ECONOMY RULES ADOPTED
Senate KeiM Attempt to Give Ad
juiniMratioii of Mothers Pen'
fcion Act to School Boards.
OLYMPIA. "Wash.. Keb. 20. (Special.)
rndtr the eyea of a gallery repre
sentation from all the women's wel
fare organizations of the tate, the sen
ate today resisted an attempt to place
administration of the mothers' pension
act la the hands of school boards in
stead of county commissioners. The
change was proposed In senate bill
sponsored by Senators Wray and Hast
ings.
Alteration of the mothers' pension act
was re Ms ted by the welfare orpaniza
tions generally on a theory that it
would turn disbursement of pension al
Iowa net-s over to school teachers.
Advocated for the change argued that
hoot teachers had the best oppor
tunity of observing whether children
were properly clothed or fed and their
Teports on these conditions to school
boards would afford the quickest
means of applying relief. Senator
French took a reef out of this con
tention by observing that the teachers
would he. off the job three months in
the year. Senator Loo mis supported
a suKtrrstion to amend the present
mothers pension act to allow its bene
fits in cases of abandonment or im
prison merit of a father and Senator
ifall finished the new bill by moving
its reference back to the judiciary
committee for the substitution of "a
new bill preserving the present pension
act and providing for deserted chil
dren. Appropriations Repeal Blocked.
Before adjournment Senator Smith
Introduced a bill applying the mothers
pension provisions to wives abandoned
one year who can satisfy, a judge they
have made the required legal efforts to
locate missing husbands and to compel
support of the children. The present
pensio act provides $15 per month for
the first child under 16 and $10 each
for others as to a total of $50.
By quick work in the senate today
action to repeal appropriations by
which armories have been authorized
iom Aberdeen, Walla Walla and Ever
ett was delayed still further and prob
ably blocked entirely.
A point of order raised yesterday
against repealing the appropriations
acts on th ground that they have not
yet become laws and cannot until !0
days af tr the session has adjourned,.
was overruled by the judiciary com
mittee, which action apparently opened
the way for Immediate repeal of the
Jhree appropriations, amounting to
$325,000. if the economy forces had the
vote.
Hefore the economy forces could take
advantage of the situation Senator
Cornwall of Walla' Walla moved that
tiie armory bills be referred back to the
appropriaions committee pending final
anion and the motion carried. Senator
Smith of Kverett, one of those most In
terested in sustaining the appropria
tions, is chairman of the appropriations
committee and now has the bills In his
keeping, together with various other
appropriations all senators are more or
le&s interested in.
Savins; of Millions Expected.
While no official statement has been1
Issued as to results of Acting Gover
nor Louis K. Hart's economy confer
ence lat night with leading publishers i
of the state, the acting governor today
jaid he believed it would save the
state several million dollars at least.
It is understood this will be accom
plished bv the newspapers' demands
for only necessary appropriations.
As the main appropriation pro
gramme has been taken care of and
the omnibus bill, carrying" the state's
outlay of cash for the biennium
nearly ready for submission, the lobby
rowd has fallen into a pessimistic
frame of mind and is beginning to dis
integrate. As a result of legislative investiira-
tion of the boy's training school at Che
Jialis, two reports likely will be sub
mitted. The house today passed the Increased
automobile license bill which already
had passed the senate amending it by
exempting from license collection
vehicles operated by state, county or
municipalities for other use than carry
ing passengers. Representative Hull of
King, opposed the bill on a showing
that of $2,000,000 revenue to be raised
biennially truck owners will pay $427,
000 as compared to their total previous
license cost of $182,000. The bill passed
b ya vote of 76 to 14 and is ready for
the acting governor's consideration.
The senate receded from an amend-
ment cutting a deficiency appropriation
or .4.jt down to ---:. rne iuii
amount now authorized represents t
shortage in auto license department op
era ting expense.
Representative Phil S. Locke of Grays
Harbor today introduced H. B. 2t7. des
ignated to place logging companies
under regulation by the puolic service
commission.
H. B. 26ti, introduced by the house
insurance committee, is drawn to pro
vide state police machinery expressly
to cope with "arson ring" incendiarism,
which sta,te authorities generally hav
o combat periodically. The bill cre
ates the office of state fire marshal,
who is charged with the investigation
of all fires for the particular purpose
of detecting evidence of incendiarism
and of carelessness.
Authority to examine witnesses under
oath and submit the evidence to prose
cuting attorneys is provided. A penalty
of $50 is fixed for resisting investiga
tions by the fire marshal. His salary is
left to the legislature.

Oregon Commander Says- Spanish
War Veterans Have Vet Made
No Affiliation.
SALEM. Or., Feb. 20. (Special.)
State department commander arvey
Wells of the United Spanish war vet
erans issued a statement today o the
effect that the organization which he
represents has no connection whatever
with the United, American war vet
erans, which has been made the sub
let of investigation ty a committee
in Portland. Mr. Wells warns scoldiers
not to affiliate with any organization
until the men are generally home from
overseas and then to abide by their
wishes.
In a statement today, Mr. Wells said:
Veterans of all wars are on the eve of a
friffantic organization which will be interna-
lonal, if nut world-wide, in Its scone and
will embrace the veterans of all the wars in
which the Lnlted btajea has participated.
ilea an organization In the United States
lone will have a membership of upwards
of 4.000,000. It will embrace the Veterans
in civil, Indian, Spanish-American, China
relief expedition and the present world's
campaigns at arms. They will represent
he highest ideals of Americanism and good
tizenship and will wield a tremendous
power for good government.
The tirand Army or tne Hubiic and the
nited Spanish War Veterans have exer-
ised a great influence for good during their
existence. It is presumed that many of the
urviving members of these two patriotic
organizations will join in the membership
of the major organization, yet to be founded,
but there is no inclination or likelihood of
the dtwbandmnt of thefe organizations.
Taken all in the all. however, they stand
iHdivldually and collectively for the protec
tion and upholding of the principles of free
dom, humanity and justice for which they
have wrought and must be reckoned with
in all future matters along the lines of re
construction and rehabilitation in prospect ,
for the nation.
SOLOWS IS DEFEATED
Argument That Experience Is
Aid Fails in Idaho.
ANNEXATION MOVE LOSES
Measure Inrtodnced to Create Sen
's
ate Commission for Legali
.' zation of Boxing.
BOISE. Idaho. Feb. 20. (Special.)
Refusal of the house of representative
to pass an amendment to the constitu
tion to lengthen, representatives' terms
of office to four years, efforts to block
a general county division enabling act
to remove from the legislature tne
problem of creating- additional new
counties, the recommenaation by the
senate that there be created in Idaho
state constabulaary and the intro
duction of a bill to create a senate com
mission in that body to legalize box
ing, were the outstanding moves in the
legislature today.
Experience Argument l"sed.
The term legislative resolution re
ouires a two-thirds vote to pass. A
majority voted for the measure. In
attacking the resolution one member
declared he would not be mean enough
to force a second term in the legisla
ture o nany one. The argument for
the measure was that more experienced
en would make the states laws.'
No bills were introduced in the house
as Wednesday was the 45th and last
day allowed for doing so, except from
committee or by unanimous consent.
The state affairs committee modified
its report on the feeble-minded in
stitute at Nampa. Wednesday it rec
ommended that no appropriation be
made for the institution. Today it
recommended that no appropriation be
made for new buildings only, but that
funds for maintenance be allowed. An
effort to have all reference to the
sanitarium stricken from the report
failed.
Annexation In Defeated.
A lively fight took place in the house
'over the defeat of the Nash bill pro-
nosing an enabling act to permit rest
dents in a portion of Ida county to
be annexed to Franklin county. Hon
son of Franklin county, championed
the bill declaring all the residents in
the territory were anxious for the an
nexation. Hall of Oneida, charged
there was a "nigger in the woodpile'
and said all Franklin county wanted
was part of Oneida county s forest re
serve. He said Oneida county had been
cut up until it had eight children and
many grand children, but Franklin,
one of them, had been the "hardest kid
of them all to wean." The bill was
defeated by a vote of 27 to 24.
One of the oddest of Jails is at Clif
ton, Ariz., which lies in an important
copper region. This jail comprises four
large apartments hewn in tne side or
hill of solid quartz. The entrance
in a boxlike vestibile built of heavy
asonry and the gates have three sets
of steel bars.

Beware of "Movie"' Schools.
OTIOX picture schools of acting
and playwrlting are finding; con
dition exceedingly adverse to
the successful disposal of their ques
tionable wares these days, and aspiring
players and authors have had emJugh
advice to cure them of a profitless"
and often costly experiment. But the
schools do flourish in Los Angeles, the
center of the film-producing world, as
well as in other cities, which is re
sponsible for the comments of a Los
Angeles observer, who writes under
the -name of lino gene Levore.
"Girls, don't be deceived by these
whool announcements purporting to
teach you how to become movi act-res-ses,"
advises Miss Devore.
"They're as impoible as the mail
order institutions professing to teach
you how to write successful plays for
niovteland. It is a grand old scheme
in this town to take your money for
tuition and then give you a 'course in
the art of motion picture acting. All
is grist that comes to the mills of
these sharks. The domestic hands over
her money in return for fair promises
as readily as girls in higher walks
of life.
"You would be surprised if you could
visit some of these so-called schools.
The enrollment embraces the high and
the low, the rich and the poor. The
society lady with a husband and five
children seemingly is just as anxious
to become a movie sta as the next
one. The schools play no favorites.
They put 'em all through a certain line
of work and then inform the victims
that they are ready to accept employ
ment at any movie studio.' Of course.!
it is up to the graduate to get the
employment.
"To you girlies who are ambitious to
become movie actresses, I would say,
don't. The woods are full of movie
actresses, real and near. Every studio
has a long waiting list composed of
those experienced in both dramatic and
motion picture work, and what chance
has the lone amateur against such ex
perienced competition? It has become
an uncertain life, too. Directors are
engaging by the picture these days,
and the halcyon period of stock com
panies and long-time contracts has
gone by.'
