AT THE CAPITAL.
A Veto and its Sequel Appropriation
Bill Will be Hoge-Legislathre
' Gossip. , , ' : ,
- Salem, February 7. An attempt
by Governor Chamberlain to save
$5000 of public money . to Oregon
taxpayers, failed yesterday so far
as the Senate is concerned. It was
in the veto of a $5000 appropriation
and a struggle over it has been in
progress in the House all day,
with the result at" three o'clock this
afternoon still undetermined. The
vetoed bill was a measure bf Booth
to appropriate !f5,ooo for the pur
chase of a machine to test woodand
stone, and to provide housing for it
at the State University. The pre
amble of the bill related that if the
state would provide -the machine,
the government would provide an
expert to do the testing. . -- .
The veto said the appropriation
was unbusiness-like because of the
uncertain promise relative to the
expert, and unnecessary because
the State Agricultural College Jhad
already such a machine as it was
proposed to buy, and that the test
ing operations could just as well be
conducted at Corvallis without an
expenditure of $5000.
1 ne grounds lor me veto were
complete. The machine at Cor
vallis is such as is in ,Mse by the
government everywhere. pregonJ
oak for manufacturing purposes,
stone, and iron are frequent sub
jects of test with the machine. Un
der the circumstances, the veto
ought by all means to have been
sustained. The . Senate thought
otherwise, however, and passed the
bill over the veto with votes to
spare. If the house takes a simil
ar view the state will be out $5000.
If both houses keep up th e "work
nothing on earth can stop Gover
nor Chamberlain from being his
own successor, if he wants to be.
"The Corvallis charter amend
ments are favorably reported and
are up to the third reading in the
House.. The same is true of the
water-works bill. Neither have
been subjected to ' any change, and
both will go through as soon as
they are reached on the calendar.
Most everything has to takeits turn
now on account ot the immense
amount of legislation pending, and
there are but rare instances where
even charter measures are" rushed
through. , Every member ; is busy,
a.uu js jeaiousiy g-aaraii.e nis own

privileges in the interest of one or
more iavonte. measures, o It was
expected Monday that there would
be a House session Wednesday ev
ening for dispatch of charter and
other local measures.
The session will come to an end
on Friday of next week. There is
a perceptible realization by the
members that the time left is but
short, and with an enormous bud
get of legislation pending, there is
a general air of rush in both hous
es and about the lobby. When a
member is halted for an interview,
he pauses for but a tew hasty words
and hurries away on an errand of
his own. '.
' Senator Mays, one of. the mem
bers indicted for alleged timber
frauds is no longer . in attendance
at the session.- Report has it that
he has goneto California f of his
health, Ever since his indictment
was announced,. Senator. Mays has
been almost prostrated physically
He was only in - attendance a few
days at the beginning of the ses
sion, and' it is not likely that he
will be again in his seat. '
: Governor Chamberlain flung a
veto into the lap of the legislative
assembly Monday, and' the Senate
flung it back at him.' , A ' Senate
bill, adopted by, both houses, be
stowed the right of Eminent Do
main on the-Levyis and Clark cor
poration. The right, of Eminent
Domain means that if any property
in Portland .should, be required for
its purposes by - the: -commission,:
regardless of the owner1 s 1 wishes,
the fair corporation. could enter
Upon and. condemn such property,"
paying tor it such price as a, jury,
after due hearing, in court should
determine, . The governor "did not
think it proper for such power to be
conferred upon a 'private corpora
tion and in a private way explain
ed that he had information that it
was not necessary in the "present
instance. '"A brief parliamentiary
battle with fighting all along the
line followed swiftly the reading of
the veto message. Senator Mar
larkey, who is a ready and forceful
speaker, championed passage of
the measure over the veto. Pierce
and Smith of Umatilla, 'and Miller
of Linn, took the other side. Af
ter several parliamentary motions
in which there seem&l to be, test
votes, the backers of the veto
seemed to be gaining strength.
When however, the final vote came
on the question of : whether the bill
should pass, the veto to the con-
trary notwithstanding there were
plenty1 ofvotes to pass it and to spare.
It is regarded now as a certainty
that the local option amendments
stand some show of passing the
legislature. The polls made by
newspaper correspondents indicate
as much. The provisions, how
ever, will differ largely from the
bill ; as originally introduced by
Jayne. Instead of an emergency
clause, there will be a provision
for a referendum vote on the meas
ure by the people in an election to
be held in June. Many legislators
dislike the; special election which
will entail a cost of many thousands
of dollars on the state. Some say
it is not necessary, and that the
referendum vote had better wait
until the regular election in 1906.
The postponement however, would
not give opportunity for the var
ious county tests sure to , come in
1 906 to be made under the amend-..
ed law, and that is why liquor men
and anti-optionists insist that if
there is to be a vote at all that it
shall be the coming June.
The compromise measure is the
consequence of a certainty that the
original measure stood no possible
show of passing. Many members
of the legislature really believe that
since they were elected by the same
vote that enacted the option law,
it is in bad taste for them to tamper
witn the law at all.
The bill for an additional judge
in the 2nd district passed the House
last week, and at last accounts was
in the hands of the president of the
enate. There seeins to be a gen
eral sentiment favorable to the bill,
and it is expected that it will pass
the Senate and become a law- An
other measure of similar tenor is a
scheme to make a judicial district
out of Lane, Linn, Benton and
Lincoln, leaving Judge Hamilton
what would be left of the 2nd and
naming a new Judge and prosecut
ing attorney ior the district to be
created. ; Some people in Linn ob
ject to the proposition and the same
is true of Marion and other count
ies of the district from which it is
proposed to take Liun. No bill for
the purpose has been presented,
and on account of the lateness of
the hour and the " opposition that
has developed it is not likely that
there will, be. ,
There is talk around the capitol
of an adjournment of the session to
a date this autumn. One excuse
set forth for the, plan is to enable
the legislature to override such
vetoes as the governor might ad
minister to delayed measures.
Others are more frank,' and freely
admit that the possibility of a con
viction of Senator Mitchell in the
land fraud cases has more than an
ticipated vetoes to do with the
scheme. It is not so " much the
governor's veto as it is the gover
nor's, appointment of an United
States senator as a successor to Mr.
Mitchell that is feared. It is also
whispered around that Senator Mit
chell, is ill, that the worry and
trouble incident to the indictments
might prove fatal, and that an op
portune session already scheduled
for naming a successor, would be
timely!- ' " r
It is not believed that there is
serious intention to' adjourn for a
special, session. The extra session
talk is mainly if not altogether in
the third House. The solons them
selves are-hoi likelyto prejudice
the case of Senator Mitchell by an
ticipating his conviction, nor; to
jeopardize his life by waiting like
buzzards for his death. ' A session
of the kind and on- such an errand
would be so out of harmony with
good taste" that it could hardly be
undertaken, and there are few, if
any, who want or expect it.
Nobody knows: rwhat the appro--.
priaiion diu.wiu total, xt was saiu
on the floor of the Senate Monday
that the: appropriations, woild, ag
gregate more than. $2,ooo,pCio
The same speaker declared , that it
would be a bigger sum than two,
years ago when the half million

week.
A graft pure and simple is a bi
ennial $1,000 for the Slate Biolo
gist. It iaon, hands as usual this
year. Once, a graft is started, it
never lets go. ; And it never fails
to grow. By and by the innocent
State Biologists office and the emol
uments thereof will be far more
imposing than now. As a measure
of good sense the state would do
well while there is yet time to lop
the office off.- Of far greater utility
and much more used by the public
is the State bacteriologists office.
The encumbent serves without a
cent of. salary or .expense money.
It is not a graft yet. '
