HEN MAKE PLEA COMMITTEE IS ASKED TO OPPOSE ABOLISHMENT OF BOARD. Representative Olds, Anthor of Bill, Does Not Urge Passage, Admitting Need of Bureau tn State. STATE CAPITOU Salem, Jan. 21. (Special.) Urgent appeals were made to the House committee on livestock tonight to report unfavorably on the Olds bill providing lor the abolition of the livestock sanitary board, the state veterinarian ano the repeal of the law regulating efforts against the spread of contagious diseases among animals. Representative Olds, himself, declared that If the small stockman is given, a chance to have his stock tested when so desired he will not press the pass age of his bill. That the livestock sanitary board is a necessary institu tion for the development of the live stock industry was argued and Mr. Olds agreed that its continued exist ence is essential for the benefit of the state. William Schulmerich, of Hillsboro, chairman of the legislative committee of the Oregon Pure Bred Livestock Association, cited the progress made by farmers ot Washington County since taking up livestock raising as one reason for further appropriations tor the board. "Before we started to raise live stock we didn't have a bank in the county." he explained. "Now we have 13 banks with more than J3.000.000 .of fanners' canital represented. Our con densed milk factories produce more than $1,000,000 in net revenue tor us. Representative Olds said that he had Introduced the measure on behalf of constituents who have been dissatisfied with the conduct of the Livestock Board's affairs. He did not urge that the bill be passed. The uoara naa an appropriation of approximately 850,000 in the last two vears. Among the livestock men present were: William scnuimencn, oi hnrn: J. D.

One provision of the bill is that it provides a fine of not less than $100 or more than $1000 and imprisonment in tho County Jail of from 30 days to one year or in the Penitentiary from one to live years.

Olympia May Fail. FIGHT FOR PATRONAGE ON State Land Board, Now Democratic, Controls and Bill Is Introduced to Abolish It Plan Afoot to Name Republicans. STATE CAPITOL. Olympia, Wash Jan. 21. (Special.) President Charles U Mackenzie, of the Washington State Good Roads Association, the entire ex ecutive committee of the organization and other good roads boosters from all parts of the state descended in force upon the Legislature today to urge that body to continue the permanent highway levy of 14 mills. That their plea probably will be vain is indicated by a poll of the House taken by Representative McArdle, of Jefferson, chairman of the House roads and bridges committee, who advocates a reduction of 1 mill. With 73 of the 97 members of the lower house in terviewed, McArdle found 62 favoring a reduction of the permanent highway levy, four favoring a reduction of both the permanent and public highway and seven standing for retention of both levies at their present figures. Permanent Levy Wanted. The good roads men were given an open hearing before the joint roads and bridges committees in the House chamber this afternoon and again to night, many legislators and good roads advocates attending.. The good roads champions urge that of the two levies, the permanent highway, expended by the counties, is more important than the public highway, expended by the state. The start of a fight between Demo crats and Republicans for $50,000 worth of patronage, the state's share of ap pointees in the proposed 600,000-acre exchange with the Federal Government, featured the legislative session today. The State Land Board now, with a Democratic majority, controls this patronage to be distributed next Sum mer. Governor Lister's bill abolishing the present Tax Commission of three mem bers and substituting one Tax Commis sioner with two companion bills pro viding for the changed membership of the State Land Board and Board of Equalization was introduced by Reeves, Democratic leader. Under these bills majorities of both boards would re main Democratic. Fight Over Board Looms. The bills were referred by Speaker' Conner to the juriciary committee at Reeves request, but immediately Mc Ardle moved change of reference to his own committee, on elections and privileges, where they might be smothered. The Speaker refused to change the reference. McArdle has announced, however, in troduction of committee bills of his own to provide that the State Land Board shall consist of elective Repub lican officials, thus giving that party control of patronage distribution, and the absolute abolition of the Tax Com mission, giving the duties of that of fice to the Land Commissioner. Thus the two sets of bills probably will be fought out on the floor of the House. Republican May Win Seat. That the House will gain anotner Republican member on the contest of Hogan for the Snohomish County seat now held by Swale, Progressive, was made probable today when the recount committee, after completing the count of 15 precincts found a net gain of six for Hogan, thus placing him four votes ahead of Swale, who on the face of the returns was' declared elected by two votes. Mistakes in the original count were found in every' precinct examined but one. In the Senate today Wray introduced the so-called prizefight bill, authoriz ing 10-round, no decision boxing" con tests under supervision of a state ath letic commission, the measure being modeled after the New York law. CLARKE SENATOR INDUSTRIOUS Bill lor Sunday Closing of Theaters and Pool Halls Opposed. OLYMPIA, Wash., Jan. 21. (Special.) Senator French, of Clarke County, is proving one or the -most Industrious introducers of bills in the Legislature. Senate bill No. 86, to authorize absentee voting, is his latest, introduced yes terday. One of his measures which Is caus ng greatest concern is Senate bill No. 1, providing for Sunday closing of theaters, moving-picture shows and public poolhalls. This measure already has drawn a considerable lobby or hostile "movie" owners to Olympia The French bill limiting counties, cities and school districts to expenditure of 80 per cent of their levies is under consideration in the revenue and taxa tion committee and probably will be reported favorably. INSANE PATIENTS ARE COSTLY Washington May Deport Aliens and Make Relatives Pay. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Jan. 21. (Spe cial.) Attempts to reduce the expenses of maintaining Washington's insane patients, now numbering approximately 3000 and constituting more than half of all the wards of the state, is occu nvinir the attention of the House ap propriations committee. The committee probably will recommena lavorame ac tion on Governor Lister's, proposal to deport the alien insane, amounting to more than 3U per cent oi tne total nuin ber. On the proposal of .representative Reed, of Mason County, the committee also will draft a bill of its own mak ing it the duty of county prosecutors to learn whether persons committed to the state hospitals have estates, and nrnvidinsr the charging of a mainten ance fee when the insane person or his mmediate relatives are possessea oi sufficient means. SENATE PASSES MEASURE (Continufd From First Pace.) tion to an item recorded as "attorney's fees" totaling $175. Moser insisted that he tell to whom the money was paid. and Vinton said all the bills were signed by Claud McColloch. Dimick. in defense of his measure. said $25,000 was appropriated the first two years and $24,000 the next two, and not 49 cents' worth of good had been received by the taxpayers. He said the plan was to expand the organization ntil the appropriation probably reached $100,000. It was the Intention to obtain tne battleship Oregon for training purposes. and with the larger craft there would be a larger membership, declared Sena tor Dimick. He read from the books of the Secretary of State, emphasizing numerous payments for taking ashes from the vessel, the one for attorney's fees, one for laundry, another for "alter ing pants," and declared that he was showing where the people's money went. He thought the militia should be abol ished as an earnest of the pledges made by the Senators before the election. Farrell urged that the substitute bill be passed, declaring that, under the new regime, the militia would do better. He said the $15,000 would be used for main tenance and tVere would be no salaries. FLAX PLAN IS SUBMITTED Senate Asks Prompt Report on Gov ernor's Suggestion. . STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 1. (Special.) A message from Governor Withycombe' urging the House and Sen ate to appoint committees to investi gate the feasibility of growing flax in this state today was referred to the committee on agriculture in the Senate, with instructions to report, at the ear liest possible time. Governor Withycombe says he is of the opinion that the crop offers a solu tion of the unemployment conditions of convicts. He suggests that a factory cnuld be operated at the prison, the convicts doing the rough work without i coming in contact with rree laDor. SGHUEBEL BILL IS IN CANCELLATION OF CONTINUING AP PROPRIATIONS SEEMS FAVORED. Motion by Klamath Representative ' That Law, If Passed,, Be Not En forced Until 1017, Defeated. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or.. Jan 21. (Special.) In its first skirmish on. the Schuebel bill, providing for tne cancellation of continuing appropria tions, the House this morning maicatea its approval of the plan. The Schuebel bill makes exception of the millage taxes levied for the sup port of the state university, the agri cultural college, the normal school and toad construction, but proposes to wipe i out all other continuing expenditures which approximate J935.140 annually. This would necessitate tne various state departments and institutions coming before the Legislature at each hiennial session and seeking a cash appropriation of the precise amount re. quired for conaucting tneir ri.ci. ive departments. The wavs and means committee re- Dorted this morning in favor of the bill, but Representative Smith, of Klamath County, presented a minor ity report advising that the law should not become effective until January 1, 1917. I am heartily In accord with tne plan to abolish the continuing approp riations," said Representative Smith, sneaking of the adoption of his report, "but I think it would cause arreat inconvenience to every state in stitution affected by this bill to cause it to go into effect before January l, 1917. Some of them, believing that their appropriations would be' contin ued this year, have not prepared them selves to ask for new appropriations. "Among them are the state fair board, the Oregon National Guard, the state library and the fund for the pay ments of the State Treasurer's bond. It would not be good policy to make this measure effective at once. "Otherwise I am wholly agreed with the other members of the committee. I take this stand only because I fear It would cripple some of the state in- stitutions." - Renresentative Barrow was agafhstr) the bill on the general proposition that it would curtail the efficiency of some of the state deparments." Representative Davey, of Harney, also questioned the good effects of the measure not on principle, he ex plained but because the experiment stations in Eastern Oregon now are provided for out of the continuing ap propriations. Chairman Cobb, of the ways and means committee, explained that if the bill was passed all worthy departments will be taken care of by appropriations made in the regular way. The Smith minority report was lost by a decisive vote and the majority report just as decisively adopted. The measure now will take its place at the top of the calendar and come up for final consideration within three days. The vote on the ways and mean's committee reports this morning is taken by House members to indicate that the House is almost unanimously in favor of the plan to abolish the continuirg appropriations. This step also has been urged by Governor Withy fombe and is under stood to be held in approval by a majority of the members of the Senate. $t SEAL BOUNTY PASSED HOUSE ISANIMOUS FOR BILL TO SATE SALMON IN COLUMBIA.

The House this morning passed the bill introduced by the Clat sop County delegation providing a bounty of $1 on seals and on seal cubs. Clatsop Representatives declared that seals now destroy oue-rourtn tne sal mon in the Columbia River. Representative Lewis opposed the measure on the ground that it Is pa ternalistic and urged that the fisher men themselves snouia proviae me bounty. Upon rollcall Lewis voted "aye," making the vote unanimous. Un der provisions of the bill the . state is to nay one-hair the bounty and tne respective counties one-half, the money coming out of the regular bounty funds. The measure also increases the bounty on coyotes. The House passed the junkie Dill enabling Justices of the Peace to make commitments to insane hospitals in emergencies arising from the tempor ary absence of the regular court of ficials.

The Huston bill to provide tor tne satisfaction of mortgages by foreign executors, administrators and guar dians also yas passed. This enables es tates to clear the title to property upon which mortgages have been secured in other states. The Olson bill conferring the right of eminent .domain to gas companies also was passed.
