GOVERNOR TARGET
OF
LEGISLATORS ARE DETERMINED ;
TO PUT VETO THREAT
TO TEST
SIX SENATORS ARE NOW "BOLTERS" j
Bill Giving Board power to Handle
Submerged and Swamp Lands
to be Passed Over
Veto
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan.
23. The defection against patent ac
tivities of the Governor in declaring
that he will exercise his veto ax and
ride like the car of Juggernaut over
all the bills of ho,use members who
do not line up behind him and his
vetoed bills, has crept into the Sen
ate and apparently both houses of the
Legislature are now squarely against
him.
Six senators, four of whom voted
with the Governor ' on every propo
sition that came befre the body two
years ago, bolted from the ranks to
day. The Thompson bill, giving the
State Land Board the power to handle
submerged and swamp lands in Con
nection with Oregon lakes, will be
passed over the Governor's veto in
the State Senate.
This will be the result whatever the
judiciary committee may decide on.
This much was learned definitely
from a sufficient number of Senators
to show that it is the inevitable re
sult of West's policy pursued yester
day, unless a gigantic change of heart
takes place.
Up to today the question seemed
to be somewhat in doubt. A number
of Senators were laboring under the
belief that the bill should pass, but
were inclined to the opinion that this
session of the Legislature should do
everything within its power to keep
unharmonious factional feeling at a
distance.
Now, however, the factional feeling
and the unharmonious conditions have
arizen from the executive offices. Sen
ators who have been counted in the
column of the executive on all Occa
sions have heard members 6f the
House recount their harrowing ex
periences under the lashing tongue
of the Governor's venom and declare
that they will tolerate no dictation.
One Senator told the Governor point
blank today that the state govern
ment consists of three branches.

PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT
WOULD CUT PREMIUMS
G. G. Faulkner, who is trying to get
the Oregon City council to establish
a paid fire department, received a
letter Thursday from the manager of
the board of fire underwriters in
Portland, announcing- that insurance
premiums would be reduced 10 per
cent if the system were installed. The
plan is to have four paid firemen, the
chief to receive $100 a month and the
others $75 a month. It also is plan
ned to have a combination chemical
and hose automobile truck. The
adoption of the system would save to
the property owners in the business
section $6,000 annually, which would
more than pay for the improved ser
vice according to the promoter.
SUFFRAGETTES WiN
BRITISH STATESMAN
LONDON, Jan. 23. One lone man
pitted Rgainst 20 determined women
was the situation faced today by
David Lloyd-George, chancellor of the
exchequer here, when he was visited
by a deputation of suffragettes from
all parts of England, in the interest
of "votes for women." The deputa
tion included actresses, fish women,
domestic servants, laundry workers
and boot makers, and Lloyd-George
was forced to yield to their argu
ments. Lloyd-George backed away when he
was addressed by Mrs. Norton, a
Yorkshire weaver.
"I am here with a warning,'' she
began. "If votes are not granted to
women at tht session of parliament
1 warn you here and now that the
past performances of millitant suf-i
fragettes will look like pin pricks
compared with what we will do in
the future."
Right here the chancellor declared
himself in favor of giving the vote to
women. .
"Personally," he said, "I favor the
Dickinson amendment enfranchising
householders and the wives of house
holders, but I hereby pledge the sup
port of the government to any amend
ment acceptable to the house of cm
mns." Mrs. Flora Drummond, the first
speaker, urged support of Sir Edward
Grey's amendment to the franchise
reform bill. Other speakers were
Mrs. Mary Wood, an employe of an
an east end sweat shop, and MrsAnn
Bigwood, a factory worker.
Lloyd-George listened attentively
to all the arguments, answering sev
eral of the speakers. While he fav
ored giving the ballot to women, he
denied that any member o the cab
inet would resign if the suffrage
amendment were lost.
PRESENT EIRE LAW
FAVORED BY WOMEN
The Woman's Club, at a meeting
Thursday, adopted a resolution pro
viding that the Oregon legislature be
requested not to amend the law re
lating to forest fires. The present
law was passed at the instance of the
federation of Women's clubs of the
state. Mrs. Frederick Eggert, chair
man of the trustees' Scholarship Loan
Fund, and the first woman in the
United States to be admitted to mem
bership of a state medical society,
was the principal speaker. : She said
that although she was born in Eng
land, she believed Oregon was the
best place m the world to live. Mrs.
Eggert declared she had been inter
ested in politics since 1856. The
speaker urged that the state do every
thing possible for the university and
-declared that lack of interest had
caused many young men and women
of this state to attend the Washing
ton University.
Aniuncement was made that three
Oregon City girls had been aided by
the Scholarship Loan Fund which
totaled $3,600. Mrs. Price, of Port
land, rendered a solo and responded

WEST ACCUSED OF

SALEM, Or., Jan. 2a Represent
ing that Governor West paid $500
down on a tract of land which he
bought for the penitentiary, and that
he agreed to ask the legislature to
make an appropriation for the bal
ance, $2,500, and that he now refuses
to do so, attorneys for Archie . Jer-
man, who owned the land, have sig-
niiied their intention of taking the
matter before the legislature. With
that end in view, they have been in
oonsultation with members of both
houses the last few days.
The tract was acquired about a
year ago, when the Governor was mak

ernor, with the result that an agree- immediately caught fire,
ment was reached whereby the state '
should buy the land for $3,000. 1 "
The Governor paid $500 and gave
his note for the balance, say Jer
man's lawyers. Finding that he was
unable to negotiate the note, Jerman
took up the phase of the situation
with the Governor, say his attorneys,
with the result that West promised
him that he would ask the legislature
to make an appropriation to cover the
balance. Shortly before the session
convened, Jerman, according to his
attorneys, again conferred with the
Governor and was then advised that
the Governor would not recommend
to the legislature th,e making of the
appropriation.
The $500 check bore the name of
State Treasurer Kay, and, proceed
ing on the theory that state - funds
had beerT drawn and that the state
treasurer was also interested in ' the
transaction,. Jerman went to Kay for
assistance, when, they say, the dis
covery was made that Governor West
had borrowed $500 from the state
treasurer and that Kay did not know
to what use the money had been put
until months afterwards, when the
Governor informed him of the mat
ter, and asked him to wait for it until
the legislature could make an appro
priation. He is still waiting for the
money, they say, but will not ask the
legislature to make an appropriation
in order that he may be reimbursed,
and looks to the Governor personally
for repayment--.
Jerman's attorneys contend that
the Governor in buying the land act
ed as agent for the state and pledged
its credit, and that the legislature
ought now to make an appropriation
to pay the balance due on the land.
