Proposal Was for Constitutional
Amendment Giving People Power
to fnseat Vnsatlsfactory Pub
lic Officials by Petition.
SALEM. Or., Feb. 20. (Special.) New
ell's joint resolution for a constitutional
amendment giving the people power to
recall an officer who has proved unfaith
ful, met an overwhelming: defeat in the
House today. It provides that on petition
of 25 per cent of the voters an officer
must reslpn or a special election will be
called and if any candidate receives a
larger vote than he. he will be superseded.
McCue of Clatsop assailed the amend
ment upon the ground that It trives too
much power to interfere with the work
of public officers. He said a man can
go down the street any time and get
signers to a petition to hang someone.
There Is always a large per cent of the
people against any officer.
Newell defended the amendment, saying
that when 25 per cent of the people think
an officer should resign it Is time that
something should bo done. He referred
to the obnoxious railroad commission of
a few years ago and said that the people
ought to have power to recall an officer
whose service is unsatisfactory.
Jackson of Douglas said he would wager
that he could go into Washington County
and get 25 per cent of the people to pe
tition Newell to resign from the Igis
lature. Ho thought the adoption of this
amendment would be in effect the estab
lishment of minority rule and a small
minority, at that.
There was no roll call on the indefinite
postponement.
TH1KD HOUSE IX SESSION.
Mock Legislators Make Fun for the
Ileal One..
SALEM, Or., Feb. 20. (Special.) The
"Third House" held a session in the Hall
of Representatives tonight with W. H.
Barry, of Portland, as Speaker: L. H.
Adams, of Portland, as reading clerk,
and C. H. Gram, labor leader, as sergeant-at-arms.
Speaker Davey and President
Haines of the House and Senate were in
vited to seats upon the rostrum. Because
of the undue publicity the newspapers
has given to some of the proceedings in
the legislature, the Third House voted to
exclude all representatives of the press.
The usual number of humorous bills
and resolutions were Introduced, among
them a bill "to make it cheaper to be
married than single": a resolution for the
repainting of the banisters on the stairs
leading to the stenographers- room; a bill
to appropriate money to buy a hat for
Tillamook Head; a bill' to create the office
of odorless cheese Inspector: a bill to
prevent fishermen from spitting on the
bnlt. and a bill to require streetcar com
panies to furnish hanging-up space for
passengers.
The session of the Third House was not
up to the standard usually attained, for
there was too much disorder and there
weie not enough good speakers on the
floor. The best addresses were bv Walter
Wlnslow. P. H. D'Arcy and W. H. Barry.
Barry made a good Speaker.

BUTTE STRIKE SPREADS
Workingmen's Union. Demands 50
Cents a Day Increase.
BUTTS, Mont., Feb. 20. The far-reaching
strike In Butte was spread this morn
ing by a notice served on all employers
for a raise in the scale by the Butte
Workingmen's Union. This organization
the largest In the city outside the mining
trades, embraces laborers of every de
scription except mining, street sweepers,
ditch diggers, shovelera, etc., and its
members have been getting $3 per day in
Butte. Their new scale, as announced to
day will take effect March 1, and calls for
$3.50 per day. The City of Butte is most
heavily affected. Many employers refuse
the demands.
The Butte Business Mens' Association
has empowered its executive board of
ficially to resist the general demands for
higher wages in the camp. The associa
tion will ask the city authorities not to
grant the demand submitted today by the
Workingmen's Union.
It is emphatically announcel tonight
by President Duffy of the Miners' Union
that although there will be a meeting of
hla organization next Monday to discuss
the general labor situation In Butte, there
is no chance whatever that the miners
will vote for an increased scale with the
alternative of a general tieup of the min
ing industry in this city. It was not con
templated. President Duffy said, to make
a demand for an increase and although at
Monday's meeting the miners will prob
ably vote for an increase, no demand will
be presented to the mining employers,
but merely a request for a raise in wages.
President Duffy's statement has done
much to dispel the fear of a coming crisis
in the mining Industry of this district.

IDAHO LEGISLATORS TO VISIT
TWIN FALLS.
Vote to Adjourn Today Until Mon
day Optional Saloon License Bill
Passed, but Mutilated.
BOI3E. Idaho, Feb. 2a (Special.) The
House and Senate agreed today to ad
journ tomorrow until Monday and go on
an excursion to Twin Falls on the invita
tion of the people of that place. They
also agreed on February 25 as the date
for introduction of bills to cease, except
on a two-thirds vote.
The principal business of the day was
the passage of the optional license bill in
the House. The measure was amended in
committee of the whole by striking out
the provision for petitions to the County
Commissioners against granting licenses,
and that fixing a sliding scale from $300
to $750 a year, the license being made the
same, $750. for all drinking places. There
was a sharp tilt over the measure,
friends of the local option feature charg
ing that the majority was guilty of bad
faith, while friends of low license for
wayside places were likewise up in arms.
The bill was carried by a vote of 29 to 21.
In the Senate there was a sharp fight
over a bill to emasculate the two-mile
limit sheep law reducing the limit to
half a mile. There Is a bill In each body
for that purpose. The Senate bill was
reached on the calendar in committee of
the whole. Hart asked that its consider
ation he postponed until Senators could
be on hand who were (tbsent. Rich made
objections and moved that when the com
mittee rise it recommend that the bill be
indefinitely postponed. Much opposition to
the bill was manifested, but Rich finally
withdrew his motion and the bill retained
its place on the calendar.
The two-mile limit law prohibits graz
ing of sheep on public lands within two
miles of any habitation on a possessory
claim. It has been much of an issue in
Idaho politics in past years, but in the
last campaign it did not come up. Within
the past three weeks the Supreme Court
of the United States has held the law
valid. That aroused the sheepmen. They
claim they will now be annoyed and har.
assed so much more that they will be
driven out of business, and a powerful
lobby is at work to get this change
brought about.
It is claimed the bill will pass the House
and Senate both, but the opposition in the
Senate today was very much in evidence.

KILLS THE FRANCHISE BILL
May Spend $50,000 in Prosecution
of Dynamite Cases.
BOISE. Idaho, Feb. 20. (Special.) Op
ponents of the Clearwater County bill
seem to have lost some votes as a result
of the vote on the license bill in the
House today. It seems they had Sur
ridge and Cassell of Idaho under cover,
but when the Nez Perce members voted
for a flat license of $750 today, the two
Idaho County men became wroth and)
Lewiston people are now trying to coax
them back into line. Their votes would
make a tie and beat the bill.
The joint committee of House and Sen
ate appointed to confer with the Gov
ernor respecting probable expense of car
rying on prosecution, of the case against
the men accused of the murder of ex
Governor Steunenberg, held a meeting this
afternoon and went over the subject at
some length. It was agreed that an ap
propriation of $50,000 would be recommend
ed. It was further determined to submit
resolutions to the Legislature giving ex
pression to the opinion of the state on the
subject and extending unqualified and un
limited support to the Governor in push,
ing the effort to punish those that may
be guilty.
A sub-committee was appointed to draft
such resolutions.
