THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1917. ORION'S TEACHERS' BILL PASSES HOUSE Commission, and Not School Board, Is Final Arbiter in All Actions for Dismissal. EIGHT CLASSES PROVIDED Huston Bill to Enlarge Powers Port by Development of Colum v bla Slough Approved Callaxi Measure Also Passed. of building-, to operate a line of oceangoing- vessels, to build coal bunkers. and to engage in other enterprises that will extend the usefulness of the Port. Under terms of the latter bill it will be possible for the Port district to bond itself to build steamships to en gage in world commerce, such as was proposed by some enterprising gentle man at the Chamber of Commerce a year or so ago. STATE CAPITOL. Balem, Or., Feb. 14. (Special.) Senator Orton's bill amending the teachers' tenure of of fice law, applying to the schools of Portland, was passed by the House to day with 45 affirmative votes. It al ready had passed the Senate. The bill is one ovf- which the teach ers in the Portland schools themselves have been divided. Some of them fa vored it. Others wanted the law left the way it is. The School Board, ap parently. Is opposed to It. The principal provision in the bill places the cases of teachers subject for dismissal from the service in the hands of an independent board ap pointed at the beginning of each year bv the Dresldlne- ludire of the Circuit Court. This board is empowered to conduct investigations and make de cisions. The votes of two commission ers will be final in every case. Demotion Not Permitted. The School Board is deprived entire ly of its authority over these oases. j Another Important provision estab lishes eight classes or grades for teach ers, and the Board will be unable to transfer a teacher wi. has served two years in any one class to a lower class without the teacher's consent. The several classes follow: First, supervisors: second, high school principals; third, grade school principals: fourth, assistant supervis ors: fifth, heads of departments, in high schools; sixth, high school in structors: seventh, grade school teach ers; eighth, special teachers. The House wasted no time In dis cussing the bill. Lewis and Goode, of the Multnomah delegation, spoke for it. Callan opposed It. The measure carried easily. The Multnomah delega tion voted as follows: Ayes Burton, Corbett, Goode, Laur gaard, Lewis. Mackay, Mann, Matthleu, Stott and Willett. Is'oes Callan, Gordon and Kubli. Military Code Passed. The House had a busy day, working most of the time on Senate bills. Some of the Important measures passed were the new trust company code, the cer tificate of convenience bill, the mili tary code and the Willamette Valley fish bill, all of which had come over from the Senate. The trust company code is the prod- vet of a commission authorized by the last Legislature, It aims to regulate all concerns doing a trust business in the state. When first drawn it would have made It difficult for some of the smaller concerns to operate, but It was amended so that it does not interfere with thejn. The military code was drafted by the Joint House and Senate committee on military affairs and introduced in the upper house by Senator Wilbur, chair man of the Senate committee. It re enacts most of the old military laws and makes the new state regulations conform with tho latest Federal laws on the subject. Strike Duty Limited. Tt contains . a provision that will make it impossible for the state to call the militia out for strike duty ex cepting in-cases of e. treme emergency. Officers of the National Guard who ap peared before the committees ex plained that one of the greatest ob stacles In the way of getting men to serve in the militia these days is the objection aeainst doing service in times of strike. The code provides that the Adjutant General shall have general supervision of the military affairs of the state as under the present law. Representative Willett, chairman of the House com mittee on military affairs, handled the bill on the floor. Another important Senate bill passed by the House was the so-called "cer- tlficate-of-convenience" bill aimed to protect established utility corporations from unfair competition. Certificate la Required. Tt provides that whenever a public utility concern wants to engage in business in a field already occupied by another concern engaged in a similar business tt must go before the -Public Service Commission and make proof at the needs and convenience of the public In the field to be served de mands the additional service. The measure specifically excludes municipalities and mutual corporations from its provisions. It will be possible, under its pro visions, for the city of Portland, for instance, to build a municipal electric plant to compete with the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company and the Northwestern Electrlo Company without obtaining a certificate of con venience from the Commission. Port's Power Enlarged. There was no opposition to the bill on the floor of the House. It went through with only four negative votes. Two bills affecting the activities of the Port of Portland also were put through by the House today. One was Senator Huston's bill, which grants to the Port Jurisdiction over the waters of Columbia slough on the Columbia River and grants power to develop that body of water for industrial or other purposes. The other bill was introduced in the House by Representative Callan and empowers the Port to eneage in ship Aspirin is" made by only one company.

No county in the state has more petty personal politics than Lane. That was proved again today when the House passed Representative Jones' bill increasing the salary of the Lane County Commissioners from 13 a day to tS a day. The last Legislature at the urgent request of Senator Bing ham, who la not here this year, re duced the salaries from 5 to $3. He had a grudge against some of the Com missioners and adopted that way of getting even. Bingham stood in the bade of the House that time and tal lied the votes as the roll was called.

FIRE MARSHALL BILL PASSES Jay Stevens Is Reported Probable Appointee for Place, STATE CAPIToL. Salem. Or., Feb. 14. -(Special.) The nouse to"ay passed the bill creating the office of state fire marshal. It places the office in charge of the State Insurance Commissioner. It is to be maintained by levying a tax of one-fourtli of 1 per cent on the gross premiums collected by the tire insurance companies operating in the state. In that way the department will place no additional expense on the peo pie of the state. It will be self-support ing. Most of the insurance companies favor the bill, as they believe a fire marshal will be helpful in eradicating congress or jnotners ana the Oregon I dangerous lire hazards.

It provides for the transfer of the duties of the secretary of the In- ustrial welfare Commission and of the Child Welfare Commission into the office of State Commissioner of Labor, making them bureaus in his depart ment. The measure does not disturb the Industrial Accident Commission as as been proposed by a bill previously ntroduced and withdrawn. ' Representative Thomas, in explaining the bill today, said that employers and mployes alike have objected to any change in the Industrial Accident Com mission.

BILL WOULD SPEED REPORTS Session DisruMions Are Lim ited to 10 Minutes. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 14. (Special.) A plan for expediting legislation in the closing days of the session was adopted by the House this morning through a resolution offered by Representative Eaton. The plan, in brief, is as follows: Each member will be allowed to se lect one bill upon which he wants earliest action. All such bills will be given preference on the calendar. Members will be encouraged to with draw all other bills. All bills introduced by the ways and House Places Printing in Hands of means committee will take the top of Supreme Court.

Burdick complained on the floor to day that the reports now are printed by a San Francisco firm, that the cost is excessive, and that there is needless and exasperating delay in printing them. His bill is intended to correct the situation. to an opening statement by the author, or, in the case of Senate bills, by the chairman of the House committee hav ing it under consideration.

Thomas Attacks Minority Report on Rogue River Measure and Is In Turn Accused of Breaking Pledge on legislation. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or..- Feb. 14. (Special.) Fishing legislation, a sub ject that everyone thought had been disposed of for this session, disturbed toe unruffled Calm of the House to day, not only once but twice, and at least one more fish fight is sure to develop before the big windup on bat nrHnv tliirht- The first skirmish arose before the House passedT Senator Gill's bill to re strict commercial fishing in the Wil lamette River below Oregon City. This is the bill that caused Speaker Stan di oiH anri Reijresentatlve Thomas to engage in a wordy war on the floor of the House last Friday nTght, before it was referred to the committee on game. Thomas insisted then that it go to the fisheries committee, of which he is a member, declaring the game committee packed against it. Game Committee Favors BllL But the bill came back from the Brain e committee yesterday with a favorable report and when It came up for passage today Chairman Corbett spoke for it. He explained that it aims to permit the salmon to pass up the Willamette to spawn and that it will Imnrove the game fishing in the river. It prohibits commercial fishing above Stony Rock, near Oswego. Tho present dead lino is at the suspepsion bridge in Oreeon City. Representative Brownell, of Oregon City, opposed tne Dili, asserting mai fish cannot climb the ladder at the falls, that they are destined to dash themselves to death against the rocks in the attempt to get past the falls. He said it was aimed to benefit no one but the sportsmen and the merchants wno sell fishing tackle. The Dili weat through with only 11 negative votes. ItOKrue River A grain In FMgrht. The second fight arose over the re port, of the fisheries committee on Senator J. C. Smith's bill to extend the fishing season in the Rogue River at Grants Pass. The bill in its original form permitted commercial fishing at Grants Pass between April 15 and Au gust 1. The present law permits It only between June 1 and August 1. Representative Thomas was opposed to the bill as it came over from the Senate, but Joined with the other mem bers of the . committee in amending it so as to permit fishine- between May 15 and August 1 15 days more than the present law allows, but 30 days less than the Smith bill contemplated. In that shape the bill went back to the House with Chairman Belland sign ing the majority report. The other members supporting him were Thomas, Mann, Anderson and Callan. Raw Deal Is Charged. Sweeney and Tichenor signed a mi nority report to ' pass the bill in its original form. Promptly, when the bill was ready, Sweeney moved to substitute the mi nority report. That brought Thomas to his feet. "This is a 'raw deal," he roared. He accused members of both the House and Senate right and left, with "unfair treatment." He said that the entire committee had agreed with him on the majority report and insinuated that Tichenor and Sweeney had double-crossed him in slipping in a minority report. He con tinued that Senator Smith had lied to him and complained that Speaker. Stan field had gone onto the floor of the House and lobbied for the Sweeney- ncnenor report. Speaker Rebuke Thomas. The Speaker took Thomas severely to task for his reflection against Senator Sm4th. Forbes, too, took a hand, and &as an c It's all pow because it's all fined gaspline not ffi mixture. dragged In some unpleasant memoirs of the late anti-cigarette fight. He said that Thomas had promised him to vote against the bone-dry cigarette bill if the conservative Stott bHi could be passed first. Then, when the Stott bill was passed and the bone-dry bill came up, said Forbes, lo and behold, Thomas voted for both of them. Accusations flew thick and fast for the next few minutes and when the roll was called the House sustained the Sweeney-Tlchenor report. This means that the bill will come up for final passage probably tomorrow and that, unless Thomas gives up, the fight will be fought all over again and Thomas is not the kind to give up very easily.

The questions answered below are general in character, the symptoms or diseases are given and the answers will apply in any case of similar na ture. Those wishing further advice, free, may address Dr. Lewis Baker, College Bldg., College-Elwood streets, Dayton. Ohio, enclosing self-addressed stamped envelope for reply. Full name and ad dress must be given, but only initials or fictitious names will be used in my answers. The prescriptions can be filled at any well-stocked drug store. Any druggist can order of wholesaler. Mrs. Belle C. writes: "I am Informed that I have kidney trouble and that it is fast approaching a serious . stage. What would you prescribe?" Answer: If your symptoms are the usual ones, such as puffs under the eyes, swelling ankles, scant, copious or foul-smelling urine, accompanied by headaches, pains. depression. fever, chills, etc., I would advise the imme diate use of balmwort tablets, a very fine remedv for such difficulties, sold in sealed tubes with full directions for self-administration. Miss Daisy B. writes: "I have what people call liver spots on my skin. I am sallow, almost like a person with Jaundice, and I know my liver is not right.. Have sour risings, coated tongue and get terribly sleepy after eating. Am constipated and seldom feel good. Answer: Such symptoms Indicate the need of a good tonic for stomach, liver and bowels, and I advise cardiol tablets as superior to calomel and of lasting benefits. Tour druggist can supply in sealed package with direction thereon. Miss Bertie L. asks: "What remedy can you recommend to reduce obesity safety? I want to reduce about thirty pounds.". Answer: I rely on five-grain arbo lone tablets as being the most effective and convenient treatment to reduce abnormal fat. Druggists supply this in sealed tubes with complete directions. After the first few days a pound a day is not too much reduction. Mr. G. R. writes: "Please tell me what to take to get rid of pimples, boils and bad blood. I know I need a constipation remedy." Answer: It is probably neglect of constipation that has made your blood bad. Begin a thorough treatment of three-grain sulpherb tablets (not sul pher tablets). Continue for several months. M. J. B. asks: "My hair is too oily and my scalp itches with dandruff, and of late it Is combing out too much. What is a good treatmeut?" Answer: Obtain plain yellow minyol from your druggist in 4-oz. Jars and apply as per directions. This cleans, purifies, cools and invigorates the hair and scalp, thus stOTping the death of the hair. Dandruff and itching are at once relieved. Men and women all over the country now use it regularly. .... "Laura" says: "Some time ago I contracted a very severe cold and cough. I have tried many remedies, but they do not seem to help me at all. I wish you would advise me what to do." Answer: What you need is a laxative cough syrup, one that will drive the cold from your system. The following prescription will check your cold and cough: Get a 2-oz. package of con centrated essence mentho-laxene and make according to directions on the bottle. Take a teaspoonful every hour or two or until your cold is better. This will relieve you in a very few days. . Miss C. W. R. asks: "I have tried for two years to diet so as to Increase my weight and improve the quality of my blood, but in vain. Please pre scribe for me." Answer: Thin, scrawney, bloodless people need assistance in absorbing nutrition from the food eaten, and for this particular purpose 1 always pre scribe three-grain hypo-nuclane tab lets, a most effective preparation if regularly and persistently used, as it seems to increase the red and white corpuscles of the blood, thus affording health, strength and increased weight. Geo. V. G. writes: "Perhaps you can prescribe for me, as I am at a loss to understand my condition. For the past year have suffered extreme nervous ness, trembling and extremities are cold. Have poor appetite, am weak, listless and no ambition to work or seek recreation. Am tired all the time and in no sense the strong, capable man I was a few years ago." Answer: A powerful rejuvenating nerve medicine should revive the dor mant sluggish condition and put new ambition and energy into your blood and nerves. Obtain three-grain cado mene tablets in sealed tubes, take as per directions. VOTE: For many years Dr. Baker has been giving free advice and pre scriptions to millions of people through the press columns, and doubtless has he'ped in relieving illness and distress more than any single individual in the world's history. Thousands have writ ten him expressions of gratitude and confidence. Adv.
