THE 3IORNIXG OREGOXIAy, WEDNESDAY, DECE3IBER 18, 1918. ' 13 1PIMMTS OUT FOR commote II BERTHS Roads and Highways and Ways and Means Attract. JVIOSER UP FOR JUDICIARY T. B. Handley and A. W. Korblad Alleged Contenders for Chairman of Fisheries Committee. Two committees attracting most at tention of members of the state Senate are roads and highways and ways and means, the same committees which are the target for the ambitious in the House. Finance and road legislation will each be prominent in the coming ession. For the ways and means committee there are mentioned as the DOSSible chairman, A. W. Orton, J. C Smith, of Grants Pass, and I. I. Patterson, wltn the indications pointing to Mr. Smith. For chairman of the roads and high ways committee there are being men tioned A. W. Orton, B. L. Eddy, C. M. Thomas and Roy Rltner, with the prospect that the head of the commit tee will fall to one of the first three - mentioned. It is a foregone conclusion that Gus C. Moser will be chairman of the Ju diciary committee, while S. B. Huston, -: A. W. Orton or B. Lt Eddy may have charge of the committee on the revision of laws. It will be observed that Mr. Orton's name is connected with several ; . frood committees, because gossip says ' "that Mr. Orton wiiu insist on gelling something good from W. T. Vinton, who will be the 'president. Fisheries Committee Eyed. For chairman of the fisheries com mittee the contenders are said to ba T. B. Handley and A. W. Norblad, while others would be glad to get It and it is considered certain that members of the committee will be L S. Smith. J. C Smith, C. M. Thomas and John Gill. Mr. Handley had the chairmanship two years ago. It requires no prophet to predict that John Gill will be chairman of the com mittee on game. This was his post in the 1917 session of the State Senate, i "In the last session A. W. Orton was chairman .of the committee on counties. . He does not want it this time. This is the committee which has all the trou '. bles over county division fights. Wal ' ter A. Dimick will have a place on the committee, for this will give him an '. opportunity to deal with the rebels in ;. the' far end of Clackamas County, his .' district, who have been trying to pry loose from Clackamas for years. , , , Multnomah Guard Hu Friend. X. S. Smith is slated for the education .-committee, his old stamping ground, - according to the lobby gossip. Alex I.& Follette, who was chairman of the horticulture committee in 1917. will not " be chairman of that committee this trip. Mr. La Follette did not hesitate o criticise Mr. Vinton last session, and did not pledge himself to vote for the Yamhill County Senator for President this time. There are no guesses as to who will be chairman of the industrial committee, but Mr. Dimick will most likely land a place on the committee, but not .the chairmanship. The Multnomah Guard will have a friend In the Senate In F. C. Howell, who was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Conrad P. Olson. Mr. Howell Is expected to be chairman of the committee on mlli . tary affairs, before which bills relat ' Ing to the National Guard will be sent. '.Messrs. Gill and Orton may serve oa ;this committee, too. Either X. L. Patterson or Lewis Lach mund will be chairman of the commit tee on penal institutions. Salem men . generally want this, as Institutions mean a great deal to Marion County. Mr. Patterson Is not from Marlon, but lives across the. river in Polk County. Banking Berth la Spurned. A number of other committees are expected to develop into Interesting assignments. particularly commerce and navigation, which in the past has been somewhat of a graveyard. With the new shipping Industry and the .' Attention being directed toward water- ways, this committee is assuming an unusual Importance. Some Senator from Multnomah will probably be the .chairman. v Public lands committee, with the rec lamation legislation in prospect, is also likely to be rescued from the dead ones. Agriculture and forestry will be partic ularly good this time. So far, how ever, there hasn't been a request, so far as known by anyone wanting to be chairman of the banking committee. The railroad committee is somewhat in the same condition, for with the rail roads under the control of the Gov ernment the committee does not look as attractive as in other days. J. A. Hurley is the prospective chair man of the committee on irrigation and W. H. Strayer may be chairman of mines. As Walter M. Pierce is a regent of the. Oregon Agricultural College, he will land on the education committee, ' In all probability and on agriculture, . too. ... . There Is considerable demand for chairman on resolutions and this la one place that W. x. Dimick craves. Humphrey, Dorian E. Patterson, Kenneth W. lloore. Harry Lord Myers. D. E. Mc Aipin. Merrill D.
