Choice Positions Will Go to Tliose
Who Aided Presiding Officers to
Land Places Members Likely
to Find What They Want.
FAL.EM. Or, Jan. IS. (Special.)
Legislative committers will be an
nnounced next Monday by President
Howerman and Speaker McArthur.
Pending this momentous event, the two
presiding officers are besieged with
wirepullers and applicants for prefer
ment. At the outset it mar be said that the
corrupt practices act. forbidding com
mittee pledges In advance of the Legis
lative organization, does not prevent
either the President or the Speaker
from rewarding his friends. Tt would
be contrary to human nature for either
presiding officer to Ignore his support
ers and nobody expects him to lo It.
In the Senate. Dr. J. N. Smith, of
Marion, wants ways and means chair
manship; likewise A. J. Johnson, of
Benton. But there Is a strong senti
ment In that body opposing the giving
of chairmanships to any legislator
from Marlon County or any other coun
ty that draws heavily on the state
treasury. For this reason, the chair
manship is likely to go to a Multno
mah man. either Coffey or Nottingham.
Bone of Contention in House.
This chairmanship In the House is
a bone of contention between conflict
ing interests that claim themselves en
titled to the recognition on account of
support given to McArthur' candidacy
for Speaker. Abbott, of Multnomah.
Is likely to be the appointee and anoth
er place on the committee will go to
Clemens of the same county. Abbott
and Clemens came to McArthur s sup
port two weeks ago at a critical per
iod in MoArthur's campaign. A strong
opposition to this appointment has de
veloped but it Is not lkely to prevail.
The committee will bo enlarged to
seven mtxnbers to make room for the
many seekers of places on the commit
tee. Next In the scale of committees Is
that on Judiciary and Its twin, on re
vision of laws. For those two com
mittees In each house there will be
abundance of material, owing to the
presence of 22 lawyers In the Legisla
ture. These are the best working com
mittees of all. when they are in trim
and appointment to them has been re
garded as an especial honor. In the
Senate. Hart, of Baker. Is likely to get
the committee on Judiciary; and Bar
rett, of Washington, that on revision.
These two men were among- Bower
man's staunchest supporters for the
Presidency. While there are other
lawyers in the Senate, none of them Is
entitled to recognition above Hart and
Barrett. . . .
In the House a likely appointee to
Judiciary is Brooke of Malheur.- one of
McArthur's earliest and most steadfast
supporters. Brooke is a young man of
ability. Another strong candidate for
the Judiciary chalrmanHhip or that on
revision of law is McCue of Clatsop,
who gave his speakership support to
McArthur in Portland last Saturday,
thereby clinching McArthur's hold on
the Speakership. Mahone of Multno
mah will come in for good recognition,
and others who will secure places on
the two law committees are Rusk of
Wallowa. Buchanan of ouglas. IMmick
of Clackamas, and Bean of Lane.
On assessment and taxation. In the
Senate, a likely appointee Is Bingham
of Lane, who held tiijs jamn chair
manship In 1907. In the House. Rey
nolds, of Marlon is a likely appointee.
He Is another of McArthur's followers
deserving of particular recognition.
The committees on railroads will not
be sought after so actively as last ses
sion, but" they will be among the most
Important working bodies. In the Sen
ate, ColTey of Multnomah appears to
be the man for chairmanship first in
line, on account of his chairmanship
of railroads in the House last session.
Coffey Is not. however, very desirous
of this place, yet may take it. F. J.
Miller, of Linn, is another man well
fitted for chairmanship, both by experi
ence in railroad matters and by his In
fluence In the Senate. In the House.
Brady of Multnomnh Is entitled to a
high-grade chairmanship, such as this,
nd his appointment to It would not
be surprising. However, the Speaker,
is disposed to appoint Po.lds of Wasco.
As banking will be an Important sub
ject of legislation, the committees on
banking belong to the hih-grade
plums. There will be sn effort this
session to keep hankers out of the
chairmanships of these comiittees. and
to take out of the hands, of bankers
control of banking legislation. For
this reason Johnson of Henton. who
wants the Senate chairmanship, may
not get the place.
Clemens on Insurance Committee.
Formerly the committee on Insurance
was the same as that on banking. In the
session of 1!07 insurance was put ofT by
itself and a separate committee created
for it. In the House It Is well understood
that Clemens, of Multnomah, will be
chairman of the Insurance committee. In
the Senate, Albee. of Multnomah, would
have been a probable appointee but for
his opposition to Bowerman's organiza
tion. This Is a chairmanship of con
siderable Importance and it will pro
bably be given to a Bowerman sup
porter. For commerce and navigation !n the
Senate. Chase, of Coos, may be named
chairman on account of Coos County
navigation Interests which are seeking
aid from the state and the National
Government. In the House. Mariner, of
Sherman, is expected to be the chair
man of the committee on commerce.
Irrigation will be a big subject In this
Legislature largely on account of ex
pected bills for the control of unappro
priated waters. As Eastern Oregon is
most vitally Interested In such legisla
tion. It is expected that the chairman
ship In each house will go to that part
of the state, especially on account of
Kastern Oregon's almost united support
of Bowerman and McArthur. Merry
man, of Klamath, is likely to head this
committee In the Senate. In the House.
McKinney. of Baker, or Mahoney. of
Morrow. Is promising material; also
Brattaln. of Lake. On account of the
evident desire of McArthur to make a
good place for McKinney. the Baker man
may secure this place.
Fisheries Committee Opens.
Fisheries will be a lively subject of
legislation at this session and there is
considerable speculation as to who will
be the ehalrmen. of these committers.
In the House, Farrell. of Multnomah, on
M1THUR
account of his fisheries connections and
his support of the McArthur organization
is a probable appointee for chairman. In
the Senate. Schollield. of Clatsop, is in
line and the only doubt as to his secur
ing this place is the certainty in the
resultant antagonisms on the upper river.
Scholflcld representing the lower river.
1'pper river interests will certainly resist
Scholflcld'" appointment and will con
sent to it only on condition that the
committee shall be packed against him.
Slnnott. of Wasco, comes from the upper
river and would probably be preferred by
the upper river.
For the House committee on agricul
ture. Hawley. of Polk, Is the most prom
ising candidate for cnalrman. Others
spoken of for this place are: ITeek.- of
Washington; Mann, of Umatilla; and Mc
Kinney. of Baker. In the Senate, Par
rish. of Grant, a retired lawyer, may re
ceive the appointment. This Is rather
a hard chairmanship to give out as there
are no farmers In the Senate. Should
Parrish be singled out for this honor, he
will undoubtedly receive Important other
places in keeping with .his deserts as a
member of the Bowerman organization.
Representative Eaton, of Lane, is a
promising candidate for chairman of the
House committee on education. The dis
position of this chairmanship in the
Senate Is uncertain as yet. On account
of Johnson's residence In Corvallls. borne
of the State Agricultural College, he Is
talked of for this place.
Cole on Pharmacy Committee.
Dr. Cole, of Umatilla, is likely to be
chosen to head the Senate committee on
medicine and pharmacy. In the House
this chairmanship may go to Dr. Bel
knap. Others mentioned for the House
chairmanship are Dr. Hlnes. of Wash
ington; Bones, of Tamhlll and Apple
gate, of Douglas.
For the chairmanship an mines. Muncy.
For the chairmanship on mines, Muncy.
account of his mining connections at
home. McKinney. of Baker, a big min
ing county. Is another prominent can
didate. .
VETOES COME BEFOHEVOTE
I.KGlSIiATCRE WILTi COXSIPER
THEM BEFORE ELECTION.
General Belief Is Chamberlain Will
Be Sustained 'o Influence on
Senatorial Vote.
SALEM. Or.. Jan. 12. (Special.)
Whether to put off consideration of
Chamberlain's last session vetoes until
after the Senatorial election was the
subject of sharp debate In the House
this afternoon between Democrats and
the Statement One Republicans on one
side and their opponents on the other.
Including some members of the State
ment camp. By a vote of SS to 21 the
House rejected the plan to defer the
vetoes until Wednesday. January 2
and then fixed next Monday at 2 P. M.
as the time for their disposition. The
Senate appointed the same hour of that
day to consider the votes on Its side.
The manifest purpose of Chamber
Iain's friends was to put ofT the vetoes
until such time as they could not com
plicate the Senatorial election. Al
though complications are not expecteil.
his friends wished to take all possible
precautions. That the vetoes will be
sustained is altogether probable, for
the reasons that none-of them present
real live Issues for dispute between
the Executive and the Legislature and
Chamberlain's opponents can hardly
expect, in the make-up of this Legisla
ture, to muster a two-thirds vote
against them.
. i -1 . ,ka i-.,tnn. T-nre y (v n 1 v rl In the
House from the Secretary of State's 1
office this afternoon, Orton or Multno
mah. Statement Republican, promptly
moved to make them a special order
for Wednesday. January 20. Brady,
representing the other wing of the
Multnomah delegation, although he Is
himself a Statement Republican, moved
to amend by designating 2 P. M. Mon
dav. After a sharp debate the amend
ment prevailed by a vote of 36 to 21.
In this vote the Statement members
of the Multnomah delegation were di
vided. The amended motion was then
adopted without opposition.
In seeking to have the vetoed bills
set for January 20. Orton was sup
ported by Jaeger, Brandon and Davis.
Those arguing In favor of the Brady
amendment were: Bean. McDonald.
McCue. Jones of Polk. Beals. Bone

NEW BILLS ABE HEAD
Many Measures Presented by
Legislators.
REGULATE AUTO DRIVERS
Measure Would Limit Speed Both on
Country Roads and in Towns.
Proposed to Appoint Senators
to Revise Journal Dally.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 12. (Special.) In or
der to provide arguments for and against
referendum measures, a bill has been
Introduce by Representative Jones, of
Clackamas. When thj Legislature orders
the referendum the President of the Sen
ate shall appoint one Senator and the
Speaker two Representatives to act as a
committee to prepare an argument for
the bill. A similar committee le to pre
pare a contrary argument. These two
arguments are to be printed and bound
with the referendum measure at the ex
pense of the state.
A sharp-toothed eight-hour employment
bill comes from Clackamas County. In
troduced by Representative Campbell. It
provides all "manufacturing, mechanical,
mercantile or other Institutions, which
actively continue the business In which
they are engaged! for 24 hours during
any calendar day. to cause employes to
work more than eight hours a day. except
In emergency. In that event they are
to pay one and one-half times the usual
wage. '
Regulate Auto Drivers.
From Clackamas has come a bill aimed
at autos. It ordains that auto drivers
must exercise every reasonable precau
tion to prevent frightening of horses.
They must stop their autos when they
see a horse frightened until the danger
shall cease. The bill limits auto speed
In towns to eight miles an hour, or
when approaching a horse, and limits to
20 miles an hour the speed on country
roads. On crossings In towns the speed
must not exceed four miles an hour.
The punishments are to be fines of be
tween mo and J100: Imprisonment of be
tween 25 and 60 days or both fine and
imprisonment.
Assault With AVeapons.
Assault witha dangerous weapon with
Intent to kill or wound and to rob or
steal, is to be punished by life Im
prisonment by a bill Introduced by Rep
resentative Dimick, of Clackamas. Such
assault, without a dangerous weapon, la
to be punished by Imprisonment of be
tween & and 15 years.
Extension of the one Regents' Board
of the Normal Schools to ie State Uni
versity and the Agricultural College. Is
the purpose of a bill by Representative
Libby, of Marion. The regents Are to
be five in number, appointed by the
Governor, on or before the first Monday
of June. 190. Representative Jones, of
Douglas, has presented a bill to move the
Ashland Normal to Drain and to abolish
thy Monmouth Normal.
Bank guarantee appeared in the House
today In Representative Orton's bill pat
terned after the Oklahoma law.
Complete Journal Daily.
n.ai-h lias Introduced a resolut-
tlon for the appointment of a committee
of three Senators to revise the Senate
Journal dally. The purpose to to avoid
employment of clerks for 20 to 30 days
after the session to "correct the Jour
nals." This latter practice has prevailed
In the past, and though a great many
f .miliar with legislative methods
have deemed it neceesary, no such reform
move has yet been made In the House.
The Semite sits for three or four hours
a day aud a considerable part of this
time is taken up with debate, which does
not go Into the Journals, The clerks are
required by law to work eight hours a
day.
The Senate slta three to five days a
week, while the clerks draw pay for
seven days a week. Nearly all the mat
ter that goes into the Journal Is In the
shape of printed forms, which are filled
in by the clerks, so that the clerks write
but a very small part of the Journals.
This being true. It Is thought by many
that the Senate Journal ehould be com
plete every night, 60 that a committee
of Senators could look It over and ap
prove it. But though the clerks have
eight hours In which to make up a
formal record of the proceedings of a
three or four-hour session. It has been
the practice In the past to allow the
clerks four hours a day overtime.
One plan that has been proposed Is
that an official stenographer be employed
to take shorthand notes of the proceed
ings and check up the record of the
clerks every night, thus making the Jour
nal complete every day.

afternoon and heard Governor Chamber
lain read his biennial message, includ

When the two houses had assembled,
a committee, consisting of Senators F.
J. Miller, of Linn, and Caldwell, of
Tamhlll, - and Representatives Corrlgan.
of Yamhill: Beals. of Tillamook, and
When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain
remedy had cured numerous cases of female ills, wouldn't
any sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would
also benefit her if suffering with the same trouble ?
Here are two letters which prove the efficiency of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Red Banks, Miss. "Words are Inadequate to express what
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I
suffered from a female disease and weakness which the doc
tors said was caused by a fibroid tumor, and I commenced to -think
there was no help for me. ydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound made me a well woman after all other, means had
failed. My friends are all asking: what has helped me so much,
and I gladly recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. Mrs. Willie Edwards.
Hampstead, Maryland. - Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound I was weak and nervous, and could not
be on my feet half a day without suffering. The doctors told
me I never would be well without an operation, but Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done more for me than all
the doctors, and I hope this valuable medicine may come into
the hands of many more suffering women." Mrs. Joseph II.
Dandy.
We will pay a handsome reward to any person who will
prove to us that these letters are not genuine and truthful
or that either of these women were paid in any way for
their testimonials, or that the letters are published without
their permission, or that the original letter from each did
not come to us entirely unsolicited.
What more proof can any one ask ?
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for
female ills. No sick woman does justice to
herself who will not try this famous medicine.
Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and
has thousands of cures to its credit,
pvr" Mrs. Pinkhara invites all sick women
Le to write her for advice. She has
guided thousands to health free of charge.
Address Sirs. Plnkham, Lynn, Mass.
