THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY. JUNE 25. 1909.
Senate Displays Bitterness in
Debate on Hutchinson's
Resolution.
WANTS NEW COMMITTEE
, Spokane Solon Would Have Inquis
itors Report to Legislature at
Special Session in November.
Way Open for Trouble.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. June 24. (Staff Cor
respondence.) Beginning- with bitterness
and threatening further to rend the two
factions In the Senate, what promise to
be the principal fight of the Senate ses
sion started today when Hutchinson, of
Spokane, Introduced a resolution pro
viding for three committees, among
which It is proposed to divide the work
of Investigating the several state offices,
departments and institutions.
This resolution Is directly opposed to
t the wishes of Governor Hay, who de
t sires the continuation in authority of the
I present investigating committee, and the
1 resolution apparently further aimed at
me boiernor In requiring the three com
mittees to report to an adjourned meet
ing of the special Legislature November
15 next, and not to the Governor.
Fireworks Begin Early.
The Introduction of Hutchinson's reso
lution had been preceded by one by
Nichols, of King, continuing the present
committee, and Hutchinson's resolution
was denounced by Nichols as being in
spired by ulterior motives. Falconer of
Snohomish, Cox of Walla Walla, Cot
teiill of King, Rosenhaupt of Spokane
and Paulhamus of Pierce condemned it.
The introduction of the resolution was
declared to be a move to sidetrack, scat
ter and defeat the whole Investigation
and to be an effort to whitewash guilty
officials and turn down an honest and
effective committee.
The condemnation of his resolution so
aroused the ire of Hutchinson that he
declared that any man -who impugned
his motives was a "cur." Hutchinson at
tacked the work of the present commit
tee, which he accuses of not having
given his charges proper attention con
cerning the Board of Conrol and its ac
ceptance of a badly constructed building
at Medical Lake. He insisted that he
was in favor of Investigation, but by a
"committee which investigates."
Way for Trouble . Opened.
Presby of Klickitat supported the reso
lution asserting that he did not want an
Investigation extending over one or two
years, and that this plan would expedite
the work.
The Senate finally made both the
Nichols and Hutchinson resolutions spe
cial orders for tomorrow morning.
The Senate partly opened the way for
more trouble by adopting a resolution,
which, if concurred in by the House, will
throw down the' bars to the repeal or
modification of the heavy appropriations
of the last session. Thla feature of the
resolution was adopted as a compromise
after the original resolution by Nichols
restricting legislation to matters pertain
ing to Investigation had been declared lost
by President Ruth on a vote of 21 ayes
and 19 noes. Ruth held that the orig
inal resolution had not passed because
it did not receive the constitutional ma
jority of two-thirds. The Ruth faction
voted against the resolution.
Take l'p Resolutions Today.
The ruling was questioned by Cotterill
nd Nichols, and Ruth finally reserved a
definite decision until he could have an
opportunity to compare It with rulings
In the regular session. During the In
terim the amendment permitting consid
eration of repeals of appropriations was
evolved by Presby. and after It had been
added the resolution carried. 31 to 9
Notwithstanding having gone on record
as to what legislation shall be conslde
ered, the Senate has made the House
concurrent resolution limiting the work to
Investigation matters a special order for
tomorrow morning.-

land contracts with the state; that It is
wrongfully diverting the water taken
from the Deschutes for the reclamation
of one segregation for fhe temporary rec
lamation of lands listed under another
contract so it can place the land on the
market; that the company, is heavily
burdened with financial difficulties and
has mortgaged the settlers' rights to

Insure the settler a perpetual water Tight
under tho circumstances which now exist
and are In prospect; and charging the

the session to "consideration of continuing
the investigating committee, legislation
and proceedings relating to the report of
the committee, and to appropriations for
the expenses of the Legislature, the Cos
grove , funeral and printing the House
Journals."
This resolution also brought out a
lengthy and at times acrimonious debate.
Some of the Pierce and King County
members tried to tack on an amendment
which would permit the consideration of
a bill relating to waterways and viaducts
across tldeflats, desired by both coun
ties, and which is essential to the suc
cess of the Duwamlsh waterway project
In King County.
This amendment failed and other mem
bers opposed the resolution on the ground
that some of the measures of the reg
ular session should be repealed.
Beach Hits at Bryan.
Ghent, of King, declared that the reg
ular session had adopted several "insuf
ferably rotten bills," and that the best
thing for the interests of the state was
for this Legislature to rid it of them.
On the final vote the resolution passed
78 to 11. '
Without the concurrence of the Senate
this resolution Is effective even in the
House, and the Senate has not yet
adopted it.
Beach, of Mason, Introduced a bill mak
ing the State Treasurer custodian of all
funds, including crop returns and Gov
ernment allowances, received by the State
College at Pullman. These funds are now
kept irt hand by the college treasurer,
and such procedure was the basis for
charges filed before the investigating
committee by Beach.
Beach, In the face of opposition made
on the ground that the bill was extra
neous to the Investigation, succeeded in
advancing It to third reading, where it
will rest until tomorrow. In fighting to
save his bill. Beach accused the commit
tee of having violated the directions of
the Legislature in holding hearings at
places other than Olympia, and declared
that the Governor had dictated the policy
of the committee.
HAY BRINGS IN ALL PRESSURE
Still Lacks Two Votes to Pass Pal
mer Bill in Senate.
OLYMPIA. Wash., June 24 (Staff
Cotrespondence.) All the influence at
the command of Governor Hay Is being
exerted to bring about the passage in
the Senate tomorrow of the Palmer
House bill abolishing the office of In
surance Commissioner.
At a late hour tonight the Governor's
forces lacked two of the necessary con
stitutional majority to pass the bill, and
if the measure falls tomorrow the
length of the session will be prolonged
indefinitely.
Tonight a conference was held in the
Governor's office and a pledge was
started for the signatures of members
who would stand for the bill. At Its
close the supporters of the measure who
could be counted as sure numbered
only 17. Six others were placed on the
doubtful list. They were Stewart, of
Cowlitz; Hutchinson and Rosenhaupt,
of Spokane; Smithson, of Kittitas;
Kline, of Whatcom, and Cameron, of
Yakima.
The programme planned was that if
four of these could be secured by morn
ing, giving the Governor's friends a
majority of the members present in the
Senate, or 21 in all, an adjournment
would be forced until Monday, when
Metcalf, of Pierce, will arrive from the
East, where he has been on a business
trip. Metoalf is counted for the bill
and would give It the necessary con
stitutional majority.
The Senate can adjourn by the votes
of a majority of those present, but can
not adopt legislation without an affirm
ative vote of a majority of the entire
membership. Tonight Falconer, of Sno
homish, and other supporters of the
bill are even talking final adjournment
tomorrow after the Senate is on rec
ord, if the bill has failed to pass. It is
their " assertion that the Senate will
never vote to impeach Slvely, and
that prolonging of the session for an
Impeachment trial Is a waste of time
and money.
Adjournment sine die, however, is not
generally expected to carry, and if the
bill falls the most likely course, it is
predicted will be for the House to Inaugu
rate impeachment proceedings. A move
ment, too, has been started in the House
to recall the Palmer bill and defeat it
there. .
With no concurrent resolution limiting
legislation yet adopted by both Houses,
there is still prospect of miscellaneous
matters being taken up. The Sanate.
by showing a disposition to permit the
repeal of appropriation bills passed by
the regular session, has given the Gov
ernor's enemies an opportunity to attempt
what they look upon as a slap at him
In proposing the repeal of the Wenatchee
bridge law. This bill appropriated $192,000
for the purpose of a bridge across the
Columbia River at Wenatchee. and was
one of the few appropriation bills signed
by the Governor, the others becoming
laws without his signature. To the sur
prise of the Governor's opponents;' the
Executive's friends seem to be falling in
with the idea, and it Is possible the bill
may go by the board.
Repeal of the Southwest Washington
Fair bill, appropriating $15,000. and the
act appropriating. $25,000 for a State His
torical building in Tacoma. are also
threatened, and the acts appropriating
$50,000 for the Stuck River improvement
and $50,000 for the improvement of the
Upper Columbia are also mentioned.
The Direct Primary League has a lobby
here demanding the restoration to the
scope of the primary law of the nomina
tion of Supreme Court judges. Christo
pher W. Horr, president, has sent a
communication to the Legislature de
claring this restoration Is of more im
portance than the investigation.
The Duwamlsh River improvement
bill has been presented In the House,
but has not been given a file number.
Members are waiting to spring dozens of
other bills if the least opportunity offers,
but if the Palmer bill manages to weather
the storm In the Senate, adjournment is
possible by Saturday, and nothing be
side matters relating to the Investigation
and legislative expenses will apparently
have a chance.
