Declaring that he did not believe that It should be the policy of the state to drag skeletons from the fam ily closets for the purpose of acquir ing a few acres of land and that if such a policy was encouraged that unscrupulous attorneys possessed of private knowledge relative to family relations, would make use of It In lit igation for the purpose of securing a fee, Senator Norton this morning took a rap at the state's escheat law rela tive to Illegitimate children when the bill of Senator-Oliver having for Its object the quieting of title to the es tate of John Morrison, of Union county, came up for consideration. The committee submitted a major ity and minority reportthe former favoring the passage of the bill. Sen ator Chase moved to substitute the minority and that precipitated a de bate on the merits of the bill. Sena tor Oliver in presenting his argument in behalf of the bill said that Morri son had died at' a ripe age In Port land about two' years ago and that he had 1 ft an estate of some 8,000 acres of land In Union county valued at $15,000. After the estate had been admlnlsttered and divided among his brothers and sisters, the question was raised that Morrison was an 11 tmdej the Oregon esehioat law he had under the Orego aescheat law he had no heirs and the land should go to the state. Depositions leading over a trail extending clear across the con tinent and on to Scotland were tak en, and the case carried to the su preme court. That tribunal reversed the Judgment of the lower court which was against the heirs of Mor rison and ordered a new trial and again the Judgment of the lower court went against them. The case Is now pending - before the supreme court and with the view of putting an end to It the Oliver bill was In troduced. . Senator Chase opposed It on the ground that the law should be con trolling but Senator Abraham and Norton favored It. The first contend ed that If there was any shadow of doubt as to the title that the lands should go to Morrison' s heirs and Senator Norton took the view that the state could ill afford to take the stand of dragging out family skele tons for the sake of acquiring lands and that It would but encourage un scrupulous atorneya to start litiga tion to earn fees. The majority re port was adopted. Kills Slaairhtered. The session of the senate began with, the slaughter of bills by com mittees. Two of Senator Kellahar's bills one providing for the revoke ment of a land grant to the 0. R. & N.; and the other to repeal the pub lic land grant were Indefinitely post poned. The ax was also applied to the house bill of Clemen alvlna counties having a population of 200.000 the right to construct hospi tals; and to the bills of Senator AI bee and Caw the former seeklnr to regulate street paving contracts; Hnd the latte mlottne to nnitt ! civil cases Senator Abraham's Ml! having fpf lt obtect the classifica tion of rallnnrt ratei was aiven a lot In the remeterv snd so was another of Senator Kellahar'8 bills relating to long distance telephone service. It looked for awhile as though the knell might be sounded over the bill of Senator Selling providing for the creation of the office of state exam iner of public offices but the report favoring its passage was finally adopted.

Real Business This Afternoon. This afternoon the senate will reach the real business again that of disposing of senate and house bills which are on the calendar for a third reading. There are among the number no real important ones and they will likely be hurried through. SALARY BILLS REQUIRE SOME AMENDING Governor West this afternoon in a communication to the house called that body's attention to defects ex isting in a number of bills providing for an Increase of salary of certain county officials and recommending that a correction be made in them. The governor in his communication says: "There have been passed by, or are now before the legislature a num ber of bills providing for an increase in the salary for certain county offi cials. These bills, or most of them, carry a referendum provision re quiring a petition for referendum to be signed by at least 15 per cent, and In certain instances 25 per cent of the legal voters of the county. Section 1, of Article IV, of our constitution, fixes the percentage for the state for initiative petitions at five per cent of the votes for justice of the supreme court, and by Section 1 (a) of said article, it Is provided that "the initiative and referendum powers reserved to the people by this constitution are hereby further re served to the legal voters of every municipality and district, as to all lo cal, special, and municipal legisla tion, of every character, In or for their respective municipality and district." "I am, therefore, of the opinion that those provisions of the constitu tion fix the rate for referendum pe titions in all cases, except in towns and cities, at five per cent, and that the salary bills now In my hands should be recalled and, together with those now before the legislature, should be amended by reducing the number of signatures required to five per cent of the legal voters of the several counties. o .

WIlt'DCA I til BILL PASSED OVER VETO Buchanan mad- an eloquent plea to carry his bill to repeal the whip iiinp pnt law, over the veto of Gov ernor West. "For the honor and good of the name of the state, repeal the whip ping post. Our constitution forbids cruel and Inhuman punishment. No wonder the officers in Multnomah mntv will not enforce this law. It relic of slavery days retained only by Maryland and Delaware. Help me to wipe out this blot on the good name of Oregon." These were a of Buchanan's ringing sentences. Cottell sustained hiin while Carter and Neuner supported the veto in a vigorous manner. The latter said it 1 was a club that hung over the head of every wife beater In Oregon. I tising, we ought to acknowledge that j this law Is a shame and disgrace to ! Oregon. On roll-call the bill was passed over the governor's veto, following ! no: Carter, Chambers, Derby, Eaton, Fouts, GUI, Graves, Mann, Neuner, Pierce, Rackleff, Shaw, Smith, Mr. Speaker. 14.
