MEED IS GOVERNING FACTOR Act Would Kequire That Railroad Coninii.-sion Certify to 'cccity or 'ew rroject Before It Be Constructed. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or.. Feb. 1. (Special.) Public convenience and necessity will be the controlling fac tors in determining whether public mitlities in Oregon are to have compe i. lion, if Senate bill 58. passed by the senate today, becomes a law. Its pur pose is the protection of utilities al ready in operation from ruinous and infsir competition. The State Railroad t'ommtssion is to determine whether proposed construction Is necessary. Senators voting for the bill were t'.arrett. Bingham. Burgess. Cusick. Day, arrell. liarlarid. Hawley. Kiddle, la foMette. Lngzuth. McBride. Moser. Perkins. J. C. Smith, Von der Hellen, Wood and Thompson. Senators voting against the bill were: Mialiop. Butler. Clarke, nimick. Hollis, l.'eilaher. Leinenweber. Ragsdale. I. S. .Smith. Stewart and Strayer: Senator Vinton was absent when the ote was taken. Saatr Perklna Ik Aathor. Leading the fight for the bill were :- nator I'erklns, author of the bill, and senators Garland. Day and Bingham. Senators Kimick and Hell is-described it ra a "vicious measure," and Senator pishop said he saw no reason why small businesses should not be protected in a similar way. if big ones were to be. "This brings up the oldtlme ques- in of regulated monopoly," declared S: nutor Day. "With these utilities reg elated by the state, the correlative duty f protecting them from unbridled and itiinoiis competition is manifest. The t uty to protect these investments un wr'the system of regulation is binding . ml solemn." Senator Garland explained that the erasure applied to territory already I i cupied by utilities and in no way to hose not occupiod. ; It was a bill, he ii.l. wliich. all interests seemed to de- iie. Before the committee which had he hill in charge all interests had been represented and there were no dissen sions. I'rotrrlloa Held deeded. "It is safeguarded in every way," 1 itelared the Senator, "and gives indus rles r.nd capital a much-needed pro jection from ruinous competition. The -tte regulates the utilities, the Rail-' road Commission seeing to it that -nurses are only such as will give rea sonable returns." Senator Vinton declared that the peo ple after all paid for the utilities. To ,tablish two where only one was needed, he argued, was a waste of their ntonev. Senator Butler insisted that only in . ompetition could the best results be obtained. He thought that the passage of the bill would arrest the develop ment of the state. Senator Bingham said the corpora . i nn hu.t i-nntrol. thev had nrob- ablv been too severely regulated as a I result, and now the pendulum was winging bark to old conditions. Senator Mollis said the bill had a tendency to foster and create monopo lies. Senator Uangguth declared the bill was necessary to protect the cap ital of "investors after we get them here." The law provides in part as follows. "No public utility . . . shall henceforth begin the construction of a -treel railroad, or of a line, plant or system, without having- first obtained from the Railroad Commission a cer tificate that the present or future pub lic convenience and necessity require or will require such construction." COI.LKGE UEGEXTS CONFIRMED Senate Arts on Appointment of Three Hoard Members. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or.. Feb. It. (Special.) The Senate today con firmed the appointment by Governor Withycombe of Clara H. "Waldo. N. R. Moore and Jefferson Meyers as mem bers of the Board of Regents of Ore gon Agricultural College. Senator Gar land asked if the membership of the Board complied with the law provid ing that five be composed of one po litical party and four of another. He ts assured that five members were ifepublicana and four Democrats. "I congratulate the Governor upon changing his mind to comply with the law." said the Democratic Senator as he voted to confirm the appointment!. WORKMEN'S ACT IS DISLIKED Senators Disapprove Bingham Bill, hot Accept Schuebers. STATE CAPITOI Salem. Or, Feb. 1. (Special) The Senate insurance com mittee has reported unfavorably on the Bingham bill providing the Michigan form of workmen's compensation. X favorable report on the Schuebel bill, passed by the House, with the amendment that the membership of the Industrial Accident Commission be re duced from three to one, was filed. If the bill is paased the present members of the board. Harvey Beckwlth, Will lam Marshall and Mis Fern Hobbs. will automatically be thrown out of of fice and the Governor will appoint one Commissioner. ( to November 5, at whloh time, if atill unpaid, a delinquency penalty of 5 per cent attaches. Promotion Holdups Aimed At. The title of the certificate of public necessity bill adopted in the Senate has a mysterious sound, but it is not steeped in mystery. It is a law which requires a corporation desiring to enter the field of another corporation sup plying the public with a common utility first to obtain from the Railroad Commission a certificate that public convenience or necessity requires such competition. The bill is aimed to pre vent promotion holdups and ill-advised competition. As might have been expected. Sena tor Kellaher arose to detenu ine com mon people on this bill. He saw the thumbprints of the corporations on the mar-in of the bill. Noble Dan. He Is uIwovr nrlsinsr to defend the common people. In 1912 he helped referend the existing public utilities law and in the argument In tne state pampniev jjibucu bv him is the depressing information that the public utilities law does not contain section 74 of the Wisconsin act, of whlrh it purported to De a copy, This he described as a section "most vital" to the law. Section 74 provides for certificates of public necessity. Thus did Senator Kellaher arise in 1912 to sound protest of the common nonnia asr.iin.st beinz deprived of a certificate of necessity law: thus does he now arise to sound tnetr proiesi against having it thrust upon them.

The bill is in the guise of a tax law, for it Imposes a 6 per cent tax on the gross receipts of merchants using such coupons. As the tax is prohibitive, it will not produce revenue, but will cause the abandon ment of coupons. The bill reforming the tax-paying periods comes from the Joint committee of both houses and is simple in terms. Practically the only objection raised to It is that it is not severe enough to produce prompt payments. The bill prescribes two tax-paying dates, Apil 5 for the first half and October 5 for the second. One per cent per month Im to be collected on .unpaid .taxes up Vote to Concur In timergeney imuc.

While Eaton was unable to win any substantial support in his opposition t thf Sreaker"s ruling, the House ex pressed its intention to foUow closely the rule established" yesteraay to re fuse fa concur in Senate amendments before every member is fully informed of their contents. Representative Huston proiesiea against the action of the Senate in at taching the emergency clause to House bills. In this manner, he said, the Sen ate can prevent the people from in voking the referendum against meas ures that they really have a right to vote upon. Unless a bill really is in. tended to meet an emergency, he in sisted, there is no use to give it an emergency clause. ' Committee Holds Judiciary Bill. STATE CAPTTOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 16. (Special.)--The Thompson bill pro viding for an intermediate court of ap peals and making other changes in the Judiciary of the state, will not be re ported by the Judiciary committee of the Senate.

AGAINST OR GANIZATION ON NEW BASIS. Appropriation of 15,000 Included for Support for Two Tear on Economy Programme. STATE CAriTOL, Salem. Or., Feb. 16. (Special.) Reorganization of the State Naval Militia on a basis to con form with the United States Navy re quirements Is provided for in a bill passed by the House this morning. The measure also appropriates $15, 000 for support of the organization during the next two years, overruling the recent decision of the Senate to abolish the militia. Only ten votes were registered against the bill. Representative W. O. Smith stood sponsor in the House. He called at tention to the fact that the Governor has indorsed a moderate appropriation for the naval militia and said that the plans proposed by this bill have the approval of Adjutant-General White. Representative Andrew C. Smith and Representative Huston appealed to the patriotism of the members. Mr. Hus ton contended that critics and oppo nents of the present Administration at Washington have little ground to stand on If they fail or refuse to assist the Administration by strengthening the Navy. The measure aims principally to place the naval militia on a more eco nomical and more efficient basis. It abolishes the present civilian board and replaces It with a naval staff composed of the Adjutant-General and two offi cers of the naval militia appointed by the Governor. It makes the organiza tion fit the cruiser Boston. The regular Summer cruises will not be discontinued, as they are financed largely by the United States Govern ment.

Disapproving both the McArdle bills that have come to his office. Governor Lister, in a. veto message sent to the House tonight, decries the tendency of the Legislature, toward frequent use of the emergency clause in an attempt to forestall a possible referendum act by the voters. The veto message drew a reply from Lieutenant-Governor Hart on behalf of the Republican organization of the Legislature, the, Lieutenant-Governor personally assuming responsibility for the action of the Senate in adding the emergency clause. Mr. Hart says this action was taken in committee on his advice, but not for the purpose of avoiding a 'referendum. Compromise Is Avoided. Governor Lister, in vetoing both bills, apparently ended any chance of a compromise with the Legislature. The two bills vetoed are House bill 54, reorganizing the State Land Board so that it will be taken altogether from the control of the Governor, this bill carrying an emergency, clause, and House bill 5D, reorganizing the Board of' Equalization, so that the Governor will have but one appointment, instead of three, as at present. The, tax commission bill. House bill 53, abolishing the present Tax Com-, mission and placing tax wgrk under the Land Commissioner, instead of the Governor, has been held In the Senate rules committee. It has been under stood, although never expressly stated, that legislative leaders thus were hold ing out to the Governor a compromise offer to the general effect that if he would sign the bills giving Republi cans control of the Land Board and Board of Equalization, the tax commis sion bill' might be allowed to die In the Senate. Republicans Had Hope. Until today Republican leaders ex pressed the belief that the Governor might grasp at this unexpressed offer of compromise and, although Mr. Lister announced last week that he would veto at least the emergency clause of number 54, the legislators expected him to approve this bill with the ex ception of the objectionable clause, and all of number 55. Now that both bills have been vetoed, the House undoubtedly will proceed to pass both bills, notwithstanding tho ex ecutive disapproval. Whether the nec essary two-thirds majority can be' ob tained In the Senate is not certain, but that branch is expected now to take action toward passing the tax commis sion bill sending that' measure to the Governor for another probable veto. In his veto message, a document of 1000 words. Governor Lister points out that both measures sent to him in reality depend upon the bill abolishing the Tax Commission, as members of the Tax Commission are ex-officio mem bers of the Land Board and Board of Equalization, arguing that since the Tax Commission bill has not been passed, there is no need shown for re organization of the other two boards. Clause Focuses Message. He adds that the change "is not called for as the result of inefficiency on the part of the membership of these two commissions, in fact the feeling seems to be quite general that each of the commissions has been efficient in the performance of its duties." Had House bill 53, abolishing the State Tax Commission, passed, the Governor safcs "there would have appeared some reason for legislative action on the two bills before me." Particular attention is paid, however, to the emergency clause affixed to House bill , 54. The Governor quotes the constitutional provision that bills become effective 90 days after adjourn ment of the Legislature, to allow a posssible referendum, "except such laws as may be necessary for the imme diate preservation of the public peace, health and safety, support of the state government and Its existing public In stitutions," and adds that careful scru tiny of the Land Board bill fails to show that an emergency exists within the constitutional definition. While this bill might not be of sufficient importance to justify a referendum, the message says, affixing of the emergency clause would create a precedent that might be followed o prevent popular vote on other measures. "It may be held by some members of the Legislature that its act in plac ing an emergency clause on a bill is final and conclusive and that there can be no court review of such ac tion," the message continues. As answer to this Governor Lister quotes the opinion of the late Justice Harle of the Supreme Court of the United States, holding "if a statute purport ing to have been enacted to protect the public health, the public morals or the public safety, has no real or substantial relations to those objects, or is a palpable invasion of rights se cured by the fundamental law, it is the duty of the courts to so adjudge and thereby give effect to the consti tution." Seattle liquor men failed to appear with their new anti-prohibition bill, but the legislators willing to sponsor this measure expect it to arrive tomorrow or Thursday at the latest. Friday will be the last day for regular introduction of bills. OPINION IS PUT IX RECORDS Committee Considers Legality of Is sue of Home for Feeble-Minded. OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. 16. (Spe cial.) A formal opinion, rendered by Attorney Thomas M. Vance, of Olym pian former Assistant Attorney-Gen eral, holding that the State Board of Control was within its legal rights in establishing buildings for the Institu tion for Feeble-Minded on a new site. mile and a half distant from the present location, has been incorporated in the records of the legislative in vestigating committee, on request of the Board of Control. By the end of this week the investi gators expect to render their report. Sentiment among legislators, especially on the Senate side, is strongly against the policy of the Board of Control in locating buildings on the new site. A bill has been proposed to instruct the Board of Control to turn these new buildings over to the Eastern Hospital for Insane and compel the Board to erect new buildings for the feeble minded on the old site. This measure will be introduced if the report of the Resinol Soap clears bad complexions Pimples and blackheads dis appear, red, rough, blotchy com plexions becoma clean, clear and velvety, and hair health and beauty are aided by the regular use of Resinol Soap. It does its work easily, quickly and at little costeven when othermethods fail.

The uniform accountancy bill, reformed and in new guise, w given a lease of life in the Senate today, when the minority report of Senator Moser, of the judiciary committee, fa vorable to House bill 407. was substi tuted for the majority one. Senator Moser declared the bill which had been passed in the House was en tirely different from the present law. it n.Aviloa that thA -tate insurance de partment shall have supervision in a general way, but that tne counties snail employ the accountants to audit their books, shall make the contracts for the work and shall pay- what price they wish.

When Is the Time to Invest? Both of the above questions are in the minds of men and .women who realize that their idle capital of savings must produce real, honest, legitimate earnings (not simply interest.) A good investment means placing money in something of merit which is or will be in demand. (Prove this absolutely.) And which is managed by capa ble, experienced men of unquestionable integrity. (Prove this to your complete satisfaction also.) Then if you desire the maximum earning power of jrour dollar be sure that you are' to share equitably in the actual profits of the undertaking, and not simply to receive interest on your money and the other man the large earnings. The time to invest is when opportunity present itself, and you can get in on the ground floor of an enterprise, which qualifies to the above condition. Nothing in the land is as good an investment as land it self and its improvement earnings. The Oregon Home Builders earns exactly the same per share for the small stockholder as for the large. Its security is land itself. It permits a small amount to be invested on monthly pay ments if desired. Already there are a thousand share holders. ' Investigate to your absolute satisfaction. The wise business man or woman is sure first, and then backs his or her judgment. The Oregon Home Builders Northwestern Bank Bldg.
