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.

Applicants for farm loans are di
vided by the bill into two classes. In
the first class are actual residents on

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

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.

duced by Olson and carried that the
Senate and House meet in the House
chamber at 2 o'clock tomorrow to hear

of both houses to pass upon and rec
ommend the amounts to be appropri

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

posals for elimination of useless boards
or commissions, and consolidation of

STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Jan. 8.
(Special.)' 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

siding, to select nominees for the vari
ous clerkships and other, positions.
There were four candidates for read
ing clerk, so the House made each of

by the whole House and afterwards
unanimously ratified: W. F. Dragrer.
of Salem, chief clerk; Merrill Moores.
of Portland, journal clerk; Ben Hunt

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.
As soon as the clerks were sworn In
by Chief Justice Moore, the Joint me
morial asking Congress to make the
District of Columbia "dry" came over
from the Senate and was adopted by a
vote of 53 to 7. .
The Speaker appointed the following
committee on rules: Mrs. Thompson,
Forbes, Call an, Mackay and Corbett.
SENATE -DESK VETERAN
WITH OXE . EXCEPTION CLERKS
AKE EXPERIENCED MEN.
John W. 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. He fought in the Civil
War.
The sole new man In the organiza
tion is Walter L. Tooze. of Salem, read
ing clerk-elect. And he has served In
similar capacity before, though not
at the last session. 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."

Look at Tongue I Then Give Fruit
Laxative for Stomach,

"California Syrup of Figs" Can't
Harm Children and
They Love It
- i
A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver geta sluggish; stomach
sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! If coat,
ed. or your child is listless, doesn't eat
heartily, full of cold or has sore throat
or any other children's ailment, give a
teaspoonful of "California fcyrup of
Figs." then don't worry, because it is
perfectly harmless, and in a few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently move
out of the bowels, and you have a well,
playful child again. A thorough "inside
cleansing" is oiltlmes all that is neces
sary. It should be the first treatment
given in any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask
your druggist for a 60-cent bottle of
"California Syrup of Figs." which has
full directions for babies, children of all
ages and for grown-ups plainly printed
on the bottle. Look carefully and e
that it is made by the "California I

Lazy Bowels
Respond Quickly
to Paraffine
Lubrication means increased action.
This is a well-defined principle and has
now been demonstrated in the case of
inactive bowels.
By a purely mechanical process it
has been abundantly demonstrated that
Ameroll, or pure paraffine oil, will lu
bricate the bowels, softening the con
tents and causing an easy and natural
movement.
Ameroll is being more and more
widely used for constipation and vari
ous other disorders of the intestinal
tract.
l.t has been shown that Ameroll does
not in any way affect the digestive
processes, that it does not absorb Into
the system and that it has healing
properties very valuable where Irrita
tion is present. Taken' inwardly, it
simply passes through the bowels, oil
ing the intestinal channels as it goes
along and softening the hardened
masses which have caused tho consti
pation. Ameroll Is colorless, tasteless and
odorless, most agreeable to take and
causes no gripe nor pain. It is sold at
SO cents per pint bottle at all Owl Drug
Stores.
