MANY SPECIAL CLAIMS BEATEN nenona Are Thnt Many Unrelated Items Are Gronped Under One Ti tle, Which la Unconatltntlonnll Besides, It la Improper. Governor Chamberlain yesterday af- ternoon vetoed one of the three general appropriation bills passed at the re cent Legislative session. Amour the Items affected br this sweeping veto Is the flt.SOO approprl ated for an executive manilon; $34,000 for scalp bounty payment; 110.000 for the Improvement ot the state fair grounds: 11000 for payment ot Tracy and Merrill claims, and a number of private claims. The total amount Is something over IC2.O0O. A constitutional provision makes It mandatory that In vetoing any single Item of appropriation all Items em braced In the bill must go with the veto. SALEM, Or.. Feb. 2G.-(Speclal.)-Gov- eraor Chamberlain has vetoed 14 bills passed by the Legislature. It fa declared by those who are familiar with legislation In Oregon that he has surpassed the rec ords ot his predecessors la that regard. Late this afternoon he did what many a Governor has wanted to do, and threat ened to do, when he vetoed a special ap propriation bill. Some valid and merl torloas claims have gone with the un merltorlous. but a. orecedent has been established for the alsaprovafOf(Hwl appropriation-bills which contain unsat lsfactory Items. , Under the constitution of Oregon ro tingle item ot an appropriation bill can be vetoed, and the bill had to stand or fall as a whole. The Governor concluded, after several days' deliberation, that it would be better that the bill should fall. This bill carries the 111.500 appropriation for the executive mansion, the claims, ag gregaUng 31000. for the pursuit of Tracy and Merrill; 10,000 for improvements at the. fair grounds, 34.000 for payment of claims of counties under the .scalp bounty act, and claims of W. A. Storey, O'Day and Tarpley, Alex Orme, 1L G. McCar thy, H. S. Moody, Hofer Bris., C. S. Moore, M. C. Sttrr and F. W. Dlllard, for various purposes and in various amounts. The total amount was something over While the veto Is placed upon the con- stltuUonal ground that the bill does not Include but one subject, and that the subjects are not expressed In the tlUe, yet In Its principal effect It Is a protest against the practice of grouping a num ber of unrelated appropriations in a sin gle bill so that Improper ones must be approved if any at all. Every Governor has been confronted with the same sort of blUs, but heretofore they have been signed rather than let valid claims wal two years for payment. The Governor's reasons for the yeto are as follows: Salem. February 10. To the Speaker and House of Representatives Gentlemen: I return herewith House bill No. SS3 with my disap proval. The title ot the act Is as follows: "An act making appropriations for the payment ot cer tain specified claims against the State of Ore gon, and for the purposes hereinafter spe cifically set forth and particularly enumera ted." The constitution of the state, section 20. arti cle 4, provides that "Every act shall embrace but one subject and matters properly connected therewith, which subjects shall be expressed In the title." An examination ot the act In question dis closes that It appropriates nearly 63.000 and covers multitude of subjects about and con cerning which the title gives no Information whatsoever. It provides amongst other things for the purchase of lands around and about the state monument at Champoeg and the 1m provement of the same, and appoints an agent to disburse moneys appropriated for that pur pose. It provides for the payment ot the ex peases ot the general repairs. Improvements, etc, of the buildings and grounds ot the State Board ot Agriculture, and for the purchase ot water pipe and payment ot the necessary ex pentes ot laying, connecting and Installing the same to and throughout the grounds and build Ings of the State Board ot Agriculture. It provides for the payment ot claims of various counties growing out of the scalp bounty law. and the claims of about 29 persons growing out of services alleged to, hare been rendered In connection with the escape ot Tracy and Mer rill, it provides money for the purpose of pur chasing an artificial limb for one Frank In' gram, who was wounded ai the time of the escape of Tracy and Merrill, and for the pur chose of an executive mansion. Including the lighting and heating of the same at the ex pense ot the State. It gives authority to the State Treasurer to credit on the note of one M. C. Starr the sum of 1082. accrued Interest pending litigation concerning the state's tlUe to mortgaged property securing said note. It authorises the Elate Land Board to refund to one W. II. tValdron 198, and provides for other things concerning which there is no Intimation or suggestion In the title of the act. There are some claims therein In which there Is merit, and with respect to these they ought each to have been Included In a seoarate and special appropriation MO. There are others In which there is absolutely no merit, and which would not have been considered 'by the Legis lature for a moment If they had been contained In' separate and special bills aa the constitution requires. It Is unnecessary to particularize. It Is sufficient to say that some attention ought to oe paid to ue constitutional mandate re quiring that every act should embrace but one subject, and that subject expressed In the title. If obedience had been given thereto, the sub jects embraced within the bill under considera tion would have been Included in a halt dozen or more separate and distinct bills, and there Is no question but that most of them would la ALL BILLS DON'T LOOK ALIKE TO GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN.

The Democrats forced a rollcall on' every motion until Dalzell, the acting Speaker, refused to entertain their de mands as dilatory. This gave rise to an outburst ot fury. The Democrats in caucus have re solved to obstruct business for the rest ot the session, but the Republicans have prepared a rule by which all ap propriation bills will be forced through, but many other bills will fall. such event bave failed of securing the neces sary rote In the Legislature to have secured' their passage. I hesitate to veto an appropriation bill In which there Is much ot merit, but the practice ot Including In such a bill Items which ought to be Included In special appropriation bills Is to be deprecated and condemned, and I know of no better way to call the attention of the people to the reprehensible system In vogue ot making Inroads upon the treasury by uncon stitutional methods than by vetoing such meas ures aa the one now under consideration. The responsibility which compels ma to take snch a course must rest with the Legislature, and not with roe. I therefore return said bill with my veto, and trust that when It reaches the executive ofn.ee again It will be separated into as many bills as there are subjects embraced therein. It such course is followed, there will be an end to much legislative extravagance. GEORGE E. CHAMBERLAIN, Governor. ' GAMBLING MADE FELONY CONTEXTS OF TODAY'S PAPER. National Affairs.

Jinny Attempts Mnde to Defeat Meas ure by Adding;, Obnoxion Amend ments Mny Be Reconsidered. OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. 26. (Staff corre spondence.) The House bill making It a felony to conduct any gambling game passed the Senate this afternoon, and, unless It Is reconsidered within the next '43 hours, professional gamblers will be confronted with the alternative of going out of business or to the Penitentiary. A big flght has been made to prevent the passage of this bill, "and while it was loaded down with some pretty disagree able amendments, which may Jeopardize Its usefulness. Its passage was of suffi cient consequence to throw great conster nation into the ranks of the gamblers who have been here endeavoring to defeat the bill. With them It 'is .a fight for ex istence, and tonight there are rumors of a big sack coming down to Olyrapia to be used In an effort to defeat the bill when It comes up for reconsideration. The bill was amended by the Senate In two Important particulars. One amend ment, makea It a felony for any man to rent his property for gambling purposes, and the other makes the conducting of raffles a felony. There was a determined flght against the bill In the Senate. Effort after effort was made to load down the bill with absurd amendments for the purpose of killing It, but as amended It won out by a vote of 27 to 11. with Ave absent. As 22 votes are necessary to pass a bill, the friends of the bill can lose five votes and still prevent reconsideration. Several of the men who fought the bill the hardest, including Senators Earles and Hamilton. Anally swung Into line and voted for the bill, but will probably vote to reconsider It. Efforts to Kill the Bill. When the bin was reached on the cal endar this afternoon an effort was made - to postpone Its consideration until next Tuesday. Senator Tolman, of Spokane, blocked this movement by getting a ruling from President Smith that a two-thirds vote was required to postpone action, on the bill. This ruling blocked the scheme for delay. Senator Hands offered" an amendment to the bill that it should be a felony to play at a gambling game aa well as to conduct It There was a lorlg discussion over this amendment. The friends of the bill charged Rands and Hamilton, who championed the amend ment, with trying to kill the bill. Sena tor. Crow, of Spokane, made the most clinching argument against the motion by saying that where people on botlj sides of the table were equally guilty It would be Impossible to secure evidence against any body.. Rands remarked that some Senators were opposed to his amendment because they were afraid they would go to the Penitentiary themselves if It were adopt ed. Garber declared he wanted to put the tinhorn gambler In the Penitentiary, and not his victim. Hamilton declared that the bill as drafted put a premium on cow ardice. The- amendment was defeated by a vote of IS to 19. I In another effort to kill the bill Hamll- ton offered an amendment making It a felony for a person to rent property owned or controlled by him for gambling purposes. Thla was the vital amendment ot tne nay, dui it prevailed by a viva voce vote without rollcall. and with little dis cussion. Hamilton then offered another amend ment, and it made It a felony to have cards, dice .or other gambling apparatus In one's possession, either on his person or abodt his premises. There was a long dis cussion of this, participated In 6y Tucker, Hamilton. Tolman and Hallett. Hallett said that Hamilton's amendment would send a bookdealer to prison for selling a set of author cards. Tucker said that many, many people play cards who don't gamble with them. Once more the friends of the bill won. and the amendment was voted down. 22 to 19. Public Sentiment 5ot For It. Davis then offered an amendment mak ing gambling a misdemeanor and Increas ing the present fine from JJOO to J1000. He made a speech, the burden of which was that gambling could never be suppressed until public sentiment demanded it, and he declared that public sentiment Is not for It. Here Hallett cut in: "Mr. Davis, you were onco Chief of Po lice of Tacoma. were you not?" "Tes, sir," was the reply. "Did you make an honest effort to sup press gambling?" "Well," he remarked, amid a shout of laughter, '1 drifted along with public sen timent." Davis amendment was defeated. Ruth secured an amendment making it a felony to conduct a raffle. The friends of the bill opposed the amendment, but It carried, 18 to 18. An amendment by Hamilton ln- WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. Amid scenes which recalled the memorable and excit ing days of the Blst Congress, when party feeUng ran fiercely and the hall of Rep resentatives resounded with denunciations of the alleged "high-handed methods of the majority." James J. Butler, of Mis souri, was unseated today by the House and George C. It. Wagoner was seated In his place. The Democrats -had decided at their caucus this morning that If this case was-calleii up they would prosecute, a filibuster from now until Mirch 4, te gardlesa vt consequences upon legislation. and they began the flght an soon as the gavel .fell at noon. Rollcall followed roll call, and.it took over three hours to ap prove the Journal ot yesterday's proceed ings. Then, when the decks were cleared., thn case wis called. A spirited debate of two hours followed, .and finally, after repeated rollcalls, the case was brought to a vote. The Democrats then attempted to block things by leaving the hall, but enough absentees finally were brought In to make up the necessary quorum. The closing chapter was drimatlc Dalzell (Pa.), who was In the chair, re fused to recognize a demand for division, and, Richardson, the minority leader, stood In his place and denounced his course In unmeasured terms, amid the Jeers of the Republican side- The htnd- ful of Democrat present were overridden roughshod, and Wagoner was seated. Republicans Are Ready. The Republican leaders. In deciding to force this case to a vote, did so with a perfect realization of the embarrassments which would follow. If the Democrats carried out their filibustering threat, and they htve arranged- a programme to re duce the minority's obstructive power to a minimum as far aa the appropriation bills are concerned. This Is to be ac complished by a special rule which has been prepared, by which all the parlia mentary steps for getting appropriation bills with Senate amendments Into con ference can be cut off. But "later thla afternoon the Republicans Introduced the omnibus public building bill and threat ened to vote against the rule unless It made provision for the bill. This disturb- , Ing factor In the situation was not, straightened out tonight. The Republi can programme also Includes a proposl llon to continue the executive day of to day until noon, March 4. In order to ob viate the long and tedious work of ap proving tho Journal against filibustering tactics. A recess was taken tonight until U o'clock, and n rule has - been prepared which hereafter will give a motion to recess precedence over any motion to adjourn. Under the operation of these drastic measures If Is believed that none of the appropriation hills or other neces sary measures will be Jeopardized, but the present situation undoubtedly sounds the death-knell of many minor measures. Filibuster From Start. The decision of the Democrats to fili buster for tho remainder of the session. If the Republicans pressed the Wagoner Butler election contest, caused consider able apprehension on both sides when the House assembled. The leaders were alert and the fight began almost at the droj of the gavel. After the chaplain had de livered his invocation, the Speaker was; about to direct the clerk to read the Jour nal when Richardson, the Democratic leader. Interrupted him and made tha point of no quorum. "The Constltutlou requires the presence of a quorum to do business," he said. The Speaker acquiesced, but was abla to count only 167. Thereupon Payne, tho Republican leader, moved a call of the House and upon that motion the Demo crats forced a rollcall. The call of the House was ordered. 2370. Payne then moved to dispense with fur ther proceedings under the calL The ris ing vote resulted: Ayes, 137: nays, 98. Richardson demanded the tellers, and the Speaker sustained Payne's point of order that the demand was dilatory. "Then I demand the ayes md nays," (.Concluded on Fourth Page.)
