this afternoon to pay a fine of $200
and to serve 30 days in the county
jail. His attorney, Claud Devore,
gave notice that he would take 30
days in which to file a bill of ex

experience with .Judge Hamilton,
Jones, in reply to a question pro
pounded by the court, announced
that he had nothing to say.
Upon hlB plea of guilty to "boot

years ago Jones was' fined $200,
which he paid. This time, however,
he has no money and will have to
(serve time in jail 100 days In de

BILL'TO PRINTER
Emergency Tax Law Will lie
Passed Tomorrow
BUCHANAN'S BILL RILLED
Wanted to Abolish Whipping Post
Has Another Calling tor Consti
tutional Convention
Snectnl to tho Evening Review.
SALEM. Or.. Jan. 27. Much of
the mystery surrounding Oregon's;
tax law muddie was cleared .toaa
emergency measure, forcing tne Din
to go to tho printer. It will come up
for final consideration tomorrow
There is little doubt but that the bill
will pass both branches of the legis
lature by tomorrow night.
In the senate today a motion to
strike out Uie emergency clause of
the bill to increase the number of
supreme judges from 3 to 5 lost by
a small majority. This, however, may
, kill the bill on the final vote,
The bill appropriating money for
'an armory at Ashland was lnden
Initoly postponed. Bills prohibiting
I persons under 18 years of age from
operators elevators and prohibiting
the sale of cigarettes to minors were
passed.
In the house a bill was passed In
creasing tax on legacies: nlso.a bill
exemptlug debtors from certain lia
bilities.
Ituchnlian'H Bill to Abolish Whipping
Post Voted Down.
SALEM, Or.. Jan. 26. Repre
sentatlve Buchanan's bill abolishing
the whipping-post failed to pass the
Houso today. In lieu of this form of
punishment the measure proposed
that wife beaters. In the discretion
of tho District! Attorney, should be
fined from $50 to irno, or Imprison
ed In the county Jail from three
months to one year. Tho flnnl vote
was: AyeB, 21; noes, 37. Absent, 2.
The consideration of this bill was
the occasion of the most animated
discussion of the present session. In
support of the measure, Mr. Buchan
an, charged that this mode of pun
ishment was a relic of barbarism that
was tolerated in only two other
Btates In the union. He asserted that
the whlpplng-post was an institution
of revenge rather than of punish
ment; that its use does not serve
to reform the Inhumanity of the man
punished.
Favored by Roosevelt.
One of the members of the House
has said that President Roosevelt has
recommended the establishment of
the whlpplng-post In every state,"
said Mr. Buchanan. "I don't care
If he has said it a thousand times.
Roosevelt does not happen to do my
thinking."
Opponents of the measure assorted
that the reason It hnd not been neces
sary more frequently to resort to this
form of punishment In this state was
due entirely to the fear a knowledge
of the existence of such a stntute
put Into the minds of men who other
wise would abuse their wives. Thoy
also defended the existing statute as
right, for the reason that women
were entitled to some protection from
cruel and inhuman husbands.
Jones of Douglns justified his atti
tude of opposition to the measure on
the grounds that President Hoosovelt
had recommended that the whipping
post be established In every state.
Applegate, of Douglas, like Jones,
voted against the bill.

tionitl Convention.
Provision for a constitutional con
