:
No change will be mate In the sec
ond congressional district if the leg
lHlature derides to create a fourth
district. Thla announcement waa
nude by R. W. Ritner. president of
th sts.te senate, on his arrival in
Portland from Salem yesterday.
"I would not take a single precinct
off of the district of Nick Sinnott
without his consent," declared Sen
ator Upton, who has been mentioned
as Intending making radical change
in the second district.
No such guarantees, however, were
riven with respect to the first con
Kressional district, represented by
W. C. Hawley. Most of the plans fo
redisricting the congressional sec
tions are based on taking some of
the counties away from the second
district.
Opposition Is Announced.
There is no reason why the secon
district, represented by N. J. Sinnott,
Khould be tampered with," explained
Senator Ritner. who lives in Umatill
county. "Eastern Oregon people do
not want the district altered and they
are quite satisfied with Nick Sinnott.
I wish to announce that so far as
am concerned, the district will r
main as it is, and I will oppose any
proposal to change It.
Inasmuch as Senator Ritner has
been mentioned as a prospective can
didate for congress In the second dis
trict whenever Mr. Sinnott tires
the office, his statement will set at
rest any fears supporters of Mr. Sin
nott may be entertaining that the leg
islature threatens to gerryniande
the representative's district.
Senator Upton of Prineville, also
mentioned as a possible congressional
aspirant some day, has written to Mr,
Sinnott explaining his attitude to
ward any talk of trifling with the
second district.
Power in Hands of Two.
If the Upton resolution for a joint
committee to handle all bills dealing
with reapportionment of the legisla
ture and congressional districts
Adopted, loth President Ritner and
Senator Upton will be members of it
As two of the ten members they can
see to it that the second district is
left alone. The group of congres
sional aspirants In the southern part
of the 9tate are concerned with
making a district out of the first
district and are not interested in
eastern Oregon, so they will not
bother Mr. Sinnott'e bailiwick.
Senator Norblad has devised a dis
trict to his liking, which would, it is
said, be not unsatisfactory to some
of the southern Oregon aspirants, pro
vided Linn is added.
Interest in Legislative Districts.
More important to the average
member of the house or senate, how
ever, Is the reapportionment of legis
latjve districts than congressional
districts, for It affects their political
Well being at home. The Upton Joint
resolution calls for this matter being
handled, and that is why there is
scramble to be on the Joint committee.
At Salem Thursday night, when the
majority of the lawmakers had gone
home. President Ritner and Speaker
Bean had an informal discussion of
the personnel of the Joint committee
in order, should the Joint resolution
be adopted, that the membership be
well scattered over the state and not
"bunched."
EXCLUSION RULE IS MADE
Speaker Bean Clears Floor of
House of Stenographers, Clerks.
Stenographers and clerks of mem
bers of the house of representatives
will not be permitted within the bar
of the house, unless summoned for
work, beginning Monday, according
to announcement made by Louis E.
Bean, speaker of the house.
The rule requiring clerks and ste
nographers to remain outside while
the house Ls In session was not en
forced during the first week of the
session. As a result, according to
Speaker Bean, the aisles were clut
tered with chairs occupied by clerks
and stenographers, who did nothing
but enjoy the proceedings, and con
stituents who desired to confer with
house members could not obtain
chairs or space in which to place
chairs within the bar.
"I do not desire to work a hard
ship upon the clerks and stenogra
phers, said Speaker Bean, "but if the
work of the house is to be facili
tated and handled with dispatch, help
employed by members of the house
must remain outside the bar. The
rule covering thla point will be rig
idly enforced when the session re
convenes Monday."

most important single factor in Amer

'Our business fortunes are in i

ial life depends upon a balanced
orld equilibrium.
'It Is necessary that Europe should
ake internal readjustment of a po-
tical and financial nature before her
industriea really can get on their

"Whatever else may be needed for
Germany's revival, it ls necessary that
the question of indemnity be settled:
that the amount be not greaier than
Germany can face and that the meth
od, forms and time of payment be re
lieved of any uncertainty.
"France would gain no less than
Germany by a settlement of this ques
tion. France has been living on false
hopes of the early receipt of incred

made it impossible to bring home to
the French the need for economy."

OLTMPIA, Wash., Jan. 14. (Spe
cial.) When the legislature ad
journed this morning until Monday,
closing the first week's work of the
17th session, 22 bills had been in
troduced in the senate and 19 in the
house, three Joint memorials to con
gress introduced and two appropria
tion measures passed and signed by
the governor.
The appropriation measures provid
ed for legislative expense and print
ing of bills. The memorials to con
gress urged the passage of bills es
tablishing a tariff on foreign mag
nesite, extension of the time of state
leases of mineral and oil lands and
for the establishment of a naval
aviation base at Sandpoint, on Lake
Washington.
ine mree new coaes were ail in
troduced during the first week. They
deal with revision of the present
educational system, industrial rela
tions and civil administrative depart
ments. Administrative Code First.
Of the three and, in fact, of all the
legislation likely to come Defore the
present session, the civil administra
tive code, prepared under direct su
pervision of Governor Hart, com
mands the foremost place in interest
and in the extent of sweeping changes
in state government proposed.
The new code admittedly is revo
lutionary in its provisions combin
ing and consolidating as it does the
functions of some 70 boards, bureau
and commissions, under ten separat
departments, each in charge of a di
rector, to be appointed and whose sal
ary shall be fixed by the governor,
The code was introduced in th
house as house bill No. 11 and referre
to the special committee named to
handle 'executive communication.
The committee met Thursday night
and after a few hours' consideration
reported it out with the recommenda
tion that it pass. The measure, there
fore, will go back to me house at
once for disposition.
Costa Data Expected.
Although no estimates of actual
savings in slate funds to be ac
complished by enactment of the new
code have been submitted, it is under
stood comparative tables of costs un
der the present system and that pro
posed in the new measure will be
produced when the bill comes up for
debate.
It has been suggested that material
reduction in state expenditures must
be shown as reasonably certain, in
view of the tremendous powers con
rerred upon the governor by the bill
if it ls to go through in its presen
form without stubborn opposition
This is especially true. It has been
pointed out, because of the emergency
clause attached to the code, which
disposes of opportunity for referen
dum action.
It has been generally conceded tha
the bill has been favorably received
by a majority of the members who
have had opportunity to read it in Its
entirety although many of these de
clared that their approval is based
upon a casual reading and not upon
careful study and analysis of the pro
visions.
Sentiment Is Divided.
A few, and this Includes some of
the influential leaders of both
branches, have announced their readi
ness to vote for the measure as it
came from the governor, without the
crossing of an "i" or the dotting of
a "t " On the other hand, there is a
noticeable disposition on the part of
a considerable element to give the
bill careful and unprejudiced scru
tiny, and if, in the judgment of a
majority, the message can be im
proved by amendment to insist that
the legislature should not hesitate
to exercise its constitutional function
and make such changes as may ap
pear advisable.
The new educational code, the work
of the school code commission ap
pointed by Governor Hart in accord
ance with a resolution adopted by the
extra session last March, was intro
duced by benator Sutton of Spokane,
chairman of the school code commis
sion. Advance copies of the measure
had been made public and the pro
visions of the bill have been generally
discussed.
It would make sweeping revision
ot tne present system of school ad
ministration in county and state and
provides for the appointment of the
state superintendent of public in
struction by the state board of edu
cation instead of by election by the
people. County superintendents are
likewise made appointive officers.
Stormy Passage Forecast.
The educational code undoubtedly
will encounter stormy passage when
it comes up for consideration and
open debate. The state superinten
dent has been conducting a vigorous
campaign to defeat the measure and
is said to have enlisted considerable
support. Indications are that the dis
cussion of the bill will reveal a situ
ation in which a noticeable degree of
personal feeling ls Involved.
The industrial code, as reported by
the Industrial code commission, is
substantially embodied in the gover
nor's civil administrative code. Or
ganised labor will oppose the system
proposed with all the strength it is
able to command
In the senate Friday, Senator Mc
Coy of Clarke introduced a measure
governing interstate bridges and pro
viding that the tolls set aside for use
of the counties may be used to the
extent of one-fourth of the amount

purpose of hard surfacing road ap

MILITARY ROAD FUND URGED
Legislature Asked to Start Work
on Roosevelt Coast Highway.
STATE HOUSE, Salem, Or., Jan. 14
(Soecial.) Dr. C. E. Linton, old-
time resident of Waldport, Lincoln
countv. was in Salem today, con
ferring with Governor Olcott and leg
islators with relation to the bill pro
posing a state appropriation suffl-
elentlv laree to start work on tne
Roosevelt coast military highway.
Dr. Linton said the voters had
voiced their indorsement of the high
way, and that there was no occasion
to delay construction work pending
co-operation on the part or the led
eral government.

was submitted to the voters at a spe
clal election in 1919, it was the under
standing that the government was to

tion. This appropriation has not yet
been authorized, however, but prob
ably will receive the consideration of
congress during its session, starting
next March, according to state orn-cials.
