DEBATE GROWS LIVELY
ACTION DEFERRED ONE DAY
CongTess Also Asked for $3,000,000
(fop Naval Base on Colombia
and $390,000 for Harbor
. at Crescent City, Cal.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or.. Jan. 15.
(Special.) After a deal of high-flung
oratory, Democratic Senators profess
ing to believe that criticism of Presi
dent Wilson was intended, the Senate
today adopted Senator - Lewis' Joint
memorial asking the President for the
speedy return of Oregon troops on the
llexican border.
What made the memorial obnoxious
to Democratic political sensibilities ap
peared to be that It was addressed to
the President, as well as a section
reading: "Whereas, there is no im
perative need for said members of the
Oregon National Guard at said place,
and It is the desire of the people of the
State of Oregon that they be returned
to their homes.. .
Whatever it was, the change was
made, first by Senator Garland, then
by Senator Wilbur, and finally by
Senator Strayer, all Democrats, that
there was political significance in the
request for the return of the troops.
Blemorla Adopted SO to .
After an hour's talk, which sounded
tn spots Ike last Fal'ls eection cam
paigning, the memorial was adopted,
30 votes to 9. It now goes to the
House.
The five Democratic Senators, Bald
wln. Garland, Pierce, Strayer and Wil
bur, lined up solidly against it. With
them voted four Republicans: Bishop,
liddy. Gill and Vinton.
"I got some of the boys in the cav
alry troop to enlist, thinking they were
needed because of a state of war,"
said Orton. "Now we are told there
is no war.
"We have a right to ask that our
troops be returned, as other state troops
have, been returned."
Garland then announced that his ob
jection to the memorial was that "it
contains what I think is an unjust
reflection on the President of the
United States." He said the keeping
of troops on the border had contrib
uted to peace.
Political Aspect Charged,
luston, of Multnomah, said he would
vote for the memorial, not in any par
tisan spirit, but because he thought
the state ought to let the Government
know it wanted its troops sent home
when opportunity offered.
"The memorial has a political aspect
that is unfortunate," asserted Wilbur
(Dem.) in his maiden speech as a
Senator. "It teaches mutiny and in
subordination." "I am amused," Interposed Olson, of
Multnomah, "at the solicitude of som
of the Senators against advising the
President, when we have been adopt
ing memorials advising Congress to
vote the District of Columbia dry and
making all kinds of other suggestions
to various departments of the Govern
ment. "I didn't see any politics In this
memorial until the Democratic brethren
brought up the issue. Now I really
begin to wonder if Idaho troops were
sent home because the state went Dem
ocratic, and Oregon troops are kept
down there because we didn't go Dem
ocratic." Naval Lease Asked.
Pierce (Dem.) and Strayer (Dem.)
chimed in against the memorial, in
which they were Joined by Vinton and
Eddy, both Republicans, on the ground
that the Oregon Senate shouldn't seek
to interfere with military affairs. Hur
ley spoke for the memorial.
The memorial adopted by a heavier
than 2-to-l vote, the Senate then
adopted the Joint memorial introduced
by Smith, of Josephine, urging Con
gress to appropriate $390,000 for im
provement of the harbor at Crescent
City. Cal., on the ground that it would
help Oregon. The memorial carried, 18
Votes to 9.
Shortly before final adjournment,
Lelnenweber, of Clatsop, introduced a
Joint memorial asking Congress to ap
propriate ?3, 000. 000 for a naval base at
the mouth of the Columbia.

STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Jan. 15. (Special.) This being the era of women's rights, with girl ushers in the
theaters, women members of the Legislature and a woman elected to Congress, it's quite in keeping with the times
that there should be a girl page in each house of the Oregon Legislature.
Miss Marie Briggs, of Salem, is the girl page in the House. She is 18 years old and a graduate of the Salem
High School. Miss Briggs is a daughter of H. L. Brlggs, and it is her ambition to go to college and qualify herself
for teacher in physical culture. She likes her position as page and is happy in the work.
Miss Ruth M. Jones, the girl page in the Senate, is 17 years old. but would be taken for" 14 If somebody hadn't
given away the secret. She is a senior in the Salem High School, where she is taking a classical course preparatory
to entering college. She is also an accomplished musician. She was born and reared in Salem.

(Special.) Japanese ownership of

a few years ago. Is made an Oregon
issue by Senate bill No. 61, introduced
by Senator Wilbur. It prohibits aliens,
who are. not eligible for citlzenshiD.
including Japanese, Chinese and Hindus,
rrom owning land In Oregon, or from
leading land for more than three years.
Associations or corporations, a ma
jority of whose stock is so owned, are
subject to the same restriction.
Land now owned by Japanese,
Chinese or Hindus, is to escheat to the
state on their death. A money con

after the California law.
FREE TEXTBOOK IS AIM
BILL WOULD LEVY TAX TO PAY
FOR THEIR. COST.
Measure Would Make Public, Parochial
or Denominational Schools Benefit!
Bar HiKh Schools.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or, Jan. 15.
(Special.) If the bill which Represen
tative Tichenor, of Coos and Curry, In
troduced in the House today providing
for the free distribution of textbooks
becomes a law there would be created
a state textbook board with unlimited
powers of levying taxes upon all tax
able property in the state to pay for
the cost of such books, provided the 6
per cent tax limitation amendment left
funds available for that purpose.
The bill leaves the number and char
acter of the textbooks to be printed
solely to the judgment of the county
textbook boards, who are required to
make up their lists of books, together
with the estimates ' of costs, and for
ward them to the State School Super
intendent, who transmits them to the
state textbook board.
The kind and number of textbooks
the bill provides are to be determined
by the clerk of the school district, who
certifies a list to the County School
Superintendent, who submits It to the
county textbook board, composed of the
County Judge, Commissioners, County
Treasurer and School Superintendent.
The board passes the list to the State
School Superintendent, whose duty is
to file an estimate of the sum to be
raised by millage tax for requirements
under the act. It then becomes com
pulsory for the state textbook board,
composed of the Governor, Secretary of
State, State Treasurer and Superin
tendent of Public Instruction, annually
to cause to be levied and collected a
millage tax on all of the assessed prop
erty of the state sufficient to raise
funds for carrying out the act, based
upon the estimate furnished by the Su
perintendent of Public Instruction.
Under the proposed law the books
are to be distributed free of cost to all
enrolled pupils of schools in the state,
"either public, parochial or denomina
tional in said district," the only excep
tion made being in the case of high
schools, which are barred from the
privileges of the act.

15. (Special.) Representative
Schlmpff. of Astoria, Is a chess fiend.
Schimpff. of Astoria, is a chess fiend.
He carries a miniature chess board
and chess pieces in his pockets, and
engages his friends in a game at every
opportuniy. On the train coming up
from Portland this morning he beat C.
C. Chapman, who also is considered
somewhat of a shark at the game.
Representative Burton didn't think
he would need a stenographer earlier
in the session, but has been forced to
change his mind. When he let it be
known that he was going to employ
a stenographer he decided to conduct
a more or less informal civil service
examination. Five eager young women
got ready to brave the test. One of
them dropped out at the first lap. An
other succumbed on the spelling test,
while three remained to the finish.
One essential difference between a
Senator and a Representative is that a
Senator selects his cigars with great
care, whereas a Representative in all
charity, the less said about a Repre
sentative the better. Among the Sen
ators who are clrgar connoissleurs are

to the Governor advising that, in his

a year.

had spoken In opposition to the
measure, when Mrs. Thompson came to
its support.
"Sherman County is a big county In

pect him to work a whole year for a
paltry (1000. I understand that the
present superintendent Is obliged to do
other work to support his family."
