LASHES FOR BEATERS OF WIVES
House Passed Bill Fathered by Sena
tor Sichel.
SALEM, Or., Vab 35. (Special.) Wife
beaters arc to recolvc punishment up to
20 lashes, for Slchel's bili 'to flog such of
fenders passed -the : House tonight by ja.
vote of 37 to 13. with S absent.
Only two Senators had voted against
the bill, but In the House Smith of Jose
phine voiced the opposition, calling the
measure a relic of the Dark Ages, which
would disgrace the family of every, man
so punished. Courts Were given too .much
power he thought, asa poor man would
Yecl the whip, while a richer man would
escape with a fine.
Linthicum and Mears of Multnomah de
clared whipping a just punishment for a
wlfe-beater. Twenty lashes Is the top
limit, and they are toNbe given within a
jail by a ShcrlfT. Constable or Policeman.
Justice, -as well as Circuit Courts, have
jurisdiction.
Such a bill was recommended by Gov
ernor Chamberlain, so Senator Sichel. the
proud sponsor of the bill, feels -certain It
will become a law. Yet every Democrat,
except Fawk, voted ho to its passage.
The no votes were:
Barnes, Bramhall; Burns of Clatsop, Burns
of Coos. CaMvcell, Cavondw. Colwell, Grirfln,

ACCUSES KAY OF "BUTTING IN"
Linthicum Scores Marion, rvlan Who
Supported Governor's Veto.
SALEM, jOr.. Feb. 15. (Special.) Repre
sentative Linthicum landed a body-blow
on Kay of Marlon today and got some
revenge for the part Kay took In sus
taining the Governor's veto to the Port
of Portland bill.
"I don't believe in this constant 'but
ting in' on local measures," is the way
Unthicum characterized Kay's motion to
cut out the proposed raise of 5500 in the
Falary to be paid the District Atto'rney
in Klamath and Lake Counties.
"I have tried to let other people's local
bills alone," continued the Multnomah
Ilepreseutativc. "but since others keep in
terfering, especially in Multnomah af
fairs. I am going to take a hand ray-self.
1 hear no complaint from the Representa
tives from the district affected, so I as
sume that the bill Is satisfactory o them,
and. If so, It should pass."
Kay responded that the salaries of Dis
trict Attorneys are paid out of the State
Treasury, so this is not merely a local
bill, but one In which he whole state Is
interested.
Nevertheless, the House took Linthi
cum'? view and voted down Kay's motion
to out out the amendment
Tho heavy hand of the House of Repre
sentatives fell upon the Haines bill for
tho relief of Louis Verhaag this after
npon, and the bill was defeated by a vote
of 52 to 6. The purpose of the measure
was to pay interest to Verhaag on money
paid to him by the state 14 years ago
for land to which he did not acquire title
because the land had not been surveyed.
The House defeated the bill because its
passage would establish a costly prece
dent in the payment of interest upon
claims against the state.
To grant an 'additional $200 a year to
the School Superintendent of Lane for
traveling expenses and 5150 a year for
clerical office aid while he is absent from
his ofilce, is now up to the Governor,
having passed both houses. The measure
was introduced by Representative Blng
ham of Lane.
Employes of state Institutions hereafter
will be -paid monthly instead of quarterly.
if Representative Kay's bill to that ef
fect shall not ie vetoed by the Gpvexnor.
Tho blir passed' the Senate this morning.
'Nottingham's bill to appropriate "money
for -.the Food and Dairy Commissioner,
fqr the enforcement of the law forbid
ding the Kile ' of adulterated linseed oil,
wag defeated in the House this afternoon
on account of the appropriation of 5350
-which it carried.
The 'good roads movement received a
4ift from the Oregon Legislature today
by -the passage of Senator Miller's bill to
appropriate foOO for the payment of the
expenses of annual good roads conven
tions. . "When the bill came up in the
House. Smith of Josephine opposed it on
the ground that It is. bad policy for the
state to begin making appropriations of
this kind. Ja'gger of Clackamas also op-
posed It on the ground that no good will
be accomplished by it.
"We have the best roads in the state in
' Clackamas County," said Jagger. "and
we have never had a good roads conven-
' tion. Hot air will not build good roads."
Newell of Washington spoke for the
appropriation, saying that the money will
1)0 well spent and will do much to edu
cate the people on the tjest methods of
constructing permanent highway's;
"Bills have passed both houses raising
the salary of the County Judge of Clat
sop from $900 to $1200 a .year, that of
the Sheriff from 51500 to 52000 and that
of the County Clerk from J1.&0Q. to
52000. and a Senate bill is in the House
to raise the compensation of the Asses
sor from 53 a day to 51800 a year.

Nottingham, Pierce. Rand, Sichel,
Smith, Tuttle. Wright, Kuykendall 23.
Passage of the bill was advocated by
Haines of Washington, Pierce of Uma
tilla and Coe of Multnomah.
Crolsan of Marlon said Sheriffs were
as humane in conducting insane to the
asylum as any persons could be, and
that tho bill would increase the pat
ronage at the disposal of the asylum.
'Tou are helping the Salem hog.
remarked Crolsan. "I don't really favor
thb bill, but I'm going to vote for It
and stand In with tho Salem hog.".
SALEM, Or.. Feb. 15. Special.) Three
new judicial Jobs have .been created by
the- Legislature' and" the appointments
thereto vested In the Governor, and as
the' bills creating the offices carry emer
gency clauses. His Excellency will dis
tribute the plums at once. The jobs are;

are said to be limbering up for the race
arc W. S. McFadden. of Corvnllls. and
Lark Bllyeu. of Eugene. Inasmuch as
Judge Hamilton, now on the bench in
the district, hails from Douglas, the sec
ond Judge is likely to be appointed from
Eugene or Benton. The Governor Is un
derstood to be pondering the question
whether he could make a good political
stroke by choosing a Republican. Hamil
ton Is a Democrat and the Governor can
carry out his theory of a non-partisan
Judiciary by naming a Republican like

PERNICIOUS SYSTEM IS ABATED
Proceeds From Sale of Public Prop
erty Must Be Paid Into Treasury.
SALEM. Or.. Feb. 15. (Special.) A
pernicious systom. which has been open
to -great abuse in the past was abolished
todayr when the Housp passed Carter's
Senate bill 214. requiring that whenever
state officers or stato employes sell pub
lic property they shall turn the proceeds
Into the general fund of the State
Treasury.
. At several state institutions, where
farms and gardens are kept and where
livestock iy produced, there are many
articles on hand "which cannot be con
sumed. It also frequently happens that
the property purchased for Institutions
becomes unsuicd for the purpose and
must be thrown away or sold.
In cases such as these It has been the
practice of heads of Institutions to sell
property and use the money to purchase
other property according to their own
wishes. This custom gives some officials
the absolute power to expend money to
the amount of several thousand dollars
In a year, without th claims being first
audited by the Secretary of State, as re
quired by the constitution.
In one instance it Is known that where
a state institution desired to expend
money contrary to law, and the Secretary
of State refused to draw a warrant for
the-money, the head of the institution
sold public property and used the money
to pay for the articles purchased unlaw
fully. Hereafter all money thus obtained
must be paid Into the Treasury and paid
out only upon warrants Issued upon ap
proved claims. The abuse thus cut off
has been growing for years.

PARK BILL IS IN DANGER
MULTNOMAH DELEGATION Dl
VIDED ON BONDING PORTLAND.
Amendment Has Been Made So That
Board Can Purchase Ground
It Sees Fit.
as
SALEM. Or.. Feb. 15. (Special.) Port
land's park bonding bill Is In grave dan
ger of defeat In the Senate, where it will
come up for passage tomorrow. Four of
the six Multnomah Senators present op
pose the bill Hodson. Holman. Notting
ham and Coe, and Malarkey and Sichel
are supporting It. Mays has not been
prosent since the organization of the
Legislature, five weeks ago. Under the
circumstances the other Senators arc
likely to leave the question with the ma
jority members of the delegation and vote
with them.
All that can save tho bill Is the pro
vision which submits the measure to
electors of Portland next June for their
approval or rejection. But for that pro
vision the bill would have failed in the
House last week.
The measure authorizes a' bond issue of
$325,000 for purchase of park grounds by
the Park Board, the chief aim being pur

The delegation at a conference today
spllt evenly on the bill eight to eight.
Chairman Holman, who could have
tipped off the balance, and who opposes
I the bill, did not rote, for he desired it to
be killed by the wholo Senate rather than
by himself. Consequently the bill was re
ported back to the Senate without recom
mendation. Two weeks ago the bill Epllt the dele
gation, nine to nine. Speaker Mills, with,
the aid of Mayor "Williams and City
Auditor Devlin, modified the measure so
as to allow the Park Board to purchase
whatever ground they deemed best. Thu3

Appropriation for Indian Veterans.
SALEM. Feb. 13. (Special.) An ap
propriation of $45,000 for Indian war
veterans of 1855-G Is carried In Repre
sentative Blakley's bill, which passed
tho Senate this afternoon. The appro
priation Is intended to supplement that
made by the last Legislature of $100,
000, which was inadequate to pay tho
claims advanced.
The claims are to be paid only to the
volunteers themselves and in no case
to their widows or heirs, unless the
volunteers shall have died after filing
claims. The money is to be paid for
military services, for which full com
pensation was not made by the terri
torial government of Oregon.
Delinquent corporations which refuse or
fall to pay the corporation license tax
can now be dissolved by the proclamation
of the Governor, Malarkey's bill for that
purpose having passed both houses. The
purpose of the measure was to clear the
records of corporations which have gone
out of business.
