CLEAR TITLES REQUIRED Cost of Operation of System Is Hot to Exceed 1 Per Cent, but Several Administrative Of fices Are to Be Created. STATE CAPITOL,, Salem. Or., Jan. 8. (Special.) The Senate completed its organization today in record time. Gus C. Moser was elected president at the morning session, after all the details of preliminary organization had pro ceeded without deviation from the pro gramme arranged at a conference of Senators . Sunday night. At 3 o'clock the Senate adjourned for the day with ' a clean Elate. Before it adjourned, five bills had been introduced. The honor of intro ducing Senate bill No. 1, the first bill to be introduced In this Legislature, went to Senator M. D. Shanks, of Mor row. Umatilla and Union Counties. His bill was a measure to make ef fective the rural credits constitutional amendment adopted by the people at the November general election. It car ries an appropriation of $5000. Superintendent of Loans Provided. It creates a superintendent of farm loans at a salary of 2400 a year, to be appointed and to serve at the pleasure of the State Land Board. Provision also is made for appoint ment of one title examiner, who is to be an attorney of at least five years' experience, and who is to receive $1500 a year. There also are to be one or more appraisers, to appraise property offered as a basis of loans, at a com pensation to be fixed by the State Land Hoard. "Loajis shall be made only upon an unincumbered, fee simple title to lands in this state," reads the bill, "having the value and other qualifications pre scribed in said amendment." One Per Cent to Be Advanced. It further sets forth that all appli cations for loans shall be accompanied by a satisfactory abstract of title, and shall be accompanied by an initial pay ment of 1 per cent of the amount of the proposed loan to cover the expense of examining title and appraising the land. Should the loan for any reason not be granted, the balance of this de posit is to be refunded, after deducting the reasonable expense of examining title and appraising the land. If the loan is granted the excess of the de posit over the reasonable expense is to be refunded to the applicant. The $5000 proposed appropriation is to enable the act to be carried imme diately into effect. It is to be repaid at 5 per cent interest to the state, whenever the operation of the law re turns sufficient funds. The State Land Board is instructed, immediately after the act becomes ef fective to sell at least $50,000 in bonds as provided in the rural credits amend ments, and as much more, in multiples of $50,000 as required. The bonds ma ture in 36 years from issuance, and may be redeemed in the order of their issuance at any time after 10 years. Resident Are Preferred Class. Applicants for farm loans are di vided by the bill into two classes. In the first class are actual residents on in granting of loans. In the second class are non-resident owners, who actually and personally operate their land. They may borrow money from the land, who are to have preference the fund only when there is a surplus remaining after all loans asker by per sons in the first class have been satis fied. Interest on the loans is to be pay able annually or semi-annually at the discretion of the Board. Provision made for foreclosure of mortgages when overdue or when interest has been defaulted. Expense of carrying the amendment into effect, further provides me act. shall in no event exceed one per cent cf the money lent. Organisation Quickly Made. It took the Senate only one hour and ten minutes to complete its whole organization, from the selection of tern porary presiding officer down to the election of permanent President and all the desk clerks. All the details had been arranged at the conference of Senators held last night in the Marion Hotel The pro prumme then agreed to for expediting organization breezed through without a pa use. First, Senator "W. T. Wood, of "Wash ington County, who is the dean of the Senata in pcint of service, called the Senators to order promptly at 10:30 o'clock. In lapid succession Senator C. L. Hawley. of Polk County, was made temporary president; John "W. Cochran, chief clerk for the past two sessions, was made temporary chief clerk, and a credentials committee and committee on permanent organization and order of business were appointed. There was a ten-minute recess until the credentials committee, composed of Dlmick, Barrett and Garland, report ed all members entitled to be seated. The committee did not even take cogni sance in its report of the effort made by Roy r. Smith, of Hood River, to prevent Senator George R. Wilbur from being seated because he is a. Captain In the National Guard. New Senators Sworn. Senators Cusick, Bishop and Strayer, of the committee on permanent organ ization and order, also reported, and then J-istice Moore, - of the Supreme Court, swore in the new Senators. Next on the smoothly-moving pro gramme came the election of Senator Gus C. Moser. of Multnomah, as Presi dent of the Senate. Senator Huston made tne nomination. It was seconded by ' Vinton,' Hurley, Garland, Baldwin and Smith. Every Senator present voted for Moser. the only absentees being Eddy of Douglas and Bingham of Lane. Bingham is in New York City and will not return dur ing the session. At 11:22 o'clock Senator Moser took the oath as President of the Senate, ad ministered by Justice Moore, ahd began a brief speech. "I shall endeavor in the administra tion of the duties of this position." he said, "to preside impartially and in such manner as to have at the close of the session the good will and esteem of you all. "Many important subjects are com ing before us. We are here, not as Re publicans or Democrats, but as citizens ',of Oregon, to perform our duty as leg ' lalators." Duties Are Outlined. "He referred to the necessity for speedy enactment of a law carrying out the rural credits amendment, of legisla tion providing money for roads to match the appropriation due Oregon from the Federal Government in the ! Jixj& toyr years, and. legislation making MOSER .effective the bone-dry prohibition amendment. "It will be our special duty to see that this amendment is carried into effect," said Senator Moser. "But above and beyond all other mat ters are the interests of the taxpayers. We must make a record for economy. Under the 6 per cent amendment It will be necessary to slash many appropria tions." The Senate knew Its mind bo well be forehand that, with one minor excep tion, there was no contest for any of the desk clerkships. Without opposition, John W. Cochran, of Portland, was re-elected chief clerk for the session; John P. Hunt, of Wood burn, was re-elected assistant chief clerk; James W. Church, of Hood River, was re-elected calendar cjerk; Walter L. Tooze, of Salem, was ellfcted reading clerk, and Colonel W. D. G. Mercer, of Eugene, was re-elected sergeant-at-arms. George A. Crane Wins. For doorkeeper, Roy Core-, of Ba-ker, who held the position at the last ses sion, was re-elected without opposi tion. The only contest was for mailing clerk, with George A. Crane, of Rose burg, incumbent last session; James McRae, of Union County, and C. A James, of Portland, as the candidates. James withdrew after the second bal lot, and Crane was then re-elected by 16 votes to 12 for McRae. Senator Moser appointed Senators Vinton, Orton and Steiwer to the rules committee, which immediately recom mended adoption of last session's rules, with the amendment that the commit tee on revision of laws shall be com posed of seven instead of five mem bers and that the double enacting clause be omitted. A rule was added similar to that in the House last session requiring that when bills amending laws are submit ted, the proposed amendments must be printed in italic, tne old part In ordi nary type and the parts to be stricken out in brackets. The report was unan imously adopted. That was all for the morning session. The Senate, much pleased at its speedy organization, promptly adjourned and went over to hear the House elect its speaker. Committees Named as Forecast. The afternoon session of the Senate moved even faster than the morning one. Senator Moser announced his commit tee appointments shortly after the noon recess. There were few surprises, as he had given out the names of the chairmen of most of the important committees last week. They were pub lished in The Oregonian at that time. Two . important chairmanships not announced then, however, were those of the committee on alcoholic traffic, of which Senator M. D. Shanks is chair man, and the committee on roads, of which Senator Conrad P. Olson is chairman. A resolution was adopted that no bills shall be introduced after the 30th day of the session, except by consent of three-fourths of the Senate. Governor'! Message Today. A concurrent resolution was intro duced by Olson and carried that the Senate and House meet in the House chamber at 2 o'clock tomorrow to hear the reading of the Governor's message. Senator Dimick, of Clackamas, in troduced two resolutions of more than ordinary importance. The first, a concurrent resolution, in structs the ways and means committees of both houses to pass upon and rec ommend the amounts to be appropri ated for support of various state in stitutions by the -30th day of the ses sion, instead of in the last, days of the session, as has been customary. It also instructs the committee to prepare by that date an itemized statement of such recommendations, for the mem bers of both houses. The resolution was referred to the resolutions com mittee. 'Commission on Boards Favored. Senator Dimick's other resolution was a joint resolution creating a committee of seven members, of whom three shall be Senators and four Representatives, appointed by the President and Speak er, respectively, to investigate all pro posals for elimination of useless boards or commissions, and consolidation of others. . The resolution instructs this proposed committee not only to investigate the feasibility of such proposals and to re port thereon by the 20th day of the session, but to remain at work mere after until it can submit a practical plan. To facilitate its endeavors, it is ac corded full power to conduct hearings, subpena witnesses and to require that books and records be orougnt Deiore it. This resolution also was referred to the resolutions committee. As Senator Dimick is chairman of this committee, a favorable report may be expected in the Senate tomorrow. Committees Given Out.

Harmony and hard work promise to characterize the 40-day bi ennial grind started by the House of Representatives this morning. The magnanimous withdrawal of Louls E. Bean from the Speakership race on Sunday night made possible the unanimous election of Robert N. Stanfield today. -Mr. Bean himself nominated Mr. Stanfield and empha sised the fact that ne was desirous of securing harmony and accomplishing a maximum of beneficial legislation. Friction Entirely Abaent. Mrs, Alexander Thompson and George C. Brownell in the seconding speeches. and Mr. Stanfield in his brief address of acceptance, laid stress on the same thing, so it appears that this session, at least so far as the House is con cerned, will expend a maximum of ef fort with a minimum of friction. Aside from getting organized, the House did no business today, excepting to pass the joint memorial to Con gress to make the District of Columbia "dry." Only seven members voted against it. They are Representatives Callan, Corbett, Kubli, Lewis, Mackay, Schimpff and Stott. Mr. Dratcrr Calls Flonne to Order. "W. F. Drager, chief clerk of the last House, called the House to order at 10:20. On motion of Representative Forbes the House proceeded immedi ately with its organization. Represen tative Callan named Representative Anderson for temporary chairman and he was "unanimously elected with a heavy shower of applause. Dr. Ander son is the acknowledged leader of the "dry" forces in the House. After Mr. Drager had been elected . temporary chief clerk the chair appointed the fol lowing committees: j Order of business Plowden Stott. "W. E. " Schmipff. Roy Ritner. W. Al Jones and Charles T. Sweeney. Credentials Hamilton Corbett, Charles Childs, Lionel C. Mackey. The House then adjourned until 11:30. On reconvening the temporary' rollcall was made permanent and Chief Justice Moore was invited in to ad minister the oath. Election of the Speaker then proceeded. Important Legislation Forecaat. "This is a session of more than ordi nary importance." said Representative Bean in nominating Mr. Stanfield. "The eyes of all Oregon are on the members of this House and the members of the Senate at this time. "This is a state rich in undeveloped resources and this Legislature can do much to aid in their development. "It is important, therefore, that this body proceed with entire harmony and good will. It is important to elect for Speaker a man large enough and broad enough to have a state-wide point of view. It is my pleasure and my honor at this time to nominate such a man 1 hope he will have the unqualified sup port of every member. And I don't mean by that merely that you vote for him, but that you support him through out this session. Broad Experience Pointeff Out. "He is well known through the state, he is a man of much legislative experi ence and of broad business experience. You need have no hesitancy or timidity in going to him and consulting him at all times on questions relating to the conduct of legislative questions. "Robert N. Stanfield. whose name 1 now present to you. is my close per sonal friend. He merits your vote,' your confidence, your good will and your hearty co-operation." Mrs. Thompson caused a craning of necks and a popping of eyes from the feminine contingent in the gallery when she arose to speak. She has strong, clear voice that carries to every quarter of the room. Her presence and her method of delivery reflect her ex perience as a public spake r. Mrs. Thompson Seconds, "It is a peculiar pleasure for me to second the nomination of Mr. Stanfield. she began. -"It is an unusual proceed lng when a member of a minority party is permitted to have a voice in the or ganization of the House. 1' am proud of this honor, Jirst because I am a Democrat, and second because I am woman. As a Democrat, 1 am proud because by giving me this honor you acknowledge and give strength to the policy that party politics will have no part in the conduct' of the public busi ness. As a woman 1 am proud because it is the highest possible tribute that you can pay to the womanhood of the state. Robert N. Stanfield comes from the wide plains of Eastern Oregon. He will occupy the Speaker's chair with dignity and credit, administer his office fairly and impartially and act at all times, know, for the best interests of th state." Mr. Stanfield Does Not Vote. George C. Brownell.. in seconding the nomination, spoke emphatically of Mr. Stanfleld's great capacity, his pleasing personality and his high character. Representative Belland wanted to make the election of Mr. Stanfield unanimous by acclamation, but Chief Justice Moore reminded the members that the roll had to be called- Every member, voted for Stanfield. with th exception of Mr. Stanfield himself, who declined to vote. Representatives Bean and Kubll escorted the newly elected Speaker to the rostrum, where the Chief Justice administered the oath. He was greeted with lou& and prolonged applause as he took his place. Mr. Stanfield spoke only briefly, thanking the members for their sup port and expressing his desire to serve all members alike. "For the'' good of our great state," he continued, "I hope that we will have a pleasant and harmonious session. 1 am sure that we will accomplish much good and that we will adopt some con structive legislation." At noon the House recessed until 1 o'clock. When the House reconvened in the J afternoon It want into committee ,of HARMONIOUS HOUS the whole. Representative Forbes pre siding, to select nominees for the vari ous clerkships and other, positions.

Dragrer. of Salem, chief clerk; Merrill Moores. of Portland, journal clerk; Ben Hunt ington, of Drain, reading clerk; Charles W. Kaskine. of Bend, calendar clerk; Jo3eplrF. Singer, of Portland, sergeant-at-arms; Ben Robertson, of Salem, doorkeeper; W. F. McAdams, of Inde pendence, mailing clerk.

Cochran Begins Serving; Third . Term Chief Clerk, and 3. . P. Hunt. Assistant, Seventh. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or. Jan. 8. (Special.) The Senate has 'an all- veteran aesK organization. With one exception, all the desk clerks and other officials of the Senate elected today served in the same capacity at the last session. ' They fairly bristle with ex perience. I John W. Cochran, re-elected chief clerk, has been chief clerk for two ses sions preceding this one. Mr. Cochran, though. In a mere Infant in point of service as compared to John P. Hunt, of Woodburn, the capable assistant chief clerk in 1907, and he has not missed a session since. This will be his seventh time on deck. James W. Church, calendar clerk: Colonel W. G. D. Mercer, sergeant-at-arms; Roy Corey, doorkeeper, and George A. Crane, mailing clerk, are ail veterans of the 1915 session. Colonel Mercer is a veteran from much further back than that.

Mr. Tooze has a booming voice that fills up the Senate' chamber and spills out into the lobby. everybody can hear him. COURT REPORTS' COST PROBED Senator Wood May Oppose Paying for Reported $500. Volume. SALEM. Or.. Jan. 8. (Sneclal.t Senator W. D. Wood, of Washington County, who will be chairman of the ways and means committee, indicated this morning that some clear explana tions must be given before the $500 a volume, allowed to the Supreme Court reporter for preparing Supreme Court reports, will be allowed at this session of the Legislature. "I am making an investigation of the details surrounding the publication of these reports, and the reporter s por tion of the work," said Senator Wood. As near as I am able to ascertain the reporter is supposed to furnish syllabi to append to the various opinions handed down by the court, and that he is paid for that work, but I doubt very much if he does such work. From information which I have at hand the reporter gets the money for preparing these syllabi and the publish- ng company does the work. "You can depend upon It that the matter will be sifted thoroughly and if the state is paying for something it is not getting. I, for one. will resist the further appropriation of such an amount of money." It is estimated in the budget that 10 volumes of the reports will be prepared during the next two years, for which the reporter will receive $5000, and a deficiency appropriation of $2500 is asked for 1916, in addition. CHANGES IN ACT ARE FAVORED Accident Commission Would Help Small Employers. SALEM. Or.. Jan. 8. (Special.) The State Industrial Accident Commission today announcen mat it wouia sup port a number of amendments to the workmen's compensation act. Included In these is an amendment to make it a misdemeanor for an employer to com pel a new workman about to enter his service to reject the act; an amendment to extend protection to private em plovers, making it possible fpr any em ployer to secure protection under the law by agreeing not only to pay tne workmen's contribution of 1 cent a day, but a percentage according to the occupation in which he may be en gaged. In commenting upon this feature tne Commission says: "The Commission s inability to extend protection to small employers has probably caused more dissatisfaction with the workmen's compensation act than all other causes combined." .

DECISIOX PLEASES MR. HUTTOX Danger of Removal of Limit on Shipments Is Obviated. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or, Jan. 8. (Special.) R. P. Hutton. superin tendent of the Anti-Saloon League, was visibly pleased when he learned of the Supreme Court's decision on the Webb Kenyon bill today. He said: "It makes it easy for us now to enact a bone-dry law without danger of finding: ourselves with the gates bf importation thrown wide open through possible repeal of certarn provisions of the existing prohibition law. The pro posed bone-dry law necessarily will re peal those sections of th existing law permitting the importation of limited Quantities or liquor. "Now, had the Supreme Court held the Webb-Kenyon law unconstitutional, our bone-dry bill would have been in operative and the limit on shipments would have been removed." Balaklava Veteran Dies.
