BTATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 15.
(Special.) The battle In the Senate
waged nearly all day around State
Engineer Lewis and the new State
Highway Commission bill. When the
tumult and the shouting- died the State
Engineer was found divorced from the
commission entirely, and the commis
sion may name any State Highway En
gineer whom it may see fit.
When House bill 602, the substitute
bill creating a new road code, went into
the committee of the whole. Senator
Orton urged an amendment that the
salary of $600 a year proposed for the
Commissioners be eliminated. Eddy
proposed an amendment to that-that
the salary be fixed at $2500 a year, but
the Orton proposal prevailed after
acrimonious debate.
Eddy then urged an amendment
which brought down all the oratory of
the House and settled one of the main
questions of the session, what was to
be done about State Engineer Lewis.
Under the proposed Eddy amendment
the bill would be changed so that the
State Engineer would be ex-officio
member of the commission. Olson led
the fight on this amendment, and on
the entire bill. He repudiated asser
tions and intimations by Senator Dim
ick. Pierce and others that to keep the
State Engineer from the commission
would be playing into the hands of the
so-called "paving trust," but on the
other hand Intimated that such would
be favorable to the "cement trust"
Objection Is Named.
He declared that to place the engi
neer on the commission would create a
deadlock with four members on the
board, if the engineer could swing one
'' member, and at the same time breed
trouble by having one member on the
commission who would act at his own
pleasure, and do the work of an engi
neer or not. as he pleased.
"The State Engineer was elected aa a
hydraulic engineer," declared Olson.
"And what of his record in that ca
pacity? Under him was constructed the
Tumalo project which won't hold
water."
He read a letter from John B. Teon,
to the Governor, In which It was stated
that Mr. Yeon and 8. Benson would not
serve on the Highway Commission if
appointed, and by this letter overthrew
declarations that had been made to the
effect that the bill was framed for the.
multi-millionaires, the .silk stockings
and the well-fed." . t
Engineer Supporters Lose.
After exchanges between Garland,
Huston and others, an amendment to
the amendment was voted upon, in
which the State Engineer was kept on
the commission, but deprived of a vote.
This was voted down and on another
amendment prepared by Eddy on the
straight question of whether the engi
neer should act ex-officio aa a member
of the commission, the engineer's sup
porters met defeat by a vote of 16 to 9.
The bill In its final amended form
passed with Dlmlck. Eddy, Pierce, Smith
of Coos end Curry, and Strayer, voting
"" against it. Smith and strayer explaining
their negative votes by stating they dis
approved of the bill because it carries
an emergency clause.
CommtsHtoners Nonsalarled.
The bill in its amended form provides
for three nonsalarted Commissioners to
be named by the Governor, provides
that It shall have offices at Salem, pro
vides for levying of of a mill tax,
allows the use of convict labor, makes
the Highway Engineer adviser of the
County Courts, gives the commission
supervision over county work when the
state has contributed not less than 25
per cent of the funds and provides for
the appointment of an engineer. It also
grives those counties which already have
voted road bond Issues consideration In
the distribution of state funds.
It links in with the $t,000,000 bond Is
sue bill which was introduced in the
House today, and which unquestionably,
from present - appearances, will pass
both Houses by substantial majorities.
House bill 609, providing for an in
creased license tax on automobiles, was
recalled from the House on motion of
President Moser to be amended In the
(Senate with a declaratory clause to
make it come under the provisions of
the police power of the state, and re
move the shadow of doubt of its con
stitutionality which has been hovering
over it.

STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or, Feb.
13. (Special.) Senator Leinen
weber, of Clatsop County has one
main idea Just now on which
he is bending all his 'energies.
That is to get an appropriation
to help put the Lower Columbia
River Highway in condition for all-the-year-around
travel. As it is, Asto
ria is cut off from Portland and way
points by automobile for a' good part
of the year because the road is- im
passable. Senator Leinenweber Is work
ing under the handicap that the ways
and means committee is slashing every
thing to the bone to keep within the
6 per cent limitation, but . he is doing
everything that a man can do.
The Justice of his contention is real
ized by all. - Senator Leinenweber is
wide awake to everything concerning
the interests of Clatsop County.
t
This is Senator Robert S. Farrell's
fifth session in the Oregon Legislature
and his third In the Senate. Naturally,
he la inclined to have due respect for
the honorable Legislature, and espe

Marion, 12 years old, to clve his Sena
torial dignity a shock. Marion was

for some time to the deliberations of

LEGISLATURE
Lunger was supposed to talk for the
bills.
"This bill may be all right," he began,
"but Senator Eddy knocked my bill in
the Senate last week, so I don't care
whether it passes or not."
The House passed the bill.
Being a "good fellow" around the
Legislature has its limitations, thinks
Representative D. C. Lewis.
I. C. revealed his state of mind on
the subject while opposing the insur
ance code on the floor on Tuesday.
"Why, the Insurance men are slipping
something over on ue," he argued. "I
don't blame them. They are good fel
lows. "I have nothing against them. Til
walk down the street with them, smoke
their cigars and do anything else with
them that we are permitted to do in
these prohibition times."

to authorize the assessors of the West

ROAD CODE LONGr ARGUED
Upper House Passes Afternoon in

Adjourns With 3 7 Bills TJp ,
for Third Reading.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Feb. 15.
(Special.) Only two more days re
main of the present session of the Ore
gon Legislature. They will be busy
ones, -for a mass of bills congests the
calendars of both houses.
It is the general belief, however, thai
both houses are further advanced than
they were at the same period two years
ago. Less Important legislation re
mains to be considered than at that
time.
Both the Senate and the House ad
journed tonight without holding night
sessions. The House had cleaned up
its calendar for the day, but the Sen
ate, which put in part of the morning
and most of the afternoon arguing
hotly over the highway code and State
Engineer Lewis, adjourned with 37 bills
on the calendar for third reading that
had not been reached.
The Senate passed only six bills to
day, one of them being the Important
highway code, but it made up for the
situation In part by killing 22
measures.
Senate Slays Goode'a) BUU
One of the bills killed was Repre
sentative Goode's House bill 449, tax
ing property of all religious institu
tions not used exclusively - for church
purposes.
This measure. It developed after it
came before the Senate Judiciary com
mittee for consideration after passing
the House, would have taxed the Y.
M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. This had
not been the intention of Its framera.
Inasmuch as members of the Ju
diciary committee thought the power
to tax religious property not used for
church purposes fully conferred by an
initiative measure,, passed in 1912, they
solved the problem by recommending
postponement indefinitely of the bill.
The report was adopted, and the bill
killed without debate.
Other "bills killed Included two meas
ures by Senator Huston, making wom
en liable to Jury and grand Jury serv
ice on the same basis as men.
By passing Representative Sheldon's
Joint resolution No. 4, the Senate made
it certain that his measure permitting
the people to vote on the establish
ment of one State Normal School at
Ashland and one In Eastern ' Oregon,
the location to be decided by the board
of regents. wiU go on the ballot at
the general election In November, 1918.
Majority Report Turned Down.
A majority of the Senate education
committee had recommended that the
resolution be killed, but Senators Hur
ley, 'Von der Hellen, Pierce, Eddy, Or
ton.and others carried the fitrht on to
the floor of the Senate and obtained the
substitution of a minority report, rec
ommending Its adoption.
Hurley made an appeal for education
or more teachers for the rural schools,
and Von der Hellen eloquently pleaded
the cause of Ashland as entitled to one
of the normal schools, and at the very
least the opportunity to take its case
before the people without the expense
of having to initiate a measure. On
final passage the resolution carried by
20 votes to 8.
Those Senators voting for the normal
schools were: Bishop. Cuslck, Eddy,
Farrell, Gill, Handley, Hawley, Hurley,
Huston, Leinenweber, Lewis, Olson, Or
ton. Pierce, Shanks, Smith of Josephine,
Steiwer. Von der Hellen, Wilbur and
Moser.
Those voting no were: Senators
Baldwin. Barrett, Dimick, Garland, La
Follett, Smith, of Coos. Strayer and
Wood.
Absent Senator Vinton.
The Senate Judiciary committee to
night 'returned a favorable report on
House bill 4. fathered by Representa
tive Bowman, and passed by the House
early in the session, to prohibit fur
ther financial aid by the state for sec
tarian Institutions caring for dependent
and delinquent children.
Future Help Prohibited.
The bill does not affect children now
committed to such institutions, for it
permits state ,aid during the period of
their commitment for children already
In the institutions. It forbids aid for
children who may hereafter be com
mitted, however.
This measure has been before the Ju
diciary committee for several weeks
because the Senators were uncertain as
to what should be done to provide for
future dependents and delinquents.
The favorable report tonight carries
with it an amendment to the bill spe
cifically setting out that the state shall
support children now at the Institu
tions, but prohibiting aid for addi
tional children.
At the same time, with a view to pro
viding for future dependents, the com
mittee Introduced two new bills, one
of which is to be placed on the ballot
at the 1918 general election for the peo
ple to pass on. It appropriates 1200,000
for the building of a home for state
wards, as It is to be called. In Portland.
The other bill prohibits tha appro
priation of funds for sectarian schools
and Institutions after 1918.

STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or, Feb. 15.
-(Special.) On a close roll-call vote,
the House today decided to reconsid
er Its action ot yesterday in adopting
Representative Forbes amendments to
the Orton-Farrell delinquent tax T11L
which Is the subject of much outory on
the part of the Oregon Journal. After
Its decision to reconsider, the House, by

vides that the publication of the de
linquent tax list shall be left to the
newspaper offering the lowest bid. or
something like that.
Many members who really are for the
Forbes amendments voted to reconsider,
because Lewis complained that his re
port was turned down amid the con
fusion of adjournment last night.
The Lewis report then was adopted
by default. Lewis and one or two
others voted for it, and no one seemed
to vote against It.
The bill as amended by Lewis will be
up for passage tomorrow, but Forbes
and his friends probably will make an
other effort to sidetrack the Lewis
amendments for. their own.
