IS VOTED BY HOUSE
Bill Recognizing Route in Mal
heur Passed.
TWO-FOLD PLEA WINS
fensvre Kecognlaes Jordan Valley
Ontario Unit as State High
way; Ballot Is 51 to 4.
; STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Jan.
15. (Special.) What the state hlgh-
way commission declined to do, the
Z- '. nouse did today when it added a. route
l.- from Ontario to Jordan Valley, in Mal-
hfur county, to the state road map.
; It Is too late, probably, for Benton,
Zi-' 'Washington, Yamhill, Columbia, Boug
ie las and other counties to press their
'. representatives to also add county
roads to the state road .map, but with
... the precedent established by house
bill No. 4, a drove of bills of this
- character can be expected when the
I- regular session opens in 1921.
j In a way, the Malheur county road
J bil! can be construed as a criticism
of the policy of the highway commis
N, v .sion, for the commission declined re-C'-
peatedly to place this route on the
- state map. just as it had turned down
"Z. ' other applications. In the opinion of
the commission the original road map
; of 1917 gave them all the state roads
"' that they will be able to look after
- for several years to come.
- Two-Fold Plea Made In Hoase.
- The commission has admitted that
some of the roads which counties
wished on the Slate map, are impor-
t tant, but the commission hesitated
? about letting down the bars.
." The plea that enabled the bill to
J; ; pass the house today, however, was
two-fold. In the first place, assur-
a nee has been given that this road.
" once on the state map, will be paid
U I for by money raised in Malheur
" ' county. The second point is that
owing to irrigation development and
rr the opening of a rich territory in
; Jordan valley and vicinity, it is essen-
- tial to provide a road, or this busi
ly ness will be diverted to Idaho, instead
; Of remaining in Oregon.
According to Representative Galla-
, gher, sponsor of the measure, it is
- estimated that $110,000 will build the
road. The county has $30,000 of its
road bonds set aside for that route
- and in addition has $40,000 from its
. general road fund to be applied, mak.
ing $90,000 of the necessary $110,000.
Elmore Makes Only Protest.
The county, it was explained, hesi-
. . tated to have the route surveyed as a
H ' county road for fear that in the fu-
- . ture, when a state road is declared in
i- - that vicinity the state road may not
J t follow the route the county selects
n - and the county's money will be
T2.;. thrown away. By declaring it a state
road, it was argued, the , county s
X money ea.n be used on a road wliicb
will be permanent.
- On rollcall, 51 votes were cast for
the bill and four against it. Mr. El
more made the only protest, stating
"Z, '. that the highway commission has
power to add this road or others to
the state road map if the commission
deems it advisable, and he thinks the
v- - matter should rest with the commis.

- - HOUSE PASSES BOSD ISSUE
Resolution to Cut Interest on In
debtedness of Counties Adopted.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Jan.
15. (Special.) Counties are author
ized under a resolution introduced by
Representative Burdick and adopted
by the house today, to issue refund
ing bonds to care for warrant indebt
edness. Representative Burdick spoke
on the floor in favor of the passage
of this resolution, which, he said.
would result in a great financial sav
ing to many of the counties of the
state. At present, he said, the coun
ties were paying from 6 to 7 per cent
Interest on outstanding warrants,
while under the resolution they would
be able to float bonds necessary to
liquidate the indebtedness at a rate of
interest not to exceed 5 per cent. Be
fore issuing these bonds it first will
be necessary for the counties inter
ested to submit the proposition to i
vote of the people.
WASCO POST ItO VI PROPOSED
Eastern, and. Central Oregon Inter-
ested in Wright BILL
J', STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or, Jan.
15. (Special.) Designating as a post
.highway certain roads beginning at
: a point on the Columbia river high-
. way and extending south through
s- . Wasco county to the southern line
of Sherman county, is proposed in
I ' bill introduced in the house today by
- Representative Wright. It is also
. provided in the bill that the construe
- tion of the highway so designated as
a post road should proceed under the
present laws providing for joint fed
eral aid.
Members of the eastern and central
Oregon delegations particularly are
interested in the success of this bill,
which has been referred to the join
..roads and highways committee for
consideration.
TRUXEfG FARM PIAX HEARD
Senate Adopts Pierce Resolution to
Investigate Feasibility.
" STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or, Jaa.
13. (Special.) Appointment of a
legislative committee to investigate
"the feasibility of establishing a state
training farm for juvenile delin
quents, which shall be operated on
the cottage plan, was approved by
the senate today in the adoption of a
resolution introduced by Senator
Pierce.
It is proposed to purchase a farm
of about 200 acres for this work in
L order to give youngsters an oppor
tunity to direct their talenta toward
agricultural and livestock work, as
a means of bringing about perma-
' nent reformation. The resolution
was transmitted today to the house
for approval.
SENATE DEBATES 2 BILLS
ffnnHnu.d From First Payff.)
from Medford to bring his remarks
to a close. When the lights resumed
some minutes later, Mr. Thomas re
sumed his speech..
In the senate it was what is known
as a "big day," and it might be set
down as the day of the "big wind,"
for in the upper branch was- staged
the spectacular ba'ttle of the session,
the nsrnt over a Din creating a new
slate fish and game commission. At
. the end of three hours a test vote
enowed 1' members favorable to the
measure and 11 opposed.
Speaker Jones got the house under
way early and kept the members at
the task of grinding out legislation,
or throwing measures into the dis-
card, and good progress was made.
Before the close the house for the
first time was in position to consider
the accumulation of bills which have
been passed by the senate and which
are in the house for action.
Road matters received attention
from the house more than any other
subject, with the exception of a plan
for curbing amendments, to the con
stitution. The proposed amendment,
which la to increase the Indebtedness
of the state from 2 to 4 per cent for
roads, was quickly passed by the
house and when the bill was pre
sented authorizing the highway com
mission to issue $10,000,000 of road
bonds if the amendment carries at the
May election, only three votes were
cast against it. The three opponents
were Hughes and Weeks, of Marlon
county, and Schuebel of Clackamas
county.
Malhenr Iload Bill Carried.
The first successful attempt to
change the state road map of Oregon
was made when the Malheur county
road bill making a state road from
Ontario to Jordan valley carried. A;
measure asking for a similar privilege
for Sherman county was promptly in
troduced by Representative Wright.
No more bills can be introduced in
the house without unanimous consent,
and before this move was adoptad 14
ew bills were popped.lnto the hopper.
Bills on third reading were quickly
disposed of in the house and shot over
to the senate, where they must await
the end of the debates before they
are taken up. The game fight in the
senate was so attractive that repeated
calls of the house had to be made to
maintain a quorum to transact busi
ness, and, as one member exclaimed.
"the members who are so anxious to
adjourn Saturday noon are the ones
who are listening in the senate. ,
Voting Measure Important.
Of more than common importance
is the measure in the house which
provides that no amendment to the
constitution can be adopted by the
people unless it receives a majority
of all the registered votes. If the
measure runs the gauntlet of the
legislature and is adopted by the peo
ple it will make it almost impossible
to add more amendments to the con
stitution unless the free and sover
eign voters of Oregon attend the polls
in greater numbers than they have
been doing in recent years. Politi
cally considered, this is the most im
portant measure which has yet made
its appearance in the special session.
Prelude to battle and indicating the
controversy between the Oregon Agri
cultural college and the University of
Oregon are two measures which were
offered late today. One is fostered
by Senator Patterson, providing for
six-tenths of 1 mill levy for the
Oregon Agricultural college. . Repre
sentative Kubii offered a like meas
ure in the house calling for 1 mill to
be split 50-50 Detween the two insti
tutions. Active lobbies have been in
Salem from both institutions all week
on this question.

Joint Resolution Asks Amendment
on Road Construction.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan.
15. (Special.) The house joint reso
lution introduced by James Stewart
of Wheeler county, providing for an
amendment to the- constitution ex
tending the - road construction in
debtedness limitation from two to
four per cent, based on the assessable
property of the state, was adopted by
the house today, with Representa-
ves Hughes and Weeks of Marion
county, dissenting. In case the reso
lution is adopted by the senate, the
amendment will be referred to the
people at the special election to be
held in conjunction with the primary
election next May.
It also is provided in the resolu
tioh that three representatives and
two senators shall be named by the
presiding 'officers of the two houses
to prepare and file with the secretary
of state arguments in support of the
proposed constitutional amendment
and that the same shall be printed in
the voters' pamphlet.
The success of this amendment
the hands of the voters will place
into opeation the proposed $10,000,000
road bonding bill which is now before
the legislature for consideration.
BLLIi TO AID EX-SERVICE 1EX
Proposed Act Would Permit Pree
Recording of Discbarges.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or, Jan.
15. Special.) As a means of pro
tecting ex-service men who might
lose or displace their discharge
papers. Senators Ritner and Shanks
today introduced a bill pr6viding that
these papers can be recorded by
county clerks without cost.
It was explained that in the future
these discbarge records might prove
of great value to many ex-service
men, and the free recording of the
papers as legal instruments is de
signed as a permanent protection to
those former soldiers who desire to
take advantage of the bill.
$1500 Rise for Engineer Urged.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or, Jan.
15. (Special.) Increasing the annual
salary of the state engineer from
$3000 to $4500 is urged in a bill in
troduced in the house today by Repre
sentative Gallagher.

Umpqua Valley Fruit union to the

STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan.
15. (Special.) Renewal of the ef
forts of Senators LachmuDd and
Thomas to launch a legislative fight
against the Warren Construction com
pany met with sudden and decisive
termination in the senate today when
the Lachmund bill to prohibit the
payment of royalties on any patented
pavement was Indefinitely postponed
by a vote of 20 to 9.
Bithulithic and anti-bithnlithlc ora
tory consumed practicaly all of the
morning session of the senate, with
Senators Thomas, Lachmund, Pierce
and Strayer leading the fight against
patented paving. Senators Hurley,
Handley, Moser and Ira S. Smith ad
vanced arguments against the bill.
Opponents of the measure argued
pointedly and forcefully to the effect
that the open records of the state
highway commission show that out of
47 contracts awarded to the Warren
Construction company during the
past year even with the royalties on
the patent included the state had
saved more than $250,000 to the peo
pie of Oregon through accepting the
low bids on the patented bithulithic
pavement.
