il Liquor Question Out of Way and Po
i litical Maneuvering That Has
Ij Occupied Attention Seems
to lie Nearing End.
:
: OLY1IPIA. Wash.. Jan. 23. (Special.)
Something has been happening every
day thus tar in the session of the 14tn
"Washington Legislature, but it has not
J; been legislation. The liquor question
' .. ,i ..i.,i,.i neiiverlne of the two
. houses, the entire Legislature: the Goy-
' ernor and aspirants ior ieucr..iH ...
: the two houses have occupied roost ot
i the time and minds of legislators in
the last two weeks.
The liquor question has been wiped
' off the map by passage of the Joint
' roiinliitinn nf last week, pledging the
i-Legislature to call no special eiecuun.
1 The legislators have become better ac
quainted with each other and with the
j: Governor, and beginning next week the
J Legislature will be ready to attend
j strictly to the serious business of law
i making.
- How far the Legislature is behind the
-work of previous sessions is indicated
J. by the fact that the bills introduced
. thus far total only 157. of which 110
:. are Senate bills and 47 House bills.
i:on the same day of the last session
:S5 bills had been introduced 142 Sen
I' ate bills and 207 House bills.
Only Two Billn Passed.
With the exception of the two bills
thrmitrh t ht onenin? day. ap-
j. propriuting S1U5.000 for legislative ex
censes and printing, neither house had
!. iassei a bill at this session of the Leg
! islature, whereas the last Legislature
J at this time had a dozen bills passeo
ji by each house and a few measures in
lithe hands of the Governor,
ji This comparison Is not altogether
jifair to the present Legislature, for the
j: House has innovated the plan of first
submitting its important measures to
J. committees. If the bills are approved
;by the committee they are then intro
.Juced as committee measures, the ex-
ipense of printing bills that would have
no chance of favorable consideration
'thus being saved.
Governor Lister is pleased with the
' progress of the session thus far. prin-j-cipally
because of the clearing of
liquor legislation from the decks, even
though the resolution caine irom
1 Republican side, after a Democratic
, resolution to the same effect had been
. sidetracked. Congratulating Senator
I Sharpstein. introducer of . the "dry"
, resolution. Governor Lister yesterday
told the Republican leader he "was con
fident this action had prevented weeks
- of acrimonious wrangling and bad
given more time for consideration of
constructive legislation.
v Two points of difference thus far
have developed between the Governor
"and Legislature. The first has to do
with the failure of the Senate to con-
- firm the appointments of C. A. Itey-
nolds. chairman of the Public Service
Commission, and Fish Commissioner
i L. H. Darwin. These nominations have
not been rejected, however, and it Is
still possible that both1 names, or at
least Mr. Darwin's, may be called out
' of the rules committee and confirmed.
The Democrats plan to allow the rules
committee ample time to consider the
cases. If no action is forthcoming a
r- request then will be made for a pub
lic legislative investigation of both ap-
pointees.
The other impending struggle be
tween the Democratic executive and
- Kepublican Legislature has to do with
530.000 worth of patronage in the hands
of the State Land Board, now Demo-
, rratic. that will become available when
the state and Government land ex
l change deal is perfected. It is not yet
.. certain that the Legislature will fol-.
. ,low the programme outlined by Rep-
. . resentative McArdle to change the
membership of the Land Board so as
to give a Republican majority, but
even should this be done the Governor
lias as yet shown no disposition to
take retaliatory measures, and no gen
eral fight between the two branches
u of Government is in sight.
Governor Gets Consideration.
The Legislature has shown a marked
- disposition to give serious considera
tion to the principal recommendations
of Governor Lister in his message. The
constitutional revision committee is
holding up all proposed amendments,
;;with a probability that instead of
Igs-ibmitting any of them the Governor's
-tplan of a constitutional convention
'Xwill be submitted to the voters instead.
1 The joint committees on education
are calling before them the presidents
; of the institutions of higher education.
President Henry Landes, of the Uni
'.versity of Washington, already has
; spoken strongly for the Governor's
I plan of a critical survey of the in-
fetitutions to eliminate conflicting
courses, as opposed to the Zednick plan
of one board of regents for all institu
tions. President E. A. Bryan, of Wasn
'fington State College, though reported
i I cherishing a gubernatorial bee in op
' (position to Mr. Lister, also has joined
it. the executive in opposition to the
: fcednlck plan and" It is altogether
'probable that the Joint committees will
recommend the survey.' The Legisla
ture also is considering the Sharpstein
" bill to provide tuition fees at the uni
jversity. to provide needed funds for
Jnew buildings.
Recommendations of the Governor
. for appropriations for deportation of
i alien insane have been taken up and
wi'.l be introduced as a committee bill
'of the appropriations committee. The
J House roads and bridges committee
'has signed up enough legislators to
'insure reduction of the permanent
'highway levy, the Republicans have
f decided to abolish the second choice
; provision of the primary laws, and
i. bills have been introduced to provide
machinery for the direct election of
United States Senators, all recora
:i wended by Mr. Lister.
;g Several other recommendations, more
lor less important, are being prepared
"in the form of committee bills or
i already have been Introduced with a
'. ffair chance of passage. There are a
;1 number of the Governor's recommenda-
Jtions, however, that are likely to be
S rejected. These include:
'I Non-partisan election of city and
J county officials.
' Frovision for permanent buildings
'iXor the st.tte fair at North Takima.
c Reduction of the State Tax Commis
si sion to one member. The Legislature
itmav instead abolish the commission
altogether and place the work under
'jthe State Land Commissioner.
There are several other recommen
'fdations concerning which no definite
'faction has yet been taken. These In
.5 elude provision for preferential presi-
! dential primaries, the "first did"
amendment to the compensation act.
J consolidation of non-salaried commis
si slons, an investigation into the feasi
bility of state publication of school
') books, adoption of a state flag and
provision for a state architect.

IS
BILL TO GO BEFORE LEGISLATURE
EXPEDITES LEGAL PROCEDURE.
Proposed Measure Does Away With
Written Pleadings la Justice
and District Courts.
To simplify legal procedure in the
Justice and District Courts is the pur
pose of a measure that lias been pre
pared and will be submitted to the Leg
islature by Harry Yankwlch, local at
torney. He believes the proposed
changes will result in a more expedi
tious and less expensive system.
In this opinion, a number of judges
and attorneys of the city, to whom the
plan has been submitted, concur. Mr.
Vankwich has asked the advice of Fed
eral Judge R. S. Bean, W. P. La Roche,
City Attorney: Colonel C. E. S. Wood.
Judge Henry E. McGinn and numerous
other persons. All have given, the plan
their support.
The measure as prepared does away
with written pleadings in the District
and Justice Courts. The new plan is
for the plaintiff simply to go before
the Judge and tell him the cause of
his complaint against the defendant,
whereupon the latter is brought in by
summons and the Judge hears the de
tails of the case at issue and deter
mines it upon its merits. The measure
is prepared so as to get the facts. In
each case as fully as possible.
In the opinion of Mr. Yankwich the
increase in jurisdiction to $500 and giv
ing exclusive Jurisdiction in the -District
and Justice Courts up to 250
will have two good results. First, it
will cut off a large number of cases
from those pending in the Circuit Court
and will do away with congestion In
that court. Second, he holds the new
plan will give to the small litigant an
easy, inexpensive and expeditious way
of settling his differences.
Sections 17 and 21 of the new meas
ure provide that no appeals can be
taken to the Circuit Court from the
District Court if the sum is less than
$50. or when the Judgment, including
costs, is less than 140 or the fine less
than 25. This, It is thought, also will
have a tendency to keep many cases
from being brought to the attention or
the Circuit Court.
Under the present system of pro
cedure, believes Mr. Yankwlch, an at
tachment is issued summarily, and in
many cases unjustly, bringing ruin to
the business man who is attached or
discharge to the employe whose- wages
are garnisheedV'The measure to be pre
SIDELIGHTS OF LEGISLATURE
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Jan.
(Special.) Nearly a score of
House members remained in Salenr to
day despite the week-end vacation and
msa,r nt thom were at their desks bright
and early this morning as usual. Some
were working on proposed legislation
and others were poring over the printed
bills so that they may vote intelli
gently when they come up for final
consideration.
R.nrcuntative Lewis. Of St. JOHnS,
had a stenographer busy all day taking
dictation for a number or measures
.hot ha nrnnnHPS to intrcluce early In
the week. Representatives Irvin of
Newport. Olds oi iaiayenc, .

says the House membership is com
posed of honest men. He ieii mo um
brella standing loose In a corner of
the east cloak room for three days
this week and found it in the same
place when he wanted t. The fact
that it hadn't been raining in Sa'.em
for three days was presented to Cobb
as a probable reason for this ap
parent honesty.
They can have all the fun they want
with D. C. Lewis, but they can't "get
his goat." He turned a fine trick the
other dav when some of the boys pre
sented him with bunch of carnations
and a card complimenting him npon
being the "most charming woman" on
the east side of the House. Immediate
ly after recess Lewis "got right back"
by asking the Speaker for a point of
personal , privilege. Then he made a
neat speech, declaring that only one
member of the House is entitled to a
bouquet. Whereupon he picked up his
carnations and carried them through
the main aisle past the Speaker's desk
and deposited them upon the desk of
Miss Towne. , .
The House committee on health and
public morals is wrestling with the
Lewis prizefight bill. It is understood
that a majority of the members are
unfavorable to It. although an effort
will be made by its proponents to se
cure a divided report. Lewis Is pre
paring to defend it on the floor.
"Anvway, we are going to have
some fun with It when it comes up
for debate." be says.
Thomas McCusker, who has ben
visiting the House for the last few
day declares the anti-lobbying bill
is not so "remedial" a piece of leg
sented to the Legislature gives discre
tion to the Judge to investigate the
merits of the case before the attach
ment is Issued, in order to prevent any
advantage being taken of the defend
ant and to safeguard his interests.
To overcome the objection that the
Judge is given too much power the
draft as prepared contains provisions
that make it easy to challenge a Judge
for unfairness or prejudice. Once he
is accepted the Judge in whom the liti
gants have faith to settle their con-,
troversy Is given power to see that
justice is arrived at in as easy and
expeditious a manner as possible.
It is stated that many a case is lost
by mistakes in pleadings made by at
torneys. It is said that both attorneys
and clients will receive benefit by the
new plan, which will -do away with
pleadings in the lower courts and cases
will be tried upon their merits only
A provision is included to provide for
the payment of Judgments in install
ments whenever this will prove of ad
vantage to unsuccessful litigants who
are in such circumstances that this ar
rangement is required. The measure
as drawn has been printed and will be
presented to the Legislature for its
passage at an early date.
MISS CLARK TO GET PAPER
Governor to Issue Vote Certificate to
Woman Senator.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 23. Special.)'
A certificate of election to he office
of State' Senator from Douglas County
will be issued to Miss Kathryn Clark,
of Glendale, by Governor Wlthycomjbe
Monday morning, following the can
vass of the votes in the special elec
tion by Secretary of State Olcott. Miss
Clark then will be a fullfledged State
Senator, the first woman in Oregon to
hold that position.
Secretary of State Olcott received
by telegraph today the official count
in the Douglas County special election.
The count showed that Miss Clark had
received a plurality of 79 votes out of
a total of 3073 cast. The vote was
shown to be as follows: Miss Kathryn
Clark. 1165; J. W. Perkins. Roseburg,
1086, and George Glynn, Sutherlln, 882.

and advertise to everyone who is

Everyone then will know where the
money is and whence it comes. I
believe the bill will be a boomerang
if it goes through."

Speaker Selling was puzzled yester
day. It was the first time that he
really was "up In the air" since the
session began.
The Lewis bill, aimed to legalize
prizefighting, came up for second read
ing and after being read had to be re
ferred to some committee.
"The bill will be considered, read the
second time and is ready to commit,
amend, engross and pass to third read
ing." rumbled the Speaker in the mono
tone that he is required to use in the
daily routine of grinding out legisla
tion. "It will be referred to the com

"It ought to go to the committee on
game." suggested some member.
"No, let it go to the rules committee."

You Can't Brush or
Wash Out Dandruff
rri,- i .ur wav to get rid of dand
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring: use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in gent
ly with the finger tips.
Do this tonight and by morning most,
If not all. of your dandruff will be
gone, and three or four more applica
tions will completely dissolve and en
tirely destroy every single sign and
trace of It, no matter how much dand
ruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus
trous, glossy, silky and soft and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. It is inexpensive and never falls
to do the work. Adv.
