of suits, overcoats, silk and cotton

ed, showed jhat considerable care had
been used in making the selection.
BOY THEORY SCOUTED

place about two o'clock in the morn

displayed by the robbers and the ease
which they conducted their work.
Hunt has been instituted for sever

officers during the past two days. City
and county officials have been called
in on the case.

veto messages the governor said they
were not of such character or urgency
as to have warranted consideration
at the special session.
His veto included a house bill which
provided that no lodges chartered by
special act of the legislature assembly
of the territory of Oregon prior to the
adoption of the constitution of 1859
shall be limited as to the value of the
real or personal property which they
may hold for their use or benefit. It

Another vetoed bill provided that
whenever a person at any general
election in Oregon shall be elected to
any state, district or county office,
unless otherwise provided by the con
stitution, such person so elected shall
hold office for the number of years
prescribed by law as the full term of
such office.
The governor also disapproved a
bill having for its purpose the valida
tion of marriages where one or both
of the principals previously had been
divorced in counties other than their
legal residence.
Other house bills vetoed related to
methods of voting by absent voters
and increasing the exemption of tax
ation on inheritance.
Senate bill number 16 included in
the governor's vetoes. It provided
that school districts shall not be re
quired to publish their estimate
sheets under the so-called
law.
Senate bill No. 14 also was disap
proved. This bill related to the man
ner of fixing values of estates, for in
heritance tax purposes, when the in
formation was not forthcoming from
the usual sources.
The governor signed senate bill
No. 11, authorizing state banks to
borrow, money from the war finance
corporation under the same condi
tions as govern national banks.
National banks, under the present
laws, may borrow money form the
war finance corporation in any
amount they may cover by satisfac
tory collateral. The state banks, un
der the sQ-called old banking stat
ute, were limited to borrowing from
the war finance corporation only in
the amount represented by their cap
ital stock and surplus.
