NEW GAME LAWS URGED MR. GILL OFFERS BILL TO CIT THE (ll'KV SEASON FOR BEER. KIIIIdk of Female rheasaata and Bar- Hag ef Cammerrlal Fishing la Willamette Ala Adveeated. STATE CATITOt, Salem, Or., Jan. II. (Special.) To reduce the open rrason for detr from three months to two months Is the principal provision contained In a bill introduced In the House this morninR by John Gill. Rep resentative from Multnomah County. The measure would eliminate August from the open season, and also would make It possible to kill female pheas ants, which is not permitted under the present law. Both proposals have the support of fportsnicn throughout the state, ssys Mr. Gill, although it is probable that some amendments will be offered be fore they are brought up for final vote. Mr. Gill also is the author of a bill Introduced today that would stop all commercial nailing In the Willamette Itiver between the falls at Oregon City and the Oswego bridge, a distance of six miles. Members of the Clackamas delegation arc laying their plans to oppose this measure. It is understood that many persons t Oregon City want the privilege of atchlnic fish there and selling them. Mr. Gill, on the other hand, contends that the commercial fishermen from the Columbia River reap the principal ben erts from the present law. Three or four, or half a doxen of them, he says, -ome up into the Willamette every xear and take away all the fish worth viiile. He contends that his proposed law will be of more material benefit to the people of Oregon City than the I resent law. as it will permit a man to go out wtth a hook and line and make a good day's wages every day through the Spring and Summer. His proposal to cut August off of the open season, he explains, has come from sources other thRn sportsmen. Those who are interested In protecting -he forests from linj. he says, are principally interested In it. Records show that many forest fires In August are caused by careless hunters. In September and October the Fall rains will quench tires started In that man ner. His proposal to permit the killing rf female Chln.i pheasants, he says, also Is in accordance with the wishes of sportsmen. The number of hens that may be killed would be limited to two in a bas: of five. "Past experiences." he explains, have proved that hunters kill the xirst pheasant they sec; If they are females thev throw them away for fear of being caught with them in their pos session by game wardens. If we make it permissible to kill females, the ac tual slaughter will not be ao great as under the present law.". Y IEFT TO RIGHT SKNATOR LAXGCl'TH, C. T. 31 ARTHUR. MRS. LAKGRCTH, MRS.

"It is my hope and intention," he said, "that my administration shall be both economical and constructive. Ore gon needs capital to develop Its re sources. Capital must be encouraged, not hampered. We do not want capital tiiat will override us. but we must make investments attractive and not by undue restrictions drive them away. The future of Oregon rests primarily in agricultural development. It must be given aid and encouragement. 1 shall .surround myself so far as it is possible with men who are in sympathy with my purposes. The changes that may be made in appointive offices will not be on political grounds, but in the interest of efficiency and in that of carrying out the "policies I have out lined." In the Governor's statement may be read a well-defined hint that certain appointive officers will not be per mitted to hold their positions lndefi nitely. It is probable that the Gov ernor will ,-arly begin the organization of his official family. It Is even prob able that some changes may be an nounced within a week. Some Officials Fear Future. Altogether it was not a happy day for certain office holders. Some 'face possible removal through the exercise of the Governors patronage power others as heretofore indicated, 'may possibly soon be occupying vacant seats," to use the expression I once heard an excited Senator use In de bate. The long faces seen here and there during the afternoon's proceed1 ings were the on. 7 depressing exhibits in what was otherwise a joyiul occa sion. Inauguration of the new Governor and appointment of per-ianent com mittees oth accomplished today, have cleared the way for active progress in legislation. Other issues besides econ omy now are coming to light. Legis lation concerning the fish and game fund promises to promote a lively con troversy. Selection of members for no other commutes attracted so much n- terest from persons outside the mem bership of the Legl-lature as did ap pointments to the Fish and Game Com mission. So frequent were the long distance calls for President Thompson of the Senate, concerning his seiec- tinn for this committee that there was actual Interference with the per formance of his duties. Game Compromise Suggested. Manv soortsmen violently oppose any diver nn to the general iuna oi mon eys accruing from hunting and fishing licenses. In this tney nave me sup port of Governor Wlthycombe. Still, many members are not unmindful of the fact that enforcement of the game la..-, t a direct tax upon the courts. which are supported by geneial legis lation ihlla in every county tne time expended by count employes in issu in; iiretisss and makinr reports is an other drain upon the funds accruing from taxation. The county triers, ui w-n Cnnntv recently estimated that in his office alone issuance of fish and game licenses cost 300 per annum. As a compromise it has been sug gested that a portion of the fish and r r.inrt he transferred to the fund for the propagation of commercial-food fish and that the customary appropria tion for that purpose be reduced ac cordingly. Court Change In View. a sweeninf change in the composi tion of the courts of the state is al most certain to be considered. The bill is in process of formation, but its de tails have not been definitely decided upon.. However, it promises to be one of the important measures of the ses sion. Lawyers are quite generally agreed that Oregon's court system is anti quated. Particularly does this apply to County Courts and probate procedure. At the last session there was an effort to eliminate the County Court in Mult nomah County without making the act applicable to the entire state. This lt;d to the well-remembered tangle, not yet fully unraveled as to the status of judge Cleeton and other officials through the declaration by the Supreme Court that the act was unconstitutional. It is certain that the same error will not be committed by the present Legis lature. One purpose of the bill la to abolish County Courts and provide an economical transfer of their judicial work. Lincoln Alumni to Meet. There will be a meeting of the Lincoln High School Alumni in the Cen tral Library building tonight at 8 o'clock. The meeting. It is said, will consider some important matters. CLERK PLAN FAILS Senate Defeats Dimick Plea for Bids for Work. EACH TO HIRE OWN HELP Clackamas - Member Says He Has Offer to Save State 815,000, but Others Think Scheme Not Tcasible Vote 21 to 7. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Jan. 12. rsrjecinl. Following the first ani mated debate of the session, the Senate todav defeated by a vote of to 7 the concurrent resolution offered by Senator Dimick. of Clackamas Coun ty, which provided that all clerical and stenographic work of the two houses. excepting that of the elective onicers, be supplied by contract system. The committee on resolutions re ported adversely upon the resolution and recommended for adoption a reso lution by Senator Moser, providing that each member of the Senate be author ized to employ a clerk or a stenog rapher. The Moser resolution was adopted by the Senate. Senator Bingham, chairman of the committee on resolutions, moved an indefiinite postponement of the Dimick resolution. The author declared that its adoption would save the taxpayers $15,000 or more. He said the clerical and stenographic work in the Senate at the last session cost (14.S27.95. and in the House $19,408, making a total of almost $34,000. Court Reporter Makes Price. "To show that this is not all bun combe," said Senator Dimick, "Charles E. Runyon, official stenographer for the Fifth Judicial District, proposes to furnish this help for the Senate for $6500 and for. the House for $10,000 or $11,000. He will give an indemnity bond of 25 per cent of his bid and is willing, if we are not satisfied with the work furnished, to relinquish the contract at any time. He says he will give preference to persons suggesiea by members of the Senate and House in employing stenographers. The cost would be $15,000 or $16,000. as against more than $33,000 last session. We were elected upon platforms pledging us to economy. We now have an opportunity to practice wnai we preach. Didnt the oovernor refer to tne same thing In his message today? Now we come in here with the usual stereo typed resolution giving each member clerk or a stenographer, unis leg islature is on trial." Delay Is Feared. Senator- Butler, of The Dalles, said he believed in economy and eliminat ing unnecessary expenses, but that the Dimick resolution was a false cry of economy. He said that it would take a week or 10 days to have competitive bids submitted and it was an oppor tunity to foist another monopoly upon the state. Senator Farrell. of Multnomah, ap proved the resolution. He said the time to start economizing was at the beginning of the session. Declaring that each senator wouia see that his cierK or stenograpner earned his money, Senator Bingham thought that inasmuch as each Senator tor was working for virtually nothing clerical help should be provided. We came here to enact laws for the people of Oregon and not for the compensation that is In it." declared Senator Moser, of ilultnomah. "We have correspondence with our homes and we. don't want a stenographer fur nished by a contractor attending to that correspondence. I am as strong for economy as anybody, but I believe we are entitled to competent help of our own choosing." Senators Ragsdale and Vinton spoke in favor of the Dimick resolution. Senator Day declared that he did not needMr. Runyon to pick a stenog rapher for him. He opposed the con tract system, and under the contract system thought girls might have to work long hours. They would be sub ject to regulation by the Labor Com missioner and State Welfare Commis sion. WITHYC0MBE IS GOVERNOR (Continued From First Page.) phrases. The great audience followed him through every word of it. The document required half an hour in the reading. The Governor was frequently $20 $25 $30 $35 Saml Rosenblatt & Co. Northwest Corner Third and Morrison interrupted with applause, once particu larly when he declared his intention of exercising less leniency toward convicts in the penitentiary, and again when he said that instead of spending money to attract more people to the state, efforts should be directed toward providing for the people already here. But the most enthusiastic reception was given his expressions in favor of economy and his appeals to the Leg islature to support him in those Ideas. Members of tjie Legislature, it was noticed, led in this applause. West Congratulates Successor. Ex-Governor West was the first to shake hands with Governor Wlthy combe when the new official had con cluded his address. He congratulated him upon his inauguration and com plimented him upon the tone of his remarks. Other state officials. Including Speaker Selling and President Thomp son, of the Senate, then crowded about For quite a few minutes the new Gov ernor held an. informal reception. Words of praise poured in upon him from every side. Were he a man susceptible to flattery he surely would have been affected by the many compli ments he heard. Accompanied by members of his fam ily and George Putnam, his secretary, the new Governor then went to his office, where he proceeded with the transaction of official business. Red Cross Honor Please. It aDnarently gave him much pleas' ure to accent the presidency of the Red Cross of Oregon, for he gave tnis appointment his first attention. It Is customary for the uovernor ui state to serve as president of the Red Cross within that state and tne ap nniniTnsni had heeii waiting for sev eral weeks pending Mr. Withycombe's inauguration. &a hn hApn the custom of past Gov ernors, he appointed his secretary, Mr. Putnam, secretary of the Red Cross.

The inaugural ceremonies gave neither house time for transaction of business this afternoon. The House convened promptly at 2 o'clock. So did the Senate. In accordance with the concurrent resolution adopted yes terday the Senate was invited to come to the House chamber. At 10 minutes after 2 o'clock, Joseph F." Singer, as sistant sergeant-at-arms, lniormeu Speaker Selling that the Senate had arrived. The Senators were given their seats. The rollcall of the two houses showed but one absentee in each House Representative Cardwell. who has not yet reported, and the Senator from Douglas County, a place which has not yet been filled. Committees were named to escort the ex-Gover.ior and the incoming Gover nor into the room. The band from the State Hospital played popular airs in the interim. Mias Tome With Ex-Governor. Senator Garland led the little group that escorted the new and old officials into the House chamber. Following him came ex-Governor Z. F. Moody, ac companied by Miss Marion a. xowne, the only woman member of the Leg islature. Ex-Governor West walked with Miss Mrs. Moody. Governor-elect Wlthycombe was escorted by Senator Langguth and Representative Olson.

Wlthycombe Family In Reunion. "Tes. this is a proud day for us," said Mrs. Withycombe, who sat beside her daughter. Miss Mabel. Three sons of Governcr and Mrs. Withycombe. Harry, Robert and Earl, also were proud witnesses of the inauguration, as was Philip Withycombe, of Yamhill, h.nikfr of the new executive. It was the first time in 12 years that the Withycombe family was united. Mr. Putnam, the new Governor's secretary, and Mrs. Putnam, also were interested witnesses. - The City of Portland was officially represented by Dr. M. B. Marcellus, City Health Officer. Dr. W. J.

Suits and Oyercoats Suits and Overcoats Suits and Overcoats Suits and' Overcoats MR. KAY 15 UPHELD Supreme Court Rules on Cus tody of School Fund. EX-GOVERNOR LOSES CASE Decision by Judge Galloway Direct ing That Securities Bo Turned Over to Clerk of State Land Board Is Keverscd. SALEM, Or., Jan. 12. 'Special.) The State Supreme Court today handed down an opinion against ex-Governor West and Secretary of State Olcott who. as members of the State Land Board, had brought mandamus proceedings to compel State Treasurer Kay to turn over the irreducible school fund to G. G. Brown, secretary of the board. The court held that the State Treasurer is I the rightful custodian of the fund, which consists of notes and mortgages representing in tne aggregate (j,sai, 758.71. The opinion, which was writ ten by Justice Bean, reversed Judge Galloway, of the Marion County Cir cuit Court. The controversy has continued since November 13. 1913, when Mr. West and the Secretary of State, as the majority of the State Land Board, directed the State Treasurer, the third member, to turn over to the clerk of tne Doara the notes and other negotiable paper In ouestion. On the refusal of the State Treasurer to comply action was brought in the Marion County Circuit Court and a preemptory writ of man damus secured. The State Treasurer appealed. Clerk's Duties Defined. In defining the duties of the clerk of the State Land Board, Justice Bean quotes from section Lord's Oregon Laws, saying in part:-l-VXhe section au thorizes him to receivereceipt for and make immediate payment to the State Treasurer of all moneys received for sale nf lands. "Section 38S6, Lord's Oregon Laws, authorizes the State Land Board to make rules and regulations for the Droper conduct of its business in con formity with the law. Therefore, the efficiency of the order passed by the Board depends upon whether or not it is In harmony with the statute or re Dusrnant thereto. "By an act passed in 1SS0, In addi tion to the other duties enumerated. the clerk of the Board of Commission ers, as they were then styled, was to 'receive, receipt for. and make Imme diate payment to the State Treasurer of all moneys or the stale lor tne sale of lands (or payable to the Board on any ot tne loans autnonzeo. uy mis act).' " Act of 1S56 Referred To. Justice Bean refers to an old act passed by the Territorial Legislature in 18S6, and which he says has never been repealed. This act gave the Su perintendent of Schools of each county the power to sell school lands, and provided that, within 10 days, he should turn over any money, notes or securi ties received from such transactions to the Territorial Treasurer. Relative to this the opinion says: "That part of the duties of the Board relating to the loaning of the school funds was performed by the Territo rial Treasurer, who was then the cus todian of the notes and securities per taining to the school fund. This is practically the only statutory signifi cation that we find relating to this important trust. "In the absence of statutory author ity therefor, the State Treasurer can not be relieved of his official respon sibility as custodian of the notes, mort gages and records described in the writ bv delivery of tne same into me cus tody or entire control of the clerk of the Board or any otner oiiicer.
