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.

. 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

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

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.

Bill Reducing Salaries in. Lane
Passed by Senate.
STATE CAPITOL, .Salem. Or.. Jan. 20.
tSoecial.) 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.

after the Scheubel bill had passed.
Huston is eager to have the lobbyists

Mr. Vawter, of Jackson, defended the

Mr. With combe In Message Draws At
tention of Leglslatore to Oregon's
Opportunity for Industry.
"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.

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

COLLEGE STATUS UP
Is Medical School Part of Uni
versity? House Query.
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. "If we learn
that the law prevents us from author
ising an appropriation for the Medical
College in addition to the millage tax,
of course, we will not be able to al
low it
"We expect to consult able attorneys
on the question and make our decision
according 1 tne law. W atoa't dA
to do anything that will cripple the
University proper or the Medical
bcnooi.
