RRIGATIOH MAT
BE REVOLUTIONIZED
Senators McColloch and
Representative Forbes In
troduce Important Bills.
$550,000 FUND REQUESTED
Appropriation of $500,000 Asked
for Completion of Columbia
Southern Project Move First
to Pnt State la Business.
STATE CAPITOL., galem. Or.. Jan. to.
(Special.) Two important irrigation
nd water bills were introduced in trie
Senate today, which, if passed, win
revolutionize practically the entire
problem of Irrigation In Oregon.
One was introduced by Kepresenta.
tive Forbes providing for the comple
tlon of the Columbia Sojthern
project in Crook County through
state-aid and the other was in
troduced by McColloch. providing
for an appropriation of JSO.OOu for the
purpose of investigating the natural
resources of Oregon in land, water and
power to be utilized to the highest ad
vantage of the people through co-oper
ation between the state ana federal
authorities.
The bill providing for the completion
of the Columbia southern project car
ries an appropriation of J5CO,000. Under
the bill the State water Board is
authorized and directed to complete the
reclamation of lands included in Ore
gon desert land selection list No. lo,
Provision is made that necessary ar
rangements be carried out to perfect
the state's title to the project and to
execute all contracts and agreements
in connection therewith. f
State First Mate Takra.
This is the first move to put the
state into the irrigation and reclama
tion business. The Columbia South
ern project has been Ill-starred since
Its Inception and the final effort to
inject the breath of life into its veins
through a private corporation failed
Just before the first of the year.
Under the bill, a project engineer is
to be appointed by the Board which
shall complete plans and specifications
to carry out the work and will have
immediate charge and supervision of
the construction and operation of the
reclamation works on the project.
Contracts with purchasers shall pro
vide for the payment of the full amount
of the lien assessed against the trart
within a period of not to exceed 10
rears with interest on deferred pay
ments at t per cent. Contracts for the
ale of private lands in the project
shall be on the same terms as for
Carer act lands and the Board shall, in
addition, require the purchaser to give
a first mortgage on such private lands.
Failure to make payments of principal
and Interest as within the contract
provided will work a forfeiture.
All money received as maintenance
fees shall be applied to the cost of
maintaining the project, but all money
received for the purchase of land or
water rights in the project shall be
deposited in the general fund of the
state until expenses incurred by the
state In connection with the project
are paid, after which time all the
money, except maintenance, received
from the project will be deposited In
the reclamation fund.
Govrrraor Favors Bill.
The bill Introduced by Senator Mc
Colloch. which has the sanction of
Governor West. J. N. Teal and State
Engineer I-ewis. providing for examin
ation into the resources of the state,
in a way may be classed as something
of a compromise bill to the Columbia
Southern bill, which has also for one
of Its objects the purpose of educating
the people of the state to a point where
they will desire to handle such reclama
tion projects through Btate aid.
"While It may be possible that the
people might object at this time to
handling such a project as the Colum
bia Southern, the plan of investigating!
water resources will lead up to tne
same end," said State Engineer Lewis
today. "Of course the process will be
slower and the settlers on that proj
ect are desirous of securing Immediate
action. In event, however. It is hot
found "desirous to place the Columbia
Southern under state aid just at the
present time the bill providing for In
vestigation of water resources will gain
eventually the same end."
One feature of this bill is a pro
vision that the State Engineer be
given the authority to withdraw and
withhold from appropriation any un
appropriated water which may be re
quired for projects under Investigation
or to be Investigated. If the project
Is found feasible he shall withhold the
same from appropriation until the
money expended In such project be re
paid to the co-operating parties In pro
portion to the amount contributed In
cash.
Vastly Jaaportamt la Proposal.
State Engineer Lewis explained that
this proposition, as carried under the
Tblll. Is one of vast importance, cover
ing, as it does, the larger areas of the
state, while the Columbia Southern Is
a small segregation in which the set
tlers, who have experienced the ups
and downs with the various companies
nd corporations in charge, are desir
ous of speedy action. The Governor is
desirous of placing the question of de
velopment of Irrigation projects under
Btate aid before the Legislature as to
naming what attitude will be assumed
and he also believes that the state
should take up such a project. He was
the one who first placed the matter
before the attention of the Desert Land
Board.
A general statement as to th Co
lumbia Southern project, its status and
Its history, was placed before the mem
ber of the Legislature several weeks
go, the Introduction of the present
btll being the Idea eventually Id view.
WATER POWTJl NEEDS SEEN
Co-operation AVIth State Engineer
ing Offk-e Shows Results.
SALEM. Or.. Jan. SO. (Special.) Co
operation between the state engineer
ing office, the State Conservation Com
mission, the University of Oregon and
thr United States Geological Survey has
resulted in bringing forcibly to the at
tention of the Legislature the state's
needs In the way of water power de
velopment. An Immense chart has been prepared
and set up in the lower corridor of the
Capitol, depicting In graphic shape the
power situation in Oregon. The head
ing is -Unnecessary delay In water
power development Is the worst form
f waste." The chart, which Is ac
companied by a large map of the state,
shows the various power sites which
re capable of developing an aggre
gate of 1.300.000 horsepower. This Is
equal to the annual consumption of
$14 4,000,000 of coal a year.
At present the state uses .173,011
horsepower annually, which is dis
tributed as follows: 64.1 per cent
steam. 8.4 per cent electricity. 26.T per
cent water power and 6 per cent mis
cellaneous. With the use of water
power there would be an annual sav
ing to the state on the present basis
of consumption of $9,742,869.
The state engineering department
realizes that appreciation of the state's
needs in this respect must come grao
ually and at present is only asking
that the Legislature make provision for
the definite examination of the Celilo
power site, which is capable of supply
ing power for 13 cities the size of PortT
land. By this means, it Is planned to
put cheap and effective power within
the reach of every one and thus greatly
stimulate the state's manufacturing
enterprises.
The chart was made under the direc
tion of Professor Young, head of the
department of economics at the Uni
versity of Oregon.

and Wallowa counties by the State
Senate today and John S. Hodgin lost
in the effort that was made to unseat
Kiddle.
The original count showed that Kid
dle was elected by a vote of S108 to
2104 votes for Hoagin. A majority
report sent in by Bean and Tnompson
showed that the appearance of find
ings of fact In a recount made on 22
precincts by Circuit Judge Knowles
developed a tie instead of a lead of
four votes, as the original count
showed.
It was contended that inasmuch as
the contestant had appeared before the
special committee to make a showing
that he had been elected and that he
failed to make this showing, Kiddle
should be retained in his seat.
Minority Report Filed.
McColloch filed a minority report
asking that Circuit Jtidge Knowles be
asked to go into an examination of the
ballots in all of the precincts and report
to the Senate hs findings of fact.
McColloch, in an opening statement,
moving that the minority report be
substituted for the majority report, ad
mlttted that the findings of fact of the
Circuit Judge were only advisory to the
Senate and that the Senate was the sole
and tinal Judge of the qualifications of
its own members.
He called attention, however, to a
provision in the corrupt practices act
which allowed such a recount or in
vestigation to be made by the Circuit
Judge in the Senatorial district where
such a contest occurred on the petition
of an aggrieved party or an aggrieved
elector.

SUPERVISORY LAW IX PERIL
Minority Report Favoring Repeal Is
Adopted by Lower House.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Jan. 20.
(Special.) Spirited debate occurred
in the House today on the question as
to whether the supervisory system for
rural schools should be retained. It
came on the motion of Representative
Howard, of Douglas, to adopt the mi
nority report of the educational com
mittee on his bill to repeal the law
authorizing school supervisors. This
report recommended that the bill be
passed, which would mean the end of
the system. It was adopted 330 to 27.
Mr. Howard said that the supervisory
system is impractical and unpopular,
and advocated more pay and better
teachers for country schools in Its stead.
Lofgren. of Multnomah, and Hurd and
Eaton, of Lane, spoke in favor of
training the supervisors."
Hinkle, of Umatilla: Mitchell, of

M MIGRATION BILL
EATEN Ifl SENATE
Provision Requiring Certificate
of Character Ordered
Stricken Out.
CLAUSE HELD DANGEROUS
Jewish Societies and Organizations
Protest," Saying Russia, by Refus
ing Certificates, Could Stop All
Immigration to America.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. The fact
that provisions of the bureau that the
Dillingham immigration bill might
allow Russia and other countries to ex
ercise control over immigration to the
United States, led the Senate today to
refuse to accept the conference report
on the bill.
The bill was sent back to conference
with the Senate's disapproval of the
provision requiring certificates of
character from emigrants coming from
countries where such certificates were
issued.
This feature of the bill was attacked
as dangerous to the future of American
immigration. The "certificate of char
acter" provision probably will be elim
inated in conference.
Spirit of Clause I'pheld.
"I believe this clause was desired by
the immigration officials to aid them
in keeping out members of the black
hand and the Camorra," said Senator
Root. "But it would give opportunity
to foreign countries to limit or prevent
the right of citizens to emigrate to the
United States. Its effect might not be
serious to the best character of Immi
gration we now have."
Hundreds of telegrams and protests
were received by the Senate from Jew
ish societies and immigration organiza
tions. It was claimed that Russia, by
refusing to issue certificates of char
acter to Jews or other citizens, prac
tically could stop immigration to the
United States.
Lodge Defends Measure.
Senators Stone, O'Gorman and Sim
mons Joined in the fight which was
made on the ""certificate of character"
clause.
Senator Lodge contended that the
provision did not affect Russian Immi
grants and held that the conferees had
not exceeded their authority.
Senator La Follette declared Russia
could prevent its people leaving for the
United States by refusing to issue cer
tificates of good character. Russians
who now come to the United" States
surreptitiously, he said, would, under
the new provisions, be excluded.
"All those who believe in republican
principles of government could be re
fused a certificate," he said. "Russia
knows that one free tongue in New
York Is more harmful to Russian des
potism than 10,000 shackled subjects in
Siberia."
FIGHT IS ON AMENDMENT
(Continued From First Page.)
and regulate the sale of liquor within
their own limits.
Senators Bean and Calkins say their
main desire in introducing the resolu
tion to vote on the repeal of the
amendment is to allow the women of
the state to cast their ballots either
for or against the home rule measure.
It is also probable that the situation
which has developed in Lane County in
raivt t r, tha nnanlncr of the SalOOnS
at Springfield may have some bearing
on the fact that the members of the
Lane County delegation in the Senate
are proposing the resolution.
"Personally I am in lavor oi tne
county option plan," said Senator
Calkins in discussing the resolution. "I
am opposed to state-wide prohibition
under the conditions as they exist, but
on, ,in nnnoaed to the home rule idea
giving cities and towns the power
practically to nullity tne local option
law.
"In addition I desire to give the
wnman . chance to vote on the repeal
of the home rule amendment, Inasmuch
as they had no right to assist In the
passage of It in 1910."

BILL ECHOES BANK FAILURE
Senators Have Measure Prohibiting
Bonus in Bond Purchases.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 20.
(Special.) President Malarkey and
Senator Butler are preparing for Joint
introduction a bill which will be In
troduced later In the week carrying an
echo of the trial of Louis J. Wilde
and the connection of J. Cooper Morris
with the case, as well as the condi
tions that surrounded the Oregon Trust
& Savings Bank failure.
The bill will make provision that any
officer, employe or agent of a banking
institution that accepts a bonus be
cause of the purchase of any stocks,
bonds or other securities by a banking
Institution will be guilty of a crime,
and a penalty will attach.
In addition It will be made a crime
to sell such stocks, bonds or securities
to such officer, employe or agent of
such banking Institution.
This bill Is apparently to be aimed
at defects of the law which are said to
have existed at that time. According
to evidence which was brought out at
the trial of Wilde, Wilde sold certain
telephone bonds to the Oregon Trust &
Savings Bank In large amounts,, and
the purchase of these bonds Is said to
have contributed largely to the bank
failure. At the same time it was al
leged that a bonus had been received
