in the Columtfla River. The measure
provides that one-half the bounty be
paid by the county opposite which, in

other Multnomah County towns. Lewis
has been working on thia plan for more
than two years. As a private citizen
he-was instrumental at the session two
years ago in paving the way for sub
mission of the "consolidation amend
ment" to the voters, and since that
amendment was passed has been active
in preparing hi pending bill. He de
clares that the people of SL Johns are
ready to merge with Portland, but some
of the other Multnomah County mem
bers are beginning- to chide Lewis
about it all.
"He wants to consolidate Portland
and SL Johns and call the whole thing
St- Johns." says Plowden Stott.
John Minto. the well-known Oregon
pioneer, visited the House this morning
and was extended the courtesies of the
floor.
Mr. Minto admits that he is interested
in legislation, but does not think he
comes into a class with the lobbyists.
-I want to see a law passed that
will make it possible to annihilate all
destructive game animals." he says.
"Oregon ought to have less game
and more sheep. These hills should be
full of sheep. I hope this Legislature
wfil do something in that direction."
Mr Minto brought some of the first
blood?d sheep into the state, and always
has taken an Interest in the sheep in
dustry. C. H. Moore, of the Pacific Telephone
Company, has been around here for the

BILLS AIM AT LOBBYISTS
PROPOSED MEASIHES RKQIIRE
REGISTRATION WITHISf 24 HOURS.
Scheobel, of Claekamus, and Huston, of
Multnomah, Provide Heavy Pen.
altlea for Violations.
,. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan.
12. (Special.) Two anti-lobbying
bills already are before the House and
others are in the process of prepara
tion. Indeed, the activities of the iod
byist are threatened with curtailment
at this session.
To Scheubel, of Clackamas, who has
the distinction of introducing 10 of the
26 measures now before the House,
goes the added distinction of being the
author of the first bill aimed at the
members of the mythical "third house,"
as the legislative lobby unofficially is
called. Huston, of Multnomah, is au
thor of the other measure.
Every person, corporation or associa
tion which employs any person to act
as counsel or agent to promote or op
pose in any manner any proposed legis
lation affecting the pecuniary inter
ests of any such individual as "dis
tinct from the interests of the whole
people of the state," must cause such
agent to register in a docket kept by
the Secretary of State for that pur
pose, according to the Scheubel bill.
It will be permissible, however, for
"legislative counsel" to appear before
committees, but registration in this
case also is required.
Within 30 days after the legislative
session ends the "legislative agents,"
which is the dignified title under which
future lobbyists are to be known, must
file a statement of their expenses.
The Huston bill is somewhat similar,
only simpler in form. It also requires
lobbyists to register within 24 hours
after arriving in Salem. Heavy penal
ties are provided for violations of either
of the proposed laws.

Hundred. It now is In the hands ot
the State Printer. As the committee
nreviouslr had supplied the various
members of both houses with drafts of
the proposed law, legislators are rainy
well Informed of its provisions.
It is certain, though, that this
measure will meet with much discus
sion in both the House and the Senate.
Dana Allen, of Salem, has the dis
tinction of having his name appear at
the head of the list of House members,
on both the alphabetical rollcall und
on the enumeration' by districts. Marion
County is in the First District and
comes first on the list.
When Miss Towne. "the only woman
member," took her seat this morning a
big bouquet of carnations was on her
desk-. No card was attached, but sig
nificant glances from members of the
Multnomah delegation furnished a clew.
It is apparent that the newspaper
men in the House are starting off with
a lot of friends. At least two resolu
tions granting them the courtesies of
the floor were introduced this morn
ing one by-Olson, of Multnomah, and
the other by Ritner. of Umatilla. Fully
a score of members offered to make
the motion for their adoption.
"Yes. we are starting out with a' lot
of friends." says George Prichard. of
the Salem Statesman! "but how are we
going to end?"

C0MPAN!ESSEEK RELIEF
Senator Farrell Asks Deposits for
Insurance Houses Be Cut.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or., Jan. 12.
(Special.) For the benefit of Oregon
fire insurance companies of limited
capital Senator Farrell today presented
a bill providing that the amount of
money required to be deposited by for
eign companies to do business in this
state be reduced from $50,000 to $25,000.
Managers of Oregon companies have
complained to Mr. Farrell that other
states are enforcing the $50,000 re
quirement on Oregon companies desir
ing to do business there, with the re
suit that foreign 'business received by
them must be limited because of lack
of capital.
The present law provides that foreign
companies to do business in this state
must have a capital paid up- of at least
J200.000 and deposit $00,000 or securi
ties to that value with the State Insur
ance Commissioner.
SALEM YOUTH LOSES LEG
Harold White Found Dazed on
Tracks Long After Train Passes.
SALEM. Or., Jan. 12. (Special.)
Harold White, an 18-year-old lad of
this city, is minus his right leg as the
result of an accident he fails to recall.
As far as can be ascertained, the boy
boarded an 8 o'clock freight train for
Woodburn to attend a roller skating
party.
As the train neared that city, it is
thought, the boy in some manner fell
between the wheels. Two hours later
he was found on the track in a dazed
condition.

Ex-Governor T. T. Geer and C. B.

state committee, were among the vis
itors at this morning's session and re
mained for the inauguration in the aft
ernoon. -
Representative Barrow, of Coquille,
got the floor for a while this morning
on a point of "local privilege."
"If this Legislature passes a prohi

Here is a paradox: The State of Ore
gon has a law prohibiting the use of
the public drinking cups, yet under the
ice water tank in the House are two
glasses that must do duty for the 60
members, their clerks and visitors, all
alike. What a blow to the sanitation
sharks!
C. Schuebel, Representative in the
Legislature from Clackamas County,
says he brought a. big pruning knife
with him to Salem. Mr. Schuebel is
City Attorney of Oregon City, and re
cently essayed the unique rale pf in
sisting that the City Council cut his
salary in two. To some extent he was
disappointed, for his stipend was cut
only one-third, the Council declaring
that if Mr. Schuebel were not able to
look after his own interests it devolved
upon it to assume a quasi-guardianship.
Guy T. Hunt, Representative- in the
Legislature from Clackamas County,
was treated by a dentist just before
coming to Salem. He had a badly ul
cerated molar, but announced today
that he was in good condition again.
'I have the advantage of some of the
other Representatives," said Mr. Hunt
laughingly. "I was relieved of my cor
ruption before I came here."

But there is a' determined movement
to overrule the' rules committee ana

resentatives Littlefield and Huston, of
Multnomah, and Hare, or wasninBi""
It has abundant support from mem
KAea nf ftthpT districts as well.
It received additional impetus when
Governor Withycombe, in his message
this afternoon, called attention to mo,

sions of the legislature, auu um.ii
.i,o nnnmv so far us the present
Legislature is concerned, can well be-e-in
"at home."
Although the Senate defeated a sim
ilar tlan today, the House members
wh inist .that the cost of clerical
help Is nothing sliort of a scandal are
determined to hearken to the Gover
nor's suggestion and to provide a cler
ical bureau. Under tins proposeu piau
a committee of house members would
employ a corps of stenographers and
clerks, none of whom should be at the
exclusive call of any one member, but
do duty for all members alike.
"We're going to report in favor of
the old system merely for the purpose
of bringing it before the House," says
Jeffries, of Clatsop, a member of the
rules committee. "We do not recom
mend its adoption and expect a lively
debate or it."
The recommendation for a pooling of
clerical help was made by Speaker Sell
ing last week before the Legislature
convened.
Separation ef Items Favored.
A number of other important changes
adopted. One provides that dissimilar
Items shall not be carried in the same
aonronriation bill.
- Another is that all bills must be on
the desks of members in printed form
at least three days berore coming up
for final passage ana that an appro
priation bills must be reported out by
the ways and means committee or other
committees that may handle them be
fore the 20th day or tne session ex
cepting with the consent of a majority
of the members.
Another proposal of the rules com
mittee is to require all bills amended
in committee to be on the desks of
members in amended form before com
ing up for final passage. Likewise
Senate bills must be put into the bill
books of members before coming up for
final action.
Committees May Be Increased.
Any bill which amends an existing
law of the state must have the new
matter printed in Italics, and bills that
repeal existing statutes or sections of
statutes must have the part to be
stricken out printed in brackets, ac
cording to the committee's recommen
dation. All committee meetings, it Is
suggested, shall be public.
It is proposed, moreover, to increase
the membership of the committee on
judiciary and revision of laws from five
to seven members,, and the committee

"Does the resolution only invite Sa
lem ministers to' do our praying?"
asked Senator Garland, one of the two
Demoeratic Senators, anxiously. "That
is the way it reads," replied President
Thompson.
"Well, I don't know about that,
mused Senator Garland. "I have a
preacher who might come to see me
.nd who I might want to pray for us.
I don't see why the Salem ministers
should have a monopoly on this t,hing."
Senator Butler, of The Dalles, also
thought the resolution unfair. He sug
gested that since he and Senator Oar
land left home their pastors probably
had little to do and might want to
come to Salem.
With the. Senate's permission . the
phraseology' of the resolution was
changed so as to include all ministers,
with no geographical restriction.
