Is Members of tho Multnomah delega tion to the Legislature will hold an open meeting tonight In Library Hall. Tenth and Yamhill streets, to hear ar guments for and against proposed mea sures affecting Multnomah County. The meeting will begin at 8 o'clock. T. C. Lewis, chairman of the delega tion, will preside. The first order of business at to night's meeting will be the hearing of arguments of the Board of Education In favor of amending the tenure of of fice law for teachers, so as to make It easier to dismiss a teacher, and argu ments of represaitatlves of the teach es in opposition to such an amend ment. Alexander Case Prompts Action. The tenure of office law was passed by the 1913 Legislature. It puts teach ers of the Portland public schools on what Is virtually a civil service basis. It provides that after a teacher has served a two-year probationary period, lie or she may not be dismissed ex cept after a formal hearing before the Board, with full benefit of witnesses and subpenas. on written charges lgned by the person preferring them. During the two-year nrobationarv ne- rlod a teacher may be dismissed with out the filing of written charges. The protracted hearing before the Board of Education of charges pre ferred against Mrs. Alevla Alexander, ex-prlncipal of the Girls' School of Trades, has served to focus attention especially on the tenure of office law. Members of the Board of Education as Pert that the law makes It almost Im possible to discipline a teacher, but the teachers say this is not the case. They declare It has taken the election of touchers out of politics. Chance In School Lawi Proposed. In any event the delegation will not go on record for one side or the other. It will hear arguments and take the whole subject under advisement until after the Legislature convenes. The same cowrntt win b- followed Ith regard to all subjects brought be fore the uuli'gaiion, me memuirs of which so decided in resolutions adopted at their first meeting last Thursday night. Another question affecting the public schools of Multnomah County, and of the state at largo as well, that may be brought up tonight is that of amend ing the present school election laws so as to permit any qualified voter to vote at school elections. At present there is a property qualification. Whether this subject is brought before the delegation or not It Is certain to be submitted in some form at the Leg islature. Several Hearings Arranged. Arguments on the tenure of office law are considered likely to take up so much time at tonight's meeting that onsideration of other topics, such as good roads legislation, increase of automobile license fees, increasing the salary of County Commissioners of Multnomah County from J150 to $250 a month, and other proposed measures, will probably have to be postponed to a later session. However, the delegation plans to hold several hearings. It probably will ad journ tonight to meet again tomorrow night and perhaps Fridiiy night as well. Another hearing or two may be ar ranged for next week. LODGE IS TO CELEBRATE HASSALO ODDFELLOWS PLAN FOR GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY. Elnborate Programme and Banquet Be Given Night of January 5.
