6 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY G, 1917. MR HOT DIIIC ADC IIIUIILI UILLU miL PASSED IN SENATE Appropriations of $344,555 Carried for Support of a State for Two Years. REST DAY BILL KILLED SIDELIGHTS ON LEGISLATURE S Measure Restricting Competition of XJt lities Also Wins, as Does Bill to Enforce Truthful Advertising In State. STATE CAPITOI Salem, Or., Feb. B. (Special.) Appropriations totaling $344,555, the first big appropriation bills to go through botb houses of the !p resent Legislature, were passed by the Senate late today. They had pre viously passed the House. This total of J344.555, all of which la for expenses and maintenance of . various state departments and Institu tions for the next two years, was di vided among: five bills. Introduced by the Joint ways and means committee of the two houses. The appropriations included $118,100 for expenses and maintenance of the offices of the Governor,. Secretary of State and State Treasurer; $74,435 for the Oregon State Training School; $55,- 260 for the Oregon State School for the Deaf: $33,320 for the office of Attorney Oeneral, and $59,440 for the upkeep of the State Capitol and Supreme Court building. 369,555 TXtnr Appropriated. The only other appropriation meas ure that has passed both houses was a bill carried early in the session ap propriating $25,000 toward the expenses of the Legislature. Adding this $25,000 to the money ap propriated today brings the sum total of actual appropriations to date to $369,555. The Senate had one of the busiest days of the sesslov When It adjourned shortly before 6 o'clock It had passed 19 bills, several of them being meas ures of importance, and had killed five others. One of the bills that met an instan taneous and painless death was S. B. 14 6, Dr. G. L. Tuft's one-day-rest-ln-eeven measure. It died without even a rollcall, being indefinitely postponed automatically when an adverse report on it by the Judiciary committee was adopted. Bill Aimed ut Multnomah Lost, Senator Dimick's bill to prohibit the feeding or baiting of wild ducks, aimed particularly at Multnomah County sportsmen, was killed on final passage by a vote of 18 to 10. The Senate had threshed out the wild-duck situation pretty thoroughly last Friday when nearly every Senator on the floor spoke for or fornlst a re port by the Game Commission recom mending indefinite postponement, which was voted down at the time. So when Senator Garland shut off de pate today by moying the previous Question there was no outcry. Those voting to kill the bill were: Senators Barrett, Bishop. Farrell. Gill, Handley, Hurley, Huston. Leinenweber, Lewis, Olson, Orton, Pierce, Shanka, . Smith of Coos, Steiwer, Von der Hellen, Wilbur and Moser. Pheasant-Protection Bill Killed. Those voting for the bill were: Sen ators Baldwin. Dimick. Eddy, Garland, Hawley, Lafollett. Smith of Josephine, " Strayer. Vinton and Wood. Immediately thereafter the Senate killed off another bill of Dimick's, to prohibit the hunting of Chinese pheas ants until October 1, 1919. Cusick and other senators pointed out that the State Fish and Game Commission al ready has authority to close the sea eon on pheasants at its discretion. With only five negative votes, the Senate passed the so-called public ne cessity bill. This measure, S. B. 165, modeled after the Wisconsin law and similar laws In other states, limits public utility com petition by requiring that no compel lng company may enter the field against an established utility, unless the Public Service Commission, after a hearing, shall issue a certificate that the new utility Is needed for the publlo convenience and necessity. Duplication Aimed At. Senator Vinton, of YamhilL declared the proposed law would give the Pub- lie Service Commission dictatorial power to thwart the will of the people . of any municipality. He Insinuated that an active lobby had been working for the MIL "The Senator evidently does not com prehend the real purpose of this meas ure," replied Olson of Multnomah. "It Is designed to end out-throat competi tion between publlo utilities where there Is room for only one utility. The people in such cases always have to pay out or their own pockets In the end. He cited as examples the needless building of two railroad lines up the TATE CAPITOL, Salem. Feb. (Special.) When Miss Clarabelle Fos or Mrs. H. H. Houser. that Is returned to her desk in the -enrolling committee room this morning it was gaily decorated with old shoes, rib bons and the general paraphernalia ac corded a blushing bride. H. H. Houser, clerk to Representative Crandall, and Miss .Clarabelle Foster, of the enroll ing committee's force were quietly married Saturday afternoon at the Methodist parsonage In this city, spent their honeymoon in Portland over Sunday and returned to their work this morning. They were royally greeted by their employers and friends upon their return. As far as is known this is the first legislative romance of the session, although it is hinted a few oth'ers are developing which may culminate later. The favorite pastime about the capltol Just now Is asking Sam. Whenever a legislator gets stuck on any fine legal point or question about the state's affairs does he take the trouble to look it up? Not by the hair on his chin. He Just asks Sam and finds out. Sam Kozer used to make his permanent home in Astoria, but he has really lived In Salem so long that the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. He has been chief deputy under so many secretaries of- state he can't count 'em himself and still holds down the Job under Secretary Olcott. He Is a walking encyclopediai-of facts and figures and whenever he tells you what is what, it certainly is what and there is no dispute. So why should the legislators worry about prying around in reference works for information? They don't. . They Just ask Sam, for he knows. In the Gray Belle, a popular eating place with Senators, Representatives and legislative, attaches, there Is a grandfatfierly old clock that for years and - years in the days before the drought used to give the boys the 6. time of day in the saloon of Frank B. Talkington. At exactly 4 -o'clock Friday after noon, the vtry minute and second that Governor Withycombe was signing the bone-dry bill, this old clock stopped running. It not only stopped, but It stuck. They worked on it all Friday night, all day Saturday and most of Sunday before it occurred to 6. lob byist who dropped in for some soup that the bone-dry law might have something to do with it. "Perhaps the poor clock is dry," sug gested this ebullent young man. "Give it a drink." Nobody knows where the drink came from, but the clock evidently got one. Anyhow, it's running now. Dan Kellaher, who used to draw the folks for -miles around to hear his inspired oratory when he was a mem ber of the Senate, came up on a visit today. He was accorded the courtesies of the Senate ' with a whoop and a welcome. WhenYouFeelTired, NoAppetite.Headache (BY W. M. GRANTIER, M. D.V If your wife tells you that you are "grouchy" and out-of-sorts, be thank ful for the suggestion, and set to work to get your liver busy for it is more than likely that its inactivity is at the bottom of your trouble. Don't blame your liver for not doing its work! You have undoubtedly . been giving it too much to do. You may have occasional Headaches, reel tired, no appetite, and coated tongue, ahd this condition may lead up to other things. At such times you are the easiest prey for colds, grip, or the disease germs of malaria, typhoid, the deadly phthisis, or the many ills which carry off so many of our citizens. , My advice Is, give up alcohol, tea and coffee. If you must drink something with your meals let it be a cup of hot water. Begin in the morning with pint of hot water with a half lemon squeezed in it, if possible, and drink it a half hour or less before break- last. Take a few minutes of bending exer cise and breathing in the morning. Walk in the outdoor air. Occasionally, say, once a week, take a good laxative, one that is entirely vegetable. A good one is that made up of the .extract of May-apple, vegetable calomel, and Jalap, and can be had at every drug 6tore, for it has been sold for nearly 50 years as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. If you are occasionally troubled with rheumatic pains or lumbago, pain in the back, toes or muscles of the body this is due to uric acid stored in the system. The liver and kidneys do no act properly. For such a person advise taking Anurio (double strength) three times daily tor a week or two. This Anuric throws qut the uric acid Will II aL-UIHUliLLCS, CLXld IL Lit 11 fill QCCfl sionally will prevent or cure rheuma tism and gout. There is no difficulty In obtaining Anuria at any drugstore. Senators Garland, von der Hellen and Steiwer haven't introduced a bill to date. Wednesday will be the final day for Introduction of bills In the senate. The House quit Introducing them last Wednesday, but the Senate hasn't caught up with its record, at that. J. W. Brewer, manager of the Com mereial, of The Dalles, visited Repre sentatives Anderson and Mrs. Thomp son, of Wasco County, this morning. Ex-Senator Dan Kellaher, of Port land, was extended the courtesies of the House this morning. Mrs. C4 M. visiting her Thomas. Thomas, husband. of Medford, is Representative Representative Burdick made a flying trip to his home In Redmond during the week-end. C. A. Barrow, of Coqnllle, and W A. Dillard. of Eugene, members of the 1915 House, were visitors here this morning. Deschutes Canyon and the rival tele- phone systems in Portland. Only one telephone system Is need- d," he said, "especially now that we have a Public Service Commission to fix rates. The additional company is only n additional drain on the people." Advertising Bill Passed. Those voting for the bill were: Sen ators Barrett, Bishop, Cusick, Eddy, Farrell. Garland. Gill. Handley, Haw ley, Hurley, Huston, Lafollett, Leinen weber, Lewis, Olson, Pierce, Shanka Smith of Josephine. Steiwer. Strayer, Von der Hellen. Wilbur, Wood and Moser. Those voting no were: Senators Bald win, Dimick, Orton, Smith of Coos, and Vinton. The fake advertising bill declared for by the Portland Ad Club was passed after a lively debate. In which Senator Strayer headed the opposition. He de- lared the bill to be "vastly too dras tic. puts every man who advertises within the criminal laws." and it would e a "two-bladed ax that will do vastly more harm than good-" He wished to have the word "Know ingly" inserted In the bill, so as- to re quire that a man must knowingly ad vertise falsely before he would be liable under the act. Merchants Indorse Bill. Senators Bishop and Smith, of Coos, both merchants, said the proposed law was a good one and not too drastic, though Smith said that he believed that "the merchant who tells the truth In an advertisement is wasting his money." Moser, Orton and Farrell were otners o defend the measure. Their views revailed, only six Senators voting no. They were Senators Barrett, Handley, Pierce, Steiwer, Strayer and Vinton. The measure now goes to me iouse. Still another Important measure passed by the Senate was the new mili tary code, reorganizing the State Mili tary establishment in conformity with the new National defense act. Office Depends on Governor, Th sole amendment made provides that the Adjutant-General shall hold office at the pleasure of the Governor. Under the National defense act." ex- plained Senator Wilbur, chairman of the military affairs committee, "the Adjutant-General is not recognized as a military officer by the Government. FTU nosltion Is merely administrative, .H ha la a renresentatlve of the Gov ernor, so It Is proper that he should serve only at the pleasure or me gov ernor.

WARDEN, WARM IN PRAISE FIRST WAR BHJJ IS PREPARED Moratorium On Mortgages for Sol diers and Sailors Proposed. . STATE CAPITOL, Salem.,' Or., Feb. 6 (Special.) Oregon's first war meas ure will be Introduced in the Senate tomorrow. Senator Wilbur announced today that he has prepared a bill declaring moratorium on mortgages for all citi sens of Oregon engaged in the active military service of the United States. Soldiers and sailors, under Senator Wilburs plan, would be exempt from mortgage foreclosure, or from having to pay interest on mortgages, daring the progress of the war. should there be a war. This does not mean interest would not be payable, but that It would not have to be paid until the explra tlon of the moratorium.

SECESSION MOVE BEGUN IDAHO RESOLUTION'S PROVIDE FOR MOSCOW CONVENTIOS. leeble Attempt to Recall Rogue River Fishing Bill From Sen ate Fails Guard Appro priation Is Passed. SALEM, Or., Feb. 6. (Special.) So far as the House is concerned it will be all ritrhf for advertise tn rn. tinue their use of the National coat of arms, shield or other Insignia for pub- iiuny purposes witn impunity. incidentally the C9 male members learned that the only woman member aoesn t expect any favors for her pet measures on account or her sex. All this developed when Mrs. Thomp son's bill to prohibit the use of the National emblems for advertising pur poses was under debate. Representative Lewis, who alreadv had engineered the steam roller over two of Mrs. Thompson's bills, got up ana remarited that he disliked to op pose the measure because its author was a woman. Mrs. Thompson sat impatiently in her seat until Lewis got through, then she was instantly on her feet. "I want this House to understand," she declared, "that I am not asking any favors because I am a woman. "When I ran for this place I told my constituents that I believed women were equal to men in' their capacity for holding office. I am willing to take my chances with the men here, and am well able to take care of my self." .Mr. Lewis, at whom her remarks were principally directed, had disap peared by the time she got through speaklng-and was not present when the roll was called. Anyway, her bill went down to defeat. Mr. Lewis also led the attack on an other of .Mrs. Thompson's bills that prohibiting employment agents from collecting fees. It would have put the private employment agencies out of business. He said the existing employ ment agency law passed in 1915 was one of the best in the United States He is the author of that law. Mrs. Thompson's proposed law had only a handful of votes when the roll was called. Mrs. Thompson's first defeat of the day came when her bill to provide for the compulsory commitment of feeble minded children to the asylum was re ferred to the Judiciary committee of which Mr. Lewis is a member. A feeble attempt was made at this afternoon1 session to recall the Rogue River fishing bill from the Senate. Representative Callan moved to bring It up, but Speaker Stanfleld ruled the motion out of order. Speaker Stanfield was opposed to the bill both times It was up on the floor. He was a member of the 1913 session which enacted the present Rogne River fishing law, under which the commer cial fishing industry at the mouth of the stream was established and he says It shows bad faith on the part of the state, after four years to pass laws that may drive that Industry out -of business. The House voted unanimously to pass Representative Crandall's bill requir ing all livestock owners to record their brands with the proper authori ties. The Speaker left his seat and told of the necessity of such a law to protect the legitimate stock growers from cattle rustlers. The appropriation bill for the Ore gon National Guard, carrying an ag gregate of J159.68S.52 passed the House this afternoon. Majority In Both nouses Pledged for Division, and Southeast la Help. In Nortk to Win. TJ w 1S5f' Sb- 6.(SpeclaI.) Idaho is face to face with secession of the northern part of the etate from the south. Simultaneously in both branches of the Legislature today reso lutions were introduced to divide the state and to allow a constitutional convention to be held at Moscow June 17, 1917. After ratification- of the proposed convention by the electors within the panhandle, application viii be made to Congress for admission into tne union. -n. uiajuriijr oi tne senators are pledged to the resolution. In the House ci memoers nave signed to support tne resolution. . All doubt that the secession plan would bo bitterly opposed was removed today, when Representative Driscoll, of Ada uounty, served notice on the bdou sors for the division issue that he and others would "fight it to the finish." It is being charged here that the southeast is supporting the' division resolutions so strongly because of the hope after Idaho" is divided of remov ing the State Capitol from Boise to Pocatello. As the state now has 12,000, 000 Invested in-a new capltol here little tock, is taken in the charge. committee decided to have a bill drafted merging the Livestock Sanitary Board and the Stallion Registration Board.' The committee also introduced in the House today the bill doing away with one tax commissioner and the Senate decided to make the bills covering the labor departments and the desert .and state land boards a special order of business for Tuesday afternoon.

PICKETING BILL DOOMED HO HSR COSIMrTTEB IS TO REPORT AGAINST MEASURES TO DAT Bj;nmiuMttiflaiimu iiiiwiiiiiii!.iit..j,,j NEW BLUE LAW BILIj OPPOSED Anti-Cigarette Measure Also Is Ob ject of Much Criticism. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Feb! 5. (Special.) Nearly a score of speak ers bitterly denounced the bill propos ing a restoration of the Sunday blue law before the House committee on health and publlo morals tonight. This measure, now pending, proposes to re place on the statutes a law similar to the one repealed by the people with an overwhelming vote at the recent election. It Is backed by the same Interests who proposed the "one-day-rest-ln-seven" law killed in the Senate today. The committee agreed unan imously to report against the bill. The House committee on health and publlo morals will hold an open meet ing at 7:30 tomorrow night on the anti-cigarette bill now pending. This measure is also arousing much opposition. ROAD CODE BILIj IS OPPOSED Hood River Commercial Club and Grange Against Scliimpff Measure HOOD RIVER, Or.. Feb. S. The Joint legislative committee of the Hood River Commercial Club and Pomona Grange today denounced the Schmipff bill In troduced in the lower House of the Legislature, providing for a state high way code. It was the unanimous ver dict of the local men that the provisions of the bill for establishing separate county and district roads, with district commissions in charge of the latter, would give rise to community factional fights. House bill 191, the Laurgaard bill, . finds local favor. The frequent attachment of the emergency clause on bills before the Legislature has aroused the wrath of local citizens. The Joint committee has protested the use of the emergency clause, and the Odell district grange has gone so far as- to adopt a resolution urging that Governor Withycombe veto any bill carrying the clause, unless It Is obvious that an actual emergency exists. Organized Labor Opposes BUI As Effort of Employers to Name Tenngt Ae They Please. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or.. Feb. 6. (Special.) The House committee on revision of laws tonight prepared an adverse report on Representative Kubli's anti-picketing MIL and it is probable that the measure will be sent to an inglorious end through the indef inite postponement process tomorrow morning. It is possible, however, that it will be permitted to go on to the calendar for third reading. In which event it Is almost certain of overwhelm ing defeat. i'our members of the committee signed the report against the bill. They are Chairman Stott and Representatives Sheldon, Burdick and Mueller. Repre sentatives Peck, Bowman and Mackay, the other members of the committee, will- prepare a report of their own in favor of the bill. The Kubll bill as It stands would pre vent laboring men from picketing or from carrying banners In the vicinity of any place of business or factory. It even seeks to prevent a single individ ual from standing in front of the home of another and provides a six months' 11 sentence. Organized labor representatives say the measure would break up the unions and enable the employers to dictate their own terms of wages, hours and working conditions. It carries the emersrencv clause, which would nre- vent the working people from Invoking the referendum. Thomas McCusker, secretary of the Portland Employers' Association, has been here for the last few weeks lobby ing for the bill. The Multnomah coun ty delegation refused to introduce it, but Kubll took responsibility for It.
