SENATORS WORK OH
HEW MERGER BILLS
Committee Drafting Measure
Consolidating Labor and
Accident Commissions.
SENATE PASSES NINE BILLS
Of Tltree Memorials Adopted, One
Urges Congress to Act Quickly
on Susan IS. Anthony Suf
frage Amendment.
MATE CAPITOL,. Salem. Or.. Jan. 23.
(Special.) Although It passed nine
bills and adopted three joint memorial
to Congress, including one by Sena
tor Huston urging prompt action on
the Sudan B. Anthony National woman
suffrage amendment, this was a light
day in the Senate.
None of the bills passed was. of any
general importance. Probably the one
of greatest public interest was Senate
bill No. SO. by Cusick. requiring that
polls at school elections remain open
until 7 o'ctock P. M., instead of only
6 P. M. as at present.
The Senate consolidation committee,
of which Senator Dimick is chairman,
rrported in a second consolidation mea
sure today. It came in as a. substitute
for Senate bill No. 20. previously in
troduced by Barrett, and provides for
consolidation of the Desert Land Board
with the State Land Board.
This is one of the consolidation blllsJ
or minor importance, as. except for
elimination of one of the numerous
Btate boards, it does away only with
a clerk or two.
The committee is now working on a
substitute for Senate biH 19, also by
Barrett. The committee's measure
probably will provide for consolidation
of the Labor Commission, the" Indus
trial Accident Commission and perhaps
the Industrial "Welfare Commission, al
though these details are not all worked
out.
Differential War Pund Urged.
By the provision of House Joint reso
lution No. 8. introduced this afternoon
by Senator Pierce. $1500 is appropriated
to be used by the Public Service Com
mission of Oregon, if necessary, to carry
to a termination the fight for elimi
nation of the $17.50 differential now
charged Eastern tourists who come to
California by way of the Pacific North
west, or who return from California
that way.
An order was recently made by the
Interstate Commerce Commission di
recting elimination of this differential,
but the railroads are fighting the order.
Senator Pierce's memorial will come up
for consideration tomorrow probably
as soon as it is passed, as it undoubt
edly will be, and it will go to the House
lor action.
The Orton-Farrell bill abolishing
publication of delinquent tax notices
in newspapers, and. providing for postal-card
notices, was reported back to
day with an amendment limiting appli
cation of the measure to Multnomah
County. As amended it will be on to

LISTEN TO THIS!
SAYS CORNS LIFT
RIGHT OUT NOW
Tou reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who- have
at least once a week invited ar awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authorlty
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn, the soreness is relieved
and soon the entire corn, root and ell,
lifts out with the fingers.
It is a sticky ether compound which
dries the moment it is applied and
sinrply shrivels the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin. It is claimed
that a quarter of an ounce of freezone
will cost very little at any of the drug
stores, but is sufficient to rid one's feet
of every hard or soft corn or callus.
Tou are further warned that cutting
at a corn id a suicidal habit. Adv.
and Game Commission to close nr stream
to commercial or other iishing at Its dis
cretion, except Columbia River and main
channel of Willamette north of Oregon City
falls.
S. B. 135. by Handley Appropriating J17.

of tax levies to be published in advance of
levy, and providing for public meetings and
discussion of proposed levy by taxpayera

insurance must be written by local county

DESCHUTES COUNTY VICTOR
Fight for Legal Existence Won by
Decisive Vote in Lower House.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Jan. 23.
(Special.) Deschutes County won its
fight for legal existence by a decisive
vote in the House this morning, but
not until after Forbes and Burdick.
representing that county, had indulged
in a family quarrel over the issue.
Forbes is author of the bill, which
aims to validate the election of last
November, when Deschutes County was
carved out of a portion of Crook Coun
ty, and Bend was established as the
new county seat. Forbes lives in Bend.
That city went strong for the new
county.
Burdick lives, in Redmond, a district
which cast only 94 votes for the new
county and 471 against it.
Burdick based his opposition on the
fact that the validity of the - recent
elections now is being contested in the
courts, and that a ratification act by
the Legislature would deny the courts
the right to decide the question. .
Other members took occasional part
in the debate, but the principal con
troversy was betw,een Burdick and
Forbes, who- are seatraates and "Who
have been working like Damon and
Pythias on all other questions affect
ing their district.
The measure carries an emergency
clause.

STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or.. Jan. 2J.
(Special.) Representative Bean in
troduced In the WoUae this morning the
cold storage bill prepared by the State
Federation of Women's Clubs. It is
aimed to reduce the cost of living.

rear.
OLYr.lPIA DRY BILL
SET FOR TOMORROW
Woman Legislator Loses Her
Fight for Delay Till After
Hearing.
SCHOOL PACT REPORTED
Military Highways Favored by Samuel
Hill Are Asked of Congress.
- Referendum. Still Is Vrgcd
on Dry Measure.
OLYMPIA, Wash.. Jan. 23. (Special.)
Today's developments in "bone-dry"
lav agitation demonstrated that there
is only one question over the Halsey
bill, and that is simply one of whether
it shall be referred by the Legislature
or pass as an ordinary statute.
Bone-dry advocates who oppose a
referendum clause aree confident that
they will not. encounter moret than 20
per cent opposition in either House,
but referendum- advocates are still busy
and may succeed in delaying passage
or the bill through the Senate.
Representative Halsey, who is steer
ing the bone-dry bill - in the House,
reports a safe poll of 65 out of 97 for
the bill as it stands.
Woman Loses Move for Delay.
This strength was sufficient today to
force the bill out of the public morals
committee and into the House with a
favorable report, despite the objection
of Representative Ina P. Williams,
.chairman of the committee. She wished
to delay further action until after a
public hearing scheduled for today,
and when the bill was reported and
assigned for the Thursday calendar the
open hearing was held notwithstanding.
Nothing more conclusive developed
from a long list of voluntary speakers
than a division of sentiment ovez
whether a referendum by legislative
action is desirable.
Compromise la Reported,
Variation was added to the fast
gathering sTruggle between the State
University and State College today , by
a report that-university supporters in
the Legislature are drawing a substi
tute bill to be offered as a compromise.
In this. "It is understood, the only
courses removed from the State Col
lege wtil be forestry and architecture,
and every-effort will be made to safe
guard as much milk ge tax increase as
possible. Sentiment of both houses is
now generally accepted as immovably
aguinst imposing nearly a mill increase
as originally planned.
Pullman Firm in Stand.
Whether the two institutions can be
reconciled on a basis of each getting
the-' best possible increase of funds
seemed doubtful tonight, as State Col
lege forces maintain they will surren
der any Increase rather than a single
course of study.
The Senate passed Senate bill No. 32
by Cox of Walla Walla, which provides
for distribution of jute bags made at
the State Penitentiary to grain, oyster
and "woolgrowers on a basis of county
population. Another bill passed by the
Senate appropriates $8800 to enable the
State Public Service Commission to co
operate in the Federal revaluation of
railroads in this state.
127,2 19 Asked for Roads.
The House committee on roads and
bridges today asked for $127,249 needed
for finishing state road work already
under contract. The requisition in
cludes J6931 for the Pacific Highwaj
between Toledo and Vancouver. $2109
for state road No. 8 in Skamania
County, $26,893 for the National Park
Highway between Nemah and Ocean
Beach, $3436 to be expended northeast
from Walla Walla, $3783 in the vicinity
of Lake Quinault, In Grays Harbor
County, and $3540 on the Sunset High
way between Ellensburg" and We
natuhee. In the House, Graham of Grays Har
bor introduced an appropriation of $75,
000 for. the- erection of -a. National
Guard armory at Aberdeen. TKearby of
Kittitas submitted a proposal to divide
the state into 15 sanitary districts.
Military Road Asked.
With more road-building legislation
on hand than it can handle, the Senate
today memorialized Congress to au
thorize Federal construction of a mili
tary highway from Fort Vancouver to
Fort Canby. Another Senate memorial
asks for the construction of a military
SIDELIGHTS ON
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Jan. 23.
(Special.) The Senate this morn
ing had the pleasure of hearing one of
the briefest but most eloquent prayers
yet delivered before that body. The
prayer was made by Rev. ' George
Frederick Holt, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, of Salem, and it was
only one minute In length. Senator
Samuel M. Garland told Rev. Mr. Holt
that the prayer was one of the most
poetic and eloquent he had ever heard.
Senator Huston was another who con
gratulated the minister.
Senator LaFollett, of Marion County,
hasn't introduced a single bill, resolu
tion, petition or memorial this session.
That doesn't mean he is not on the job,
for he is one of the hardest working
and most conscientious members of the
Senate. He is a firm advocate of
economy; and never loses an oppor
tunity to speak out his mind on the
subject, no matter who he hits. Sen
ator LaFollett is also famous for the
big red apples he distributes.
Senator Eddy, Joint author wltlT Rep
resentative Anderson of the Anderson
Eddy bone-dry prohibition bill, is one
of the most finished speakers in the
Senate. He speaks forcefully and care
fully and stops when he gets through,
which is something that not all Sen
ators do.
- The Senate clock Is once more In ac
tion. When the sesKion opened some
carpenters were working on this clock
with hammers and saws. After they
got through with it the poor clock
didn't, know what to do. ?Jow it has
regained its customary aplomb . and
grinds out the hours as of yore.
Mrs. C. A. Barrett, wife of Senator
Barrett, is an enthusiastic stamp col
lector. She has several thousand
postage stamps of all countries.
A welcome visitor to the House to
day was Oscar W. Home, who was a
member at the last session. He is in
Salem to attend the convention of the
State Federation of Labor.
John Schroeder, chief clerk of the
ways and means committee, was called
back to Oregon way from Calexico on
the Mexican border to keep an eye ou
the indicator of state expense. He was
here two years ago in the same capacity
and served so well that the members
wanted him back. This is a much
more difficult session than any pre
ceding for the clerk of that committee,
but it doesn't phase John. He is a
shark at figures and he can tell you
highway from the British Columbia to
the Mexican border. Both projects are
advocated by Sam Hill as a measure of
preparedness.
Representative Albert Johnson, of the
Third District, is a strong advocate of
the Vancouver-Canby Highway.
Washington Sheriffs who meet In
state convention at Olympia tomorrow
will ask the Legislature for a ciassined
increase of salaries. If granted Grays
Harbor. Lewis. Walla Walla and Clarke
counties' salaries for Sheriffs will ' be
advanced from $1600 to $2700 annually;
Cowllts and Pacific from $1500 to $2000;
Adams and Klickitat from $1450 to
$2000; Skamania 'from $800 to $1500;
Wahkiakum from $900 to $1500; Kitti
tas and Thurston from $1600 to $2200.
and Mason from $1200 to $1800. King
County would be increased from $2400
to $5000.
llanklnsf Code Discussed.
Bankers of the state held a- hearlag
before the joint banking committees
tonight on a new state banking code
-submitted by the State Bank Exam
iner and the Washington State Bank
ers' Association. It makes character of
the applicant and necessity for another
bank in any location qualifications to
be passed upon by the State Examiner
in granting charters.
The Senate fisheries committee to
day voted a favorable) report on the
Steiner bill to repeal the Washington
Oregon agreement on Joint fishing reg
ulations for the Columbia River.- The
committee report will come into the
Senate tomorrow.
Senator Steiner says that while he
approves of joint regulation on the
river and has no objection to the terms
of existing agreement, he objects to
it becoming indefinitely binding, in the
fear that it may make additional re
strictions impossible through inability
of the two Statue Legislatures to agree
to alterations. Senator French, of
Clarke, is still confident that the pro
posed repeal will be defeated.
In joint session tonight House and
Senate military committees voted a
favorable report on the Zednick bill,
which provides compulsory military
education in high schools, the course
requiring not less than two hours
weekly. Bills facilitating the condem
nation, of the American Lake maneuver
camp site are included in the favorable
committee report.
NET FISHERS BACK BILL
BROWNELL MEASURE IS WANTED,
MOVING DEADLINE.
Attack on Administration of Gai
Laws la Made by Several at
Oregon City Meeting.
OREGON CITY. Or., Jan. 23. (Spe
cial.) A. compromise with the hook
and line fishermen, who want to close
the Willamette to net fishing, will not
be considered by the Clackamas County
Fishermen's Union.. The organized
fishermen of this county will appeal
to the Legislature to open the river
to the old deadline near the fish lad
der, as provided in a bill Introduced
by Representative George C. Brownell.
To represent the fishermen before
the Legislature, the following were se-
lected last night at an open mass meet
ing and later at a meeting of the fish
ermen's union: Joseph E. Hedges and
B. T. McBain. of the Commercial Club,
and T. R. Haines, Charles Gates and
Anton Naterlln, of the fishermen.
H. Leighton Kelly explained the
habits of the salmon and suggested
changes in the seasons, which, he
thought, would benefit both angler and
net fisherman.
Several declared that when net fish
ing was at its height, and as much
as 200 tons of salmon was taken from
the river in one season, the hatcheries
could get all the eggs they wanted,
and the anglers' sport was not reduced.
Others pleaded for the preservation of
an industry that brought to Oregon
City about $30,000 annually.
Mr. Kelly suggested that Portland
sportsmen pay less hjed to the Willam
ette just below the falls and try to
cut the politics out of the administra
tion of the state fish and game laws.)
ie said, mat ne was mucn opposed iu
moving the deadline further down the
river, and that to close the Willam
ette here to net fishing would be to
cause hundreds of tons of salmon to
go to waste each year.
J." E. Hedges. ex-State Senator, ac
cused the fish andsgame administration
of playing politics.

He was made for the big tasks. You
men of the congregation can do the
little things. In his predecessor. Dr.
Henry Marcotte, you had a fine, lovable
