COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL TILT

it-peclai.) Protesting against farther
Juggling of a bill by Miller of Columbia,
providing a method for discontinuing
county high schools and in which he
was Interested. Spesker Rusk called
Reynolds to the chair this sfternoon
and. taking the floor, demanded an im
mediate vote on the measure. It was
passed with J3 votes In Its favor.
The bill provides that on petition of
per cent of the dialy qualified electora
of a county who are taxpayers, the
question of whether a county high
school shall be continued Is to be sub
mitted to the voters of the county.
Speaker Rusk. In explaining the need
for such a provision In his county, said
that Wallowa County had a high achool
maintained by the county and located
at Enterprise. Excellent high schools,
embracing- the same course of study and
advantages, are maintained at Lstlne.
Joseph and Wallowa by a special tax on
the taxpayers of those respective towns.
For that reason the voter of those
three towns are opposed to continuing
the county high school at Enterprise
at the expense of the county, said
Speaker Rusk, contending that they
have no use for the school, having pro
vided equally good educational facili
ties in their own communities.
The bill was opposed by friends of
the county high school, for fear Its en
actment might endanger the continu
ance of these Institutions In other coun
ties of the state, where conditions were
not the same as In Wallowa Countj.

STATE CAPITOU. Salem. Or.. Feb. 15.
(Special.) After consuming three houra
In debate, the Senate today sustained
fJovemor West's veto of Powerman's
Senate bill No. 15. creating the ofTlco of
Assistant Secretary of State. Only 1
votee could be mustered against the
veto of the Governor, while It stood to
sustain It- Bowerman lost three votes
since the bill wss passed.
Numerous Interesting incidents marked
the discussion. Including a statement by
Bowerman which McColloch considered
an Imputation of his honesty. Slnnott
also msde the suggest'on that possibly
the present Governor might hold the
ambition to beooma I'nlted Stat-a Sen
ator, which he cited as "a laudable am
bition." Bowerman opened the debate by out
lining the features of the bill snd re
plying to the objections raised by Gov
ernor W( In his veto message.
Miller upheld the administration view
of the constitutionality of the bill, calling
attention to the fact that In creating the
office of "Lieutenant-Governor It was,
deemed necessary to prepare a constitu
tional provision.
The Secretary of State." he asserted,
"was elected to transact the buMness of
the office snd if the people have made
a mistake In electing a man who cannot
fulfill Ms duties. It la the fault of the
people and the blame does not belong to
ui."
McColloch sided with the Governor's
atttltude and attacked the emergency
clauso attached to the bill.
"Let me see that letter." snld Bower
man to McColloch, when McColloch had
closed.
"My word is sufficient," declared the
Senator from Baker.
"That letter." suld Abraham, after
recess. 'Is not the complete letter as It
was read. The original letter asked ex
pressly that no publicity be given to Ite
provisions and severs! other matters
were brought out which throw different
light on lta contents.
"We elected Secretary Benson to office
with a misgiving that he might never be
able to fill that office, but I say It 'a
high time that sympathy be wiped out
and the bualness of the office snd the
board be placed in a position where It
may be done properly."

FRAUD CHARGES RAMPANT
Although Originally Fathered and
Suggested by Present Adminis
tration Kffort to Effect Com
promise in Case Fails.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 16.
Special.) Feuds, "which have caused
bloodshed, murder and terror In tho
early days and have continued down to
the present for 25 years in litigation
through the courts and boards of the
state, are yet unsettled as an effort to
effect a compromise In the Warner Val
ley Stork Company lBnd case, died In
the Senate today with a House bill of
Thompiton's seeking to bring about such
a compromise.
The bill was killed at the request of
Governor West, 'although it was origin
ally fathered and suggested by the ad
ministration. Declaring such a compromise an at
tempt to perpetuate a gigantic fraud on
the school children of Oregon and at
tacking the bill and the reasons for its
Inception. Bowerman made a strong at
tack upon the proposed measure on the
Senate tloor. He recited the history of
the case and strongly condemned the
theory that would effect by compromise
a matter which Is still pending In the
courts and which would result In taking
away from the school funds of the state
at least half a million and perhaps
three-quarters of a million of uollars.
The bill Involved 22.000 acres. It was
alleged on the floor that the land was
originally secured from the state by
fraud and that It has been held by
fraud ever since. For many years the
stato has been conducting litigation to
secure the land from Its present owners
and had won in one of the courts when
It was decided to make a compromise.
After the decision for the state it was
asserted, attorneys and others flocked
into the land office and made filings
for these lands to tne extent of 3000
acres. Under litigation there were about
5200 acres Involved, but In the Thompson
bill to effect a compromise the state
would be given about 4200 acres, the set
tlers 3000 and the remaining 15.009 acres
would remain with the company.
In filing Its report today the Judiciary
committee was split. Bowerman, Slnnott,
Barrett of Washington and Norton be
ing a majority against the passage of
the bill and Malarkey, Bean and Mc
Colloch being on the minority report
favoring the passage of the bill.
Malarkey. McColloch and Bean spoke
favorably for the bill, explained the
doubtful status of the case in the courts
and urged that the land board be
trusted with the disposal of the lands.
Speakers for the bill declared that the
land board Is In a better position to
know how the land should be disposed
of than any others in the state and
Malarkey resented an inference that the
influence of Carey & Kerr is being used
to secure passage of the bill and Inci
dentally paid a high compliment to the
Integrity of Governor West and Treas
urer Kay.
During the dispute Governor West
sent word to McColloch to stop the fight
ing on the bill and ask for Its Indefinite
postponement at the request of ,the ad
ministration. As the bill was an admin
istration bill tbia was immediately done.

BLOW DEATH TO SH1I.OCKS
Senate Approves Measure Curbing
Money-Lenders' Industry.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 15.
(Special.) Ammes bill, directed at
"Shylocks," passed the Senate today,
much disfigured, but still In the ring.
The bill received favorable vote only
after a warm discussion, which took a
wide range.
Abraham was against the measure
from the start. He declared that It
would create Inequality and discrimi
nate against the free rights of the in
dividual. Joeeph, on the other hand,
made the strongest plea for the bill that
he has made for any measure this sea
slon. "Tou have no idea of the -lciousness
of this custom as it exists In Portland
today," was his assertion. "1 know of
a certain banking institution there
which has Its cutomers by demanding
tribute from them and I know of men
who pay four times the amount of their
loan to be free. These assignments are
held with the names of the assignors 'n
blank and it is Just like reading the
moral law to attempt to wade through
one of the assignments."
The bill as passed, with numerous
amendments, provides that no employe
may secure a loan for less than
unless he receives the consent of his
employer. The bill was carried with 21
voting in favor of it and eight against it.
