TWO LAWS WANTED BY MEAD Legislature Provides for Collection of State -Liquor License and Takes Transportation of the Insane 'From County Sheriff. OLTMPIA. Wash II area 9. (Spe cial.) The closing: hours of the ninth Washington Legislaturft-were devoted to a semi-social session, while House and Senate -waited for the enrolling of bills, that the measures passed might be feigned by the presiding- officers in open session. The Senate passed a quiet evening, and at times took recesses and repaired to the' House chamber. In the House tne doors were thrown open to visitors and tne galleries were packed with spectators. An organ was carried into the chamber, and there -were; songs, speeches, "josh" resolutions and all manner of diversions to while away the time. Early In the evening Speaker Megler was called before the bar of the House and was presented by Representative Hare, on behalf of. the House, -with a olld silver service of five pieces. The Speaker responded felicitously to Ahe presentation speecn. In the Senate the- members had pur chased a gold-headed cane and an Elk's charm, which were presented to Lleu-ienant-Governor Coon, by Senator Davis. Two administration measures passed the Legislature today. One, which was suggested by the Governor in his mess age, provides that liquor licenses shall ?jot be valid until there Is indorsed "thereon a notation by the State Treas urer that the 10- per cent of the licenser required by the etate has been paid into the State Treasury. The state has lost many thousands of dollars by the in ability of the Treasurer, with the means at hand, to check up the licenses is sued by cities and towns. It Is estimated that the bill will increase the revenues about $50,000 annually. The other bill, which -was suggested to the appropriations committee by Governor Mead, and drawn by that committee, gives to the State Board of Control the custody of persons com mitted to the penitentiary. Reform School or Insane Asylums, from the time of their commitment. The effect of the bill Is to relieve the County Sheriffs of the duty of escorting persons to these Institutions, and under Its pro visions deputies, wardens or other offl cials "will be sent for the person com i iltled. It is expected that the bill will tut In two the transportation expenses borne by the .state in sending persons to these institutions. The following have been appointed on the Legislative committee to visit the Lewis and Clark Exposition: Lieu tenant-Governor Coon, Senators Rands, Clapp, Kennedy. Moore, Hutson. Welsh, ODonnell; Speaker Megler. Reprcsen tatlves Falconer. Huxtalle. Lambert. "Willams. Fulton, Reld, Vilas and Ma loney. COURTESY TO A SICK MEMBER Bill by Van de Vanter Is Advanced on Calendar and Passed. OLTMPIA, Wash., March 9.-(SpeciaL The real work of the Legislature was completed about 3 o'clock tills afternoon. when the House -and Senate passed their last bills and began the consideration of only such measures as had passed both houses, but had been amended by one or the' other within the preceding few hours. The House ceased to follow the regular oraer or business promptly at. noon. In accordance with a resolution passeUyes terday that no bills would be acted on aftor that hour. The Senate worked until l o clock. A suspension was secured of this rule howe-cr, to enable each House to pick out one or two Mils on the calendar. One of these was a bill drawn by Senator Van de Vanter, who. It was announced, was lying at death's door, as the result of a relapse. The bill bears the name of Ham mer as the author, but It 'was Van dp Vanter's bill, and the House consented to advance It on the calendar and passed it. The bill is of importance to Skagit and bnonomisn counties, ana enables drain age districts to extend their boundaries. Goods Delivered to Lumbermen. Prior to noon the friends of the railway commi5slon made good on the last two of the lumbermen's bills that were In the contract by the terms of which the rall .way commission bill passed. To reach them It was necessary to advance the bills, on the calendar, but this was ac complished, the commission men and lum bermen voting together. Both are Senate bills. One requires rail way companies to weigh cars loaded with lumber at a Junction or some other point within this state. It Is asserted that the long haul across the Continent results, in -xalny weather particularly, in adding to the weight of the lumber or shingle cargo, while the trip through the mountains adds gravel and rocks to the load. The bill also requires the -eompanlcs to weigh the cars separately and at a standstill. The other bill requires companies to weigh the side and end stakes used in holding the lumber cargo to the fiat cars as car weight, and not cargo weight A fight against both these bills was waged by Houston and defended by Fal coner. The bills were passed. Appropriations for State Offices. The appropriation bills for the main tenance of the state offices and depart ments and the higher educational Insti tutions wero passed without amendment, as heretofore printed. They carry SLSS9. W0. including all funds. An appropriation of $10,000 for legislative. acpenses. and another $10,000 for carpets, furniture, etc.. furnished the legislative halls And committee rooms at the bgin- -nlBg of the season, were adopted. This -brings -the total cost of the Ninth Legis ' lature to approximately $100,000. ' Tbe'oll-icspoctor bill was passed by-the Senate after It had been amended by, in creasing the salary of the inspector to $1800, The House concurred in the amend ment. ' Fair -Fund 'Is Swelled. The transfer of 57365 from theSt Louis Fair fund to the Lewis and Clark Fair fund was accomplished, by the passage of the Senate bill by the House and the House passed the other bill re quested by the Fair Commission, which prohibits scalping -of railway tickets. The bill appropriating $5000 for ex penses of litigating the boundary dis pute between Washington and" Oregon passed. A total of 24 House bills were passed by the Senate. Among them is Black more's bill changing the name of School for Defective Youth to the State-1 School, for the' Deaf and Blind. This change was made desirable by the passage earlier in the session . of a bill creating a new school for the feeble-minded at Medical Lake, to which the feeble-minded Inmates of the "Vancouver school will be transferred. Anti-Graft Bill Passed. What is known as the anti-graft bill -was among the House bills that passed the Senate. It prohibits employes from receiving presents for favors given or work done, and is Intended to do away with the increasing practice of making gifts to purchasing agents by those from whom articles or goods may be purchased. It includes within its pro visions public officers and their em ployes. A bill passed today establishing a fish hatchery on the east bank of the Lewis River, a tributary of the Colum bia. A new game law creating the office of Deputy Game Warden, prohibiting the hunting of waterfowl on the Co lumbia River in certain counties and making other regulations, a synopsis of which has been printed, passed the Senate. Regulation of Nursery Business. The Horticultural Society's bill., in troduced in the House by Lee John son, passed. It permits the Governor to designate the location of the Horti cultural Commissioner's office, provides for the appointment of County Horti cultural Commissioners and deputies; licenses tree dealers and regulates In a general way the nursery business and care of orchards. The McCoy bill, appropriating $12.- 000 for the purchase of 120 acres of land to add to the farm of the Statu Reform School at Chehalis, passed. The Reld bill, providing for an excise tax on express companies, was killed by the Senate. The reason given for the opposition was that the Railway and Tax Commissions could handle the matter. ACTION AGAINST NEW COUNTIES Supreme Court Asked to Settle Ques tion in Idaho. BOISE. Idaho, March 3. (Special.) An action was begun in the Supreme Court this afternoon to test the consti tutionality of the act abolishing Koot enai County and creating the counties of Lewis and Clark out of its territory. Edwin McBee. of Rathdrum, presented an application for a writ of mandate against Edwin Doust. Sheriff of Koot enai, and now Sheriff 6f Lewis County? The petition is on behalf of Charles A.y McDonald, Sheriff of Clark County. It sets forth that he has made demand on Doust for prisoners held for of fenses committed in that portion of Kootenai County now embraced In Clark, and also for property belonging to Clark County, -all of which has beon refused by Doust. Ezra R. Whltla, County Attorney of Clark County and ex-Attorney of Kootenai County, Joins McBee in signing the petition. The al ternative writ was Issued returnable on March 20 at Lewis ton, Ida"ho. While Doust has qualified as Sheriff of Lewis County, it Is understood he wishes to have the matter settled. In fact, all the parties in this action ap pear to be antl-divlslonlsts, perfectly -willing to have the act held unconstitu tional. It Is therefore probable that the -divlslonlsts will, come into the case at some stage of the proceedings. George H. Ross, Treasurer of old Kootenai and now Treasurer of Lewis, is understood to take the same stand as Doust. and It is stated he will pursue the same course -with respect to the county funds. It will be set up by Doust In his answer, among other things, that the Legislature has no power to remove a county seat, as. was done in this case, and that it has no power to abolish a county and leave it without government for any period of time. Further, it will be alleged that no provision has been made for the county debt, though provision probably has been made for its distribution. There are several other points Involved, It 1b understood. EIGHT BULLETS IN THE BODY Trial of Foster for the Murder of His Mother-ln-Law Under Way. BAKER 'CITY. Or.. March 9. The Fos ter murder trial began In the Circuit Court here this afternoon before Judge Eakin- A jury was secured without much trouble. The result of the autopsy, which was hold Juet after the first trial last Fall, when the Jury failed to agree, was made public In the opening state ment of 'District Attorney Lomax to the Jury. Foster has insisted from tho first that the shooting was the result of a mistake: that he took his mother-in-law for a burglar. He stated before the Coroner's Jury that he shot her while she wan standing In the kitchen In -the dark, and- that he fired five shots, one to frighten the supposed burglar, and the other four took effect In the body of the deceased The District Attorney stated that the evidence would disclose that eight bullets were fired Into the body, and that the course of the bullets was such that they could not have been fired while the body was standing erect, but, on the contrary. the evidenco would tend to show that thr bullets wore fired at the prostrate form of the deceased. The Inference to tx drawn Is that the state will try to show that she was shot while she was In bed. The statement of Senator Rand, for the defense, was to the effect that they would establish beyond the reason of a doubt that the killing was the Tesult of miBtaken identity. Protective Association Organized. PENDLETON. Or.. March 9. (Spe claL) The business moo of the city to night organized the Pendleton Protec tive Association- The general plan of the organization is along the same lines as" the Portland association. The officers elected were: President. Leon Cohen: vice-president. W. E. Brooks; secretary. Lee Toutsch: treasurer. G. A. Bobbins. Among the matters discussed at to night's meeting were- the adjustment of the electric light rates, excessive rents and the peddlers' nuisance. The association was organized with over 30 charter members. More Washouts In Arizona. . LOS ANGELES, March 9.

PROTEST ON EXTRAVAGANCE Hint That Kuykehdall Had a Per sonal Interest in Drain Normal Schoof When He Left Chair to Support on Floor. SALEM. Or.. March 9. fSpeclal.) Ref erendum petitions demanding that the $1,000,000 appropriation bill be submitted to a vote of the people- were circulated in Salem today, and, strange as it may eeem, they received the signatures of many citizens. Because . holding up the appropriation bill will hurt Salem more than any other "part of (he state it has been thought that no petitions for the ref erendum would be circulated here, and, it circulated, that they -would receive few signatures. This supposition was not well founded, though it is etlU believed that the referen dum movement will have less encourage ment here than in other parts of the state. Those who are signing the petitions here are chiefly men who have been advo cates of retrenchment in public expendi tures and reduction of taxes. Men who took a prominent part in the citizens' movement in Salem a few years ago and forced a reduction of expenses until the city lived within its income are aiding the referendum petitions- on the appropri ation bills. They are not opponents of the four-normal-school system alone, but believe the Legislature was extravagant in many ways and that the disapproval of the people should be shown. These men object to the log-rolling method of passing appropriation bills, by which the Legislature made up omnibus bills which it was thought the Governor would veto and the people would not vote down. Men who favor the referendum listen to the statement that holding up the ap propriation bill will cost $100,000 In pay- mont of interest and increased cost of sup plies, and reply that "It will be worth all it costs. The Legislature must be taught some time that this way of doing bus! ness won't go, and It won't cost any more to do it now than some other year." While the initiative method of settling the Normal School question moots with approval among men best Informed upon state affairs, the leaders in the referen don? movement refuse to see in that a reason why they should deelst in their effort to defeat the omnibus appropria tion bill. The fact that tne menus, or the Normal Schools express themrclvfe&J as favorable to the Initiative plan only serves to make the referendum leaders more determined, for they do not believe the friends of the Normals would help the Initiative movement If It were started. President Kuykendall, of the State Sen ate, and Speaker Mills, of the House, are coming In for a large part of the criti cism in the discussion over the referen dum. It is asserted that when Senator Haines' bill to abolish the Drain Normal was under consideration In - the Senate, President Kuykendall left the chair and took the floor to defeat the bllL It Is said that in the- discussion he asserted that he had no personal interest in the matter except such as arose from the fact that he lived at Drain many years, began the practice of his profession at that place and knew every hill and tree and stump in that vicinity. Now it is charged that President Kuy kendall had a further personal interest. since he has been for many years a mem ber of the board of regents of the Drain Normal and has a daughter on tho pay roll at that institution. Complaint is made against Speaker Mills on account of a refusal to recognise Rep resentative Smith, of Josephine, who de sired to speak In opposition to raising the appropriations for the normal schools. Before the bill passed the House, in the first instance, the proposed appropria tlons were cut down about $20,000. In the Senate the figures were put back to the amounts the ways and means com mlttee recommended. When the bill went back to the House for concurrence in the Senate amendments. Smith wanted to op pose concurrence, but was not recognized In response to his demand, his written protest against the refusal to recognize him was entered In the House Journal. -It Is now alleged that if the raise in the appropriations had been discussed the House would have refused to concur. There have been reforms in the manner ofjlrawing appropriation bllla in recent years, and tho present agitation Is pretty certain to bring about further reforms, regardless of whether the referendum petitions shall be filed. A few years ago it was the practice to make all the ap propriations in one bill. At the last two sessions the appropriations were separated into three bills, and at this session seven bills were prepared. Since the people have secured the referendum power and manifest a willingness to use It, it is quite certain that no more omnibus ap propriation bills will be passed. READY TO SERVE. (Continued irotn Firs Paget the state little or nothing, that Is the proper way out of the dilemma. But as for promising to take up no othe: matters of legislation than the appro prlation bill, they will flatly refuse. "Who is Governor Chamberlain," they ask," "that he is more responsible to the people than ircr One member said yesterday that the Legislature might properly take up one or more of the gambling bills which were lost, strayed or stolen at the regu lar session. Another remarked that the local option law needed reinedles much as ever. A third said that sev eral of the Governor's vetoes needed attention from tne legislature, even though jv precedent was set at the last Legislature against talcing up vetoes. A fourth announced that the Portland charter ought to be amended so bs to raise the salary of the City Engineer from $2400 to $3000. A fifth declared he was going to make an effort for the repeal of the -Colwell bllL which will tax the whole city 2 mills a year for bridges. These- are some opinions ex pressed: Senator C W. Hodaon Favors spe clal session, but will promise the Gov ernor nothing. Will serve without pay. Senator Herbert Holman No objec tion to special session: is .willing to serve without pay. but Is reticent about agreement as insisted on by the Gov crnor. Senator C. Wi Nottingham Thinks special session opens a way out of the difficulty and I willing 1o take up- no other matter of legislation thin the appropriation bill. " Senator Dan J". MalarkcyFavors special session without pay to members and will agree to legislate on no other matter than the appropriation bilL senator SIg Sichel Not unfavorable. Will not pledge himself to the Governor. and if any other question than that ot the Normals comes up as demanding at tention, he would insist -on exercising his. full prerogative as a Legislator. au tne roregoing senators tnintc me Normal Schools should be lessened in number. Senator H. W. Coe Absent-from the city. s - Speaker Mills Noncommittal. Representative S. B. LInthlcum Has not fully considered the matter. Representative W. M. Killlngsworth Advocates special session. Wishes Normal School system changed and de clares himself In favor of one central institution; will serve without pay. Representative Albert J. Capron Favors extra session and abolition of superfluous Normal Schools and will contrlbuto his services without com pensation, but will make no pledge as to other legislation. Representative W. T. Muir said last evening: "I am wllllng'to serve with out pay, but I do not wish to be bound by any agreement." He said that he was opposed to so many Normal Schools but that he would not say in advance how he would vote in Salem. Representative Elmer B. Colwell said: "I think It is the duty of every member to go to Salem without pay and do what they had the chance to do at the regular session. We didn't do it and we should make up for it. It will not take much time nor money." CLACKAMAS MEMBERS IN LINE Ready to Rid State .of Burden of Ex tra NormaP Schools. OREGON CITT. Or.. March 9. (Spe cial.) Interviewed on Senator Haines plan for a special session of the State Legislature, members of the Clackamas County delegation expressed them- elves as follows: Senator G. C Brownell I voted against the appropriation bill, as I thought the appropriations were alto gether too heavy for a state having a population ot less than 500,000. While would be in favor of an extra session and be willing to attend without pay or mileage, still it might be a good Idea, if it were not for the expense, to let the people use the referendum and sit down once tor an on the extravagant appro priations that are made every year. Many of these are absolutely unnecessary, unjust and an outrage on the taxpaying public. I think the Gov ernor is right on this whole subject. and it is Just these kind ot blunder and actions that makes it possible and entirely probable that George C Cham berlain will be re-elected Governor ot the state, as a Democrat. Representative C. G. Huntley I will gladly serve without pay at a special session of the State Legislature for the purpose of enacting separate bills for the Normal Schools and for other state Institutions. Representative Frank Jagger I did what I could to adjust these Normal School appropriation at the regular session, but it there Is any assurance that the Legislature will cut down tho Normal School appropriations I would favor calling an extra session of the Legislature. I would give my time gratis. YAMHILL LEGISLATORS FAVOR Would First Have Assurance That Some -Normals Will Be Eliminated.' M'MINNVILLE, Or., March 8. (Special.) The Legislators of Yamhill County ap prove of the plan of Senator Haines for an extra session of tho Legislature to settle the Normal School appropriation trouble. Senator G". S. Wright gives his hearty approval as he has considered and suggested the same solution to several of the Legislators. The Yamhill mem bers worked against the unnecessary ap propriations and are desirous of adjusting the matter in the best possible way. Senator Wright said: "I am heartily in favor of holding an extra session to settle this appropriation trouble and will serve without pay pro vided that the majority of the members of the House and Senate will agree to abolish all but one or two Normal Schools, and vote for actual running expenses of state institutions. I worked against the bill when it came up in the Senate and believe some of the appropriations unjust. Some of the general appropriations for the state institution aro Just and should be allowed, but some of them I consider unjust, and I would not favor an extra session If all the appropriations were voted for; that would but make a. bad matter worse." Representative F. H. Caldwell stated that he would be willing to serve at an extra session without pay provided that all normals but one be cut out and no appropriations mado for other than actual running expenses of the state institutions. He seems very favorable to the plan. FAVOR WITH SOME CONDITIONS Umatilla Senators Would Save Money for the State. RENDLETON. Or., March 9. (Special.) Concerning Senator Haines' scheme for an extra session ot the Legislature, Sen ator C. J. Smith tonight said that he was in favor of the plan under certain con dltions. He believes that something ought to be done to relieve the Normal School situation and that the cheapest and mos practical thing- was to call an extra sea sion and enact separate bills for the schools. He believes that the Legisla tors should be paid for the extra work. but tha even if It cost tho state $7000 It would ne Detter tnan to pay out a large amount of interest upon money borrowed to operate necessary state institutions. Senator W. M. Pierce Is also In favor ot an extra session In so far as the pur pose will be to provide means to conduct tho Normal Schools by regular appropria tion. SAVING OF EXPENSE TO STATES Cornett of Linn Will Serve Without Expense to State. ALBANY. Or., March 9. (Special) Representative Frank v. cornett, ot Linn, is inclined to favor Senator Haines' proposal for a special session of the Legislature. He said that he believed that a session would cost the state much less than a referendum vote on the appropriations bill and would also accomplish more. "Personally, I favor the session." ho said, "and will be willing to serve without pay or mileage. WOULD DRIVE HOME LESSON Senator Miller Believes In Referen dum, Not Extra Session. LEBANON, Or.. March 3. (Special.) Senator M. A. Miller, of Linn County. gave his views on the calling of an extra session of the Oregon Legislature as fol lows: "Permit me to say that I am opposed. The regular session opposed every pro posal toward dropping one or more of the Normal Schools from the list of assisted enterprises, or any steps to ward economy, but was extravagant in the extreme. The State University, the Agricultural College, the four Normal Schools and Salem formed a combination and through the ways and means com mlttee presented the omnibus bill which was passed and to which the people make such serious oojecuon. "Had It not been for the Governor this bill would have been passed with an emergency clause attached and would. If they had bad their desires fulfilled, been a law today. Therefore. I am in favor of referendum to teach them a much leeded lesson" and one that future Legls latcrs will not forget. It may be that some -of. the umbers of the Legislature, like Paul of old. have experienced a sudden conversion and now see the. error of their ways, and would like to have an opportunity to square themselves before the people, but they should have tnougnt of this at the regular session." CHANCE FOR A LEGAL TANGLE Is Appropriation Measure a Bill or a Law? EUGENE. Or.. March 3. (Special.) On the proposal of Senator Haines, -as publlshcdIh The Orcgonlan, tho mem bers from this county were interviewed this evening with the exception of Mr. Edwards, who could not be reached. Senator Booth said: "I am not in favor of it. If they want to bring the matter up to the voters, let them take tho initiative and bring it up at the next general election. It could be done at that time without extra expense to tho state. 'I am not infavor of an extra session at alL" Senator Kuykendall expressed him self as follows: "The proposal for a special session does not grow upon me as I think over it. There is doubt in my mind as to our power to amend or repeal the bill to which objection Is raised. It has passed out of the hands ot the Legisla ture and that body- has adjourned, but it has not yet become a law. Can we amend It as a law or can we recall it as & bill and reconsider it? I think we are liable to get into a legal tangle. "I have not changed my mind as to the bill. It is good and ought to stand as it is. I do not say that I would not consent to its division to savo money to our state. I will not .bind myself as to my action if a session Is called fur ther than I am bound by my oath as a Senator and my duty as a member to do the very best thing according to the light I may have. "If called, I would favor tho Legisla ture submitting bills to abolish each ot the Normal Schools, so that the people could definitely settle that question and put an end to this strife. I would nave the vote on them at the next regular election, so as to give the present furore time to subside, and to give the people time to study the question." Representative Griffin said he would be willing to go back on a call of tho Legislature for two or three days, and the question of pay was no consideration. Ho says: "I am willing to do anything reason able to relieve the present situation and think the proposal as made by Senator Haines in The Oregonlan is very reasona ble. I do not believe in having all our state Institutions suffer for the next year and a half by calling the referendum be cause some are displeased with the Normal School appropriation. I think It 13 well for each institution to stand on its own bottom anyway. Representative Bingham when seen said: "Certainly I would be willing to respond to a call for an extra session without expense to the state. I believe It would be well for the people to call the Initia tive on such appropriations, including the Normal Schools, as might seem advisable, and do not approve the calling of the referendum. Such action would be a great expense to the state, and I believe it would be beaten in the end, but at the same time I am not In favor of crippling ail the state institutions because the people are displeased with some parts of tne general appropriation bllL I think it would be perfectly proper to pass separate bills for these appropria tions, ana am willing, perfectly willing. to see sucn divisions as may bo proper. and will gladly go back without pay to help the matter out. In fact, I am anxious to do what I can to help tho state institutions out of the threatened dilemma." NOT LIKE WHIPPED SCHOOLBOY Senator Tuttle Will Act as He Sees- Fit Burns Wants to Be Paid. ASTORIA, Or., March 3. (SDecial. The members of the Clatsop County Leg islative delegation do not tako kindly to the scheme proposed by Senator Haines lor holding a special session of the Leg islature and two of them are opposed to an extra session being held In any way. Their views are as follows: Senator Tuttle: "It the Governor calls a special session of the Legislature to consider the situation as regards the appropriation bill, I suppose I will co and I shall most certainly use my own Judgment on any business that might come before the session, but to go back to Salem like a whipped schoolboy, volun tarily, witnout pay, pledged to say that I had been a party to an act to hold up the state for any appropriation in the nature of a graft, is the last thing I propose to do. In my vote on the ap propriation bill I acted in perfect good faith, and I do not recognize the right ot tne Governor or anyone else to tell me Just how I shall vote or what shall be the form of the bill I vote to send to him. It Is his privilege to -veto, as have discovered on several instances. and it seems to me it. In some cases. requires very little pretext. It Is al30 the privilege of the people under the law, a very small percentage of them, please notice, to call a referendum on It, but that does not disturb me. H am not afraid of the result and any additional cost that is brought upon the state there by cannot be charged up to mo for doing only what I believed to be my duty and for the best Interest of the state." Representative Lewis: "I am opposed to tho Haines plan for holding a special sc'sion for the reason that I do not sup pose any member of the Legislature can afford to go to Salem at his own ex pense for the purpose of undoing things that ought never - to have been done. On the other hand I fall to seo any rea son in the Governor's Idea of not calling a special session In the regular way as a matter of economy. I believe the extra session could be held and the needed leg islation adopted at much less expense than the cost ot invoking the referendum on the appropriation bllL" Representative Burns: "The time to have straightened out this difficulty was when the Legislature was In regular session. Everybody knows that the Nor mal Schools are a heavy and needless burden on the people, and an effort was made in the House to cut down the appropriation for them. The majority in both houses had ample notice that the people at large did not favor sup porting those Institutions and they should have taken heed, but they did not. Now let the responsibility remain where it belongs. I do hot see the advisability of summoning an extra session to right a wrong that never ought to have been committed, and I certainly shall not, as Senator Haines suggests, go to Salem at my own expense for the purpose of doing it FARRAR'S PRIDE IS IN THE WAY" Objects to Crawling to Governor o Hands and Knees. - SALEM. Or., March 9. (Special.) Sen ator Farrar, who was chairman of the joint ways and means committee "which f ramed tho appropriation bill, la "outspok en in opposition to Senator Haines' plan for an extra, session. He said tonight "X am against a special session and have so informed Senator Haines. The Legislature did not do wrong when it passed that bill and the members should not stuiury tnemseives oy asKing .tne Governor to call them together to repeal the bill and pass others in Its place. The Normal Schools are state institutions- just as much as the asylum and penitentiary. The state owns them and controls them and has maintained them -and should con tinue to appropriate money for them un til it expressly abolishes them. I was In favor of abolishing the Drain Normal School, but since we failed In. that, I "K- lleve we should appropriate monty for its maintenance. "I believe a referendum petition will be filed " and the. appropriation bin will be J held -up; but, mark, my word, -tins people will look at this matter in a different light a year-and a half from now. These Institutions will run just the same and tne state will pay the expense, with inter est. No, sir; I am opposed to, a special session. The Republican Legislature re fused to put the Normal Schools in a sep arate bill, ao the Governor asked us to. Would not we look pretty now going be fore the Governor on our hands and knees asking him to call us together so we could, do what he asked us to do at the regular session?" Senator Crolsan has not fully deter mined what position he will take on Sen ator Haines' suggestion, but he Is in favor of doing something to. prevent the crippling the Asylum, Penitentiary, Re form School, etc.. It possible. Senator Crolsan was opposed to making appro priations for four Nornial Schools an3 tried to keep these items out of the ap propriation bill for the Asylum and Peni tentiary. Falling in this he voted for the bill as It passed rather than leave the necessary Institutions without funds. "If a special session can be held for a day or two and a bill be passed providing for the maintenance of the Asylum, Peni tentiary, etc., and leaving the Normal Schools to stand on their merits In separate bill, and no other legislation be taken up, I think I would favor It, said Senator Crolsan.

It would be an easy matter for a Quorum of the I Legislature to meet and so segregate the items ot the appropriation bill that any desired items could be brought within the application of the referen dum without affecting the others. It is probable that enough members of the Legislature, would respond to a proclamation of the Governor calling for an extra session, and that under the circumstances they would be willing to serve without remuneration. I think it would be a good thing to do. and have so informed those who are pro moting the plan." ONE IS FOR AND TWO AGAINST Wasco Delegation Divided on Advisa bility of Extra Session.

Formulas of Medicines on Bottle Having heard that tho J. C. Ayer: company had . decided to give to the public the complete formula of each of Its medicines, we interviewed, the treas urer and general manager, Dr. Charles H. Stovrefi, in order to ascertain ii this was true. Dr. S to well said that it cer tainly was true, and that it was simply tho .conclusion of a plan which he had been working upon for a long time. "When asked what effect it wo old hare upon tho proprietary medicine business if all houses were obliged to publish their formulas, ho said, in his opinion. it would favorably affect the sale of all those medicines founded upon merit, all those preparations that were genuine medicines. On the other hand, he be lieved just as strongly that it would mean tho complete ruin of frauds, tares, and swindles. "It is a well-known fact that the nublio is being swindled out ot hun areds of thousands, even millions of dollars each rear, because of wildly ex aggerated and positively untruthful statements, glaringly displayed by tne most lavish outlay of money.. Tie J. C. Ayer company has nothing to hide. "We know our medicines are good. We simply take the public into our confi dence and frankly tell them just what they are getting for their money. That is all there is about it." Concerning the great agitation which has been raised in certain quarters be cause some of these medicines -contain alcohol, Dr. S towel! said: "Jusfruse a little common sense and figure it out for yourself, The-Jozxal which will OLDAGE Not a Time of Life, or Length of Years, but a Condition of Bodily Tissues. Said a celebrated London physician. and just so long as the bodily tissues can be kept from wasting and built up, just so long can old age be kept at bay. and people will be alert, alive. active and young. Clarke &. Co., say: "Our cod liver oil preparation. Vinol. is the greatest tissue-builder and Invlgorator in the world for old people. There is nothing else known tojnedlclne that can equal It. because Vlnol cantalns In a. concen trated form all of the body-bulldlng. life-giving principles of cod liver oil actually taken from fresh cods' livers, and is not a stimulant which produces bad after-effects. We have letter upon letter from grateful old people whom Vlnol has strengthened and blessed with robust health. Vinol Invigorates the stomach first of all. enabling- it to separate from the food the elements . needed for rich red blood, healthy body material and sound, steady nerves. In this way It repairs worn tissues, checks the natural decline and replaces weak ness with strength." Mr. A J. Barker of Evansville. Ind., says there is no other medicine in the world equal to Vinol for old people. He would not take a thousand dollars for the good It has done him. The grandnlece of Alexander Hamil ton, Mrs. Sarah J. Wlndrom, says: "Vinol is a godsend to old people." She Is 76 years, old. and Is active and well, thanks to the vitalizing effects ot Vinol. We wish every man or woman In Portland who "feels old," whether they are so in years or not, would try Vlnol on our guarantee to return their money If they are not satisfied after using It.

They say: "You made every effort to induce the Legislature not to pass the bill to which objection is made, arid the responsibility does not rest upon you. After deliberately Ignoring your wishes, the members have no right to ask you to call them together again." Governor Chamberlain, however, takes the view that if the Legislature will meet without expense to the state and pass laws which will prevent the state insti tutions here from being crippled for want of funds, it will be for the best Interests of the state to call a special session, though he does not say that he will call a session. He may conclude that the in terests of the state will be best subserved, by letting the people vote upon the bill as the Legislature passed It at the regu lar session. Representative Kay, of Marion County, who fought the appropriations for four Normal Schools, says he is willing to sign a petition to the Governor to call a special session. He believes this would, save money for the state and that the members of the Legislature should agree to pass the appropriations In separate bills. Representative Burns, of Coos and Curry, says he is in favor ot a special session and will sign a request to the Governor for that purpose.

Will Print soon appear on each bottle of Ayer's Sarsaparilla will show that the person gets about ten minims of alcohol in eacn teaspoomui ox ttae nmucine, wnica is the ordinary dose. Now in a glass of beer (which is the ordinary dose) there are about two hundred, minims of alco hol. In other words, one dose of beer contains twenty times as much, alcohol as one dose of Ayer a Earsaparilla. But let us carry this analysis a little fsrtier: You would have to drink about half a bottle of Ayer's Sarsaparill& to get as much, alcohol as is lound tn an ordinary ''schooner' of beer. The Sarsaparilla would cost the man nearly half a dollar, while the beer would cost him only five cents. We have yet to hear of aay per son who ever acquired a. love for the taste of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Thrfact his, it is a medicine, a positive medkiae, and has the taste ox a medicine. But we are told that a taste for beer is soon acquired. In view of this, can yoa imagine anything more perfectly ridicu lous tha& all of this terrible cry ahot the alcohol in this saediciae? And tfeea we know very well that the alcohol is used, must be used, to extract the various medicinal ingrediests frothe roots, barks, etc., which, form an impor tant part of this medicine. It is sot addedslmply because of any ttismlatiug effect it xaay have of itself."
