T1TE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 1C, 1915. 7 RECOUNT FOB SEAT OF MOOSE PLANNED Committee at Olympia Votes io Investigate Right of T. N. Swale to Place. were In force in 21 states, and had been of great benefit not only to minority stockholders, bat to the corporations as well. The bill provides a cumulative system- of voting shares, giving the minority authority to vote all of its shares for one man. "The measure can do' no damage to corporations," said Mr. Langguth, "and will do a lot of good in restoring confi dence. It would give the minority chance to see what was going on, but it could do no more when it comes to actual control than at present. NEW LIQUOR BILL DUE J)rys Propose to 3!cct Attack by Of fering Amendment to Cat Out . All DrinkAppellate Courts Are "Wanted. OLYMPIA- TVash.. Jan. 15. (Special.) Without a dissenting vote the House committee on privileges and elections today decided to recommend & recount of ballots in the Forty-eighth District, Snohomish County, in which Thomas N. Swale. Progressive, was declared elected Representative over James M. Ilogan, Republican, by the margin of two votes. Maek F. Gose, who retired Tuesday as Justice of the State Supreme Court, appeared before the committee in be half of Hogan, who contended that mistakes had been riade in counting split tickets. Swale, opposing a re count, said that ballot boxes had not been safeguarded properly after the election, intimating that changes mignt Jiave been made. All Parties to Be ea Committee. The privileges and elections com mittee recommended that the recount be made by a special committee of seven. Speaker Connor announced he would appoint representatives of all political parties on this committee. If Hogan is successful in his contest it wUl reduce the Progressive repre sentation in the House to six members and increase the Republican strength to 78. Incidentally the seating of Hogan will add a vote to the wet strength of the House, Swale being listed as "dry." The liquor issue now is being in jected into much of the business of the Legislature- - That still another liquor bill intended as a virtual repeal of the prohibition law Willi be introduced within the next few days is probable. Prohibition advocates are proposing a counter move, which is the submis sion of a constitutional amendment prohibiting the liquor traffic in any form to be submitted at the general election of November, 1918. Repetition of FlKht Feared. If the dry forces can muster the nec essary two-thirds vote to Bubmlt such an amendment they also will have strength enough to prevent any anti prohibltlon bills from being submitted at a special election in advance of this date, and by having a prohibition clause voted into the constitution they believe they can prevent a biennial recurrence of the liquor question at each succeed ing general election. The two houses of the Legislature stayed in session today Just long enough to Introduce a few bills and adjourned till Monday. Governor Lister and prac tically all Western Washington legis lators then took the train for Tacoma or Seattle, leaving the Capitol practi cally deserted for East Side members. Appellate C'onrta Proposed. Senator Sharpsteln, of Walla Walla County, chairman of the Senate judici ary committee, today announced prep- aration of a measure designed to light en the labor of the Supreme Court by the creation of two appellate courts to hear criminal appeals not involving constitutional questions and to be final arbiters of civil cases when the amount at Issue does not exceed $1000. The entire Judiciary committee may back the measure as a committee bill. A constitutional amendment will be required and action by the next Legls lature then would be necessary to make the amendment effective. Although the Supreme Court has been hearing more cases each term than ever before, dur ing the past year the court has been about 100 cases behind its docket. Elimination of personal injury suits on account or adoption of the work men's compensation act has reduced the burden of appeals of this nature, but malpractice cases and cases following In various ways the advent of the auto mobile have added new fields of labor. SCHOOL HEADS MAY GET RISE Bill Offered at Olympia to Increase Pay of Superintendents. OLYMPIA, Wash.. Jan. IS. (Spe cial.) Increases In the salat-y of every County Superintendent of Schools in the state are provided in a bill drafted by Mrs. Josephine Preston, State Su perintendent of Instruction. The measure probably will be introduced next week by the committees on educa tion. The proposed law also would extend the term of county superintendents to four years. It would increase salaries of King. Spokane and Pierce County superintendents from $2000 to $2400. Snohomish. Whatcom. Yakima, Whit man and Chehalis County superintend ents would receive $2200 each. All counties now paring from $1100 to $1200, Including Clarke, would be. in creased to $1800 or $2000, and all coun ties paying $1000 or less would be in creased to $1500. BRIDGE MEASURE INTRODUCED Senator French, or Clarke County, Wants Provision for Trolleys. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Jan. 15. (Spe cial.) Senator French, of Clarke Coun ty, has prepared for introduction a bill to allow the granting of a franchise to streetcar lines to operate over the Washington portion of the interstate rortlana-Vancouver bridge. A sepa rate bill will be introduced by Senator French to provide tolls for the use of the bridge. A second bill, introduced at the re quest of Clarke County farmers, pro vides for submission of a constitutional amendment changing the provisions re garding adoption of township govern ment by a county. At present the re quirement is for a majority of all votes cast at the election, while the amend ment proposed would require merely a majority of the votes cast on the question. CORPORATION- MEASURE URGED Bill Providing tor Minority Repre sentation on Boards Fought. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 15. (Special.) Senator Day, of Multno mah County, offered strenuous opposi tion today to a bill introduced by Sena tor Langguth, which provides for mi nority representation on boards of di rectors of corporations. The measure was favorably reported by the judiciary committee, and both Its author and Senator Moeer. chairman of the com mittee, insisted that it be passed. It waa recommitted, however, with in structions that the committee determine whether its provisions are mandatory or optional. Mr. LanfKutb. aaid similar measures BLIND MEMBER ASKS GUIDE Representative Masterson Insists Clerk Must Be Democrat. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Jan. 15. (Special.) Reoresentative C. W. Masterson, of Walla Walla, the blind member of the lower house, is having trouble to od tain a special clerk to lead him to and from the Capitol. The House patronage committee to day sent a young man to Mr. Masterson to act as clerk. "What is your politics?"- he was asked. The clerk admitted he was a ReDublican. "You won't do." said the blind Legis lator. "My clerk wirl have to take me to Democratic caucuses and read my correspondence, and I want a Demo crat." Mr. Masterson suggested successively to the House organization that they employ either his brutherE. C. Master son, or his nephew. "We can't concede his right to insist that some member of his family be placed on the payroll,'" said Speaker Conner tonight. "We have two or three committee clerks whose Democracy is unquestioned and we will assign one of them to Mr. Masterson." WATER BILL FIRST TO PASS Measure Allowing Oregon City and AVest Linn to Act Is Rushed. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Jan. 16, (Special.) A bill which will enable Oregon City and West Linn to obtain a pure water supply was tne nrsr. meas ure nassed at this session. It was Introduced by Representative chuebel In the House the second day of the ses sion, was rushed through there and turned over to Senator Dlmick, who got quick committee action, obtained a suspension of the rules and had it put through the Senate toaay. .11 carries an emergency clause. The bill, which gives cities and towns the right to combine to obtain water supplies and erect plants was necessary in order that the cities could vote on a proposed bond issue January 20.

To lead a tubercular cow to the steps of the State Capitol for slaughter to demonstrate the danger faced by con sumers of milk from diseased dairy herds is the proposal advanced by Agricultural Commissioner Graves as an argument for his new livestock law. Tlae proposed law requires a "T" brand on all reactors to the tuberculin test and prohibits the sale of milk from such cows, except under restric tions.

SALARY CUT IS ADVOCATED Bill to Be - Introduced Today Also Provides for Turning All Li Into State Treasury and Many Favor Plan. . censes STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Jan.' 15. (Special.) Instead of shifting the sea sons for various kinds of game animals in response to the numerous and vary ing requests of the sportsmen the Leg. islature. It seems, is preparing to open the season on the sportsmen. opecial measures aimed especially at some of the privileges that they now enjoy are either pending or in the process of preparation. This is in addition to the body blow that was delivered when Speaker Sell ing appointed as chairman of the game commission Representative Jones, of Joseph, who is committed to a policy of taking the expenditure of the fish and game receipts out of the hands of the Fish and Game Commission and placing them in the office of the State Treasurer. Representative SchuebeL of Oregon City, is ready to Introduce a bill to morrow morning for the abolition of the whole game commission ' as at present constituted and for the crea tion of a new- commission composed of the Governor, the Master Fish Warden and the Game Warden. This provides that - the two wardens are to be ap pointed directly by the Governor. In cidentally their salaries are to he re duced from $3100 respectively to $1800. The most interesting provision of the measure, . however, is that "all moneys received on account of hunters' and anglers' licenses, Individual fishing licenses', licenses for fishing appliances. licenses for persons engaged in the business of canning fish and licenses of persons other than canners engaged In the business of buying, selling pack ing, etc., which heretofore have been paid into the game protection fund and hatchery funds shall be paid to the State Treasurer and by him placed to the credit of the general fund. This is the plan" to which Chairman Jones, of the Game, Commission, stands committed and which Speaker Selling and many other members of the House are favoring. The present law permits tne Jisn and Game Commission, which consists of five members appointed by the Gov ernor, to expend the receipts from hunters' and anglers' licenses and from other sources connected with the fish ing industry. Sportsmen are seriously protesting against the proposed changes In this law. A strong lobby is looked for. R. E. Clanton. master fish warden, who is understood to favor the present system, already is on the ground. SENATE CUTTING EXPENSE (Continued From FlrBt Page.) mission. The Commissioners ana tne Immigration Agent receive no pay. Oregon Almanac Reliable. jmonc the activities of the bureau has been the publication of the Ore gon Almanac. It is a compendium of Information designed for the use of r,rr..n.pti land settlers or farm buy ers. It contains no superlatives or ad jectives. It is accurate and reliable. More than zuu.uuu copies nave ueeu Mm to persons requesting them and more than 1,000,000 requests for copies have heen refused. Of a new edition now on the press 250,000 copies will be is sued. The pamphlets in foreign languages that have been printed have been com piled largely from the Oregon Almanac. These publications have induced numer ous farmers to come from Europe di rect to Oregon, where they have pur chased or taken, up farm lands. I A large part of the German and Scandinavian pamphlets are distributed in America. The foreigner who set- tles In the city quickly picks up Eng lish and learns to read it. But there are countless foreign communities in the rural districts where, because of a natural clannishness. the farmers do not learn to read English. The Ger man and Scandinavian churches and their societies send out many pam phlets to such people, and it is known that the publications have produced the desired result of bringing farmers to Oregon. Settlers for Land Wanted. The Commission has maintained a policy of advising all city workers to remain away from Oregon. Its effort has been to secure settlers on the land. In conjunction with this movement a farm registration bureau has been or ganized. Through the medium of agents and representatives of the commercial clubs throughout the state the real "snaps" in farm lands have been listed and the lists supplied to prospective buyers. Purchasers also have been put in touch with the commercial organiza tions and thus directed to suitable lo cations. One striking effect of this farm registration has been a reduction in the exorbitant prices at which farm lands have been held in many localities. But the commission has foreseen the repeal of its appropriation as a possible result ot an economy' pro gramme. The money has been con served until the last, that the Almanac might be as near up to date as possible during the entire period of its distri bution. The publications now being issued will last for a considerable length of time as a means of answer ing bona fide inquiries about farming and industrial opportunities in Oregon. Because of conditions existing in this country and in Europe the enterprise is one which retrenchment need not necessarily avoid, but it has been a good thing and it will be a good thing to re establish when conditions change back to normal. Senate's Slate Clean. The adjournment of the Senate this i afternoon while the House remains in session may be traced back to the j dllatoriness of the latter body. That J flood of oratory the other day over the employment of a few clerks enabled the Senate to dispose of all the business the House has since been able to send over, as well as dispose of its own. It adjourned with a clean slate. It Is not necessarily true that the Senate would not have adjourned if the House had been more diligent. Members with private interests suffering are hard to hold at the week-end. isut the inac tivity of the House certainly provided the Senate with a good excuse for quitting business on Friday. As I have once before stated, useless orafory costs the state much more than useless leg islative clerks. In the House the refusal to adjourn before tomorrow was a partial indica tion of the real strength of an insur gency that has been forming.' Several members who were disappointed over committee assignments have estab lished a more or less compact organi zation. It embraces some of the mem bers from both elements in the Speak ership contest. There is some Intimation that this organization may take the House af fairs into its own hands and become a squashing, heartless, irrepressiDie steam roller. But Speaker Selling views the situation pleasantly and philosophically. "Roll on. thou great and wild steam roller, roll." is. his at titude expressed in poetic phraseology. EXPENDITURE PROBE IS DUE Senate Ways and Means Committee Seeks More Power to Act. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 15. (Special.) The ways and means committee of the Senate will make a thorough probe of the expenditures of all state departments ana institutions. Monev expended by officials and em ployes in travel, for expert opinions and for special legal' advice will be carefully looked into, with the object of providing a plan for curtailing these expenditures. Senator Day, chairman or tne com mittee, introduced a resolution today which provides that the committee be empowered to subpena state officials and emp.oyes and that they produce their books and records, as may be necessary for the purpose of -advising the committee "of the expenditures that have been made during the past four years in the various state depart ments and offices and how. in what manner and for what purpose the same has been expended and disbursed." Two Bills Postponed. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 16. (Special.) Senate bill 18, provid ing for the repeal of the act creating the Board of Examiners of Accountants, was indefinitely postponed in the Sen. ate today. Senate bill No. L providing: that persons more than 21 years of age in remote parts of counties be empow ered to serve court summonses, also was Indefinitely postponed.

The Senate today de cided to keep Itself informed. A reso lution providing that each member be furnished with five dally papers was adopted by a unanimous vote. To Claude McColloch. ex-Senator from Baker County, the courtesy of the Sen ate was extended today. Sir. McColloch was Governor West's lieutenant on the nnr of the Senate at the lsu session.

Resolutions providing for the appointment of the committee have been adopted. . Jackson County members of both houses are jubilant because the chair manship of the committee on roads and highways in either House has gone to a member of their delegation. Senator Von der Hellen is chairman of the Sen ate committee and Representative Vaw ter of the House committee. The Jacksonians think this coinci dence is particularly appropriate, inas much as Jackson County was the first county to build a substantial unit of paved road as a part of the Pacific Highway. Representatives Michelbook and Olds, of Yamhill County, are making them selves solid with the newspaper colony by distributing parcels of walnuts among them. The Hood River repre sentatives have sent in some red apples, so all that now remains necessary is a baked salmon from Clatsop, a box of pears from Jackson and something or other peculiar to every locality repre sented in the Legislature. Senator Kellaher. the sometimes genial, sometimes otherwise, lawmaker froravPortland, is living up to bis "show me" policy. A bill providing for chang ing terms of the Circuit Court in the Twelfth Judicial District was up for final passage today. Every Senator had voted for the measure when Mr. Kella her's name was called. "Sometimes in changing these court terms the bills raise the judge's salary," he said. "Does this bill do that?" "Jfo,". replied Sena tor Smith, of Coos and Curry counties, who introduced the measure. "I vote aye." replied the Portland man, appar ently greatly relieved. Among the many patriots in the Sen ate not one can trace his ancestry back to the Stirling days of '76 in as few generations as Senator Smith, of Coos and Curry- His grandfather, Isaac Smith, of Virginia, was a soldier under General "Washington. "How old are you, anyway?" asked a Senator, after hearing the story of Smith's ancestry. "It doesn't make any difference how old I am," was the reply, "but for your in formation I will say thaf my grand father was 60 years old when my father was born." Senator Smith's father, Isaac Smith, was a member of the Ore gon Legislature during territorial days, and served one term after Oregon was made a state. He was a resident of Polk County. W.- "W. McNichel, of McMlnnvllle, has been appointed chief clerk of the enrolled bills committee In tne House, of which P. P. Olds, of Lafayette, is the chairman. The committee purposes to keep the number of clerks and stenographers on this committee at a minimum this year. J. D. Zurcher, of Portland, has been mnHo chief clerk of the committee on engrossed bills. Benton Bowman, of Hillsboro, Is chairman of this commit tee and. with his colleagues, will try to exercise economy, he says, by hiring only the clerical assistance actually necessary. M. L. Opdyke, of Grants Pass, has been named chief clerk of the enrolled bills committee in the Senate. Senator Smith, of Grants Pass, is chairman of this committee. The Senate committees, like those In the House, are preclalm lng economy plans. - Dana Allen, of Salem, and James T. Jeffries, of Astoria, both members of the House, have Just discovered that they were born on the same day in the same year that they are twins in fact. Their common birthday was August 15, 1885. making them 29 years of age. They are probably the young est members of the House except Miss Towne. . Thomas McCusker, of Portland, vis ited the House yesterday afternoon. He was in Salem arguing a case before the Supreme Court. "Where are those badges?" he asked as soon as be got inside the railing. "What badges?" asked D. C. Lewis. -Why, I understand that they are going to tag all lobbyists. I am a lobbyist and I want to be tagged, al though I don't know yet what I am going- to lobby for." Ex-Governor Z. F. Moody dropped into the House chamber yesterday afternoon and had a pleasant visit with some of his friends among the mem bers. He held a long consultation at Miss Towne's desk. "Salem cocktails" is what "Billy" McAdams, the mailing clerk, calls the Bull . Run water now being served daily in both Houses. "It's not what It used to be," sighs "Billy" In reflecting on the days be fore Salem went "dry." This is his third term as mailing clerk. . - Joe Keller, ex-police captain of Portland, was among the visitors at Thursday morning's session of the House. . Piqued by the caustic Comment of the eastern wing of the House, Joe H inkle, of Umatilla, has bought him self a brand new briar smokestack, which is less offensive than that black relic he had the first few days of the session. Vernon Forbes, of Crook, ex cuses his pipe-smoking proclivities on the grounds of economy. He says it is cheaper than cigars. m m E. Versteeg, the well-known Demo cratic statesman of Portland, has been here for a few days "watching the wheels go around." He also was in attendance the other day at the inauguration of his long time friend, the new Governor. a A. Shumway, of Umatilla County, and J. A. Smith, of Gilliam County, mem bers of the legislative committee of the State Farmers' Union, are in Salem visiting the legislators. They prob ably will be here throughout most of the session. They declare they have no special bills up their proverbial sleeves, but that they merely want to help in the promised campaign of gen era! economy. Senator Kellaher never overlooks an opportunity to press the economy idea home. The first motion to adjourn to day was until 10 o'clock next Monday. "But the Portland train does not ar rive In Salem until after that time," said someone. "Take the 6:45 train and get here at 9 o'clock." was Kella hers retort. It was finally decided to adjourn until 10:30 o clock Monday. In his argument favoring a bill which will enable Oregon City to ob tain pure water from the south fork of the Clackamas River, Senator Gar land said: "It will enable Oregon City to have as good water as Portland." When it came time to vote on the lrfeas ure Senator Farrell said he would favor It "If Senator Dlmick would relieve us of the thought that it were possible for any place to have as good water as Portland," 9 0 Remember This is NOT a 4, 13 or Va Off Sale, but COST and BELOW Tf 13 'hv flftVial poTnnarison the greatest ormortunitv for econ omy ever presented the women of Portland.

MR. KELLAHER VOTES NO Estimates Are That Abolishment of These Departments Will Save State and Counties Approxi mately $70,00 0 Annually. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 15. (Special.) The Senate today began its promised retrenchment action by re pealing the measures providing for the Immigration Commission, the uniform system of accounting and the taking of a census every 10 years. It is esti mated that if the bills abolishing these departments are favorably acted upon by the House ana meet iiio of the Governor, they will save the state and counties about $70,000 a year. Action in the Senate was unanimous on all but that abolishing the accoun tancy system, and It is Deneveo. xnat Senator Kellaher. who voted against it. did so Just for a joke. The bills will be sent to the House for action at once. Senate bill No. 9, wnicn aponsnes tne immigration department, was Intro duced by Senator Dlmick. The Legis lature appropriated $50,000 for the commission the past two years and more than $71,000 was the estimate for the next two years. Senator Dlmick also introduced Sen ate bill No. 6. which puts an end to the taking of a census every 10 years. Sec retary of State Olcott recently called attention to the uselessness of the cen sus, and announced that the cost to the counties was $100,000 for each census. This is the year for doing the work and an emergency clause was attached to the bill. An appropriation of $20,000 was made for the uniform accountancy depart ments at the last session and the work of auditing the county books, it is esti mated, has cost the counties about $20, 000. If the bill becomes a law the counties will revert to the old system of having the books experted under county contract. Senator Bishop, who introduced the measure, said he be lieved in the uniform system of ac counting, but opposed the manner in which the bill had been administered. He said the expert accountants had furnished a statement to Marion Coun ty of $1530 for doing the work, whereas heretofore it had been done for one third that amount. A bill introduced by Senator Smith, of Coos and Curry counties and which was passed, changes the' terms of the Circuit Court in Coos County to the fol lowing schedule: To meet the fourth Monday in February, first Monday in June and second Monday -in October, all to be jury terms. Circuit Court of Curry County to meet first Monday In MaV and first Monday in September, with jifry in May term as now on order of court. House AVItliout Bill Clerk. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 15. more economy In one particular than Its neighbor the Senate. It lias de cided that It can get along without a bill clerk for a while longer. Repre sentative Hurlburt toaay asked to withdraw his resolution providing for such an office. In previous years the House has had a clerk to handle the printed hills for the members and to mail coplca out to residents of the state requesting- them. It became apparent that the Houae would not favor the resolution and Mr. Hurlburt asked permission to with draw It. However, It Is noasible that auch a clerk will be provided later In the session. Meanwhile the aemeant-at-arms probably will be required to look after the bills. TAX BILLS SHOW IX SENATE Smith of Coos and Curry Counties Introduces Two Measures. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or, Jan. 13.
