STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or., Feb. 5.
(Special.) Threats that the referen
dum would be Invoked on the bill If It
was passed by the Legislature, charges
that it Is drafted solely for the pur
pose of protecting the employers of
the state and long arguments against
some of its chief provisions this after
noon failed to avail anything for the
opponents of the Lawrence compensa
tion bill and it.passea. ia: huuei:
but two dissenting votes, those ft Kep
resentatives Upton ani Murnano, of
Multnomah County. Strenuous ef
forts by Howard of Douglas. Parsons
of Linn and a few others tailed utterly.
After a fight lasting from 2 to 4:30
o'clock, led by Upton, Howard and Par
sons, the bill passed, the vote being as
follows:
For the bill Abbott, Anderson of
Clatsop. Anderson of Wasco, Apple

Murnane and Vntoa Contra.
Against the bill Murnane. Upton.
Absent Campbell. Hagood, Lofgren.
Representative Upton, who wa&
speaking on behalf of that faction ot
organized labor which does not favor
the compensation bill with the pro
vision which they allege does not pei
mit an employe to appeal his case to
the courts after Injury, should he so
elect, fought to the end and, when he
failed to accomplish the desired re
sults, held up to the members of thb
House the referendum threat, as Par
sons of Linn had previously done.
Latourette. as chairman of the
committee on judiciary, led the fight to
pass the bill as originally drafted,
plus the amendments reported by his
committee, and won every point, al
though hotly assailed by the opposi
tion, which was bitterly denunciative,
although Upton did admit that, in his
judgment, no member of the House had
been "approached" by lobbyists, which
he declared had been stationed In the
Capitol ever since the House opened lto
session this term.
Raging War Is Bitter.
The light raged hotly throughout the
entire afternoon, with jio cessation of
hostilities until Speaker McArthur de
clared the bill passed as amended, at
4:30 o'clock.
The bill is said to be opposed by or
ganized labor, or at least a section of
it. on acccount of what Sts opponents
declare is a provision it section It
which they contend will shut off a
workman from appeal to the courts
from trying for compensation for in- i
juries or his dependents in case of his
death.
This faction, which was represented
by Upton and Howard, said that em
ployers will use this provision to force
employes to forego any benefits that
they might otherwise obtain under the
liability law as it was passed by the
people in 11110. and open3y charge that
the section was drafted for the sole
benefit of the large employers and the
creat corporations of the state. Their
declarations are refuted by tile friends
of the measure, who assert that the
workman is amply protected and that
he does have the riglqt of appeal to the
courts and all rights under the liabil
ity law.
Representatives Parsons. Howard and
Schuebel. who opposed some features
of the bill, favored a compensation act,
so voted for this one when they could
not get tbrough their amendments.
The measure carries an appropriation
of $50,000 for the first two years, when
tbe funds created under its provisions
are expected to care fesr the require
ments and the demands for compensa
tion requested.
Three Commissioners Created.
There are to be three commission
ers, appointed by the Governor, not
more than two of whom shall be mem
bers of one political party. The bill
recommends that these men be selected!
in a manner to represent the various
Interests of the state. They are to
serve four years each at salaries of
jaiioo a year each.
An amendment was adopted to
include employers and employes en
gaged In partly hazardous occupations.
Section 14 was amended so that the
wives and children of aliens may ben
efit. Originally ' only the mother of an
alien could come under the meneflts
of the measure.
Employers who do not wish to take
'advantage of the law, it is provided,
shall so state in writing to the com
mission, and "shall be liable for acci
dent or death in their business. This
they must do before June 15 following
the taking effect of the law. other
wise they will be subject to the pro
visions of the bill.
Representative Howard introduced
an amendment providing that the bill
shall not make it impossible to col
lect damages under the employers' li
ability law, passed under the Initiative.
Casualty Flrma Denounced.
Upton denounced the casualty com
panies, saying that many employers
would settle with employes but for
them.
Mr. Latourette declared the compen
sation bill is the best ever drawn, and
urged its passage as amended in com
mittee. He asserted the employe will
retain ail his rights under the liability
law under the compensation bill.
In section 35. Schuebel. of Clack
amas, found objection to a clause giv
ing the commission power to decide
whether a laborer should be allowed to
take his case into the courts. He of
fered an amendment to strike out this
power.
Parsons of Lane warned the mem
bers that "unless something is done
properly to protect the laborers this
bill will be referred to the people, say
ing he had been so informed. He fa
vored the Schuebel amendment.
Mitchell of Baker declared that the
amendment would nullify the bill.
Lawrence of Multnomah said lie be
lieved that three men, such as on the
commission, would be as well qualified.
f not better, to decide the point, and
was accuse S by Parsons of Lane of not
representing his constituents.
Schuebel defended his proposed
amendment on the ground that a Jury

draft.
Reams of Jackson said such an
amendment would inject a lawsuit and
delay the recovery of damages in any
event.

Mr. Schuebel especially attacked the
power company, saying It had "ex

Ulc v.111 ttion it WOllld COSt It tO
carry the measure to the Supreme
Court, if it passed, ana iwve
clared unconstitutional, as certain gen.
tlemen on this floor have already said
it is."
Irrigation Xot Affected.
The bill, according to Mr. Schuebel,
would not affect Irrigation, and when
it was referred to the committee on Ir
rigation, the other day, he charged it
was for delay. Today he said that the
lobbyists of the Portland Railway,
Light & power Company were the only
ones who appeared before that com
mittee to be heard.
The bill sought to establish a grad
uated scale of rates for water power
rights. Opposing members declared It
would cripple the Irrigation projects of
the state and injure the farmers. While
not all of them were opposed to It as
to Its application to the big power
companies, they said they would not
support It on the ground that it would
work an Injury to the others concerned.
Mitchell, of Baker, also took sides
against the bill. He said it hurts the
farmer and irrigation people through
out the state, and declared that, while
it may he all right in Clackamas
County, where the bill originated, that
Is no reason why other sections of the
state should be burdened with it.

Bitter Fight la Senate.
n,, Kiniml DnpiminlniU f i CT1 t
of the session as far as the Senate is
concerned developd this morning and
waged nearly all morning around the
Dimick bill.
Dimick stated on the floor of the
Senate that the object of the bill was to
bring into the confines of Oregon City
to compel them to' pay city taxes, the
mill properties and in particular the
properties of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power company.
The question arose from conflicting

Birthright I Gone.
He asserted that stockholders of the
Peoples Transfer Company and of the
Portland General Electric, both pre
decessors to tho Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company, were officials
of Oregon City and that through their
efforts, he asserted. "Oregon City was
robbed of Its birthright.".
Joseph declared Dimick an anarchist,
that he has a total disregard for the
property of others, that the bill is
vicious and that the entire class of leg
islation advocated by Dimick is of a
same tendency.
At this Dimick pulled forth a plat
form of the Bull Moose party which he
declared Joseph had swallowed "feath
ers and all." and read the plank rela
tive to eight hours for a day's work
and in so reading accused Joseph of
advocating the "laboring mutt" as he
expressed it, only insofar as it aided
him politically, but when it came to a
showdown he stated that Joseph "was
not there." "You were stronger than
garlic with all due apoligies to garlic
when you came to Salem in July and
swallowed the eight-bour plank, but
now you have faded away when it
comes to a real question of the rights
of the laboring man," he burled at
Joseph.
The debate took a political turn when
Moser declared that even the remnants
of the Bull Moose party, referring to
Kellaher and Joseph, were divided and
that the grand old Republican party
would come back into power four
years from now. This caused Millei
to appear for the Democracy. On a
vote the Senate cast 21 in favor of the
minority report to 8 against,
DAY SEEKS SPECIAL- ELECTION
Bill Would Provide for Referendum
Vote by People If
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or., Feb. S.
(Special.) Provision is made for a
special referendum election to be held
bv the voters of the state August 4,
1913, in a bill introduced In the Sen
ate by Day today. The bill carries an
appropriation of J12.000 to defray the
expenses of the special election, and an
effort will be made by Day to have an
emergency clause attached.
It provides for a special pamphlet to
be issued not later than 30 days before
the special election. Senator Day states
that his idea in planning for the spe
cial election is to obviate certain death
to the effectiveness of some measures
II the referendum were to be applied
In the usual manner. He refers par
ticularly to the referring of an appro
priation for an Oregon exhibit at the
Panama-Pacific Expositon, which, if it
should be referred and take the usual
course over until November, 1914, it
would be practically useless, as far as
exposition purposes are concerned.
CONTEREXCE TO SETTLE CASE
Evans, Cleeton, Grant and Moody
to Puzzle Over Bridges.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Feb. 5.
(Special.) District Attorney Evans.
County Judge Cleeton. Mayor Rush
light, City Attorney Grant and Ralph
Moody, counsel for the O.-W. R. & N.,
are to hold a conference before next
Monday and hit upon some feasible
plans for settling the difficulty that
has arisen between the City of Port
land and the Multnomah County Court
relative to the bill which would place
certain Portland bridges on the County
Court for upkeep and maintenance.
- Mr. Evans and Mr. Cleeton appeared
before the Multnomah delegation to
night to protest against some of the
provisions in the bill, which would
throw the upkeep and maintenance of
the new railroad bridge on the County
Court, and at the same time require
the County Court to take over a lease
maae bv the city for a deck of the new
steel railroad bridge. For this lease
the city is to pay 324,000 a year, ana
at the same time derive a revenue
ranging from $40,000 to $60,000 a year.
The bill would give to the city the
revenue from the bridge and to the
county the expense, argued these of
ficials. At the same time they pro
tested that the taking over of the
lease by the county would be an il
legal obligation that could not be en
forced, and that any taxpayer in the
county districts could enjoin the Coun
ty Court from such payment.
Mr. Cleeton said that under tne con
ditions the court would refuse to make
such payments.
It was suggested by the District At
torney and County Judge that the
bridges be declared county roaas De
tween the hjgh water mark, and that
the approaches be declared as streets
The county could then care for the up
keep and maintenance of the county
road portion of the bridge, and they
said it would be but fair that the abut
ting property-owners to the approacnes
care for their upkeep and. maintenance.
Mr. Evans protested against tbe bill
as being decidedly unfair.
The conference, which was decided
upon, will be held in a day or two to
have the report as to the plan which
will be adopted ready to submit to the
Multnomah County delegation at its
regular meeting Monday afternoon.

STATE CAPITOU Salem, Or., Feb. 5.
(Special.) Declination of the House
today to accept an invitation to visit

explained that on account of pressure
of business here it is Inadvisable for
the House to leave Salem for the trip

was given as the reason why the mem
bers will not go to Corvallls or Eugene.

NATURE WILL
CURE CONSTIPATION
All she needs is very little help.
Constipation is caused' by accumu
lated waste in the Colon (Large Intes
tine), which, under our present mode
of living. Nature cannot entirely remove
without a little help.
The rank poisons in this waste get
into the blood circulation, too, and
make us feel depressed, blue, bilious
and incompetent really sick if allowed
to go a little too far.
All the help that Nature asks, how
ever. Is Internal Bathing with Warm
Water applied by the "J. B. L. Cascade."
This, In a perfectly natural and rational
way, cleans out all the waste and poi
sons from the Colon and keeps it as
sweet, clean and pure, by occasional
use, as Nature demands for a perfectly
healthy condition.
So Invariably successful has this new
and improved method of Internal Bath
ing proved to be. that over 200,000
Americans are now enthusiastically
using it to cure Constipation, ward off
disease and keep them bright, vigorous
and efficient. "
The "J. B. L. Cascade" is now being
shown by Woodard. Clarke & Co., Alder
Street, at West Park, Portland. Call
and let us explain just how simply it
accomplishes these great results.

In the morning, the best way is to
stay In all day. If the cold Is right
bad better remain in bed. Take a
teaspoonful of Peruna every hour dur
ing tho day. Keep it right up. Let
nothing interfere with the medicine.
Eat very little. What little you do
eat should be fluid. Hot soup. Broth.
Malted milk. Milk or buttermilk. The
Peruna should be continued all day,
and at night a hot bath taken. Go to
bed early. The next morning your cold
will be gone.
In view of the fact that a cold is
the beginning of a great many serious
bodily ailments, no one should fail to
heed the above advice. It would have
been worth millions to some men to
have known It. It is of priceless value
to any man or woman.
To nip a cold In the bud, cure it in a
way that it leaves no trace, is a thing
very much to be desired in this country.
This would absolutely prevent chronic
catarrh in an lorms. No one would

treated themselves in this manner.
After catarrh has become thoroughlv

gon City netters are not satisfied with
fishing up as far as the bridge, nut
they demand to be permitted to raid
the pockets directly under the falls.
We will ask the Legislature to remove
the limit even further down stream, to
the mouth of the Clackamas River, and
failing in that we'll put the matter
directly up to the people.
"Inasmuch as we have 10,000 li
censed anglers In Multnomah County
we'll have no trouble putting through
the desired legislation. These Oregon
City folk are cutting their own throats.
Why, hundreds of Portland anglers go
there every month and spend their
money In the city. Tet six or seven
commercial fishermen would wipe all
that out and permit the netters literally
to scoop the entire fish supply out by
one drag of the net."
