SHORT CURRICULA FOUGHT Newspaper Man Is Second to Obtain Privilege of Floor of Honsa in 2 5 Tears When Story About Plums Causes Ire. STATE CAPITOU Olympia, Jan. 28. (Special.) Regular physicians and "drugless healers clashed in fore at a Joint hearing of the medical com mittees In the Senate chamber today in debating a proposed bill to allow chiropractors, . mechano - therapeutists and followers of allied modes of heal ing to practice after passing exami nation in subjects comprising only a portion of the lists demanded of regu lar school candidates. Members of the State Board of Health, who were active recently in prosecuting these practitioners, attend ed to oppose the measure. Three mem bers of the joint medical committees who paid closest attention to the dif ferences between the old school and drugless practitioners are undertakers and the humor of that situation im pressed a few of the speakers. After comparative merits of th rival schools had been expounded Senator Bethel, of Lincoln, brought a laugh by exclaim ing: "Gentlemen. I can take, a barrel of Soap Lake water and cure SO cases of illness while these fellows are curing 10." The "druglesj healers' attacking the regular physicians for writing pre scriptions in Latin. Senator Sharpstein responded that under such a metnoa patients were induced to take their mpdicine on faith. "If prescriptions were written in English the chances are wo would re fuse to take them." he said, "and then we would die sure." General St.dy Advocated. Large delegations of regular physl cians and the drugless practitioners were present for the hearing, which consumed several hours, with crowded galleries. Doctors and osteopaths ar sued generally that any practitioner, to be able to diagnose correctly, should have the benefit of general medical ad ucation. and then should be allowed to follow any mode of treatment which he considered best suited the individual case. The' assertion by one of the regu lars" that all physicians were usin drugs less every year brought applause from the galleries. For the second time in the history of the Washington Legislature privi leges of the floor ware today extended to a person other than the Uovernor, when J. W. Gilbert, veteran correspond ant of a Seattle newspaper, was called upon to explain an article which had riven offense to House leaders. The only other person to share the privi leges of the floor during the 25 years of Washington's statehood, so far as records show, was William Jennings Bryan, who by invitation addressed both houses in 1907. Report Abeat Patronage Tsed. Air. Gilbert had used a report current about the Capitol that the real purpose of the McArdlo bills, which have started the first bitter partisan tight of the session, was to provide political berths for their authors. Representatives ic Ardle, of Jefferson, and Zednick of King, in the stats tax department. The McArdle bills take the patronage of the Tax Commission and State Land Board from the Governor's appointees, transferring them to Republican elec tive officials. Obtaining the floor on questions of personal privilege, both McArdle and Zednick denounced the report as untrue and demanded apology and explanation of the source of the report from Mr. Gilbert, who was given the privilege of the floor under suspended rules. Mr. Gilbert replied that Republican, Demo cratic and Progressive members of the Legislature had discussed with him the reported purpose of the McArdle bills, and that he had used the report in good faith as he would use gossip concern ing other rumored candidacies. Oratorical Storm Rages. The incident turned loose a flood of oratory from legislators, some seeking to pour oil on the troubled waters and some otherwise, "and the storm did not abate following adjournment. Some Legislators found merit in the European war- censorship plan . and favored revocation of privileges o"f all correspondents attributing ulterior motives to members. McArdle and Zednick, it was brought out, both re ceived political appointments follow ing the last session of the Legislature. McArdle undertaking an inspection of state departments, authorized by the legislature, while Zednick received position in the Land Department. The House had its first calendar to day, but the McArdle bills failed to tlnd places on it. The Judiciary com mlttee submitted reports on both the McArdle bills and Governor Lister's Tax Commission bill, which would keep the Tax Commission and a majority of me iami uoard under his control. 10 for McArdle Bills. -- Ten members recommended passage or tne McArdle bills and Indefinite postponement of the Governor's bills, while five bills urged consideration of all measures together as a special or der In committee of the whole. It appears probable now that another Republican House caucus will be called before action is taken, a steering com mittee of six having been designated to formulate a programme. The Black sterilization bills were discussed today on second reading. They provhie -sterilization of persons discharged from institutions for insane and feeble-minded and those convicted of Infamous crimes. Both bills went through the second-reading ordeal suc cessfully and probably will be passed next week. The innate passed two small bills and killed one. A number of new measures were introduced In both houses. Republican members and the chances of this amendment being submitted to the voters are negligible, but its back ers desire a- chance to interest public opinion in the question. SEXATE RECESS PLAN IS LOST Proposal for Delay for Committees to Catch TJp Is Defeated. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 28. (Special.) The Senate today post' poned Indefinitely the proposal of Kel laher that a recess be taken until the committeei catch up with their work. The author of the resolution before the vote was taken said he believed the "steam roller" was in good working order. He did not think it was right for the Senators to have to work day and night. Moser said the Judiciary committee was up with its work, and Bingham de ciared 40 days was too short a time for a divided session. Senator Butler served notice that he would introduce a reso lution providing for . submission of a constitutional amendment to the peo pie giving a divided session. Several of the Senators thought the plan good one. although opposing a divided session at present. All except 10 mem bers voted to postpone indefinitely the resolution. CANNERY EXEMPTION OP KEW IE.VATE BIH EIIESDS HOTOS OF WO-ttE.f IS EMERGEJfCIEl. Measure Drafted by Welfare League and Caanen la Substituted for Original After Objection. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan, 28 (Special.) Senate bill No. 126, in troduced today as a substitute for Sen ate bill No. 22, is designed to permit women to work longer than 10 hours a day in canneries in cases of (mer gency. The original bill, introduced by. the Marion County delegation, pro vided that the 10-hour law for women not apply to women employed in can neries. Objection was made to it by the Women's Welfare League and the new bill was drafted by representatives of the league and canneries. Tne operators or canneries say they do not wish to have women employed more than 10 hours daily only when fruit ripens so rapidly that it Is im passible to prepare it for canning, un less the hours of work are extended. Under the proposed bill permission will have to be obtained from the league by the canneries to lengthen the time of work. It says, in part: "No such order of said commission shall authorize or permit the employ ment of apy woman for more than a day or week than the maximum now fixed by law, provided, however, that in case of emergencies which may arise in the oonduct of any Industry or occu pation, overtime may be permitted un der conditions and rules which the com mission, after investigation, shall de- t ermine and prescribe by order and which shall apply equally to all em ployers in such Industry or occupation.

Expenditure of more than JS0.000 to administer a fund of $5000 for fighting timber fires is given by Senator Bingnam as his reason for opposing the appropriation of $111,240 asked for by the Forestry Board of Oregon for 1915 and 1916. The Senator declares his object Is to correet this waste of administration and apply the funds di recti?" to the purpose for which they are intended. and also to dispose of that feature which gives the State Foregter the ight to levy a tax on timber lands. the fire protection of which is not un der his supervision. Senator Bingham calls attention to the fact that he was the means .of placing the first fire law on the stat ute books of the state and gays he 1b determined to change the present sys tem so that taxpayers will get more actual protection for their money. His statement, in part, zoiiows: Dual System tIaliked. "In my opinion, to protect properly the forests of Oregon the dual system of taxation must be changed and either fixed I the salary of the Governor at $1500 a 1 year, and other state officers at less than that sum. Mr. Barrett said he favored retrench ment. but was in a quandary regarding the bill because of the constitutional provision. Other Senators were of the same opinion and they concluded the best thing to do was to vote against the measure. SEXATE .APPROVES MR. MOSER'S AMENDMENTS TO WIDOWS ACT COME QUICK! GET YOUR PICK!

There never has been a time for years when the lumber- and timber conditions were so depressed. If we can perfect an organization that will give its aid to true lire protection believe that it will be appreciated, and think I will be able to show to any timber owner or any reasonable man that a change is not only needed, but bsolutely necessary, and by our ac tions inspire confidence in those whom we hope to interest in the timber bus! ess in the future." Referring to the statement issued by Senator Binsham. of Lane Countv. commenting on the bills introduced by him abolishing the State Board of For estry and repealing the compulsory patrol law, state .Forester Elliott yes terday said "Senator Bingham's contention that timber requires protection but for 90 days of the year is not borne out by the facts. During May, 112, four crown fires in Oregon resulted in dam age to timber to the amount of $36,650 or more than 88 per cent of the actual loss for the entire season; while the eastern and southern portions of tne state uctoDer is frequently dangerous month. Contrast Is Made. "He takes pride in being responsible ior tne xorestry legislation enacted 1907-1909, when the Board of For estry received a total of $750 to carry on tne worit tor lour years, and states that the timber was efficiently pro tected under this system. How does he account for the fact that during 191U, tne last year under the old sys tem, $1,640,997 worth of timber was destroyed, while during 1914, with season fully as hazardous and drought period 23 days longer, the loss amounted to only $26,445? The difference in losses during the two years is $1,614,552, and this amount of taxable property undoubtedly would have been saved from destruction in 1910 had the patrol work been or ganized as efficiently as at the pres ent time."
