STATE CAPITOU Salem. Or.. Jan. 19.
fEpeciaL) One-third of the legislative
session ended when the two Houses ad
journed today, until next Monday.
The 40-day limit which the law. sets
on the length or the session will ex
pire four weeks -from tonight. ,
Looking- back over the accomplish
ments of the last two weeks it appears
that the real hard work remains yet
to be done. With the exception of the
irrigation code, which made its appear
ance today, none of the big constructive
measures that this Legislature is
pledged to enact into law has been in
troduced. But many of them are on
their way. The insurance code, a new
highway code and a whole grist of con
solidation measures are sure to come
in. within the next 10 days.
Dry Bill to Pass Soon.
The "bone-dry" prohibition bill Is
In the House and probably will be
passed before the end of next week. It
carries the emergency clause and has
no serious opposition In either House.
The volume of new bills in both
Houses was greater this week than
last.
The Senate has 119 bills on Its cal
endar, compared with 98 at this time
in 1915, and the House has 176, com
pared to 206.
Four bill3 have passed both Houses
Rnd one has been signed br the Gov
ernor. It carries the emergency clause
and is now a law. That is House bill
No. 60. appropriating $25,000 for the
initial expenses of the session.
Three Other Bills Passed.
The other bills that have passed both
riouses are House Bill No. 10, by the
Deschutes County delegation, fixing
the time for holding court In the
Eighteenth Judicial district; Senate
Bill No. 7, by Eddy, granting Judgment
debtors time to redeem property sold
on execution, and Senate Bill No. 25,
by. Strayer, amending the mining law
eo as to insert a word that had been
omitted.
The House has passed an aggregate
of 24 of Its own bills; the Senate 18
of its bills. Nine House bills and four
Senate bills have been Indefinitely
postponed: two House bills and five
Senate bills are on the table; one Sen
ate bill has been withdrawn.
Six House bills will be up for third
reading and 10 for second reading on
Monday. An aggregate of 125 House
bills remains in the hands of House
committees.
In the Senate, six Senate bills will
be on third reading and 16 on second
reading on Monday. The Senate com
mittees have 69 of their own bills be
fore them.
Greatest Work Tet Ahead.
These figures show, after a fashion,
what a tremendous amount of work
must be done here in the next four
weeks. The present rate at which
new bills are coming in indicates that
the whole volume of proposed legisla
tion wili be almost as great as It was
two years ago. when an aggregate of
515 bills was Introduced in the
House and 315 in the Senate.
The big appropriation bills, which
always require careful study by the
members, necessarily cannot come in
until the closing weeks of the session,
after the ways and means committees
have their estimates.
Both houses adjourned today so that
members can prepare for the trip to
the Oregon Agricultural College at
Corvallis tomorrow. A special train
will leave Salem, over the Southern
Pacific, at 9:30 in the morning. An
all-day entertainment has been pro
vided by the students and faculty.
SO Bills Offered la House.
A total of 30 new bills were Intro
duced in the House today. Representa

Boys Like Borzage.
Frank Borzage, the Mutual's popular
actor-director of "Immediate Lee," is
the hero of small boys all over the
world.. It seems that all the boys are
especially crazy about the way the
curly-headed Westerner strikes off a
match on his thumb nail.' That seems
to impress them much more than his
daring feats of horsemanship, although
they. too. make a tremendous hit.
Mr. Borzage received a letter from
one admiring youngster the other day,
who wrote in sturdy scrawl: "Frank
Borzag. frend Frank, Go to it Frank,
the way you lite matches Is fine. I'd
rather see you lite matches Frank
than mak luv to that girl Anna Little.

Frank Borzage had a special picture

should provide the rain. The roadway
and the tree had been ' previously se'

Peters and Miss Stedman were In one

Gilliam Man Says tf School Figures
Given Reflect on Mr. Kay in
Any Manner That It Is
Official's Own FanlU
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Jan. 19.
(Special) The controversy between
Senator M. D. Shanks and the State
Land Board as to what kind of a rural
credits measure should be enacted by
the Legislature to make the constitu
tional amendment effective, became
more bitter today.
In reply to a previous statement by
State Treasurer Kay saying that Sen
ator Shanks' opposition to the State
Land Board is actuated by revenue, the
Senator came back with a counter
statement charging Mr. Kay with be
ing against the Shanks bill because it
would cut off patronage and interfere
with his political ambitions.
"It was Indeed far from my inten
tion to enter Into a personal contro
versy with the State Treasurer over
the manner in which he conducts the
school loan business," said Senator
Shanks, "but In order to explain my
bill for carrying into effect the rural
credits amendment and to show why
the rural credits fund should not be
handled in exactly the same way as
the school fund Is now handled. It be
came necessary for me to expose the
figures. This I did In a former state
ment. If these figures In any way re
flect on Mr. Kay, then It Is his fault
and not mine. N
Statement Termed Misleading.
r or Mr. Kay to say that there are
more delinquent loans in my county
than In any other county In the state
is somewhat misleading, inasmuch as
it has vastly more loans than most of
the counties, and with the exception of
Marlon County has more loans than
any other county In the state. The
Treasurer's report will show, on the
contrary, that in proportion to the
amount of money loaned, the loans in
Gilliam are on an average with the
rest of the loans, but even If they
were worse. It Is but further argument
In favor of more stringent rules In
connection with the rural credits fund.
"My bill for placing Into effect the
rural credits amendment had no sooner
been introduced than the State Treas
urer commenced to lobby against it
When we realize that the provfsions
of the bill remove from the board the
appointment of some 36 title examiners
throughout the state, which In Itself
would be quite a political asset to an
avowed candidate for office, we can
readily understand the effort of Mr
Kay to defeat my bill.
Personal Connection Dented. (
For the State Treasurer to say I
Ldoubtless passed
upon many of the
oans In -my county Is absolutely ab
surd. I was never the attorney for the
board In Gilliam or any other county,
and, although a former partner of
mine, as suggested by Mr. Kay. vat
attorney for the board, he had the posi
tion but a very short time after I be
came associated with him, due to the
fact that he left the county.
It is very true that I made appli
cation for appointment as agent for
the board, but at that time I was work.
ng for my personal Interests, and that
this time I am working for ttie interests
of the people of this state. I might add
that I did not get the appointment, but
never held that fact against Mr.
Kay. as I had always thought that he
used his best efforts to get me ap
pointed; so If Mr. Kay thinks that I
have harsh feelings toward him he Is
mistaken. -I deem It my duty to back
up my bill, even If the argument In
ts favor hits indirectly the office oi
Mr. Kay.
"Mr. Kay claims that in arriving at
my figures I assume mat interest is
delinquent after six -months. Most as
suredly I do assume that tne interest
s delinquent after six months, as tne
statutes of the state specifically say
that the Interest shall be payable semi
annually, and I would be glad to learn
how I can arrive at any other assump
tion." INTEREST RATE HEARING SET

Insurance Commissioner Issues Reply
to Comment and Snggestlesi
for Proposed Code.
TATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Jan. 1
(Special.) Representatives of about
30 life insurance companies, here today
on a hearing before the Joint insur
ance committee of the Senate and
House, took exception to the published
statement of H. E. Wltham. comment
ing on the proposed new insurance
code.
Following the hearing, the following
statement in reply to Mr. 'Wltham was
given out by Harvey Wells, Insurance
Commissioner:
A statement Is mad In one or the Port
land daily newspapers by H. E. Wltham
that in the opinion of aome insurance men
the state would ba benefited In a large
measure If ths proposed insurance code pro
vided for the issuing- of life Insurance poli
cies with the deferred dividend feature.
He should have added further that his
company la one of the tew that la lesutnc
these deferred dividend contracts, which
some years airo were eliminated by the ac
tion of various Legislatures, and he should
explain further how the citizens ot this
stats would benefit by such deferred divi
dend payments.
As this code haa been printed for aome
time and the life committee haa had man
public hearings, be should have made his
objections before the committee, and X am
authorized by the representatives of the life
Insurance companies who were before the
Joint committee of the House and Senate
to say that they are opposed to these Ions
deferred dividend contracts: and. further,
the representatives of our home companies
stats that they ars not Interested In having
this kind of insurance perpetuated. They
are atrongly In favor ot the enactment of the
recommendations made by the cods com
mission. Feveral objections may be found to the
deferred dividend contract in considering it
from the viewpoint of the citizen of our
state who desires to secure hla Insurance
at the loweat possible rate. It was the
abuse which grew out of the practice of
Issuing policies providing for dividents to
be paid only at the end of long-deferred
terma which led to the Armstrong investi
gation In the state rf New York.
As s result of such Investigation, the state
of New York enacted a law requiring that
the profits or aurplus accruing under partici
pating life Insurance policies should be dla
trlbuted annually and auch legislation baa
been followed by other states.
CRITICISM HELD MISLEADING
Deferred Dividends Plan Declared
to Be Found Wanting:.
"Published criticism of the proposed
Oregon Insurance code by H. E. Wlt
ham. relative to the provision requir
ing annual dividends to be paid by life
insurance companies to policyholders Is
misleading for many reasons,' said
Louis Sondheim, editor of the North
west Insurance News, yesterday. "The
matter of deferred dividends was thor
oughly threshed out by the National
convention of insurance commissioners
many years ago and the plan found
wanting. '
"As to the statement that the general
public should be allowed to decide for
Itself what form of Insurance Is want
ed. whether non-participating, annual
dividend or deferred dividend, the great
trouble Is that the public does not de
cide, but the agent does. One would
Infer from Mr. Wltham's remarks that
the proposed code bars the writing of
non-participating Insurance, which It,
of course, does not. The writing of de
ferred dividend policies rdds little. If I
anything, to the opportunities of home
companies to develop, nor does such
permission prevent premiums from go
ing to foreign companies.
"Dr. S. S. Huebner, In his recent
textbook on XI fe Insurance.' comments
at length on the merits of annual divi
dends as opposed to deferred dividends.
The underlying principle of the lat
ter plan, he says, is that those policy
holders who fail to continue premium
payments to the end of the designated
period because of death, surrender or
lapse, lose the dividends which they
would have received under the annual
dividend plan, and that the dividends
thus lost revert to those policyholders
who continue their premium payments
throughout the deferred-dividend pe
riod, being in effect seml-tontlne poli
cies. The annual distribution system.
he explains. Is not only well adapted
to the policyholder who wishes to keep
his annual premiums to the lowest
possible figures, but also serves the
purpose of making the company eco
nomical In the management of its busi
ness since extravagance will at once
be revealed by a reduction In the an
nual dividend distribution.
"As to the argument that policy
holders ought to be free to take de
ferred dividends if they want them
