(Continued From First Pag-a.) forts made In good faith within that time to secure employment. There are many persons who are idle and who wander about the streets and as many more who lodge In barns, etc., and cannot sleep in lodging-houses because they cannot find employment. What is to become of this class of men, many of whom are honest and many of whom would be glad to work and earn their support? "It may be conceded that there are many who are vagrants In fact, and who ought to be punished, but it Is better that they go unwhlpped of Justice than that men who honestly seek to earn a livelihood should be compelled to suffer punishment by Imprisonment. When the state, the county or the municipajlty is prepared to furnish this class of men with work. It seems to me It will be time enough to punish them if they do not accept employment." Nottingham's Bill Duplicates. Senator Nottingham's Senate bill . 209, fixing the time for registration of voters prior to the November election was vetoed because the subject Is already covered by law. The amendment chang ing the time of general election provides that all laws pertaining to nomination of candidates, registration of voters, . etc, shall be effected the same number of days before the November election that may have been heretofore prior to the June election. Mulit's Senate bill 93, exempting public bonds from taxation, was vetoed. The Governor expresses doubt whether ex emption from taxation would enable a city to get a lower rate of Interest. "In any event," says the Governor, "It Is better that the municipal corporation issuing bonds pay a little higher rate of interest than these bonds be exempt ed from taxation and the whole of the state be compelled to bear the burden. It Is very probable that a very small percentage of these bonds ever go on the assessment rolls, anyway, and so prac tically escape taxation now." The four salary bills vetoed are: House bill 326, increasing the salary of the School Superintendent of Columbia Coun ty; House bill 109, increasing the salary of Assessor of Coos County; Senate bill 123, Increasing the salary of the Treas urer of Harney County; Senate bill 124, Increasing the salary of the School Super intendent of Harney County.

Senate bill No. 69. providing that all makers of abstracts must give bonds, received the unanimous disapproval of the Multnomah Bar Association at Its annual meeting last night. Arthur Langguth. secretary of the association, was Instructed to telegraph the associa tion's action to Governor Chamberlain this morning, in the hope that the Gov ernor will veto the measure, it having passed both the House and the Senate, The bill provides that all abstractors must give a bond of $30,000 to the state upon going into business and must de posit 10 per cent of their earnings each year thereafter until the amount of the bond is $100,000.

CURED WITHOUT A MARK BY CUTICURA "About a year and eight months ago my baby, aged ten months, was sitting on the mat beside the fender and we were preparing the breakfast when the frying pan full of boiling grease was upset and it went all over one side of the baby's face and head. One of the family ran and wined the scald with a towel and you may think what a mess she made, pulling the entire skin off. We took her to a chemist who told us to get a doctor, which w did. He tended her a week and gave me some stuff like lard to put on. But it all festered and I thought the baby was disfigured for life. A woman close beside me told me to try Cuticura Ointment. I used about three boxes and it was wonderful howit healed. In about five weeks it was better and there wasn't a mark to tell where the scald had been. People used to ask me if that was the babv that was scalded and they would hardly believe me when I told them she was and what cured her face. Her skin is just like velvet and I have never been without Cuticura since. Cuticura cured three other children of ringworm besides, so I have good cause to thank it for what it has dona.
