BILL TO STOP IMMEDIATE USE

SHELVED.
Judge McBride Waa Ita Author But
U'Ren Received Brunt of
Witty Remark by
Rodger.
Salem, Feb. 7. Tho bill Introduced
by Representative C. O. Huntley to
prevent corrupt practice at election,
wa ahelved yesterday by indefinite
postponement In the House, on tho
plea It wa "too cumberHomo." Rodg
er of Marlon made a aarcastlc speech
agalnnt 1t In which be assumed that
W. 8. U'Ren wa tho author of the
bill. Mr. U'Ren occupied a seat with
in bar. Rodger called him the "gage
of Oregon City, father of tho initiative
and referendum," and In concluding
Rodger aald be wa glad Oregon still
had U'Ren, who had seen tho abuse
resulting from the direct primary in
Its operation, and now came forth as
tho "Godfather of Oregon' loglala
tor to lead them back Into the path
of righteousness from which they hal
strayed." .
Tho speech was ironical without
vlndlctlvenesa and created much
amusement
Campbell Repaya In Kind.
Campbell made reply to Rodgen
saying that the gontleman from Marl
on must have a noble idea of hla con
stituent If they could be influenced
by a chew of tobacco or a drink of
whiskey. Mr. Campbell ridiculed the
claims of those members of the House
who had declared that they favorod
some law such as that proposed In the
Huntley bill, but took exception la
that particular measure because it
was too cumbersome.
"If those men want this sort of a
law, why don't they introduco a bill
proposing such a law?" inquired Mr.
Campbell. "So far a tho author of
this bill In concerned, tho gentleman
from Marlon county la also mistaken.
Tho bill was carefully prepared by
one of tho foremost Judge in tho
state, one from every lawyer removes
his hat, a Judge whose decision are
less frequently reversed in the su
premo court man are those of any
other Judge in tho state tho Hon
Thomas A. McHrlde.
Huntley made a strong talk for the
measure as being designed primarily
to give tho poor man an equal chance
with his more wealthy neighbor In as
piring to Berve tho people In a public
capacity.
Tho vote to Indefinitely postpone
carried by 30 to 23, all of the Clack
amas members vote in the negative.
Tlio house passed yesterday by a
vote of 41 to 13, three absent, Free'
man's bill which makes ths Issuance
of passes by railroad companies to
stnto officers (Including legislators),
snd district officers and county Judges
and sheriffs, a condition precedent o
tho right of such companies to cxer
elso eminent domain power In con
demnlng private property and acqulr
Ing rights of way over such premises.
This bill was favorably reported to
tho house by tho Judiciary committee
RfU-r some slight amendments had
been made to the measure, tho most
Important of which were to limit the
Issuance of these passes to the coun
ty Judges and sheriffs of the different
counties, rather than to all of tho
county officers, as was contemplated
In tho original bill, and to deny to
such officers any mileage allowance.
This is tho bill or one similar to
which V. S. U'Ren Is reputed tho au
thor. The railroads claimed to bo
favorable, but It Is generally believed
to bo a real reform measure on a Bniall
scale.
Campbell and Dye voted for It, Jones
and Huntley against It.
The bill for district county high
schools, introduced by Representative
C. II. Dye of Clackamas, will bo favor
ably reported by tho house committee
on education. This bill provides for
tno consolidation or two or more
contiguous districts for the purpose
of maintaining district high schools
Tho expense of maintaining such in
stitutions shall be provided by a spec
ial tax on all of the taxable property
within the district included In tho con
solidation, and tho advantages of tho
high school shall bo available to tho
pupils of eligible school ago within
that section.'
Tho only amendment reported by
the committee, and It is agreeable to
tho author of the bill, provides for tho
i election of a board of directors, to
I consist of ono dlreeetor from each of
;the districts Included in the consoli
dation. As originally drawn, the bill
