PROVISIONS OF DRY
BILL ARE OPPOSED
Several Members of House to
Object to Measure and
May Face Changes.
TWO PARTS SINGLED OUT
I.rliinz Public Sec Affidavits of
Those Who Get Liquor and Ex
empting of Clergymen From
Bau Is Objection.
STATE CAPITOL Salem. Or... Feb. 4
(Special.) It is apparent that the
prohibition bill that is scheduled as a
special order of business in the House
at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, will
not have smooth sailing after all.
Determined opposition is developing
union; tho House memoers ana it is
barely possible that this element will
have enough votes to send the measure
bark to the committee for amendment.
The opposition does not want to ae
eet the bill and there is no organized
movement in that direction, for the
sentiment of the House la overwhelm
ingly in favor of prohibition, inasmuch
as the state returned a majority of
more than 36.000 votes on the "dry"
aide last November. '
But a growing number of House
members are dissatisfied with two
arxM-ific? provisions of the bill as it
stands. These provisions are:
section 12. which requires persons
who have liquor shipped in from other
states for private and domestic use to
sign an affidavit to the effect that the
liquor has been received and makes
these affidavits subject to inspection
lv n v citizen.
. A paragraph in the same section that
will allow clergymen to import all the
liquor they want "for sacramental pur
poses." "
Shipments Are Opposed.
There is considerable opposition also
to the terms of the pending measure
that permit any citizen to ship in either
2 ouarts of beer or two quarts of
whlskv every 30 days for private use.
A few. a very few. members think this
limit is not enough and a great many
members think there should be no im
portations whatever.
ltepresentative Paisley, of Washing
ton County, who was opposed for elec
tion by the "drys," says that he does
not consider himself obligated to vote
for tho bill, although he is willing to
Kivc prohibition a chance. He opposes,
also, tho provision that will allow
every scandalmonger" to examine the
records and see who is receiving liquor.
Representative Al Jones, of Joseph,
snys he is going to get up on the floor
of the House about 10 minutes after i
o'clock tomorrow and "shoot the pend-
"The people of my district want ab
solute prohibition. They want the
demon rum driven entirely from the
state." he said. "They don't think it
right to allow the rich man to ship it
in by the case and the preacher to ship
it in by the barrel if he wants to. Let's
cut it out altogether. 1 am willing.
Bill Called Toe Prolix.
Representative Handley.v of Tilla
mook. who ran for election on a plat
f.irm "a little inclined to be wet," says
he will vote" for a prohibition bill in
accordance with the constitutional
amendment. He thinks the pending
bill too prolix.
Representative Cardwell, of Hose
burg, is another who is not quite sat
isfied with the bill in its present form,
although he expects, probably, to vote
for it.
"But I guess you'll hear me discuss
It a little bit before the roll is called."
he said.
It is hard telling what Representa
tive Lewis, of St. Johns, will do. He
is a member of the alcohoiic committee
and has contended right along that he
is "dryer than the bill or the consti
tutional amendment."
On the othi-r hand. Representative
Anderson, of The Dalles, who intro
duced the measure, and other prohibi
tion leaders in the House declare that
the movement to en:irt an airtight bill
is due to the activity of the "wets."
The bill in that form will be referred
to the people and defeated at the polls,
they declare, and that is precisely
what the lUiuor interests want.
Amendment Terms Cited.
The provision allowing residents of
tho state to ship in liquor for domestic
use. they say. is to comply with the
amendment, which was so worded to
permit "distribution" within the state.
blven those members who are op
posing the present bill declare that
they are in favor of a substitute meas
ure that will give prohibition a fair
and complete trial In the state. It is
probable that they will argue out this
point tomorrow afternoon before the
rollcall.
While it is doubtful whether the op
position is strong enough to defeat the
bill, the effort to procure a unanimous
Tote in its favor has been vain.
A large party of prohibitionists is
expected here tomorrow afternoon,
when tho measure comes up on third
reading. Owing to a premature an
nouncement that the bill would be con
sidered this afternoon, instead of to
morrow afternoon, the lobby was
crowded when the session opened at 2
o'clock today, but Speaker Selling an
nounced that the bill would not be up
for 24 hours and invited the people to
return then.
BREWERS PLEAD lOlt LIFE
Appeal Made to Supply Beer Dry Act
Allows in State.
STATU CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Feb, 4.
(Special.) The liquor interests came
out into the open tonight on the eve
of the tinal consideration of the prohi
bition bill in the House and made a
plea for recognition. Their plans pro
vide simply that the breweries already
operating in the state be permitted to
operate after the prohibition law goes
into effect for the purpose of delivering
to residents of the state the quantities
of beer that the proposed law provides.
Representative Thomas Brown, of
Marion County, has been entrusted with
the brewers' programme.
"My only reason for taking an inter
est in this thing is to protect the hop
industry," said Mr. Brown.

State Land Assessment and Right
to Sell Surplus Waterpower.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb.' 4.
(Soeclal.) Three distinct victories
were won in the House by the irriga
tionists, as two of the irrigation bills
were passed on third reading and an
other that was defeated a rew nays ago
rnrjilled. reconsidered, amended
and Dassed.
House bill 29S. one of those passca
on third reading, would give-the state
the nower to purchase irrigation bonds

nnon them. It will not be permissible,

of private irrigation projects, but only

The measure that was recalled was

GAME LAW FIXE BILL PASSED

STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or.. Feb. 4.
(Special.) All fines and penalties
collected from violators of the game
laws will remain in the treasuries of
tho counties in which they are paid, by
terms of Representative Hare's bill
passed by the House this morning.

Help the Stomach
Digest Your Food
When the stomach falls to di
gest and distribute that which
is eaten, the bowels become
clogged with a mass of waste and
refuse that ferments and gener
ates poisons that are gradually
forced into the blood, causing
distress and often serious ill
ness. Most people naturally object
to the drastic cathartic and
purgative agents that shock the
system. A mild, gentle laxative,
positive In its effect and that will
quickly relieve constipation is
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, sold
by druggists at fifty cents and
one dollar a bottle. It does not
gripe or cramp, but acts easily
and pleasantly and is therefore
the most satisfactory remedy for
children, women and elderly per- .
sons. For a free trial bottle write

Truce Slerely Removes Nimrod Li
censes as Main Issue Fight Now
to Be on Consolidation
of All Funds.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Feb. 4.
(Special.) By eliminating the provi
sion to consolidate the state fish and
game fund with the general fund it
is probable that the House tomorrow
morning will pass the Schuebel bill
providing a general fund for all state
moneys and revenues.
This does not mean, however, that
Representative Schuebel has given up
his fight to abolish the fish and game
fund as a separate fund. It indicates
that the membership of the House Is
agreed on the general policy of creat
ing a general fund and that the hill
can be passed without making the
fish and game fund an issue in this
particular bill.
Two other bills proposing nnai op
position of the fish and game fund will
remain before the House. One is
Schuebel bill No. 101 to abolish the
fish and game commission and combine
the fund with the general fund, and
the other is a bill to be Introduced Dy
the game committee providing con
tinuation of the fund, with a probable
division of the money between the
commission and the counties. The issue
finally will be fought out on these two
measures. One will be passed and the
other will be defeated.
The general fund bill has been
scheduled as a special order of busi
ness for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
It is accepted as" part of the so-called
economy programme. It provides for
a consolidation of all the state moneys
Into one general fund with the ex
ception of the funds of the following
state departments: Soldiers' Home.
Optometry Examiners, Barber Examin
ers, Dental Examiners, Medical Ex
aminers, Library Contingency, State
School Library, Motor Vehicle, State
Fair, Industrial Accident, Segregated
Accident and Pharmacy Board.
When the bill was recalled from the
Senate last week it was laid on- the
table pending disposition of House bill
101, but Representative Schuebel
reached a private agreement today with
Representative Vawter, who made the
motion to table the measure, and Rep
resentative Gill, who is championing
the cause of sportsmen in the House,
to take the bill up, amend it and pass
it. With that understanding the fol
lowing amendment has been framed
and doubtless will be incorporated in
the bill in committee of the whole
tomorrow morning:
'All the money received from
hunters' and anglers' licenses hereto
fore paid into the game protection fund
and all money received from licenses
paid into hatchery fund district No. 1
and hatchery fund district No. 2 shall
be subject to the order of the fish and
game commission as by law provided."
The foregoing term "by law pro
vided," will be Interpreted by all in
terests to mean whatever law the Leg
islature enacts governing disposition
of the fund.
COLLEGE BILL FIGHT IS DfE
Opposition Is Expected to Have Ef
fect on Special Work.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or.. Feb 4.
(Special.) A bill that is expected to
arouse considerable opposition will be
up for third reading In the House to
morrow. It is Representative Schue
bel's measure to require the Oregon
Agricultural College to carry certain
special work heretofore provided for
by continuing appropriations from the
proceeds of the milage tax.
The several special duties that this
bill requires them to perform and the
amount of money to be expended in
each are: Public institutes of instruc
tion in farm work. $2500: experiment
station at Corvallis, $10,000: investiga
tion of fruit pests, $15,000; for school
garden work, $6000; seed testing, $1000,
a total of $34,500.
It is expected that friends of the
college will oppose this measure, as
they contend that the proceeds from the
village t-tx will not be sufficient to do
this extra work. Under the present
law the college receives the proceeds
from a 4-10-mlll tax levy on all the as
sessed property of the state. Receipts
from this source approximate $337,000
annually.
