Thre are also a number of Important
bills before both houses relating to In

Consideration of each of these sub

Most Important In many w.ra la the.
reapportionment of the state which the
constitution requires must be made at
this session. Any bill undertaking to
srrertloa the state's legislative repre
aentatlon wlU be fought- The Multno
mah County degatloa will contend for
an Increased representation based on Its
lea-ttlmate claim a backed up by poptila
tlon and the proportion of the state tag
this county la required to pay. An ef
fort will be made to secure for the
county the Increase In Its representation
In both houses to which It la entitled.
As In the past, any attempt on the part
of Multnomah to get Its deserts will be
eppoeod again this year by some sec
tion of the atata. Thua far not a ainale
bill proposing a reapportionment has
appeared In elCter bouse.
Huge Appropriations Asked.
Enlarged demands for Increased ap
propriations of atate funds for all atate
Institution boards and commissions,
coupled with charge of extravagance
and mlamanageroent at some of the In
stitutions, wtu bare the effect of caus
ing tba Joint ways and means commit
tee to proceed cautiously tn disbursing
state money. Not an Institution, pre
senting Its estimate for the ensuing bi
ennial period, baa failed to ask for more
fund. Increases are alao demanded for
vsrtoua of tha hoards and commissions
charged with tha transaction of state
business. Creation of additional boards
and commissions, each proposal carry
ing a substantial appropriation, await
tlie consideration of tha members of
the wave and me ana committees.
Beginning tonight, the Joint commit
tees will bold a meeting every night and
begin the preparation of tta general and
special appropriation bills besides pass
ing on the numerous Individual and mis
cellaneous measures asking for state aid.
Judicious and Incessant application of
the pruning knife necesesrlly will have
to be made by the committee If the
total of appropriations by this session
does not tr exceed that of any other
session tn tba history of the state. The
segregate of the appropriations by the
lv ecavton was &914.3U and It will re
quire everlasting vigilance on the part
of tha members of the Joint ways and
means committee if this total Is not
greatly exceeded at tha present session.

Eastern Oregon Lawmakers Contend
That People Anthorlzed Only
Selection of Land for Site.
Fight Grows Interesting.
6TATB GAPITOI Salem. On, Jan. t.
I (Special.) Holdins In their sleeves
what they believe to be the high card In
the Eastern Oregon Branch Asylum
controversy certain members of tha
Senate and tho Bouse who are still re
maining In the background, promise to
throw a bombshell Into tho Legislature
by presenting; an entirely new legal as
pect of the situation and demand that I
tna wnoie question oe reopened.
In the act passed by the people pro
viding for an Kastern Oregon Asylum
the duty of selecting a site la placed
upon the State Board, Including the
Governor, 8tate Treasurer and Secre
tary of State, the alto to be selected
within five miles of either Pendleton,
Baker or Union. The act expressly
reads that the board shall "locate
Bite."
With this in view when the question
of securing a new .site within a mile
or a few miles of the alte now located,
cornea up for consideration a fight will
be waged In both the House ana Sen
ate.
Only Selection Ordered.
The fact that the people passed an
act which provided solely for the "lo
cation of a site." and with no provi
sion for buying property not contigu
ous to the site selected. Is considered
wedge to be used In a demand that
the whole question be reopened. Pur
chase of additional sites will be cried
down by opponents to the present loca
tion as an assumption beyond the
meaning of the act. A bill will be in
troduced demanding that , the Eastern
Oregon Branch Asylum be located
somewhere east of the Cascade Moun
tains, the location to be determined
by a disinterested committee or board,
similar to the committee selected by
Governor West, to investigate the loca
tion at Pendleton.
Champions of the proponed new
measure believe that State Treasurer
Kay and Governor West are right in
their contention that there is no suit
able building location on the Oliver
Carpenter tract at Pendleton and they
declare that an attempt to force se
lection of this site with additional pur
chases will result In a fight on the
floor of both Houses that will cause
former sensations of the present session
to appear tame.
Court Fight Promised.
Senators and Representatives from
Baker and Union will undoubtedly be
foremost In their attack on any move
to purchase further land at Pendleton.
They have developed Into a consequen
tial force sufficiently large, at least.
to wage a battle royaL
With the legal aspect brought into
the foreground, the constituency of
Baker and Union will demand Injunc
tion proceedings If an effort is made
to go beyond the terms of the present
act and the controversy promises to be
carried before the Judiciary as well as
the legislative department.
With keen Interest the report of the
legislative committee and the commltte
named by West is being awaited here
ana on the findings of these commit
tees will hinge the answer to the ques
tion oi war or peace between the fac
tions. Should it be determined that
there Is a suitable building site for the
state tract at Pendleton, then work will
probably .go ahead. The opposition.
however, is satisfied that the statement
given out by Governor West and State
Treasurer. Kay as to the utter unfeasl
billty of that location for a bulldlnsr
site la correct and is quietly enlarging
Its force for the determined conflict
which now appears to be a certain feat
ure of the next week or two of the
session.

augurating a campaign of education
along the llnea of progressive taxation
and start a fund with which the dis

could be fought dollar for dollar, are on

with promotion of the welfare of three
resolutions now before the Legislature
for submission of the entire tax ques
tion once more to a vote of the people.
It is the hope of those suggeatlng

a number of prominent people who fa
vor such a move and are already laying
plans for its fulfillment, to further

the present amendment, providing for
taxation by counties and allowing

ple who were unfamiliar with pro

With this In view they have awak

sary to educate the people along the
lines of the proposed referendum meas

well as to provide Information which
will enlighten the people as to some

Up to the end of last week the total

Most Important of the appropriation
bills Introduced during the past week
are those calling for fciTB.OOO for the Uni
versity of Oregon. These were intro
duced in the House. In the Senate, Kel

for the Oregon Historical Society, to be

a report Is considered by Senator Haw
ley as an excellent indication that the
bill will ha carried without a dissent
ing vote.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or., Jan. 2S.
(Special.) Senator Turner Oliver or
Union, who recently introduced .a bill
asking for an appropriation for an East-
Normal School at Launuiaa. win
make a ficht for his bill. He ia insls
tent that a Normal should do esxao-
llshed in Eastern Oregon. In speaking
of his hill todav he said:
"In Introducing this bill I am prompted
only by the desire to fulfill a great puo
Ilc need and I have no desire to belittle
tha institution at Monmouth.
Controversy Not Pertinent,
"I am not at present concerned with
the controversy aa to whether there
oueht also to be a normal school In
Southern Oregon. Two years ago I voted
for all three of the normal schools which
we had at that time and believed then
that the state ahould sustain all three
In tho places where they were 'then lo
cated and alve them aufflclcnt appro
priations that they might raise the grade
of the institutions so that they would bo
in fact what they are in theory training
achoola for teachers; but ttie criticism
was made then that the school at Wes
ton was not centrally located in Eastern
Oregon, and that idea seemed to prevail
In tho last electlon.
"There was nowhere any expression of
op-K8ltion to the Eastern Oregon Mr
mil School because it was In Eastern
Oregon, but many expressions of oppo
sition because of what the critics called
Its unfortunate location, and In intro
ducing my bill to establish the Eastern
Orornn Normal eCoUege at LaGrande, I
am taklne at their word those Clitics
who opposed Weston, because it was not
located centrally in Eastern uregon.
"In Union County we nave tour aiga
schools, each giving the 12-year course
laid down by our State Board of Educa
tion, and In these four high schools there
are now over 500 students taking the
regular high school work.
High School Completed. :'
'XaGrande has) Just completed a splen
did high school building, at a coat of
176.000 to that school district, and now
has nearly three hundred high school
student. This building la thoroughly
nulnned. but there is a Shortage of
competent teachers all over Eastern Ore
gon, and many of the country sohools
are compelled to employ incompetent
teachers, because we have no training
school for teachers in that part of the
state.
It is a melancholy ract that at pres
ent a email portion or tne wuiamene
Valley has every institution of higher
education In the state. Within a radius
of E0 miles there are more than twenty
colleges, yet in all the rest of the state
there is not one college or institution
of higher education, except the local
hlerh schools. Becasss of the lack of
competent public school teachers in the
country, the well-to-do farmers are mov
ing into the towna In order to aena meir
children to sohool.
"We are asking: for this aooooi ne- ,
cause there Is a crying need of it in that
great section of the state, and not
merely because of the wrong done to
that great section heretofore."
KESOLUTIOXS ARE DELAYED
Committee Falls to Report and No
Action Is Taken.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 29.
(Special.) Although Senator Albee in
troduced on January 20 his resolution
expressing confidence in the Oregon sys
tem and Abraham introduced on January
2S his resolution calling upon the United
States Senators to be present when tne
question of the direct vote of the people
In electing United States Senators comes
up, the resolutions are sun in commit

It Is understood that Abraham will ap
pear before the committee to show proof
of the allegations contained In his reso
lution and that Albee has some moaui
cation which he desires for his resolu
tlon, but the nature of this change is
not known.
Should the delay in the resolutions

olutions in auestion will be returned
when the Senate is engaged in the bus

promised will delay Important legisla

one between the committees of the Sen
