World War Extolled.
REPUBLICANS ARE TWITTED
Representative Lewis, Found Locked
in Committee Room, Brought
, Into Jioue by Officer.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Feb. 20.
Special. A storm of debate arose
vbea an effort was made to throttle
ly motion for indefinite postponement
h. bill by Representative Coffey which
would give equal rights to negroes in
J.otIs. theaters, restaurants and other
7ublic places. The bill was introduced
i't the request ot the Afro-American
laue.
When the vote was taken, the motion
o kill the bill was lost by a vote of
nyes to 2S noes. Only 24 ayes were cast
In favor of the bill on final passage and
it waj lost.
Representatives Smith and Horn of
J-f tiitnomah, both made stirring
speeches in favor of the bill and of
equality for the negroes. Mrs. Thomp
son voiced a protest against trying to
til.e the bill wltnoat debate althougn
he declared that her old racial prej-
aidire developed as a native daughter
of Kentucky she must vote against the
bill.
Repabtlraa Members Twitted.
She twUted republican members,
Jiowever, for being members of the
1arty of Abraham Lincoln and stand-
In? against the measure.
Mr. tturdick chided the house for
taking up time with inconsequential
matters and declared that as far as
central Oregon was concerned the bill
was not needed there as no color line
Has drawn in that aectio of the state.
Representative Smith of Multnomah
stated that the bill made no effort at
establishing a social equality, but
merely to give the right to those of
tae colored race who had the money
to buy commodities offered at public
aie without being insulted.
drawn according to the constitution and
could not be enforced, and he declared
lie was not voting on the principle in
volved, but upon the faulty construc
tion of the bill and for that reason he
voted against it.
McKarland, Moore and Richards of
the Multnomah delegation voted against
the bill and Coffey, Gordon. Home,
Hosford, Idleman, Kubll, Lofgren. Rich
ardson and E. E. Smith voted for it
Mrs. Thompson in explaining her
negative vote declared that at the last
session Mr. Lewis Introduced a bill
permitting intermarriage between ne
groes and whites.
COURT MERGER BILL REJECTED
Members From Small Counties Par
ticularly Opposed to Measure.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Feb. 20.
(Special.) The house fairly drowned
with negative votes a measure by Rep
resentatives Hare and Dennis which
would have provided for merging all
the duties of the county Judges in to
the circuit courts with the exception of
those contemplated by the work of the
commissioners' court.
Mr. Dennis declared that Oregon was
the last in the Union to cling to the
system In use here. The bill would
have shorn from the judges their title
and would also have placed them on
the same salary as the county commis
sioners after expiration of their pres
ent terms as judges.
Members from the smaller counties
were particularly opposed to the meas
ure, as it could have placed probata
and juvenile court jurisdiction with
circuit judges who. in many instances,
visit these counties at intervals many
months apart.

as did Senator Strayer. The latter de
clared he is not in harmony with the
supreme court, which has held that
the legislature can declare an emers-
ency.
Senator Dlmick complained that the
bond bill has no teeth and virtually
contains the minority report on senate
bill 67, over which the senate wrangled
for a day and a half, before defeating
the majority report. It remained for
Senator Lafollett to give the roost
unique protest. He scid he has paid $50
auto license and not one dollar of this
sum has been given to Marion county
for roads. He said he attributed Sen
ator Wood's support of the bill to the
fact that a couple of roads are being
built by the highway commission
which will benefit Washington county,
represented by Xr. Wood.
Senator La Follett Chaages Mind.
Senator La Collctt also said he in
tended voting for the bond bill, but
changed his mind when, lamenting to
Senator Orton that Marion county has
not benefitted by the $6,000,000 bond
issue.
Mr. Orton replied that Marlon county
n-acn t entitled to any of the money.
And. finally. Senator La Follett saw a
vision of Marlon county people hold
ing out their arms begging him not to
vote for the measure.
Objection by senator. Fierce was
based on the bonds. He said that with
the gasoline tax automobile licence tax,
the quarter-mill tax. a one-mill tax and
an income tax, $4,000,000 can be raised
a year for roads, and the state will not
be shackled with bonds. On the final
vote, I. C. Smith voted yes and then
sent to the desk for record a protest
against "The Injustice of the major
ity of the senate not going into a com
mittee of the whole to conslded the
emergency clause."'
Fall Vote Is Recorded.
Brief statements for the measure
were made by Senator Orton, chairman
of the road committee; Senators
Handley, Hurley, Rimer. Eberhard.
Jones, Baldwin, Norblad, Wood, Huston,
Banks and Kddy.
Speaking for some of his colleagues
who were rsging against "strength and
durability considered." a few days ago.
Senator Moser assured them that with
house bill 153 and the Patterson-Ritner
resolution, "we are getting more than
we had before, and the highway com
mission can squeeze every cent of
royalty out of the patents."
There was no need for a call of the
senate before the final passage of the
bond bill. Every man was at hts desk
and every man went on record. The
passage was a vote of 26 to 4, all vot
ing favorably save the quartet men
tioned. Proposed Work Far-Reaching.
Briefly, the $10,000,000 bond bill pro
vides that $7,500,000 of this sum shall
be used for completion of the Pacific
highway from the California line to
Portland and the Columbia river high
way from Astoria to The Dalles, these
roads to be hard-surfaced. The re
mainder. J:. 500. 000 is to be used for the
improvement of other roads.
This latter sum will be supplemented
by various sources of revenue and will
enable the highway commission to im
prove such roads as those from Rose
burg to Coos Bay: from Eugene to the
coast: from McMinnville to Tillamook;
from Seattle to Nehalem; from Klamath
Falls to Bend: from Bend to The
Dalles; from Bend to Burns and On
tario: from Medford to Klamath Falls
and Lakeview.
The principal and interest of the
bonds are to be met by automobile
