ANTI-WETS CONSIDER IT Mtarmacr Board Member Pleads to Deny night to Apothecaries. Original Bill as Changed Likely to Be Chosen. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or., Jan. -0. (Special.) Drugstores may be per mitted to sell whisky and other liquors on prescription under terms of the pro posed prohibition law now being con sidered by the House mittrVJt some of the "dry" PPr er,"e ginning to think that this step may be necessary to comply with thecon stitutional amendment Pte people last November, although they ire not ready to concede th.s V"Jr The committee held another meeting tonight, at which it considered the three prohibition measures now before them the Committee of One Hundred bill, the Lewis bill and the Cardwell "'"he constitutional amendment adopt ed by the people last Fall makes the exception that alcoholic liquor may be sold for medicinal, sacramental, scien tific or mechanical purposes, and it is contended by some members of the committee that to comply with this pro vision it will not be legal to deny the druggists the right to sell intoxicants. Anti-Store Plea Made. Frank S. Ward, of Salem, a member of the Oregon Board of Pharmacy, ap peared before the committee and urged that the committee refrain from giving druggists the right to sell liquor, even on prescription. "Tile decent druggists of the state don't want to sell it." he said. "I never heard of a prescription calling for whis ky that could not have prescribed some thing else. Whisky is not a medicine, unless nothing else is available. But In a drugstore other medicines are available. The very fact that a person goes to a drugstore to get a prescrip tion filled makvss It unnecessary to get whisky. Something else can be pro- CUKepresentative E. V. Littlefleld. chairman of the House committee, who has been presiding the last few days at the joint meeting, said tonight that he is not ready to admit that it will be necessary to force the sale of whisky on to the drugstores. "I know in the first place that the legitimate druggists don't want to be bothered with It." he said, "for they will be forced into competition with bootleggers. If we give the drug stores the right to sell we will have bootleggers on every corner and the decent druegists will be brought into disrepute with them. I hope that we can tind some way by whi-h we can keep the druggists out of it and still comply with the constitution." All Exception Opposed. James S. Stewart, the Wheeler Coun ty member, holds to the opinion that druggists should not be permitted or forced to sel liquor. He declares that the people voted the state dry and thinks no exceptions should be made tor any class for any purpose. Mr. Stewart also ia opposed to the provision in the present bill that would permit individuals to ship in unlimited quantities of liquor. "Under this section anyone can ship In all the 'booze' he wants. What is there to prevent him selling it? We could have bootleggers in every home," said Mr. Stewart. The Lewis bill seeks to prevent the shipment of liquor into the state, while the Cardwell bill, which consists of only 115 words, .merely seeks to place the constitutional amendment into ef fect and leaves the law. to be enforced under previously existing statutes. The committee aims to concentrate its efforts on the Committee of One .Hundred's bill and report it with many amendments. Members of the Com mittee of One Hundred declare that the revisions made in the bill are satisfac tory and that the spirit of the law is being preserved. The Lewis and the Cardwell bills probably will be reported adversely. TASK CALLED THANKLESS (Continued From First Paee: body and therefore merely preliminary action. When 1009 bills are Introduced ii i was the rase in 1913 it is a me chanical impossibility for newspapers to give each hearing and each commit tee action representation in its col umns. , The members, when House and Sen ate are not in session, are usually en Kaged in grinding committee work or poring over bills on their own account l.aiYmaVlngr Slot for Drones. . Po far as that part of the public which Is not called to Salem by in terest in legislation may know the members are doing nothing a large part of the time. It Is not true in the larger sense. There are idlers al ways to be found, but In the main the Job of lawmaking is not conducted by drones. Considering the quantity of work that must bo undertaken by the ways and means committee it is somewhat remarkable that there is always a scramble for places on it. I am not unmlndfnl that members sometimes seek assignment to the ways and means committee for selfish interests self fish, that is. in that they wish to ob tain some appropriation for the benefit of their particular constituents. But that motive is exceptional among those who llnally ge the places if the presiding officers are careful, as they have been tliis time. ltrtallcd Inquiry Required. The ways and means committee passes on all appropriations. This is not a significant statement, except to those who have seen the estimates for the needs of the various institutions and departments as contained in the biennial budget. The budget is about as voluminous and enticing a document as an unabridged dictionary. The hos pital for the Insane, for example, wants appropriations fur cows, horses, roads, hogpens. bakeovens, new kitchen floors, drain tile, waterplpe, window screens, sterilizing apparatus, photo graphic supplies and a hundred and one other things either necessary or desirable In an institution operating a farm and harboring unfortunates numbering as many as the Inhabitants of a good -sized town. Meeting at Midnight. When the members of the ways and "means committee are not attending sessions of the Legislature or tied up in other committee meetings, they are either meeting as a ways and means committee or visiting the state institu tions and inquiring 1b detail into the actual need of the appropriations asked for. I attended a Joint meeting of the House and Senate ways and jneaos committee last night. " I went In about 10 o'clock primarily to ask one of the members a question. He was so en-o-meaoH and tb.' committee was so busy that I did not have the courage to in terrupt him. I finally became Inter ested in the discussion of the numerous items under consideration anu re mainwt with the mee tins. The commit tee had then been in. session two hours and it continued in session until mid night Overtime Dally Rale. Th armronriations under discussion were those asked by the Hospital for the Insane. AJ1 the members of the committee had visited the institution and had. had pointed out to them where the money and how the money was 10 be exnended. Not only did the com mi t tee so into the necessity for each proposed expenditure, but called upon those whose private interests had fa- miliarzied them with farm activities or building construction or road work or stockraising or dairying for opin ions as to the accuracy of the esti mates. This committee is in session from 8 P. M. to approximately midnight every mghL Last night after tDe Joint com mittee had adjourned Chairman Cobb held the members of the House com mittee for a discussion or severa purely House measures. Bear in mind that it was then midnight and that the failing steam had Anally failed to reach the radiator in the third top-floor room where the committee sat Chance for Lnneh Slight. As the Senators and I passed out Dr, Andrew C. Smith, held there as a mem ber of the House committee, emitted a quivering appeal to send him crawfish and a bottle of beer. The pitiful pari of it was that there was about as much chance of procuring crawfish and beer in dry Salem at that hour of the night as there was of getting him a Zeppelin on toast In short, the legislator who really gets to the front in the work of the session has no snap. He works . his head off, accomplishes a lot of good and goes back home to read flippant remarks in the radical newspapers about the welcome passing of the leg islative scourge. . E LAW IS HIT BILL INTRODUCED TO ELIMINATE PHYSICAL EXAMINATION, Dr. Anderson, of Wasco, Declares Act Does Not Have Required Effect, but Sends Business Elsewhere. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Jan. 20. ( Special. ) Representative Anderson, of Wasco County, this morning intro duced a bill In the House providing for repeal of the law requiring a medical certificate "a;? additional requisite to issuance of r, marriage license." The present law, says Dr. Anderson, drives applicants for marriage licenses to the states of Washington and Idaho. "I don't think the law has given the desired results," he says. "It doesn't prevent persons who are physically un fit from getting married. They merely go outside the state for their licenses." John B. Coffey, Clerk of Multnoman County, who has been here for the last few days, is in favor of such a measure. He calls attention to the fact that hun dreds of Multnomah County couples go to Vancouver. Wash., every year for their licenses. He had asked members of the Multnomah delegation to intro duce a similar measure or to amend the existing law so that Oregon young men and young women would stay at home to get married. Mr. Coffey was not aware that Dr. Anderson was about to introduce his bill. BllilS PILE VP IX SEXATE Revision of Judiciary System Is Sought by Mr. Thompson. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 20.

The Senate today passed a bill by Senator Bingham reducing the salaries of Lane County Commission ers from H to $3 a day. According to Alie Senator, the Commissioners nave cost the county about three times as much as other County Commissioners have cost. "They have put in every day," con tinued the Senator, "and I believe Sun days and holidays. I see that two of the Commissioners say it me salaries are reduced they will resign. If one of them had resigned several years ago the county would be thousands of dol- ars better off. 1TI-L0BBIG BILL PASSED BY HOUSE Measure Will Be Rushed to Senate, Where Favorable Disposition Is Expected.

"STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Jan. 20. (Special.) In a message which will "be acted upon by the House and Senate tomorrow Governor Withy combe urges the-appointment of a com mittee to investigate the possibilities of growing flax In Oregon. The Gov ernor suggests that in connection with the preparation of raw flax a factory could be installed at the penitentiary which would give employment to Idle prisoners. His message Is: "I earnestly recommend the imme diate aDDointment of a joint commit tee of the House and Senate to inves tigate information whiih has just come to hand whlih may be of vital impor tance to the flax industry of. Oregon and may offer most valuaDie assist ance in solving the unemployment problem at the penitentiary. "T G. Crawford, of Belfast Ireland, a representative of what is said to be the largest flax-spinning company ex tant Is In Salem. The primary mis sion of an extended trip which he is now making is to develop greater pro duction of flax, It appearing that tne European war has practically wiped out the supplies whence English and Irish spinners usually have drawn their raw material. A cursory Investiga tion of the subject makes it appear that an important agricultural development may be encouraged immediately in Ore gon, and that in connection with the preparation of raw flax a manufactur ing industry might be provided at the penitentiary which would give employ ment to the idle there, with profit to the taxpayers and with general satis faction." In connection with the message the Governor gave out the following state ment: "The statements of Mr. Crawford make it very apparent that in connec tion with the flax industry Oregon has a great opportunity to develop a most profitable brancn ot agriculture, to which this portion of the Willamette Valley is especially adaptable. The Salem Commercial Club already has appointed a committee which is inves tigating the matter, and it is upon Its suggestion that I am asking the Sen ate and the House to appoint a joint committee to look into the proposal fully at this time. "We are sure that the finest uax Can be raised here; it is apparently certain that a profitable market exists for this flax in England and on the Continent, and the canal now opens a direct route with comparatively cheap transportation. It is also proposed that a plant for retting the flax that Is, separating the flax from the straw niiEht be installed at tne peniten tiary. This would help to place the In stitution on a self-supporting basis and would in nowise interfere with free labor. The whole scheme appeals to me, especially because it looks to ward the establishment of a real new industry." It is understood that the committee would be asked to go into the subject thoroughly and probably to recommend an appropriation for the establishment of the retting plant at the peniten tiary, conditional on it developing that the proper 'machinery could be pro cured at this time and on a guarantee from neighboring agricultural districts that sufficient flax would be given to insure an adequate supply for operation. A NTI- POLYGAMY STEP FAILS Senate Refuses to Ask Congress to Make Certain Changes. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Jan. 20. (Special.) By a vote of 14 to 12 the Senate today declined to memorialize Congress to call a constitutional con vention to amend the Constitution so that the United States would have en tiro control of the supression of polyg amy. Senators voting against the pro posal declared that it was a gratui tous insult to a state that had dis carded the practice of Mormonism. A resolution asking that the Legis lature urge tho calling of the proposed convention was asked by the Legisla ture of Wisconsin. The resolution would have been adopted if Senators Bagsdale, Barrott and La Follette had not changed their votes from "Yes" to "No." SCHEUBEL BILLS ARE DEBATED Measure Advocating 3 Per Cent Tax on Ctllities Tabled Temporarily.

CASE MAY GO TO COURT Whether Millage Tax Is for Varsity Only Is Question Discussed Be fore Considering $180,000 Fund Doctors Want. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Jan. 20. (Special.) Is the Oregon State Medical College in Portland a part of the State University within the meaning of the law providing a millage tax for the University? This is the question that the ways and means committee in the House is preparing to tackle. Attorney-General Brown will be called into consultation before a decision is reached and it is possible that the Supreme Court will be required. to settle it finally. The 191S Legislature fixed a continu ous tax levy of three-tenths of 1 mill for the support of the University. Members of the present House, who also were members of the 1913 session, are of the opinion right now that this three-tenths of a mill was to apply to the Medical College at Portland as well as to the main University at Kugene. $180,000 Fund Wanted. Friends of the University now con tend that the millage tax applies only to the University proper and not to the Medical College. In accordance with this theory they are preparing to ask the Legislature for an appropriation of J80.000 for the support of the Medical College for the past, two years and a special appropriation of 1100,000 for constructing a new building for the college on the property in Portland re cently donated for the purpose by the O.-W. R. & t. Co. Those members of the House wao want to adhere to the economy pro gramme insist that the University is not entitled to any money in addition to that accuring from the millage tax. "Mv understanding when the millage tax bill was passed at the last session was that this money would take care of all the needs of the University," said Representative Olson, of Portland. Economists Against Plan. "I understand the same thing," said Representative Scheubel. of Oregon City. Both these members were In the 1913 House. They aver that supporters of the millage tax bill two years ago caused them to believe that they would ask for no additional appropriations if this bill was passed. With an assess able valuation for taxfng purposes of approximately 11,000,000,000. the state, through Its three-tenths mill levy, ap propriates $300,000 annualy for the sup port of the University. This sum, it is pointed out, is greater than the former appropriations of $175,000 annually. The economical members of the House declare that they will insist that the University take care of the Medical College out of its millage tax receipts. It is a recognized part of the Unlver stiy, thev declare, and as such should bo provided for by the University funds. The Medical College bills have not yet made their appearance. It was ex pected that members of the faculty would appear before the Multnomah delegation this afternoon. They already have submitted their plans informally to individual members of the delega tion and admit that they are ready to ask for $80,000 for the next two years in addition to the money that the Uni versity Itself will receive. Rights to Be Investigated. The special appropriation of $100,000 for the proposed new building in Port land is- coming up in yet another bill. It Is pointed out that the present build ing Is inadequate to accommodate the medical school which recently took over a similar school formerly conduct ed by Willamette University in Salem. A new building with some additional equipment is required, It is asserted, if the State of Oregon is to retain its prestige as the medical center of the NorthweBt. . "We are giving this situation our most careful consideration," said S. B. Cobb, chairman of the House ways and means committee tonight.
