THE HORNING OREGOXIAN, MONDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1916. COUNTY DELEGATION TO MEET THURSDAY Multnomah Legislators to Dis cuss Affairs Solely Deal ing With County. UNIT RULE NOT TO PREVAIL Idea Is to Have Thorough Under standing of Measures General Measures Not to Be Taken TTp When Session Is Held. Members of the Multnomah County legislative delegation will meet In the Governor's room of the Oregon build ing at 8 o'clock next Thursday evening to consider questions of exclusive in terest to Multnomah County. A permanent organization will be effected. Several members have been suggested for the chairmanship, promi nent among them being Conrad P. Ol con, of the Senate. Representative D. C. Lewis also is experiencing a slight oom in this connection. The idea, mainly, is to get the dele gation organized so that when measures directly concerning Multnomah County are presented at Salem some Intelli gent action can be taken. It is not Intended, however, to conduct meetings In the nature of a caucus so that all members of the delegation will be bound by the will of the majority. The Intention Is to permit every man to vote on every question according to Ills own notions on the subject. No general legislation will be con; idered by the Multnomah delegates". They will discuss only those questions that concern this county exclusively. One question that doubtless will call for much attention is the proposed change in the Juvenile Court. This question now is being urged from many aides. It will be a live issue at Salem. Some changes in Portland district school laws also are proposed. It is probable that the plan permitting all registered voters to vote at school elec tions will be presented to the Legisla ture. Now none but taxpayers are per mitted to vote. The teachers' tenure of office law Is also due for legislative attention. It concerns Multnomah ' County directly. It is probable that one or more meet ings will be held before he legislative cession opens, so that residents of Mult nomah County who cannot go to Salem when the Legislature convenes can present their views. Two years ago the Multnomah dele gation held weekly meetings for five or six weeks before the session started. Many important measures were threshed out and partly disposed of In that way, saving a lot of time at 6alem. "FOUNDER OF REPUBLICAN PARTY IN OREGON,- WHO DIED IN SALEM YESTERDAY. ' M 1 '-M .'.

With a fund of nearly $10,000 rolled up at the close of "Sympathy Week," the Public Welfare Bureau enters the last Btretch in Its campaign to make up its relief fund of the coming year, this morning. "Sympathy Saturday" turned in about $1000 Saturday night, which may . be augmented to $2000 or more when the complete report from the officers of the Bank of Sympathy is made. They will meet probably today and check up on the final returns from the sale of the sympathy stock. In the meantime checks are still com ing in as a result of the letter Bent out to the members of the 10 leading clubs of the city. The letters contained an outline of the plan to raise at this time the full amount necessary to car ry the relief work of the Public Wel fare. Bureau throughout the coming vear and to each letter was attached a blank counter check to be filled out by the donor. The letters went out Thursday. . On ! Friday more than 60 checks averaging $2 were returned, and on Saturday, 182 checks averaging $2.30 came back. About 6000 letters were sent out and it is probable that the returns for Friday and Saturday represent only the beginning of the contributions which wlil come as a response throughout the present week. The coin cards that have been dis tributed by the Boy Scouts are still coming In well, and the committee urges those who have not sent in such contributions and who haver re ceived cards, to do so as soon as pos sible if they are able and inclined to assist In the relief of the. poor of the city. One hundred Per cent relief on the amount of money turned into the fund. and that relief to be operative through out the whole of the coming year, is the plan' that the Public Welfare Bu reau has laid out for itself. If the $25,000 amount can be made by the end of this week there will be no other campaign to secure subscrip tions from the public for another year. Contributions this week to the land for the Public Welfare Bureau should be sent to the Bureau itself at 444 Courthouse, or may be left with The Ortgonian. - a target for German guns, as many of his relative now are.
