THE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAX, MONDAY. JANUARY 18, 1909. READY TO TACKLE OF SESSION Legislature Will This Week Take Up Consideration of Proposed Laws. . FEWER BILLS THAN USUAL Xnmlm of Measure Submitted Is Only 69, as Compared With 128 During First 'Week Two Tears Ago. Havtnsr completed the details of organi sation. It la to be expected that both branches of the Oregon legislature this week will tackle with earnestness the Mny problems of legislation that will be presented for consideration. hen Presl dent Bowermnn and Speaker McArthur today announce the standing committees in the two houses, the machinery neces sary for the enactment of laws and the repeal of objectionable statutes will be complete. Much of the time of the Sen ate and House this week undoubtedly will be taken up in the Introduction of bills, their second reading and reference to proper committees. Adjourn Thursday or Friday. If the Senatorial election la disposed of Tuesday and Wednesday, the two branches of the Legislature In all prob ability will adjourn either Thursday aft ernoon or Friday morning until next Monday. By that time practically all of the bills that aliall have been Intro duced in each house will be read and referred to committees and It Is custom ary during the second week of the ses sion to adjourn about that time in the week that the work of the different committees In their consideration of bills may be expedited. However, should the Legislature fall to elect a Senator early In the week. It will be necessary for both houses to meet In Joint assem bly at noon every day, Sunday "ex cepted, during the session and ballot for Senator until an election takes place. As a bill-producing Legislature the ir session la not keeping up with the pace set by the state's salons at the ses sion two years ago. At the close of the first week of the 1P07 session both houses a.ljourned at the same time In the week, Wednesday afternoon, there had been a total of 128 bills presented In the two houses. When the Senate and Houn adjourned last Wednesday the toTal num ber of measures that had been submitted was only O. Kurlng the tlrst week two years aso. the Senate introduced 69 bills as against ?5 this year, whiie the House two yean, ago, led the House of this ses sion with S3 bills Introduced as against 4A May Be Swamped Today. However, several of the members of the two houses have been exceedingly busy since the Wednesday adjournment and it would not be surprising If the dsk clerks would be swamped with new bills today. At any rate It may safely be predicted that there will be no deficit in the number of measures proposed by the close of the week. At the same time th?re are those who are hopeful that the legislators may keep at a minimum the number of bills to be lntrodu-ed and considered that remedial legislation may be assured. During the week a Joint committee from the Senate and House undoubtedly will be appointed to confer with a like committee that already has been named by the Washington Legislature, regard ing Columbia River fisheries. The Wash ington Legislature last week appointed a committee of eight members, four from each house, with Instructions to meet with a delegation from the Oregon Leg islature and decide on some uniform leg islation that not only will be In the In terest of the salmon industry but will be satisfactory to both states. The purpose of reaching some mutual understanding on the subject of this leg islation is to make possible the enforce ment of fishing laws by having the same legislation on the statute books of both states. In that way. It is argued, can the confusion of the last year be avoided In the future. OFFICERS GET BAD SCARE Smallpox Victim Calmly Presents Himself at Police Station. Fear stalked Into police headquarters yesterday morning when John II. John son, a victim of smallpox, entered, and desk officers and detectives went hurry ing out of the plsce. Johnson was. in deed, already badly marked by the disease, which, had evidently progressed to an alarming stage. He walked Into the station In the company of a stranger. The stranger smiled a curious smile and seemed to be enjoying a Joke of some kind. "Here's a prisoner for you." announced the stranger smilingly, "and he's got smallpox." A quick glance at the patient corrobor ated the announcement and the officers ordered both out of the building. Patrol Driver G ruber forced the stranger out into the street, while captain Bailey sum moned City Physician Ziegler. Both the stranger and the patient waited on the outside until the arrival of the physician, who sent Johnson to the peethouse and ordered a thorough fumigation of the station.

"W have a warrant for yon and you will have to go to the Police Court with w" I flatly refused to go. of course I told them my word was Itood for appearance the next morning. One of my sons offered to so lo my place and aid he would not let his mother so. I phoned to the Chief of Police, but got no satisfaction from him. The two policemen followed me upstairs into my private apart ments in fact right Into my bedroom. I assured them I would so down any time they set. but not with either of them. During this time, the other officer kept saying. "Get the wagon." Finally after some 20 minutes had passed, the- policeman who served the warrant said I could avoid going down with them by paying them 10. for which they themselves were not allowed to give me a receipt. This morning I was fined tS for falling to clean the snow off my promisee, within four hours after the snowfall. Hlght here Is the point of my letter. The law as I heard It mentions "four hour after the snow falls," and yet at dark last nirht the snow on the sid walks around Chief cf Police Grlta machefs residence had not been touched, and had not been since the first snowfall. Why not arrest Chief Orltsmacher and fine him SS? There would be as much Justice In doing so as fining me. a widow. By 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon I had 400 lineal feet of sidewalks well cleaned. I venture to state right here that there Is not In the city 100x100 with even a trail made on It (unoccupied property) unless It belonrs to some unfortunate widow. Across the street from me. the side, by the way, that has the most travel, there Is a 100-foot lot belonging to Joe Smith, a rich man of the city, which has not been touched. But the officious officers do not see this. All around me my neighbors have not been even notified to shovel snow, and yet Judge Van Zante savs the law must be obeyed. He fines a widow 12 hours sfter the work has been accomplished, and the Deputy City At torney win make a joint of the Couch street side not being cleaned before, when CAUCUS PUN TO SENATORIAL FIGHT Anti-Chamberlain Members to Hold Session at Sa lem Tonight.

It Is pretty well settled that Abbctt and Clemens, of Multnomah, will get the committees on ways and means and Insurance, respec tively, while Dodds Is said to be slated for railroads, a chairmanship on which Brady had counted as a reward for his active support of McArthurs candidacy for the Speakership. The chairmanship of Judiciary and revision of laws, it Is believed, will be awarded to two of the three following Representatives, all of whom supported McArthur: Brooke, Rusk or Diraick. Other important chairmanships in the House organization, it is rumored, will be placed about as follows: Medicine and pharmacy, Jones of Clackamas, Bones or Belknap; commerce.

(To the Edi tor. ) A few days ago The Oregon lan pub lished an article on the religious faith ef the presidents of the United States, and left la doubt the religion of Thomas Jef ferson.

Last Summer. 1 was Informed that I must have thistles, etc. cut wltntn 24 hours from my vacant lots and I did so I heard of suother widow who was ordered twice during the season to have the same thing done, and yet the law fell through when It came lo the men property-owuers having to do tne same.

Yesterday morning about 0:30 o'ctock a policeman rar.g my door-bell and Informed rne that I mutt have the snow shoveled from sidewalks In front of my place at once. t tiid him I did not know whether I should do so or not. as my neighbors had not s"en nt to do this and that he had better notify some of the men property-owners in the neighborhood, tnstoad of Jumping upon a widow who had her hands arid head full of business. I was thinking more ahout getting a plumber to attend to broken water pipes In the building, than a man for cleaning sidewalks. I then said that I would ret a man to clean awav the snow as soon as I could and that the snow had b-en twice cleaned off the front o" feet.

AND FAMILY. Children's shoes at factory coat make at Rosenthal's. Best purpose of determining on a plan of action by which to defeat the Gov ernor's election as Senator. In the Senate there are 11 anti-Statement members, while in the House there are 27 Representatives who are opposed to the Governor's election. Everyone of these 88 legislators is expected to at tend, together with at least one State ment member. Senator Scholfleld. holdover Senator from Clatsop County. When tonight's caucus has deter mined on a definite programme, the anti-Statement forces will direct their efforts towards inducing a sufficient number of the Statement members to Join their Republican associates and prevent the election of Chamberlain. The opposition to the Governor repre sents that while it will be necessary for them to enlist only Bix of the Statement men in their cause, they have assurances from ten of the pledged members in the two houses that they will refuse to vote for Cham berlain on the initial ballot tomorrow. This will be more than enough to block the Governor's election, although the arstis admit that it remains to be seen how the Statement men will act, and whether or not they will deliver the promised votes. Want Governor to Resign. Of the Statement members In the Sen ate, Bingham, of Lane, and Nottingham, of Multnomah, according to Chamberlain's foes, have declared repeatedly that they will not vote for the Governor in com pliance with their pledges until he will agree to resign the Governorship imme diately following his election as Senator. That Is the only condition. It is reported, on which these two Statement Senators will cast their votes for Chamberlain. The position of these two members is made the more perplexing manifestly from the fact that the announcement liaa come from the office of the atate'a executive a number of times during the lest week that he will not agree to resign In event of his election to the Senate. It has been decided by the presiding officers of the two Houses to announce the standing committees of both depart ments of the legislative organization when the Senate and House convene this morning and afternoon, respectively. For several days last week there was talk of deferring the announcement of these com mittees until after the first ballot on Senator has been taken Tuesday, In order that It could be seen how the Statement men, who have been making promises of support to the opposition, should behave when the time came to go on record with their vote. But after thoroughly consid ering this proposal, the ant is concluded not to resort to that extremity for the reason that they did not want any step Incident to the Senatorial fight In any way to obstruct the legislative proceed ings of the session and for the further reason that k was feared such a course might prove futile. Committees to Be Announced. Both President Bowerman and Speaker McArthur have maintained si lence as to the composition of the long list of committees that will be an nounced today. In the Senate it is gen erally reported that the chairmanship of several of the important committees will in all probability be distributed as follows: Irrigation, Merry man: medicine and pharmacy. Cole; rail roads, Coffey: judiciary. Hart: revision of laws. Barrett; ways and means, Nottingham; assessment and taxation, Bingham. In the House- the distribution ex de nied Into any system of religious faith. Yet some try to make it appear that they were religious men. They at times used some "ploua" phrases, and this has caused many to think that they were religious men. There seems to be a determination on the part of many to make it appear that Thomas Jefferson was merely a deist or even an atheist. I believe that this is very wrong. A man should be permitted to speak for himself on the question of his religion. Jefferson was a regular attendant at the Episcopal Church at Charlottsvlile, Va., and contributed to Its support, and de clared in 1823 that he had been a member of that church from his infancy. On pages 412 and 413 of Bishop Brown's "Church for Americans" is published a letter written by Jefferson August 10, 18:3, in reply to solicitations for contributions from him for the support of religion, and in this letter be says, "I have been, from my infancy, a mem ber of the Episcopalian Church, and to that I owe and make my contributions." Bishop Brown says that he had that letter before him when he published the statement that Jefferson was ati least a bap tised member and adherent of the Epis copal Church. See page 299 of the book referred to. 5arah N. Randolph, a grand daughter of Jefferson, in a letter printed by Bishop Brown on page 413 of his book, says: "It may Interest you to know that I have Mr. Jefferson's little pocket prayer book, which he used in his constant attend ance at the Episcopal Church in Charlotts vlile. For a long time,, too, there was in the possession of my family a little folding or camp stool of his own Invention, sp made that it looked, when closed, like stout cane. This he carried In hand, though on horseback, and used as his seat in church." At this time he lived" two or three miles from Charlottsvlile. Jefferson had many enemies as well as friends, and among his enemies were many parsons of the pqlltlcal sort whom ho greatly disliked and denounced. To these men he seemed hardly a Christian, and possibly he viewed them as they did klm. It seems to me to be wrong not to give Jefferson credit for being a member of a church, when he said that he had been a member from his Infancy especially when It is shown that he was a regular attend ant at church and contributed to the sup port of the church of which be was a member.

NICK R ELIEF FOR RHEUMATISM Effect on the Blood Is Like the Feel of Sun shine on a Wet Day. PECULIAR INFLUENCE OF SOAP LAKE SALTS Supplies Just the Element the Blood Needs to Conquer Impurities Rapid Efitect. 'Aching, swollen muscles and stiffening joints can always b'e traced to impure blood. The blood becomes tainted and overcharged, and re fuses to carry away the waste matter and build up worn-out tissues. Then the muscles become sore and jerky, your joints pain and you are in danger of becoming clumsy and bent. In Soap Lake Salts has been found a remedy that no chemist or ' pharmacist has been able to compound or imitate. The salts come from that eighth wonder of the world, Soap Lake, Douglas County, "Wash ington,"and their efficacy in rheumatism has astounded all who have seen the quick, wonderful effects of its use. A small dose, taken regularly, affects the blood in a way that gives it strength and vigor to perform its functions of cleansing and nourishing the system. In case after case hundreds of cases right here in the Northwest it has permanently cured acute rheumatism in various Btages even when the suffering and tortured victims were bedridden or hobbling around on crutches. These properties are peculiar to Soap Lake Salts. The salts are as natural for the blood to absorb as is food or drink for the stomach. Soap Lake Salts possess properties that go rio-ht to the source of rheumatic trouble the combination that cleanses the blood from disease. Atrial costs almost nothing no pos sible harm can come from it your money back if you do not feel quick benefit. FOR SALE AT ALL DRUGGISTS.

Senator Coffey Fathers Measure In tended to Bring About Better Ar rangement of Oregon In Re gard to Political Division. At the request of prominent members of the Multnomah delegation, Senator Coffey this week will introduce In the Senate a Joint resolution proposing an amendment to the state constitution re districting the state into Senatorial and Representative districts. A similar reso- lutlon was introduced in the House by Representative Mahone last week but the authors of the second resolution con sider that Its provisions are more spe ciflo and at the same time incorporate fully the objects sought to- be attained by the one proposed by Mahone. The resolution to be introduced oy Senator Coffey directs that the state shall be apportioned Into Senatorial and Representative districts, for the purpose of apportioning the legislative represen tation of the state, on the second Mon day In August of the year following the taking of the Federal and state census The division of the state under the pro posed amendment shall be limited to 30 Senatorial and 60 Representative districts and it shall be made by a board, consist ing of the Governor, Secretary of State, and State Treasurer. It is further pro vided that the division so providing shall be based on the population of the state and that only one Senator and one Kep resentatlve shall be elected from eacn Senatorial and Representative district, respectively. This would keep the mem bership of the Legislature at a total of 9030 Senators and 60 Representatives as at present. Preserve County Lines. The amendment also provides that in creating the new districts, existing county boundary lines shall be recog nized and that no district swan De created com-oosed of portions of two or more counties, although districts may be composea or two or mure cuunues. "There is no question but that a re apportionment of the state into sena torial and Representative districts, on a basis of population, will give Multnomah County a larger representation in the Legislature." said "W. H. Chapin, mem ber of the House from this county In the 1&07 session yesterday. "I have been informed by those who have figured the nroDosed reapportionment that in the House Multnomah would have about 17 Representatives as against 12 and one Joint delegate as at present. "But it Is not the Increased representa tion Multnomah County might gain un der such a plan that commends the pro posed amendment to me. Representation on a basis of population is the only fair way by which the state can be redis trlcted and if this county is entitled to more Represenatives and Senators, it Is only a matter of Justice that we should have an enlarged representation. "What I claim for the amendment, if it is adopted, is that the standard of the state Legislature will be elevated through the election of a more represent- aUu u4 class of citizens. J For Instance In this county, the elecifcrs, instead of voting for half a dozen Sena tors and IS Representatives, would only be called on to vote for one Senator and one Representative, they to be elected by the voters of the particular district from which they were candidates. This plan would give the elector an opportu nity personally to determine me quau flcatlons of the different candidates. he did not already know, so that when he went to the voting booth he would be prepared to vote intelligently. "This Is the great advantage I con tend certainly will follow the plan by which the state shall be divided into these districts. It Is true that the oper ation of the amendment would not bring about such decided changes in the outly lng counties where, even under the pres ent system, the men running for elec tion to either branch of the Legislature are generally known to their constituents throughout the district from wnicn tney ar elected. But. at the same time, the proposed change In the present order of nominating and electing men to the Legislature could only redound In the interest of a more representative ana capable lot of men being sent to Salem to make laws for us.

She writes: "It Is two years since we began using Postuni In our house. I was greatly troubled with my stomach, complexion was blotchy and yellow. After meals I often suffered sharp pains and would have to lie down. My mother often told me it was the coffee I drank at meals. But when I'd Quit coffee I'd have a severe headache. While visiting my mother-in-law I remarked that she always made such good coffee, and asked her to tell me how. She laughed and told me it was easy to make good coffee when you use Postum. 'I began to use Postum as soon as I got home, and now we have the same good 'coffee' (Postum) every day, and I have no more trouble. Indigestion is a thing of the past, and my complexion has cleared up beautifully. 'My grandmother suffered a great deal with her stomach. Her doctor told her to leave off coffee. She then took tea but that was lust as bad. 'She finally was Induced to try Postum, which she has used for over a year. She traveled during the winter over the greater part of Iowa, visiting, something she had not been able to do for years. She says she owes her pres ent good, health to Postum."
