STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or.. Feb. ltf (Special.) Appropriation bills over, above and besides the budget estimates before the ways and means commit tee amounting to $2,600,969.31 have been introduced in the legislature to date, according to a careful scanning of both the house and senate bills. The senate has outdistanced the house in these special appropriation bills, hav ing bills totaling $1,497,766, while the house total reaches to $1,103,213.31. These totals do not include special appropriation bills already passed, such as $100,000 for the soldiers' and sail ors' relief fund: $25,000 as part of the current expenses of the legislative as sembly, and $47,627 for deficiency claims, the latter, however, being also included in the budget. Something of the task of the ways and means committee for the next 10 day-s before the session closes is shown when it is considered that the budget alone exceeded the amount allowed un der the 6 per cent limitation amend ment by $1,297,214.34. After the commit tee has been wrestling from the begin ning of the session to cut this down, along comes the total confronting them now of $2,600,969.31 in special appro priation bills or a total of $3,898,183; 65 all told, which the committee will have to eliminate to keep the legislature within the budget. All told the committee lias allowed $5,509,137.28 out of a total of $7,870, 5S0.97 available funds. These figures indicate that the committee has a gi gantic task out for it, if it comes in clean under the 6 per cent wire by the time of adjournment next week. Careful Cheek Wept.

(Special.) .Representative Elmore's bill providing for regulation of social evils, much on the plan of that adopted by the war department in protection of soldiers in the cantonments, was decis ively defeated in the house this morn ing, but a handful of members voting for it. t Debate waged about the measure throughout practically the entire morn ing session and the bill was criticised on the ground that it was aimed too strongly at the woman while it allowed men to escape. Mrs. Thompson sppke against the bill, opposing it on the grounds of discrimination against women and also that its provisions would forever blight the reputation of a woman who might be so unfortunate as to come within the purview of its provisions. Other speakers also pointed out that the subject which the bill attempts to handle is sufficiently covered by stat utes already on the Oregon law books.

An effort by Represen tative Stewart tO( secure reconsidera tion of Senator Huston's bill providing for giving preferential rights to sol diers ' and sailors on public works, proved futile today when the house re fused to suspend the rules to allow such reconsideration. The effort at reconsideration devel oped a long debate on technicalities relative to the rules, and the speaker held that on a reconsideration of a bill which has been indefinitely postponed a suspension of the rules is necessary, which requires a two-thirds affirmative vote. The house upheld an appeal from the ruling of the speaker. COUNT V COURTS GET POWER House Passes Bill for Designation of Deputies In Offices. STATE CAPITOU Salem. Or., Feb. 11. (Special.) The house today passed a bill from the house committee on sal aries providing that county courts of the various counties shall designate the number of deputies for county offices and also fix their salaries, the deputies, however, to be named by the various officers themselves. Representative Lewis announced to the house after its passage that tomor row he would move for reconsideration of the bill so that Multnomah county could be exempted from its operations. The bill received but 31 votes, just the necessary number for its passage. AXXEXATIOX BILL, IS TABLED House Refuses to Adopt Motion to Supplement Favorable Report.

A bill introduced by Rep resentative Hughes by request, to regulate naturopathy, was defeated in the house today. Representative Moore explained that he has a bill having for its ohject the regulation of the various schools of medicine, excluding Chris tion Scientists, and that this bill will reauire certain definite fundamental qualifications before anyone can se cure a license to practice any of the professions which will come under the bill.

House Voles Appropriation of $100, 000 to Survey the Columbia, Basin Irrigation Project, j' OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. 11. (Spe cial.) Socialist school teachers whose certificates have been revoked on charges of disloyalty are permanently barred from re-entering the teaching profession in this state by house bill 6, which passed the senate today. The bill applies directly to several socialist teachers who were disqualified last summer. It requires also that all teachers employed in the state here after must be citizens and requires steadfast impression of patriotic prin ciples, and training of pupils to a true comprehension of the duties and digni ties cf American citizenship.. The house received a vigorous re minder on loyalty measures this morn ing through the opening prayer of Rev. E. W. Brickert of the First Christian church, who asked the legis lature to make strike agitation and bolshevism a felony. Later it was learned that Represent ative Crass of King intended to add to a bill now in the house judiciary com mittee a clause making strike agita tion an act of felony. Money Voted for Survey. Representative Hodgdon of King tried to force passage in the house of a memorial asking congress to retain government control of railroads over a committee recommendation to postpone-indefinitely. The memorial sup ports Mr. McAdoo's recommendations as to railway control, but the house refused to indorse it after Mr. Hodgdon nad argued for an hour, in which time he charged most of the criminal record of the past 40 years to private opera tion of railroads. At times he became so severe in his arraignment that Rep resentative Hull of King read a protest into the record. Opposition led by Representatives Hubbell and Short of Kittitas forced a long fight in the house against house bill 3. which appropriates 1100,000 for a preliminary survey of the Columbia basin irrigation project, but the bill fniaily passed by a vote of 54 to 39. Flve-eent Fare Limit Removed. This bill, introduced by Representa tive Bassett of Spokane, is generally supported by the eastern Washington delegations with the exception of those from irrigation districts now estab lished, who argue that greater results can be obtained with less money in sec- ions where irrigation has already been proved practicable. Prospects for the measure in the senate are more doubt ful than in the house. The S100.000 is asked on the basis that its expenditure will furnish data upon which the fed eral government can be induced to undertake the project, -which compre hends diverting waters of the Pend d'Orielle river at Albany Falls, Idaho, through the big bend country to west ern Xouglas county. Contrary to expectation senate bill 18, which removes the five cent limit on streetcar fares, passed the House today by a vote of 74 to 19. The bill gives the city councils power to increase or lower fares on municipal lines and vests the Public Service .Commission with similar jurisdiction over private lines. After a four years' fight this modification of the statutory regula- on of streecar operation is now ready for consideration by the governor. Deficiency Approprintlon Cat. The house also passed senate bill 12, which legalizes drugless healing. The senate this afternoon reduced Secretary of State I. M. Howell's de ficiency appropriation of $24. ,".67 to $4,922, after which the bill passed. Sec retary Howell asked the appropriation as absolutely necessary to carry the automobile license department to April 1. His estimate of $490,000 for the ex pense of the license department for the next two years has been under hostile scrutiny ever since! the legislature con vened. It is understood that the $490.- 000 estimate will be reduced to $150,000 berore an omnibus appropriation is finally made for the license sdepart- ment. No objection was offered in the house today to senate bill 112. which pro vides a total of $3,500,000 for capitol building purposes, $2,500,000 Qf which is to be made available in the present biennium. The same bill, provides for monument to cost $50,000 in honor of the state's soldiers. The main fund will provide legislative and administra tion buildings that it is estimated, will serve the state for at least a quarter of century. The bill went to third reading. Solon to Be Knrsta In Seattle. The Rockwell bill, drawn to enable the Milwaukee railroad to condemn the Columbia & Puget Sound road over which the former road enters Seattle by a leasing agreement, was indefi nitely postponed in the senate today. Members of the legislature will be the guests of the Young Men's Rcpub lican club of Seattle tomorrow night at Seattle, leaving hero by special boat at noon. A banquet will be the main feature of the Seattle programme. Lin cpln day ceremonies will be observed in the house chamber in the morning with Dr. Henry Suzzallo as speaker. Senator French of Clarke today in troduced an Insurance rate regulation bill, drawn by Commissioner II. O. Fishback. as the result of insurance companies increase in fire risk rates 10 per cent last November. It provides commission . consisting of the state commissioner, one general Insurance agent and one purchaser of insurance to pass upon all rate schedules filed and grants the commission power to increase or decrease such rates, with appeal provided to court. An insur ance company lobby is organized against it, with strong reinforcements on both floors. SENATE PASSES TEX (lILiS Ritner's Measure Increasing; Fees for "Grain Inspection Gets O. K.
