Stated VOL. I. OREGON CITY, CLACKAMAS COUNTY, OREGON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1903. No. 13. LAST WEEK IS ON LEGISLATURE WILL ADJOURN SINE DIE NEXT FRIDAY. Fulton's Supporters Stand By Him Solidly and His Chances For Election Are Oood Appropriation Bills Recommend An Expenditure of $1,314,500. SALEM, Or., Feb. 16. (Special to The Record. ) Three was no change in the vote for United States senator today. Things are looking brighter for Fulton. He still has his 84 sup porters and if he can hold them in line until the end of the session, which now seems probable, he stands a good chance of winning out. The legislative session will end next Friday. The 40 days will then be over and for two years more the people of Oregon will be spared the excitement attending upon the election of a sen ator, unless the legislature should fail to elect and the governor should call an extra session at any time for any purpose, but this contingency has not arisen. It may be stated as a certainty that a senator will be elected. It looks like Fulton, although it may be some . one else. But there will be no dead lock and the game will run on in all probability until the last night of the session. . The governor has vetoed the bill making state officers and employes subject to garnishment. 2 Webstor's bill to repeal the wide tire rebate law passed the House but ' failed to pass ' the senate. It was a good, bill but went the way of the great majority. . Six incorporation acts have become laws without the governor's signature. The governor has signed 28 bills, 14 of which are charter bills. Seventy eight have passed both houses and 13 of these bills are charter billa Three appropriation bills were in troduced in the legislature today pro iding for tiie expenses of the state de-' partments and state institutions for the ensuing two years. The total ap propriations recommended are a little over fl,814,50O. Huntley's bill to incorporate Barlow, has passed both Houses. It contains the emergency clouse and will become a law immediatly upon its approval by the governor. . . There will be no bills introduced in the House after three P. M. Mon day, except through standing com mittees. President Brownell and Senator Booth have refused to accept mileage for the reason that they came to Salem on passes. The other twenty eight Senators who ride on passes, will accept 15 cents per mile each way. - The joint ways and means com mittee will include in the appropria tion bills $14,000 for the Cooke resi dence in Salem to be used as an execu tive mansion. The bill creating a labor bureau was reoonsidered in the House Friday and passed by a vote of 48 to 2. " Pierce's bill declaring the Associat ed Press a common carrier was de feated in the Senate Friday. The minority report in favor of the pas sage of the bill was voted dewn on a strict party vote, 24 to 6. President Brownell took occasion to explain his vote on the report. "It must be generally admitted," said the senator, "that I am under no obligations to the Oregonion. I have no interest in defending The Oregon ian or the Associated Press, but feel that I would not be doing my duty if I failed to raise my voice in opposition to this bilL I believe in securing to every man results of his own labors and do not believe in any form of confiscation. H. W. Scott and his associates have by years and years of labor and toil built up a magnificent paper and a great publishing business. They are entitled to all the advantages they have acquired by virtue of their ability and their efforts. I cannot favor or give my consent to any legis lation which proposes to take away from them the news service which is justly theirs. ' "I believe the principle of this minority bill is wrong, and it should not be approved by this Senate. I am in favor of any legislation for the rea sonable control - and . regulation of trusts and monopolies, but I do not believe this to be a measure of that kind. I cannot look upon it as any thing else than an effort to take ' one mans private property for the benefit of another. " . ' PORTLAND WINS AT BASKETBALL.
