THE MORMXG OREGOMAX, FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1019.
MANY BILLS PLANNED
IT SPECIAL SESSION
Suffrage Ratification Is but
Small Part of Schemes.
SOLONS HAVE PROGRAMME
If Governor Calls Legislature Indi
cations Are That Much Busi
ness Will Result.
If the legislature is called in spe
cial session, an assortment of legisla
tion is in prospect. Judging from the
vi ews of members who expect to be
forced to go to Salem, ratification of
the woman's suffrage amendment to
the federal constitution, which is sup
posed to be the reason why a special
session ehould be called, will be rele
gated to a secondary place.
Among the bits of legislation pro
posed are: Amending the law creating
the court of domestic relations; amend
ing the recently enacted irrigation and
drainage statute; amending the Bean
Barrett bond bill so that there will be
no question of this act being elastic
enough to meet any and all federal
money which may need to be matched
in Oregon; legislation dealing with
telephone tolls; high cost of living
bills; amendment of the oleomargarine
law; fish and game legislation.
The foregoing mark only the he-
irinning. In anticipation of a special
session, certain members are now de
voting quite a little time to drafting
"bills for introduction. One such is
resolution to shift the state capital
Xrom Salem to Portland
Pay Is Expected.
Members are invited to serve without
pay and also to defray their own trav
eling expenses. There is considerable
dissatisfaction expressed over this, al
though few members want to speak out
openly for fear they will be charged
with being "tight." The sentiment,
however, is that if the state requires
their services, the state should pay
their bills.
A suggestion has been advanced,
chiefly from eastern Oregon members,
that all mileage be pooled and then
each member of the legislature pay
l-90th part of the total. The advan
tage of this scheme is that the cost of
attending the session would then be
borne equally by all members, and the
eastern Oregon men would not be pen
alized in the pocketbook. for living so
far away from Salem.
The plan, if formally presented, is
expected to find an instant opposition
from the Marion county delegation.
Technical Point Rained.
Another point being raised is this:
When the legislature adjourned, Feb
ruary 27, it adjourned sine die. This
is construed as meaning that the old
organization died when the legislature
quit, and that if the governor issues
a call for an extraordinary session it
will be necessary to reorganize both
house and senate by the election of
lMcrnuii6 uim-tio. vti idi iaj ivuun II
boomlets have sprouted in the hope of
succeeding Speaker Jones or President
Vinton, but such things may come into
being over night.
Half a dozen members have said
they are willing to go to Salem for
. a day, ratify the woman's amendment
and return home. Such action on their
part would not prevent a mass of bills
being introduced and considered, and
the session continuing for a week or
longer, providing a majority is will
ing to remain and discuss other busi
ness. Anyway, It doesn't look like a one
day session, if there is a session.

In a telegram last night to Charles
W. Knglish. manager of the better
business bureau, Mr. Green said:
"Urge you to make special appeal to
all newspapers, banks and investment
houses and all buyers of advertising to
attend the meeting next Wednesday to
hear the story of the nation-wide fight
for truth in advertising. The lack of
knowledge of this work or failure to
understand it properly is depriving
many advertisers of actual cash-drawer
returns. Let them come and hear the
evidence and then render the verdict
of the value of this movement, which
is becoming so important in the busi
ness world that we want' every Port
land business man to be informed"

be at themembers' forum of the Cham

will speak on the subject, "How Good

Some regret was expressed when it

The programme for today begins with
an inspection of Swift & Co.'s plant at
North Portland, with luncheon at the

of the visiting merchants and their

the Chamber of Commerce.
Special cars will be on Burnside

purchasers were complaining of its
quality, this disappointment was
J allayed somewhat. Negotiations had
to be carried on through Mr. Thompson
Lt Fort Mason relative to the quality
of the meat, and while telegrams were

ma people were able to make personal
inspection and contract the entire shipment.
Belief was expressed yesterday that
other supplies such as flour and other
varieties of canned goods may be avail
able in the near future and the inclina
tion shown by Portland housewives in
taking up the tomato shipment will be
regarded as an indication of their
desires for other purchases by the city.

Mrs. Anna Dean, Owner, Says Agent
Gave Xo Xotiee of Suit but
Took Over Her House.
Property of Mrs. Anna B. Denn, valued
at $3000, was sold to satisfy a judg
ment of $35 without knowledge of the
owner, is an allegation of a suit filed
in the circuit court yesterday against
Joseph L. Fearey and Zella Eaton, seek
ing annulment of the sale and dam
ages of $500.
Fearey, who is a member of a local
collection agency, is specifically charged
with fraud in the transaction.
The complaint, filed by Attorneys A
E. Clark, Malcolm Clark and A. C. Al
len, sets forth that Mrs. Dean owed
Mrs. Eaton, then Zella Proudfit. $35 for
her services as a nurse during a serious
illness of the plaintiff, in 1916. and
that the bill was turned over to Fearey
for collection. He filed suit in dis
trict court and in the same year secured
a judgment by default for $62.75. It is
maintained in the complaint that Mrs.
Dean had offered to pay the bill as soon
as she could earn the money and, know
ing nothing of law, did not understand
that a suit had been filed against her.
as her husband had been served with
the summons. Her home, however, the
complaint alleges, was sold under the
sheriff's hammer ' and assigned to
Fearey. Mrs. Dean, it is said, did not
learn of the sale until three days ago,
being absent from the city.
Ever since the sale, it is maintained,
Fearey permitted the tenants in the
rented house on the former Dean prop
erty to pay their $20 a month direct
to Mrs. Dean, in spite of the fact that
she no longer held the property. Last
month, it is said, the tenants were no
tified to pay the new owner, Fearey,
in tne future.
Mrs. Dean was permitted last fall
to pay off a $500 mortgage on the prop
erty she no longer owned, she alleges.
Yesterday Attorney Allen tendered
Fearey $85. which was to pay the $35
judgment and costs, for the return of
the property, but met with refusal, and
the suit followed. Mrs. Dean is said
to support herself and a son 12 years
