One of them was $300,010 for Johnson's rond scheme; more than $300,000 for normal schools: I3O.000 for topographic, surreys; $100,000 for Indian fisrht ers of lfw-M: J25.000 lopped off the Seattle fair appropriation; jrjo.000 for Slate Audi tor and Board of Control; $1".000 for building for Oregon Historical Society; 2!t.X lopped off the maintenance- of the Agricultural College: JtO.OOO for steam boiler inspection. This makes a total of nearly tl.000,000 and does not include all the killed money bills. Session Costs $4,200,000. In round numbers the' Legislature appro priated 4.200,0. Of this sum J300,0n0 will not be raised for purchase of the Oregon City lock3 until Congress shall appropri ate a similar sum, and then the state money is to be raised in three annual installments. This year, the state will have in its treasury S0.000. raised under th Ian- of two years ago, for purchasing the locks. This money will be turned Into the general fund and will help lighten the state tax burden next year. Another big appropriation which will not be levied until 1311 Is MOO.000 for an Eastern Oregon insane asylum, at either Baker City. Union or Pendleton, provided the expenditure shall be approved by referendum in November, 1910. Still an other appropriation, contingent on the referendum in November. 1P10.

HOUSES ARE DEADLOCKED Bills From Bach Chamber Killed by Kneniies in Other Body Mud dle Is Left for Next Ses sion to Untangle. DEADLOCK NOT BROKE. SALEM. Or.. Feb. 20. (Special.) Both Houses ot the Oregon Legisla ture stopped their clocks before 2 P. M., the hour set for final adjourn ment, and fought to a standstill the noitnal school bill until 'nearly 11 P. M.. when the' members quit the Capitol, leaving the President and Speaker to end the session. No ap propriations were made for maintain ing the three schools. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Feb. 20. (Special.) A deadlock between the Sen ate and House tonight over the Normal schools ended in final adjournment of the Legislature without any appropria tions for maintaining the three state normal schools at Ashland, Monmouth, AVeston. Normal traders in the House succeeded in defeating all bills appro priating money for the schools and foes of the normals in the Senate de feated all normal appropriations as -fast as they appVarrd In that body. The schools made a last stand In the Senate tonight to win $10,000 each to keep up their work until the end of the present school yc.-vr in June. For this purpose they rushed a bill of Representative McOue through three readings In the House. For a time it seemed likely to win in the Senate, but on passage there it failed to pass with only J 5 votes. Abraham Is Sarciislic. The opposing argument vras that If the schools had valid claim for funds to carry out contracts with teachers for the rest of the school year, tho'next Legislature could appropriate to meet it, but that to appropriate now would only keep the schools alive. Abraham of Douglas said that ho would be will ing to appropriate money then for legit imate funeral expenses for the normals. Bowerman declared that the state is under no legal or moral obligation to pay the debts of the schools, since the law of 1907 specifically declares that no obligations shall be Incurred beyond the money appropriated by the Legis lature. The vote by which McCue's House bill, with Bailey's amendment, was de feated, was: How Members Voted. Ayes Abraham.

Hart said the Senate had been in dulging in considerable horseplay in its consideration of the normal school question. While he had voted consist ently for retention of the normal school system, he said he could not support the amended bill for the reason that he considered it unconstitutional. This objection was based on the ground that the bill treated on two subjects In direct violation of the constitution, lie further denied the right of this Legis lature to say that these schools should not have the right to appeal to the next Legislature for further assistance. Bowerman Leads In Debate. Bowerman, Miller of Linn and Marion, and Barrett led in the fight against mak ing any concessions to any of the nor mal schools. They maintained that for the legislature to make any appropria tion in their aid would amount to legal izing them, with the result that the state would never get rii of them. Bower man quoted from the law of 1907, by which the Board . of Normal School Regents was created, and showed that the pro visions of that law specifically provided that the Board of Regents at no time should contract any indebtedness exceed ing the appropriation made for the sup port of theee schools by the Legisla ture. He contended that the regents had exceeded their authority and that the schools had no legal or just claim against the state. Mulit, Beach. Smith of Umatilla and Johnson urged that funds should be pro vided for maintenance of the schools for the remainder of the school year In spirit of fairness that the state might not be charged with failing to fulfill con ditions of contract by which the services of teachers and employes at these schools were engaged. House Kills Miller's Bill. This morning the House put a $65,000 amendment for Monmouth on Senator Smith's bill, which provided for one nor mal at or near the center of population, but the Senate refused to concur and indefinitely postponed the. bill. Iater the House defeated F. J. Miller's bil! passed by the Senate last night, repealing all the trade normal legislation of preceding t Legislatures. Tonight Representative Mc ! Cus s bill appropriating $10,000 each for the three schools .to continue their work until next June made a big fight In the Senate. Preceding its failure to pass, Bowerman moved indefinite postponement which failed by a vote of 9 to 15. At Bailey's instance the bill was amended so as to abolish all the schools and declare that they should have no fur ther claim against the state. Meanwhile the House indefinitely post poned three bills of the Senate which had been rushed through that body trans ferring the school properties to the city school districts of Ashland and Weston and to Polk County. Earlier in the day Speaker McAr thur introduced a resolution, submit ting to the voters next election the question whether they wanted ' one normal school and whether they want ed the one at Ashland, Monmouth or Weston. In the Senate Smith, of Marion, in troduced a similar resolution, but sub mitting the question whether the peo ple wanted all three normals abol ished, and designating on the ballot Ashland as the Southern Oregon nor mal school. This Smith resolution was substituted by the Senate for the Mc Arthur resolution and adopted by the Senate. ,' III ll .il, 1 HJ luL Arv hKfHi. EfeT - . - i styles and the ordinary inferior grades.

CONVENTION IS CALLED Minority Ueport Submitted for Ma jority Recommendations and Extended llebate Is Had on the Subject. STATU CAPITOL, Salem, Feb. 20. (Special.) Oregon's constitution was de scribed as a "crazy-quilt and a jumble of inconsistencies" by Senator Hart in the Senate this afternoon when Buchanan's bill providing for a constitutional conven tion, subject-to referendum, was under consideration. The bill was passed by vote of IS to 10, two absenL The vote was: Ayes Albes. Bailey, Barrett, Beach. Bingham, Chase, Coffey, Cole, Hart. Johnson. Miller (Linn and Marion), Mulit, Nottingham. Oliver, Parrish, Schol fleld, Smith (Marion), Bowerman. Noes Abraham. Caldwell, Hedges. Kay, Miller (Linn). Norton, Selling, Smnott, Smith (Umatilla), Wood. Absent Kella her and Merryman. The debate on the Mil was spirited. It was introduced by Hart when two reports came back from the judiciary committee. Hart moved that tne minority report, fav orable to the bill, be substituted for the majority report, against the measure. Following the debate, the substitution of the reports was ordered by a vote of 17 to 13. ' Hart said that if a constitutional con vention should be held, the constitution of -he state would be so amended that in the future it would not be such an easy matter to amend it as under the present system. Oregon, he saM. was the only stata that had not held a convention for the purpose of modifying its original con stitution. In closing the discussion. Hart Insisted that the Oregon constitution was antiquated and in support of his conten tion pointed out several of its provisions which are dead letters and disregarded. "VS"e don't need any more revision of the constitution." said Hedges, who sup ported the majority report "There are of the original constitution only three sec tions that remain intact. The people now have the power to revise the constitution at their pleasure and if they wish to make further changes, they can do so on their ovn initiative." Nottingham said that if the lawyers of the state, who probably would have con siderable to do with the proposed revision, were capable of writing anything that could toe interpreted and understood, he would not have any objection to such a convention, but for the present he said he was satisfied with the present constitu- ''ctiase argued there was urgent need for revising the constitution, that its pro visions might harmonize. Beach said the constitution of this state was 50 years old and no longer was adequate to meet present conditions. Smith of Marion declared numerous lawyers in the state had told him there was urgent need for revising the constitution. He quoted Joe Simon to that effect. ' Bowerman, in advocating substitution of the minority report, said that one of the first elements of government was stability, a quality that was lacking in the state's constitution for the reason that, under tfto present system, the or ganic law of the state could be amended at any time In three months. Miller of Linn said he was willing to submit the question to the people, al though he believed it useless, since he was confident that the proposal would be rejected by a big vote. Selling was also willing to submit the matter to the peo ple, but he did not believe mere was any demand from that socrce for the pro posed convention.

Many amendments to the Sen ate game code were attempted in the House this morning. In committeo of the whole, by the members who wanted spe cial changes for their own localities.

HOVSE GIVES APPOINTMENTS TO GOVERNOR. Both HVuscs Pass Tuberculosis San itoria Appropriations of $15,000. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Feb. 20. (Special.) The Dairy Inspector bill, which was defeated Wednesday, was re considered by the House tonight and passed with 31 votes. Before passage the bill was amended by delegating the appointment of three Inspectors to the Governor instead of having the in spectors appointed by the Dairy and Food Commissioner. The Senate con curred in the amendment Both houses have passed the tuber culosis sanitorla bill, carrying an ap propriation of $20,000 for land and S25.000 a year for maintenance. The bill met very little opposition by either house and will be approved by the Governor. During a lull In business in the House this evening Speaker McArthur called to the rostrum Representative F. Y. Conyers of Columbia County, who was a member of the first Oregon Legislature In I860. He was warmly greeted by the members and given hearty applause at the close of a brief speech in which he recounted many incidents of early days in Ore gon.

There is every reason to believe that Washington will keep faith with Oregon in the fisheries matter by en acting laws covering the matters agreed upon at the Seattle conference between committees from the Legislatures of the two states. The fisheries bill has not yet been introduced, but is drawn and will he presented in the Senate Tuesday. Lead ers In both Houses say that there is no indication of opposition and that the bill will be given prompt and favor able consideration. Sailor Bill Postponed. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Feb. 20. (Special.) Upon motion of Representa tive Mcdue, chairman of the House committee on revision of laws, the sailor boardilfg-house bill, s. B. 247, was today Indefinitely postponed. There was very little discussion, Mc Cue declaring that this bill Is merely the result of a fight in Multnomah County, that the present sailor board-Img-house law is working satisfactor ily and that there Is no need for a re vision of the law. There was no roll call on the postponement but it car ried by a large majority. New Jersey farmers, noticing that thsir cows did not "give down" enough, watched t9 see what was happening, and detected geese milking them.

FEAR TAXES INCREASED Only 1 2 Members Vote Favorably for Bill Which Provided Tor Creation of State High way Commission, STATJ3 CAPITOL, Salem, Feb. 29. (Special.) By a vote of 45 noes to 12 ayes, the Johnson road bill was defeated by the House this afternoon. Tho farmer members of the House were . almost solidly against the hill. This was the measure which provided for the creation of a highway Commission and for per manent road Improvement. the cost thereof to be paid three-eighths by the property-owners in the vicinity of the road, three-eighths by the county and two-eighths by the state. Representative Carter spoke in favor of the bill, saying that it was prepared by a committee of 21, representing the Grange, the Good Roads Association, the Federa tion of Labor and other organizations, and that it is the best measure the com mittee could propose with a view to promoting the improvement of highways. Jones of Polk opposed the hill for the reason that it is designed chiefly for the building of main highways for automo biles and not for the roads extending out into the farming district from the cities. He said that though the bill pro vides for payment of the cost by the property-owner, county and state, it all comes out of the pocket of the tax payer and the farmer will pay the greater part of It. Brandon of Linn declared that the main purpose of the bill was to provide. fat jobs for a few officeseekers. He said that I.inn County has as good roH'ls as PILES Quickly Cured Instant Relief, Permanent Cure-Trial Package Mailed Free to All in Plain Wrapper.
