THE MORNING OREGOXIA THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1915. LISTER'S VETO IS BEATEN IN HOUSE Republican Organization . Held in Line and Vote Re V corded Is 77 to 18. Is SENATE TO ACT TODAY traders Believe McArdle Bills Will Be Passed Again Oregon Court Is Clt?d on Emergencr Fea ture Harbors AVant Guns. OLTMFIA. Wash, Feb. 17SpeclaL) With debate reduced to a minimum on account of the overwhelming organ ization majority, the House today re passed the vetoed McArdle Land Board and Board of Eaualizatlon bills, not withstanding: the Governor's disap proval, by the vote of 77 to 18 and sent both meaaurea to the Senate, where they were mad a special order of business for tomorrow afternoon. The vote will be closer In the Senate, but Republican leaders predict they will have S9 votes for the measure, while but are needed to give the two-thirds majority. The House organization. In repassing the McArdle bills, not only heid all its original strength but added votes oi two members who were apralnst the bills on the previous rollcallw. These were Mr. Uastinss (Rep.), of Kins, who la anxious to obtain organization sup port for university appropriations, and Mr Nirkle. of Okanagan. the only Democrat to vote with the Republi cans. The other Democrats charge that Ir. Niekle has been promised a road Impropriation. Democrats mmd Bull Moose Join. The other 13 democrats and the rrojrressive delegation of six voted ti.n hills. Representatives -.... unrf viie- Democrats, and t an PrnrrusiTC. made short speeches ..ni.n tn their renassage. to which the Republicans essayed to reply, but Mr. Grass, of King. Republican, epitomized the sentiment of the ma jority by declaring, when moving the previous quetsion: ., .-What Is the use of talking, all Know i KA vntA in i'n i Tl IT to be." In opposition to the position taken by Governor Lister in his veto mes sage Attorney-General Tanner said to dav that the Legislature has the legal ,.hr to forestall the referendum on any measure by affixing an emergency clause. The Attorney-General thinks that the courts have no authority to go behind the statement of the law itseir, that an emergency exists. In this position Mr. Tanner relies i.-.it- nnnn decision of the Oregon cj rm.rt in the case of Kadderly v. Portland. In which the court said h .ri.tonrn of an emergency question of which the Legislature alone must be the judge, and when it de iha fact to exist. Its existence is final." Other Courts Substantiate. Courts of South Dakota, Oklahoma ".nd Arkansas have held similarly, the Attorney-General says, tne reiere.iuu.u provisions of the constitutions of these elates being essentially similar to those m TV ooKlnctnn The decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, quoted in the Gov ernor's veto message yesterday, and followed by the Michigan Courts, is .Antrniiinsr the Governor's advisers. ..h . distinction Is drawn between these decisions and those of the Ore gon.

Highway Commissioner Roy has 'been an enthusiastic booster for the split-lost drag as an Inexpensive method for making earth roads almost the equal of surfaced highways, and the bill of Representative Weldon comes as recognition of the merit of this humble but efficient piece of road machinery.

But under the circumstances he claimed his consti tutional right to be excused from voting. , Politics Played, la Charge. Getting back to the cocktail, or the relish. Just as. you prerer to caii iu It was served with the economy course. A good share of the morning was ex pended by the Senate over mat pari of the legislative meal and It concerned a reduction or tne inouwrau Commission from three members to one. The Senate had up for considera tion the Schuebel House bill, changing the rates in the existing compensation law. The Senate tacked on an amend ment by a vote of 18 to 12 which re duced the number of Commissioners. It was not accomplished without a squabble. In ,which charges of playing politics were freely made. One Executive Deemed Enough, As a preliminary it may be said that an executive head for this department is required. But It is the opinion or impartial observers that the executive work can be done by one Commissioner with rasa and fairness: that the real work of the Industrial Accident Com mission, outside of routine clerical services, is performed by the secre tary, who is an expert brought over from the State of Washington by a per manently employed physician, who passes on the character of injuries to workmen, and by a deputy Attorney General, who looks after the legal phases. The secretary, a physician and a lawyer employed by the state are the real Industrial Accident Commission, and none of them is. in fact, "Com missioner." Mr. Moser's Reply Conclusive. The argument that caused the Legis lature originally to provide for three Commissioners was presented by Sena tor L S. Smith. This argument is that one man Is needed on the Commission to look after labor's interests, one to represent the employers and one to represent the public But Senator Mosor, I think, answered, that argu ment in a conclusive way. He pointed out that the contention itself assumes that the labor representative will vote in the workmen's Interest, that the em ployer's representative will act in the employer's Interest and that tne rep resentative of the people will have the balance of power. Thus the people's representative will always control. "Why not let him be the Commission and be done with it?" asked Senator Moser. It was in this debate that Senator Day produced his legislative proverbs. They were a protest against captious criticisms and were preliminary to an expression of his views in support or one Commissioner. Economy Pledees Cited, Senator Day read a letter to the At torney-General In which the Industrial Accident Commission asked for the del egation of a deputy to do nothing else tv,on accident commission work. He also read a letter from Attorney-General Brown to the ways and means committee asking for such an assist ant. Senator Day said the ways and means committee was convinced that the 'allowance would have, to be made. He called attention to the economy pledges of the members and asserted that the only way to bring about econ omy in that department was to reduce the number of Commissioners. Senator Bingham, whose Michigan law has been abandoned In the face of strong opposition, was the most pessi mistic He asserted that witnin ia months the Legislature would be called back in special session to save me state from bankruptcy as a result of maintenance of the existing i state industrial insurance. He insistea that every means for economy in the department should be employed.

U, HEAD IS COURIER Cameras Click as Mr. Withycombe, Surrounded by Prohibition Lead ers, Attaches Signature Pen for J. F. Carroll. STATH CAPITOL. Salem. Or Feb. 17. (Special.) "It is the best piece of constructive legislation In the world," declared Governor Withycombe this afternoon as he attached his signa ture to the prohibition bill. "I heartily approve of its every provi sion. If the Legislature does nothing else this act alone is well worth the expense of the session." The Governor was in a nappy mouu when he signed the bill. He declared that it gave him a real pleasure to be able to have a part in so wnoie some and; so beneficial a piece of work. Members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union and other persons, who have been interested in the "dry" movement in Oregon for many years, stood about his desk. The House enrolling committee com pleted the final draft of the bill late this afternoon ana Harry mcuu, chief clerk of the committee, proua ly carried it Into the House and de posited it upon the chief clerk's desk. Measure Signed Promptly. Speaker Selling lost no time in sign ing it. The House paused in its busi ,ri,n. h attached his signature. Mrs. Jennie M. Kemp, president of the Oregon W. C T. U., stood below the Speaker's rostrum and watched, him at his task. The sspeaKer men Mrs. Kemp a special messenger to car- . h. hiii vr to the Senate, where President Thompson quickly signed it. The document then was brought back to the House and in charge of Mrs. Kemp, accompanied by Representative Anderson, autnor oi mo f i.iv.in v.111 nrA a. member of the Com, mittee of One Hundred, was conveyed to the Governor's office. Governor Withycombe was waiting for them. He shook hands with Mrs. Kemp and Dr. Anderson and Pene? the door of his private office and asked -,.r. nf interested persona to U1D 3 " . 1' enter. Camera Catches Scene. A battery of cameras had been ar- i orminii thn Governor's desk and lauBu . -araa nhotograDhed In the act or -io-ninn- the. bill that doubtless has at traded more attention than any other measure passed at the present session. "I have Just read the bill." said the Governor, before' picking up his pen, "and I approve of every word of it. I believe it is the best piece or wnsvrui; ii legislation ever enacted." The Governor disagreed with those critics of the bill who have been con tending that It is not tight enough, as he did with those wno nave oeen ue clarlne It too drastic. In addition to Mrs. Kemp there were nrttsnnt at the time Mrs. Henrietta Rrnwn state vloe-presldent of the W. C. T. U.; Mrs. S. E. Oliver, president, and Mrs. Z. A. Bosebrough. vice-presi dent of the Marion County organiza tion; K. P. Hutton, superintendent of th Anti-Saloon League: Mrs. Hutton, Mrs. Kobert H. Tate, of the Child Wel fare Commission, of Portland, and others. Pen Saved for Mr. Carroll. The pen used by the Governor was taken by one of the newspaper men to h ent to John F. Carroll, of Portland who has been one of the leaders of the "dry" movement in the state. Mrs. tmo called attention to th fact that Governor Abernathy. whose nicture adorns the wall of the Gov ernor's office, was really the first pro hibition Governor of Oregon, inasmuch as he vetoed the bill repealing the first state-wide prohibition law passed in tbe Union, nearly three quarters of a century ago. Representatives of the committee oi one hundred, the Anti-Saloon agencies In accomplishing tne recent "ary vie tory at the pons, now are unou uv .Mirfi- hehlnd the bill and say they will support it with a united front in the event of a reierenaum.

All hopes or any hopes that the Portland police band may have entertained of getting an appropriation of $10 000 from the Legislature for the purpose of defraying its expenses to the San Frncisco fair vanished into thin air this morning when the House re fused even to permit the introduction of a bill for this purpose. Representative Lewis asked consent of the House merely to have, the meas ure brought up in the regular way. but on narts of the hall arose cries of protest. The House rules prohibit the introduction of new bills after the twentieth day witnout uuu" When the police band was here last week, it became known that the organi zation would ask for an appropriation to send it to the World's Fair "to adver tise Oregon" but the Legislators believe that Oregon needs no such advertising.
