MORNING OKEGONIAN, THURSDAY, JAN UAKY 1. THE OF SENATE PROPOSED Committee on Rules to Draft Plan Calling for Recesses to Consider Bills. KELLAHER ITS CHAMPION President Thompson Would Have Daily Meetings to Keep legislat ors In Salem Majority in Favor of Pauses. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Jan. 13. (Special.) The old proposal of a di vided session bobbed up in the. Senate today and after a debate of about an hour It waa deckled to have the com mittee on resolutions draft a plan for submission to the Senate tomorrow. Senator Kellaher had presented a res. elution providing that the Senate after a. session of 10 days, adjourn for 20 days, that the committee could have pienty of time lor their work. It also stipulated that no member be allowed to Introduce more than five bills. committee on resolutions reported un favorably upon It. -Before this resolution of mine goes to the hay." said the Portland Senator, "I want la say my resolution is a step in the right direction. The proposed recess will give the people a chance to come before the committees and dis cuss the proposed legislation. Reports will be received from the committees at the end of 30 days, action can be taken at once and the Legislature will be ready to adjourn." Kellaher Oare Against riaa. I. S. Smith, of Coos, caused a gen eral laugh when he announced that the records show that Senator Kellaher voted against the plan for a divided session when it was before the Senate In 1 1 3. "None so blind as those who won't see," retorted the Portland man. "If 1 was wrong then I am perfectly willing to acknowledge It. I don't mind get ting right." Kellaher asked Mr. Smith how he voted on a prosposal In 1913 to draft an amendment abolishing the State Sen ate, and there was more merriment. Butler said the trend of progressive legislation was for a divided session and that he favored the Kellaher reso lution. He thought Its adoption would be a harbinger of a constitutional amendment, declaring the people were not Insisting so much upon economy as they were upon reform and the adop tion of the right systems. Moser favored the principle of a di vided session, but thought It inexpe dient to provide It at this time, saying it should be dons by amendment. Oally Meeting Advarated. Kellaher said a suggestion of Presi dent Thompson that the recess be taken at the end of the fifth day of the session instead of the tenth, and that the vacation be shorter, suited him. What he was after was some thing In the line of obtaining better results. Vinton said he opposed the plan in any form. Strayer said be would place a limit upon the number of bills Introduced, but that it would not be fair to adopt the policy at this session. Many Senators had bills of a purely local nature which had been an proved by their constituents and which they expected would be passed now. President Thompson ssld the only practical way was to convene the Sen ate dally and take a recess at once for a certain period. In this way he said the Senators could be kept in Salem during the recess: otherwise they would go home or to Portland. He op posed the plan to limit the number of bills each Senator could introduce, de claring that It was not fair now. for many members had numerous local measures which were pressing. A majority of the Senators spoke In favor of a recess so the committees could work on the measures, and the Indications are that one will be agreed upon under the plan of meeting and taking a recess every day for at least a week or ten days. FETITIOX PKDDI.KRS TO LOSE Bill Provides Straight Filing Fee for All Candidates. STATE CAPITOU Salem. Or.. Jan. 13. tSpclal.) Petition peddlers prepare to defend yourselves! The Legislature Is after your scalps. Representative Olson, of Portland, has Introduced a bill in the house that will drive you completely out of busi ness. Whenever a man or a woman wants to become a candidate for office, under operation of the proposed Olson law, all Ihst will be necessary will be to file declaration of such intention with the '.nnti rierk if It be a county office or with the Secretary of State if it be a district, state or a Federal office. It will be necessary, also, to pay a small fee when the declaration is filed, the fee varying with the importance and the compensation attached to the of fice. ... . -H won't cost a prospective candidate any more under operations of the law that I propose than It does now under the old petition system." says Mr. Ol son. A candidate always has to pay the petition peddlers and it won't cost any more to pay a flat fee than to pay them, and the state or the counties will aet some good from the money. -I can't see how anyone can object to this bill that is. anyone excepting the petition peddlers."

Death in fig ures was paraded today before mem bers of the arbitration board, which is hearing testimony bearing on the demands of Western locomotive en gineers and firemen for higher wages. Testimony bore almost exclusively on the death rate of the enginemen. as compared with other workers. The principal witness was Dr. Henry J. Harris, a statistician of the Library of Congress at Washington, and intro duced by Warren S. Stone, of the engi neers, as one of the world's leading authorities on the subject. Dr. Harris presented a long table, compiled on data supplied by the rec ords of the medico-actuarial investi gation, in commenting on which he said: "According to the table, the occupa tions conspicuous for their high death rate are. first, the miners and workers in stone and clay; second, the locomo tive firemen: third, structural iron workers, and, fourth, the locomotive engineers."

Representative) Stewart, of COMMITTEES MAY BE NAMED TODAY Speaker Selling Works Until Midnight on Assignment of House Members. COBB MAY GET HIGH POST Multnomah to Be Fairly Represented in Chairmanships Dr. Smith May Head Banting Body. Littlefield Dry Leader. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or... Jan. 13. (Special.) Speaker Selling worked on his committee lists until midnight in the hope of having them complete for announcement at the opening ses sion of the House tomorrow morning. The Speaker worked studiously and almost continuously on his committee ships and has endeavored to adjust his appointments to suit the particular talents and so far as possible the personal wishes of the individual mem bers. Although he made no single promise before his election as Speaker he has consulted with nearly every member of the House since the election.' In drafting his lists he has taken into careful consideration the geographical as well as the personal conditions sur rounding the members of the House. Cobb, of Multnomah, Mentioned. Multnomah County, it. is understood, will receive no more than its share of the important chairmanships. It is probable that the chairmanship of the most important committee of all ways and means will go to Wesley O. Jones, the member from Klamath. However, Cobb of Multnomah, still is being con sidered for this place, it is said. At any rate, it is expected that Cobb and Jones will be members, and that one of them will be the chairman. Wagner, of Jackson, and Dr. Smith, of Portland, also are regarded aa possibilities. It is predicted among the attorneys of the House that Conrad P. Olson, of Multnomah, will be chairman of the Judiciary committee. Other members probably -will be Scheubel, of Clacka mas; Hare, of Washington; Cardwell. of Douglas; Stott, of Multnomah: Forbes, of Crook, and Handley. of Tlilamook. Handley also is looked upon as the probable appointee to the chairman ship of the fisheries committee. An derson, of Astoria, and Gill, of Multno mah, also are understood to be slated for places on this committee. Jones Likely Chairman. Jones of Union may be chairman of the game committee, with Bitner of Umatilla, and Gill of Multnomah, as two of the additional members. Huston of Multnomah is likely to draw the chairmanship of the revision of laws committee, with Bowman of Washington. Littlefield of Multnomah. llen of Marlon, Blanchard of Joseph ine and Thomas Brown of Marion as members. .... It is reasonably certain that Little field will be chairman of the committee on alcoholic liquor, which will handle the pending prohibition bill. Dr. An derson, of Wasco, who Introduced that bill, and Lafferty of Benton, it is be lieved, also will be members. Dr Smith, of Portland, according to rumors tonight, will be chairman of the banking committee, btanfield, ol Umatilla, also may be a member. For the first time in the history of the Legislature a man other than a "regular" physician may be chairman of the committee on medicine, den tistry and pharmacy. This will be true If Dr. Anderson, of Wasco, who is an osteopathic physician, is appointed, in accordance with rumors tonight. MUs Towne Remembered. - Miss Towne is expected to draw a few good places, including the com- OF SESSION Wheeler, is opposed to the practice of allowing each member to buy five daily papers at the expense of the state. He recorded the only negative vote on the Olson resolution to that effect. "If the members need daily papers, let them pay for them," he says. "I'm willing to pay for mine." C C. Colt and C. C. Chapman were among the prominent Portland resi dents here yesterday. Mr. Colt wanted to witness the inauguration of his friend. Dr. Withycombe. Mr. Chapman was here for the same purpose and to see the legislative wheels go around.

The semi-annual report of the Eugene water board, msrkmg the close of three vears' experiment with munici pal electrical and water utilities, showed actual profits of $15,187 in six months on the electrical business, or more than 100 per cent above the total costs of operation and interest on bonds. The report showed profits of 18431 In six months' operation of the water plant, or more than B0 per cent of the total cost of operation. Of the total 154.638 revenues during the half year, the water and light board paid but $31,351 for operation and expenses. And of the total sur plus of $23,351 it expended $9972 for improvements, leaving a net surplus of $13,547. ORATORY EATS UP MONEY (Continued From First Pss ) there is strone prospect that it will be adopted tomorrow. The principal variation is that, while the Governor su crested that an investigation com mittee be appointed to report two years hence on further consolidations after certain specific ones had been accom plished, the Day resolution provides for an investigating committee to report to the present Legislature. Recess Plan Suggested. It is not beyond the range of possi bilities that the Senate will adopt a working system not wholly unlike the divided session plan in use in v,amor nin This svstem will provide for a recess, in the middle of the session, of five or 10 days in length, during which committees will consider bills and hold public hearings. To prevent departure from Salem by so many members that the committee work will lag, it is suggested that the Senate convene every morning during recess, call the roll and then disperse to committee-rooms. The plan, as sub mitted calls for a limitation on the nmhpr of bills introduced, but this 1 provision is likely to fail even if the other provisions are approved. While the bills WOUia not oe lumieu an iu number, the adoption of the plan would have the effect of setting a final date for their introduction and establishing a specific period for committee con sideration and a period during which final action on measures could be had without interruption. .
