IS KILLED IN
Argument That AH Measures for
More Compensation Be Consid
ered at Once Is I'sclcss.

(Special.) The senate, over the
protest of Senator Strayer, who
argued that all bills carrying in
creased compensation for state offi
cials should) be considered at the
came time, today approved seven
alary measures originating in the
upper house. Another bill receiving
favorable consideration applies to
Umatilla county but Its operation is
contingent upon the approval of the
measure by the voters there at the
next special or general election.
Two of the bills were introduced
T Senator Bell, chairman of the
committee created at the Special ses
sion of the legislature in January, I
ivi). to investigate tne compensa

entitled to a more lucrative salary.
He said it had first been suggested
that the school superintendent should
receive JljOO a year, but that this
amount later was reduced to 14000
Sentaor Strayer. while not averring
that he was adverse to passage of the
salary hills, said it was his opinion
that all measures inereasing the com
pensation of state officers should be
presented at the same time in order
that the members of the senate might
have an opportunity to determine the
extent of the proposed advances and
their effect on the states finances. A
motion (o this effect was made by
Senator Strayer. but was defeated.

Borah Telegram In Head.
The following telegram from Sena
tor Borah was received by Represent
tative Scott Hall:
"It would seem the fair and hon
orable way to dispose of the primary
bill for all to agree that it should
come to a vote in both houses, so
that earh member may record his
conviction by his vote. We should
not quarrel with our friends who are
sincerely opposed to a primary, but
we who favor it. and the people have
a right to ask that the vote be taken
and each man take his position upon
this important question. I feel it
will be a great mistake not to pass
the bill, but if the vote is taken and
a majority is against K we must re
turn again to the people for further
instructions."
The house adopted the Hall reso
lution authorizing the appointment
of a commission by the speaker and

Plans for the construction of the
Foster road trunk sewer system have
been prepared by the department of
public works and are ready for fil
ing. The system, which will be one
of the largest in the city, will cost
approximately $403,000.
The trunk sewer will extend along
Foster road from Sixty-second street
Southeast, to Ninety-second street
Southeast, and thence south to John
son creek. Nearly J 0,0000 lots will
be assessed for the improvement.
For some time after the sewer is
constructed it will be used only for
street drainage purposes, according
to A. G. Johnson, assistant commis
sioner of public works, and will not
carry sanitary sewage. This will be
done because of the fact that the
sewer will empty into Johnson creek.
The Foster road trunk sewer will not
be converted from a drainage carrier
until such time as the proposed John
son creek trunk sewer system is con
structed. It will be about ten weeks before
bids for the Foster sewer system will
be called for. It is boped to have
the sewer completed during the sum
mer. The sewer Is mwch needed at pres
ent to drain the bogs and low lands
of the southeast section, according to
city officials. At the present time,

OLV.MPIA. Wash.. Feb. 15. (Spe

opinion there is no more reason for
providing a source of revenue to pro
vide the tools and machinery fo
lawyers than there is for raisins a
fund to pay for machinery for the
farmer and stating that e could
see no difference in principle. Gov
ernor Hart this afternoon vetoed
senate bill No. 16, by Westfall of
Spokane, providing for the establish
ment of county law Iiberarles in coun
ties of more than 125,000 popula
tion.
In his letter to the senate inform
ing that body of his disapproval of
the bill, the governor stated that he
was in error two years ago when he
permitted the bill establishing the
King county law library to become a
law without his signature, and tnat
he did so on the assurance that the
law only applied to King county and
would not apply to any other.
Precedent Declared Dangerous.
'It may be that the collector of
revenue under cover may be justified
under tht old saying that "What one
don't know won't hurt him,' but in-
as much as many of our paternalistic
expenses. like the oak, grew from
small things, so in my opinion will
this continue to grow, if permitted to
so on." declared the message. "It is
not unreasonable to look forward a
few years, to the time when this law
would be extended to cover every
county in the state, and in the rivalry
of the bar associations for as good or
better libraries than the. other county
has, it would soon lead to the ex
penditure of public funds for this
purpose, if not the levying of a direct
tax to maintain the library."
The governor also vetoed today
house bill No. 6, by Bassett of Spo
kane, making it unlawful for asses
sors to extend any tax levy made by
ny taxing district in excess of the
limit prescribed by law, and requiring
hat where electors authorize such
levy in excess of the legal limit, the
board shall certify the facts of such
lection, and when so certified to the
ssessor he shall return the same im
mediately to the proper officer or
board of taxing district for correction
or revision, and the return of a new
levy conforming to the provisions of
law.
Policy Called Wrong.
In vetoing this measure the gover- ;
nor noted objection .to the policy of .
imposing judicial functions on mln- j
isterjal officers, anr'. declared the ,
burden on public officials and taxing)
bodies was already sufficient.
On motion of S2nator Hutchinson,
the senate today reconsidered its
action on passing the Rockwell bill
restoring horse racin;; and legalizing
the operation of pari-mutuel betting
machines, and the bill was made a
special order for Wednesday morning
at 11 o'clock. Is moving for a re
consideration, Hutchinson announced
that it was for the purpose of per
mitting Senator Rockwell to amend
the measure by attaching a referen
dum clause which would send the bill
to a vote of the people at the next
general election. The bill provides
for 25-day race meets under super
vision of a racing commission to be
named by the governor, and provides
for a license of $500 a day to be paid
the state. It also permits the com
mission to authorize pari-mutuel
betting.
Marriage Bill Ponlponed.
The Davis marriage bill, which was
passed by the senate last week and
reconsidered on threat of Senator Tay
lor of King to defeat the measure
in the house, was on the calendar as
snecial order this afternoon, but
was continued until Wednesday morn
ing and the senate took an early
adjournment.
Senator Loomls bill creating tne
office of state real estate director for
the supervision and licensing of real
estate brokers was passed by the
senate by a vote of 29 to 7. The bill
would make the director of licenses
under the new code also director of
real estate without additional com
pensation. Lnder the act, real estate
brokers are required to file bonds and
recommendations signed by ten free
holders, and the director is author
ized to reoke licenses In case of un
ethical or dishonest practices.
In arguing for the passage of the
bill. Loomis declared the law would
help solve the alien land control prob
lem by preventing upscrupulous real
estate brokers from holding land for
the benefit of aliens. The senate

Simply and tersely stated, Mother's Friend is just exactly what the name
implies a friend and help to mothers.
It has been made and sold for mor '".an half a century. If it did not
possess the value claimed for it, l -her' Friend could not possibly have
remained on the market. For only that which is really worth while and
beneficial can survive.
The mothers who appreciate Mother's Friend the most, and who are loudest
in their praise of it, are those who unfortunately did not use it with
their first baby, and who, through its use with the second one, were able to
fully realize the relief it gave them.
