8 THE HORNING OREGONIAN. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1913. TV0 ARE BLAMED FOR SENATE DELAY STATUS OF BILLS PASSED IN OREGON LEGISLATIVE BRANCHES MEASURES MAY HALT Multnomah Minority Accused of Too Great Success in . Filibustering Field. JOSEPH IS STAR SPEAKER KelUher, Through Lengthy Service, I Is Said io Be Familiar With 3 tan y and Dertons Arts of Impeding Legislation. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or, Feb. 16. (Special.) In the minds of many members of the Legislature there are several excellent reasons for continu ing; the session until March 1, but foremost among these are two which they assert make It practically necessity. One of these Is Senator Joseph, and the other Is Senator Kellaher. Regardless of every effort that has been made to expedite business, these two members - have assumed the at titude of obstructionists. Labeled the "minority" they have taken that posi tion with a considerable degree of success. A material portion of the time of the Senate has been consumed by the speeches of Joseph, and the tactics of Kellaher, and as a result legisla tion has been delayed. As an efficient working body It seems doubtful if the Senate has been duplicated for many sessions, and re gardless of the tactics which have been need by these two Senators from Multnomah a vast amount of legis lation has been passed upon, but at the same time no Senate has had as much legislation before It as the pre sent one. and seldom such Important legislation as it has had to grapple with. Kellaker Shows Experience. The main delight of the two Sena, tors mentioned has been to use every means In their power to obstruct legi timate business. Kellaher has been a member so long that he is familiar with all the arts of the game when It comes to exer cising parliamentary tactics to delay procedure and to tie up the work of the session. Joseph is tne star speecn- msker of the decade. He Is able to talk on any question which comes up and continue as long as he wishes. His speeches represent a fair percentage of the working time of the session. It has made no difference to Joseph whether the subject referred to the labeling of goat meat or Involved some matter of vital Importance to the citi zens of the state. Estimating on the basts of JS a m'n ute for the session, Joseph has un doubtedly spoken up several thousand dollars' worth of the taxpayers money. no matter whether the topic was frivolous or t important. Team Work; Appareat. Kellaher and Joseph have ' worked together on the scheme to obstruct legislation, and their efforts have been painfully palpable. The work of these two members has been taken largely Into consid eration In arriving at a conclusion that the actual work of the session cannot be completed within the cus tomary 40 days. While, there, is no method of determining this, it Is al most certain that Joseph has con sumed more of the time of the Sen ate In speechmaklng than all the other members of the Multnomah County delegation combined. Kellaher has been busy along his own particular line of obstructionist maneuvres. Between the two the de lay haa been apparent. These two Senators seem to be the main reason for holding over to com plete the work now before the Legis lature. EIXOGT MAKES SOLON BLUSH Senator Von der Ilellen Praised by Fellow Members. ' STATE CAPITOL. Salem Or.,' Feb. 16. (Special.) Senator Von de Ilellen. of Jackson County. Is blushing like a I young schoolgirl today. During the wee small hours of this I morning, when the Senate was clean ing up its final strokes on the calen dar, one of the bills coming up had been Introduced by Von der Hellen, provid-1 Ing for a rolllage tax for the Ashland Normal School, the bill to be submitted I to the people. The Senator from Jackson was ac corded a pleasant surprise when, one after another, the Senators, Including President Malarkey. Senators Moser, Day, Joseph and others, rose to their feet and began eulogizing the author of the bill. They declared that if for no other reason than the fact that it was Introduced by the Senator from Jackson they would vote for It and they elaborated upon his qualities as a man and as a legislator. TEXTBOOKS SPLIT SENATE Dar Bill Defeated, but Compromise May Be Reached. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or, Feb. 16. (Special.) The Senate Is split wide open over ' the question of free text books and. while apparently there Is a majority In favor of free textbooks, the bill of Senator Day, which has met with defeat, contained provisions which failed to get them together In sufficient numbers to bring about Its passage. The present system of textbooks as I used la the schools met with severe at-1 tack from many Senators. One principal objection to the Day bill haa been found in the fact that It failed to provide free textbooks for parochial schools. It was contended that this Is a discrimination. Under these conditions It seems pos ' sible that the members may get to gether on a bill which will secure the approval of the majority of the Senate to provide for free textbooks up to the high school grades. Klamath Man Buys Share Plow. KLAMATH FALLS. Or, Feb. 16. (Special.) C. W. Sherman, Jr., of Dairy, has ordered a caterpillar engine and a 10-share gang plow. He intends to plow by contract the coming sea son and says he can turn from 60 to 60 acres per day. Some of the farmers are contracting with him to do their Spring plowing, expecting to do the other work themselves and In this way save hiring so many, hands. Mr. Sher man is also having a sage grubbing machine built, which Is his own Inven tion, and expects to put that to work when the plowing season Is ended. SENATE! BILLS PASSED UT THE) SENATE., 5.

PEOPLE'S WILL IS WANTED State Legislature Inclined to Shift Responsibility of All Large Ap propriation Acts Direct to Voters' Shoulders. OLTMPIA. Wash.. Feb. 16. (Spe cial.) When the Washington Senate recently Invoked the referendum on,the teachers pension bill, which was passed by both houses, it .is believed a prece- Ident was established which will effect Important legislation during the ses sion. It is believed an attempt will be made to refer all important questions of the session to the final vote of the people. The action on the teachers' pension bill came at the conclusion of a heated session in which opinion was evenly divided upon the question of permit tins; a special tax levy for the pension fund. It shifted the responsibility from the Legislature to the people directly. N Since that action the referendum idea I has permeated the atmosphere at the I Capitol with the result that an at tempt will be made to Invoke the refer lendum on practically kll of the im- Iportant problems of the session, in eluding, perhaps, the Vancouver-Port land bridge. Several legislators have announced that while they would not favor a direct tax or bond issue or ap propriation for the bridge, they would be willing to pass a bill and then refer the question to the people for flnal I settlement Before the road tax problems are settled they may suffer the same fate. I At nearly all sessions attention ' has been paid to the question of Increased I taxes, and many county delegations have stood as a unit on all questions against special tax levies or large ap proprlatlons which would 'necessitate the increase of taxes. In the lobbies many persons are working for lower taxes. They are threatening to Invoke the referendum on financial questions of doubtful merit unless the Legislature takes that ac tion of its own accord.

Campbell for the cancellation of a purchase of land by the state, contains a gold brick and that It is one which would open up a serious problem in re lation to the ol'd wagon road land grant of The Dalles have been made with such Insistence that the bill has been with drawn pending further consideration of Its provisions by some of the inter ested legislators. The bill came in and was passed on the representation that it was a ques tion dealing with school lands. But the assertion was made that the land was included In The Dalles wagon road grant and as a result Jt was argued It would merely be the opening wedge to reimburse a large number of other peo ple who are laboring under a similar condition. Teal Hatchery Bill Falls. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or.,' Feb. 16. (Special.) An effort that has been made by people of Polk County for years to place the Teal trout hatchery under the supervision and maintenance of the State has failed, the bill being indefinitely postponed at the closing early morning hours of the Senate session Sunday morn ing. Sidelights of Legislature COLONEL BUSH, a prominent citizen and heavy taxpayer of Bull Run. who Is atendlng the sessions, says: The folks at home should be proud of the fact that the Legislature has to send to Bull Run for drinking water." WESTERLUND of Jackson, who raises apples near Medford and who usually has a good supply on hand at his desk in the House, tried to pitch one to Lawrence of Multnomah one day last week while the House was in session, when a page, who was dls trlbutlng calendars, caught the apple. Lawrence was not only disappointed but chagrined, and was laughed at by his colleagues who witnessed the neat little trick. However, the page, after retaining the apple for a time, gave it to Lawrence. One of the most Important matters ibonl which women concern themselves Is their future status as a grandmother.

It was a regular love feast and senti ment ran high. HAGOOD of Multnomah made one of the best speeches of his life late Saturday afternoon on the House floor, when he championed a bill 6y Latour ette giving cities the right to take over and control lighting systems. The bill was savagely atacked by people who charged it was engineered for the purpose of benefiting the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company, although doubtless that company did not even know of it. After a fierce fusillade from every section of the House, Mr. Latourette arose and, in a droll tone of voice, said: "Mr. Speaker, if there is' no objection. I wish to withdraw the bill; I never looked at it and think it a poor bill; I Introduced it by request." "That's the last time I champion any other man's fight," said Hagood, scornfully. LATH Saturday night some one In the lobby cried out "No!" when the clerk of the House was calling the roll on a bill when the name of Bonebrake of Benton was called. Bonebrake arose and rebuked the lobby, appealing to the Speaker against such action, and Mr. McArthur "called down" the lobby, warning that such a thing must not occur again.

Xf R, SPEAKER, If this bill carries, a a I'm going to put in a bill for commission to take charge of my busi ness," said Nolta of Multnomah, when the House was considering one of the numerous bills to create a commission to govern this or that. "I don't con Elder myself capable of running my own business after seeing all the help the dear people need in seeing that their afalrs are properly run." LATOTJRETTB of Multnomah made a brilliant speech, although It was brief, relating to a bill in which he was Interested, on - the floor of the House and took his seat. "I would like to ask the gentleman from Multnomah on which side of the bill he stands favorable or opposed, said Eaton of Lane, while the members roared with laughter. Latourette maintained a complete silence, ignoring Eaton. ONE of the most amusing things yet "discovered" by any one at this ses sion was one reported from the House engrossing clerk's room. "A bill for an act to repeal the Lord's Oregon laws, relating to," etc., read the bill. It should have read "Lord's Oregon laws." "I doubt." said a House member, whether the Lord has much to do with the Oregon laws." were married In Buchanan, Mlclu, and for 25 years have resided In Lewis County, most of the time in Chehalis An interesting fact in connection with their married life is that not a death has occurred In their family of four children and 10 grandchildren.

SPEAKER M" ARTHUR did himself and the entire Multnomah delegation proud in his speech for the passage of the bill and enabling act for the inter state bridge. He took the floor and, in a most able speech, convinced several wavering members of the absolute necessity for the span, and the further fact that Multnomah County should be granted the simple privilege . by the state of bonding for the construction of this great link between the two states. When the bill passed a remarkable scene took place. The members threw formality to the winds and cheered and clapped their hands. "Mr. Nolta will he excused wnne he goes out ana xeicnes in a oox oi cigars," shouted McArthur apiid the rlin All smiles, Nolta dashed into tne cor ridors, where he "bought" and returned with a box of choice cigars.
