10 TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 12, 1020 GOYLE COMMITTEES OF SENATE FRAMED Li2utenant Governor - Elect Has -Organization. PLAN TO BE SUBMITTED rested yesterday by 'deputies from the United States marshal's office and charged with receiving stolen govern ment property. They were the pawn brokers said to have purchased the automatic pistol from Husted i. Wal ters the day that the soldier killed Jerome Palmer, the Portland police man. t The pistol In question was the one belonging to John Tillman, Walter's companion, who came from Camp Lewis with the slayer, and who was said to have accompanied him during the night when they set the city astir. The crime with which the pawn brokers were charged is a felony and punishable by two years in the federal penitentiary and a maximum fine of $500 or both. This is the first time that the law in question has been utilized locally, and the men were released yesterday under $500 bonds each. . tiper House of Washington State Legislature Will Be Asked to Confirm Programme. SEATTLE. Wash.. Dec. 11. (Spe cial.) W. J. Coyle. lieutenant-governor, has completed the first draft of the senate committees, and says-he feels confident that the organization proposed by him will prove satisfac tory to the senator's. He leaves to day for Los Angeles to attend the automobile show, and will return to Seattle before the Christmas holidays, after which he contemplates a trip to Spokane and other eastern Wash ington centers to confer with mem bers in advance of the legislative session. During the last 10 days there has been every indication that Coyle and the holdover senators, who controlled the organization of the last senate, have reached a working agreement. He has received a reply from every member of the senate but one to his circular letter requesting the senators to indicate their choice of committee assignments, and with this informa tion to guide him he has completed the first draft of the tentative as signments. It is doubtful If the Tay lor amendment to the senate rules changing the method of appointing committees will be called up.. Confident of Satisfaction. 1 feel confident that the commit tees as made up by me will give sat isfaction to the senators," said Coyle yesterday. "The first draft is fin ished, and I do not expect to matte many changes in it. I have endeav ored to give every part of the state fair representation on the committees and in the distribution of the chair manships. Only one Benator has yet to advise me of his preferences, and he has communicated with me indirectly." The Importance of the proposed ci 11 administrative code, s.'ud Coyle, may necessitate the appointment of a new committee to consider the pro posed legislation which ; will be sub mitted to Governor Hart and Attorney-General . Thompson, under the concurrent resolutions adopted by the legislature at the special session last March. Wor Will Be Very Heavy. "It is probable that this committee will draft other legislation recom mended by the governor," said Coyle. The work of the session will be heavy and with the civil administra' tive code and the educational code as special matters to come before the legislature, there will be plenty of work for a new standing committee W. H. Guie, representative, who will be elected speaker of the -ouse, has not completed the organization of house committees. The membership of the house being larger than the senate, the problem of distributing the committee chairmanships and as signments is more difficult, but fol lowing the usual custom of obtaining from the members their own choice of committees, Guie expects to be able to build up his organization with view to meeting the individual wishes of the members as nearly as possible. Interest among house members seems to center on the committees on roads and bridges and appropriations. The roads and bridges committee con sists of 40 members, of whom 21 were from eastern Washington and 19 from western Washington in the 1919 ses sion. Personnel of Committer. Only 18 of the old committee will be members of the new house, as follows: Eastern Washington Hubbell, Kittitas, chairman; Mansfield, Lincoln; Wolf, Pec d'Orielle; Long, Franklin; Miller, Klicki tat; Trimble, Whitman; Sawyer, Yakima; titratton, Spokane. Western Washing-ton Lunn, King; Htif ford. Skamania; Zylatra, Island; Reed, Ma Bon; W. II. Adams, Cowlitz; Gleason and Reman n. Pierce; Harrison, Skagit; Trun key, Whatcom; Spencer, Snohomish . The King county legislative delega . tion will meet next Wednesday night In the council chamber, County-City building; to hear citizens who have any suggestions to make concerning legislation that is to come before the session, or who may desire to rec ommend legislation.' George F. Meacnam. representative ana secre tary of the delegation, is in charge of this meeting. SI AGENTS OPPOSED LIFE UNDERWRITERS HOLD IMPORTANT DISCCSSIOX. SENATEDEBATES FARM AID VOTE TO REVIVE WAR FIXAXC IXG TO BE TAKEX TOMORROW. Attempt to Bar Part-Time Men From Soliciting Business Is Postponed After Debate. Elimination of the part-time life insurance man as a means of safe guarding the profession and developing- a Jiigher type of salesmanship was discussed by the Life Vnder writers' association of Oregon at its regular monthly luncheon, held yes terday at the Benson hotel. A resolution placing the association on record as opposed to accepting business from part-time men and re questing general agents of all life in surance companies operating in the city to take a definite stand in regard to employment of part-time agents was postponed until the next regular session. Copies of the proposed res olution were authorized to be sent to all general agents and life insurance men in the city. Part-time men who apply a defi nite part of their time to life insur ance worjc each year, who are agents in the general life insurance busi ness, who are training for full-time work during a period not to exceed three months, or who are employed by life insurance companies In coun try districts where they are unable to procure a full-time representative were excepted under provisions of the proposed resolution. The measure was drawn up by V. T. Motschen bacher, Joe Macken and Neil Ben nett, members of a committee ap pointed at the last regular meeting of the association. J. V. Day, agency director of the New York Life Insurance company, spoke on monthly income insurance as an attractive policy for the man with a family. He said that in-ihls experience men wno to.ok out - this insurance usually increased the size of the policy they originally had planned to take. . The monthly pay ment Insurance pays about 30 per cent more than the face value of the policy, Mr. Day said. State Insurance Commissioner Bar ber spoke on the ethics of the pro fession as a means of raising the standards of the life insurance busi ness. Commissioner Barber conferred with the executive committee of the association tn proposed insurance legislation following the luncheon. Requisition Papers A&ked. SALEM, Or., Dec. 11. (Special.) W. W.

Objection to that section of the resolution directing that the federal reserve board provide more liberal credits for farmers marked the de bate. Senator Smoot. Utah, gave notice he would move to strike out the section and Senator Thomas, Colo rado, said he would ask for a sepa rate vote. Senator Pomerene. Ohio, said he would not "help wreck the federal reserve board," and Senator Glass, Virginia, declared that section was a direct and unjust criticism of the board and not -based on facts.
