6 THE MORNING,, OKEGOSIAN, WEDN 13 SD A.Y, FEBRUARY 15, 1903. JAYNE LOCAL OPTION BILL CONSIDERED A MACHINE MEASURE i RIDDLE AT CAPITAL Strange Affinity Between Four Leading Sills. CASCADE IS STORM CENTER Independent" Members Have a Busy Time In Jolting the "Machine" and Getting Away Before Receiving Punishment. SALEM. Or.. Feb. It (Special.) Be tween the bills for Cascade County, Tut Tlfc's Astoria charter, amendment of the local option law and the new Port Of Portland Commission, exists a strange magnetic Influence, and the death of the commission bill sccras only to have in tensified the political riddle. The Cascade bill Is In danger of gaining enough Democratic voles to pas3 It in the Senate, If Senator "Whcaldon, of TVasco. cannot deliver enough votes to the Demo crats to sustain the veto on Tuttle's-Ro-publican charter bill for Astoria. The" local option bill Is in danger of do feat from members who regard it as a "machine" measure, and who are lined up against Cascade. -' The Port of Portland bill was defeated today In the House through the influence of Senators who arc fighting the political organization of Multnomah County. Such Is the political potpie in the Sen ate, but these are only the most import ant Ingredients. All the power of the anti-Multnomah "organization" stalwarts Is centered against the Cascade bill, and all details of legislation feci Its attracting or repelling force. Several votes arc lacking of enough to 3?res the Cascade bill, and marry sorts of Influences have been tugging at the op position, some of them proceeding from Normal schools, others from the defunct Hot Lake bill, and many from pet Sen ate bills, which arc now in the House, and which are menaced by the larger power of the Mills-Kuykendall organiza tion in the lower body. Whealdon was laboring the livelong day to hold his and the Cascade ranks In tact against bis foes, and succeeded verv well, but fears that his Democratic al lies may desert if he cannot find them enough votes to kill Tuttlc's Astoria charter bill. Ten vote- are needed to sustain the veto, five of them 'Republic ans. Whcaldon was in a position to deliver himself, Nottingham. Rowerman and Mc Donald, but was hard pressed lor another vote, because his other allies, not expect ing such a contingency on the Astoria charter, had made deals from which they could not easily secure release. There fore "Whealdon wished to throw the char ter Into the House for the Kay-Newell-MU.es people to knock out. but they, hav ing sustained the Port of Portland veto just a short time before, had had enough for one day. Strangely enough, the Jaynb bill is at tached In fKime quarters for being a "ma chino' measure of Multnomah County, but the fact 1b that while the measure Is supported by all the Multnomah Senators they are making no organized effort In its behalf. In ail the contests In either branch of the Legislature the main line of cleav age follows the border between the Kuy- kendall-Mills and tho Carter-Kay clc-4 ment. The opposition In the Senate Is stronger than in tho House, and appears to have gained ground considerably since the meeting of the Legislature, but in the lowor chamber to have weakened. To day's achievement, however, gives It much encouragement.

SITE CHOSEN NEARER SALEM dence sufficient to convict, and will give county courts power to set aside the wish of the people by falling to return saloon license fees promptly. Crofton argued that tho local option law was adopted without Intelligent considera tion of Its merits, that the election In No vember shows the people to have realized their mistake, that the present law is un fair to heavy business Interests, that the law gives friends of prohibition an ad vantage In oleetionH by reason of th6 manner In which tho ballot Is printed, and that under the frequent elections pro vided by the present law constant strife is kept up. JAYNE BILL IS NOT AMENDED Senate Committee Will Not Attempt to Please Either Side. SALEM. Or.. Feb. 14.-(SpecIal.)-Thc Jayne local option bill will bo reported to the Senate without recommendation, and probably with only such amendments as ar.e satisfactory to the liquor interest's. The "committee on education will thus re port In order to put the lssue- falrly before the Senate. The committee will not un dertake to settle the differences between the friends and opponents of tho Jayne bill nor to effect a lcpmpromisc by mik ing amendments. The bill as it passed the House will be amended, so as to eliminate the provision which fays that no election shall be held In precincts partly within and partly without the boundaries of an Incorporat ed city. The Jayne bill as submitted may be considered in committee of the whole and further amended. The bill will prob ably be reported tomorrow afternoon and will not likely come up for final action until Thursday. The committee on education was in ses sion most of the day listening to argu ments of liquor Interests and the Anti ; Saloon League. A. Crofton, .manager of the Portland "Wholesalo Liquor Dealers' Association, made several startling dec larationst among them the following: "The prosent local-option law now upon our statute books will exterminate the liquor business more effectively than any other law that has beenadoptod in this country. It will put saloons out of "business. It is like a, steel rod with barbs on it, "while you can stick it into a man you can't pull It out. The antls laughed uproariously, and exclaimed: "That is just what the law was drawn-for." Crofton stated that the "Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association spent 5140,000 in the campaign last Fall, when the pro hibtlon question was presented In 22 counties In Oregon. E. S. J. McAllister, attorney for the Anti-Saloon League, said the total expenditure o the league was $4000. After the meeting. Crofton explained that he intended to say the election cost the liquor people 5140,000, because 128 sa loons were put out of business and whole sale liquor dealers lost on each about $1000. The' Anti-Saloon Leaguers, however, are not willing to accept tie explanation. Crofton asserted that the .antls are afraid to have tho local option bill sub mitted to the people, and McAllister re plied "We are not afraid to go before the peo ple, but wc don't like to go up against that 5140,000." Other opponents of the bill were Rev. W. H. Sclleck and TV. S. U'Ren. Beyond the amendment as to preoincts partly within and partly without Incor porated towns tho opposing force's could agree on no feature of tho bill. Ariti-Sa-loon League representatives say that, "if the law must be amended, they have only four changes to suggest: First That the prohibition question "be placed on the ballot, so that the voters can vote separately fqr county and for precinct prohibition. Second To require signatures of 10 per cent of the voters to a petition. Third fo have all liquor 'elections held In connection with regular elections. Fourth To exempt breweries, wineries and distilleries from the provisions of the law. The antls argue that the Jayne bill will practically abrogate the local option law adopted by the people, will make enforce ment impossible where prohibition car frlesrf will- msttte It difficult to secure evl- TAKE MITCHELL AT HIS WORD Legislators Believe It" Is Useless to Ask Him to Resign. SALEM. Or.. JFcb. 14. (Special.) Un less further startling relations ' about Senator Mitchell shall be ma3c this week the Legislature will probably adjourn next Friday, the appointed day. Some talk was heard yesterday and the day before of a council of Republicans, but it has died out. on account of Senator MitcheU's strenuous declarations that he will not res'gn. Unlaw ho should got out of the way voluntarily the present Legislature would not have opportunity to elect his suc cessor, because the prosecution Is -likely to last to the end of his term, or longer. Legislators arc overwhelmingly or the opinion- -that Senator Mitchell ought to resign, even If innocent, because the in dictments hanging over him impair his efficiency in reovcnting the state at the National capital. No member of the Legislature has teen heard to say that Senator Mitchell should hang on to the office, and If there arc any who thin he .should they are a very small minority. Senator Mitchell's repeated declarations have been road here with Intense Interest ana have led to the opinion that a request by the Legislature for his resignation would be futile, consequently it Is ex tremely unlikely that any wUI be matlc. Nor 'Ik It probable that the Legislature wili take further official notice of the ac cusations, unless something heavier should be dropped by the prosecution. nnd even then nothing might be Ione becauso the Legislature cannot put a new man m the seat until It becomes vacant. VETO IS ALL READY Governor Does Not Approve of Appropriation Bill. WOULD UNITE THE NORMALS Bill to Raise Bailey's Pay. SALEM. Or., Feb. 14.-(Special.)-The salary of Dairy and Food Commissioner Bailey is to be raised from SlS00to $2000 a. year In a bill which will br reported by the Senate committee on ways and nicans. The original bill provides 52500, which was cut down to the old figure In the House at the Instance of Caprou of Multnomah. For Bailey's oftice and traw ellng expenses, $1200 Is to be allowed, and for his deputy, 51200. Bailey says Capron jobbed him in tho House. The majority of the committee will re port adversely on tho 53000 appropriation for cottages at the Soldiers' Home and the minority will report favorably. Effort at Irrigation Legislation. SALEM, Or.. Feb. 14. (Special.) Not at all satisfied with its action in defeating all irrigation legislation at this session of the Legislature, the House will tomor row try to resurrect at least a part of the Cole bill, which was defeated yester day, and to enact some kind of law which will assure the Government of protection and assistance in any reclamation work it may undertake In this state. The Cole bill was defeated because it carried an appropriation for a State En glneer and for hydrographlc work. No effort will "be made to revive these features! of the bill. New Bills-in the House. SALEM, Or., FebT 14. (Speclal.)-The following, new bills were? .introduced in the House today by the ways 'and nicans committee: II. B. 373 To appropriate money for th Boys' anJ Girle'. Aid Society and other' char itable Institution. H. B. 377 To authorize relocation o State Deaf Mute ' School and appropriating money therefor. H. B. 376 To pay claim of John Mul len against state. H.

Ways and Means Committee Paid No Attention" to Request to Put Edu cational Institutions' Money Needs in Separate Bills. SALEM. Or., Feb. H. (Special.) "Just as sure as the Governor is a foot high, ho will veto that 51.OW.000 appropriation bill." Such was the word which tlouted out of the lair of His Excellency this afternoon, and when it entered the ears of certain Republican leaders they exclaimed, . In chorus with Chairman Vawtcr, of the House ways and means committee: "Well, let him do it. He's got one end of this thing and we've got tho other," meaning that the appropriations would be passed over his veto. His Excellency wishes to get at the Normal School appropriations, but will be unp.blo to do so because they arc hitched up with those for the Asylum, the Penitentiary, the Reform School, the Deaf lute School, the Blind School, the Stato University and the Agricultural Col lege. The Governor demands that the state Institutions at Salem be provided for in one bill containing an emergency clause, and the Normal schools, tho Stato University and the Agricultural College In other bills without emergency clauses. Hl Excellency is said to have notified the ways and means committee that tho appropriations must be made in that way, but Vawter, chairman of the Houso com mittee, declared today: "Never heard of that bofore." And Farrar, chairman of the Senate commit tee, exclaimed: "Tho Governor will never win any tricks by putting In that veto' Republicans with Normal Schools under their wings have been chuckling over their cleverness In having appropriations for their institutions hitched up with those for the indispensable institutions at Salem, but the Governor's threat Startled alarm. The Governor believes that tha people of the state wish the Normal Schools consolidated, and his advisers are telling him he can afford to defy the Ke publican mlghties on that issue. But thc.mighties declare that His Ex cellency will havo to answer to the peo ple for holding up the appropriations for institutions like the Asylum and the Pen itentiary. "Tho institutions would all have to be maintained," said Chairman Fatrar to day, "and if Governor Chamberlain should shut off the money voted by the Legislature for their support the stato would have to issue warrants and thus load itself up with an interest-bearing debt. That appropriation bill provides money for legally recognized Institutions of the state government. So long as thoso institutions belong to tho state they must be maintained, and the power to cut them off lies not with the Gover nor, nor with a minority of the Legis laturc. but with a majority. "Though I opposed maintaining the Drain Normal School and voted In the Senate to abolish it, stlU I do not see that we could withhold provision for It in the appropriation bill until the Legis lature had passed a bill to discontinue it. We cut out all appropriations for build ings at tho normals, because we foresaw that the one board of regents which is to take charge of all the schools may rec oramend discontinuance of ono or more in stitutions two years hence" The appropriation bill passed the House yesterday and will pass the Senato to morrow. Governor Chamberlain is eager to get his hands on ft immediately, and will veto it the next minute after It en ters his realm. "So the Governor wishes us to hurry, does he?" remarked Farrar today. "Well, if be will hurry he shall find that we aro not slow." Chairman Vawter was surprised when informed that the Governor was getting ready to deliver a solar plexus. "He's playing politics," said Vawter. "Thoso bills have been drawn up that way since Umo immemorial, and the Gov ernor himself sanctioned that method two years ago." One omnibus bill, however, was votoed two years ago because it made a concoc tion 515,000 for an executive mansion with various other items. Tho present bill Is understood to have been drawn up by Secretary of State Dun bar, on request of the committees on ways .aud means, which were informed by tho Governor through Dunbar that the several institutions must be provided for in separate bills. Should the bill pass the Senato and go to the Governor tomorrow, he could hold It until next wejsk, which would be aftor adjournment. If next Friday Is to be the last day of the session. But the Gov ernor will veto the measure on the spot and send It to the. House at once The bill has been held back In the Legislature thus far because Normal School strat egists believe the Governor would not dare shut off money for the necessary state Institutions by vetoing after the Legis lature had adjourned. The Governor would be very likely to do Just that, how ever, and then might convoko tho Legis lature in extra session. CASE FOR COURTS Port of Portland Veto Sus tained in House. BAILEY PRESENTS AFFIDAVITS BIG DODGERS TO BE CAUGHT State Treasury Will Benefit Largely by Settlemier's Bill. SALEM, Or., Feb. H.-(SpcciaL) Representative Settlemier's bill to au thorize tho Attorney-General to assess property which has escaped assessment. In the past and to bring- suits to col lect the taxes due upon such assess ments, passed the House yesterday. This is one of the most important bills that has been before this Legislature, for its purpose Is to compel thoso corporations which have escaped taxation for years to pay their delinquency. The bill is designed particularly to catch military wagon-road companies and the owners of other grant lands and lands secured from the Govern ment under the scripplng laws, the title of which has been concealed by the failure to record patents. Men In a position to know say that thousands of dollars can bo collected under the pro visions of this bill if it should become a law. Tho Supreme Court has held that tho Legislature has the power to provido for the assessment of property that has been overlooked or concealed and to render the- property subject to" the tax levies in previous years. Tho Set- tlcmier bill places the duty of making: tno assessment upon the Attornoy- General and authorises him to employ agents for that purpose whoso compen sat ton shall depend upon the success of their work. The tax is made a lien upon the property as It would havo been in the first Instance, and the lien can be enforced by suit. MILEAGE ALLOWED MEMBERS Smith of Josephine Protests but Finds No Support. SALEM. Or., Feb. H. (SpeciaL) The Representatives had occasion to smile with satisfaction this morning, tor they learned how much each would draw down from the Statcof Oregon for their labors performed as members of tho Lcglsla turo. Tho House committee on salaries and mileage Jackson. Sonnemann and Kuney reported this morning. Mileage Is allowed members for the Investigating trip3 taken to the various state instltu tions. Smith of Josephine entered a protest against this, declaring: "We will stultify ourselves by adopting this report, for wo have passed a resolution that no mileage for such trips will be charged up to "the state." But Smith did not find any one to second bis motion, and It died quickly. The per diem expenses for members of tne nouse auring tne session win Q3 itz&. while the mileage expenses wjll be 53200.40. xnis is a tntie more man incurred by the last session. The expenses of the Senators, compiled several days ago. are $3630 for per diem, and 51503.90 tor mileage. Resolutions ifor Duty on Lumber. VICTORLA, B. C. Fob. 14. A resolu Hon w-as passed by the British Columbia Legislature today recommending to the Federal Government the Imposition of a protective duty on lumber. Investigation of Charges of "Graft ing" Against Commissioner G. B. Thomas Is to Be Made by . the District Attorney. SALWM, Or.. Feb. 14. (SpeclaL)-Lack- ing two votos of a two-thirds majority in the House, tho Port of Portland Com mission bill failed to pass over the Gov ernor's veto this morning. To show that G. . Thomas, whom the bill ousts from the commission, accepted a 5500 graft from Robert Wakefield and J. B. Bridges, contractors for the Port land drydock, for his influence In secur ing payment of extras on the drydock by the commission. Bailey produced affi davits from Bridges; also from Malcolm Macauley. who exverted the accounts of Wakolleld & Bridges and who found two entries each of 5250. one for "expenses." charged against Wakefield, the other against Bridges. Manning to Be Given the Evidence. . Bailey made a good case, but the oppo sition Insisted that the evidence was proper for the prosecuting attorney and the grand jury and the courts to grind on, and not for the Legislature, and that If Thomas were really guilty, ho could be ousted for malfeasance and his suc cessor could be chosen by tho remaining members of the commission. The evi dence will be placed in the hands of Dis trict Attorney Manning, who has asked Bailey for It, and who promises to make an investigation. For passage of the bill over the veto, 33 members voted aye. the number re quired being 40. and 21 voted no. Tho Multnomah delegation of 13 voted solidly for passage and the negative voices camo from eight ot the ten Democrats and from. 13 of the antl-"organlzatIon" Republicans. Hermann of Coos and Jackson of Jack son, who have been steadfast allies of the "organisation," left the camp for soma reason 'or other and voted no. The ncgatlvo votes were: Democrat Blakley, Burns ot Clatsop, Caldx well, Cavender, Chamberlain, Fawk, Hunkers, Laws. Republicans Barnes, Bursws, Comett, Dob. bin. Donnelly, Flint. Hermann. Jackson, Kay. Kuney. JfewelJ. Scttlemler, Wert. 1 Two Democrats deserted the Governor and voted aye Smith of Josephine and Burns of Coos. One member was absent McLcod of Union. . Newell and Kay Head Opposition. Those who led the opposition were New ell of Washington and Kay of Marion, who contended that the Multnomah dele gation should not bring political disputes to the capital, as it has dono in Ihe last four Legislatures, and that the commis sion, instead of being the prey of suc ceeding factions in the delegation from that count, should be elected by the peo ple, or at least that the delegation should hold Its hand off. Bailey responded -that the delegation was advocating removal only of Thomas, and that it was doing so for good cause in the face of the evidence which he bad produced against Thomas. As for E. "W. Spencer, who was left off ' the proposed new commission In the bill. Bailey said Ije was not removed by the bill for the reason that the bill simply appointed his successor. Bailey quoted the law to show that after Spencer had been dropped from the Commission some time ago, for failure to attend the meetings of the Commis sion, a vacancy resulted, which the other members filled by electing Spencer, who, according to the law. was entitled to hold the place only until the Legisla ture should, choose his successor. Leaders of the Multnomah delegation were incensed at the Republican House members who had sustained the veto, and at once worked for reconsideration, but none of the opposition could be induced to make the motion. Bailey said tonight that probably no motion to reconsider would be made, and that he thought the matter would bo allowed to rest. One of the opposition against whom the Multnomah leaders vented their feelings was Hcrmnnn of Coos. Several stood him up this afternoon, but Hermann jumped the traces and declared emphatically that ho would not be "thumped Into line." Ncwoll is another object of wrath, and as he Introduced the bill for transporta tion of insane patients to the asylum "by trnlned' attendants, apprehension Is felt for his bill In the. Senate, especially since a Multnomah lender declared today that an assault would be made on any bill having Newell's name on It. The disappointed Multnomah element Is cooling off. but is vowing vengeance and will undoubtedly take it whon occasion offers. Tho onnosition was the same as that which fought Mills for Speaker and is gleeful over having, given its foes a sharp wnacK. Spencer Says He Wants to Remain Spencer was here today tolling members ot the Legislature that the bill puts him off the Commission against hi? wish, and that the story of his dwlrlng to be re ltevod unless certain members of the Commission were put off Is untrue. The aflldavlt of Bridges oltcs that March 8, 1!HM, In Vakelleld's office, Thomas asked for 5250 and that, on Bridges refusal to glvo the money, A. C U. Berry. Wakefield's bookkeper, went out and returned with what appeared to be a handful of 530 pieces, which he ghve tp Thomas. The affidavit cites that at a later date Thomas again asKou ior :?aying he was going ISast and that he needed the money, but that Bridges re fused a second time, and that he aubse quontly heard that Wakefield had paid the money. Bridges says In the affidavit that he protested to Wakefield and thnt the latter said the payment was ncces sary in order to have the bills for extras passed .on favorably by tne commission Entries for "Expenses." Macauley cites In his affidavit Uiat whon he found the two entries Tor 5500 "expenses'' in the books of Wakefield & Bridges, Berry said the money had been naid to Thomas and that Berry after ward corroborated this statement, but added that Thomas had offered to repay the money and that Wakefield had- re fused to accent it. Hailev read a letter from Fred Hess, secretary of the Columbia Engineering Work. which had a contract from the Commission saying that Thomas . had asked for $100 last Spring wherewith to go to Chicago, but that Superintendent John wood haa reiusca.
