with hutrmn barple In the shape of at

of tho City Court."

Building Is Hideous.
"In a building- which no ordinary
business man with any pride In bis ar
fairs would uso for a storehouse It Is
so old and decrepit looklns; tho great
City of Portland houses Its wayward
mn and women and metes out to them
tho punishments for their misbehavior.
On Second and Oak streets thero stands
probably the most disreputable looklns:
houM of that quarter of the city. Us
original deslcn waa hideous, and time.

usMlnoss. has added the appearance of
dway here, so that tho ramshackle old
shanty stands out In srrtmy. hoary tilde
ousnesa as a landmark which, one
sn. can nover bo forgotten. On the
Oak street aldo Is a stairway which
leads to the courtroom. This stair

In Itself. Is further bedraggled by be
ing festooned with groups of the worst -appearing
persons that ran be pictured
br tho mind, even after reading a
description of Dickens' prisons.
Interior la ETen Worn.
"The Interior of tho bulldlns; Is. If
anything, worse. Tho entranco hall
way ta ugly and unclean. The office
adjoining it la a place where men of
every degree of tobacco smoke meet
for a pull at their favorite weed. It Is
crowded during court hours with a
motley assortment of Individuals, most
f whom have business with the court,
and are awalting'thelr turn.
"Tho courtroom Itself Is on of tho
ogllest. most unwholesome-looking
dens I have ever seen. Its unofficial
oocupants ar evidently tho flotsam
and Jetsam cast upoa this shore by the
restless sea of our society. In the
seats set aside for tho public, lounga
loafers of all kinds, who wait patiently
for a salacious cas and seem to bo
onrnlndfu! of tho fact that most of tho
proceedings aro absolutely Inaudible

aisle along the further side of the
room leads to what looks like a dllapl
lated pantry, but It Is tho prisoners
entrance, la this path are atandlng a
knot of loungers, some leaning ele
gantly against a sign which says "Do
out stand In this aisle.'
Fnrllltlea Generally Lacking.
"There ar no facilities for lawyers
other thsn a dl:igy table where the City
Attorney seems to sit when filling
legal forms, or receiving friends. The
bench Is a high sort of pulpit, before
which Is a cramped space for a clerk
and to the left of which Is a chafr for
vkttnesses. In frjnt of this chair there
Is floor space enough to put a sewing
machine, and this Is used as a stamp
ing ground by attorneys, accused per
sona, officers and witnesses.
"The trial procedure Is In keeping
with tho general setting, for It Is muc.l
as follows: About the Judge's seat
and pulpit at one time were grouped
no less thsn le men. all on easy terms
with tho court, soma leaning taeir el
bows on tho desk, others half reclin
ing against tho rail, while a few wer
engaged la conversation with each
other, naturally aiding thereby the de
liberations of the court.
TMs crowd clearing away, a case
ran bo dscrt.d. but tho proceedings
aro carried on In such a manner as to

Immediately around the speakers. The
Judge leans over to his light so as to
hear what Is going on. and never
seems to asmme an upright position,
an anomaly for an officer of ti ls kind.
Procedure If Disorderly.
"Tho procedure In the examination of
witnesses Is disgracefully disorderly.
Vfues'.lurs aro put br both sides. Re
msrks ar Interjected by witnesses and
Wndar.t without addressing the court.
There Is no seTtnc. of privilege at all.
and on the whole. It resemLles a wrangle
over a back fenc between denlsena of a
tenement house, more than any other
scene 1 have witnessed.
"In the middle of one of theeo sedate
trials a man came to the door and
law !d oiit. "Hennessy. you'rs wanted at
th Fxciflc States phone. No one
seemed annoyed when Mr. Hennefsy.
an attorney In the employ of our city,
I believe, answered. Take the message
for me. or words to that effect, and
went on with his case.
"Th Judge himself was most attentive
to every word spoken by witnesses and
lawyer, and seemed disposed to bo kind
ly and sympathetic.
"In a place of this kind th lights of
the poor are Judged. In such an environ
ment the bulk of our humbler citizens
receive their Idea of th dignity of th
J:ds and the majesty of th law. It Is
hist time that we arose to an apprecia
tion of tho vital Importance of this In
stitution and demanded that It be con
dieted In a manner more calculated to
effect correction, promote Justice and
Impress upon petty offender th good
Intention of tho law.
"Th Pollc Court Is th most Import
ant Institution of Its kind In our gov
ernmental irarhlnery. for In It th first
arpearanc Is made of men and women
w!o. through It. might be turned from a
path of vtHotunesa and wrong, but who.
only too often, ar mad enemlea of so
ciety by Its slipshod methods and en
tangled procedure.
JaMlce Is Irapnewible.
I hold that It is Impossible to met
out JusUc or uphold th dignified calm
of a real court In such an environment,
and aa a citizen I feel Justified in de
manding reform her be for any other
plare. I say nothing about the quality
of the Interpretation of th statutes that
Is hr dispensed; I d.) not wish at pres
ent to enter Into th question of particu
lar mistakes which such a court can
make, but I do assert, most unequivocal
ly, that this lptlttition as now conducUd
la a menace to the peace and welfare of
our city. In an environment of crime
and Icdecorum. with witnesses harassed
and bullied by the cocksureness and th
threatening physical nearness of arrest
ing officers, with argument Impossible
because of absolute lark of orderly pro
cedure, there is no hope for men and
women who have erred and aro being
started in a road that leads to enmity
to government by being fined and Im
prisoned upon th author ty of such a
court.
"Much of this eau be bettered at one,
and should be. Tho court should assume
a dignity to which It is entitled, should
demand respectful attendance by all who
Iiav business with It. should give pisin
tlff and defendant a fair and distinct
hearing, should allow for tho uninter
rupted questioning of witnesses, and ar
gument of counsel, should suppress dis
order and Insist upon such an attitude
by all concerned that its business wiU
b facilitated and Its purposes advanced.
Place la Fortal to Sin.
"It Is a pity. Indeed, that this Institu
tion is not a means for betterment, where
Its privileges In this line ar so great.
It has sunk to the level of its clientele
In every outward appearance, and Is as
shabby and as Indecorous as ar the lives
of the meanest pleaders at Its bar. Her
th poor, th wayward sons of our com
munity, and our saddened lives ar
passed upon. It is the portal to a career
of sin. through which many have passed
who should hav been turned aside and
given one more opportunity, but a It
now stands. It Is a devouring monster,
making money for the city and bringing
revenue to our coffers that Is earned
from th sorrows of th poor and th
frailties of th weak.
"Here, before gaping and uncouth men.
the hideous sl.ame of th fallen women
Is publicly declared, while even children
ttlrv to obscenity, as I witnessed my
self. A Ilttl girl In tears described In
public In th.s room the language or a
debauched and sodden man.
"Must such things be? Is the human
soul to be Judged In such a murky at
mosphere? I. for one. think It is not
necessary and should be changed. We
owe to those who need us more thsn
this court give we owe them all It can
give."

Good Things in Markets
BT ULUN TINULE.
THE heavy run of Columbia River
smelt has com In earnest this
week. The delicious little fish ar
selling at three pounds for a dime. 10
pounds for a quarter, or on dollar
box. and there la enough for every
one. "Kor-handed" housekeepers will
probably salt, pickle, and can them for
future us, beside giving th family
as much as Ihejr can eat fried, broiled
or baked. Other fish ar quit In th
background at present; but a good
variety Is obtainable and prices ar
moderate. Chinook salmon and baby
salmon ar both good at about 25
cents a pound. Catfish, sea bass,
croppies and sturgeon cost IS cents;
black rod. steel-head salmon and hali
but. 1 - S cents; flounder, herring and
perch. 10 cents a pound. There Is
again a good supply of rssor clams.
Crabs and lobsters are to be had at
10 to ;o cents each, and 40 cents a
pound, respectively.
In the poultry market prices re
main high, and supplies are light.
Chickens sell at 15 to 30 rents, geese
IS cents, ducks 10 cents, and turkeys
SS rents a pound.
Eggs, on the other hand, are In
creasingly plentiful; and the price is
steadily dropping In consequence.
Kastern eggs sell at 15 rents a dosen.
or two dosen for cents, while the
choicest Oregon eggs cost only SO
cents a dosen. Butter, too, has fallen
off a little In price: so that th break
fast problem, and th cake and dessert
problem are both easier of solution
for the economical housewife
Rhubarb Is slightly moro plentiful
and Is selling at 10 to It cents a
pound. Oranges ar about at their
best Just now. and prices ar very
moderate. A little bitter orange or
grapefruit marmalade Is usually
"grateful and comforting' to the ca
pricious Fprlng Ippetlte, and now la a
good time to make It. Good apples
ar to be had at 10 to IS rent a dosen.
Imported grapes at !0 to SS cents a
pound, and pineapples at 20 to 40 cents
each: but there Is llttl variety to be
had beyond this, nor will there be
until we welcome the first strawber
ries. The vrgetsble market offers nothing
new at prerent. though plenty of the
usual late Winter "stand by i" In th
way of "roots." cabbage and a few
greens. Cauliflower and celery ar
scare. A few good artichokes ar
to be had. A small quantity of egg

Governor Sees Plot.
In vetoing th bill providing that East
ern Oregon shall have one member of
the State Railroad Commission, th Gov
ernor says:
"Ostensibly the purpose of the bill Is
to secure for Eastern Oregon representa
tion upon the Railroad Commission, but
Its real purposes s to legislate out of
office a member of the commission who
baa been and is now giving good service
and who should by a 4 means be retained
ss a member of said commission. There
Is no good reason why the members of
this commission should not be chosen at
large aa the other state officials ar
chosen."
Two bills vetoed this afternoon pro
vide for an Increase In salary for
Prosecuting Attorneys In the fourth
Prosecuting Attorney's district and in
the fifth Judicial district.
Pnbllc-Funda Bills Killed.
For a. second time a bill from
Thompson providing that public offi
cials having public money In their pos
session cannot lend It without au
thority, has been vetoed by Governor
West. The first bill of this kind was
vetoed because th Governor believed
tt would" result In calling In all of the
deposits of state money from the
banks. In his veto message of a dif
ferent bill from th tame source and
of the same purport, he says that one
of th added provisions Is susceptible
of a construction which would nullify
th provisions of th old law. govern
ing the lending of public funds and Is
In other ways inconsistent with the
main body of the said act.
T.ie Joseph bill fixing bonds for eon
tractors on public works Is disapproved,
th Govsrnor saying It would work a
hardship on many good officials who
through Inadvertence or lack of legal
knowledge, should neglect. In taking a
bond, to have It broad enough to cover
th material man.
Second-Cbotce Vetoed.
Resenting It as an attack on th "Or
egon System" and also taking tho po
sition that It is unconstitutional. Gov
srnor West refused to approve Rusk's
House bill, providing for second-choice
voting at the primaries. Speaker Rusk,
In a brief statement given out follow
ing news that the bill bad been vetoed,
takes an opposite position to thst of
Governor West, saying that In his
opinion the bill Is constitutional, that
it Is not an attack on the "Oregon Sys
tem" and goes further by declaring
that he does not consider It within the
province of the Governor to sit as a
constitutional court.
Governor West's main reasons for
disapproval are:
"It seeks to deprive th voter of his
constitutional right to vote for on
person for nomination under the title
to every office 'where more than twice
as many persons of one political party
are candidates for nomination In on
political office division as there ar
position to be filled therein,' unless he
also expresses a second choice among
said candidates. He may not have a
second cnolce. and the legislature can
not, under the constitution, compel him
to name a second choice under penalty
of losing his constitutional right to
vote tor the nomination or one person.
"But even If the bill was not open to
this constitutional objection. I should
consider myself bound to veto It under
mv promise to the people of Oregon In
the recent campaign, that If elected I
would not permit any tampering with
the laws they bad approved by their
votes."
Oliver's I .and Bill Falls.
The Senate bill Introduced by Oliver
and one of the most widely discussed
bills of th session waa also vetoed.
The Governor's message concerning the
bill. In part, la:
"This bill provides ' for the relin
quishment of all claims of the State of
Oregon to certain lands In Union
County.
"By virtue of the provision of sec
tion 2. article S, of th Constitution
of th Stat of Oregon, all property
accruing to th state by escheat shall
become a part of the Irreducible com
mon school fund of this state. There
are probably many equities In thlj case
which might call for leglalatlv aid If
th constitution would permit such a
course, but aa I view th provision of
our constitution above cited it will not
permit such a course and I cannot see
my way clear to approve th bllL"
Case Tp to Land Board.
Thompson's bill concerning title to
certain swamp lands. Is among today's
vetoes. Concerning tt th Governor
says:
"The purpose of this bill Is to con
firm the title to several large tracts of
alleged swamp land purchased from
the state through what is known as
the Swamp land certificate No. 144.
Those lands are In the same category as
those of the Warner Valley Stock Com
pany and the Warner Valley settlers
and are, therefore, affected by th de
cision of the Supreme Court tn that
celebrated case.
"There Is an Impression abroad that
the purpose of this bill Is to confirm
title to the lands of the Warner Val
ley settlers, about whom the public has
heard so much, but such is not th
case. It simply confirms title to hold
ers of several large tracts who are en
titled to not one bit more considera
tion than the Warner Valley Stock
Company.
"This Is a matter which should be
left to the State Land Board to adjust.
In which event It will be carefully In
vestigated. Justice administered to all
parties concerned and the school fund
protected."
BUI Too Tar-Reaching.
Senator Bowerman'a bill providing
that no state, county or municipal of
ficials could enter Into a contract with
th state is also . killed. Concerning
this measure th Governor says:
"In my opinion the provisions of th
law are already sufficient to protect
the state and local governments from
Injury by reason of public officers hav
ing a possible interest tn furnishing

Judges Pay Not liaised.
Probably the bill which was vetoed by
Governor West in th face of greatest
pressure wax the Senate bill introduced
by the Judiciary and revision of laws
committee Increasing the aalaxy of all
Circuit Judges, except In the Fourth
Judicial district, to 14000 annually.
His veto reasons are:
"The people at the last election, and
In no uncertain terms, placed themselves
on record as being opposed to any such
Increase and It Is not for me to consent
to the circumvention of their wishes
through any act of the Legislature.
"The Legislature baa authorised the ap
pointment of a commission for the pur
pose of studying our Judicial system and
making recommendations as to Its re
vlalon to the next Legislature and th
said commission will no doubt when
making its report make some recommen
dations as to the salary of our Judges."
Reclamation Bill Lost.
Believing that the House bill Introduced
by Thompson might retard the growth
of the country Governor West has vetoed
It- Thompson has made the assertion
that thla bill was originally sanctioned
by Governor West. In hi veto message
the Governor says:
This bill has for Its purpose the au
thorisation of the reclamation of cert8-'11
lands In this state now covered by the
waters of non-navigable lakes. While
there Is much merit In the bill. It Is
objectionable In that It does) not provide
for the sale of the reclaimed lands in
small tracts to actual settlers, but pro
vides that the Slate Land Board shall
make and execute deeds direct to the
reclamation companies for all the 'and
reclaimed by said companies arid at
prices to be fixed by the said board. It
Is possible that thla may result in their
acquisition of large tracts of land by
said reclamation companies, and their be
ing withheld from settlement for the pur-pos-w
of speculation and thus retard the
growth of the country."
The House bill Introduced by Miller of
Columbia. Is one of the more Important
of the bills not meeting with the approval
of the Governor. The object of the
measure la to create a prosecuuos i
torney's district in esch county. Gover
nor "West has the following reason for
his disapproval:
The salaries of the District Attorneys
as set out in the bill appear to have
been fixed without giving the matter such
careful consideration as it merite. and
will result in throwing additional burdens
upon the tax-payers of this state."
In vetoing Calkins' Senate bill provid
ing a different rule for bringing actions
sgalnst corporations) than that which ap
plies to Individuals, Governor Wist says
that this Is his reason for taking action:
"I'nder the existing law" his message
reads "both are treated alike and as I
can see no good reasons why a different
rule should apply to corporations than
to Individuals. I return the bill with my
veto."
Although the Burgess bill creating a
State Sanitary and Livestock Board ap
peals to the Governor as having merit,
he vetoed It because It carries an appro
priation of SSO.OOO.
The Fouta bill for determining who are
heirs of estates of decedents was also
killed. The Governor fays concerning It:
"If this bill becomes a law It will
permit the court to enter a decree, con
clusive In Its character, as to who are
the heir and distributees entitled to
property of a decedent by publication
of summons to known and unknown
hThls. in my opinion, would undoubted
ly work an Injustice to heirs unknown
and uninformed." ,
PCBLIO UTILITY BILL IS LAW
Governor Files Malarkey Measure
With State Secretary.
SALEM. Or.. Feb. II (Special.)
Senator Malarkey's publlo service com
mission bill, extending the powers of
tho State Railroad Commission to pub
lic utilities waa the final measure con
sidered by Governor West tonight and
the last to be filed by him with the
Secretary of Btate.
"I have tried to find time to study
n.i.rii,, hill and the bill pre
pared by the East Side clubs of Port
land." ssld Governor West Immediately
after filing the Malarkey bill, "but
press of business has prevented.
"I have been obliged to wade through
several hundred bills In a few days and
parts of days at that, for I have had
to divide the time with office-seekers.
From what I have seen of the two bills
I am convinced that they are both good
notwithstanding what the enemies of
each have Bald. Both the bills were
prepared by men who wished to con
struct good measures, and no matter
which side wins th people will be

Appropriation of J60.000 for the State
Board of Forestry for the purpose of
fighting forest fires will stand, al
though there Is an emergency clause
attached to it. At first today Governor
West Intimated that the' emergency
clause might kill the bill, but be was
flooded with an avalanche of telegrams
explaining that without tho emergency
clause the act would not go Into effect
for 90 days, and as a result It would be
exceedingly late to organize a forest
fire fighting force and the Governor
decided that the reason advanced was
sound.
Ho has also allowed District At

HUSK DEFEXTJS HIS MEASURE
Attack on Oregon System Not In
tended, Says Speaker.
SALEM, Or., Feb. 24. (Special.) "No
attack was contemplated on the Oregon
eyBtem in my second choice bill, neither
do I ' believe the bill unconstitutional."
declared Speaker Rusk tonight. In com
menting on the reasons offered by Gov
ernor West in vetoing that measure.
"Rather," continued Mr. Rusk, "it af
fords the people an opportunity to vote
for two candidates instead of one. Tou
know my record and the record of Sena
tor S'nnott and of Representative Gill In
relation to the laws of the people. We
have all stood for progressive policies
and the policy incorporated In the second
choice bill Is a progressive one.
'The bill has nothing to do with the
primary law. It is merely for party reg
ulation and cannot come within a con
stitutional Inhibition. Rather, in article
2. section 16, of the constitution, it is ex
pressly prescribed that a statute may
provide for first and second choice bal
lots on. candidates.
"In every respect the bill was intended
to Increase the power of the people: to
give them more latitude than they have
now, and was expressly intended as a
measure for party regulation and for
party regulation only."
NAVAL MILITIA IS ALLOWED
Governor Approves Bill Provided
Only $10,000 Is Used.
SALEM. Or., Feb. 24. (Special.) Un
der a distinct understanding between
Governor West and members of the Ore
gon Naval Reserve the Governor has
sanctioned the bill creating that reserve
and has allowed 210.000 of the 125,000
appropriated by the legislature.
Tliia move was made by the Governor
on the strength of a waiver that the
reserve will promise not to use more
than 110.000 of the appropriation and a
promise that no indebtedness will be
Incurred against the state by the re
serve. In the beginning Governor West did
not express himself Inimical to the ob
jects of the Naval Militia, but in Uio
first place disliked what he considered
manipulation In obtaining the appro
priation and in the second place he
expressed the opinion that the appro
priation was altogether too large.
