There are numerous other bills that have a trend toward economy, but are largely remedial acts applying to cum bersome methods of doing business. For mi. a hill has nassed the House providing that when a voter registers he shall, in ellect. say wneiner ut .!... tn rAceivn nersonaliv all the elec tion pamphlets issued by the state. The theory Is that in iamuies omy vu copy is needed and that the enactment of the bill will reduce election ex penses. It may be said in passing, however, that Secretary of State Olcott jn., not believe practical good will be accomplished by this bill. The County Clerks must make out the registration viKtu In anv event and forward them to the Secretary of State, and the labor involved Is one of the large items. He suggests as a better plan tnat tne sec retary of State be permitted to forward the pamphlets In bulk to the County Clerks, who will thereafter mail them. The actual labor would thereby be greatly reduced. Prompt Action Hoped For. But, getting back to the joint com mittee. The House may get around to passing the resolution tomorrow and th mmmittee ought to be able to get to work by the following day unless there is some unforeseen obstacle. It Is probable that the larger portion of its duties cannot fee accomplished short of the 22d day of the session named in the resolution. Frequency of the appearance of the emergency clause on bills for which there is no actual emergency has caused Senator Day to hasten the in troduction of a bill following the pro visions of the law passed by the 1913 session providing for a contingent ref erendum election In November. It is recognized that- the emergency clause frequently Is added to measures to pre vent a holdup for two years by refer endum. The objection to a delay in operation until next November is not nearly so great. Rumored Plan Styled Fraud. , There is still talk of attaching the emergency clause to the prohibition statute, which would be a fraud on Its face. There is no emergency and can be none because the law will not go Into effect until January 1, 191S. An emergency clause would be on that measure would be a mere rormaiiiy to forestall a referendum. It is recocnized also that unless the special election is provided for there is danger that every bill abolishing paid offices will be referended by the dissatisfied incumbents. The new bill providing for a spe cial election does not permit initiated measures to be submitted at the same eletcion. It is conceded, however, that if it passes, some of the proposed con stitutional amendments submitted by the Legislature may carry a provision that if a special election is necessary to consider referended bills such amendments may be considered at the same time but that otnerwise iney shall go over until the regular eieo- tln,i In 1116. It ought to be clearly understood that tMs bill provides for an election only in the event that the referendum Is Invoked against measures nuupiro h thin Legislature. Unless the spe cial election bill is passed a referendum would delay the operation of laws until November. 1316. Tne proposes law would dispose of tnem one year sooner. Slnnott Strives to Persuade Secretary Lane to Designate Particular, Irrigation " Enterprise. OKEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Jan. 19. The appropriation for Government Irrigation work in Eastern Oregon was again placed in jeopardy Saturday, when Speaker Clark .ruiea that the committee on Irrigation is without authority to consider and re- port a bill making appropriations out of the reclamation fund to carry on work on Government Irrigation proj ects. This committee, of which Represent ative Sinnott, of Oregon, is a member. hn been at work on a bill making ap propriations for the year beginning July 1, but under the Speaker's ruling these appropriations must be reported by the regular appropriations commit' tee. Representative Fitzgerald, of New Tork. chairman of the appropriations committee, holds that under the new law money for the reclamation fund must be appropriated directly for proj ects which are named In the appropria tion, and that Congress cannot make the appropriation in general terms, as for instance, "for work In Central Ore gon." In view of this contention Rep resentative Sinnott Is urging the Sec retary of the Interior to select some project in Eastern Oregon on which 1450.000 can be advantageously spent. so that the appropriation of that amount can be made this session. Mr. Sinnott further wants this appro priatlon so worded that it can be er pended for a purely Government proj ect or for some co-operative project. JEWISH PROBLEM LOOMS Russian Action Expected to Cause Lessening of Immigration. CHICAGO. Jan. , 19. Delegates to the 24th council of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations today listened to the welcoming address from M. E. Greenebaum, of Chicago, and the reoortd of officers and committees. The report of the board of delegates on civil rights touched particularly on the status of Jewish immigrants at the close of the European war. On this point the report said: "Grave as the problems up to the present moment have been, the future throws still greater problems on the canvas of possibility. We must natur ally come to the conclusion that If the government of Russia, whether it wins or loses, should make good the al 'fisrod nromises reported by the news papers, of according equal rights to its Jewish subjects, then Jewish im migration from that country would be materially lessened, if it did not cease altogether."

It may be relieved, but It cannot be removed by simply local treatment. It causes head ache and dizziness, impairs the taste, smell and hearing, affects the voice, de ranges the digestion, and breaks down the general health. It weakens the delicate lung tissues and leads to con sumption. Hood's Sarsaparilla goes to the seat of the trouble, purifies the blood, and is so successful that it is known as the best remedy for catarrh. Hood's Sarsaparilla strengthens and tones the whole system. It builds up. Ask your druggist for Hood's, and in sist on having it. There ia no real substitute. Adv.
