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.

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.

STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or.. Feb,

Insistence that the bill has been with
drawn pending further consideration
of Its provisions by some of the inter

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

WESTERLUND of Jackson, who raises

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. And she
Is wisdom itself who knows of or learns
of that famous remedy. Mother's Friend.
This is an external application for the
abdominal muscles and breasts. It cer
tainly has a wonderful Influence, allays all
fear, banishes all pain, Is a most grateful
encouragement to the young, expectant
mother, and permits her to go through the
period happy in mind, free In body and
thus destined to anticipate woman's great
est happiness as nature intended she should.
The action of Mother's Friend makes the
muscles free, piiaqt and responsive to ex
pansion. Thusvall strain and tension upon
the nerves and' ligaments is avoided, and.
in place of a period of discomfort and con
sequent dread, it is a season of calm repose
and joyful expectation.
There is- no nausea, no morning sick
ness, no nervous twitching, none of that
constant strain known to so many women,
hence Mother's Friend Is really one of the
greatest blessings that could be devised.
This splendid and certain remedy can be
had of any drupgist at $1.00 a bottle, and)
is sure to prove of inestimable value, not
only upon the mother, but upon the health
and future of the child. Write to Bradfleld

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.

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,

roared with laughter.
Latourette maintained a complete
silence, ignoring Eaton.

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

When the bill passed a remarkable

THAT TIRED FEELING
Suggests Grandmother's Remedy
It's true, the season is here with its
sudden changes, and the old idea that
we need a blood medicine is not with
out reason. Too much heavy food has
caused a torpid liver, sluggish blood,
and a weak, tired out feeling.
Sulphur, cream of tartar and mo
lasses was grandmother's remedy but
that has long ago been displaced by
Vlnol. a combination of the two most
world-famed tonics, namely, the medi
cinal curative elements of the cods
liver without oil, and Iron for the
blood.
Vinol builds you up, makes you eat
more and dlgst better, makes your
