THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 6, 1913. 10 BOARD APPOINTED TO EXAMINE APPLICANTS FOB TEACHERS' E SKY" BILL OF IRE CERTIFICATES. VIEWED AS MODEL The great popularity and general use ot the Royal Baking Powder attest its superiority IN DISPUTE QUESTION JUDGES Members of Multnomah Bar and Bench Differ as to Need for Increase. M'GINN OPPOSED TO PLAN Jurist Declares That He Is Vigor ously Against Measures Now In Legislature Aiming to Add to Xnmber of Judges. That the amount of legal business in Multnomah County Is so great that ad ditional Circuit Judges are absolutely necessary to the proper administration of Justice and to the important require ments of the bench is the belief of several well-known members of the bar who have occupied places on the Circuit bench and are familiar with the exactions of the positions. They further believe that it will be insufficient to elevate the County Judge to the Clr- cult Court and send along- with him enough probate work virtually to keep him busy all of his time. Judge Henry B. McGinn, of the Circuit bench, how ever, declares that nine Judges are not needed and that their addition would be a wanton waste of the public money. Some of the ex-Circuit Judges are of the belief that Multnomah County should have three or four more Cir cuit Judges, if the business of litigants, etc., are to be cared for in a proper manner. They also point to the pro posed creation of a morals court, which would give one of the Circuit Judges all he could do In connection with the Juvenile Court. Comparison I Made. It is also pointed out that, while Mult nomah County has nearly as many In habitants as King County, Washington, or Los Angeles County, California, It has but five Circuit Judges, while King; County has nine at work all the time, and two who devote half of their time, and Los Angeles County has 12. John B. Cleland, for many years a Circuit Judge, declared that more Judges are needed for the proper ad ministration of the court work. "It depends upon the amount of new work to be placed In the hands of the Circuit Judges as to how many more are needed to look after the business." said Mr. Cleland. "If they are to handle the morals court work, the probate work and the litigation. It may be nec essary to have three or four more to do it right." "I believe that it is necessary to have more Judges on the Circuit bench In Multnomah County." said ex-Judge C. U. Gantenbeln. "The best argument in favor of this is that, in King County, where Seattle is located, they have nine regular Judges and two who sit in from outside counties half of their time. This virtually gives them ten Circuit, or. as they are known there, Superior Judges. In Los Angeles County they have 12 Circuit Judges. Now, Multnomah County lias almost as many Inhabitants, but its Circuit bench con sists of five Judges. Meanwhile, since the Circuit bench was enlarged from two to five in 1894, the business has, I dare say, quadrupled. From personal observation I know the Judges work hard. Furthermore, It is Important that a Judge should have time to take cases under adVisement occasion ally: it is a dangerous thing to be com pelled, through sheer pressure of busi ness, to decide Important cases with out sufficient time to make certain on the points Involved. Important litiga tion involves so much of public moment that It should be made possible through having- enough men to handle It to give full attention to every case." Two More Jndses Favored. "I would favor the Increase of the Cir cuit bench by at least two Judges," said Thomas O'Day, who also served on the Circuit bench. "It Is simply Impossible for five men to conduct the business of this county and keep up the calendar. The salaries of good Judges is a matter of such Insignificance as compared to their value to the community and the large amount of work they do, that it la not worth discussion. It is a ques tion of whether we are going to have judges enough to keep. abreast of the work or not. I think we should have enough men for the work and we cer tainly have not enough at this time." Will R. King, ex-Judge of the Oregon Supreme Court, declared himself in fa vor of Increasing the number of Circuit Judges. He said It is necessary for the proper transaction of the business, which Is very large and which is In creasing. "There can be no question but that we must have one or two more Circuit Judges," said Mr. King. "The business Is enormous and cannot be conducted without men enough to give It the time and attention Its great Importance de mands." Seneca Smith, who served on the Cir cuit bench years ago, when, he said, the work was light compared to the heavy volume of today, gave it as his opinion that an Increase Is necessary. Smith I'ra-ea Increase. "I would say that, from observation, the work is too heavy for five Judges," aid Mr. Smith. "It cannot be compared at all to the time when I served on the bench. I believe the addition of one or two Judges would be a public bene faction." Lionel B. Webster, formerly County Judge, and a man who is familiar with the work of the courts, said more Judges are necessary. "I should say that two more Judges on the Circuit bench would relieve what I know to be a hard situation," said Mr. Webster. "The work is too heavy for five to conduct and it is necessary to the proper conduct of the business that we have enough Judges to care for It." "It would be a crying shame and disgrace and a wanton waste of public money to put more men on the Circuit Bench in Multnomah County." declared Judge McGinn. "It would simply be a case of lawyers making jobs for lawyers to loaf at. iou may quote me as strongly as you wish as being vigorously opposed to the measures now before the Legislature aiming to increase the Judiciary. Lawyers Declared Blind. "The people cannot be fooled all the time. If these bills adding men to the public payroll go through there will be a day of reckoning. The day will come when no more lawyers can be elected to the Legislature unless this thing stops, for the people are last coming to oe lieve, and rightly so, that they serve their own Interests and not the In terests of the public It has already come to be that a smile Is provoked from a layman when a lawyer is re ferred to as an honest man and this situation will grow worse, tuveryoooy can see this but the lawyers mem elves. They are blind. "As far as making the County Jude a Circuit Judge and assigning to him all probate work is concerned there Is no need of It. If they want to raise his salary to that or a Circuit Judge, all right, but why add the expense of an additional County Commissioner? I would rather see. the officials we have l 1 ' 1 ',J I . iiisi liifiifaaiffiiiiial A f draper i -U S V ; V ' ; '. - zsi" " . , ' - -: I refer now to all of them go to work than see new ones put In office. "I will not go to Salem to protest against the passage of these bills "Ephralm Is Joined to Idols. Let him alone.' I will protest to the Governor when the proper time comes if the bills are passed. I also pledge myself to give the best that Is In me to assist a referendum campaign if ' It becomes necessary to use the referendum. I will stump the county and the state. How ever, I believe Governor West can De relied upon to veto the bills after the true situation is explained to him and he Is the man to whom I shall make my appeal flrst. Example to Be Set. "We are- still working on the cases assigned by Judge Morrow, but on the first of March, when I get in absolute charge of my own docket I will dem onstrate how a public official can wade through work when he makes up nis mind to do it. I do not believe in self-glorification and I am not saying this for that reason, but I am vehe mently in earnest In wanting to do everything in my power to stop these proposed salary grabs. Men must learn that they are not elected to public office to loaf, but to work. Ex penses of government are growing at a terrific rate and, as I said before, some day there will be a reckoning. None of the Judges is doing anything like the work possible." SURVEY OF WATER URGED Commercial Organizations Ask Pass age of Appropriation Bill. Members of the ways and means com- j mittee of both houses of the Oregon Legislature and . speakers of both houses, together with members of the Multnomah County delegation, will be urged by the commercial organisations of Portland to work for the immediate passage of House bill 73, which calls for a survey of Irrigation and water power resources of the state. The following letter outlining the stand of the commercial interests of this city was prepared yesterday and dispatched to the members of the com mittees and others in Salem by C. C Chapman, secretary of the Oregon De velopment League. I desire to call your attention to Houbo bill 73 and Senate bill 90. . These bills are Identical excepting that the House bill baa an emergency section. The bill provides for an appropriation of $50,000 for detailed surveys of irrigation projects in the state. Including the develop ment of water power incidental to such reclamation. The Secretary of the Interior has agreed to recommend the expenditure of an equal amount if the Deschutes River project is jointly Investigated by the state and Na tion. The expense to the state Is thus reduced one-half by such co-operation. It is unnecessary for us to present any argument to show the Importance of having this work done If this state is to be properly devel oped. We assume that there will be no disagreement as to this. The Important question, however, is to have the bill passed promptly, with an emergency clause, as the present Administration goes out of office March 4, and unless the bill Is passed, and promptly, there will not be time enough to take It up with the Secretary and have anything done before a new Administration will be Inaugurated, with a delay certain to result and possibly unfavorable action. We think we are safe in saying that sub stantially all the commercial and Industrial Interests of this state favor this bill. It Is to the Interest of the state and it will cer tainly be very discouraging to those en gaged In securing the development of this state If a measure of this kind does not re ceive the approval of the Legislature. X hope, therefore, that you will do everything you can to secure Its Immediate passage. REED CHAPEL DEDICATED Second Semester at College Opens Is Xew Worship Place.

BANKER AIDS IN DRAFT John A. Keating, of L-umhermens National, Studies Proposed I.egriB. lation of Various grates and Picks Out Best Features. Its object being to combine the good features of "blue sky" laws adopted In other states, and at the same time avoid some of the provisions of the Kansas law, which has been In effect two years and which has acted as a deterrent to legitimate business, a bill was introduced in the State Senate yes terday by Senator Farrell, of Portland, which, if it is enacted. Is expected to provide the best law of the kind in the country. The bill, while it is aimed absolutely to eliminate "wild-cat" min ing promotion, prevent fake orchard operators from pulling off such a deal as was disclosed in the recent Columbia Orchards case and discourage sales of fraudulent securities generally, will not interfere with legitimate dealers in the least Rather, by eliminating the fak irs, it will make it easier for those with meritorious stocks and bonds for sale to do business. Banker Requests BUI. The bill was introduced at the re quest of John A. Keating, vice-presi dent of the Lumbermens National Bank, of Portland, and represents the- result of a careful study of "blue sky" legis lation of Eastern states made at close hand by Mr. Keating during a trip East last Fall. The ideas In his bill come largely from a bill now under consid eration by the Ohio Legislature, and some of the best features of the Kan sas law have been appropriated. The bill carries no appropriation, nor Joes it create a new board or depart ment for its administration should it become a law. It proposes to place its operations In the hands of the State Superintendent of Banks, and to in crease his salary from $3000 to $5000 a year. It also provides that he shall have necessary clerks and deputies. One of the main provisions of the bill is that no dealer or his agent shall be permitted to sell stocks, bonds or any kind of securities without a license obtained from the Superintendent of Banks, for which a fee of $100 a year is to be paid. Banks are excepted, for the reason that they are already sub ject to inspection and supervision by the Superintendent of Banks. To ob tain a license a dealer must apply to the Superintendent of Banks, filing evi dence satisfactory to the Superintend ent of his sound moral character and good business repute. The applicant must also show for what length of time and in what capacity he has been engaged in dealing In securities, and the same information must be furnished regarding all interested as principals, directors or sales agents. A statement must also be filed as to what classes of securities are to be dealt in. The Issuance of a license Is contingent upon the approval by the Superintend ent of Banks of all the credentials sub mitted. License May Be Revoked, A license may be revoked at any time by the superintendent If it shall be shown that the licensee Is insolvent, has violated the law, engages in Ille gitimate or fraudulent business or is in any manner dishonest. Before re voking a license the superintendent must notify the licensee of his inten tion and upon what grounds. The su perintendent must lay before the Dis trict Attorney any evidence of crim inality which comes io his notice. The bill provides that, for the benefit of the public, notice of revocation of any license must be published in a news paper. The dealer or firm wnose license ias been revoked has the right of appeal to the Circuit Court, and may there de fend himself against the revocation or his license. The bill provides that "the court's decision shall consult on the rights of the plaintiff and protection to the public, and shall be final." No licensee shall dispose of' any stocks, bonds or other securities with out filing with the superintendent of uanks such information as may oe re aulred regarding the securities to be sold and the person or corporation issu ing them. This information must in clude a balance sheet saowing In detail all assets of tha Issuing person or cor poration and the amount and sources of the issuer's income during a period 25-CENT "DANDERiNE" FOR FALLING HAIR AND DANDRUFF GROWS HAIR Don't Pay 50c for Worthless Hair Tonics Use Old, Re liable, Harmless "Danderine" Get Results.

It is unwise to take cnanccs by the use of 12 consecutive calendar months. The superintendent may require additional information until he Is satisfied of the soundness of the proposed securities, and then is to notify the dealer of bis approval or dlsapprovaL Exceptions Are Made, However, the bill makes the excep tion that such Information is not neo essary concerning securities that are listed in standard manuals of invest ments. Also, sales may be made to cor porations without the filing of such in formation, to public sinking fund trustees or in case of municipal bonds or other public securities. Public serv ice corporation securities are excepted because it is understood that a law probably will be enacted at the pres ent legislative session giving the Rail road Commission Jurisdlcltion over them. One's own property may also be sold, if the sale Is to be for the owner's ac count exclusively, without filing the Information with the superintendent, unless sales are made continuously or repeatedly. This would be construed to mean that a firm selling its own securities to the public would be held to be a dealer and subject to all the requirements of the law. The portion of the bill relating to the examfnation of concerns issuing se curities is taken almost bodily from the Kansas law. It permits the superin tendent, when he may consider it ad visable, to make a detailed examina tion of the affairs of any company of fering stock for sale. If he finds that the concern is .insolvent, or that its plan of business Is unfair, or is likely to cause loss to investors, he may pro hibit the sale of its securities. Penalties are provided for violation of the proposed law in fines ranging from $5 to $5000, or by Imprisonment up to three years.
