PCBMO EXAMINE! ADVOCATED Senate' Pasews Selling's Bill After It Stormj Career. STATE CAPITOU Salem. Or Feb. 14. Special. After causing; aa many storms, perhaps, aa any bill to coma before the Senate, President Selling's bill to create the office of Public Ki amlner paaaed that body today by a handsome majority. The bill carrlea with It tha clause that the examiner shall serve as county aa well aa state examiner and this was one of the featurea found mainly ob jectionable by soma of the Senators. But little discussion marked pasaaga of tha bill today, but It has been a bone of contention for a large part of the session. Oregon to Greet Wisconsin. STATU CAPITOU Salena. Or.. Feb. 14. Special, r Hepreaentattvaa Cole. Derby and Smith were today appolntad by tepeaher Rusk aa the House members of the Jotr.i committee to reply to greet ings recenCr received by the) Oregon Legislature from the Legevlatlve assemb ly of Wisconsin. The Senate members of this committee are Albee and Abrarna. I am leaving for Washington tonight ha order that I may atop In MJasourl a fear days to visit my paranta. said Rcp-reaentatlve-elort Lafferty yesterday be fore his departure. "My term begins March 4 and I shall opan my office at the Capitol on that data. I ahall also retain mv office In Portland. Citizens of the atue calling on mo, or writing to me. either at Portland or Washing ton, will hara matters In which they are Interested promptly looked after. "My brother. Albert Ivifferty, for tn paat two years a clerk in the Portland l'ostofflce. haa resigned and will net my Portland secretary. Walter L. Fur bershaw. a young lawyer of Washing' ton. 1. C. who worked In my office 1 Portland last Summer, and who haa had much experience In departmental work, will art temporarily as my ash Ington secretary. I had offered to Carl 8. Krlty the position aa my permanent private secretary and hoped to hava him Join ma in Washington. Mr. Kelty declined the appointment as the sala: allowed by law to a private secretary la less than Mr. Kelty Is now earning In his newspaper work In Portland. View Are Insurgent. "My views place me with the Insur gents. Certain men and groups of men have hecn enjoying special privileges un der the law. They have been exploiting the reoplo and creating swollen fortune from the earnings of tha 'common herd.' To 'name a few of those groups of men ss they would demand In Missouri, I will mention the united States Steel Cor po ration, tha American Harvester Cora pany, the American Tobacco Company, the American Sugar Refinery, the West' ern Union Telegraph Company, the ex press companlss and the railroad com panics. "The tariff should be revised down wsrd with a vengeance and the rates r. railroad, telegraph, telephone and expres companies and other public sorvlce cor poraltons should bo fixed by a publl tribunal created by law and based on physical valuations. To prevent these reforms, those enjoying special privileges have been bending their energies for yeans. They have contributed to cam paign funds to help elect Presidents, Senators and Representatives in Con gress. They have heretofore been able to control legislation In their favor. That time Is about passed. I hope the next Congress will prove to tha country that It has passed. Corporations Should Serve. Public service corporations should have a reasonable return on their In vestments and everyono Is willing that they should have, but when they charge the public exorbitant rates, they should be regulated by law. This Is what the public wants and it Is whst the spe cliU Interests object to. This Is tha la- sue between the 'standpatters and the insurgents. When the tariff Is reduced, and rates of publlo service corporations are fixed by law, the high coat of llv ing will be at an end. Then every man who works will be able to support hi family and take a vacation once a year besides. Tha public service corporations should serve the public. "Homesteaders should be treated more liberally In this state. I shall also try to get a law passed requiting greatir liberality in the administration of the homestead law. "It la also my purpose to urge the De partment of Juatlce to a more speedy prosecution of the land grant suit now pending, to compel the Oregon A Cali fornia Railroad Company to aell Its re maining granted lands, amounting to more than 2.000.000 acres, to actual set tlers at I: .40 sn sere, aa required by the ant of Congress making the grant.

The special counsel as signed to this case Is the best to be had in the country, but Oregon is more In terested In tha outcome than any other state. Land Surveys Needed. "Millions of acres of publlo lands In this state remain unsurveyed. I shall try to get the money appropriated to complete these surveys. Development would be greatly facilitated inereby. "I shall also endeavor to get a law passed requiring that in the future ex pendlture of the Irrigation fund any state that haa contributed more than It has received shsll have a preference until reimbursed. This would give Ore gon some $8,000,000 additional Irrigation money within the next few years. "An act should be passed eliminating from the forest reserves all lands not timbered and making such lands subject to homestead entry. The act of 1906, providing that a settler could take a claim on agricultural land within a forest reserve, has proved a farce, be cause It was left discretionary with the forest officers to allow or disallow such applications, and they always see fit to disallow them on one pretext or an other. I shall try to get a law passed making It mandatory to allow such fil ings. "The permanent forest reserve ques tion ts a big one. I favor having the Federal Government retain title to the forest reserves, but the work of at tending to these lands should be turned over to local men, and the proceeds from the sale of ripe timber and grazing privileges should go Into the state treas ury. In other words, the forests that are to be permanent should be turned over in trust to the states. "One fourth of Oregon is now in the forest reserves. Shall this one-fourth of the state be managed permanently from Washington? Or shall the atata hava something to say about its own management? That la the question. ahall try to put tha trust Idea Into the form of law." BIG FUND SPELLS ASYLUM APPROVA L Appropriation Asked by Inves tigators Already Exceed ed by $100,295.

Findings' May Not Exonerate Dr, Stclner as Predicted Report Ready Thursday. STATE CAPITOU Salem. Or.. Feb. 1C (Special.) Behind the failure of the special committee of Houne members to submit its report on the affairs and management of the State Insane Asylum more promptly Is said to be sn inability on the part of the Ave members of the committee to agree on the nature of the report. The committee is agreed on the prln clpal features of the report, but the bitch exists as to the extent to which the body shsll go in making recommen dations. Becausa of tills delay on the part of the committee Intimations have arisen thnt the findings will not entirely ful nil the predictions as to the complete ness of the vindication of Superintendent Btelner that was prophesied. This committee was to have submitted its report last Friday, but the announce ment was made then that a report could not tie completed and filed before Mon day. Today Chairman Jones of tha com. mlttee said the committee would not be ready to report Its findings before to morrow, and possibly not until Thurs day. While none of the committee will dls- cuas the contents of the report being drafted, it Is known that at least two members of the committee. Beals and Buckley, are opposed to certain features of the report which Chairman Jones, Clemens and Colllnex the other three members, would embody In their findings. The committee held another late ses sion tonight, but at Its conclusion the members retained their reticence. Mrs. . A. HedgdWa are sitting. A. S. Hodgdoa, 0.1 of tfca eeaa, la at anting.

Already allowing the Ore gon Insane Asylum 100.95 more than the legislative committee investigating Institutions recommended to the Legls- I lature and with a possibility that J70, ( 875 more may be added to the institution bill before it goes to the Legislature, the Joint ways and means committee will in a measure vindicate Superintend ent 8telner In its report to the House, Of the sum decided to be reported for favorable recommendation, 170,785 Is for completion of one wing of the new re celvlng ward, this ward coming in for the major portion of the criticism which was directed at Dr. Stelner on the floor of the Senate. A plea was made by Dr. L, F. Gtif flth, of the asylum staff, tonight before the committee for the completion of both wings and there is an excellent chance of both of these being allowed. As it stands the appropriation for the asylum proper is JfiS2,452.94 and for the asylum farm $29,207.50. Of this IS70.- 000 is provided for maintenance; 170.875 for completion of one new wing and .10,000 for the furnishing of that wing. Fond for Water Granted. Among other Items of Importance for the asylum is Increasing the pure wator supply, for which an appropriation of 110,000 is made and an item of 19358.44 for laundry machinery. This machinery was Installed by the company without pay. trusting to the Legislature for re imbursement. At the asylum farm the main item of importance is the installation of an au tomatic sprinkling system which will cost 112,600. Appropriation for the Feeble-Mlnded School is far below the estimate made by the superintendent, but is above that as furnished by the legislative com mittee, the total being $123,250. which will be recommended to the Legislature by the Joint ways and means commit tee. This includes $90,000 for mainte nance, or a cut of $10,000 from the esti mate of the superintendent. One Big Cut Made. The superintendent also asked $117.- 600 for new buildings. This is cut to $29,000 by the ways and means commit tee. The onlr other item of importance as included in toe recommendations ts for fire equipment, this to amount to $1500, according to the report which will be submitted. The ways and mean's committee still has the Reform School, Deaf Mute School and Blind School requests to pass upon, but there will be practically no changes in the estimates as made by the heads of the departments as previously pub lished. It Is generally conceded that the re port as far as it affects the asylum is in the line of approbation of the work accomplished by Superintendent Stelner. The fact that the committee has de cided to add another wlng-to the receiv ing ward and is seriously considering the granting of the other wing. Is taken by many ss something of a repudiation of statements of the extravagance in this respect. It was in this receiving ward that the "Vermont marble" has been placed and It is there that the magnificent operating rooms and equip ment have been installed. This lowest-'priced Victor-Victrola has the same exquisite richness and mellowness of tone which distinguish the more expensive types of this greatest of all musical instruments. Come in and hear it.
