GIVEN GOVERNOR
House Passes Bill for More
Supreme Justices, With
Emergency Clause.
KING AND SLATER SLATED
Present Supreme Court Commis
sioners Will Be Elevated by
Chamberlain to Two Places
Created by X'evr Measure.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Feb. 11.
(Special.) Waving aside all question of
constitutionality and Insisting that the
emergency clause should be retained, the
House this morning passed Senator
Hart's bill, providing for two additional
justices of the Oregon Supreme Court to
replace the two Commissioners who have
been serving in that capacity for the
last two years.
The two additional Justices are to re
ceive an annual salary of HoOO and are
to be appointed by Governor Chamberlain
to aerve until November, 1S10. when their
successors will be elected. 'With the ap
pointing power vested In the Governor,
the seven Democrats In the House voted
aolldly for the bill.
W. R. King and W. T. Slater, the pres-
nt Supreme Court Commissioners, will
be given the places.
The, debate which preceded the vote
was brief. Spmker HcArthur. Brady.
Orton and McKlnney contended that
there was urgent need for an Increased
court, while Rusk demanded that the
emergency clause should be removed and
the people given the right to say whether
or not they wanted two additional Judges.
Jones (Lincoln and Polk) sought to have
the bill rereferred with instructions to
eliminate the emergency clause but this
was voted down. In voting against the
bill Calkins said he did so for the rea
son that he believed - the measure was
unconstitutional.
The vote on the bill was:
Aye. Altman. Applcgate. Barrett.

Local Option Bills Shelved.
There Is little probability that this
Legislature will pass any of the various
bills that have appeared proposing amend
ments to the. local option law. In the
House there is an especially strong senti
ment against meddling with this law.
Members are being besieged with peti
tions in almost every mail requesting
them to keep their hands off of the situa
tion and let the law remain undisturbed.
Motormen's Seats BUI Passes.
Senator Coffey's bill, requiring lnterur
ban and street railway companies to pro
vide seats for motormen while on duty,
passed the House this morning with only
two votes against It. those of Farrell and
Philpott. In explaining his vote, Farrell
said he feared that the Installation of the
proposed seats would have a tendency
to increase tho liability of accident.
Senator Kellaher's bill permitting the
prevailing party In suits to recover
costs when it is necessary to attach real
property In order to get Jurisdiction,
passed tha House today. This bill was
opposed by several of the lawyers In the
House and had only 15 votes In Its favor.
It failed to pass the House this morning
and was reconsidered this afternoon.
Floor Rule Enforced.
The House is adhering strictly to the
terms of the resolution, adopted earlier
in the session and restricting the cour
tesies of the floor to former members of
the Legislature, state officials or former
stats officials. Farrell of Multnomah
this moiyiing undertook to catch the
House asleep, and during the temporary
absence of Speaker McArthur from the
chair, moved that the usual courtesies be
extended to Alex Bernstein, of Portland.
Acting Speaker Beau was about to state
the question when McArthur inquired
from the floor:
"Is Mr. Bernstein a former member of
the Legislature or a former state offi
cial V
"He Is a state official." replied Farrell.
"He Is a notary public."
As a result the courtesies were dnled.
but only a few moments had elasped
when McArthur was observed by some of
the members seated within the bar. talk
ing to J. H. Brown, of Portland. Orton
quietly suggested to the chair that the
sergeant-at-arms be Instructed to exclude
from the floor all persons not entitled to
Its privileges. McArthur and Brown took
the hint and retired Into the lobby.
Provision for the removal of the State
Deaf Mute School from Its present lo
cation near Salem to some point nearer
the State Capitol was made today In a
Mil presented In the House from the Joint
committee on ways and means. The bill
provides an appropriation of $75,000 for
the, purchase of a site and the con
struction of a suitable building. It is
proposed to transfer the property and
buildings now occupied by this institution
to the Insane Asylum.
To Recover Tide Lands.
Recovery to the state of about lO.noo
seres of tide and marsh-lands In Lincoln
County Is undertaken to be gained In
a Nil which has twen Introduced in the
House by Representative Jones (Lincoln
and Polk). It asks that the art of the
Oregon Legislature of 174, subsequently
amended, granting these lands to the
Willamette Coast Railroad Company, on
condition that It construct a railroad
from the Willamette Valley to the Coast
within five years, be repealed. It Is
charged by Mr. Jones that although the
terms of the grant were extended twice
until IS years elapsed, the railroad com
pany failed to construct the road as
agreed. He says furthermore that the
land has never passed Into the hands of
Innocent purchasers but Is now owned
practically In Its entirety by William M.
Hogg, of San Francisco. According to
Mr. Jones, the owners of the land have
never paid any state taxes on their hold
ings. Money for Fish Hatchery.
The House today passed Senator Kella
her's bill prohibiting the employment of
boys under 18 years of age in the oper
ation of elevators.
Through the efforts of McCue. who
urged the importance of the bill to the
fishing Industry .of the state, the House
today suspended the rules and without
opposition passed 9. B. 74, by Chase,
appropriating $20,000 for hatcheries on
Coast streams south of the Columbia.
This was the first bill carrying an ap
propriation that has not been referred by
the House to the committee on ways and
means since the session opened.

STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or.. Feb.

PUSS OVER VETO
In Two Cases Senate "Sustains
Governor's Negative on
Salary Increases.
CONTEST OVER HART BILL
Measure to Increase Pay of Judge
of Eighth Judicial District
Passes Both Houses Sheriff
Per Diem Bill Passes.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Feb. 10. (Spe
cial.) The Senate today disposed of six
vetoed salary mills, sustaining the Gov
ernor's veto upon two of them and pass
ing the four others over the veto.
Those passed over the veto were Hart's
Senate bill 22, requiring Baker County to
pay $1009 In addition to the state salary
of tha Circuit Judge in Baker County;
House bill 24, Purdin's bill Increasing the
salary of the County Judge of Jackson
from $1200 to $1S00; House bill 49, McCue.
Increasing the salary of the School Super
intendent of Clatsop County from $600 to
$900 a year, and House bill 119, Lelnen
weber. permitting the Clatsop Assessors
to appoint deputies.
The bills defeated were Senate bill 19,
Chase, to Increase the salary of the Clerk
of Coos -County from $10u0 to $1200; and
House bill 50. McCue. to ralee the salary
of the Treasurer of Clatsop County from
$300 to $1200.
Coos Bill Almost Wilis.
Chased bill for the Increase of the
salary of the Clerk of Coos County was
declared passed, but the vigilance of some
of the Senators who were opposed to the
bill detected an error In the count and
a correction was called for. The vote
was 18 to 10 but the reading clerk an
nounced It 19 to 9 and President Bower
man declared the bill passed over the
veto. A number of persons in the room
had kept the record, however, and on
calling over the list again It was found
that the vote was 18 to 10, and a two
thirds vote being necessary, the bill
failed. Those who defeated this and
other salary bills were Abraham, Albee,
Caldwell, Kay, Kellaher, Miller of Linn.
Xorton, Selling, Sinnot and Smith of
Umatilla.
Hart Bill Causes Fight.
There was quite a fight over Hart's
Circuit Judge salary bill, Senator Abra
ham asserting that the County Court of
Baker County had protested against the
passage of the bill, while Senator Hart
declared that the court's protest was
only against the Increase of county sal
aries. Hart read letters from C H. Mc
culloch, F. L. Baer, and others. In favor
of the Increase. The vote on his bill
was 22 to 6. with two absent.
Purdin's bill increasing the salary of
the County Judge of Jackson County was
passed only by re-consideration, the bill
having been defeated yesterday after
noon. Senator Oliver moved reconsidera
tion. The second action upon this bill was
the occasion for some sarcastic remarks
from Senator Abraham, the leader of the
anti-salary forces in the Senate. It was
apparent as soon as Oliver made his
motion that Senator Mulit, who looked
after the bill in the Senate, had secured
votes, enough to pass the bill over the
veto.
Abraham Waxes Sarcastic.
"I think you should pass this bill." ex
claimed Senator Abraham, shaking his
finger at the Senators who were con
ferring over the matter. "Senator Mull
has stood in with you on all your salary
raieing bills and you owe it to him to"
Rap! Rap! Rap! went President Bower
man's gavel with resounding whacks
upon the table. "The Senator Is out of
order," declared Bowerman. "If you
Wish to discuss the merits of the bill,
you may, but you must not be personal."
The vote by which the bill was passed
was:
Aye Bailey, Barrett, Beach. Bingham,
Caldwell. Chase, Coffey, Cole, Hart,
Hedges, Johnson. Miller of Linn and
Lane. Mulit. Nottingham, Oliver. Parrish,
Schollield, Smith of Marion, Wood, Presi

Leinenweber's Clatsop Assessors' bill
failed to pass over the veto this morn
Inr but was reconsidered this afternoon
and put through with 20 ayo votes.
House Passes Hart Bill.
The House this afternoon passed over
the Governor's veto Senator Hart's bill,
increasing from $3000 to $4000 the salary
of the Circuit Judge of the Eighth Judi
cial District.
In the future Sheriffs will receive a per
diem of $-1 and their actual necessary
traveling expenses for conveying prisoners
to the State Penitentiary. The additional
compensation of 10 cents mileage, which
has been enjoyed by these officers. Is
cut off In Senator Kay's bill, which
passed the House today.
Just before the noon adjournment this
bill was defeated with only 23 votes in
its favor. When the House reconvened
in the afternoon. Llbby secured a recon
sideration, explaining that many of the
members of the House In the morning
had voted against the bill under a misap
prehension. In support of the bill. Cor
rigan, an ex-Sheriff of Yamhill County,
quoted figures showing that the Kay bill
exacted would save the taxpayers of the
state fully $7fl"0 per annum.
Only five members of the House op
posed passage, of the bill, as follows:
Bedillion, Bryant, Calkins, Mahoney and
Muney.
Present Officers Po Not Benefit.
Slight Increases In tho salaries of Ben
ton County officers are provided In a bill
introduced In the House this afternoon
by Representative Bonebrake. Instead of
carrying an emergency clause, however,
the bill contains the provision that the
advanced salaries shall not go into effect
during the term of the Incumbents. Fur
thermore it Is provided that on petition
of 10 per cent of the voters of that
eountr. If the same shall be filed within
ten days following the adjournment of
the Legislature, tne question of whether
or not the proposed Increased salaries
shall go Into effect shall be passed on by
the people at the next general election.
The bill provides for increased salaries
as follows: County Judge, from $720 to

GATEXS BELIEVES IN WORK
Prospect of His Incoming, There
fore, Appals Some People.
SALEM, Or.. Feb. 11. (Special.)
A loud, long wall is going up because
of the forthcoming appointment of W.
N, Gatens to the Circuit bench In Mult
nomah County. The wail comes from
those who dislike to see the prevailing
order of things disturbed. Lawyers
who delight to pursue the even tenor
of their way see trouble ahead.
Judge Gatens. as he will be In a
few days, has not announced any pol
icies as. yet, but prior to tho mention
of his name in connection with the
appointment to this office, he has been
heard to say that a court should ob
serve the hours of other offices, and
it is quite certain that if he has any
say in the matter, he will open court
by 9 o'clock in the morning and per
haps earlier. And he will probably
run court until 5 In the afternoon, or
later! If necessary to finish a day's
work. One hour at noon will probably
be allowed the attorneys and Jurors
to get their lunch.
The prospect Is not pleasing to those
who prefer easy-going methods and It
is feared that in some other respects
Gatens will inaugurate other policies
new and untried In Multnomah County.
Hence the wail that is being heard.
The House bill providing for an ad
ditional Judge in Multnomah County
went to the Governor today but has not
yet been approved by him. It is quite
certain that he will permit it to become
a law, however, unless there should be
a strong protest against it.

DEAL'S BILL LOSES
Proposal to Cruise Timber
Lands Defeated, 19 to 10.
BARRETT IN FAVOR OF IT
Only Member to Defend Measure In
troduced by Tillamook County's
Representative Opposition
From Many Counties.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Feb. 11.
(Special.) Representative Beat's tim
ber cruising bill went down to defeat
in the. Senate this forenoon by a vote
of 19 to 10 on a motion by Bingham
Indefinitely to postpone. Senator Bar
rett, of Washington, was the only
Senator to raise his voice in defense
of the bill. When Senator Bingham
moved indefinite postponement after
an adverse report from the committee
on assessment and taxation, he read a
large number of letters from County
Assessors, all adverse to the bill. He
declared that this is one of the most
vicious measures that has been Intro
duced in either House at tills session
and asserted that, in his opinion, it was
inspired by ulterior motives. The let
ters he read were from the Assessors
of Columbia, Polk, Douglas, Marlon,
Josephine, Clatsop, Yamhill. I.inn and
Washington Counties. Bingham said
he does not own any timber land, and
therefore had no personal interest, but
that after investigation he was satis
fled the bill should receive no favor
able consideration.
Senator F. J. Miller, of Linn and
Lane, said that as soon as this bill was
printed he sent copies to all the County
Judges and Assessors and asked for
their opinions, and that with one ex
ception they had all replied adversely,
and most of them in strong terms.
He said that In a number of in
stances owners of small tracts of "tim
ber had told him that If this bill should
become a law It would cost them $200
to have their timber land cruised and
that they could not stand such an ex
pense. Senator Barrett said that Beals had
spent considerable time working out
the provisions of the measure: that he
believed it to be a Just one and that he
believed that large timber land owners
rather than the owners of small tracts,
were .ightlng the bill.
That Douglas County had spent
$5000 for the cruising of timber lands
and that the work was not worth the
paper the reports were written on, was
declared by Senator Abraham. He also
said that the $47,000 spent by Tilla
mook County for a similar purpose was
almost a total waste of funds.
Those voting ayevon the motion to
postpone Indefinitely were: Abraham,
Albee, Bailey, Bingham, Caldwell.
