TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1907. SENATE PASSES BANKING BILL Heated Debate Precedes Final Vote on State Regulation Measure. HAINES LEADS THE FIGHT Warns Opponents That Thpy Must Approve Legislation or Suffer at Hands of the People Vote Is Nearly Vnanimous. - SALEM, Or., Feb. IS. (Special.) The Haines bill for a. Rtate banking' law was passed by the Senate tonight with only three dissenting votes, t'pon one pretext and another the banking inter ests were able to delay legislation until the last day for passing bills in the chamber where the Haines bill originated, and it was believed the bill could not then get through both houses. It remains to be seen whether It can. The measure is a very lenient one, allowing banks to reduce their re nerves to 15 per cent of their deposits and 10 per cent of their demand time deposits, only one-third necessarily to be cash in hand. It permits loans of 23 per cent of the amount of capital and reserves to one Individual, but second loans are not governed by this limitation. The bill does not require banks to conform to its requirements until 18 months after It becomes a law. The bill has been persistently fought before the committee and was strongly opposed on the floor of the Senate to day. Even its friends do not claim that it is anywhere near perfect, but believe It will form a basis for future leKlslatlon. The bill provides for ap pointment of a bank examiner by the State Board on a salary of $3000 a year. When .the Haines bill came up on report of the banking committee. Sen ator Coke, chairman of the committee, asked unanimous consent to make a number of amendments, the most im portant of which was the insertion of a clause permitting a loan to one per son of an unlimited amount, provided the loan is secured by real estate or personal property and does not ex ceed 75 per cent of the value of the security. One of the amend ments also provided that the banks Hhall not be required to comply with the provisions of the banking law for IS months after the law becomes ef fective, or about 21 months from the present time. Haines Takes the Floor. Senator Mulit objected to one of the amendments, and Haines, who had called Senator Bineham to the chair, moved that the bill he referred back for amendment. Malarkey opposed this and moved an indefinite postpone ment. This precipitated a vigorous de bate, which occupied most of the af ternoon. Malarkey said that this bill had been before the Senate since January 23, and the banking committee had just reported a substitute to which the chairman proposed further amend ments. Under such circumstances the Senate could not act Intelligently. He said no one had asked him to support this bill, but a large number, among them the heaviest banks of Portland, had asked him to oppose it. Senator Haines objected to postpone ment, arguing that the people have been demanding banking legislation for sev eral years; that there are now 150 banks In Oregon absolutely without regulation by the state. Any man can rent a build ing, hang out a sign and begin taking in deposits. This bill had been carefully pre pared by a committee after notice to all bankers, and after the bill had been drawn it was submitted to them and met no criticism. It was only after the Leg islature met that objections were made. Bankers who opposed it said they could not support It because of certain provis ions. When it had been amended as de hired by them they still fought it. Their purpose evidently was to defeat any bank ing legislation, said Senator Haines, and in ringing tones he warned all such that if they prevent legislation now, they will get a law by initiative that they do not want, but which they will deserve. Coke Answers Malarkey. Senator Coke responded to Malarkey'a remarks by saying the reason for delay in reporting this bill was that the people whom Malarkey represents kept objecting to provisions of the bill, and an effort was made to change the bill to suit them. This bill is much more lenient than the National banking law, yet they are dis satisfied with it. Senator Booth said that this bill for the regulation of banks establishes a super vision so far removed that scarcely any bank could feel It. A bank that would shy at a hill such as this needs looking after. While he thought the bill much too lenient, he desired to support It "as a beginning from which better legislation would be realized. t Senator Mulit thought the bill merlto. rintis and did not see how it could bust any banker doing a legitimate business. Replying to the remarks concerning "the people lie represents." Malarkey said that he represented all the interests of the peo ple of Multnomah County. The motion to Indefinitely postpone re ceived only two affirmative votes. The bill was then referred for amendment as proposed by Senator Coke. When the amendments were reported. Johnson vigorously opposed allowing un limited loans on the security, but the amendment was adopted and the bill passed. TAX REBATE IS ABOLISHED Discount for Prompt Payment Not Approved by House. SALEM. Or.. Feb. 18. (Special.) The House this afternoon passed Sim mons' bill repealing the 3 per cent re bate for early payment of taxes, prior to March 15, each. year. Vawter said that he did not see what the county had to gain by repealing the rebate provision. He said under the rebate system the bulk of the taxes was en couraged to be paid before March 15, and the average county, which pays 8 per cent on Its outstanding warrants, could apply the money In 'cancellation of such warrants. Otherwise, it would have to wait another six mont'.is, or until October, when the remainder of the taxes become due. He thought It was about a stand-off. Newell said that from 85 to 90 per rent of the taxes are paid into the several counties before March 15 und?r the present system, although many of the counties do not need one-half of their taxes until Fall. He insisted that the rebate plan was undeniably In the Interest of the rich man, while the poor man had to stand the In creased costs and penalties. Ten voted against the bill as fol lows: Brix, Burns, Karrell, Gray, Kub:l, McCue, Perkins, Pike, Rodgers, Settle-mier. STATE WILL REDEEM PLEDGE Bill to Reimburse Indian. War Veterans Passes. SALEM, Or., Feb. 18. (Special.) Unanimous was the vote in the House this morning on Speaker Davey's bill appropriating $50,000 to reimburse the Indian War veterans for horses used by the state during the Indian wars of 1855-56. In speaking for the measure, Mr. Davey said the claim was pledged by the Legislature one-half of a cen tury ago, and common justice dictated that the pledge be redeemed now. Jones of Lincoln and' Polk and McCal lon also spoke for the bill, holding that the services of these faithful veterans in preserving this state at that early day were deserving of proper compen sation. Senate Joint Memorial 7, by Smith of Umatilla, urges a National appropria tion for pensions for survivors of the Willow Springs battle with Bannock Indians, in Umatilla County In 1878. The memorial was referred to the Sen ate committee on resolutions. Senate Joint Memorial 4. by Miller of Linn, asking Congress to increase the pensions of Indian war veterans, was adopted today by the Senate. XOXPARTISAXSHIP IS SHAM Governor's Friends Make Political Capital Out of Accident. SALEM, Or., Feb. 18. (Special.) Democrats are parading the "non-partisan" administration of Governor Chamberlain, and citing as an evidence of his independent action the appoint ment of Republicans to the offices of Judge and District Attorney in the new Eleventh. District. The appointees are E. V. Llttlefield, of Moro, Judge, and J. A. Collier, of Fossil, District Attorney. The new district is com posed of Gilliam, Sherman and Wheeler Counties, and the appointment of two Republicans is explained by the fact that there are no Democratic lawyers In the district. ATTORNEY BILL IS KILLED HOUSE MEMBERS MAKE DEFEAT DECISIVE. Campbell Pleads for His Measure In Vain Will Try for Reconsideration. SALEM, Or.. Feb. IS. (Special.) Camp bell's County Attorney bill was defeated in the House this morning by the decisive vote of 16 ayes to 36 noes, 8 absent. Be fore the vote was announced the author of the bill changed his vote from aye to no so as to be in a position to move a reconsideration of the vote later in the session. In advocating the bill Campbell said its provisions did not take effect until 910. when the terms of the District At torneys who are now serving, who are the only officials affected by the measure. will expire. He further explained that no additional cost would be entailed to the state, while he believed a much more satisfactory administration of the Prose cuting Attorney's office would result, es pecially In the smaller counties that are generally far removed from the county n which the District Attorney resides. freeman maintained that the salaries provided for the County Attorneys in the majority of the smaller counties of the state, as proposed in the bill, were in- dequate to secure competent and reliable men to fill the office of County Prosecutor and properly administer the office. He indorsed the present system as being especially to the advantage of the smaller counties of the state, since they are joined together to the extent that a suf ficient salary can be paid and men -well versed in the law induced to serve in the capacity of District Attorney. Jones of Polk and Lincoln favored the bill as being particularly in the interest or tne small counties of Eastern Oregon and the coast counties, but with the ex ception of himself and the author of the bill there were none to advocate the passage of the measure. The vote on the bill follows: Ayes Beveridge. Brown. Chase Con- nell. -Crawford. Dobbin, Dye, Edwards, Huntley.

NO TAX ON WATER POWERS Bill to Levy Tribute on Unappropri ated Rights Killed. SALBM. Or., Feb. 18. (Special.) Taxa tion of unappropriated water powerspro posed In a bill by Representative Newell, was turned down by the House this after noon. The measure proposed a tax of 50 cents per horsepower for every horse power estimated to be appropriated by any person or corporation from any stream in the state, after the passage of the bill, the tax to be paid to the state. All such water appropriations were lim ited to a terra of 30 years. Newell explained that the bill had two purposes placing a limit on these fran chises and providing for some revenue to the state. Settlemler considered that the matter of Imposing such a tax had been too long deferred. He said that the bill was a most meritorious one and if such a tax had been Imposed on this power years ago, the state would have realized large returns therefrom. Coffey contended that all of the best water powers of the state had already been appropriated and those enjoying these rights were not paying anything for them. He wanted to know why the Indi vidual or corporation that now appro priates to a beneficial use such water power should be taxed. He argued that to tax this enterprise would tend to retard the further development of the state. Kubll's motion on the Indefinite post ponement of the bill was then stated and carried.

Illlu,liiiii.iiiu1iiii!iiiiiiilii BUM UifflUlWniHfflQffi BEGIN AT THE TOPI V1THA MSRibbinl HOUSE PUSSES BURNS BILL VOTE FOR STATE PCRE-FOOD LAW IS UNANIMOUS. Measure Goes Through . With True Weight Clause' Intact Debate Is Very Brief. SALEM Or., Feb. 18. (Special.) With out a single dissenting vote. Representa tive Burns' pure food . bill passed the House this morning. The bill requires that all packages and containers contain ing groceries and food stuffs shall be properly labeled as to their contents, both in respect to adulteration and true net weight. The debate attending the consideration of the bill was brief. "Sixteen ounces to the pound," said Burns in discussing the merits of the bill," Is just as sacred as 100 cents to the dollar. The opposition to this bill does not come from the manu facturers, but rather from the manipu lators and distributors. There are prob ably not more than ten men in Multnomah County who do not approve of this bill, and they have forgotten the tenth com mandment, 'Thou Shalt not steal.' " ' "The commandment is all right," sug gested Speaker Davey, "but I think the gentleman is a little mixed as to its number." Rodgers inquired if the provisions of the bill did not discriminate as between goods manufactured in this state and goods that were imported into this state from another state and in favor of the latter class of goods. Burns replied that his bill only proposed to insure proper protection to the people from adulteration and misrepresentation. Coffey indorsed the bill as a square deal for all the peo ple and the vote was then taken. To free food dealers from prosecution under the pure food law of 1905. for sell ing adulterated foods, when they are not responsible for the adulteration, a bill of Representative Burns passed this after noon, permitting dealers to exhibit a guarantee of a wholesaler, jobber or manufacturer, that the food is not adulte rated. The bill reads in part: . . . . No dealer shall be prosecuted for a violation of the provisions of this act when he can establish a guaranty signed by a wholesaler, jobber or manufacturer or other party from whom he purchased such articles, to the effect that the same is not adulterated, within the meaning of this act, designating- it. Said guaranty to afford such protection, shall contain the name and ad dress of the party or parties mailing the sale of such articles to such dealer, and In such case said party or 'parties making- the sale of such articles shall be amenable to the prosecution, fines or other penalties which would attach in due course to the dealer under the provisions of this act. A guaranty may be filed with the Secretary of State by the manufacturer or dealer, and be given a serial number, which number shall appear cn each and every package of goods sold under such guaranty, with the words, "Guaranteed Under the Pure Food Act of 1005." which guaranty shall be ac cepted in place of Individual guaranty. Jus tices' courts shall have concurrent Jurisdic tion with th-s Circuit Court of all cases arising under this act. Routine of the House. SALEM, Or., Feb. IS. (Special.)
