ADDRESS MADE TO HOUSE "Number of B1II9 Are Introduced by Representative Jones, of Lincoln and Polk. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Jan. 20. (Special.) In a speech in the House this morning:. Representative Dennis, chairman of the roads and highways committee, charged that he had been advised it would be useless for him to attempt to do any legislation along road lines based on sound business principles and that if he endeavored to carry out his policies along those lines his efforts would prove futitle. After the speech, Representative Den nis admitted that this advice had been extended to him by Senator Thomas, member of the Senate roads and high ways committee, and further declared that Thomas had told him if he expect ed to get along on a road programme without playing politics in the Legisla ture that he might as well go home. House Ready to Act. "I will take a back seat to no man in this House or in the Senate for be ing a good roads enthusiast," declared Mr. Dennis. "But this House is pre pared to put through some road legis lation, and It will do it on business Principles and without playing politics, either." The statement by Dennis was a por tion of strong discussion over road matters brought out by an effort to amend a resolution providing for a Joint meeting of the two roads and highways committees with the Highway Commission, originally net for'Thurs tiay night. The House amended to be eet for next Monday, which the Sen ate refused to concur in and a confer ence committee finally brought the two houses together by fixing tomorrow night as the time for the meeting. Representatives Mrs. Thompson, Gore and Elmore all discussed phases of the road situation, and the general eenti ment expressed seemed to be that haste will militate against enactment of the broad highway programme which the members generally all seem to favor. BUIn Are Presented. Highway bills came in strong in the House today. Representative Jones, of Lincoln and Polk, presented a bill pro viding for a $2,500,000 appropriation for a Roosevelt coast military highway to extend through Clatsop, Tillamook, Lincoln. Lane. Douglas, Coos and Curry counties to the California line, being contingent on the Federal Government appropriating a like amount and pro viding for floating bonds for th proj ect. Sheldon introduced a series of high way measures. One would require the Highway Commission to keep a system of standard road signs on state high ways; another would empower the com mission to accept money from counties, individuals or corporations for high way work; a third would allow the commission to sell obsolete equipment. Still another would allow a speed limit of 30 miles an hour on state highways and another would extend the weight of load law to the Eastern Oregon counties. He also has a bill nrnvinin. for prompt payment of bills for labor ana material and a companion bill fur nishing an emergency fund of $30,000 to assist-in such payment. In the Sen ate, Pierce introduced a bill providing for salaried State Highway Commis sioners at $400. a. year, and to devote their entire time to the work.. HOUSE BILLS INTRODUCED TI.

A large baboon, which has been trained to go through all sorts of clever tricks, one of the principal comedians. He rides a little red bicycle around the tanbark and does acrobatics pf a highly diverting character. Four handsome little Shetland ponies caper in drills around the ring. To merry music the ponies present modern dance steps and he smallest of the four does sums for the audience. A group of clever little canines whirl madly on a wheel: and the trick mule, which cannot be ridden. occasions great hilarity. Ncal Abel lives royally up to his last name, and is able in every requirement of the entertainment line. Neal Is billed as "the chap with the mobile face." He also has a realistic Ala baman accent and his darky stories all are r.ew and of an excellent humor. He sings, too. most acceptably and of. fers some graceful stepping for good measure. A brilliant dramatic episode acted with genuine artistry by Porter J White and company is entitled "The Visitor." The story concerns the atti tude of a .Jistriot attorney toward a man who is on trial for murder. On the evening preceding the trial the at torney tfas "a visitor," and in the story he hears from the visitor's lips the attorney changes his viewpoint, only to be furnished with a climacteric sur prise. Mr. White is an excellent character actor and plays the role of "The Vis itor" with a naturalness that is com pel ling. A novelty turn is that of the celes tial Duo, two Oriental vocalists, one of whom is a splendid pianist. Their offerings are unusually pleasing. Belle Oliver is a happy girl with a smile and plenty of pep. She sings new songs and captured her audience. The opening act is distinctly cleve and entertaining. It is a series of ar tistic novelty posings in which at tractive Mabel Perry, "the calenda girl," assisted by Bula de Rano, is seen to excellent advantage.

Mr. Beck is the head of the Orpheum circuit of theaters and his wife visited Portland several times in company with him on business trips. as to the chairmanship of the consoli dation committee has been a thorn in the side of the Legislature. Here per sonal interests have been injected. Just as in the case with the road matter. All Eaxn for Good Roads Whatever else may be said of the va rious lawmakers who are seeking the limelight on road leglslatiOB. it is gen erally admitted that each and all are not only willing but anxious that good roads shall be built. Their ideas and methods are different and there la a palpable wish to further their own ends, but they do want roads. The only danger in sight is that some- members may bo so obdurate in their determina tion, to dictate that road legislation niay be imperiled unless the programme for roads is disposed of as quickly aa possible. If the wrangling continues until the last week of the session the neutral members may have to organize a steam roller and flatten out the individuals seeking to blow their own horns. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Jan. 20. (Special.) Self-aggrandizement is re sponsible for the discord which is be ginning to throw Its shadow over the Legislature. Elements contributing to a lack of harmony have been develop ing rapidly and at the present rate,' be fore the Legislature is well into its third week, there will be open rupture. Thus far the peacemakers have been conspicuous by their absence, so that the flames of discontent are being fed by clashing personal ambitions. From starting last week with a smoothly running organization in Cen ts and House the machinery is be ginning to jar. Monkey-wrenches are being thrown into the cogs and mem bers are referring to other members in language which means fight. It is not rivalry between House and Senate, but between Senators and between Repre sentatives. Matters which should have caused no trouble have aroused friction nd this is only the beginning. Reprisals Are Predicted. Reprisals in the way of slaughtering pet measures can be predicted with safety in the comlrg weeks. Primarily, the two contributing dis cordant factors are the consolidation ffair and the road matter. Personal feuds are being waged which do not ugur well for a calm and disinterested consideration of legislative matters resented. Road legislation is the source of the greatest amount of uneasiness. There re at least two Representatives and ne Senator who are determined to ave their names identified with road aws. Each has his own pet programme and wants to shove it through before the others, and all three are afraid that former State Senator Bowerman and former State Senator Day are working a road bill which will put theirs n the scrap heap. Road Bllla Are I .eft-ion. Messrs. Bowerman and Day had much -to do with the $6,000,000 bond bill two years ago, and it irks some f the present solons that any outsiders hould devise and submit a road meas ure which may be adopted. Representa tive Dennis is working on a road bill which he wants enacted. Representa tive Sheldon has a group of road bills which he is fathering. Senator Thomas is solicitious that he gather honor at this session from the road legislation. Senators Orton and Ritner dislike the attitude assumed by their colleague. Thomas. Both Repre sentative Sheldon and Senator Thomas have an eye on the Congressional seat n trie first district, and this does not end to make the situation tne more peaceful. Senator Thomas Assailed. The tactics of Senator Thomas have become particularly obnoxious to many members, who charge him with being antagonistic to everyone who refuses follow him. Senator Thomas is forceful and rather resourceful, but the tactics he is pursuing have the endency to drive people from him. There are other Senators with as much and more legislative experience and who have their, own ideas on subjects, Speaker Jones has made honest ef forts to patch up differences insofar as he can. He has left his chair as presiding officer to consult with mem bers at their desk, instead of retiring to his private office and sending for hern. The Speaker has argued with men of the Senate and has gone out of his way to straighten out the kinks and promote harmony. Differences Are Trifling. But in the Senate and in the House are men who are loath to yield an nch to the other aide. Joint confer ence committees have failed to agree over what are apparently trifling points. The personal element is en tering into a great deal of the delib erations of the lawmakers. The nat ural trend of such ill feeling is cer tain to have a deleterious effect on the work of the session as a whole. The task of remaining neutral will become ncreasingly difficult with the passing of time. From the way the consolidation com mittees have acted, no one can tell whether there is a sincere desire to consolidate. What one group wants another is opposed to. The question CHARGES OP WASTE BY STATE TO BE INVESTIGATED. Measure to Appropriate $150,000 for Assistance of Soldiers Is Favorably Reported. HELENA, Mont, Jan. 20. A sweep ing investigation is to be made of all the departments, boards, commissions and bureaus or the state government and charges of extravagance and use lessness that have been made against them by the State Legislature as the result of the adoption by the lower house this afternoon of a motion by Representative Dillavou. of Yellow stone, providing for the appointment of a committee of three from the House to act with a like committee from the Senate to make the investigation. The motion gives the members of the committee power to compel , the at tendance of any and all employes. The House decided also to permit county division matters to come before It. Two more propositions to create new counties made their appearance in the lower house when Goodell. of Fergus County, gave notice of Intention to in troduce a bill for the creation of Judith County out of the western portion of Fergus County, and Otten, of Fergus, gave notice of a measure proposing the creation of Basin County out of parts of Fergus and Choteau counties. J. L. Jones, of Richland County, gave notice of a bill for a normal school at Sydney, and Sektnan, of Valley, estab lishing a normal school at Ulasgow. Favorable reports were received on Slayton's memorial for patents for homesteaders who served in the Army or Navy and lJonlan's bill appropriat ing $100,000 for the assistance of soldiers. uie&r iaiice TT? raee u L OS mderstasidiii n r I Yakima Man May Try Politics.
