MULTNOMAH BENCH
BILL HITS BOCKS
Rough Road Ahead of Meas
ure for Increase of Num
ber of Circuit Judges.
M'GINN'S ATTACKS TELLING
Alternative Measures to Lessen
Work of Present Judges Without
Increasing Expense to Taxpay
er May Be Final Result.
ffTATE CAFTTOL. Sara. Jan. tl.
Special.) Increase of circuit Judgeships
la Multnomah from four to tx la bump
lag along a rock road In the Legislature,
on account of the vigorous objections and
exposures made by Henry E. McGinn, of
Portland.
It la possible the outcome of the dis
pute will be: First, enactment of Bow
rrman's bill directing the Presiding Chief
Justice to send outside Circuit Judges
Into Multnomah to relieve the conges
tion: second, transfer of the Juvenile
Court from the Circuit Court to the
County Court; third, separation of the
County Judge from the County Board of
Commissioners: fourth, creation of the
ffice of third Commissioner and ap
pointment by Governor Chamberlain.
This scheme has proceeded so far
that the Governor has already consid
ered the appointment of a certain man
In Portland, as Commissioner, who is
friendly to Senator Bailey. Chamber
lain is said to be desirous of recognizing
Palley in this manner, on account of
Bailey's rote on l.'nited States Senator.
The Multnomah delegation Is split on
the Judge Increase question, but a ma
jority of Its members probably favor ad
dition of one or two Judges. Country
members of the Legislature mostly oppose
the plan, because of the added expense
It would put on the state.
J. J. Fitzgerald, chief deputy to Dis
trict Attorney Cameron, says he is will
ing to submit his request for higher pay
to the fairness of the Multnomah mem
bers. He says that $1500 Is too low for
Ms heavy work and long hours. The
delegation is aware that Fitzgerald per
forms most of Cameron's duties and Is
the ablest of the deputies. But for the
ru5l of other deputies for more pay,
Fitzgerald's quest weuld be easy.
Blow Aimed at Initiative.
Senator J. N. Smith, of Marlon, has In
troduced a bill which he thinks will for
ever stop the abuse of the Initiative and
referendum. His bill makes it a felony
to pay for the circulation of initiative
and referendum petitions.
Senator Smith be'.leves that If this bill
be passed there will be no resort to the
initiative or referendum except In the
few cases where the movement has very
wrong public sentiment back of It and
where large numbers or people are win
ing to volunteer their services in circu
lating petitions.
Plan to Cut Down Calendar.
Senator F. J. Miller, of Linn and Lane,
today established a money-saving policy
In the Senate. He called attention to the
fact that a number of resolutions are
being carried on the calendar every day,
though they have been withdrawn or in
definitely postponed. This entails a use
less expense for printing and paper and
also leads to confusion. He secured the
adoption of a resolution for the appoint
ment of a committee to revise the calen
dar every day. striking out all dead mat
ter. To Regulate Berry Boxes.
Senator Nottingham this morning in
troduced S. B. 95 for the purpose of re
quiring that hereafter all berry boxes
for use in this state shall contain 53.4S
rublo Inches. Inside. This Is the size of
the box now used by the Hood River
berry-growers and the size most gener
ally used throughout the state, though
there are a few growers and shippers
using a smaller box. The bill requires
that boxes, or hallocks. as they are
called, shall be 4S Inch's square outside
and Z Inches deep Inside, and contain
cubic inches. Boxes already made
may be used, but none hereafter made
shall be used unless they conform to the
size specified in the bill. The bill car
ries an emergency cHuse, but a smile
that passed over the Senate when the
bill was read Indicates that the emer
gency clause will be cut off.
Keep Journal Posted Cp.
President Bowerman today appointed
Senators Miller. Albee and Oliver on the
committee to revise the Senate Journal
dally. A resolution was adopted author
izing the committee to employ a chief
clerk and a stenographer and to revise
the Senate Journal every evening and
report it the following morning for ap
proval. This Is intended to make the
Senate Journal complete wnen the Sen
ate adjourns sine die.

Oregon's A.-Y.-P. Commission En
tangled in Aftermath of State
ment Fight.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 21. (Special.) Un
less the Seattle Exposition Commission
can convince the probing committee of
the Oregon Legislature that more money
Is absolutely necessary, it will not get
an additional appropriation. It wants
50.000 added to last session's appropria
tion of 110.000. There la vigorous oppo
sition in - the capital against allowing
any more money, and if any shall be
granted it is certain that the sum will
be much less than the $50,000 asked.
Senator Bailey, chairman of the prob
ing committee. Indicated this tonight af
ter a meeting of the committee. The
other members are Senator Wood, of
Washington, and Representatives Greer,
of Washington.- Eaton of Lane, and
Ifawley of Polk. Eaton Is secretary.
Members of the Oregon commission are
accused of charging up extravagant per
sonal expenses against the state on their
trips to Seattle. This criticism Is di
rected at Wehrung and Wisdom. When
they first began their visits 80-cent
meals sufficed, but latterly the meals
have cost the state $1 and sometimes
III, while the charge for rooms has
been $3 a day. In addition the commis
sioners have collected $10 a day salary.
The situation is further complicated
by Wehrung's having exacted a State
ment pledge from Senator Barrett, of
Washington County, before the election
last June. Barrett was nominated by
Republicans opposed to the Statement,
but Wehrung and his fellow Democrats
are said to have forced him, to take the
Statement by threats of defeat In elec
tion. 8enator Wood and Representative
Greer. antl-Statment . legislators of
Washington County, are members of the
probing committee.
The committee resolved tonight to call
on the Secretary of State for an account
of the Oregon commission. Wehrung,
In urging the appropriation, declared
that no more would be reeded. The
new appropriation will have hard sled
ding on both ways and means commit
tees. - The commission has $47,000 on hand,
which the committee thinks ought to
be sufficient.

OLTMPIA, Wash., Jan. ZL (Special.)
aiemners or tne Washington Legislature
are ' hopelessly at outs on what Is the
proper construction of the term ."reason
able local option law." as Indorsed in the
Republican state platform. The discus
sions in committee on the local option
Dins now Derore the Legislature gives
no Inkling of what the bill as Anally
passed. If passed at all, will provide.
The phrase "reasonable local option bill"
is becoming a Joke among the members,
and C. W. Howard, of Belllngham. re
puted author of the local option plank in
the platform, has been compelled to run
a gauntlet of inquiry and joshes since
his arrival in the city yesterday.
The Senate committee, it Is said to
day, will likely make three reports on
the anti-saloon bill, although It Is prob
able that there will be a majority report
n favor of the passage of the bill with a
few minor amendments.
Three members of the committee.
Ruth, Booth and Knickerbocker, will
likely present a substitute measure, and
Met calf, of Pierce, will report amend
ments eliminating cities of the first class
from the application of the county unit
in voting on the saloon question. Under
his amendments cities of the first class
would be units in themselves and other
precincts and Incorporated towns In first
class counties would be separate units.
He proposes to let the county unit stand
in its application to other than first-class
counties.
Metcalf also proposes to amend what
has been termed the "Heads I win, tails
you lose ' section, wnicn permits me
county to control all' precincts if the
county votes dry, but not to control all
precincts if the county votes wet.
Knickerbocker. Kutn ana .tsootn pro

cinct unit, voting on the saloon question
at general elections and will eliminate
first, second and third class cities from
the nro visions of the act In the absence
of any vote on the question County Com
missioners will be prohibited from grant
ing saloon licenses in country precincts
except upon petition of a majority of
the qualified electors thereof.

VOUCHERS TO I BE REQUTRED
Measure to Estop Graft Rnmors in
Fair Fund Matters.
OLTMPIA, Wash.. Jan. 21. (Special.)
Apparently for the purpose of eliminating
all opportunity for future charges or ru
mors of graft in the expenditure of the
$400,000 A.-Y.-P. state buildings appro
priations, an amendment to the 1907 law
was adopted by the Senate today re
quiring the fair committee to present
vouchers to the State Auditor before any
warrants are Issued.
In appropriating $600,000 for university
bills and $400,000 for state buildings at the
exposition, the ast Legislature provided
for the issuance of warrants against the
special funds upon requisition. The
university regents have been presenting
vouchers. ' but the Fair Commissioners,
in drawing on the $400,000, have been tak
ing out the warrants In lump amounts

and expending them without making any
accounting to the state. About $60,000
has thus been drawn, but in a manner
permitted by the act.
This method of drawing warrants was
called to the attention of the Senate to
day when the bill extending till 1M1
the unexpended balance of the $400,000
was before It for consideration. The
bill had passed the House without amend
ments. The Senate changed It so that
vouchers must be presented before war
rants are lsssued. The amendments were
concurred In by the House and as the
bill increases the Interest on the war
rants and guarantees, the payment of
the Interest from the general fund, the
construction of the Washington State
buildings, heretofore threatened to re
main at a standstill, will likely proceed
without further delay.

TAX FIGHT OPENS
First Move in Anti - Commis
sion War at Olympia.
BILLS JO REPEAL OLD LAW
Passage Would Indicate Tliat legis
lature Considers State Assessing
Board for Railroad Prop
erty a Failure.
OIrilFIA. TV'ash.. Jan. 2L (Special.)
The first move In the promised fight on
the Tax Commission was made in the
Legislature today when duplicate bills
were presented In the House and Senate
providing for the repeal of the law of
1S07, which puts the assessments of all
operating railroad and telegraph, prop
erty under the control of the Tax Com
mission, subject to revision by the State
Board of Equalization.
If these bills should pass It would mean
that the Legislature looks upon a state
assessing board for railroad property as
a failure, as shown by the valuations
fixed last September. The 1307 law was
called into operation for the first time In
1908 and the fignres .returned on railroad
property caused dissatisfaction In a
number of counties. The principal 00
lectlon came from Fierce, where the
County Assessor has been waging a
campaign against the Tax Commission
ever since the sitting of the State Board
of Equalization, He has the support of
Assessors in other parts of the state
who desire to once more be given the
authority to assess railroad property.
The bills Introduced today came from
Pierce County members In both houses.
Under the 1907 law the Tax Commis
sion ascertains the total value of the
operating property of each railroad and
distributes the valuation among the
counties on a basis determined by the
number ot miles of right of way In each
county. The result has been that the
terminal properties in Tacoma and Seat
tle have been distributed over the entire
system of the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific. Instead of remaining to the
exclusive benefit of the terminal coun
ties. '
The bills, however, are aimed as much
at the Tax Commission as at the method,
as it Is contended that the Commission
Included as operating property valuable
railroad holdings that were commercial
property. The loss of what is claimed to
be commercial property and assessable
for the exclusive benefit of Pierce County
Is what really started the movement. In
the event of the passage of the bill re
verting to the old Assessor method, it is
likely the Tax Commission will secure
the Introduction of a bill permitting each
county to assess all railroad property
therein except rights of way and rolling
stock and leave the assessment of the
latter to the Commission, to be dis
tributed on a mileage basis.
This plan was advocated by J. H. Eas
terday, ex-member of the Tax Commis
sion, before the County Commissioners'
convention, which has Just closed Its
sessions here.

prior to the passage of the local option
law, Is not valid, and consequently a
jury returned 170 damages.
Brooks Brothers sued Charles Moores
for $270. it being alleged liquor fix
tures had been removed from their
place of business at Silverton and had
been disposed of. The court held as a
point of law that in this case no one
but a Sheriff may use police power, as

Recorder held office became operative.
