OLD APPELLATION IX DISCARD "State Board of Agriculture" Now Becomes "State Fair Board." STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or.. March j. (Special.) The clumsy title State Board of Agriculture is abolished under one of the bills of this session which is to become a law and the Oregon State Fair will be conducted by a board known as the State Fair Board. The old appellation haB been the bane of the lives of several people, particularly newspapermen. The State Fair, unless the referendum Is applied, which is not considered likely, is also to have the first start toward modern buildings for several years through the appropriation of $60, 000 for a new pavilion. The present pavilion is an old wooden shack, leaky In places and entirely inadequate to the needs of the fair. Marriage License Law Sure. STATE CAFITOI Salem. Or., March S. (Special.)

The rubber factory officials, who have been subpenaed, will appear to morrow before the Senate Investigating committee. WEST VOICES CONFLICT Governor Vetoes Smith Bill Instead of Corson's, STATE CAPITOL Salem. Or., March S. (Special.) Senate bill 101, by Smith of Coos and Curry, was vetoed by Gov ernor 'instead of Carson's Senate Mil 25s, the Governor declaring: th&t the Kmlth bill would conflict with the Car son bill. The Smith bill related to the manner of selecting- delegates to con ventions. ' In vetoing thi bill the Gov ernor said: : This bin abolishes the provisions of the people's direct primary law requiring the nomination of delegates to constitutional conventions In the direct primary. It allows the minority of the voters of any political party that is subject to the direct primary to elect all the delegates to 'their party national convention, and to nominate al' the party candidates for presidential elec tors. The law was enscted by the people to allow every faction of a political party to elect Its fair share of delegates to the party National convention and to nominate Its fair share of its party candidates for presi dential electors. It is proposed to make these changes without referring them to the people for their approval or rejection. Senate bill 'o. by Senator Carson, carrying' an emergency clause and now a law, makes a political party subject to the direct primary law which at the last pre ceding' general election polled for its can didates for presidential electors at least 0 per cent of the entire vote cast for that of fice in the state. This bill provides that "the members of the political parties which, at the next preceding general election polled for their respective candidates for Representative in Congress at least 25 per cent of the entire vote cast for that office In the state, shall elect their party delegates to their Ra tional convention, for the nomination for their party candidates for President and Vice-President of the United States, and shall nominate candidates for their party presidential electors at the direct primary election. There is this conflict existing between the Carson law and Senate bill No. 101 as to the definition of a political party subject to the direct primary law for presidential electors. I therefpre return this bill with my veto, PRISON PUN INTERESTS OPERATION1 OU STATE BOARD OF CONTROL TO FORE. Clash Seems Almost Inevitable Be tween Governor and Kay and Olcott Over Penitentiary. - STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., March 3. (Special.) With the approval by the Governor of the bill creating a state board' of control considerable in terest attaches to the operations of that board during the coming year. It provides that all of the institu tions shall be under the control of the board, consisting of the Governor, Sec retary of State and Stato Treasurer. Now some of them are in the hands of the Governor exclusively, others in the hands of different boards. It is in connection with the Oregon State Penitentiary, now controlled by the Governor, that the chief interest in the working of the new bfcard, which will come Into power along early in June, is attached. The executive has established certain radical policies at the prison, such as his "honor sys tem," with which the other two mem bers of the Board, Secretary Olcott and State Treasurer Kay, have not been en tirely In sympathy. The "honor sys tem" is the one particular feature where a clash not only seems possible, but inevitable. At times there has been as high as 125 or 140 men who have been dis tributed about the various institutions and in different parts of the state on road work and sundry classes of em ployment, who have been without guard and who have been allowed wide privileges provided only that they agree to abide by certain rules. While this system did not originate as a child of the Governor's brain, he was the first to place it in use in Ore gon and many who have watched Its operations in Oregon declare that he has run wild with the policy. State Treasurer Kay is no particular friend of the system as it is used and believes more or less In discipline for con victs. It is thought barely possible, that with the power to parole and grant conditional pardons that is vested In the Governor he may find In that a method still to continue his "honor system" if it is found that the rest of the members of the Board of Control will balk. As to the Penitentiary, this new method of handling the prison, if the Governor should take this stand, will really go only so far as it applies to the business administration of its af fairs "and will not extend to a point where it will mean control of the pris oners by the entire board. The new plan, however, will give to the board the' power to designate who shall be the heads of all of the various insti tutions and will thus take the power of fhe appointment of the superintend ent of the Penitentiary out of the hands of the Governor, ROSS' PLEA CONSIDERED JUDGE KELLY HEARS EX-BAXK-EE'S APPEAL FOR PAROIE Ex-Banker's Attorneys Argue Law Was Violated Under Misappre hension Both Are UopefnI. SALEM. Or., March .3. (Special.) J. Thorburn Ross appeared before Judge Kelly in the equity department of the Marion County Circuit Court today, asking for a parole. His Attorneys, McCammant and Pipes, urged that the long sentence imposed upon the ex banker was unconstitutional, that he had a family dependent upon him and, finally, that four justices of the Su preme Court of Oregon, Moore, Bakin, Burnett and McBride, had signed affi davits stating that the crime with which Ross was charged did not imply moral turpitude. It was further argued that Mr. Ross was working under a misapprehension. In that he honestly believed that the Supreme Court had 'made a ruling al lowing the diversion Of state funds to other banks. Both he and his attorneys are hope ful, and believed thas they convinced the court that a. parole should be granted. Judge Kelly has taken the matter under advisement, promising a decision within the next day or two. . Editor Takes Job In Helena. OREGON CITY, Or., March S. (Spe cial.) G. E. LaFollette, who has re signed as editor of the Estacada Prog ress, left teday for Helena, Mont., to become managing editor of the Morn ing Independent, of that place. Mr. La Follette was in charge of the Estacada Progress for more than one year, and the paper made marked progress under his administration. He is a nephew of United States Senator LaFollette. of Wisconsin. J. W. Reed. ex-Mayor of Estacada, is the principal owner ot the paper In that city. Body of Drowned Man Found. ASTORIA, Or.. March 3. (Special.) The body of the man who fell over board from the O.V". R. & N. wharf yesterday was found this afternoon and proved to be that of Martin Augensen, who arrived here two weeks ago from Rainier. He has been working as a longshoreman. Lane Delegation Responds. ECGENE. Or. March S. (Special.) Representatives Eaton and Parsons went to Salem today to be present for the closing session of the Legislature, and Senators Bean and Calkins and Representative Hurd go tomorrow morning. The Lane County delegation will thus be complete. TWO SCORE VETOED BILLS ARE UPTODAY Large 'Number of Desks in Each House Opened by Those Living Far Away. . QUORUM DOUBT REMOVED Continued Session of legislature "Promises to Be Methodical and Business-Like Reames Ac tive for Fish Bill. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or. March 3. (Special.) There will be' 40 vetoed bills to pass upon when the Legislature reconvenes here tomorrow. Legislators are pouring Into Salem from north, south, east and west to night, and, although many were due to stop over In Portland today and to night, to arrive in Salem at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, " nevertheless a large number ot desks were reopened In each house tonight. It was noticeable that among those arriving tonight were those from the far-away points. Indicating that there will be no difficulty In gathering to gether all of the legislators on Tues day. Session to Be Methodical. The continued session opening to morrow promises to be methodical, businesslike and to go off with the dis patch (that has marked preceding days of the earlier session. Members have agreed not to consider any other prob lems of legislation but the question ot vetoed bills. However, if. the members reach the conclusion that the Governor, In his veto messages, has pointed out any ma terial defects in legislation that has been passed. It seems unquestionable that such legislation will be discarded, as it was the sentiment freely ex pressed before the members left here that the return to Salem would not be in an attitude of revenge toward the executive, but merely to protect the state against rash or impetuous actions of the executive. They further take the ground that it Is the intent of the constitution that the Legislature which passes a bill should be the Legislature to determine whether it shall be thrown into the dis card by the Governor's veto or resur rected by a legislative action. .' No Fartlier Legislation Expected. There seems to be little chance of the continued session opening up further legislation, even though It might so desire. Yet there has been a whisper among some of the members of the minority that they will endeavor to cause dis sension and trouble by attempting to do that very thing. It is thought pos sible that some of the minority mem bers will try to reopen the Rogue River fishing fight by attempting to amend it so that It might meet with the favor of the Governor. Reames of Jackson County, one of the Governor's first lieutenants, dis likes the present Rogue River fishing bill that has been vetoed by the Gov ernor, because it will interfere some what with some of the pleasures of Jackson County sportsmen. He would prefer to see the law- passed in 1910 stand as It is, and have all commercial fishing along the river bottled up so that Jackson County sportsmen could have untrammeled fishing by closing the river to the sea so that the fish can run freely up t6 Jackson County. It seems probable that he will make an effort to- reopen the question, with the hope of causing sufficient dissen sion so that the fishing bill will be killed by- sustaining the Governor's veto. But it seems likely from the lineup voting on the bill before that It has a good chance of becoming a law, notwithstanding the veto of the Gov ernor. It seems probable that there will be 65 members of the House here at least, and, Inasmuch, with a full quota. It re quires only 40 votes to pass a bill, not withstanding the veto of the Governor, In the House, and 20 in the Senate, there will be a sufficient number in both houses to put the quietus to any veto messages which are "considered bad business for the state.

V LISTER'S STAND IN DOUBT Even If Governor Falls to Approve Measure He Will Not Have Dem ocrats With Him Highway Fund to Get Big Aid. OLYMPIA. 'Wash., March 3. (Spe cial.) When contending factions In the Washington Legislature got together on a programme of good roads legisla tion today, all speed records for pass ing bills were broken, the most impor tant road bill enacted in this state In many years being put through both houses and signed by both presiding officers and sent to Governor U-ier for approval in less than an hour. As far as the Legislature Is concerned the bill brings to a peacable termina tion a fight which threatened all last week to result In a deatuock on the general good-roads issue. Contending factions were . the Republicans and good-roads enthusiasts on one side and Governor Lister and most of the Demo crats on the other. The settlement which resulted In today's action was made between the Republicans and road supporters and Democrats who are close to the Governor. As to the Governor, it Is not known positively what his stand will be, but It is thought he will O. K. the measure, even though it is not what he wants. If he opposes it he will not have the Democrats belnd him. Tax Levy to Aid Highways. The bill as passed provides for a tax levy for the publio highway fund of $1,500,000 in 1913 and $1,000,000 each year thereafter. The present annual levy Is $500,000 for thiB fund. The In crease for 1913 over the present levy Is 11,000,000 and for each year there after $600,000. This bill is a compro mise of the bill vetoed by the Governor providing: $1,000,000 Increase each year.

Teacher Retirement BUI Passes. The teachers- retirement bill, re cently passed by the Senate, was passed by the House today. The bill provides for a referendum vote at the general election In 1914 on the creation of a fund for the purpose of retiring school teachers of the state who have served more than 30 years. As passed by the House the bill contains some amend ments upon which the Senate must act before the bill can go to the Governor. The Senate passed a bill providing for the establishment of a state plant to manufacture powder to be sold at cost to those clearing logged-oft land and one creating the new county of Cleve land by dividing Yakima County. A bill was introduced in the House appropriating $300,000 for putting into eifect the initiative and referendum amendments to the state constitution. Thhj amount Is considered sufficient to defray the cost of submitting 20 bills to the voters. When a, military bill was pending to day, W. H.
