THE MORNIXG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 13, 1915. E VOTE LETS GOVERNOR PICK MEN Resolution on Deleaates for Western States' Convention Opposes Senate Action. REJECTION NOT UNLIKELY Original Measure Kevlsed by Com mittee and Indorsement for I'er ris Bill Omitted States to Discuss Their Own Xceds. STATE CAP1TOU ialcm. Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) In direct opposition to the desires of the Senate, the House this afternoon adopted the Ferris bill reso lution with amendments providing that the delegates to the proposed conven tion of 'Western states be appointed by the Governor instead of elected by the two houses of the Legislature. The resolution came over from the donate last week containing the pro ' vision that two .if the delegates to the proposed convention be chosen by the Senate and three by the House. The Senate had devoted considerable time to the discussion of this point, some of the members of the Senate insisting at the time that the delegates should be named by the Governor. The resolution came over to the House and went directly to the reso lutions committee composed of Repre sentatives Handley, Ritner. Irvin. Hare and Davey.. This committee worked on it for more than a week and reported it back tonight with the amendment. Committee Report Adopted. The House promptly adopted the committee s report without debate and then adopted the entire resolution as amended with but few votes against It. -There is no disposition on our part to go against the wishes of the Senate, said Representative Hare, of t..e reso lutions committee, tonight, bu; we be lieve Oregon's representatives to this convention should be named by the Governor and not by the Legislature. We ought to pay this compliment to the governor. As the resolution provides that the delegates from each of the other states to be represented at the meeting shall l.e named by tho Governor in the event tho Legislature is not in session, the Oregon delegates likewise should come from the Governor, inasmuch as most . of the Legislatures will not be in ses sion by the time the invitations reach them." , , . , , . r . i. untitf. tonlrrht lndl- .ueraDeia " . . . . . rated that the Senate may refuse to concur in the action of the House. As the resolution went through the House this afternoon with an almost unani mous vote. It is probable that there will be difficulty in the event an attempt is made to induce the House to restore the resolution to the form in which It came from the Senate. Career la Checkered. This resolution has had an interest ing career. It made its first appearance in the form of an indorsement of the Kerns bill now before the National Congress, which aims to give the Fed eral Government still further control over the waterpower of the West. Sena tor Kellaher was the author. When It emerged from the Senate committee the resolution was in an en tirely new dress. All trace of an In dorsement for the Ferris bill was gone. Instead appeared the plan to call a convention of delegates from the states of Oregon. Washington. Idaho. Mon tana. Colorado. California. Wyoming, I'tah. Nevada. South Dakota and North nnk.it a. "for the purpose of declaring In more specific detail the principles which the waterpower and public land states of the West deem a just and equitable basis for developing their re sources." The resolution carried an invitation to the Legislatures .of each of these states to appoint five delegates, and specified that if any of thfse Legisla tures does not convene before the con vention is held, the Governor of such state shall name the representatives. The Governor of Oregon was empow ered to tix the date for the meeting. The House accepted the principle of the resolution and made no change other than to give the Legislature, in stead of the Governor, the power to name the delegates.

Xeed of Haste in Shearing Power of Executive Xot Seen and He Ques tion Constitutionality. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Feb. 12. (Special.) Governor Lister announced today his- definlte determination to veto at least the emergency clause of House bin o. the McArdle bill, taking control of the State Land Board from the executive deoartment. It is my belief that the amxing oi this clause, which declares the act necessary for the immediate preserva tion of the public peace and safety and support of the state government, is so much a misstatement as to amount at least to an evasion of the state con stitution." said the Governor. "No rea. son whatever has been advanced by the bill's supporters for the emergency clause, and 1 can see none." Whether the entire bill will be vetoed or merely the emergency clause was not Indicated by the Governor. It also is unsettled whether he will veto the accompanying McArdle measure. House bill 55. reorganizing the State Board of Equalization so as to take it out of executive control. This bill does not carry the emergency clause and its amendment was forced in the Senate so that it does not entirely bar the bill as finally passed, allowing the Gov ernor to designate a member of the Public Service Commission to represent him. Practically the entire Legislature left at 12 o clock today for beattle on a cruise arranged by the Seattle Yacht Club, which brought its fleet of motor- boats here for the solons, Governor Lister being left behind to settle the questions presented by the McArdle bills. Lincoln day exercises were held by the houses in Joint session this morn ing. Governor Lister presiding. ROAD TAX STAYS SAME EFFORT TO INCREASE LEVY TO HALF MILL LOSES BY 2 VOTES. Reconsideration May Be Attempted by Mr. Vavrter, bat Success Unlikely, as 40 Votes Are Needed. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or. Feb. 12. (Special.) Economy was tho watch word in the House this afternoon when the plan to increase the state road tax from quarter of a mill to half a mill was defeated by the narrow margin of two votes. Representative Vawter, who support ed the bill to Increase the tax, changed his vote from yes to no, before the re sult was announced so that he may move to reconsider. But as the question was decided on a motion to postpone in definitely, suspension of the rules, re quiring 40 affirmative votes, will be necessary. It is doubtful, therefore, whether the measure can be resur rected. On the fate of this measure also hinges the destiny of Representative Vawter's bill to procure one-fifth of the state road fund for completion of the Pacific Highway in Jackson County. That bill was tabled a few days ago pending decision on the tax bill. The action of the House today will have the effect of leaving the state road tax at quarter of a mill, which brings about J240.006 a year into the State Treasury. XIGHT SESSIONS BEGIN MONDAY Senate Sets Three Bills as Special Or der of Business. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Feb. 12. (Special.)

The chief incident of the evening was the declaration by Colonel H. H.

Heated debate developed in the Senate in an attempt to pass Senate bill No. 67, seeking to turn the Academy of Idaho at Pocatello into the Idaho Technical Institute, making, it a junior college with a two-year course, a plan of the State Board of Education. The meas ure was on third reading. It was' at tacked by Senators Day, of Latah, and Frazier, of Kootenai, and defended by Elliott, of Bonner, and Mendenhall, of Bannock. The act succeeded In raising the old biennial educational fight. Senators Day and Frazier said It was a move to establish a second state university and would injure the University of Idaho at Moscow. The Senate passed the anti-commission government measure by a vote of 21 to 11. Both houses adjourned in honor of the anniversary of the birthday of President Lincoln. Members of the Legislature and prom inent Republican Representatives of all parts of the state tonight participated in the annual Lincoln day banquet held under the auspices of the Idaho Lincoln Day Association at the Owyhee Hotel.

NEUTRAL ENVOYS APPROVE (Continued From First Page.) ment would be followed In a joint pro test to both Germany and Great Britain by three Scandinavian countries, as well as separate representations from the other neutrals of Europe. Cases Held Dissimilar. Discussing comments on differences in the two notes, high officials of the Government said the cases were not parallel, as the United States had lit tle ground in international law for protest against the occasional use of a neutral flag by a belligerent when escaping capture, and even the objec tions voiced against the general mis use of the neutral ensign could be raised only on general moral principles or on the ground of unneighborliness and serious Inconvenience, rather than on any definite rule of international law. ' As for the communication to Ger many. Administration officials who helped prepare the document empha sized the point that the American Gov ernment proceeded on the firm ground of international right, as .it has been a long-established principle, they said, based on innumerable precedents, that a merchant vessel without means of protecting itself must be visited first by an enemy warship and given an opportunity to surrender or save its passengers before violence is applied. Again it wan declared that tne ne cessity tar a strong warning" was most compelling, lest the sinking of an American vessel or loss or Amer ican lives give rise to a critical situa tion with alarming possibilities. Interest in the situation waa height ened by the addition of another diplo matic difficulty with Germany over the interference by German military au thorities with mail communication of American Minister Van Dyke between The Hague and Luxemburg. A formal inquiry was sent to Berlin concerning the incident and officials hoped it would be satisfactorily adjusteo. rely ing on the uniform courtesy hitherto manifested by the German government in dealing wtih Minister Whttlock at Brussels and other American officials in the war zones. lCXECTRAL POSSIBILITY CITED German Newspaper Sees Significance or Note to Berlin.

Plea That Treasurer Should Get Job in Multnomah Kalis on Deaf Ears, and Exemption la Denied. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb.12. (Special.) Despite a strong fight made by Chairman Perkins, of the Sen ate committee on assessment and taxa tion, the Senate committee tonight de cided to report back favorably the bill which has passed the House malting the Sheriff collector of all the taxes. Mr. Perkins contended in his fight that the Treasurer should be made collector of taxes in Multnomah County and of fered to the committee a motion to exempt counties of more than 100,000 population from the provisions of the bill, but he was over-ridden after con siderable argument. It was pointed out in the argument that the Attorney-General had ruled that such an exemption as suggested by Senator Perkins would be unconsti tutional, and a number of members of the committee eaid they would agree to the Perkins amendment but for the fact that It might invalidate the entire bill. As a result, the bill will gro into the Senate placing the entire matter of tax collection in the hands of the Sheriff. T-t. .nn.mittett tnnipht nlsn decided to report unfavorably on Fenwick's pro posal to place a measure on uio .v. amending the constitution so that Mex ican War and Civil War veterans might be exempt from taxation to the amount of $1000. The committee decided to in troduce several bills which will come in tomorrow, providing for some changes in the detail of the laws relat ing to the duties of County Assessors, and also decided to report unfavorably on a number of House -bills, including those relating to changes in the listing of property by Assessors and a plan to place an ad valorem tax on the highest value of a stock of merchandise dur ing any one year.

We see the heroic work of nurses who are on duty day and night. There is devotion, self-sacrifice, suffering patriotism qualities which only a great war and its terrible con sequences can inspire to the highest de velopment. The women everywhere are helping and everywhere one sees self-sacrifice and devotion to country. The women of the United States do not know how fortunate they are. Here there are plenty of women who suffer in silence, whose strength is out of proportion to their ambition. Their hands are tied by some chronic dis ease common to womankind; that weak back, accompanied by pain here or there, extreme nervousness, sleep lessness, maybe fainting spells or spasms, are all signals of distress for women. She may be growing from girlhood into womanhood, passing from womanhood to motherhood, and later suffering from that change which leaves so many wrecks of women.

THIS is the caution applied to the public annonncement of Castoria that has 1 been manufactured under the supervision of Chas. H. Fletcher for over 30 years the genuine Castoria. We respectfully call the attention of fathers and mothers when purchasing Castoria to see that the wrapper bears his signature m black. When tne wrapper is removed the same signature appears on both side3 of the bottle in red. Parents who have used Castoria for their little ones m tho past years need no warning against counterfeits and imitations, but our present duty is to call the attention of the younger generation to the great danger of intro ducing into their families spurious medicines. It is to be regretted that there are people who are now engaged in the nefarious business of putting up and selling all sorts of substitutes, or what should more properly be termed counterfeits, for medicinal preparations not only for adults, but worse yet, for children's medicines. It therefore devolves on the mother to scrutinize closely what she gives her child. Adults can do that for themselves but the child has to rely on the mother's watchfulness.
