward the $1,000,000 mark which will be entirely repaid to the state and will not cost the state one single dollar. . 27th Really 94,000,000 Assembly. This means that the 27th Legislative Assembly may be branded as only a $4,000,000 Legislature. The assembly of two years ago made total appro priations amounting to $4,993,995. This Legislature can shave from the one of two years ago practically $1,000,000 In actual money expended and still stand in the supreme attitude of having of fered the best services for the money Invested of any Legislature extant in this state, according to those who have closely followed the situation. For instance, this Legislature ap propriated $450,000 for the rejuvena tion of the Columbia Southern Irriga tion project. This appropriation will be paid back dollar for dollar Into the state treasury and aside from not be ing out one cent for the appropriation the state will be reimbursed in thous ands of acres of productive and fertile lands, made to blossom because the state decided to take one of its own moral obligations upon its own shoul ders. Similar circumstances may be found in a number of other appropriations which will bring the return to the state close to $1,000,000. Entire Cost Totals 96,22025.75. The entire cost to the state In fig ures, which do not take into account what will come back to the state, but to take into account the continuing an nual appropriations of prior sessions for the next biennial period, will be $6,120,925.75. The deduction from the estimate ai placed before the Legislature prac away, thereby relieving that awful itch immediately. A 50c bottle will prove this much to you.

From Now Until We Move and Morrison Streets, 25 Discount tically of $4,000,000 means a slice almost as big-as the entire actual cost to the state of this present Legislative As sembly. This cutting down, pruning and shaving was done almost entirely by the joint ways and means commit tee. The protests of the minority members that the ways and means committees were dictatorial and were throwing bills into the Legislature to be carried through by the steam roller are pro tests which now show on the very face of the facts that they were dictated purely and solely by political motives. While the figures here given do not show conclusively or finally the official estimate of the appropriations of this session, they are so nearly correct as to vary but a few hundreds of dollars in one direction or another. Two years ago the Legislative Assembly was saved on the books approximately $700,000 by appropriations that were referred to the people and defeated. ' Aged Mian Dies on Sidewalk.
