STATE CAPITOL. Saiem. Or., Feb. 1
(Special.) Declaring that there was
real need for the Institution and that
It was the duty of the state, which It
should not attempt to shirk, to take
care of and educate Its wayward srirls.

appeared before the joint ways and
means committee toaay ana rrit
against its proposed recommendation
to the Legislature mat. ine iiiuunumi
School for Girls be abolished.
Renresentatives of the women's clubs
spoke frankly, as did members of the
committee, and it is believed a plan
will be agreed upon that win oe sai
iafai.tnri. tn all concerned. Mrs. S. M.
Blumauer. representing the Council of
Jewish Women, said It would oe un
just and unwise at this time to dis
continue the school. It was not a mer
cenary question, she urged, but an
economical one, and a duty that should
be performed. The fact that only a
comparatively few girls naa oeen uuiso
care of was no reason for doing away
with the school, she said.
Place Deemed Necessary.
Mrs. Aristine Felts, representing the
State Congress of Mothers and also a
member of the advisory board of the
Industrial School for Girls, said the
mothers felt their children should be
protected from the class of girls sent
to the institution. The Institution, she
said, furnished the one place to send
trirls more than 18 years old. The
judges would not send them to jail,
she sld. and she thought it right they
should not be imprisoned, She said
$85,000 was appropriated by the last
Washington Legislature for a girls'
school and that she had been Informed
J125.000 would be allowed by the pres
ent Assembly. Arguing against ex
pensive buildings, Mrs. Felts suggested
that two buildings, costing $10,000 each.
In addition to the present, one would be
satisfactory for the present. The his
tory of the work, she argued, proved
that 50 per cent of the girls were re
claimed. A parol officer was needed
to keep in touch with the girls sent
from the school to families, she de
clared. Other Plans Sua-srested.
Tr. Andrew C. Smith, of the commit
tee, said there were probably 10.000
delinquent girls in the state and asked
If the keeping of 50 in the school
would be of much advantage. Mrs.
Felts said only a small proportion of
the wavward came before the courts.
lr. Smith urged that the girls could
be well taken care of by private In
stitutions at a much smaller cost, and
asked why that plan should not be
adopted. Mrs. Blumauer said denom
inational institutions were not pre
pared to do the work as thoroughly as
the state should be.
Dr. Smith said he thought the Board
of Control could make a satisfactory
arrangement with the Episcopalian
Sisters to care for the girls, lie be
lieved religious uplift necessary, but
favored no particular denomination.
Chairman Day, of the Senate commit
tee, approved the plan to distribute
the girls among denominational insti
tutions. Mrs. Felts suggested that the
school would furnish a home for the
more incorrigible of the various com
munities and remove a menace to other
girls.
Mr. Day Promise Aid.
Chairman Pay said the committee
was not hostile to the work, but
thought the school had "got off wrong."
He promised the women that the com
mittee would give full consideration to
their suggestions.
Mrs. Lola Baldwin said the per capita
cost had been fJO a month, white that
of the Boys' Training School had been
$24. She said she thought this was a
good showing for a new institution.
Other women present were Mrs. Sadie
Orr Dunbar, of the Federation of
Women's Clubs: Mrs. O. H. Pettinger,
of the same organization; Mrs. J. A.
Tettit. of the Portland Women's Club,
and representatives of various other
women's clubs.
PAWNSHOP COXTKOli DEVISED
House IHTfT.Provides More Striet
ISules for Money Lenders.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Feb. 1.
Strict regulations for pawnbrokers
are prescribed in a bill introduced in
the House today by Representative
Stanfield, of Umatilla County. The
measure makes the pawnbrokers sub
ject to regulation by the local authori
ties and by the State Bank Examiner
and calls for a bond of $5000.
One section limits the rate of Inter
est to 14 per cent a month on loans
under $100 if the loans continue. in ef
fect for six months or less. After the
first six months the rate shall be only
1 per cent. On loans of more than $100
the Interest rate in no event shall ex
ceed 1 per cent a month. Under the
present law no limit is placed on the
interest rate on loans of $30 or less and
above that amount the pawnbrokers
are permitted to charge as high as 3
per cent per month.
I'nder the proposed act no pawn
broker will be permitted to operate a
second-hand business and no unre
deemed goods may be sold at private
sale. Goods must be kept at least six
months and then advertised at public
sale through newspapers designated by
the State Bank Examiner. A licensed
auctioneer must officiate at such sales.
From the proceeds of these sales 'the
pawnbroker will be allowed his prin
cipal and Interest and the surplus after
paying for the advertisements must go
to the persons who would have been
entitled to redeem the chattels.
The usual regulations giving police
authority to examine the records of
pawnbrokers also are prescribed. A
license fee of $500 is provided, the
money to go to the city In which the
pawnshop is conducted.
TAX COLLECTION IS ISSCE

STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Feb. 1.
(Special.) Shall the Sheriffs of the
countiea be restored a the tax collect

in the hands of the County Treasurers?
is a question that must be settled be
fore a series of bills now before the
Mouse can be disposed of.
The Issue was broueht to a head this
morning when the bill to increase the
salary of the County Treasurer of Clat

a year was up for third reading.

this point.
WIDOW'S EXEMPTION KEPT
Innocent-Looking but Sweeping Bill
Killed by House.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or., Feb. 1
(Special.) The House this afternoon
made short work of Representative
Thomas Brown's bill to change the
present widows' exemption law by de
feating the measurs with a decisive
vote. The bill, when read by the clerk,
sounded innocent-like, as it provided
that all personal property of widows
be exempted from execution.
Representatives Schuebel, Lewis, Lit-
tlefield and Barrow were quick to point
that the word "personal" was the only
change made in the present law ana
that all of a widow's property, real
estate and chattels, as well as personal,
now are exempted. Had the bill gone
throueh. a widows personal property
alone would have been exempted and
all other property would have been
subjected to execution.
LABOR LOSES 3 BILLS
INDORSED MEASURE AGAINST "STA.
TIOX WORK" DIES I" HOUSE.
Attempt to Fix Liability for Injury
on Owners, Too, Fails Demand for
Day's Rest in Seven 'Defeated.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Feb. 1.
(Special.) Three more of the bills
introduced by Representative Oscar w
Home, of Portland, and indorsed by
the State Federation of Labor failed
to get past the House this morning.
One was postponed indefinitely mean
ing that it was put to sleep beyond
possible reawakening, another was
amended and another was rereferred.
Mr. Home made a determined effort
to save one of his measures the one
compelling contractors on public works
to enforce the eight-hour law more
scrupulously.
The bill is aimed particularly at sta
tion work" or contract labor through
which groups of workingmen are en
abled to work more than eight hours a
day on the ground that they are work
ing for themselves.
This system is a mere subterfuge
on the part of big contractors," de
clared Home. "They want to get
around the eight-hour law and enter
into some kind of a contract that
has the appearance of making the
laborer a sub-contractor. Under this
arrangement, the men work as long as
10. 12 or 16 hours a day. The State
Commissioner of Labor cannot reach
them because they put up the plea
that they are working for themselves.
This is in direct violation of the
eight-hour law. It brings these sta
tion men or sub-contractors, as they
call themselves, into direct competition
with the man who is working by the
day."
The measure already has been
amended and may pass with some
further changes.
The bill that was postponed was
one to make owners of property as
well as the contractors liable for dam
ages sustained by workingmen. There
was much opposition to this bill on
the ground that a man building a house
under contract might be made to pay
for the carelessness or the unscrupu
lousness of a contractor. The bill was
sent into the discard and Home in
sisted on a rollcall but the speaker
ruled that he was too late with his
request.
The third measure is the one provid-
ng one day's rest in seven for all
classes of employes excepting janitors.
watchmen, firemen, animal keepers and
some bakery employes. This bill was
rereferred for amendments.

60-DAY SESSION PLAN LOST
House Turns Down Resolution of
.Mr. Lewis, Who Tries Again.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Feb. 1.
(Special.) Representative Lewis' plan,
to change the limit on legislative ses
sions from 40 to 0 days was defeated
in the House this afternoon. His res
olution made the pay of the legislators

recess of 14 days after the fortieth
day, to consider bills, but without pay.
After the House turned down the
resolution Lewis offered another pro
viding that sessions in the House be

Sidelights of Session
STATE CAPITAL, Salem, Or., Feb. 1.
(Special.) W. J. Mariner. of
Blalock, sometimes known as "the
father of the open river movement,"
has been a legislative visitor for the
ast few days.
IV". F. Jackson, of Sherman Countji a
former member of the House, has been
an interested attendant at the Legis
lative proceedings in the last few days.
By a peculiar coincidence. James S.
Stewart, who now represents the same
district formerly represented by Mr.
Jackson, occupies the identical seat in
the House.
' Samuel Paisley, of the Washington
County delegation, with a group of
other 'House members, visited the in
sane asylum on Sunday and met with
a peculiar experience.
As the visitors were being conducted
through the various departments of the
institution Representative Anderson, of
Astoria, noticed that Paisley was miss
ing. The party retraced their steps
and soon found Paisley in a ward with
a score or more of Insane women. He
had been locked in accidentally and
suffered nearly half an -hour of, dis
comfort before he was discovered.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Feb. 1.
(Special.) At least four bills pro
viding for the reorganization of the
Fish and Game Department oi me siaie
and nearly a score of others proposing
various changes in the game laws are
pending in the House, and every one
Is expected to cause more or ies
trouble.
Th movement io place the revenues
of the Fish and Game Department in
the general fund of the state has been
attracting much attention, and it is
probable that these measures will get
a large share of discussion through
the remaining weeks of the session.
Renresentative Scheubel has intro
duced two bills carrying such a provi-
ion. One is the-general fund consoli
dation bill, No. 35, on the House cal
endar, which is on the table pending
action of bill No. 101, which will be
un on third reading in a few days.
Measure No. 101 also provides specif
ically that the fish and game fund
shall be placed in the general fund.
It also proposes to abolish the Fish
and Game Commission as constituted,
nd to substitute therefor a commis
sion consisting of the Governor, the
game 'warden and the master fish
warden. Both these otricers are to
be appointed by the Governor and each
is to receive a salary of $1800 a year.
Compromise Act Offered.
Representative Vawter. of Jackson
County, is the author of a measure
that proposes a compromise on the
question of distributing the funds. He
would have the County Clerks retain
ne-half of the money collected for
fish and game licenses and send the
remaining half to the State Treasurer
to be used exclusively for the propaga
tion of fish and game under direction
of the Commission.
Representative Ritner has introduced
a bill providing for the reduction of
the Game Commission from five to
three members, all to be appointed by
the Governor. These commissioners
would appoint the game warden and
the fish warden. One commissioner
would have to live east of the Cascade
Mountains. The commissioners would
receive iro salary, but would get a
dav when attending meetings and mile
age. The aggregate of their per diem
charges and mileage would be limited
to a maximum of $150 a year, each.
The license fees would be collected in
the counties, but the money would go
into the State Treasury to the credit
of the "game protection account." An
other provision would exempt women
from paying licenses. The limit for
boys permitted to hold licenses would
be raised from 14 years to 3 6 years.
Representative Davey would have a
state fish warden, representing the
state at large, and a game warden for
the western part of the state and an
other for the eastern part. The three
would administer the fish and game
affairs and receive salaries of $2000
each. There would be no other, commis
sioner under his plan. The wardens
would have exclusive jurisdiction over
all revenues from fish and game li
censes, but would be required to keep
two separate funds, one for game pro
tection and the other for fish hatch
eries. Pheasants Subject of Bill.
Representative Gill, whose bill is No.
16, would make it permissible to shoot
two female China pheasants in a bag
of five and would prohibit the shooting
of deer in August. He also would per
mit the killing of China pheasants in
Union County from October 1 to Octo
ber 10, but would have no open sea
son on these birds in Josephine, Coos
or Curry counties.
Representative Lewis has two inter
esting bills one to prohibit the use
of dsn wheels or fish traps and the
other to abolish fishing for salmon in
the Columbia River east of Cascade
Locks.
Another bill, by Representative
Davey, would fix the open season for
ducks, geese, rails and coots in Har
ney, Lake. Grant and Malheur coun
ties from September 1 to December 31
and from March 1 to April 15, and the
open season on sage hens from July
15 to August 31.
Representative Clark has a bill to
make it permissible to offer for sale
ducks, geese, rails and coots killed in
Wasco. Sherman. Gilliam, Morrow and
Umatilla counties. Representative
Barrow has a bill to extend the game
season in the Coquille Valley.
Pro-Bank Bill Passes.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or.. Feb. 1.
( Special.) Representative Stanf ield's
bill limiting the liability of a bank for
non-payment of a check through error
was passed by the House this after
noon. The measure provides that no
bank shall be liable for non-payment
of a check through error by one of
its employes unless the depositor can
prove that actual damage has been
done, and then only to the extent of
the damage that can be proved. Rep
resentative Stanflid explained that the
act is a necessary expedient to protect
the banks.
House this afternoon passed Represen
tative Allen's bill appropriating $4819.90
to meet the deficit in the fund for
sending 88 Civil War veterans to the
reunion of the Battle of Gettysburg at
Gettysburg, Va., in July, 1913. The
1913 Legislature appropriated $5000 for
this purpose on the representation of
the veterans themselves that this sura
would be sufficient. More than the
expected number of Gettysburg sur
vivors made the trip and the expense
was greater.

House Has Resolution to Put Annex
ation to Portland on -Ballot.
STATE CAPJTOL, Salem. Or., Feb. 1.
(Special.) Initial steps for the con
solidation of the governments of the
City of Portland and the County of
Multnomah were taken today when
Representative Lewis, of St. Johns, in
troduced a resolution tn the House pro
posing a constitutional amendment to

Measure Provides fr Card Index Sys
tem to Keep Track of Electors
In Every County.
STATU CAPITOL, Saiem, Feb. 1.
(Special.) Permanent registration of
voters and compulsory voting are pro
vided for in a bill passed in the House
this afternoon. The measure was in
troduced in the House by the joint com.
mittee on judiciary and revision of
laws and combined the essential fea
tures of bills previously submitted by
Representative Kuehn, of Portland, and
the Marion County delegation. Under
its provisions the clerks are required to
keep a card index system for the regis
tered voter's. When a person registers
the record becomes permanent and can
bo used indefinitely at future elections.
If a voter moves from one precinct to
another within the same county or de
sires to change his or her political af
filiation it will be necessary only to ad
vise the County Clerk. To accommo
date voters who move from one county
tn another, the County Clerks are
authorized to send the cards from one-
to another upon request.
Naturalized citizens will not be re
quired to show their naturalization
papers at the time they' register. They
will be required only to swear that
they are naturalized and give the dales
in connection therewith.
Residents of county-seat towns will
have to register with the County Clerk.
Others will be able to register with of
ficials appointed forthat purpose and
who will receive 10 cents for each name
registered.
A change also is made for the accom
modation of persons not registered. In
.Multnomah County it will be necessary
to have the signature of six taxpayers
to the affidavit that the applicant is en
titled to vote, but in the up-state coun
ties only two such signatures will be
necessary.
The section that virtually provides
compulsory voting requires the County
Clerks to remove a person's name from
the registration lists if the person has
not voted within two years. This pro
vision also will prevent any use of the
names of dead persons and persons who
have left the state by others who are
not entitled to vote.
There was no opposition to the mcas
iro in the House. It was pointed out
by Mr. Kuehn that the law will save the
counties or tne state conecuvwiy mwi
than $100,000 every two years.
