When this bill came up today, the House summarily disposed of a series of other bills intended to reorganize the Fish and Game Department. One of them was Representative Schuebel's famous Xo. 101, whlr-n aimed to aDous.i tha Commission entirely and turn all the money over to the State Treasurer t.att nf th s-eneral fund. Mr. Schuebel was out of the room at the time this action was taken, ana ..,.,., intnrmsil nf it. after adjournment. warned the members that he would insist on a reconsideration at J o cioi tomorrow morninir.

The plan is somewhat similar, however. Plagiarism la C'harced. "The Senate committee stole our thunder." says Chairman-Jones, of the House game committee. The House bill provides for five com missioners, the same as at present, no more than three of whom shall live in either Western Oregon or Kastern Ore son. All members shall not be mem bers of the same political party. The Governor will have powor to appoint all five members. Under the present law the Governor appoints four mem bers and they elect the fifth. The measure provides for u state same war den, a master fish warden and a superintendent of the educational and biological department "and all neces sary clerks and deputies." The salary of none of these officials Is to exceed S'J400 a year and some members of the House will question whether or not this salary can apply to the clerks and the deputies. If the law Is so interpreted they will protest, as they think that is too much money for that class of state employes.

R-Irrrtalve Cardfrrll CrltfclKen State Arckltect and Spg-ffeti.a Rod for v Vayard Youtba. STATE CAPITOU Salem, -Or.f Feb 1-. (Special.) With Representative Huston, of Portland, wielding: the whip. the House this afternoon passed the appropriation bill, carrying: $49,200 for maintenance and support of the Girls' Industrial Home for the next two years. This carries an Hera of $15,000 tor new cottaaes. It was against the cottage appropria tion that the House made its only pro tst. Various members charged that state Architect Knighton had been profligate in his plans for the present buildings and they did not want to give him the responsibility of further expenditures. "1 am for this home all right," said Representative 'Bill" Card well, of Kosebur, "but we are entirely too good to those wayward girls. ' e ouht to set a rawhide and arive them a switching- once In a while. That would do some good.' Chairman "obbt of the ways and means com m if tee. defended the State Architect, but Representative Cardwell tiered him nothing; but terms of dis gust. "The trouble is that he doesn't play his cards square," he said, "and no one will so Ions as we have a bunch of legislators like you fellows, who come here every two years and give them all the money they want. He reviewed the appropriation for the Supreme Court building1 which he said cost more than twice as mucTI us the original estimates. The appropriation measure went throuuh with a decisive majority. Sidelights of the Session STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or.. Feb. 12. (Special.) One kind lobbying to which no one has offered objection was manifested in the House this morn ing. It was while the Huston bill to amend the laws relating to women's property riffhts was under rollcall, and the clerk called the name of Repre sentative Weeks. "When the bill first came up, he said. "I didn't know how to vote. I could have flipped a coin and voted either way. "But this morning I have my wife here with me and she tells me to vote against it, so I vote 'no.' " Fred McIIenry, of Corvallis, visited this morning1 with Representative Michelbook. They- wtre students to gether at the Oregon Agricultural Col lege a few years ago. , The Twenty-eifrhth District, com prising Gilliam and Wheeler counties, wan well represented in the House this morning". In addition to Representa tives Clark and Stewart there were present W. B. Potter, of Wheeler County, and W. J. Mariner, of Gilliam County, who represented th district two years ago and four years ago re spectively. W A. Robbins, ex-president of the Portland Transportation Club, accom panied by Mrs. Robbins. visited the House yesterday.

Petition peddling and all ita attending' evils would be reduced to a minimum throutrh the operations of Representative Olson's bill that the House passed today with only a lew dissenting votes. , The measure not only aims to elim inate the persistent petition hawker, but is intended to put a quietus on the primary candidate who doesn't know when he is fairly and squarely whipped as well. It will prevent any person who is defeated lor a primary nomina tion from becoming an independent candidate or from accepting the nomi nation of another party for the same office. This Is the same bill that was up before the House a few weeks ago and that was sent back to committee for amendment because some of the up state members feared it Interfered with the "people's rights as written into the direct primary law." Flat Kee Retained. In Its original form the measure fixed a flat fee that any primary can didate might pay to have his or her name printed on the ballot. It would have ended nomination by petition entirely. Many members protested against the principle of placing a price upon an onice. They pointed out mat if the Legislature has power to fix the price that it would be possible to make the price so high as to oe prohibitive to the poor man. Representative Olson therefore con sented to redrafting the bill so that nomination by petition might be op tional with aspiring office holders. The flat rate feature is retained, however. Following are some of the rates that it provides: United States Senator, J150: all state officers, $100; Representatives in Con gress, $100; all offices in districts em bracing more than one county, ex cepting Senators and Representatives In the Legislature, $50; for member of the Legislature. $10; for all candi dates for county offices, excepting dis trict office within the county, $20; for National committeemen, delegates to National party conventions and Presi dential electors. $15; all district offices within a county, $10; precinct commit teemen, $1. Objection la Illustrated. Representee Olson, in his argument in behalf of the bill today, exhibited his own primary nominating petition which was so voluminous that he could hardly lift it above his head. He said it cost him precisely $36 in addition to so much signing of his name that It nearly gave him writer's cramp. In its amended form the bill contains a Drovision that all candidates for pri mary nominations, whether by the petition route or by cash payment, must take oath as follows: If I am not nominated I will not accept the nomination or indorsement of any party other 1 than the one in which I am registered." While this will prevent persons wno are defeated in their own party pri maries from becoming independent candidates, it will not prohibit anyone who is nominated from accepting all the other party nominations obtainable. The original bill required a candi date, at the time of flllns his nominat ing fee. to take oath to support the successful candidate in case of defeat. This was another provision against which vigorous objection was made. in its amended form as passed today It was stricken out. IIOCSE 1MSPOKKS OF. 37 BILLS Of 4 74 Meusures Introduced 137 Are Left for Action. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or.. Feb. 12. (Special.)

PROHIBITION" BILIi HAS FOES Two Senators Known to Contemplate Attack but Passage Expected. STATE CAPTTOL, Salem, Or.. Feb. 12. (Special. The prohibition bill, passed by the House, with a few slight amendments, was made a special order for 2 o'clock Tuesday by the Senate today. While the Senate committee on alcholio traffic was unanimous in re porting the House bill, with. the few minor amendments, .favorably, it was believed tonight that sentiment against the bill was ' developing, which may manifest itself when it is placed on its final passage. v The committee has ' removed" the words "or . family" from the clause, limiting shipments so that any mem ber of a family who is of age may order beer, wine or whisky. Although urged to do so. the committee declined to insert clauses giving any citizen rightito file injunction suits, it being held that the present laws were sui ficient for the necessary prosecutions. ELY TAX BILL MISED SALARY REVISION BALKS PLAX TO HAVE TREASURER COLLECT. Pleasure Restoring; Power to Sheriffs Passed by 39 to 21 In House After Week In Olseard. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) By a vote of 39 to 21 the House this morning rescinded' its action of a week ago, and passed Representa tive Kelly's bill to restore the tax col lecting duty to the Sheriffs of the va rious counties. This will relieve the Legislature of a lot of complicated and unpleasant work, and will obviate the necessity of increasing the salaries of many County Treasurers. Two years ago the Legis lature took the duty away from the Sheriffs and placed it with the Treas urers. Manv of the smaller counties have contended, since then, that the increased uties have become burdensome to the Treasurers, who, as a rule, are not highly paid, while the Sheriff, who gen erally is paid a fair salary, has not enough to do to keep him busy. Last week the Kelly bill came up in the House and was amended so that the Treasurer would continue as the tax collecting officer. A special committee was appointed to draw up a set of bills to increase- the salary of every County Treasurer in the state, and to reduce the salary of every Sheriff to conform with their respective changes In duties. This caused such a protest to go up from the Sheriffs that the com mittee gave up in despair. The following is the vote: Aves A. A. Anderson. J. E. Anderson, Blanchard, Bowman, Sam H. Brown, cart mill, Clark, Cobb, Davey, Elmore, Fenwick, Forbes, Gill, Handley, Hare, Hinkle, Home, Hurlburt.

Dlllard, Eaton, Grler, Hunt Jeffries, Lafferty, Lewis, Porter, Risley, Schuebel, w. O. Smith, Miss Towne, Wagner, Wentworth and Woodell ill.. Representatives Irvin, Jones and others who represent two counties were placed in the peculiar dilemma of hav ing one county favor the Sheriff as the tax collector and the other favor the Treasurer. BILL TO CHANGE STATUS OP PROP ERTY LOST IX HOUSE. bea ra th bill property and in the interests of which Mlsst Towne Supports Mr. Huston's Measure, but Majority Thinks Present Law More Liberal. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) Married women in Ore gon will continue to hav the same rights in their husband's property that they now have, but no more. This . fact was established by the House this morning when it defeated Representative Huston's bill "providing that property acquired after marriage otherwise than by gift, bequest, devise or descent shall be community prop erty." The author of the measure spoke earnestly in favor of it. He declared that it would confer a right upon women that the state long has neglect ed to give them and pointed out-that the women of the state were behjnd the bill. "Do you mean to threaten us with the loss of the women's vote if we fail to pass it?" demanded Dr. Andrew C. Smith. "No. I am just telling you what the women want," explained Mr. Huston, smilingly. Representative Schuebel led the op position. He insisted that the present laws relating to the property rights of women give the women more advan tage than the Huston bill aimed to give them. He said that the proposed, law would deny a woman any interest in the property of the men at the time of marriage and that he could sell it, be queath it or give it away without her consent. Ho contended that the pres ent law places th6 man and wife on a co-partnership basis If they elect to take advantage of it. Miss Towne spoke briefly in favor of the bill. She said that it proposed a change that would have to be made sooner or later, anyway. Washington, California and other states now have similar laws, she pointed out. It seemed that every" one was in fa vor of doing what would most benefit the women, but a large majority of members evidently thought the present law provides the- greatest benefit.
