state. This rneaeure seems to be little
understood and members of the Sen
are are not disposed to express them
selves one way or the other. Mem
bers of the House who have dtseusacd
the Metralf bill are opposed to It.
Th question resolves Itself to this:
That If no action la taken on the House
Mil. th Metealf bill will receive llk
treatment and unless the Senate fnraet

STATE CAPITOL. Faleru. Or.. Fsb. IL.
(Special.) Tliat at leaat two of th
members of th Lcglalatur are op
posed to th "salary arab" bllis for
county officers, which bare flooded
th House and tb Create during tb
present session, la evidenced In a let
ter which Senator Norton and Ilepre
senlatlt Smith of Josephine, hare pre
pared for tb benefit of tbolr constitu
ents.
i wish th Governor would veto all
of thsse bills. stated Senator Norton
today, when comuirullnf upon t!;en.
-There has teen an unusual number
cf them and In my nilnd they are un
necessary and unc.illed for. H Is true
ther are cases where county officers
are underpaid and should be given
proper coneMcratluu. Hut thle flood of
Ml. a Is certainly unwarranted as It In
certain tliat lii majority of officers
la th state are not underpaid and the
crcat quantity of Increasea asked fof
would Indicate this to b the case."
Considerable Interest attache as to
what action tb Governor will take In
respect to these salary bill. Governor
Chamberlain vetoed all of the salary
bills following th last session, ex
plaining Ms action by stating- that It
Is unwis and Improper to Increase the
salary of an officer during his terra of
of) Ice. .
The letter on this subject prepared
by .Senator Norton and Kepresentallv
trtmlth follows:
" lurlr. ti e present session we have
been criticised by some of our citizens
for not Introducing bills raising th
salaries of varloua of our county offi
cers, and we lake the liberty of taking
thta method to explain our poaltlon t
those who may be Interested.
"We appreciate and agree that vari
ous of our county officers are I.IkUI
underpaid and that the services they
are obliged to perform are entirely dis
proportionate to the salary they re
celve. We have been confronted with
he fact, however, that our county 1
heavily In debt and that th lax levy
required for the city of Grants I'as
Is hirhrr than th rat of levy for the
city of Portland.
We believe, however, that the pros
pectlve rallrgad construction and th
general development promised along
all lines will be such during the com
Ir.g two years that the members of the
Legislature from Josephine County Irf
the next Legislative Assembly will be
warranted In Introducing bills making
substantial Increaa In toe talari
of ai least the schol suerlntendentt
county treasurer and couni JuJkc, a
well as an Increased allowance for
deputy hire In the assessor's office. W
hav at this session, however, passed a
bill giving a second deputy lo the
county clerk's office and Increased
the salary of the first deputy In both
le clerk and sheriffs offlc lo f.s
per month.
We wish to say further, however.
that there la now pending House Pill
No. - 1. which provides. In substance?
that whenever. In the opinion of the
rounly court, the salaries of any of
the county officers are Inadequate th
court may. by order, regulate or fix
these salaries subject to referendum
to th pe.ip'e which shall l voted upon
at te next rervTar election.
We would m'.ft call attention to the
fart lhat the members of the legisla
ture are the most higolr nnderpsid of
ficers of the state or of any county.
and we trust that our county officers
will try to bear temporarily with th
preeeni conditions.

Considerable evidence Is being gath

l9peelal.l Governor West today vetoed
the Bu-hanan bill to ahol.sh the whipping
post. Oerlsring that the wlfeheater is a
relic of barbarism, as much so the whip
ping post, he sent the following veto
message to the House:
"I return herewith House bill No. 101
(Bucl annn bill .repeating the whipping
post law) without my approval.
'It Is ssld Ihst the whipping pos Jaw
should be repealed becaik-o it Is a relic
of harbaris'm. Perhaps Hi whipping of
wlfebenters is. In a manner, a barbarous
practice, but you should remember that
the wlfebeater '.a also a relic of barbar
ism and it seems to me that It is morst
fitting that we retain upon our statute
books at least one such barbarous punish
ment for these barbarians.

that the House was not tinder that or

votes, the. House today passed two bills

Inir I32S.2.-.8.9J. In the final vote.
Speaker Rusk, and Representatives
Thompson. Mahoney and Smith sup
ported It under protest, explaining that
hey were opposed to voting ior um
which Included- appropriations lor
buildings alonsr with other Items nec
essary for a state institution.
Spirited Debate Results.
Mahonev tried to have the bill re-
referred to the ways and means com
nilttee for the purpose of eliminating
the Item of 175.O00 for the adminis
tration building and this provoked
solrlted debate.
"It Is time for this Legislature to
nractice retrenchment." said Mahoney.
From the estimates I have been able
to compile this Legislature will saddle
on the taxpayers of the state an ap
propriation t2.500.000 In excess of the
aggregate of appropriations two years
ago when the Legislature expended
$4,000,000. I am satisfied the appro
priation for the administration build
ing can be left out of the bill and not
in any way impair the efficiency of
the university.'
Thompson. Hollis "and Brownhlll ar
gued In a similar vein, while the uni
versity was chnmpioned by Eaton.
McKlnney. Cole. Fouts, Huntington and
Clyde. Fouts and Clyde charged that
Thompson, in opposing the bill, was
playing politics and seeking to punish
Eaton, who "would not stand In and
play ball with the "old guard in legis
lation coming before the Legislature."
Thompson vigorously denied the im
putation that he was either seeking to
punish Eaton or that he was playing
politics and explained his position by
saying that the appropriation for an
administration building, which was not
actually, demanded at this time, could
wait for another two years.
Washington Taking Students.
In the debate it developed that the
cost of conducting the Suae University ,
Is $175 per student annually, while the
cost per capita in other leading univer
sities of the United States is $250.
Fouts charged that because of its im
proved equipment and by reason of
its more liberal support by the state,
the University of Washington was at
tracting to it t great many young peo
ple from Oregon who were desirous of
availing themselves of the best educa
tional facilities In the Pacific North
west. Mahoney's motion to rerefer was de
feated and the bill passed by a vote
of 47 to 10. The separate bill provid
ing $175,000 for a library building

WARM CONFLICT THREATENED
Senate May See Fight Over Rogue
River Fishing BUI.
STATE CAPITOU Salem, Or.. Feb. 11.
(Special.) From the fact that sev
eral of the Senators have expressed
themselves as pledged to their con
stituency that they will refuse tcf take
part In amending or repealing any of
the laws enacted by the people, two
factions in the Senate are to a certain
measure lining up in respect to the
Rogue River fishing bill, introduced In
tha House by Peirce and passing that
body Friday. The bill repeals the in
itiative act passed at the last election
which prohibits fishing in that river.
Consideration of the proposed meas
ure threatens to precipitate a warm
conflict when It appears for final pas
sage In the upper body. The conflict
will not wage aroundthe merits of the
bill so much as it will around the ques
Hon of whether the Legislature may
safely repeal such a law after the peo
ple have given it their sanction. The
wide djversity In the number of votes
cast 'on the various measures at the
last election will enter Into the ques
tion to some extent, as many of the
measures received but scant attention
from the people and were apparently
not given much thought.
That there is a distinct difference of
opinion among the Senators as to their
attitude on the question Is so appar
ent it will probably result in a pro
longed debate early in the week.
