Both Houses to Find 102
Bills in Printed Form
Ready for Action.
BIG MEASURES ON FILE
Prohibition Act Shines as Foremost
Sfeasure Before Representa
tives ITotelmen's Amend
ment Slay Be Fought.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or.. Jan.
17. (Special.) Both houses of the
Legislature win resume their grind' to
morrow mornlnr at 19:15 o'clock.
Conditions now are favorable for
early action on a score or more of
bills. The Senate has 49 measures be
fore It and the House has more than
twice that number 102. All have been
passed te third reading. The week-end
vacation has enabled the printer to
catch up in his work. When the Leg
islators take their seats tomorrow
morning all bills now pending in th
House and- Senate will be awaiting
consideration In printed form.
Some of the most important measures
that the present session will have to
consider already axe on the calendars.
But this does not mean that the bill
mill will not continue to grind. It
is probable that the introduction of
proposed laws will not cease until the
end of the 20-day period.
Dry Act la Foirmoat
Most interest on the House side at
present centers on the prohibition
question. The committee on alcoholic
traffic will discuss the bill Introduced
by Representative Anderson. at nightly
meetings, beginning tomorrow. This is
the measure drafted by attorneys for
the Committee of One Hundred.
"The only objection to the bill is
that it hasn't enough teeth in it," is
the comment frequently heard among
House members.
The provision allowing residents of
the state to ship in liquor from the
outside in unlimited quantities seems
to meet with disapproval. Another sec
tion giving the Governor the right to
remove county omciais, wno iaii to
enforce the law, also may be inserted.
Governor Withycombe, in his address
last Tuesday, recommended that step.
Inasmuch as the prohibition bill
originated in the House the Senate
has not given this subject so mucn
consideration. It is certain, though.
that the upper House will find It an
equally absorbing topic oi aiscussion
when it reaches that side of the cap-
itol.
Hotel-meat Bill Cemlag.
The House now has before it. not
only the Committee of One Hundreds
bill, which is No. 1 on the House
calendar, but another measure intro
duced by Representative Lewis, of
Multnomah. A third bill now being
drafted by Ora H. Porter, of Douglas
County, probably will be lntroauceu
this week.
The bill now being drafted by the
hotelmen of the state asking the Leg
islature to submit a prohibition amend
ment to the people at a special eieo-
tion in the Fall of 1915 also will come
Into the House this week.
"I don't think this bill will get much
favorable consideration In the House,
said E. V. Littlefield, chairman of the
House committee on alcoholic liquor.
"All the House members, with whom
I have talked, are opposed to it. There
seems to be a strong sentiment against
it."
Representative Anderson, who also is
a member of the alcononc liquor com
mittee, declares that he will oppose
the hotel-men's bill, first on the ground
that it will necessitate a special elec
tion costing 1100,000, and second be
cause the people should not be asked
to vote en the prohibition question
again so eoon after their recent de
cisive verdict against the liquor traf
fics "The question before the people last
Fall was the commercial traffic in
liquor." said Dr. Anderson. "While the
proposed amendment will not allow the
saloon to reopen it will allow certain
privileged classes to sell liquor. This
certainly constitutes commercial traf
fic in liquor and is precisely what the
people of Oregon said they do not
want"
When here the other day the hotel
lobbyists declared that the Legislature
will not be required to authorize a
special election. Inasmuch as several
proposed constitutional amendments
now pending doubtless will necessitate
a special election next Fall. The hotel
men ask only that their proposal be
placed on the same ballot. Many Leg
islators are opposed to a special elec
tion on any subject.
"There is no question so important
ih.t it nn't wait until the Fall of
1H16" said Representative Sr;huebel. ,
"I am opposed to all special elections.
The proposed amendments can wait un
til the regular election. The proposed
liquor amendment certainly does not
demand an election of its own. I am
against it-"
BILL AIMS AT DtPLICATIOXS
Senator Wood Will Try Again to
Prevent Overlapping Measures.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or., Jan. 17.
(.Special.) A genuine reform in
-Mnn.o and Senate procedure, aimed to
save state money and facilitate the
work of the Legislature, is urged by
Senator Wood, of Washington county.
Senator Wood aays his plan is simple,
but that he has little hope of accom
plishing it, for it has been urged be
fore many times without success. Sen
ator Wood would have a- conference
committee appointed, to prevent dupli
cation of bills.
I'nder present conditions many bills
which are identical are introduced in
both houses and many with the same
purport are so introduced. In fact, it
is pointed out, many having the same
purpose have been introduced in the
same house. The bills are printed, and.
of course, only one making the same
reform or alleged reform is passed.
The duplicates are thrown into the
wastebasket.
"It costs money to print these bills.,
said Senator Wood, "and I think some
thing should be done to prevent the
duplication. I understand when Thomas
B. Kay was a member of the Senate
lie tried to put a stop to it, and at the
last session President Malarkey wanted
to do the same thing, but their efforts
were futile. A conference committee
could prevent the duplications or it
could be done by members conferring
with one another."
Matter Left to Delegation.
PENTLETON. Or., Jan. 17. (Special.)
The board ot managers and the road
committee of the Pendleton Commercial
Association refused to make any recom
mendation to the Umatilla County leg
islative delegation with respect to the
proposal to combine the state highway
engineer with the State Engineer. All
teemed to agree that if the Legisla
ture is to provide state aid for roads
that the appointive position of high
way engineer should be maintained.

Both Houses Pass Pure Water
Act for Oregon City.
$71,000 ASKED TO DATE
Many Economical Measures, Includ
ing Census Repeal Under Way.
Governor's-Action on Naval
Militia Is Awaited.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 17.
'(Special.) Only one measure thus far
has been passed by both houses a bill
giving Oregon City and West Linn the
right to provide jointly a pure "water
system but three others making sub
stantial money savings to the state
and counties have been passed in the
Senate and are expected to come before
the House for final action with the
least possible delay. One abolishes the
Immigration Commission, for which an
estimate of more than $71,000 for the
next two years had been made. The
bill abolishing this department was
introduced by Senator Dimick.
Another bill passed by the Senate
and also introduced by Senator Dimick,
abolishes, the taking of a state census
decennially. Secretary of State Olcott
recommended this reform, declaring
that the census to be taken this year,
if the law providing for It were not
repealed, would cost $100,009.
Accounting System Disliked.
While a majority of the Senators
believe the eounties should have a
uniform . system of bookkeeping they
voted unanimously for Senator Bishop's
measure abolishing the state account
ing department, which has been under
the supervision, of the Insurance De
partment. The cost to the counties for i
auditing their books in some instances'
was three times as much as under the
old system where County Courts em
ployed expert accountants, and it was
the opinion that the benefits derived
were not commensurate with the in
creased expense. Senator Dimick also
introduced a bill abolishing this de
partment, but Senator Bishop's bill
was reported out of the committee first-
Just what effect the telegram of Sec
retary of War Daniels to Governor
Withycombe urging the defeat of the
Dimick bill abolishing the naval militia
will have is hard to conjecture.- The
Governor was compelled to leave his
office soon after receiving the message
and has not Indicated what he will do
in regard to the request. Senator
Dimick is outspoken in his belief that
t is a useless department and that
the appropriation of $26,000 asked for
the next two years should not be mads.
Appropriation bills introduced in the
Senate thus far ask for about $71,000.
One introduced by Senator Hawley ap
propriates $50,000 for a building for
the training department of the Oregon
Normal School, walks and grounds.
Another appropriates $10,000 for a
mineral exhibit at the Panama-Pacific
Exposition and '$10,000 is asked for
the care and treatment of deformed
and crippled children, the physicians
of the medical department of the Uni
versity of Oregon to have charge with

When taken, mortally wounded, to

identity. When notified that there was
no hope for him and advised that he
had better make a clean breast of the
affair before he died. Smith told City

name was Alfred Hopkins, that he was
living at Third and Main streets, that
he came from San Francisco six days
before, that his mother's name was Ida
B. Hopkins, and that his father was

feet of Pangborn's bed. A head and
shoulders appeared in the opening and
Pangborn fired at the invader with a
.38-caliber revolver. Later a man was
seen by an automobillst helping a
companion along the street near the
shooting scene. The observer, who
thought a man was taking a drunken
friend home, told the police yesterday
that he then saw 'another automobile
drive up, and that two men drove away
in it, leaving a man, believed to have
been Smith, in a lot nearby.
The boy was found bleeding, his
groans leading searchers, who had
heard the shot, to his side.
An inquest will be held by Coroner
Dammasch at 8 o'clock tonight at the
public morgue at East Third street and
Hawthorne avenue.
A St, Johns streetcar transfer dated
Friday and punched "9:16," and a hat
bearing the initials "H. S" were the
clews which led to identification of the
slain youth by City Detectives Swennes
and Cahill. The detectives went to St.
Johns yesterday and Investigated all
whose names begin with "S." Finding
of the boy's family at 41 North Fil-
more street was the result.
10 Children In Family.
Hazen Smith was one of a family ot
10 children, the-eldest being 32 years
old. He attended high school for the
first month last Fall and then was em
ployed as a deckhand on his father's
river steamer. Jriasen was one or tne
most popular boys in the school, say
his former schoolmates. He was prom
inent in basketball and track events.
Though a boy full of vim and ginger,
Hazen never gave us much trouble."
said Charles A. Fry, principal of the
St Johns High School, last night- "An
appeal to his better judgment was all
that was ever necessary to curb his
spirit- He was studious and well-behaved,
as a rule, and It is with amaze
ment that I heard of his escapade."
Captain Smith, the boy's father, be
fore purchasing the Sacajewea. had
been a conductor in the employ of the
O.-W. R. & N. He came here from
Gray Hafbor.

UN FIGHT BILLS
Taking of Canneries From
Welfare Body Opposed.
MERGER ALSO ATTACKED
Federated Clubs Assail Senate Act
Aimed to Repeal 1 0-Hour Law.
Both Measures Perilous,
Says Father O'Hara.
Oregon women who were active In
having passed at the .191$ session of
the Legislature the Industrial Welfare
Commission bill have begun violent
protest against two- bills which ap
peared in tha Senate (the first wees.,
nn. bill la Senate Mil No. 21. Intro
duced by Lafollette, ':Oi Marion, the
purport of which is to take the can
neries or tne state wutoi'iw '
dirt inn of the Industrial Welfare Com
mission and to repeal the 10-hour law
for women cannery workers, which has
held for 10 years.
The other bill Is Senate bill No. 4,
Introduced bv Barrett, of Umatilla,
and designed to combine the Indus
trial Welfare Commission with the In
dustrial Accident Commission and the
State Labor Commission.
Women Make Pretest.
At two meetings Saturday the mem
bers of the Federated Women's Clubs
of Oregon and of the Oregon onsumers'
League began formal protest to the
members of the Legislature. The fed
eration represents 95 women's clubs
and a total of $000 members. With
other women and the members of the
Consumers' League they took an active
part in having enacted the Welfare
Commission law and In getting it into
successful operation.
Father P. V. O'Hara, chairman of the
commission, speaking for the commis
sion members and for the women's or
ganizations yesterday, said the effect
of either one or botn ot tne ouis wouio
be to destroy the eniciency ot tne com.
mlflslon.
"These bills look harmless." said
Father O'Hara. "and no doubt the mo
tives in Introducing them are beyond
reproach, but the forces behind them
have not stopped to consider the effect
if the new bills pass.
Cannery Change Opposed.
"The Welfare Commission now repre
sents and acts for three factors, the
employe, the employer and the public
as a whole. The elimination of the
canneries from the jurisdiction of the
commiB&ion obviously would be a mis
take and as for the proposal to merge
the three commissions, neither effi
ciency nor economy would be served.
It must be remembered the Welfare
Commission is a nonpaid organization.
Therefore there is no argument for
economy. And as for efficiency, with
this commission giving Its entire atten
tion to Industrial welfare business. It,
of necessity, is better able to execute
its duties than if these duties fell to a
commission which has to watch over
industrial accidents and the man) dif
ferent promblems connected with the
Labor Commissioner's office.
"The Welfare Commission was estab
lished also by unanimous vote of both
houses last session after the bill was
brought up by Senator Malarkey.
"Inasmuch as the constitutionality
of the act is now in the court, this is
no time to tinker with the law."
