Are Killed at Polls.
OMAHA. Jan. 10. (Special.) The
American voter is conservative, accord
ing to a compilation of election figures
Jdst completed by. the Secretaries of
Stato of 14 Western states.
For instance: To the voters of these
14 states were submitted 176 questions
of various importance, some under the
nitiatlve and referendum laws, others
n the nature of conntitutional amend
ments and still others Just ordinary
questions. Fifty-one of these were
adopted and 125 failed of passage.
Voters in eight states went to the trou
ble and expense of securing signatures
to 30 petitions under "initiative" laws
and when the voters went to the polls
thev promptly buried 21 ot these 30
questions under an avalanche of bal
lots.
The Legislatures of seven states had
enacted 15 bills Into law and pre
sented them to the voters for ratifica
tlon and the voters ratified Just one of
these 15. The voters of 13 of these
15 states voted on 77 constitutional
amendments. They rejected. 51 of th
amendments.
When the California voter went to
the noils in November he was con
fronted by 48 questions, requiring that
he read more than 5000 words In order
to get even the gist of the subjects.
Oregon voters were called on to vote
on 20 questions. Colorado's oallot.
with 16 questions, was third In length
and Missouri was a close fourth with
IS. Ohio, Oklahoma, Idaho, Montana,
Wisconsin. North Dakota, Nebraska,
South Dakota, Wyoming and Washing

Most of the legislators got away on

Senator Wood, of Hillsboro. arrived
In Portland Saturday night and Joined
the party leaving here last night for
the stata capital.
Ora 1C Porter, of Koseburg. ona of
IougIas County's Representatives In
the lower house, waa In Portland yes
terday. Mr. Porter t understood to ba
an enthusiastic supporter ot the pro
hibition blil.
Senator Thompson, who doubtless
will be elected president of the Senate,
left Saturday night for his father's
home at Albany after passing the day
In Portland.
Senator Butler, of The Dalles, stopped
la Portland en his way to Salem. He Is
one ot the holdover members. He Is an
ex-Judge, and says lie Is interested In
all legislation affecting the revision of
law.
p. M. Cartmlll, ot Haints. was In
Portland Friday and Saturday. He Is
the Representative-elect from Baker
County. He says he has no legisla
tive programme of his own.

Joint district. Both
were elected without opposition. Mr.
Stewart Is editor of tha Fossil Journal. .
temporary president and John P. Hunt.
eX Woodburn. temporary chief clerk.
Democrats Support Thompson.
The permanent organization will be
effected by the election of W. Iair
Thompson, of Lakeview, as President
Bpth of the Democratic members of the
Senate attended tonight's caucus and
pledged their support to him. Senator
Moses, of Portland, will nominate
Thompson. '
But the organisation or tne iouse
will not be completed without a con
test. Although Ben Selling.' of Port
and. has 37 votes pledged for the
Speakership. Allen Eaton, of .ugene,
will curry his fight to the floor of the
House.
The rival Speakership foroes declared
truce tonight while they arranged
for tha temporary organization. It was
greed thut w. Drager, or oaieni,
who was chief clerk at the last ses-
lon, will call the House to order at
10 o'clock.
S. B. Huston will be named the tem
porary Speaker and W. K, Drager the
temporary chief clerk. Committees on
redentiala and permanent organlxa
tlon will be appointed and -a recess will
1 called.
It Is expected that the permanent or
anization committee will advise the
remediate election of the Speaker.
The first struggle for the House or
ganization will come at this point. At
caucus of the Selling . forces tonight
it waa tentatively agreed that William
U. Hare, of HiUsboro, will nominate
Selling.
Tha Eaton forces also held a confer
ence tonight. It ts understood that they
have delegated Ora H. Porter, of Rose
burg, to nominate Eaton.
It is apparent that Celling will be
elected Speaker on the first ballet. He
has 7 votes pledged, and. In spite of
efforts of the Eaton leaders today to
break into this strength, they have
been unable to budge a single man. All
that Eaton can have is IS votes. It is
doubtful If he will have that many. It
is predicted that some of the men not
now pledged to Selling will vote for
him, when the final vote 1s taken.
Attache Not aawa.
C. it. Hurlburt. the Representative
elect from the Multnomah. Clackamas
Joint district who was elected in the
face of his own party's opposition, is
here, but declined to attend either cau
cus tonight. He Is counted, however,
with the Eaton forces.
Granted that Selling Is elected Speak,
er. the House then will proceed to elect.
Its clerks. .
Efforts to agree upon tha clerkships
tonight rroved futile, but it is appar
ent that the list will be selected from
the following candidates:
Chief clerk. W. F. Drager. Sa
lem; Journal clerk, Harold Wll-
klns. Portland, and Harry McClallan,
Roseburg; calendar clerk, Charles Ers
kine. Bend; reading clerk. Dudley
Clarke. Portland; Benjamin Hunting
ton, Drain; Rex Turner. Salem, and
Carleton Spencer, Portland; filing clerk,
William McAdams, Independence; ser-geant-at-arms,
Joseph Singer. Port
land; assistant sergeant-at-arms, Will
iam Mendenhall. Sheridan; doorkeeper,
George Miller,-Baker.
Cochran to Be Chief Clerk.
In those offices where only one name
is mentioned there are no contests. The
first named In each contested case
seems to have the best chances of elec.
tion.
John W. Cochran, of Portland, and
John P. Hunt, of Marion County, are
without opposition for chief clerk and
assistant chief clerk respectively.
Frank Motter. of Portland, and W. A.
VYiest, of Salem, are candidates for
reading clerk, with friends of the for
mer asserting that he has a slight ad
vantage. Irving Moreland. of Hood River, de
clares he has the pledges of a majority
of the Senators for mailing clerk, but
J. E. Bronhy. of Marion County, is
making a strong race against him.
J. W. Church, of Marion County;
Theodore Rowland, of Marion County,
and Glenn O. Holman, of Douglas
County, are aspirants for the calendar
clerkship, with Holman apparently
having an advantage.
Candidate's Mother Dies.
W. W. G. D. Mercer, of Lane County,
sergeant-at-arms at the last session. Is
a candidate for re-election, with George
A. Crane, of Douglas, and H. J. truce,
of Multnomah, as his opponents.
The race for doorkeeper is close be
tween W. I Beckner. of Multnomah,
and Roy Corey, of Baker.
Ben Huntington, one of the candi
dates for reading clerk in the House
receiveda message tonight announcing
the death of his mother. Mrs. Mary
Emma Huntington, at Drain, and he
left immediately for his home. She was
the wife of Benjamin Huntington, or.
a prominent farmer of that section,
and the mother of 13 children.
The Senate caucus was called to or
der by Gus Moser, of Multnomah Coun
ty. On motion of Senator Thompson, it
was decided to ask Dr. W. D. Wood, of
Washington County, dean of the Doay,
to call it to order.
ftnnator Moser will place Mr. Thomp
son In nomination and Senator Garland
will second the nomination. The latter
asked the nrivilega to Join the caucus,
explaining that he was a Democrat, but
that he was going to work hand in
hand with the other Senators. It was
srranted unanimously.
Although pressure had been brought
fb bear to have the caucus nominate
desk officers, it was the unanimous
opinion of the members that they
should be selected at the regular meet
ing of the Senate.

The close of the Irrigation Congress
brings the start of the State Legislature
which will pass on the various meas
ures indorsed by tho congress. Doubt
less many of the members will follow
the legislators to Salem for a final op
portunity to express their wants. The

Mr. Thomson, who was re-elected presi
dent, "In addition, legislators have
been asked to appropriate nou.uuu to

ment and obtain a like amount from
Federal sources.
Two years ago every measure in

Representatives Also Announce Success
In Contracting With Growers to
Handle Produce.
Through the efforts of directors work
ing in the field, much as tho famous
"flying squadrons" whooped up the dry
cause last year, the officers of the Ore
gon Hopgrowers' Association announce
that over 400 Individual growers have
signed their lists, and the fact that the
S100.000 mark in stock subscriptions is
about reached, encourages them in the
belief that the incorporation can be
completed by February 1. " '"
Walter C. Miller, of McMirinvllle, and
W. R. Klrkwood. of Amity, met the
growers of North Yamhill County Janu
ary 5 and signed every grower for his
full amount of acreage. The board of
directors met at Salem last Friday and
outlined the "flying squadron" Idea in
order to complete the incorporation of
the association before the first of next
month.
H. Li. Jackson and Marlon Palmer
were added to the directorate recently,
'and will assume charge of the work
in Marion County. At an enthusiastic
meeting in Mt. Angel they received the I
backing of 90 per cent of the growers
and of the local bankers.
C. G. Coad, in charge of the Dallas
territory, has obtained many subscrip
tions. (3000 being added to the fund
January 5. while H. B. Fletcher at In
dependence added a similar amount to
the fund during the first week of Janu
ary. Directors Jones and Cartwright
signed up representatives of over 300
acres at Grants Pass last week.
During the present week meetings
will be held in Washington and Marion
counties.
HALF-MILL TAX OPPOSED
Assertion SCnde That Lower Cost to
Property-Owners Would Result
In Tarm Improvements Pro
viding Mnch Employment. -
6ALEM, Or., Jan. 10. (Special.)
That a determined effort will be made
to enforce tho economy pledges made
during the campaign at the session of
the Legislature, which convenes here
tomorrow was the announcement of
virtually all the members who arrived
In Salem today. They fully realize
the significance of their campaign
pledges for retrenchment In state
affairs and the abolition of unneces
sary offices, and say they are here to
carry out the will of their constituents.
It was the consensus 01 opinion 01
those interviewed that no good purpose
could be served by a continuance of
boards and commissions which have
functions of a duplicating nature, and
while it Is believed appropriations will
be cut all down the line, the members
say all departments and institutions
will be given ample funds.
. Harmony Is Predicted.
"This legislature," said W. Lair
Thompson who will be president of
the Senate, "will make a record for
economy. Governor-elect Wlthycombe
was elected on a platform of economy,
which during the campaign was In
terpreted to mean abolishment of use
less commissions and offices and con
solidations Of others to promote
economy. The newly-elected members
of the Legislature likewi.se were
pledged to economy and the hold-over
Senators have indicated a oesire iu
in on economical programme.
r-nmniotA harmony will prevail be
tween the Governor and the Legislature
and the pledge to the people will be
fulfilled. I predict great goou 4m
this session of the Legislature."
Many Cuts Advocated.
Tes, I am for economy all down the
line" said Walter A. DimicK, eenmui
from Clackamas County. "I've been
that way all the time. I have in my
nnt hllla which I shall introduce
abolishing the immigration bureau, the
state accountant Qepartment,
Supervisors, Naval Militia, Sealer of
Weights and Measures and the repeal
of the law providing for the taking of
a census every 10 years. I favor also
consolidation, of several departments
and a reduction of several salaries."
w w Bna-mlale. Senator from Gilliam,
Sherman and Wheeler counties, sounded
the keynote of sentiment an over tne
state in declaring that the people of
his district were for a reduction of the
f-nt of irovernment. He said his con
stituents wanted taxes reduced and that
they felt they got no oenents irom cer
tain boards and commissions. In re
turn for the large taxes the farmer is
paying annually, according to the Sena
tor, he is only getting more jjuveiu-ment.
The withdrawal of many millions ot
dollars in the form of taxes from busi
ness activities tends to deplete tne tuna
which should be engaged in industrial
pursuits," continued Senator Ragsdale.
If it were not ror mese excessive
millions of dollars of farm improve
ments and extensions would he taking
place, furnishing employment to thou
sands of men now in enforced idleness."
.r C Smith. Senator from Josephine
County, who obtained the passage of
the Rogue River Fish bill, opening the
river to commercial fishing, at the last
session, declared that the people of
his district were almost a unit in the
demand for retrenchment and lower
taxes. Mr. Smith was regarded as one
of the leaders in the Senate at tne lat
session, and is a member of the com
mittee named to investigate the water
power possibilities of the Columbia
River.

A WINTER TONIC
Why is It that some people keep well
all Winter while others, less exposed to
cold and damp, suffer with colds, grip,
pleurisy, pneumonia and all the ills of
the season?
Thin blood and debility are the
causes of much sickness in Winter.
When the blood is thin and there is
oxygen starvation in the' tissues of the
body, poisons are retained that should
be eliminated and there is a lowered
resistance to disease.
Rheumatism disappears when the
blood is buit up and does not return
if the blood is kept rich.
The cfter-effects of grip are never
cured until the blood Is built up.
Dr. Williams" Pink Pills enrich the
blood and enable it to carry more
oxygen, to nourish the starved tissues
in debility, to soothe the inflamed
membranes in rheumatism, to quiet the
nerves in neuralgia and sciatica and
to expel the lingering germs after the
fever and influenza of grip have
passed. All Winter Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills should be in every nouse, reaay
for use. You can get tbem now at
the nearest drugstore.
The third edltion-of the popular little
book "Building Up the Blood" has just
been published. Write today to the Dr.
