SIXTY MILLIONS IN BONDS REQUESTED Two Big Issues Asked For in Bills Presented to Wash ington Legislature. LOGGED LAND SCHEME UP Leading Legislator Behind Speaker Taylor's Bill for $20,000,000 to Clear and Colonize Areas Once In Timber. OLYM PI A, Wash., Jan. 30. (Special) The bills providing for the Issuance of a total of 0,0i)0.000 in state bonds were Introduced in the Washington Legislature today. They are backed by many of the most prominent mem bers of the House, who will fisht for their enactment. . One by Speaker Taylor provides for a J20.0uu.000 issue to finance a vast logged-off land scheme and the other for J40.000.000 to carry out an irriga tion project in the Quincy Valley, in ' Kastern 'Washington. The bill by Speaker Taylor has been drafted by a number of lawyers and business peo ple and is said to stand a good chance of passing. It provides for the commencement at once of an Investigation to deter mine the feasibility of a public land clearing scheme outlined in the bill. If the plan is practical an election will be called to let the voters pass upon the question of issuing the bonds. PanhaM RlKht Given State. The state is authorized by the terms of the bill to clear agricultural lands now belonging to the state and also to purchase land 'for clearing or im provements. For logged-off land no more than la an acre can be paid and for seir.i-arid laud HP more than iii an acre. The bill creates a commission of which the Governor is ex -officio chair man, which has the power to determine which lands are suitable for clearing and to make purchases of lands. The commission is restricted from purchas ing lands which entail so much ex pense in clearing that the amount of purchase and the cost of clearing will exceed 1100 an acre. The bill provides that the state land which is cleared or the purchased land shall be aold in small tracts to settlers and the money turned over to a fund to buy up the state bonds and pay the interest. All land sold shall bring a price which will cover the cost of clearing and the Interest on the amount invested. Bill's Fuwc Exported. A commissioner of colonization is provided for in the measure, his duties to be the directing of the purchase, sale and clearing of the land and the directing of settlers into districts where land is available. He is to be appointed by the Governor. Speaker Taylor declares the bill to rover in detail the needs in the state of a land-clearing arrangement for the benefit of settlers. Inasmuch as there is strong popular demand for a logged off land scheme of this kind it seems likely tpat the Taylor bill will be adopted In the main. The amount of the bond Issue may be decreased and there may be some other changes, but It la believed the general trend of the arrangement will be adopted. There are other bills of a similar nature already before both houses. The measure calls for the issuance cf $1:0.000.000 in bonds." he said today, "but the state will lose nothing by the issuance, inasmuch as the Issue is merely in the form of a loan of state money. The lands which are benefited will pay the costs." Uulacr Projeet Aska f-IO.OOO.Ooo. The yuincy irrigation project bill was introduced by McOmre and i"hlpps in the Senate and Urquhart In the House. It provides for the extending of the states credit to the extent of 40."0.0oo for the construction of a canal and irrigation scheme which will bring about 435.000 acres of land in Urunt. Adams, Chelun and Douglas counties under irrigation. The bill provides for the immediate appropriation cf $100,000 to cover the cost of making a detailed Investigation of the feasibility of the project. If it is found to be a practical plan, the ir rigation district embracing the lands to be benefited will be bonded to the extent of 140,000,000 and the state will take the bonds. They will bear 5 per cent Interest. G3-!lle lt:e Line Proposed. The state will then issue 140.000.000 in bonds bearing per cent interest and will sell them To the Eastern and Western bond buyers. The money thus derived will be used in extending and building the Irrigation system, com prising a pipe lipe about 6.1 miles in length extending from Wenatchee I.ake. Fish Lake and the Wenatchee Klver. feed lines, power plants, etc. The main canal will pass under the Columbia River. Provision is made for the construction of power plants and other parts of the project necessary for Its completion and the placing of the land under irrigation. The bill Is backed by the entire Kastern Wash ington representation in the Legisla ture and many commercial and Indus trial organlxat!ur.s of the state. It was proposed by the Quincy Valley Water-L'sera' Association and was drafted by Dean Condon, head of the Jaw department of the Vnlverslty of Washington and Henry Landes, State Geologist. Both of the bills proposed will be ubmltted to the people for adoption or rejection before the bonds are lasned. It is proposed, however, to have the Legislature appropriate 1100.000 to in vestigate the feasibility of the Quincy project and 120.000 .to investigate the logged-off land scheme before the measures go to the people. Senate Takra Spurt. The Senate today took a oudden spurt and In lesa thRn two hours' time passed 10 bill-.. This la a greater number than have been enacted during the entire three weeks of the session up to today. Principal among the bills passed was one giving clttes of all classes the right to build and operate cold storage plants for the benefit of small farm ers. Senator Metcalf. author of the meas ure, declared that at present the small producer Is hampered by reason of the fact that the market becomes over supplied and he has either to sacrifice his products or let them spoil. With municipal cold storage plants they could be preserved until the market improves, he said. Another bill passed was by Stephens Increasing from J300 to 11000 the amount a Joint depositor in a bank ran draw In case of the death of the Other depositor. A bill by Nichols to validate a $J, 000.000 bond Issue for road purposes In King County was passed by unan imous vote. The issue was authorized by the people at the last election. - A bill was passed giving parents the right to recover damages from per sons who cause me em ui .uj son by a wrongful or neglectful act. The House today passed a bill abol ishing Coroners, following the expira tions of the terms of the present of fice holders. The bill which was passed provided, when first Introduced, for the Immediate elimination of the of fice. The change was a compromise. The House committee, which has been looking into the need of a legis lative investigation of the ownership of wharfage property in cities on Fuget Sound, today ordered a printed report made of all the testimony taken by the committee on hearings. The report consists of about 60.000 words. The committee will report the sub stance of Its findings along with rec ommendations tomorrow. BRIDGE SUGGESTION'S ASKED Everybody In .

Chairman Nichols of the com mittee announced tonight that the committee wishes to hear all sides of the question before taking any definite action. The report of the committee will be In the form of a bill for the appro-, priatlon of this state's share of the bridge cost. Just what the provision of the bill will be has not been deter mined. "We want to give everybody a chance to express an opinion as to the merits of the bridge project," said Senator Nichols, "before we Introduce our bill. We don't want it to go In as an omnibus measure. We expect to have the bill complete and ready to introduce within a week.

CHANGE IN BILL AIM Amendments Are Proposed to Waterfront Measure. SUBMERGED LAND SUBJECT McColIoch Drafts Allow Portland Control Only of Property Cash Collected for Leases to Go to State School Fund. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or.. Jan. 30. (Special.) Proposed amendments to the Portland Dock Commission water front bill have been prepared by Sena tor McColIoch and forwarded to F. W. Mulkey, president of the commission, for his consideration. x Two important features are included In the amendments. One is a proposal to change the provision that the sub merged lands In question shall be giv en the City of Portland in fee, so that the City of Portland shall have only the use and control of these lands for the benefit of all of the people of Ore gon. One of the main objections to the present bill has been that It has at tempted to give these lands in fee to the city, when that has been claimed to be a legal impossibility. To get away from the disapproval of upstate people the other important amendment provides that no lease shall be executed without the approval ot the State Land Board and that as much of the money as is derived from such leases as may be agreed on between the city and the State Land Board from time to time shall be paid into the state common school fund. The amendments proposed are to sec tion 1 of the bill. As sent to Presi dent Mulkey today the proposed amend ed section is as follows: "Section 1. That the State of Oregon hereby appoints, authorlies and desig nates the City of Portland to use and control the submerged lands of the Willamette River lying between ordi nary high water mark and the harbor line of said river, as now or may here after be established by the Department of War of .the Government of the United States within the nomorate lim its of the City of Portland, free rrom any rights or claim of any upland own er, or the successor in title of any up land owner, except as hereinafter pro vided, for the following uses and pur poses and on the following terms and conditions, towlt: To use and control the same for the benefit of all of the people of the State of Oregon by now or hereafter constructing, operating and maintaining thereon, as municipal public utilities, wharves, docks, piers, slips, berths, warehouses, etc., in aid of water commerce or transportation, or to lease -said lands to adjacent up land owners for the purpose of erect ing wharves, docks, piers, etc.. and to lease or to rent the same, or collect rent, storage, dockage, pierage, etc for the same, upon such terms and condi tions as the said City of Portland, or the people of the said City of Portland, or the proper municipal authorities of said City of Portland as now consti tuted, or as hereafter may be consti tuted, may determine; provided, how ever, that no such lease shall be made or executed without the approval of the State Land Board and the signa tures of the State Land Board thereto for and on oehalf of the State of Ore gon: and provided further that there shall be paid by the said City 6f Port land or the people of the Bald City of Portland, or the said proper municipal authorities of said City of Portland. Into the common school fund of the State of Oregon, so much of the rev nues as may be derived from such leases as shall be agreed upon from time to time between the said State Land Board and the said City of Port land or the people of said City of Port land or the said proper municipal au thorities ot said City of Portland."

This bill was proposed by County Clerk Coffey, and is aimed at so-called money lenders or warrant brokers, who have been reaping a harvest from witnesses who wished their money at once and allowed their warrants to be "shaved" rather than to wait several weeks for the cash, as they frequently have to do under the present law.

DIMICK CONDEMNS ." LENIENCY Senator Urges Hanging In Place of Electric Chair. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Jan. 30. (Special.) McArthur's electrocution bill, coming up for third reading in the Senate, was sent back to com mittee today pending further hearing from Portland people and also to al low the Speaker to furnish data as to the cost of Installing the electric chair. Dimick. In opposing the bill, offered some mild reproof of the Governor for commuting the sentence of Jesse Webb to life imprisonment. "Why do you wish a more humane manner of dealing with thesa mur derers?" asked Dimick. "Do you want mercy for people like Jesse Webb, who cut up a man's body and packed it in a trunk, and our good Governor com muted his sentence to life imprison ment? Do you want to spend $15,000 or $20,000 to grant mercy for a few thugs and deadbeats who commit mur der? I say, hang 'em. Hanging is too good for them. It is not the man who is hanged that continues crime. It is the man like Webb, who is not banged, who keeps crime going on. We've got the noose at the prison now and the only trouble is that we do not use it often enough." Farrell said that the vote of the women two years from now may change the complexion of the situation and that a chair may not be needed.

If they proceed to lobby to any individual member, or members collectively, he wants them fined in the sum of not less than $200 or more than $5000.

COUNTY FAIR TAX BILL CP Carkln'g Measure for Fifteenth of Mill Levy Differs From West's. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 30. (Special.) A bill introduced today by Bepresentative Carkln. of Jackson proviuea i . -- - - - own tax levy of one-fifteenth of a mill for county fair purposes. ms 3 .. J V. .. Animtv f 'I T Kiln-. IS to De expenueu uj j - erlntendent appointed by the County court. . This bill differs from one introduced early in the session for Governor West by Representative Graves, of Yamhill, in that all the money raised by the one-fifteenth mill tax goes to the county In which it is raised, whereas the Governor's bill limits the amount that may be expended in any one coun ty for fair purposes, the balance of the fund raised to be divided among the counties not raising- that amount. This means that about tlO.000, raised in Multnomah County, would go to the fairs in outside counties, and consid erable opposition has developed against the Governor's bill before tha fairs and expositions committee of the House on this account. PARASITES OF WOMEX TARGET Tpton's Measure Passes House but Nolta Would Widen Scope. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or.. Jan. 30. (Special.) Representative Nolta, of Multnomah County, was the sole mem ber of- the House to vote against the bill by Representative Upton, also of Multnomah, designed to put men who live off the earnings of unfortunate women out of the running. It passed by what might be called unanimous vote, as Mr. Nolta was. In reality, fa vorable to it. Mr. Nolta asked why it was that only the men concerned were to be punished while the women were not mentioned. No one volunteered to give him the Information he sought and he said he would have to vote no. He wanted to have both parties to such an affair pun ished, he explained later, and did not believe in punishing only the man. The bill provides for penalty of from five to 15 years in the penitentiary, no fine whatever being provided. Mr. Up ton made a long speech explaining the necessity for such a law, saying that at present the man who comes under its terms is nothing more than a com mon vagrant and cannot be punished adequately, the longest period being a few months in County Jail. Insurance BUI Easily Withdrawn. STATE CAPITOL., Salem. Or.. Jan. 30. n (Special.) As expected there wai no difficulty in securing the with drawal of Senate bill No. 38. oi the insurance code.

LIFE INSURANCE COMiES Tby Arc Closely Observing Public Health Conditions An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Com panies, in an Interview on the subject, made the astonishing statement that the reason why so many applicants for Insurance are rejected Is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of ap plicants do not even suspect that they have the disease. He states that Judging from his own experience and reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public there Is one preparation that has probably been more successful in relieving and curing these diseases than any remedy known. The mild and heal ing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of cures. We find that Swamp-Root Is strictly an herbal compound and we would advise our readers who feel in need of such a remedy to give It a trial. It Is on sale at all drugstores In bottles of two sizes 50 cents and $1. However, if you wish first to test its wonderful merits, send to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Blnghamton. N.
