Cop ies of the message were distributed among the legislators late this after noon. Attached to the message were tfour proposed laws; drafted by the povernor. One of these bills would five to the state highway commission complete and permanent control over etale roads and highways, and would require persons making any altera tions or changes in such highways or rights of way along such highways to obtain a permit from the state high way engineer. Another of the bills would empower the state highway commission to ac quire rights of way along state high ways for the maintenance and preser vation of scenic beauties along such highways. Land Wnld Be Acquired. The third bill would authorize and empower the state highway commis sion, in the name of the state, to ac quire land along state highways or public roads for rights of way, or for the creation, preservation and malnte nance of scenic beauties along sa highway, and for the establishment and maintenance of parks or parking places for the convenience and a commodation of the traveling publi end to provide for the exercise of th right of eminent domain In the pro curement of such land.

Special Message Given. The governor's special message fol lows: To the Members of the Oregon Leg lslature: As indicated to you In my message delivered at the opening ot this ses eion, I consider the question ot in preservation of ecenio beauties alon our highways of sufficient moment t touch unon it in a SDecial meapaee t vour honorable body. If you will bea with me I urge upon you particular consideration ot the rwommenaauon 1 am now about to make. No other state in the union ha been blessed with so many natural glories us is the state of Oregon, Crowning all of these glories are ou forest erowlhs. Without them ou mountains would be rocky, forbidding eminences; our streams would dwlndl Into rivulets; our Ies be shorn department as to a stretch of road In the Klamath reservation, and thei state should follow suit along state highways wherever possible. I am attaching to this . message copies of tentative statutes, which it is believed will be of material assist ance In carrying it on. I do not re quest that these be read to consume the time of your honorable body, but I respectfully suggest that this whole matter be referred, to one of your committees, preferably the committee on roads and highways, for its consid eration and approval. If better plans than those outlined in the reports and supplemental suggestive statutes may be formulated, I certainly shall be pleased to have them enacted into law. This message H being transmitted In rilinT1f9t tn tha sAnat anri the house of representatives so as not to neiav me onerattnns or vour nonor- able bodies bv th allim? of a joint assembly.

Legislation aimed to al8 US FIRM HO ID PLANE SEIZURE Anti-Saloon League Would Exempt Other Carriers. the sylvan fringes which make them entrancing to the nature lover, and our vallevs be monotonous stretches. This heritage has been too long neglected. So prodigal has nature been with us. so lavishly has sh snread her feasts at our banquet tabl we have been apt to feel that these glories would be never ending. We have become satiated and it has re quired the thousands from the outside to come and express their wonder. ment before we actually have awak ened to the fact that Oregon is blessed among the states. Importance Held Realized. The public realizes the importance of these things now. and are fully awake to the fact that while we have lost many things, there are many tnings we may cling to and preserve for all posterity. This legislative as sembly may make itself remembered In the history of our state by prompt action to assist in the preservation o what should never be iosL All of the things we have been striv ing for. the development of touris travel; the urire to make and keep our state the most livable in the union the dee ire to keep our children in God's own environment, surrounded by the beauties to which they are the true heirs, all or these will he sur rendered and lost unless we act and act promptly.!) The preservation of the forest beau tieg is a matter of deep concern to the lumber industry. And It is not my intention or wish to deprive prl vato owners of valuable lands of those thinsjs which they have acquired by rightful and legal process. This move is not backed by socialistic intent: r.of any propaganda to disturb the progress oi an inuusiry. itatner find the timber owners generally eager and willing to co-operate. But it would be wrong to ask them to surrender vast tracts of valuable tim- berlands without Just compensation, nor do I believe it could be done. In fact, vast tracts are not needed to carry this plan into fruition. iso lated tracts tucked away in pretty nooks; virgin stretches of forest along highways, to Da retained ot sufficient width to leave the. beauties of the landscapes unimpaired; new plantings of trees, shrubberies and foliage along the highways all of these things can be accomplished without too great ex pense ana witnout arbitrary confisca tion ot property. Some stae agency should bs the directing head in these endeavors and 1 believe that the stale highway com mission, woraing in co-operation with the forestry department, the proper body to oe clothed with the necessary powers. Preservation la Urged. This matter should not be cast lightly aside. While the hand of man has done much and is doing much to make Oregon a great state, the hand of tJod. fashioned here in the primeval wilderness an ideal earthly paradise wnicn we must preserve as nearly in tact as possible without impeding the ordinary progress of civilization. Properly to Investigate the ques tion now before us last summer I named a committee of W. B. Ayer, Jonah B. ise, L. A. Lewis, K. A". Hurd and Mrs. W. S. Kinney, and this committee went into the matter in telligently and disinterestedly. One largo company, the Crown Willam ette i"aper company, Immediately ceased cuiting of timber along the Seaside-Cannon Beach highway In Clatsop county, and I understand is marking time pending action of your nonorauie ooa.v. i nac road probably accommodates more tourists than anv other single road in the state during the summer season, and on that road Is demonstrated very forcibly the dif ference between natural timber beau ties and naked stretches left after logging operations with modem ma chinery have denuded the hillsides. So marked is the difference I venture to say no person passes over the road but comments upon it. That is a single instance. Hundreds of others jiresent themselves. The highway department has co-operated in keep ing the executive office advised as to these things and that department I am certain would throw itseif into assisting In the work with whole hearted energy. Ioaglac Is Discussed. The federal commisioner of Indian affairs has agreed that hereafter in all contracts for logging on Indian reservations a strip of at least 300 feet wide along highways will he re served at all times to continue the timbered effects along such roads passing through the reservations The federal government has Indicated this deep interest in the matter after it had been called to its attention through my oiiite and tli highway the livestock Industry of Oregon was offered In the senate today by Sena tor Upton. The bills will undoubtedly bestir the meat packers and will be a bone of contention between the producers and the stockyards people. Prior to the meeting of the legisla ture, cattlemen of eastern Oregon were demanding that something be done to aid, and the Upton bills came in by a natural sequence. There are three bills. The first would turn over to the state dairy and food commissioner supervision of the stockyards, so that he can correct the alleged abuses now prevailing against stockmen. These abuses were listed as: The practice of commission men charging a commission on the num ber cattle or other livestock sold m stead of upon the amount of money obtained. The alleged abuse of com mission men selling to one another and thus preventing the seller from getting the full price by the eventual buyer. The alleged abuse that the commission men sometimes get com mission from sellers and buyer. The management of the stockyards, It Is asserted, have. In times past charged . exorbitant prices for hay and feed for cattle in the yards. This bill authorizes the state dairy and food commissioner to make regu lations for the protection of shippers and requires the stockyards to tak a license which can be revoked upon violation of the regulations. By the second bill, all cold storage plants would be required to file a bl weekly statement with the secretary of state of all cold storage meat on hand. This is intended to afford cattlemen Information so that the will know from the amount of meat in cold storage what its possible effect is on the market, and the pro ducer can be governed accordingly in his feeding and fattening of stock and will be better able to know wne to ship cattle to market to get the best nrice. It often happens that th large shipments arrive when the cold storages are full and tnere is market for the live cattle, which must be sold afa sacrifice. The third bill authorizes the ap nointment of a meat inspector, who shall-grade meat in three classes and th trrnAei and average nsice paid for the carcass must be plainly stamped upon the carcass. The purpose or this bill is to advise the consumer o th oualitv of meat, bo that If ha wants to buy a cheap grade or hit-h-class grade he will know what the butcher is selling. unaer tne present system, the consumer buys his meat and the retail price is Dasea on the prevailing price for prime meat, whereas the consumer may be buying old cows Instead of prime FLASK ON HIP COSTS CAR Prohibition Agent Saj9 Organize tlon Doesn't Iike Supreme Court Verdicts; Promises Fight. steers.

STATE HOUSE, Salem, Or., Jan. 24. (Special.) Prohibition of all fish ing on the Willamette river, other than by hook and line, and elimina- on of fishing by any means between P. M. and 6 A. M., are proposed in two bills which will oe Introduced by Representative . McFarland tomorrow. The Introduction of both of these bills will start a merry war, for the commercial fishermen who operate on the Willamette below the falls at Oregon City are certain to do every thing possible to ngnt tne Dins. Kep resentative McFarland asserts that rohibitlon of net fishing on the Wil lamette is necessary for the preser vation of salmon, and that commer- ial fishermen have sufficient ground which to operate on the Columbia ver. The elimination of night fishing. he says, is designed to put an end to gigging of fish, said to De prac ticed on the Willamette river. STATE HOUSE, Salem. Or:, Jan. 14 '(Special.) In offering a compro mise today the superintendent of the Anti-SalootT" league was willing to waive most of the search and seizure sections of the prohibition bills fath ered by Senators Farrell and Eddy, but insisted that the right be given to seize aircraft and automobiles in which liquor is found. Senators Lachmund, Ellis and Strayer were not disposed to consent, saying that under the Volstead act govern ment agents can make such confisca tion. Senator Laottnrund Inquired If man, driving an auto and having a flask on his hip, would be subject to the confiscation of his automobile, although not a bootlegger. Senator Eddy admitted that in such a case the automobile would be confiscated. Court Decisions to Be Fought. The Anti-Saloon league does not h'ke some of the decisions of the federal court in Oregon, and the superintendent of the organization in formed the senate committee on alcoholic traffic that the league Is preparing to fight the federal court decisions. The superintendent did not particularize.- In discussing the bills fathered by Farrell and Eddy, Senator Ellis dis played a contempt for the agents of the prohibitionists. He cited instances when prohibition agents tried to "plant" cars to make cases; when they shot at cars women were driv ing and that contained no liquor; when they drank confiscated liquor and went to Nevada, where they bought liquor and imported it into Oregon to displace what they had consumed. Senator Strayer deolared that there is a wide divergence of opinion among prohibitionists as to how far the law should go. The confiscation feature was discussed when the laws were first framed, and he recalled that Mrs. Kemp took the position that confiscation would weaken the law. Superintendent Pat on Commissioner. The Anti-Saloon league offered to withdraw. The superintendent was not willing to withdraw the bill creating a prohibition commissioner with super-powers. The senate committee on alcohollo traffic apparently stands three to two against the prohibition measures. The Anti-Saloon league agent an nounced that his organization would not stand for permitting druggists to sell liquor, as is provided under th.e Volstead act, on prescription, and the league objects to any suggestion of h.-A-Ing the federal prohibition law supplant the Oregon law,, but at the same time assumes tne coniiscation clause of the Volstead act. The superintendent said the dlistTict attorneys of the state need such a conftocatory measure. Senator Strayer replied that he is city attorney o Baker, where the Oregon law is th citv ordinance, and he never discov ered anv - need for confiscation ot automobiles. - No definite action was taken by the committee. FIGHT IS EXPECTED TODAY representatives who do . not live In the maritime counties through which the Roosevelt highway Is designed to go. Another Objection Raised. Another objection raised Is that members consider it poor policy to designate a particular sum for a particular road, contending that this would be unfair to other sections. This is a point which has also been raised by members of the state high way commission before ths joint roads and highways committee. Sentiment is general that the coast counties are entitled to recognition in the road programme and that more development work should be carried on In Clatson. Tillamook. Lincoln, Lane, Douglas, Coos and Curry, through which the Roosevelt high way is scheduled to be constructed and through which the coast highway will be built by the highway commis sion if the Roosevelt highway prob lem is disposed of. But to diver nearly 33 per cent of the total road bonds still available under the 4 per cent limit to this one road is a tn- fls more than road boosters In other counties are willing to sanction. Strategic Position Held. However, Senator Hall occupies a strategic positfbn. for he is chairman pf the senate committee on roads and highways and Norblad Is a good con nubiator, and they have the assist ance of B. F. Jones, who fathered the Roosevelt highway when a member of the 1919 legislature, and Mr. Jones Is a good lobbyist It Is possible for Hall and Norblad to arrange their forces so that they can throw a few monkey wrenches into the road ma chinery before the Roosevelt highway Issue is settled. Today the roads and hlirhwavs com mittee in ths house offered two bills. The first calls for the repeal of the quarter-mill road tax, as recommend ed in the special message of Governor Olcott, and the second bill provides for a transfer of this millage money, 260,219.76, to the general fund. A third bill will be introduced making an appropriation of this sum, or a larger part of it, to the improvement of theoys Training school. Bright and early this morning Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin appeared In the lobby. She wants to nick the quarter-mill money and have some of it to go to the Girls Training school. STATE REGULATION OFMfME PROPOSED Clatsop Lawmaker Would Bar Bad Features. Legislative Sidelights. Reapportionment Issue. 19 Due to . Come to Head. STATE HOUSE, Salem, Or.,' Jan. 24 (Special.) All Is set for a figbt on reapportionment of tne tegisia ture In the house tomorrow. Prob ably the affair will be staged In the afternoon. Senator Upton s joint res olution calling for a committee of ten i) handle .reapportionment of legis lative districts having passed tne sen ate, it Is now in the house committee on resolutions. Representative Kay is planning to lead the battle against the resolution. How far ha will get remains to be seen. ' ' Some of the Multnomah ATelegatlon Senator. Kubli, for Instance are insisting that under reapportionment Multnomah county la entitled to greatly increased representation. This is being resented by other counties, and eastern Oregon, while willing to cencede a couple of additional mem bers to Multnomah county, does not want the state milked dry to fatten Multnomah. On the other hand. Mr. Kay intends putting the skids under the joint resolution if possible. Rep resentative Gallagher has been tak ing a poll of the house to find sup porters for the resolution and Mr. Kay has been doing likewise to rustle up opponents to the measure. Each side feels that it has a mastery of the ltuation. TIMBER OWXERS ARE ROCSED Bill Proposes Submitting Cruise Sheets to Assessors. STATE HOUSE. Salem. Or., Jan. S4 Special.) Timber owners are dis playing some nervousness over the bill of Representative Beals of Tilla ook. The bill, briefly, provides that mber owners shall supply the coun ty assessor with their cruise sheets, thereby placing them on a par with farmers, who must report their live stock holdings and things of that sort. County assessors have not been very uccessful in making cruises of tim ber, so Mr. Beals explains that hli bill will not only simplify the work of the assessor, but will put on the assessessment rolls the fair valua tion of the timber. If the bill is en acted, it will probably result in rais- g timber valuations several million ollars in the state and cause the mber owners to pay more taxes than they do at present on their holdings. Mrs. Laura Kimball, of Boston, manages two snoe ractorles; a borne, a baby, and two motor cara. TILT LOOMS OVER ROAD ( Continued From First Page.) and Norblad is the fact that to obtain 2,500,000 for the road, it would havt to be taken from the remaining 19,000,000 authorized under the 4 per cent limitation act, adopted by the people. This would cut down the main fund materially and, of course, would lessen the prospect of eastern, central and other parts of Oregon getting their full share of the 49, 000,000. It also would Interfere with the completion of the Pacific highway and reduce the possibility of building the costly northern end of The Dalles California highway and other main roads. For this reason alone there in an Increasing sentiment against the Hall-Norblad bill by senators and CJTATE HOUSE, Salem, Or, Jan. 24, kJ Provisions for the welfare of the "first child" of the house of repr esentatives of the 35th legislative assembly is contained in a resolution today which appropriated $250,000 and one Jersey cow for such purpose. This favored child Is George Wash ington Childs, six-pound son of Rep resentative and Mrs. Charles Childs of Brownsville. George Washington childs made his appearance at the temporary Childs home in Salem Sun day night. "W. J. Kerr, president of the Ore gon Agricultural college, appeared in 'the lobby today. He explained that he will not go before the ways and means committee until later. There was an impression when the 1919 leg islature provided a millage tax for Oregon Agricultural college that no more appropriations would have to be made for that institution or any of its extensions. - Always there are specialists. Sen ator Eberhard Is the official ad ourner and recesser In the senate. When the desk is clear Senator Eber hard moves for a recess or an ad journment to the following day. In the house Denton R.

"I went to a garage man In Salem and said I wanted to store my car for a month," said Representative Hurd.

SPORTSMEN HELD AFFROXTED STATE HOUSE, Salem, Or., Jan. 24. (Special.) Drastic control of motion-picture houses operating In Ore gon through enactment of certain regulatory laws is said to be planned by members of the present legisla ture. The first of these proposed laws appeared In the house today, intro duced by Representative Hurd of Clatsop county. One of the bills proposed today prohibits the sale of tickets by any theater, motion-picture house or other place of amusement when a seat can not be furnished to the purchaser. The other bars the entrance of girls under 16 years of age and boys under 18. years of age to any theater wherein any production or presentation of homicide, taking of human life, train robbery, holdups or the commission of any felony is shown. Other similar bills said to be in process of formation provide for Sun day closing o? motion-picture the aters and for a state board of censor ship. Hurd Expects Support. According to Representative Hurd, who introduced the first two bills striking at the motion-picture houses of the state, members of the house are in favor of reasonable legisla tion, such as he is fathering, for the control of motion-picture exhibitions. The welfare of our children is of greater Importance than the profits gained by the motion-picture houses," said Mr. Hurd. "I think It Is a grave injustice to the coming generation to permit children of tender years to w'tness reproductions of horrible crimes and pictures showing the commission of felony. .Portland is now in the grasp of a crime wave and I am told that the majority of the criminals are mere boys. There lis no question in my mind, that such is the case, and that tha idea of getting easy money through crime first was gained, con sciously or unconsciously, in a motion picture house. 'Wholesome Films Approved. Constructive and educational pic tures have great value, but the mo tion-picture men are not showin proper concern for the welfare of the public. For that reason I have in troduced my two bills and stand ready to support other tills now being for mulated." Mr. Hurd's argument for his com panion bill deals with the inconven ience to the public through being forced to stand in crowded lobbie waning ior seats alter purchasing tickets ana also the health menace accompanying such crowds. x7-. n x Evening Clothes Cutaway Frocks MADE TO ORDER etween Season Prices Youll appreciate our Wide Selection of rich materials, including year-round Fabrics.
