"MORE" BILLS ARE PASSED
Higher Pay Measures Are Put
Through Both House Only One
to Meet Death Is Senator Bai
ley's Columbia County Bill.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Feb. t-
(Special.) Salary log rollers In both
houses discarding party lines today suc
ceeded in overriding vetoes of Governor
Chamberlain on bills to Increase the
pay of the Sheriff of Harney County
and School Superintendent of Polk
and to grant fees to the Sheriffs of
Malheur and Lake. The Harney veto
mut yet be voted down in the House
before becoming a law and the two
other vetoes must b so disposed of in
the Senate.
Today's action of the two bodies Indi
cates quite conclusively that the two
bodies will reciprocate In this matter. The
Harney veto was overridden in the Sen
ate by 23 members supporting the bill and
the two other vetoes In the House were
overcome by a vote of 37 to IS in the case
of the Polk County School Superintendent
and 62 to 4 in the case of the Sheriffs'
fees in Malheur and Lake. Speaker Mc
Arthur on the House floor declared the
Governor was playing politics and Act
ing Speaker McCue said every veto of the
Governor ought to be overridden. All
three bills Increase the pay of the respec
tive county officers 90 days after adjourn
ment of the Legislature. The Governor
vetoed them on the ground that the
larger pay should rot be given during the
tenure of the present Incumbents.
Ten bills have now passed over the
veto in both houses, seven of the pre
ceding session. Five of the seven ap
propriate money for district fairs, one
protects elk and another makes wages
of public officers subject to garnish
ments. Not only these "more" bills became
laws, but three others were put up to
the Governor, by passage of these higher-pay
Senate bills through the House;
' Chase's raising the pay of the Clerk of
Curry County from J1000 to 1200;
Oliver's raising the Deputy Recorder
of Vnlon County from JS00 to $900:
and Hart's raising the Circuit Judge of
Baker County from $3000 to $4000.
"More" bills that passed their parent
house were: Senator Parrish's raising
the Treasurer of Harney from $700 to
$1000: Parrish's raising the Harney
School Superintendent from $500 to
$1000; Parrish's raising the Grant As
sessor from $1200 to $1400; Represen
tative Bears Increasing deputies for
the Tillamook Assessor, County Clerk
and Sheriff all these bills go into ef
fect 90 days after the session.
The only increase bill that met death
today was Senator Bailey's Indefin
itely postponed In the House raising
the Columbia Treasurer to $900, the
Deputy County Clerk to' $1000 and the
School Superintendent to $1200. Rep
resentative Conyers caused their de-
fCThe Quickness of the Legislators In
uniting against the vetoes presages a
general combination for enactment of
a long string of "more" salary bills.
These measures are the particular pet
- of the several county delegations. The
counties affected by the higher salary
hills number 28 out of the 34 In the
state. There are other salary bills
applvlng to every county, notably sev
eral" Increasing the pay of Circuit
Judges from $3000 to $4000.
Horde of Bills for Now Jobs.
A horde of bills creating new Jobs,
most of them at fat pay. have Invaded
the Legislature no less than 200 new
..,! ot the nie counter being provided
for. How far the combination against
the Governor, as signalled today, will
extend for enactment of these bills, it
Is impossible yet to foretell. It is not
unlikely that developments along this
line will take place. Many members
if the Legislature consider it essential
to create a Board of Control or some
other agency to assist Secretary of
State Benson In discharging the double
riutles of his office and or uovernor,
particularly on account of Benson's
ill health.
In view of the many bills providing
fnr "more" It was a relief today when
Representative Brooke's bill, providing
for a reduction in the salary of the
County Judge of Malheur County from
$1S00 to $1200, passed the House. The
most remarkable thing about this bill
was that the petition asking that the
alary be reduced was signed by the
present County Judge of that county
who asked further that the reduction
in salary, amounting to $50 a month,
take effect immediately and ni.t be de
ferred until the close of his term.
The salary question was presented In
the Senate when Parrish's Senate bill
123, to raise the compensation of the
Treasurer of Harney County from $70
to iW came up on third reading. As
soon iw the bill had been rend. Selling,
of Multnomah, moved that the bill be
re-referred with Instructions to amend by
Inserting a section declaring that the act
shall not become effective until the end
of the term of the present incumbent.
This was voted down after discussion,
and then Selling moved to re-refer, with
instructions to insert a section providing
that the act shall bo voted upon by the
people of Harney County and shall be
come effective only after It has been ap
proved by a majority of the voters. This
wae also voted down and the bill was
placed upon final passage.
Senator SIlln?'s attitude was one of
opposition to bills raising salaries during
the term of oftlce for which a man has
been elected and he asserted that when
a man becomes a candidate he docs so
with -the understanding that he is wil
ling to take the -office at the compensa
tion provided by law.
Harney County Favors Increase.
Senator Parrlsh asserted that this raise
In the salary of the Treasurer of Harney
County is desired by the people of that
county and that the Treasurer took the
office upon the understanding that the
salary would be raised.
Senator Hodges said: 'The people of
Harney County sent Senator Parrlsh here
to represent them. They evidently' had
confidence in him and I have great re
spect for him. I am willing to support
this bill upon bis recommendation, as
suming that be knows what the people of
bis county want."
Senator Bingham took a shot at Sen
ator Selling as the "champion ad
Journer" of the session anT asked
whether Selling proposed to be the cham
pion objector to raises In salaries. This
remark called out Senator Abraham,
who said that if Senator Selling has
raxned the title of "champion adjourner,"
Senator Parrlsh has certainly earned the
title of "ohamplon salary-raiser." Parrish
then got the floor long enough to hand
Abraham a compliment by saying "I
would as soon be called the boss salary
raiser of the Senate as to pose as the
constitutional lawyer of the Senate and
have all my bills turned down.'
Miller of Linn. Smith of Marion and
Smith of fmatilla took the view that
some provision should be made by which
the county salary question could be left
to the county authorities. They thought
It an Improper matter to occupy the at
tention of the Legislature. Albee op
posed raising salaries during a man's
term of office, except In rare instances
when special reason is shown for tho
raise.
Kay Whacks Salary Kaisers.
Senator Kay whacked the salary raisers
by declaring that in the campaign prior
to election he never hear a single can
didate say he expected to have his sal-
arv raised, DUt as soon as men bi
office they pester the life out of the mem
bers of the Legislature to get their com
pensation increased. Ho thought the Leg
islature should be grateful to the Gov
ernor for pointing out a way to stop this
demand. "And I want to tell you right
here," exclaimed Kay, "Just such work as
this is what has made Chamberlain so
popular with the people. Every session
of the Legislature passes a lot of bills
Increasing public expense and thus gives
the Governor a chance to veto them. The
people approve the vetoes and that Is
what makes Chamberlain so popular. If
these salary bills were submitted to a
vote of the p?ople of the counties af
fected, nine ut of ten of them would
be turned down at the polls."
The votes on final passage of the Par
rifih bill was as follows:
Senators Bailey. Barrett. Beach, Bing
ham, Caldwell, Chase. Coffey. Cole. Hart,
Hedges. Johnson, Merryman. Miller (Linn
and Marion). Mulit. Nottingham, Oliver,
Tarrtsh, Schollield, Sinnott, Smith

Insisted on an immediate consideration
ot the Governor's vetoes. He said:

tendent in Polk County Is not paid what
he should be and this bill should be
passed."
With some desultory debate and coun
ter motions, the roll-call was finally pro
ceeded with. Those who followed the
voting saw that the ballot resulted 37
ayes. 16 noes and 7 absent. There was
Bome hesitancy on the part of McCue in
announcing the result, when Mahone
proposed that the result of the vote be
not announced until next Friday. This
was not entertained and when those who
would pass the bill over the Governor's
veto had had a good scare, McCue re
marked: "Every one of these vetoed bills should
be passed over the action of the Gov
ernor." McCue then announced the vote, de
claring that the bill had passed, since
it requires only a two-thirds vote of the
members present and voting to override
the executive's veto.
There was less discussion preceding
the vote on the bill affecting the Sher
iffs of Malheur and Lake counties. It
was passed by a vote of 63 ayes, 4 noes

WATER BILL IS AGREED TO
Conflicting Interests Tleld to Ie
mand for legislation.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 2.
(Special.) The conflicting Interests
that have been at war over the question
of water-legislation reached a practical
agreement tonight, and It Is expected
that the Conservation Commission's
Senate bill 77, with a few amendments,
will be favorably reported and passed.
Upon the proposition that there must be
legislation there was no discussion to
night.
While the owners of power plants
and the commission have not finally
agreed upon one section of the bill, that
protecting vested rights, it was said
this evening by F. T. Griffith, of the
Portland General Electric, and by J. N
Teal, of the Conservation Commission,
that there Is no doubt that an agree
ment will be reached. This section will
define vested rights so as to protect
the use of water where already put to
beneficial use by riparian owners or
lessees, or where riparian owners are
proceeding in good faith to develop
their powers, or where approprtators
are proceeding In good faith to put the
water to beneficial use-
One point relates to a 40-year limit
to power rights hereafter granted. The
cower Interests represented by tirimtn
are taking no part in the discussion of
this subject, but H. V. Gates and a few
others oppose a limit to power rights.
The commission will Insist upon the in
sertion of a limitation clause.
It was stated today"from what seemed
an authoritative source that Governor
Chamberlain will take steps to help the
passage of a water code if the Legtsla
ture should seem unwilling to pass it,
and this. It Is thought, had an effect In
bringing the conflicting Interests to
gether.

H ERR IN GETS BETTER JOB
Harriman's Chief Aid Promoted to
Second Place in System.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2. According to
a story printed in a morning paper here
today, W. F. Herrin, head of the Western
law department of the Southern Paclflo
and executive representative of El H.
Harrlman in the transcontinental rail
Railway, will become the personal agent
way system, now controlled by the rail
road magnate. It is said that Herrin will
be succeeded by Peter F. Dunne, who is
now general attorney for the road. W.
F. Herrin has recently returned from a
trip to New York, where it is stated he
held a conference with Harrlman. which
led to the offer. It Is sal the attorney
will receive a salary of I100.000 a year.
At the conference it is said the only hitch
in the proceedings was Herrin's indispo
sition to leave California, so it was ar
ranged that he is to maintain his resi
dence here. The paper also asserts that
Dunne will have nothing to do with the
Southern Pacific political bureau, which
was said to have been conducted by Her
rin, and it maintains that this department
has been turned over to Walter Parker,
of Los Angeles.
It is well known that Harrlman has
long reposed the greatest confidence in
the Judgment of the company's attorney
and when the work of the great railway
system under his control became too
cumbersome for him to handle, it is said
that he determined to secure his services
In more than legal matters.
Dunne, who is said to be slated as Her
rin's successor, has been remarkably suc
cessful In the extensive litigation . to
which the Southern Pacific has been sub
jected. It is said that the contemplated changes
will go into effect some time at the be
ginning of the next fiscal year. In prep
aration for them, Paul Shoup has recent
ly relieved Herrin of the control of cer
tain of Harriman's private interests on
this Coast, andt the latter has Just finished
a trip of Inspection over the Mexican
lines controlled by the magnate.
Rumors printed locally that W. D.
Fenton, of Portland, will succeed
Herrin at San Francisco; that E. E.
Calvin will go East, and that J. P.
O'Brien will take his place are scouted
by local officials of the Harrlman sys
tem. They have no information tend
ing to support such supposed changes,
and place no credence In the reports.
Last Coin Buys Ills Death.
SEATTLE.' Feb. 2. John Farrell. 29

YOU use Ivory Soap?
For the bath?
Good! But why not
for the toilet as well?
There is no purer or bet

soap that leaves the skin

clean.
And it is inexpensive.,
too costs only a few
cents a cake.

by professional circulators, paid by cer
tain interests, conspicuously rival salmon
factions of the Columbia River. Not

could be placed before the people in the

Selling insisted that the bill was
planned to obstruct the Initiative and ref

Legislature would enact more this session
than the people could in 20 years.

Thousands know by personal experience that an outward application of
Minard's Liniment relieves pain and brings peace of mind and body, and we
propose to enable those who have never usedT Minard's Liniment, to test its
merits at our expense, by inviting them to call at any of the Druggists
named below, today or tomorrow, and get a bottle, free for the asking.
When you realize that Minard's Liniment had its birth in the prescnp
tion of the late Doctor Levi Minard, who used it and recommended it in his
private practice, fifty-five years ago, and that by personal recommendation
it has since come into universal use, and that each year an increasing number
of people use it, you begin to appreciate that our confidence in its merit is
but reflecting the faith expressed by those who depend upon it, who know
by experience that it is best for them, that it stands alone as the most
effective, economical and clean-to-use external application for rheumatism,
neuralgia, pleurisy, stiff, twisted joints, sore, strained, or lame muscles,
tired, aching feet, or any pain or ache.
Marvelous Cure of Rheumatism
Mr. C. Howland, of 19 Bunker Hill Street, Charlestown, Massv writes,
'I wish I had used Minard's Liniment sooner than I did, because it would
have saved me a great deal of pain and lots of money. For seven weeks I
had to sit on the edge of my bed with my feet resting on the floor, but with
the first application of Minard's Liniment I was able to lay out straight and
sleep. Three bottles of the Liniment have loosened the cords so that now I
am able to go to work, and the rheumatism has not bothered me any, only
on damp days, in the mornings, but will soon work that off. I am a long
shoreman, loading and unloading foreign ships, and I have recommended
Minard's Liniment to several of my workmen, that have the same trouble
with stiff joints. The other liniments I used did not seem to take the stiff,
ness out of the cords." (Signed) C. Howland, Charlestown, Mass.
