STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Feb. S.
'Special.) 'More"-pay bills for county
officers passed each nouse today, affect
ing Lake. Gilliam, Multnomah and
Clatsop Counties. In the Senate Sell
ing tried to tack his pet amendment on
to the Clatsop bills, so as to make the
Increases effective only after a refer
endum'vote of the county. This was
' voted down by the salary combination
that put the several pay bills through
the Senate yesterday.
Johnson of Benton, In the Senate, an
nounced that he Is working on a bill
with the Attorney-General to enable
the people of each county to call a
referendum election on salary bills
that pass the Legislature. F. J. Mil
ler, of Linn, announced that the con
stitution already gives the counties
that privilege.
Portland Constable Raised.
In the House the salary of the
Lake County Assessar was raised from
11000 to $1200. to take effect for the
new term: the Portland Constable was
raised from 11500 to $2000, and his
successor's term was extended two
years: the School Superintendent of
Gilliam was raised to $1000, the As
sessor to 1500. and the Treasurer to
J600. These bills have yet to pass the
Senate.
In the Senate the School Superin
tendent was raised to 1800 and the pay
of the Treasurer was Increased from
i:00 to $1500, while the Assessor was
authorized to select his deputy. These
bills have yet to. pass the House.
The Senate this morning adopted the
resolution of Senator M. A. Miller, ex
pressing the opinion of the Senate that
all salary bills should go Into effect
at the end of the terms of the present
Incumbents. When the "more" salary
bills came up for passage this after
noon, their foes taunted the Senate
with references to the resolution, but
without affecting the vote.
Selling and Wood Squabble. .
A sharp tilt occurred in the Senate
between Senators Selling and "Wood
when the latter sought to cut off dis
cussion or amendment of a salary bill
by moving the previous question. Af
ter one of the salary bills had been
read. Selling arose to make his usual
motion for amendment- Senator "Wood
moved the previous question. Senator
Hart, who was in the chair, promptly
put the motion, a quick vote was taken
'and Hart was declaring the motion
carried when belling vociferously de
manded the ayes and noes.
' I don't propose to be set upon In
that manner," exclaimed Selling. "I
.am a member of this Senate and have
a right to make my views known upon
every measure. The Senator from
Washington may think it Is clever to
try to prevent discussion, but I want
him to understand that I know my
rights and that I Intend to assert them
until the last hour of the last day of
the session. We are making history
here In the passage of salary bills in
the form In which these are presented,
and I have no hesitancy In saying that
the time will come when the gentle
men who are putting these bills
through will regret It. This Is a seri
ous matter. I want to be heard upon
it. and when any one tries to cut me
off I resent it."
The motion for the previous question
was voted down on rollcall. the Selling
amendment was offered and voted
down, and the bill McCue's bill rals
lng the salary of the Treasurer of
Clatsop County was passed.
Abraham Score Point.
The first salary-raising bill to be
amended so as to apply only at the end
of the present term was so changed
todav on motion of Senator Abraham,
r houe-las County. The bill was
House bill T. by Buchanan and Apple
gate (by request). When this bill was
read the third time and the Senators
observed that it proposed an increase
in the salary of the Assessor of Doug
las County. the Senators smiled l'i
pleasant anticipation of the embarrass
ment Abraham would feel in view of
his well-known opposition to bills of
this sort. But the Senate had another
guess coming. Without any show of
discomfort. Abraham arose and moved
that the bill be re-referred with in
structions to add a section providing
that the new salaries shall not take
effect until the end of the present term
of office. Abraham explained that this
is not only his wish, but the wish of
the Representatives from Douglas
County and the wish of the Assessor
who would be affected by the meas
ure. A'he amendment was o.derea. an
Senators except Beach voting for it.
DEATH OF BILL- IS AVERTED
G. A. K. Soldiers Home Measure
rets Another Chance .
STATK CAPITOU Salem. Feb. 3.
(Special.) Kxerrising his richt of per
sonal privilege. Representative Camp
bell, of Clackamas, this morning se
verely rebuked the members of the
House for tiietr action in defeating his
bill providinB for the transfer of the
control of the Oregon Soldiers' Home
from the Governor to a board of con
trol, consisting of three members of t lie
Grano Army. The vote on the bill was
SO to 2S. four absent, but when Camp
hell had finished his pointed remarks
Representative Altman was successful
In a molio" for a reconsideration of
the vol". The bill was then made a
"special order for 2 o'clock next Tues
day afternoon.
"I desire to tlmnk the members of
th House who gave their" support to
thf.w bill." said Campbell, when the re
sult! of the vote by which the bill was
defented had been announced, "and to
the oth.r members of this House I
shall take pleasure in placing the re
sponsibility for its defeat. Further
more. I want at tills time to exercise
my personal privilege.
Campbell Pleads for Veterans.
"I understand." continued Campbell
warmly, "that there Is a -frame-up'
among the members of tills House to
ounlsh Campbell lv defeating every
one of mv bills. New. o far as this
bill you have just defeated is con
cerned. I wish to say that it was not
my own personal bill. It was present-
ed by mo at the request of the mem
bers of the Grand Army, and I desire
to sav very plainly that In killing this
nill von have not inflicted any punish
ment on me. but you have punished the
members of tiie G. A. R-. who fought
for four years that the Stars and
Stripes might hang from the walls of
liii-i room and that this state might
ful't"
Farrell was the first to respond to
Campbell's excoriation and explained
thnt, while he had voted against the
hili, there was no organized effort so
far' a he knew to defeat the bills of
Campbell or any other member of the
House. Davis and other members of the
House responded in similar vein, and
the motion to reconsider and make the
hill a special order prevailed without
any opposition.

NESMITH COUNTY EXPIRES

Bill Introduced by Mahone.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Feb. 3.
(Special) Representative Brady's bill,
appropriating J10.000 for relief of the
Italian earthquake sufferers, 'went the
Indefinite-postponement route in the
House this morning. It had been re
ported unfavorably by the committee on
ways and means. Brady sought to have
the appropriation voted by the House
anyway, but it was the sense of Abbott,
chairman of the ways and means com
mittee, and Dlmlck, of Clackamas, that
since the Government had appropriated
$800,000 for the same purpose. It was
hardly to be expected that the various
states should make individual contribu
tions to the same fund.
With only seven voting in its favor, the
bill of Representative Campbell, of
Clackamas, repealing the limit of Ave
days which must expire following the ex
ecution of a deed or other instrument be
fore It can be recorded, was defeated in
the House. Bean, Buchanan, Brooke,
Rusk and Brattaln opposed the hill and
Insisted that the present law on the sub
ject was good enough. Brooke said the
present law had been on the statute
books In unamended form since 1862, and
be ventured the conclusion that If there
was anything very seriously wrong about
it, that defect would have been discov
ered before. The seven voting, for the
bill were: Calkins, Campbell. Couch.
Dimick, Jones (Clackamas), Purdin and
Smith.

a f-w Wnrr? to the Artist's Testimonial Racket. Is it
a Case of the Pot Denouncing the Blackness of the Kettle?
Ever since Paderewski gave up play
ing a certain make of piano for another
make, which he unquestionably found
more satisfactory, a great deal of bpace
has been taker, up "ii"sB8ieiVrng
ments upon the subject of BUJ,S',,"
(bribing?) artists. Are these dealers
and certain manufacturers on the de
fensive? If not. why all thisjio.se? i
It has been generally understood and
admitted that for many rye"Lidld
dealers were assisted or subsldizea
generoiislT by one firm in particular of
Soehow this firm managed to se
cure a great many of the noteworthy
musical artists for the playing .of their
pianos. No doubt they found this a
very effective method of advertising.
VCBut of late, other makers have found
themselves in position to effectively
compete'for this class of "ttaing.
The result is that what one firm nas
been doing very generally and gener
ously for musicians and artists for
many years, numerous other piano
makers nave found themselves in pcsi
Uon to do of late. That this adver
tising may. under certain condition.,

HOW MICII W CHICAGOr
It Is a slgnifieant fact that every
grand opera company that has ever ap
peared In Chicago has enthusiastically
nrals-d and indorsed and used the Kim
Ea."l piano. The great Kimball Com
pany, the wealthiest and largest firm
of nianomakers in the world! publish
on page 8 of their catalogue a mag
nificent photograph and also a testi
monial over this same Madame Gadskl s
signature, to the effect that "the beau
titul Kimball ranks with the best in
xiruments before the world."
Now. if a little firm just emerging
from the throes of bankruptcy pays a
tor'.une for an artist's testimonial, how
much of a fortune does the multi
millionaire house of Kimball pay for a
testimonial'
DID "WEBER S- PAY, TOOT
Acain New York's magnificent art
product, the Weber, has been Known
frtr nianv vears as the piano of the
MetronoHtah Grand Opera. One of
the most enthusiastic indorsements
of the Weber Grand appears on
page 23 of the Weber Piano catalogue
over the signature of the same Gadski.
Most superlative language is employed,
nnd justly so. in praising "the exquis
ite Weber tone, - denning us comonm
tlon of great power with beautiful tone
quality." etc., etc.
The Weber Piano Company Is one of
the constituent companies of the great
A.eollan Company. Is it to be said that
the great Gadski secured another for
tune for this spontaneous and unques
tionably deserved tribute to the Weber?
If so, how much would be expected
from a $10,000,000 concern like the
Aeolian Company?
DID THE PIATTOIiA CONTRIBUTE,
TOOt
It must be remembered that the
great Aeolian Company, In addition to
the magnificent Weber testimonial,
have also been favored with several
superb testimonials for the Pianola,,
the most recent one upon the occasion
when, to the accompaniment of a
Pianola attached to . a Weber Concert
Grand, she had delighted one of the
most fashionable audiences that was
ever gathered together in little old
New York.
IS THE SHOE OS THE OTHER FOOT!
But supposing another view Is taken
of the situation. In view of the splen
did testimonials given by Gadski to
other high-grade pianomakers. does not
the suspicion lurk dangerously near
that the employment of the Steinway
piano bv Gadski upon her present con
cert tour. was. after all, a matter of
pecuniary consideration? Isn't it alto
gether likelv that the other Indorse
ments were given to the Weber, the
Kimball, the Pianola, etc.. gratuitously
as a well-deserved tribute to quality
that delighted the artist?
There are some very interesting
documents in the files of the Eilers
Piano HoUko that seem to fully bear
out this point. Judging from these
documents, it seems doubtful that the
manufacturers or representatives of the
Stelnwav Piano can come forth and un
controvertibly deny that the use of
their piano upon the present Gadski
tour was for substantial consideration.
Paderewski is said to have received
a wonderful amount -of money for play
ing the magnificent Weber Piano. It
has never been stated, however, that
tliis "money" was merely in the shape
cf a guarantee This guarantee was
more than made good by the prodigous
receipts from Paderewski's truly won
derful concert tour. Sometimes, there

terializes as a source, of profit, al
