THE MORNING OREGONXAKV FRIDAY, FEBRXTART 27, : 1920
Senator Walter Pierce Has
Remedy for Orgies.
AMENDMENT IS FAVORED;
Press Ciub Members Hear Expo-si-1
' tlon of Merits of Improved
California Measure.
A divided session of the state legis
lature, with a-U bills presented at the
last session In final form, ready for
a Tote on adoption and the members
of the legislature deprived of power
to amend any- bills at the final aee
sion was presented yesterday by State
Senator Walter M. Fierce as a remedy
for the "wild days and nights" which
characterize the ending; of legislative
assemblies.
Senator Pierce presented his plan at
the weekly luncheon of the Portland
Press club, announcing tat he
planned to present it to the voters
of the state in the form of a constitu
tional amendment, as the means of
putting to end the "disgraceful
scenes which marked the windup
of legislative assemblies held during
past years in the state of Oregon.
California Plan Improved.
The plan is a modification of the
plan now utilized In the state of Cali
fornia. It provides for the same man
ner of commitee work as ie now
utilized, but provides that the session
be divided into two periods.
During the first period bills would
be introduced and referred to the
committee interested in the house
where such bill is introduced; when
returned from the committee, euch
bill would then be sent Into the other
honse, referred to the committee, and
when considered, returned to the
house of its origin. During the first
session any bill introduced might be
amended, but at the end of the first
session, according to Senator Pierce's
plan, it must be ready for final pas
sage.
Public Opinion Wanted.
Senator Fierce then proposed that
the legislature adjourn for 30 or 60
days, during which time the bills In
troduced would be printed and dis
tributed to the members .of the legis
lature, the press and to all citizens
desiring copies.
At the convening of the final ses
ion Senator Fierce proposes that all
bills be voted on for final passage. He
opposed amendment by two-thirds
vote and although opposed to any
amendments being considered at the
final session would be willing to per
mit amendments if called for by 100
per cent vote.
I have attended four regular ses
sion and two special sessions of the
Oregon legislature" said Senator
Pierce, "and I never witnessed any
wilder afternoon or wilder night than
that which marked the close of the
last special session. The bills came
to the senate in mass formation. In
consideration of road bills, one sena
tor would arise and with an air of
solemnity he would ask if the aena-
tor of some other county believed
there would be room in his county for
the road. Upon being assured, with
equal solemnity, that the county had
sufficient room, the first senator
would vote in favor of the passage of
the bill.
State Is Ubtsraced.
It waa a disgrace to the state of
Oregon and many of . the senators
walked out of the chamber in disgust.
This is no time for euch scenes. Laws
which affect personal right and prop
erty should be given careful consid
eration. I believe that the plan I
have outlined should receive serious
consideration as I am certain tha(
it is the remedy for the present un
satisfactory plan."
Members of the press club at the
luncheon were urged to consider
Hiram W. Johnson as a candidate for
the republican nomination for presi
dent of the United States on various
grounds presented to them by James
S. Stewart, campaign manager for
Senator Johnson in this state.
Mr. Stewart reviewed the activities
of Senator Johnson in recent years,
both as governor of California and
as a member of the United States
aenate.

INCREASED FARM PRODUCTION
CITED BY DR. W. J,
KERR.
Address Before Progressive Busi
ness Men's Club Made by
President of O. A. C.
t Increased production of the farms
Is one of the greatest weapons possi
ble to wield against the Increased cost
of living and the unrest now preva
lent throughout the world, according
to Dr. W. J. Kerr, president of Ore-
icon Agricultural college, who ad
dressed the Progressive Business
Men's club at Its regular weekly ses
sion and luncheon at the Benson hotel
yesterday. As a corrolary must come
scientific methods of tilling the soil,
said the speaker. He cited many in
stances In which the state college had
been able to Introduce more scientific
methods and thereby Increase the pro
ductivity of the state materially and
declared that the agricultural life of
the country is just now passing
through a revolution whereby more
scientific methods are being Involved.
"As an aftermath of the war we
find that Europe has but 55 per cent
of its normal food supply, that France
and Belgium are producing but slight
ly more than half of their normal
crops and that the United States is
called upon to an abnormal degree
to supply the world," said Dr. Kerr.
"We also find, and this is surprising,
that America "herself Is in need, that
there are 5,000.000 malnourished chil
dren in the country today, and that
the percentage of malnourished chil
dren has Increased from 12 to 25 per
cent.

KIBOSH WILL ENTERTAIN
Mysterious Order Makes Plans for
Shrine Convention.
Much Interest Is being evinced by
members of Al Kader temple of Shrine
in the activities of the Knights of
Kibosh, an organization to which only
Shriners are admitted. Major Ken
neth D. Hauser, venerable president
of the organization in Portland, has
announced that the Knights of Kibosh
will establish headquarters in the
Multnomah hotel during the Shrine
convention in June, when the ' visit
ing knights of the order will be
lavishly entertained.
The next meeting of the Knights
of Kibosh will be held Tuesday night
at the Multnomah hotel, when George
Chambers, secretary of the Oregon
Automobile association, will be initi
ated into the mysterious realm of the
new order.
Under the tenets of the order, but
one candidate can be admitted at one
session and meetings are planned
each week in order to accommodate
the large waiting list. Other officers
of the order Include Captain Herman
Kline, chief procurer, and John Tal
bot, recorder.
PICKET REQUEST DENIED
Petition of Union for Two Banners
at Greenfield Store Fails.
T think that If the court has
erred at all, it has erred in favor of
the unions," declared Presiding Cir
cuit Judge MeCourt yesterday morning-
in denying the request of W. &
U'Ren. attorney for the Central Labor
Council and retail clerks' union, for
permission to establish a eilent picket
at each of two entrances to the
George I Greenfield shoe store at
Fourth and Morrison streets.
In the recent decision of Judge Me
Court in the picketing case, permis
sion was granted the union to em
ploy one picket, wearing a banner, at
each store picketed, provided that
the picket did not address prospective
patrons of the shops and walked
alone the edge of the sidewalk next
to the curbing. The unions asked to
be allowed to employ such a picket at
every entrance, but the jurist refused
to modify his original decision.
