THE MORXING OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 190S. RIGHT TO LOCATE OUTS DEOFSALEM Proposed Amendment to Con stitution Affects State Institutions. SPREADS OUT PATRONAGE Various Sections of Commonwealth Will Be Expected to "Trade" lu Legislature for Appropriations, as Has Been the Custom. SAI.EM. Or.. March 20. (Special.) One of the measures, upon which the people of Oregon will vote at the June election Is a constitutional amendment permitting the location of state Institutions away from the capital of the state. This amendment was submitted by the last Legislature, and appears in the Initiative and referen dum pamphlet without argument on either side of the question. It is a short pro vision, amending section 3 of article 14 of the constitution. That section now reads as follows: "The seat of government, when estab lished as provided in section 1. shall not be removed for the term of twenty years from the time of such establishment; nor In any other manner than as provided in the first section of this article; provided that all the public institutions of the state, hereafter provided for by the Leg islative Assembly, shall be located at he Beat of government." Section 1, mentioned herein, proivdes for establishment of the seat of government by a vote of the people. The proposed amendment to section 3 reads as follows: Section 3. The seat of government, when established as provided In Section 1. shall not be removed for a term of twenty (20) years from the time of such establishment, nor In any other manner than as provided In the first section of this article. All the public institutions of the state, not located elsewhere prior to January 1. 1007. shall be located In the county where the seat of government Is, excepting when otherwise ordered by an set of the Legislative As sembly and Is ratified by the electors of the state at the next general election follow ing such act by a majority of all the votes cast on the question of whether or not such act shall be .ratified. Purpose Is Twofold. The purpose of the amendment is two foldto validate the acts by which publio institutions have heretofore been estab lished away from the seat of government in violation of the constitution, and to permit the establishment of such institu tions away from the capital in the future by act of the Legislature and approval of the people of the state. A number of m- tltution. the State University, the Agri cultural College, four normal schools and the SoIdle.f Home, have been located away from the capital. A number of years ago an act was passed providing for the location of an insane asylum in Kastern Oregon, but that act was declared unconstitutional because In violation of this section. While plausible arguments have been made In support of the view that the Hniverslty, Agricultural College and normnl schools are not public Institu tions wtlhln the meaning of the constitu tion, there has always been grave doubt whether those Institutions have valid ex istence. One of the purposes of this amendment la to remove that doubt. It will be noticed, also, that the original section provides for the location of state institutions "at the seat of government." The proposed amendment says "In the county where the seat of government is, except," etc. The object of this change in laneruage is to avoid question as to the meaning of the word "at." The State Reform School is located at" Salem, but about four miles from the city. The Mute School is three miles away. The new home for the feeble-minded wilt be a mile sway. The word "at" has been construed to mean near enough to enable the state officers to have personal supervision over tha institutions and to transact their busi ness at the seat of government. The im practicability of placing the Institutions inside the city limits made such a con struction necessary, and If the Institu tions could be placed outside the city lim its at all. a difference of a mile or two was immaterial. All the Institutions named get their mall at Sulem. Divide I'p State Patronage. The arguments offered in favor of the proposed amendment are that state In stitutions should be distributed over the state so as to give ail sections a share of public appropriations and so as to accommodate as large a number of peo ple as possible; also, that a more suit able locntion can sometimes be found elsewhere. Against the proposed amendment it is argued that scattering the Institutions over the state paves the way for trades and combinations in the Legislature for the purpose of controlling appropriations. It was this argument, in fact, that caused the constitutional convention to provide that all Institutions shall be lo cated at the seat of government. Dur ing the territorial government there was constant trouble over the location of public institutions and to eliminate this difficulty, the provision was made set tling the question in the Constitution. It Is now satd that if the location of state Institutions at various places be permitted, trades will be made in the Legislature by which members from one section will be given an Institution or an increased appropriation upon condi tion that they support measures or ap propriations desired by other members, (experience has shown that trades of this kind are very common. Shifts Onus lVora Legislature. On the other hand, it is remarked that the proposed section provides for loca tion of Institutions away from the Capi tal only upon approval of the people and no harm can result. The rejoinder is heard that this merely extends the trad ing from the Legislature to the people and will start a demand for location of institutions upon the basis of patronage rsther than upon the basis of utility. With such a provision in the Constitu tion, a legislator's ability would he measured largely by his success in get ting legislative sanction to the location of a state institution in his county. It Is pretty generally agreed by those who should know, that it would be bet ter if a branch insane asylum could be located In Eastern Oregon, thereby giv ing the asylum authorities choice of climate in determining where, patients shall be kept. This will be one of the strongest arguments in support of the adoption of the amendment. It will be opposed upon the general proposition that it enlarges the opportunity for trad ing on appropriations. CANDIDATES ARK XUMEROVS Clackamas County Has Host of As pirants for Office.

AVho the Purchasers Are. The frauds alleged were in connection with the taking of timberclatms in Boise Basin, in Boise County, which claims are now held by the Barber Lumber Com pany. The original purchasers of these claims was William Sweet, who subse quently sold an interest to the. late ex- Governor Steunenberg, who later pur chased Sweet's interest, which had been Increased by new purchases made by the two, and were latar sold to the Barber Lumber Company, composed principally of Wisconsin capitalists who since have acquired considerable more land. Most of the transactions extend beyond the period of three years ago, at which time the statute of limitations -began to run, but it is claimed by the Department of Justice that overt acts . in the con splracy alleged have been taken within the three-year limit, and that, there fore, the charges have been kept alive.

The attorneys for the defense in the cases decided by Judge Whitson raised the question of the statute of limitations. but the court failed to sustain this plea and the Department has ruled that the statute, has not run.

The spirit of progress dawned on Al bany tonight. At a get together banquet 16844 was subscribed for a publicity campaign for a "greater Albany." Tom Richardson, of Portland, who delivered the leading address at the banquet tonight, said this sub scription is the best showing made in the first night by any of the Oregon cities which have joined in the boost ing campaign. A union of all the com mercial organizations of the city has been effected and a new era for the Linn County capital has begun. Three hundred Albany men sat down tonight at this epoch-marking banquet It was held in the local armory and was the largest assembly of men ever collected at a dinner in this city. H. M. Crooks, president of Albany College, presided as toastmaster and speeches were made by Governor George E. Chamberlain, a former Albany citizen; Mayor J. P. Wallace, State Senator Frank J. Miller, ex-State Senator Percy R. Kelly, and Postmaster J. S. Van Winkle of Albany, Attorney Samuel M. Garland of Lebanon and Postmaster B. W. Johnson of Crovallis, and Fred Muller of the Portland Board of Trade. "United Effort" Chief Theme. "United effort" was the general theme, and the speakers extolled Al bany's splendid location and vast nat ural advantages and then handled without gloves the lethargy and con servatism which have heretofore char acterized commercial movements in Albany. Tom Richardson of Portland was the last and leading speaker, and after one of his characteristic boosting talks, the subscriptions began. In a short time monthly subscrip tions aggregating J6844 for the first year's work were on record. As a number of leading business firms were not represented at the meeting tonignt the total subscriptions will reach at least $8000 for the first year ot work. Ahew commercial organization was formed last night, comprising all of the old clubs, and hundreds of men joined the club, with $1 a month as dues. A meeting for permanent or ganization will be held soon, and plans for the systematic expenditure of toie money adopted. Manifest Great Enthusiasm. Prior to the -banquet the Albany band played on the streets, while Tom Richardson and Governor Chamberlain held an Informal reception at the Alco Club parlors. Headed by the band, the citizens then marched from the Alco Club to the Armory. Great enthusi asm characterized the banquet, and it grew as the subscriptions increased. Tonight will stand as a red-letter date In the history of this city, and the activity set on foot tonight will doubtless result in the realization of the hope expressed in .the watchword of "A Greater Albany."

In the good old-faahioned days of our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mitigate suffering. The Indians on our Western Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baffle the most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs. From the roots and herbs of the field Xydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their pe culiar ills, more potent and effica cious than any combination of drugs. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills. Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 615 N.C. St., Louisiana, Mo., writes : " Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering- women I am willing to make my troubles public "For twelve years I had been suffer ing with the worst forms of female ills. During that time I had eleven different physicians without help. Ko tongue can tell what I suffered, and at times I could hardly walk. About two years ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re stored, health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering women." . ( What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound did for Mrs. Muff, it will do for -f her suffering women' W. E. Toung. of Beaver Creek: Mrs W. H.
