TITE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1917. SENATE WONT FUSS OVER PROHIBITION Upper House at Salem Gets . Ready to Vote Yes as Soon v as Word Is Mentioned. DISCUSSION ONLY CURSORY fwo Memorials to Congress on Dry Iavs Are Adopted in lO Min utes I To uo Not Quite so fnanimous, However. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 11. (Special.) One of the most certain things In the world' at this stage of the session, at least, is that the Sen ate doesn't intend to let anybody in veigle it into an argument, much less a Jangle, over the prohibition issue. Let any member so much as breathe the word "prohibition," no matter how softly, and 29 Senators straightway sit upright in their chairs, compress theh llps and make haste to vote "Aye" on the question, whatever it is. Do they argue? Nary a quibble. No body even discusses it, except, possibly, the member who proposed the question, and he touches only the very high spots. All he has to do 13 to say. "Mr. President and Senators, this is a Joint memorial, or a resolution, or a bill dealing with the prohibition question," and then and thereupon the vote la as good as unanimous in its favor. Prohibition Idea Prevails. Apparently the Senators have made up their minds' that prohibition is here, that instead of there being less prohibi tion in future there is going to be more, and that they might just as well save themselves unnecessary trouble and reproaches by passing any prohi bition measures the people want, or the Senators think they want, without further ado. This attitude of the Senatorial mind was well illustrated this morning when two more of Senator Kddy's joint me morials to Congress on the K-ational prohibition issue came up for adoption. One of these memorials petitions Con gress to make haste and submit to the states for ratification a National pro hibition law. The other memorial urges Congress to pass a law barring liquor advertisements from the malls. Both Adopted In 10 Minutes. There have been sessions of the Leg islature, and not so very long ago, either, when a memorial of thl3 kind would have been good for half a day's Impassioned talk. Today it took the Senate Just 10 minutes to adopt them both by unanimous vote. Not a Senator so much as opened his heead about either memorial except Senator Eddy, their sponsor, who briefly explained them, and Senator Huston, who asked a question that apparently was answered to his deepest satisfac tion, for he responded on rollcall with a loud "aye." One memorial paBsed with 27 ayes and the other with 28 ayes, another Senator having come Into the chamber. Both memorials now go over to- the House, which will undoubtedly pass them, but probably not with the same joyful unanimity. As will be remembered, the first measure of any kind considered by both Houses at this session was another Joint memorial by Senator Eddy, peti tioning Congress to vote the District of Columbia dry. The Senate put it through unanimously, but seven Rep resentatives voted no. SENATE BILLS PILE VP FAST Documents Introduced Creeping Toward the Century Mark. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan. 11.

The State Editorial Associa tion will maintain an active lobby against the measure. 2 0 -DAY RECESS IS PROPOSED Resolution Introduced Calling for . Break in legislature's Work. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Jan. 11. Senator Wilbur, of Hood River, intro duced in the Senate today a Joint reso lution providing that the Legislature put on the ballot for the next general election an amendment to the state constitution requiring that the Legisla ture meet for 20 days, recess 20 days OLCOTT AID IS ONE OP OLDEST EMPLOYES IN SERVICE OF STATE. ' . ? t ' . V 'A r- Nicholas J. Haas. SALEM. Or.. Jan. 11. (Spe cial.) This is the 13th consecu tive legislative session for which Nicholas J. Haas, of the Secre tary of State's office, has had charge of furnishing supplies, and the 15th session with which he has been connected. With the possible exception of Charles Holstrom, night watchman at the building, Mr. Haas is the oldest employe about the Capitol now In the state's service. He Is mana ger of the notarial, law book, fil ing, supply and recording de partments of the Secretary of State's office and he probably knows more Individual legislators and ex-legislators than any man in Oregon. In 1889 he started his connection with legislatures when he served as mailing clerk in the House. He went into the Secre tary of State's office under Secre tary McBrlde, and has served un der Secretaries Kincald, Dunbar, Benson and Olcott. and then come back to work until all its business Is finished. Under this amendment, three-fourths consent would be necessary to introduce any dih in the second part of the ses sion. TRAVEL BALANGES LEFT COVERXOR WITHTCOMBE HAS SUR PLUS OF 6 CEXTS. Investigators 'Will Also Find Secretary of State With $225.40 and Treas urer With C3G0.75. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or.. Jan. 11. (Special.) The probe of the Joint ways and means committee into the traevllng expenses of va rious state officials, including Gov ernor Withycombe. Secretary of State Olcott and State Treasurer Kay, will show that the Governor now has an un expended balance of 6 cents In his traveling fund of $1000 appropriated two years ago; that the Secretary of State has an unexpended balance of $225.40 from a $500 appropriation and the State Treasurer an unexpended bal ance of $360.75 from an aDDrourlat ion of $500. A complete and detailed statement of all the money expended by state offi cials and employes for traveling ex penses during the years 1915 and 1916 is called for In a resolution dropped Into the House hopper this af tern Aon by Representative Bean, of Lane. The resolution calls attention to the fact that the several officers and de partments are asking appropriations for traveling expenses and continues by pointing out that there Is no de tailed statement in the reports of ex pendltures for traveling during the last two years. v A similar demand has gone forth from the Joint ways and means com mittees, but Representative Bean wants this information for members of the House. , Numerous demands' made on the Gov ernor account for the greater expendi tures made by that official in his travel ing expense account. In addition, the question of the Governors' conference will qome before -the Legislature. While the executive did not attend the con ference last year, the year before he went to the conference at Salt Lake, and it Is considered here as fitting that the state should be represented at such Interstate conferences of the executives. It Is known that the Governor has expended a considerable sum of money from his own pocket for traveling ex penses. Both the Secretary of State and State Treasurer expressed themselves today as having no objection if the ways and means committee decides to cut down their traveling expenses. Mr. Olcott said he would be willing to have it re duced to half of the former appropri ation and Mr. Kay said a reduction to $300 would leave him sufficient for the necessary traveling expenses. As mem bers of the board they are required to v4sit state institutions outside of Sa lem, it is possible tor' the members of the board to draw upon various other accounts for traveling expenses'under the law when their trips are made In connection with the work for which such funds are provided, but it has been the concensus of opinion that It would be preferable to have a stipulated sum for traveling expenses. llurlburt's Bin Is Introduced. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or.. Jan. 11. (Special.) The measure advocated by Sheriff Hurlburt, of Multnomah County, to take out of the hands of the fenerur the reeding of county pris oners and all attendant profit there on, which has been a source of. much good revenue to Sheriff's in the past, was Introduced today by Senator Far rell, of the Multnomah delegation. The bill is limited to counties of 100.000 or over. The county either may feed the prisoners by direct appropriation, or by letting a contract to a low bidder un der Its provisions.

HOPE FOR PASSAGE SEEN If Bill Contains No Emergency Sec tion It Can Be Referred, Which, It Is Believed, Would Re sult in Its Approval. 6TATE CAPITOL, Olympia, Wash., Jan. 11. (Special.) Straight prohibi tion as a legislative issue was for mally launched In the House today by E. E.. Halsey, of Asotin, with the In troduction of a "bone-dry" bill indorsed by the Anti-Saloon League. If passed the bill will prohibit all shipments of intoxicating liquor of any kind into the state, except for sacra mental purposes and provides for public hearings before the County Audi tor before it may be obtained in this manner. The bill limits alcohol Im portations to druggists and manufac turing druggists to be for mechanical purposes only. Penalties for the first offense are fixed at from $99 to $250 or 30 to 90 days in Jail; $200 to $500 for the second offense and 30 days to six months imprisonment, while the third offense is made a prison penalty of from one to five years. Representative Halsey Confident If the bill is passed with an emer gency clause it will go into effect im mediately and cannot be sent to a ref erendum. If referred, it is generally believed that the bill will pass. Sentiment of the controling organiza tion of the House is understood to be opposed to passage at this session, on the argument that the present law is sufficient for the present and oppor tunity should be taken to note the working of total prohibition in other states that have adopted it. Represen tative Halsey said, however, that a fair chance has been promised the bill by the rules committee and he is con fident that It will meet no fatal op position. Interest In the dry prospect was further increased today, when W. W. Connor, Speaker last session, and al ways heretofore classed as a wet, ad dressed the House under courtesy and mentioned prohibition as one issue the people had overwhelmingly expressed themselves In favor of; a sentiment, he said, the Legislature could not do otherwise than follow. Military Training I'reed. Another bill provocative of hot con tention was offered today by Repre sentative Zednick. providing for com pulsory military training In high schools for boys, with nursing and domestic hygiene courses for girls. Instructors are to be employed on the same basis as other teachers, approval of the courses adopted being left subject to the Adjutant-General. Two hours a week are set aeide for military Instruc tion and the cost is limited to $3 per capita of high schools" enrollment in each district, the latter to furnish all books and equipment. The Senate passed the short session today In wrangling over a resolution by Senator Landon, by which books will be kept on each Senator as to the cost of legislation imposed by the Introduc tion of bills. The regulation finally passed by a vote of 35 to 1. It is accepted as a handy means of avoiding the introduction of bills offered by lobbyists and privato interests gener ally. Roads' Committee Large. Southwestern and Central Washing ton legislators attained influential po sition by the announcement of com mittee assignments today in both chambers. This Is especially true of the powerful roads committee in the House, which contains 31 members and will have the disposal of millions of dollars' worth of road improvement. HOL'SE HITS SLOW PACE Total of Only 55 Measures so Far Have Made Appearance. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or.. Jan. 11. (Special.) Business in the House continues to drag. Bills are slow in coming in and some of the commit tees have no work to do. Only 11 bills made their appearance today, and three of those would not have come In had not the House re verted to the order of introduction and first reading of bills this afternoon to permit Representative Lewis to drop three measures into the hopper. A total of 55 bills now are in the House. Two House bills already have run their course through committee and are awaiting third reading. They are No. 6. by Bowman, regulating stock running at large, and No. 10, by Forbes and Burdlck, fixing the time for hold ing court in the Eighteenth District. Among the House bills introduced today is one appropriating $25,000 to defray the expenses of the present ses sion. It carries an emergency clause. Both houses probably will adjourn tomorrow until next Monday. , TROOPS' RETCRN IS DESIRED Memorial to . President Introduced in Senate at Salem. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Jan. 11. (Special.)

SCHOOL- LAND BILIj PROPOSED Representative Bean "Would Give Title When 60 Per Cent Is Paid. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or.. Jan. 11. (Special.) Representative Bean In troduced a bill In the House this morn ing designed to protect the property of landowners who borrow money from the state school fund. It provided that JIAILIXR CLERK HAS HAD MUCH EXPERIENCE. W. F McAdama. STATE CAPITOL, Salem.. Or.. Jan. 11. (Special.)- "Billy" Mc Adams, mailing clerk in the House of Representatives, Is serving his fifth consecutive ses sion. He first was elected In 1909 and has been re-elected at each succeeding se.selon with a constantly increasing vote. This year he had no opposition. In the four sessions that he has been on the job he has not lost a single piece of mall. His home Is In Independence. when 60 per cent of the loan has been repaid, the borrower can take title to the property and give a mortgage for the remaining 40 per cent. Under the present law borrowers sometimes suffer the loss of their nrOD- erty if they are unable to complete pay ments. EXTENSIONAIDPROPOSED SENATOR STRAYER WOULD CUT OFF STATE APPROPRIATIONS. Question of Such Bills May Be Before Joint Ways and Means Commit- tee, and Draw Lobby. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or, Jan. 11. (Special.) Senator Strayer, of the Senate ways and means committee, stated this morning that he proposes to Introduce a bill or bills which will do away entirely with the extension service work of the Oregon Agricultu ral College and the University of Ore gon, and, through the abolition of both, he states, the taxpayers of Oregon would be saved an aggregate amount of $173,852. The extension service Tor the Oregon Agricultural College is asking an ap propriation totaling $121,866. The serv ice. It Is estimated, also will receive $43,236 from the counties, which will not be received if the state appropria tion is done away with, and Senator Strayer states that as such moneys come from the taxpayer the elimination of the state appropriation also would save the taxpayers the money paid by the counties. The University of Oregon estimates it extension service cost at $8750. It. is possible that Senator Strayer may place the question of such bills before the Joint ways and means com mittee and endeavor to secure a report from that committee containing bills doing away with all extension service appropriations. However, If that Is not done, he will Introduce tuch bills himself, he states. and make every endeavor, to secure their passage. Such bills are apt to bring a big lobby to the capltol to fight their pas sage, as the Oregon Agricultural Col lege. In particular, shows considerable activity In extension work and consid ers It a decidedly important depart ment of the school. SHORT BALLOT WANTED X1R. It LB LI ALSO WOULD ABOLISH CANDIDATES' PAMPHLETS. Savins; of Several Thousands Foreseen by Two Economy Measures That Are Proposed. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Jan. 11. (Special.) Two economies in elec tion expenses are proposed by Repre sentative Kubli, chairman of the House ways and means committee. These In clude the discontinuance of the state publication of pamphlets for candi dates and a proposal for the short Bhow that during 1915-18 the state expended $11,787.25 for the can didates' pamphlets for the primary and general elections. The candidates themselves paid $3035 for space used, leaving a net cost to the state of $8752.25. Representative Kubll is satisfied that this pamphlet could be discontinued without causing injustice to any candi date or to the people at large. Under his short ballot proposal he would have a ballot similar to the one used in Wisconsin. On that form of a ballot each political party comes under a head. The voter can vote either a straight ticket or a split ticket, as he wishes. The measures would be ar ranged underneath the political party spaces and the entire ballot would be at least one-half the slae of that how In use. In addition, Mr. Kubli said, other election expenses would be materially decreased by reduction In the time taken for counting such ballots. He believes that in Portland one election board at each precinct would be done away with entirely.

COST REPORTS PROPOSED Changes Simplifying and Hasten ing Court Proceedings Aim and Pensioning of Supreme Jus tices Also Is Advocated. . Four bills providing changes, and ad ditions in the state Judicial laws have been forwarded to the House and Sen ate Judiciary committees of the Legis lature by the legislative committee of the Oregon Bar Association. The bills make changes and additions to existing laws which are considered Important. The committee which drafted the bills comprises Charles H. Carey, John H. Hall, George H. Davis and W. D. Fenton. The bills provide for the making of a quarterly report by each County Clerk for filing with the Secretary of State of all Judicial business and the expense Incident thereto; for new pro ceedings and limitations regarding ap peals to the State Supremo Court; for changes In procedure where a cause is brought on the wrong side of the court: for the retirement and pension ing of Justices of the Supreme Court In addition to the four bills the com mittee recommended favorable action on a concurrent resolution introduced In the Senate by Senator Conrad P. Olson providing for the appointment of a commission on law reform to serve without pay. The measure would have the Supreme Court appoint a com mission to report at the next session of the Legislature. The committee says the purpose is to simplify Judicial prac tice and procedure and eliminate some expense now necessary in court pro ceedings. Cost to Be Studied. As a part of these changes the Bar Association committee recommends the enactment of the bill regarding reports by counties of Judicial business. This, together with statements of the ex pense, will be of value for study and comparisons. There Is no law cover ing the subject now, it is said. . The bill relating to appeals to the Supreme Court is aimed to relieve con gestion in the court. The measure would eliminate appeals in cases in volving less than $500 unless some question of importance is included. The committee says, in a report sent with the bills, that the amendment proposed has been carefully drawn to accom plish this purpose and at the same time make it practicable to appeal In minor cases where the appeal should be allowed. The bill regarding changes In pro cedure would amend section 390 of the code. The amendment. If passed, will permit equitable defenses to be pleaded in actions at law, and to transfer cases without losing Jurisdiction under ex isting law or being compelled to dis miss them without a final determina tion Pensioning; Justices Proposed. The bill for the retirement of Jus tices of the Supreme Court follows the Federal statute on the same subject It provides for retirement on a salary of $3000 a year at the age of 70 years. The bill carries an additional provision to take care of Justices who may be compelled to retire from the bench after long service, because of total in capacitation by illness. "In the nature of the work on this bench." says the committee's report, "Judges are unable to give time and attention to the accumulation of an estate and are likely to be left with out provision for their old age." The bill would allow justices who are re tired in this way an annual salary of $3000, provided the ludge has been on the bench for 10 consecutive years prior to his reaching the age of 70. In the case of a Judge being retired for physical disability he would be entitled, to a pension If he has served for nine consecutive years. The committee makes a request that the four bills. If approved by the House and Senate committees, be Introduced by these committees as committee bills. Members of the committee offer to ap pear before the Legislative committees or the Legislative Assembly as a whole to ulscuss the bills. SECTARIAN SCHOOLS HIT RKFRE 5 EXTATIVI5 BOWMAN'S BILL WOULD STOP STATE SUPPORT. Measure Would Affect Seriously J am ber of Such Institutions 1 1 Last Ap propriation About 11 3344. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Jan. 11. (Special.) If a bill whjh Representa tive Bowman, of HHlsboro, has Intro duced In the House becomes a law. It will be Impossible for the courts to commit dependent children to any sec tarian institution, or for the state or any county to appropriate money for the support of any children hereafter committed to sectarian institutions. This measure would affect seriously a number of important sectarian Insti tutions now receiving state aid. Dur ing the last blennlurn an aggregate of about $113,31-1 was paid by the state to various institutions, sectarian and nonsectarian, for the support of de pendent children. Representative Bowman's bill Is aimed only at the sectarian schools, and defines a sectarian Institution as "one under the control or management of some church, or whose manager or superintendent Is or has been a min ister, preacher, priest, sister, or other Individual who was or Is officiating in a religious capacity." A nonsectarian institution Is defined as one "not engaged In the Instructing or teaching of any religious Idea or dogma, either Catholic, Protestant, or Jewish." The bill then specifies that no court shall commit any dependent delinquent or defective child to any sectarian In stitution without the cousent of one or both parents.

A measure introduced to day by Senator Diniick prohibits any person from feeding wild ducks with wheat or other food with intent to at tract them so as to shoot them. The bill makes it a misdemeanor punishable by fine of toO to or imprisonment of 30 days to bait wild ducks in this manner or to shoot them within 00 yards of any duck lake so baited. This measure is likely to draw the ire of Multnomah County sportsmen, against whom it seems to be directed. There has been complaint from the southern part of the state that the practice of the northern sportsmen in feeding ducks keeps the ducks there so long that they migrate later than normally and do not stop en route, thus depriving the southern sportsmen of their duck hunting. achy, dizzy, tongue coated, breath bad and stomach sour Why don't you set a 10-cent box of Cancarets at the drus store and feel bully?
