PIERCE'S WiTM
OF PORT BILL
Each House Registers Only
3 Votes to Sustain
the Governor.
LONG MESSAGE SENT
Says Portland Lobby Has
Bullied Legislature
For Period of
. 20 Years.
(AMtocUted Prwi Ltaevd Wirt.)
STATE HOUSE, Salem, Ore.,
Fob. 6. In a message to the sen
ate today Governor Pierce vetoed
the Port of Portland commission
bill passed last week renaming the
old port commission.
Immediately after the reading of
the message Senator Hanks moved
that the senate proceed to consid
er it and without comment that
body passed it over the executive's
veto with only three members vot
ing to sustain it. The three were
Senators Joseph, Ftsk and Zim
merman. The house is expected also to
PUss the measure over the execu
tive's veto.
Governor Pierce gave two rea
sons for vetoing the measure:
First That it constitutes an en
croachment on the part of the leg
islative branch of the state gov
ernment upon the executive
branch and that in this respect
the measure is contrary to the
fundamental principles of our
state government.
Second That in 1921, the vot
ers of the Port of Portland district
approved, by an overwhelming
vote, a bill referred to them by the
legislature transferring the ap
pointive power from the legisla
ture to the executive, and hence
the port bill passed lust week ov
errides Uie will of the people
of
the district. .
In conclusion the governor rec
ommended that a bill be passed
providing that hereafter the Port
of Portland commissioners be
elected by the voters of the dis
trict, pointing out that this is the
procedure pursued by other ports
In the state .and pronouncing it
the correct and sound procedure.
In the message the governor al
io explains why he appointed five
new commissioners to the pert on
January 27 Instead of waiting un
til the terms of the old com mis
sinners expired, by fi tilting that the
purpose vs t avoid strife that
he believed would jeopardize oth
er legislation.
The executive assailed the lob
bying activities of the commercial
fishing interests. He attributed
the passage of the bill to the ac
tivities of these commercial fish
ing interests, and asserted that for
years past they have coerced the
legislature into defending bene
ficial legislation.
Pernicious Activity Cited.
The message reads In part:
"Twenty two years ago I first
became a member of the Oregon
senate, well do I remember two
very disturbing elements at that
session which prevented proper
consideration of legislative meas
ures. The first was the election
of a United States senator by the

gained from research of a special
committee named early in the ses
sion to make a study of traffic re
gulntions. The hill would call for the
"eight point" test of the United
States 11 urea u of Standards for
determining headlight standards.
The standardization would mean
that a certain amount of light
would be distributed in front of
machines at specific points with
the glare level avoided.
Only one spotlight, so fixed as
to throw its beam at a certain
point on the right hand side of
the car, would be permitted. Such
light would have to be so attach
ed as not to be movable except
with tools.
The measure would also provide
for establishment of test stations,
where car owners could have their
lights regulated to meet the I re

also provide that manufacturers

have to obtain approval of the

HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Feb. 6.
Today, February 6, 1925, ft small
group of disciples, pinning their
faith to a woman whose head, they
say, is crowned with the halo of
the divine prophecy, lifted their
eyes, to the rising sun and said,
"the end of the world Is at hand."
Mrs. Margaret W. Rowen, house
wife of Hollywood, has told her
followers that before the clocks of
this film center strike midnight
the second coming of Christ will
have become a fact and the elect,
those who believe in him and have
lived uprightly, will have entered
into their reward.
Her proof? She frankly snys
she has none. ,
Faith Is the keynote of her rev
elations, she declares.
She points to Isaiah, Mlcah,
Joel, prophets of the Old Testa
ment, and to Matthew, Mark and
Luke, who followed Christ on
earth nlneeeen centuries ago.
Mrs. Itowen wears no flowing
robes; she prefers a gingham
bungalow apron. She does not
rant, nor deal in sounding phrases.
On the contrary she calmly relt"
crates In even conversational
tones her statement that the end
of the world will come today. How
she does not attempt to explain,
for. she adds, she does not know
herself, but It will come and, be
ing practical In her religion as In
her housekeeping, she believes In
being prepared.
She says she has no Intention
of climbing one of the Hollywood
hills to await an opening of the
heavens or the passing of a char
lot of fire. Instead, she Intends
to remain in seml-secluslon await
ing whatever the day and night of
this, the sixth of February, may
bring forth.
Orthodox Branch Dissents
Mrs. Itowen and her followers
who call 1einselves the "Reform
ed Advenllst '.'hurch," had been
repudiated by leaders of the Sev

and In the east.
J. L. McShany, elder of the Sev
