OYER M' BRID E'S VETO
Three Bills PasseS in the Wash
ington Senate,
TEN -TRUNK HIGHWAY FUND
Bounty on Wolves and Coyotes, and
Reimbursement of Five Counties
for Money Paid In Error
Now Go to Mead.
OLYMPIA, "Wash.. Jan. 26. (Special.)
The omnibus road bill of the last ses
sion of ,the Legislature, which was
vetoed by Governor McBride, passed
the Senate this morning with only the
-vote of Christian and Palmer recorded
against It. Senators Clapp, Graves,
Hunter and Sharp were absent. The
bill not only appropriates 5100,000 for
the construction and repair -of ten trunk
line roads, but also provides for a
Highway Commissioner, making an ap
propriation of $10,000 to pay his salary
and expenses.
Before the bill passed Senator Chris
tian raised a question as to the val
Idlty of the title, which makes no men
tion of the Highway Commissioner. He
thought a careful Investigation should
be made before the Legislature tied up
5110,000. The opinion of Assistant At-
torney-General.A. J. Falknor, which de
clares the title of the bill very likely
to be good, was read, and the bill was
then passed.
Bounty on Wild Beasts.
Senator Christian also objected to the
passage over the Governor's veto of a
bill providing for a state bounty on
wolves and coyotes. The bill approprl
ates any part of 550.000 to pay the
bounties offered therein. Christian op
posed the measure on economical
grounds. Senator Huston declared that
90 per cent of the stock losses in East
ern Washington are due to the depreda
tions of coyotes. Senator Ruth said the
danger extended to western washing
ton as well. The bill passed, 35 ayes.
5 noes. Senators Christian, Hammer,
Palmer. S. T. Smith and Sumner voted
no.
The Items in the general appropria
tion bill providing for the reimburse
tnent of five counties for moneys er
roneously paid to the state as taxes
were also passed over the Governor's
veto. The counties benefited are Spo
kane, Franklin, Kittitas, Thurston and
Yakima. Senators Hammer, Hemrlcb,
Lecrone and O'Donnell voted no.
The vetoed bills all originated In the
House and have already passed that
body over the Governor s veto.
A bill by Palmer making an appro
priatlon to defray the mileage and ex
penses of the Washington members of
the Electoral College provoked consid
erable discussion, owing to the fact
that A. J. Munson, who resides In Shel
ton, only 20 miles from Olyropia, was
given 5112.50, the same amount as
II. D. Crow, who lives In Spokane.
Palmer said that the amounts were as
turned In to him by the electors. The
bill, was sent back to the approprl a
tions committee for Investigation.
County Appropriations for 1905 Fair.
The -Rands bill empowering- boards of
3oraty Commissioners to make appro
pratlons for local displays at the
Lewis and Clark Fair was up In the
Seiate, and an effort Indefinitely to
postpone the bin failed. It was finally
passed. Senators Boone, Brown. Chrls-
tf. Earlos. Hammer. Hemrlch and
Pamer voting Against It.
The Senate also passed Tucker's bill
when, makes It a misdemeanor for any
parent to abandon a child under 16 or

LINTHICUM AND SMITH AGREE
Bill on Appeal In Criminal Cases
Passes Without Opposition.
SALEM. Or.. Jan. 26. (Special.) A
bin to regulate appeals in criminal
cases passed the House this mornlnsr
without opposition. The bill was In

been refused.
"The Supreme Court has adopted the
rule that It 'will not consider the ques

of obliterating all right of appeal or of
making the appeal stay the execution.

IDAHO AS A. MODEL
rrigation Laws Aid the Gov
ernment Work.' .
OREGON MUST HAVE A CODE
Government Will Expect Protection
From Litigation Before Spending
Its Money In This State,
Says Engineer Whistler.'
SALEM, Or., Jan. 26. (Special.)
"It Oregon had irrigation laws such
as those in Idaho, I think the United
States would now have under way rec
lamation projects in this state." This is
the assertion made by John T. Whistler,
engineer In charge of the Government
reclamation work In Oregon. Mr.
Whistler was before the Joint lrriga
tlon committee of the Legislature to
night, and this statement was made in
answer to questions put to him by
members of the committee.
The engineer did not ask that, this
Legislature pass any laws on the Bub
Ject of Irrigation or recommend any
particular bills, but gave the commit
tee to understand that It Oregon ex
pects the Government to spend any
money 'In this state it will be well to
pass laws that will protect against
men who might try to file water rights
on streams which the Government ex
pects to use and also against men who
might try to hamper the reclamation
work with litigation.
The proposed Irrigation code was
condemned by Attorney A. C. Ham
mond, of Grant's Pass, as not only need
less and unwise, but vicious. Ham
mond's principal objections were that
the proposed law gives the State En
gineer almost arbitrary power; that it
forces expensive legislation upon own
ers of small water rights who are in
peaceful possession, that It proposes to
authorise one Individual to condemn an1
other's property; that It abolishes rl
parlan rights and that It creates an ex
pensive Irrigation department.
D. "W. Ross, Government Engineer in
Idaho, answered many questions re
gardlng the law In his state, and said
that since one or two men on a stream
cannot control the use of the water,
there must be some official vested with
the oower to measure the water and
distribute it to users. In Idaho sur
veys have cost from 3 to 5 cents per
acre for territory served by the streams
measured. The chief fault with the
Oregon law Is that It provides no meth
od of determining the rights of owners
uoon stream and enforcing decrees.
In its general features Ross approved
the proposed Oregon code, but admit
ted there might be some objectionable
features. He was very firmly of the
opinion that an Irrigation law should
be passed at this session oi tne oegis
lature.
ACCUSES SUPERINTENDENT.
Affairs at Penitentiary WIH Be In
vestlgated.
SALEM. Or.; Jan. 25. (Special.) The
phanres of cross Irregularity and ml sap
oronrlatlon of funds which have repeated
ly been made by L. H. McMahan, will be
Investigated by the state legislature, in
accordance with a resolution Introduced
today by Senator Brownell and adopted
by the Senate.
These charges were aa) the subject
of a suit in the Circuit Court some time
ago, when the court dismissed the suit on
the ground that the Governor has sole
control of the expenditures at the prison.
Another suit was brought a few days ago
to enjoin the alleged misappropriation of
funds, and It is now pending. Brownell's
resolution follows:
Whereas. L. H. McMahan has specifically
charged that C W. Jamem. the present Su
perintendent of the Oregon State Penitenti
ary, has misappropriated to his private
use and the private use of Warden Curtlss
more than $2000 of the betterment fund.
Whereas. The said McMahan has specific
ally charge dthat the said Superintendent
and the said Warden supply their private
families with groceries, meats, provisions,
etc.. and pay therefor out of the general
fund set apart for the support and main
tenance of the Oregon State Penitentiary.
Whereas. The said McMahan has specific
ally cherged that the said Superintendent
and the said Warden compel convicts to be
servants in their families, contrary to the
plain provisions of the statutes.
Whereas. The said McMahan has specific
ally charged that said Superintendent and
said Warden have accepted valuable pres
ents from the mother of a convict and
thereafter Immediately gave that convict
unusual privileges and put him on double
time, contrary to law.
Whereas. Said McMahan has specifically
charged that the bookkeeper at the Peni
tentiary has been and is allowed, by the Su
perintendent to keep at the prison from
one to two horses, cared for by the con
victs and fed at the expense of the state.
Whereas. The said McMahan has specific
ally charged that the matron at the Pen
itentiary does not attend to the duties of
her official position and does not earn her
salary.
Whereas. If said charges are true, the

charges that may properly come before said

Third House at Salem Composed of
Various Interests.
SALEM. Or.. Jan. 36. Special. The
lobby swarmed with notables today, but
they did not-seem to have much to do.
The busiest outfit were the District At
torneys and their cohorts. The Hot LaKe
potentates were sweating for secession
from Union County, representatives of
telephone and express companies were
pulling against taxation of their gross
earnings, and a bunch oi gentlemen in
war paint were fighting the proposed new.
irrigation code, and a smaller bunch was
on the warpath against the creation of
the proposed irrigation bonding; district in
Malheur County.
The Anti-Saloon League and Prohibition
party magnates were not in evidence, for
they had gone home under promise that
the bill for amending the local option act
will not be taken up by the revision of
laws committee until next week. No lob
byists for the liquor Interests have been
trying persuasions.
The Governor has allowed the informa
tion to percolate Into the camp of the
local option revisionists that he does not
consider the emergency clause on the tail
end of their bill as rightfully and
truthfully belonging there, and that un
less -he can be convinced of the necessity
of the act for the Immediate preservation
of the public peace, health or safety he
will veto It. The revisionists arc very
much perturbed and the stand of -the
Governor Is likely to make them change
their plans.
Without an emergency clause in the act
putting it into effect as soon as approved
by the Governor, the act Is liable to
referendum, whereby It could not become
operative until approved by n majority of
the electors of the .state Th June, 1S06. The

nounced and the protests were so strong
that Governor Chamberlain ignored the
nominations and appointed a roan of his
own choosing.
Senator "Wright's bill, S. B. 167, provides
tbat the Governor shall make appoint
ments after the expiration of the terms of
the present Incumbents. It also requires
the State Board of Examiners shall grant
to any person a certificate of admission
to practice dentistry upon such person
showing by affidavit that he has been in
the actual practice of dentistry In this
state for five years prior to January 1,
1903.
The last section of Wright's bill is
rather remarkable, for the reason that it
seems to prohibit advertising or using the
letters D. D. S., whether one has been
admitted to practice dentistry or not. The
section reads:
"Any one advertising to practice den
tistry in newspaper, circular or otherwise,
or shall append the letters 'D. D. S.' to
his or her name, shall be prima facie evi
dence that such person Is guilty of vio
lating the provisions of this act."

voted "No," for he believed he was re
sponding to the question, "Shall the
bill be Indefinitely postponed?"
Those who opposea passage were
Linthlcum of I'iltnomah and Speaker
Mills, who called Miles of Yamhill to
the chair when he took the floor. Lin
thlcum argued that the bill was out of
harmony with the corporation policy
which had been in force in Oregon for
50 years, and "which upsets one of the
best protections in our corporation
laws." Linthlcum mentioned the case
of the O. R. & N.r of whose 15 directors
eight live in Oregon, owing to the pres
ent law. In this way the affairs of the
company are conducted in Oregon, he
said, subject to the limitations of the
laws of this state, and In greater or
less degree to the public sentiment of
the commonwealth.
Mills followed up Llnthlcum's argu
ment by saying that one of the best
corporation laws for protection of Ore
gon's interests is the requirement that
a majority of the directors of corpora
tions organized in the state. Such was
the fact, he said, in the case of the
O. R. & N.. the biggest corporation in
the state, "because the people can put
their hands on the eight resident di
rectors. Those directors are of us and
among us and responsible to us." Mr.
Mills called the bill "vicious." and
hoped that it would be defeated. He
was surprised that Smith, who posed as
a friend of the people, should advocate
a bill so clearly In the Interest of cor
porations. Smith returned to the House after
the debate was closed, but was permit
ted to argue his side of the case when
It came his turn to vote. He said that
his sole object In wishing for the pass
age of the bill was to Increase the
revenue of the state from the corpora
vXKvVa.
