ASTORIA'S MAYOR DINES THEM AND
TELLS WHERE TO "HEAD IS,"
STATE CAPITOU Olympia. Wash..
Feb. 8. (Special.) In spite of a long
fight and numerous attempts to amend
H. B. B, the Zednick bill to establish
compulsory military training in high
echools, passed second reading un
changed in the House today, by a
Vote of 61 to 33.
The deciding vote was taken on a
motion by Chrlstensen to strike mili
tary reference from the bill and leave
It simply a physical training require
ment. As sponsor for the bill. Zednick
Vieiia-ce. the final ballot will not be
greatly different when the bill comes
up on third ceading. An effort to pass
It under suspension of the rules failed
for lack of the two-thirds majority
necessary to suspend the rules.
Representative E. E. Shields, of
Skamania, made a compelling argu
ment in favor of the bill, speaking
from ten years experience in the Na
tional Guard of Washington. Oregon
and California. He told of quieting a
roomful of unruly boys while teaching
school in Centralia 25 years ago by
organizing them into a military com
pany, calling on J. E. Lease, ex-Superintendent
of Lewis County, and now
Representative, to prove what was
accomplished.
Woman Again Tells Seerets.
Fronj, the strain of military bill
meneuvera the House passed into the
unusual diversion of listening to the
woman member, Mrs. Ina P. Williams,
of Yakima, tell committee room secrets
upon the floor. She was trying to
get a reconsideration of the vote by
which her own bill, II. B. 23. was
n mended on motion of Gordon C.
Moores, of Benton, to locate an irriga
tion experiment station at Kennewlck.
The bill originally placed the sta
tion in the Yakima Valley, and nctually
mennt the cltv of North Yakima,
Moores charged, in Mrs. Williams plan
nf orocedure. With the aid of the
TCItib- Coiintv delegation he organized
noiib sunnort to olace the station, if
it is ever established, at Kennewlck.
He also charged that A. A. Kelly, of
the Snokane delegation, was trying to
make a trade whereby Spokane would
support Yakima for the experiment
station if Yakima would passively
ree-ard a SDokane effort to transfer
the State Fair from North Yakima to
Epokane.
Moore'i Veracity Qnrwtlonrd.
Whereupon the woman member from
Yakima stood up on the floor today
and with Moores dramatically demand
ing the documents, told of having seen
written evidence that Moores nan Dar
rained with the King County delega
tion to support the university against
the State College in return for support
for the experiment station.
She also explained that she had been
too much surprised at Moore's previous
attack to tell him that he lied at that
lime when he accused her of playing
pork-barrel politics and then demon
strated that she was not at all sur
prised at the twesent time.
Ira detail she then - related what
evervbodv had to say in committee de
liberation on experiment station and
other subjects, with the House and gal
lories thoroughly enjoying the recital.
Unable to reply in the manner he ob
viously desired to. Moores then gave
liis version of the same occurrences,
calling on various members of the com
mittee at times to bear witness to his
veracity.
KrnneTvIck Gets Station.
After voting down reconsideration
the House then passed the bill desig
natlng Kennewlck. or immediate vicin
ity as the station site. Representative
Filer of Lewis supported Representa
tive "Williams in an effort to have the
bill re-committed.
In Its final action today the House
passed the Zednick and Hastings bill
which gives first-class city and county
employes half holidays from June to
September and half holidays on Satur
day for the major portion of public
office forces during the Winter and
Spring.
Among bills passed by the Senate
today are S. B. 63, framed by the State
Board of Forestry, to provide for state
control of forest fire hazards at own
er's expense, when timber holders fail
to observe necessary precautions, and
S. B. 10, which admits abandoned moth
ers with children to the mothers' pen
eion act.
S. B. 27, providing for the erection of
a state powder factory to sell its out
put at 5 per cent above cost of manu
facture as an aid in clearing stump
land, is made a special order in the
. Senate for 2:30 P. M. Tuesday.
Lincoln Memorial Arranged.
On recommendation of the judiciary
committee the House killed by indef
inite postponement H. B. 37 to legalize
eale of surplus municipal public util
ity products other than water; H. B.
4 6 to place legislative employes under
civil service and H. B. 125 to extend
the delinquency limitation of 10 years.
H. B. 204. Introduced today by the
committee on revenue and taxation,
classes registered water craft as per
sonal property for assessment pur
poses. Both houses will memorialize Lincoln
with a special programme Monday aft
ernoon. Edmund S. Meany will de
liver the formal address.
Woman's Reformatory Proposed. .
Establishment of a woman's reform
atory is projected in S. B. 189, intro
duced this morning by the state insti
tutions committee. The plan contem
plates purchase of 160 acres as a site
and erection of cottages, for which an
appropriation of $75,000 is provided.
Two women are to be named on the
board of managers if the institution is
authorized.
Palmer Introduced S. B. 192, appro
priating $300,000 for the construction of
a home for the feeble-minded in either
Pierce or King County.
If S. B. 193, by the judiciary commit
tee, becomes a law, Superior Court
judges will have authority to suspend
sentences on first conviction for fel
ony, except in murder, first degree
burglary, robbery or criminal assault
cases.
"Plain Sneaking" on Bonc-Dry Law
Sends Two Guests Prom Table
During Soup Course.
STATE CAPITOU Salem, Orl, Feb. 8.
(Special.) F. C. Harley. Astoria's
justly celebrated Mayor, gave members
of the Legislature some fatherly ad
vice about running the state At a din
ner given by him in their honor to
night. He prefaced his remarks by saying
he didn't have any political ambitions,
so would speak plainly. He did. He
expressed such decided view relative
to bone-dry prohibition and the like
that Dr. J. E. Anderson and Senator
Eddy, Joint authors of the bone-dry
law, got up and left the table before
they had finished their consomme.
It s a fine thing to invite the seo-
ple from all over the world to come to
he great state of Oregon as we are
doing and put' before them the adverse
egislation you are trying to put over."
remarked Mayor Harley, by way of in-
roductlon.
Then he plunged right into the sit
uation by sarcastically referring to
somo of the well-known political am
bitions with which this Legislature is
favored.
'Remember, boys." he warmed to his
subject, "only a. few can be Congress
men, only a. few can be United States
Senators, only a. few can be Governors,
and they can only become so one at a
time."-
1 11 say this," he explained further,
that with the representation we now
have in the United States Senate we'd
better have none."
There was great applause as Mayor
Harley added that he really did not
mean anything personal.
"If you put through this bill to hold
up an automobile because it has a little
liquor in it, and to shoot a man if he
smokes a. cigarette," continued the
Mayor, "why. that's not the kind of
legislation that is going to bring tour
ists to Oregon.
"I'd rather hit over the desert and
take a chance of strangling to death."
It was at this exact nolnt that Dr.
Anderson and Senator Eddy left the
tattle.
Mayor Harley spoke of the imnor-
tance of a military highway in time of
war, and warned the legislators that if
this country gets into war the war
will be on the Pacific and not the At
lantic Coast.
"You'll wake up some mornlnc and
find your country swarming with Japs,"
he declared.
Then he wound un with this rieht-
f rom-the-shoulder advice:
'There is only one thing I have to
say to you. Get down to business.
Throw this petty legislation and petti
fogging into the waste basket and do
something that will build up your state
instead of tearing it down."
Rev. Father Waters, of Astoria-
spoke on the Importance of the Colum
bia River Highway as a military high
way in time of war, and urged that
steps be taken to make the highway
reaay tor any aucn contingency.
Nearly all the members of both
houses partook of Mayor Harley's hos
pitality, too dinner was held at the
manon Motel.

(fepeclal.) Undue domination of

partment of education was charged on
the floor of the House just before the
close of the afternoon session today
by two of the members whose bills
came In with adverse reports.
Representative Lunger engaged in a
good-natured tirade against the meth
ods of the educational department and
the educational committees wh-n his
bill, which would permit graduates of
standard colleges to teach in the grade
schools, was started down the skids.
He Insisted on the privilege of with
drawing his bill, but the House beat
him to It and indefinitely postponed It.

cessful. His bill providing for a clas
sification of teachers' certificates also
came in with an unfavorable report.
He was much agitated and delivered
an impassioned speech criticising the
committee and State Superintendent
Churchill.
It is about as easy for a charcoal
dog to chase an asbestos cat throuerh
hades as it is to get a bill through the
educational committees with Church'
ill's opposition," said Jones.
On his motion the bill was referred
to the judiciary committee.

2 MERCHANTS ACQUITTED
Charge or False Advertising Fails
Against J. and M. Simon.
J. Simon and Meyer Simon, of the
Simon Salvage store, were acquitted on
Tuesday in Municipal Court on a decep
tive advertising charge, brought by the
better business bureau of the Portland
Ad Club.
The complaint alleged that "ladies
leather handbags" were advertised for
sale, when the articles in question
were constructed of cloth and paper.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Feb.
8. (Special.) The fight over the rural
credits bill is ended, so far as the
Senate is concerned, and the State Land
Board, the farmers' union'and the State
Grange are the victors.
Without debate, the merits of the
State Land Board plan and of the op
posing Shanks and Barrett plans
having been pretty thoroughly threshed
out a couple of days ago, the Senate
this afternoon passed Senate bill 126.
This is the bill prepared by the State
Land Board to carry into effect the
rural credits amendment initiated last
November. It leaves administration of
the $18,000,000 rural credits fund en
tirely in the hands of the State Land
Board. The Shanks and Barrett plans
called for appointment of a land ap
praiser and of an examiner of titles.
The bill, as slightly amended by the
Senate Judiciary committee, was passed
unanimously by the Senate. The amend
ments permit the state to bid In -the
rural credit bonds itself at more than
par if necessary, straighten up a legal
tangle that would have barred adjudi
cated water rights in Eastern and
Southern Oregon from rural credits
benefits, and make a half-way com
promise with adherents of the Shanks
Barrett plan by authorizing the State
Land Board to appoint assistants to
aid Jtn land appraisals if the board
finds this necessary.
The Senate disposed of 24 bills today.
Twenty were passed and four killed.
Oregon City Fifthlng Stopped.
One of the important bills passed
was Senate bill 96, by Gill, closing the
Willamette River to commercial fish
ing from the falls at Oregon City to a
point Just above Oswego.
This bill was passed despite the vlg
orous efforts of Senator Dimlck. of
Clackamas County. Dimlck made a
strong plea for the commercial fish
ermen living at Oregon City. He spoke
for nearly hair an hour and took de
feat hard.
Senator Gill declared that closing the
river to commercial fishing is abso
lutely necessary to protect the salmon
Industry, as the Willamette River is
now the principal salmon spawning
stream in the state.
Those Senators voting for the bill
were: Baldwin, Barrett, Bishop, Cu-
sick, Eddy. Garland. Gill. Handley.
Hawley.- Hurley. Huston. La Follett,
Lewis, Olson, Orton. Shanks, Smith of
Coos, Steiwer, Vinton, Von Der Hellen,
Wilbur and Moser.
Those voting no were Senators
Dimick, Lelnenweber. Pierce. Smith, of
Josephine, and Stray er. Farrell was ab
sent.
Women's Labor Law Changed.
La Follett s bill to exempt women
employed in harvesting and fruit or
vegetable drying, canning or packing
from the provisions of the 10-hour-day
aw carried unanimously. Senator
Olson, however, seconded by Senator
Garland, first obtained an amendment
providing that women employed in can
ning, drying and packing plants must
be paid time and one-half over 10
hours.
There was a little flurry over Sen
ate bill 264. authorizing payment of
00 to H. H. Fisher for services as
Town Marshal of Copperfleld. He had
been employed by Governor West to
maintain order there when the Gov
ernor closed Copperfleld.
Senators E. Pierce and Bishop, of the
committee on claims, returned a ma
jority report favorable to the bill.
Senator Orton returned a minority re
port recommending that it be killed.
Orton maintained there had not been
any need of Fisher's services, but the
majority report was adopted after a
few old political issues had been re
hashed.
Guard Gets 9 155,000. .
Another big appropriation measure
was passed by the Senate after paving
previously gone through the House, it
appropriated $155,000 for the Oregon
National Guard during the next two
years. This is the same amount ap
propriated for the National Guard by
the 1915 Legislature.
Total appropriations to pnss both
houses now equal $1,181,000. The Sen
ate Judiciary committee, on whose rec
ommendation La Follett's bill to elim
inate state aid from the industrial
accident funds was killed yesterday, to
night reported out a Joint resolution
calling for appointment of a commit
tee of seven to work out a plan during
the next two years whereby state aid
may be eliminated.
The resolution also recommends that
coming under the workmen's compen
sation act, which is adminstered by the
Industrial Accident Commission, be
made compulsory.

for
STATE CAPITOU Salem, Or.. Feb. 8.
(Special.) A special trainload of
Portland school teachers Invaded the
Statehouse tonight, and talked for two
or three hours before the House com
tnittee on education on the merits of
the various tenure of offices bills, now
pending.
Two bills are under consideration
one introduced in the Senate by Orton
and the other in the House by Callan
The teachers seem to be divided
three ways on the subject. Many want
the Orton bill and many others want
no bill at all. Very few, if any. in the
group tonight wanted the Callan bill.
This Callan bill was supposed to rep
resent the views of the School Board
but Director Plummer. who waa here
tonight, entirely disowned it.
Both bills propose to take the trial
of teachers out of the hands of the
School Board and place it Into hands
of a commission appointed by a Cir
cult Judge. The Callan bill places all
teachers in the same class, and gives
the School Board power to transfer
from one class to another indiscrimi
nately. The Orton bill proposes eight
classes of teacherB. and limits the pow
ers of transfer between the respective
classes nearest related to one another.
Supporters of the Orton bill wore big
badges proclaiming their sympathies.
E. H. Whitney, principal of the Ock
ley Green School, opened the argument
for the Orton bill; Miss Grace De Graft
urged the Legislature not to change the
law. Many others spoke.

inay be relieved, ihis is a praise
