HOUSE RECALLS ITS TWO BIG FUND BILL Representatives- Near Where . They Started Concerning ' Continuing Moneys. . EASTERN OREGON FIGHTING ppropriations forjCollege Experi menting Wanted Intact Fish and Game Coin Also in War. Straggle Ine Today. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Jan. 25. (Special.) By recalling from the Senate the Scheubel bill, providing for a general fund for the state revenues and by reconsidering the measure, also by Scheubel. repealing all discontinu ing cash appropriations, the House this afternoon placed itself back virtually where it was at the close of business Friday night. The Eastern Oregon delegation is preparing to force the House to table the continuing appropriation repeal bill, pending action on a measure it will introduce tomorrow morning, pro viding that the Agricultural College pay for the work of the demonstration farms and extension work from the funds accruing to the college from the millage tax now in effect. If this movement succeeds tne Scheubel bill will go back again to the committee on ways and means for anandment. . That will leave it in pre :'Jely the same shape as When intro duced two weeks ago. Eastern Oregon Fights. The. Eastern Oregon delegation was active today. Tit' was largely through its efforts that the other Scheubel bill, providing for the general fund, was recalled from the Senate. The reason for this action is that the bill, as it now stands, provides that the funds of the Fish and Game Commission be placed into the general fund. Many members of the House protest ed this afternoon that they were not aware of this situation when they voted for the bill last Friday. For that reason they asked that it be re called from the Senate. The motion to recall was debated vigorously and prevailed by a norrow margin, the House voting 30 to 29 on this sub ject. . . But after the motion had been passed it was learned that the Senate already had adjourned. The measure, therefore, could not be formally re considered. .-,. Reoresentative Hurlburt asked that the bill, upon reconsideration, be made a special order of business for 2 o'clock Thursday . afternoon. He was sup ported in this proposal largely by those members who art understood to favor the continuation of the fish and game fund in Its present form, but Repre sentative Scheubel opposed the plan yesterday. Scheubel Rap Sportsmen. "If we flx a certain time for con sideration of this subject." he said, "we will have sportsmen coming in here by the trainload trying to Influence the legislature. And I do a large propor tion of the people of Oregon an injus tice when I call them sportsmen. About SO per cent of them are tin-horns." The Eastern Oregon contingent fought desperately and with a united front for a reconsideration of the bill. The only deserter from their ranks was Repre sentative Al Jones, chairman of the ifame committee, who is strongly in favor of the plan to place the flan and same money in the general fund. While the debate was in progress both sides scurried through the corridors and committee-rooms and rushed the stragglers to their peats. Every member was present, excepting one, therefore when the roll was called. The absentee was Representative Henkle. of Umatilla, who, it is understood, would have voted with the affirmative side, thus giving the motion a margin of two votes. M. jtMJIUD IPJU.S AMJUIO X.ttTtUD Another struggle is due the first thing in the morning. The bill will then be brought over from the Senate and those members who are fighting to retain the fish and game fund will try to make the measure a special .order for some time later In the week. Scheubel. however, will insist on im mediate action. Fair Award Dropped. The clash over the appropriation bill began right after the -other measure had been temporarily disposed of last Friday, reported back the original bill leaving provision for continuing the appropriations for the experiment sta tions. The House went into committee of the whole. Representative Olson pre siding to consider the report. After a long debate the only thing accom plished was to extract from the list of continuing appropriations the items of $15,000 for paying awards at the State Fair. As soon as the committee reported back to the House. Schueubel made a motion that the ways and means com mittee be instructed to prepare a bill .i : 1 A0--lonltiiT.nl 11 1 ! 1 1 s' auiiiuiim5 ius r, i ..... . to pay for the experiment and demon stration WorK irom tne muucy w tng to it from the millage tax.

It is encumbent upon me at this time to deny a rumor that Senator Kellaher, when he introduced the memorial, thought the Ferris bill had something to do with moving the big Chicago wheel to the San Francisco Exposition. Senator Kellaher had a more definite idea of the bill than that, although his memorial does Indorse the bill as passed by the House In a form moat unsatis factory to the Western power states. He now says be is not bound or com mitted to the House bill. But there is scant prospect that the Senate will indorse the Ferris bill In any form. A substitute resolution is in the making which provides for call ing a convention of Representatives elected by the Legislatures in the West ern water power states to meet in Port rand next Summer. It is the expecta tion that such a convention could unite on-certain principles to be incorporated in a bill which would more fairly rec ognize the rights of the states in hydro electric development as the owners of the power. The strong objection made to the Ferris bill Is that it unjustly capital izes for the benefit of the general Gov ernment the necessity of the states to utilize otherwise worthless Government land in order to develop their own water power. MISS TOWNS SPEAKS FOR OPTIONAL STUDS' OF SCIENCE. Woman Legislator Wonld Shift Atten tion From Rabbits and Fish to Pupils and Fellow Lawmakers Concur. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or.. Jan. 25. (Special.) Shall physiology be taught in the public schools of Ore gon? The House thinks so, but It thinks also pupils should not be re quired to study the subject if the parents object. This attitude was expressed this af ternoon when the Scheubel bill, pro viding that physiology be taught only at the option of the children's parents. was called up with the favorable re port of the committee on education. Miss Towne spoke for the measure and explained that the bill has the support of hundreds of mothers and numerous organizations of women throughout the state. 'Their attitude," she said, "has grown out of use in the public schools of Ritchie's "Primer of Sanitation,' which these mothers declare, lays un due emphasis upon germs and germ life and the - causes of disease and arouses a morbid curiosity in the minds of children. "We have given much attention here in the last two weeks to rabbits and fish and various kinds of game, and I believe it's time now to do something for the boys and girls." - Dr. Smith, of Portland, expressed his intention of voting for the bill, but said the germ theory cannot be too thoroughly impressed upon the people. 'If parents don't want children to know anything about themselves, let them raise, them that way," he said. ' Representatives Dlllard and Collins, former school teachers, . opposed it. The bill finally was sent back to the education committee with instructions to amend it that physiology shall not be required as a study in the grammar grades or that Instructions in physi ology be confined to anatomy and kindred subjects. ANESTHETIC ACT IS FOCGHT Senator Dlmick Would Repeal Law Requiring Graduate Attendants. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Jan. 25. (Special.) Senator Dimick today in troduced a bill to repeal an act wnicii requires physicians to have graduate nurses administer anestnetlcs. xne bill was introduced at the request of Oregon City physicians, who say the present law is unjust. Tftey say tnat it is absolutely impossible to have a nurse with them at all times when it Is necessary to administer anesthe tics, and that the law not only works a hardship upon the country people, but the country ' physicians, and that in numerous instances for the sake of humanity they have been compelled to violate the law. It also is declared that there are many persons, not graduate nurses, who are competent to administer anes thetics, who cannot spare the time and trouble to take a course of training to pass the examination under the pres ent law. -. Miss Tonne's Bill Jfow Law. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 25. (Special.) Miss Marlon Towne's bill, providing that title in Crater Lake Park be transferred from the state to the United States was signed by Gov ernor Withycombe today. The bill was the first one introduced by the Jack son County Representative, and as a compliment to her it was passed unanimously by both houses. JVliss Towne announced that the United States would not beautify the park until it obtained absolute control. SIDELIGHTS STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 25. (Special.) Some of the legislators who passed Saturday In Salem took ad vantage of the opportunity to visit tne state institutions. Among them was D. C. Lewis, Representative from St. Johns, who devoted the morning to an inspection of the Penitentiary. Mr. Lewis became interested In one of the prisoners, a young man of cheery disposition, good manners and apparent intelligence. "Young man," advised Lewis, after picking up a conversation with him, "as soon ,as you get out of here the best thing you can do is to settle down, go to work and get hold of a piece of property." "Shucks, that's what I'm in for." was the retort. " Colonel Mercer, sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, offered prayer at the open ing session of the house this morning His utterances were unusually eloquent and proved a real insoiration to , the members. A. E. Clark, of Portland, visited the House and Senate this morning. J. A. Westerlund, of Medford, a mem ber of the 1913 House, visited the House this morning and was extended the courtesies of the floor. There is one member of the House who has had a varied' legislative ex perience. He is Representative Bar row, of Coos County, who habitually refers to his attendance at legislative sessions in Ohio. Missouri. Kansas and other states. ' Chickens, ducks, geese and other kinds of poultry hereafter will be ex empted from constables' attachments if the House has its way aoout it. - ma Olson bill providing such exemptions was passed with a decisive vote this morning. Spanish-American War veterans may be required to pay for their hunting and fishing licenses after all. although Civil War veterans doubtless will be exempted. The House has amended the Blanchard exemption bill by striking out the words "Spanish-American." Milton A. Miller, collector of inter nal revenue at Portland, and for many years & member of the State Senate, E Employers May Require Em ployes to Quit Affiliations. LABOR HAS SIMILAR-RIGHT United States Supreme Court De cides In Favor of Railroad Super intendent Accused by Worker of Threat to Discharge. WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. Employers may require employes to renounce union affiliations as a condition of em ployment, the Supreme Court of the United States held today. Justices Hughes and Holmes presented a dis senting opinion, in which Justice Day joined. The decision was made in a suit over the so-called Kansas coer cion statute, which holds it unconsti tutional, and, according to Justice Day, laws on like lines in California, Colo rado, Connecticut, Indiana. Massachu setts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey. New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and in Porto Rloo are invalidated with the Kansas law. Under the Kansas statute it was un lawful for any individual or corpora tion to coerce or influence any person to enter into an agreement not to join or remain a member of a labor organi zation as a condition of securing or continuing employment. Labor Has Like Bight. The case arose from the conviction of T. B. Coppage, a division superin tendent of the Frisco railway system for threatening A. R. Hedge, a switch man, with dismissal if he did not with draw from the Switchmen's Union of North America. The substance of the opinion of the majority of the court was in this para graph: "Just as labor organizations have the inherent and constitutional right to deny membership to any man who will not agree that during such member ship he will not accept or retain em ployment in the company with non union men, and just as a union man has the constitutional right to decline proffered employment unless the em ployer will agree not to employ any non-union man; so the employer has the constitutional right to insist that the employe shall refrain from affilia tion with the union during the term of employment." Political Rights Compared. The contention of the dissenting Justices is expressed, in the main, in this paragraph of their opinion: "Could an employer not be forbid den from agreements that an employe should not Join the National Guard? Could not the state strike down agree ments not to join a certain political party? Why not labor unions, what ever members of this court may think of these unions?" BIG BRIDGE LOSS FOUND STATE HIGHWAY ENGINEER SAYS COUNTIES PAY TOO MUCH. Linn and Marlon Overcharge Is $6587, Reports Mr. Bowlby, Who Blamea Unskilled Builders. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 25.

"Here." said Chapman, "is the bi ennial report of the Immigration Com mission. "And here." said Putnam, "is the of ftcial epitaph for the Commission the Governor has just signed the bill aDol lshing It." . "Never mind, you should have the report anyway," added Chapman. "Also I dare say I am the only omciai m nis tory who was legislated out of a job without making a single protest."

When he favors a bill he usually says in casting his vote: "It is a etep in the right direction." Senator Moser has on one or two occasions tried to jake his colleague by using the phrase and pointing to Kellaher. "He can't get my goat," said the latter today. 0 GIBED ID How Short, Thin Hair Can Be Made Long and Luxuriant in 30 Days.

By- an appropriate coin cidence the first measure voted upon today by the Senate after Miss Kathryn Clark, of Douglas County, had quali fied as a State Senator, was the Lang- guth bill making women eligible for Jury service.

This was considered necessary to insure the requisite members for juries outside of Multnomah County. As originally drawn, the announcements of exemp tions were to be made at the conven ing of courts, and in case many women desired exemptions- there would have been a lack of jurors. In sneaking of her affirmative vote on the measure Miss Clark said: "Yes. I voted tor it. If women want to serve on juries, that is all right. Per sonally I do not care to become a juror. However, If we had defeated the bill there probably would have been com plaint. "I shall introduce a tew diiis, out have not as yet prepared them. I in tend to go slow. This is all new to me, as you know, and I shall have to learn. Yes, I understand president xnompson has appointed me on several commit tees, but I really don't know which ones." Senator Clark is chairman of the committee on horticulture and a mem ber of the committee on public build ings and grounds and on county and state affairs. She appeared in the Senate chamber early today with Sec retary of State Olcott, who announced that the vote had been cast and she had her credentials. Chief Justice Moore, of the Supreme Court, administered the oath of office. Senators Moser and Butler, of the ere dentials committee, reported that Miss Clark's credentials were satisfactory and the report was adopted unani mously. Under the Langguth bill jury service is optional with women. TAX BIIL PROCEDURE IS SET Senator Bases Plea for Withdrawal -on Opinion of Attorney-General. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or 'Jan. 25. (Special.) Declaring that he had an opinion from the Attorney-General that all tax bills should be Introduced in the House, Senator Perkins, chairman of the committee on assessment and taxation today, asked that measures on taxation that had been Introduced in the Senate be withdrawn. He sug gested that the authors have them acted upon in the House first in order that there might be no' doubt as to the legality of a measure that might pass. Bingham said that tax bills had been introduced in the Senate before and that they were dissimilar from ap propriation bills, which he believed should be introduced in the House. Day agreed with him, declaring that there was no need of withdrawing the meas ures. SEW BILLS APPEAR IX SENATE Mr. Bingham Proposes to Abolish Board of Forestry. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 25.
