STATU CAPITOL., . Salem. Or., Jan.
35. (Special.) One ot the political
bills of the session is designed to en
able electors to vote a straight party
ticket. Immediately upon learning
that the bill was in- sicht, democrats
began lobbying to put the skids un
der it.
The measure is practically. the same
aa one offered in the 1919 session and
which passed the house but was killed
by a committee in the senate at -the
request of Senator Pierce, democrat.
Under the present balloting system
an elector must make a cross opposite
the name of every candidate voted for.
If the straight ticket is to be voted,
the elector must wend his way
through the ballot, carefully picking
out nominees bearing the brand of his
party. This requires a little time.
The- straight ticket ballot is so ar
ranged that an elector, by simply
making one cross, can vote for all the
.candidates of his party at a general
election. The system is in vogue in
many states, but its adoption has al
ways been successfully resisted in
Oregon.
As there will be presidential, state
and county elections in Oregon In
November, a straight ticket ballot
would simplify voting and would keep
electors, to a large extent, within
th lines of their party.
The persons mostly concerned in
defeating the bill are democrats and
influences are now being brought to
bear to smother the measure in com
mittee, as the chances are better there
than on the floor.
SENATE PASSES GAME BILL
' onlinu(l From First Tag1.)
can say, whether we are for or against
the bill, we can rest assured that the
governor has been with us because he
has changed so many times."
Thomas' Taction Foiled.
Senator Thomas attempted to tire
the senate and defeat the bill through
ridicule, and after he had spoken for
two hours. Senator Banks protested
against what be declared to be un
fair action on the part of the Jackson
county solon.
Senator Norblad. one of three leg
islators who framed the new bill,
started the argument Qn behalf of
those who favored its passage. He
said he represented 80 per cent of
the commercial fishing interests of
the state, interests which were bring
ing into Oregon $12,000,000 a year.
He said the bill met with their ap
proval and was the only solution of
a perplexing question.
Senator Kddy launched an attack
against the legality of the bill, and
likewise assailed the provision which
takes the appointive power from the
hands of the governor and places it
in the hands of the lawmakers. Sen
ator Ira S. Smith and Senator Oill
likewise voiced thc4r opposition be
cause they thought the legislature
should not name the members of the
commission.
Delay Found ImposMlble.
Time after time Senator Pierce led
movements to postpone action on the
bill by moving for adjournment or
moving that the bill be referred to
the judiciary committee for further
consideration. Iiach time the motions
were voted down as those who wanted
the bill passed were in no temper to
delay longer. Open resentment of
Senator Pierce's methods was ex
pressed repeatedly by those who
wanted the question fought out and
settled on the floor of the senate.
After the bill had been finally
passed on third reading Senator
Pierce arose and declared it to be
disgrace to the senate and the state
of Oregon.
"If I were the governor of this
state I would veto this bill," he said.
"I would throw it back into the teeth
of this legislature which passed it."
Probe Measure Recalled. -
No sooner had the bill been passed
and the result of the vote announced
than Senator Norblad moved a re
consideration of a resolution which
had been tabled yesterday providing
for an investigation by a legislative
committee of fish and game affairs,
as had been recommended by the fish
and game commission. Efforts were
also made to block this legislation.
but those who voted for the bill were
in a clear majority and had the bill
brought back before the senate for
consideration.
The resolution, which originated in
the house, was then adopted, with
Senator Baldwin, democrat, register
ing the only opposing vote.
Senator Vinton, president of the
senate, announced the appointment of
Senators Norblad and Gill as senate
members of thi3 investigating com
raittee.
Legislators in both the house and
senate asserted the vote on the bill
was a complete vindication of the fish
and game commission from all charges
and insinuations which have been

KJ cheaper lodging houses In Salem
have joined wltn the large army of
up-to-date profiteers and considerable
criticism is being expressed over the
upward tilts in room rent during the
legislative session.
One lodging house in particular,
which has a weather-beaten sign in
forming the wayfarer that good
rooms can be procured for 50 cents,
now charges as much and in some
instances more than the Marion hotel,
the leading legislative stopping place.
It charges $2 a night for a room and
you have to build your own fire in
morning.
