IVOHX AS REVIEWED
Second Week Is Exciting and
end Numerous Bills Are
Introduced.
hairm, ore. The most exciting
rvrnt during the second week of tbe
li-gUl.itlva lesion vat the political
ruinpiti in the Senate over the Kellv
her resolution to hve the Legislature
endorse the Oregon system "aa the
best In the world." The debate, last
Ins five hours, embittered by person
a Idea, wns the stormiest heard In
ninny sessions. Jonathan Bourne,
irore than the resolution was the tar
grt at which the verbal bullets flew
me resolution waa defeated, but It
undoubtedly would have been adopted
but for the charges of the standpat
Iiepe' "leans that it was a scheme of
t'nited States Senator Pourne to ad
vertise h niself; his hard waa sus
pected even by some progressives, so,
with one accord, they resurrected
Bourne's political past and called him
fverythlng they could think of in lan
guage lit for utterance In a public
gathering.
Among those hurling verba) har
poons Into Bourne were Abraham, Al
be. Chase, Carson, Bowerman, Not
tingham, Calkins, Norton and Malar
key. The defenders of the resolution
and the Oregon System were Dimlck,
Sinnott, Miller, JrcColloch and Kclla
her. Most of the speechs were liter
ally "hot stuff," but applause waa
scarce.
j May Adopt Modified Resolution.
Senator A'bee has revised the reso
lution to indorse the Oregon System
by not declaring Oregon "has the best
eovenment In the world." This ac
tion is in line with the desire of
friends of the Oregon System to take
away the ill effect caused by the Sen
ate's refusal to Indorse the resolution
last week. Standpat politicians al
ready nave been using the failure to
indorse tte system as a weapon, and
It is to counteract this that Albee
has brought up the matter again. As
now dralted, the resolution is expect
ed to pass, for several prcgres3ives
who refused to vote for the original
resolution will accept it in the new
form.
Bowerman Raps Asylum Heads.
Jay Bowerman a!so stirred up the
Senate b" his vigorous defense of his
purchase of the branch asylum site at
Pendleton. He openly charged Dr. R.
E. Lee Sieiner, cf the State Asylum,
with extravagance; charged the State
Board with playing peanut politics,
and insisted that he would not toler
ate being placed before the people of
the state as a fool or a knave. It was
the explosion which has been gather
ing ever since Governor West sent in
his special message, asking that a
committee be selected to visit the
Bowerman asylum site and see if it
was satisfactory.
A loint committee consisting of
Representatives L. L. Mann of Uma
tilla, J. C. Bryant of Benton, Senator
L. E. Bean of Lane and Senator TV. C.
Chase of Coos and Curry counties,
was appointed to view the site se
lected by Acting Governor Jay Bower
man at Pendleton for the branch
asylum.
Both Home. Working Well.
Aside froir. the row In the House
over patronage, the failure of the Sen
ate to indorse the Oregon System of
popular government, and the attack
on the extravagance at the Asylum
and Home for Feeble Minded, both
House and Senate are working well,
the organization being on business
lines, the committees rushing. Many
bills referred to committees have been
reported back within half an hour fa
vorably or unfavorably. The desire to
be businesslike has extended to the
defeat of resolutions for junketing
committees to tbe institutions of the
state. These investigations are con
sidered nothing but pleasure trips,
which are an expense to he state and
bring no result. The Senate has
turned down every proposed commit
tee of tne sort. Then, too, there is a
tendency to hold down the number of
clerks employed, and there is also a
partiality for men clerks and stenog
raphers rather than for women.
Committee Charges Extravagance.
The management of the state In
State Asylum and State School for
Feeble Minded are criticised In the
report made by the committee ap
pointed to Investigate the needs of the
statu Institutions and the methods
used. .
Not only was the committee severe
in reference to the manner in which
th f unus allowed the aBylum have been
squandered by Dr. Ste'ner, but they
are inclined to place the blame upon
him for the manner In which the
Home for the Feeble Minded has been
filled with Inmates who should sever
House to Rent.

1'o.loubtedly the use of th. p-ohe
in state Institutions, and especially
n the asylum, the penitentiary and
he Home for the Feeble Minded, will
e continued by this Legislature, by
eason of the astonishing misuse of
.tinds, extravagance and unbusiness
like methods shown to have prevailed.
The temper of the members of the
House was shown by the Incidents
marking the conclusion of the reading
of (he report.
Fraternal Regulation Provided.
Regulation of the fraternal benefit
societies of the state and their super
visum by the insurance commissioner
is provided by a bid Introduced by the
insurance .ciaimltiee of the House.
The bill was drafted by State Insur
nce Commissioner Koxer and has
Seen indorsed by the National Frater
nal Congress and the Associated Fra
ternities of America. One of the pro
visions of the bill gives these sce'e
iies a prescribed time la which to
bring their rates up to s bisis that
will insure fulflUurnt cf their mem
bership certif.ca:i s.
Constitutional Ariendrrn;s Proposed.
Two proposed constitutional amend
ments appeared in the llcuse in the
form of resolutions. Clyde of Mult
nomah proposes an amendment which
abolishes capital punishment and lim
its the pardoning poer of the governor.
Provision for a Heutenant-governo.-
;s provided by another constitutional
amendment proposed by Representa
tive Powell. This amendment fixes
the salary of such officer at $1,200 per
annum except at such times as ho
shall be filling the office of governor,
when he shall receive the rcjular sal
ary of that official.
Changes in Election Ltws.
Changes in the election laws are
proposed by a number of bills before
the Legislature. Senator Barrett of
Washington has Intrcdu.'ed a resolu
tion raising the percentage of voters
necessary to inaugurate an initiative
petition from 8 per cent to 20 per
cent and for the referendum from 5
to 10 per cent.
Senator Carson has a bill requiring
county assessors to register electors.
This, he contends. Is a way of reach
ing all voters and saves them the
trouble of going to the court house,
especially these living in the country.
Representative Gill has a bill in the
House which provides for a certificate
of registration on which an elector
can vote when not at home. It also
provides that electors need not regis
ter more than once when they have
not moved from their precinct This
does away with repeated registrations.
The certification of registration con
tains a complete description of the I
elector, down to the color of his eyes
and any physical peculiarities. These
markings are to prevent another vot
ing on the certificate.
Would Pay Students' Railway Fares.
A bill which Is Intended to appease
the friends of the Ashland and Wes
ton normal school by paying the
traveling expenses of students living
more than 100 miles from the Mon
mouth school was Introduced in the
Senate. Students from the Ashland
and Weston territory, who will now be
compelled to go to Monmouth, will be
materially aided If the bill goes
thrtfugh. In order to secure payment
of their traveling expenses students
living over 100 miles from Monmouth
must graduate and teach for at least
16 months afterwards
Anti-Trust Law Introduced.
An anti-trust law, which is Intended
to hit all combinations in restraint of
trade, was Introduced In the Senate
by Joseph of Multnomah and may
loom as one of the large measures of
the sessian. It Is modeled largely
after the Sherman law, and hits at
trusts or combinations formed in re
straint of trade. The bill aims to
eliminate i'A contracts to combina
tions between two or more persons,
corporations or associations, to limit
or reduce prcduction or increase or
reduce the price of any merchandise
or commodity.
Total of Pupils Regulates Pay.
Representatives Belkmp anil Thomp
son have introduced a bill which pro
poses a uniform basis for computing
the salary for county school superin
tendents of the state. The bill pro
vides that the salary of the school
superintendent of each county shall
be $1,000, and in addition thereto $100 j A
