Many Appropriations Killed.
Althoua-h the bis total of appropriations
does not so indicate, a lot of appropria
tions went to the Kraveyrtrd. 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. Is that
which will follow a constitutional con
vention for not less than JiO.OOO. The to
tal of these continent appropriations is
JL55O.O0O. which reduces the total of ap
propriations for which levy must be made

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:

.When his name was reached in roll
call. 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.

Fifth and
Oregon Constitution Likened
to Crazy Quilt.
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.
The vote by which the minority report
was substituted and adopted follows:
Ayes Albee, Bailey, Barrett, Beach,
Bingham, Chase. Coffey. Cole, Hart,
Johnson, Merryman. Miller (Linn and
Marlon). Mulit. Oliver, Scholfleld. Smith
(Marlon). Bowerman 17. Noes Abra

ATTEMPTS TO AMKXD FAIL
Game Code Remains as Fised by
Senate With One Exception.
STATK CAPITOL. Salem, Feb. 20.
(Special.) 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. All
were rejected except one for the Sher
man and Gilliam members, who wanted
their counties included with Harney,
Grant, Klamath. Malheur and Lake, for
closed season for .geesc and swans.
April 1-September 1 except Canadian
and Honker geese: and one for Morrow,
which wanted to be included for a closed
season for Chinese pheasants and quail
until October 15, 1913, with Grant, Harney,
Wheeler, Gilliam, XTmatIlla and Malheur.
It looked for a time as if the many de

reason that it is designed chiefly for the
building of main highways for automo

out into the farming district from the
