SENATE IN FAVOR OF
ADDITIONAL JUDGE
Bill to Create Department 7
In Multnomah County
Passes, 19 to 10.
ACT IS MADE EMERGENCY
Senator Moser Points to Congested
Dockets as Showing Need Mr.
Kellaher Would Refer
Measure to People.
STATE) CAPITOI Salem, Or- Fob. 13-
(Special.) Although it had strong
ppositlon because of a sentiment that
the people should be allowed to pass
upon the question. Senator Moser's bill
containing an. emergency clause pro
viding: another Circuit Judgeship for
Multnomah County was passed by the
Senate today. If it becomes law the
Governor will appoint a new Judge,
who will preside, over what will be
known as department 7 immediately
after the Governor signs the measure.
Senator Moser said" that certain mem
bers of the Judiciary committee, which
prepared the bill, thought the county
should have two or three additional
Judges. Ho declared that Seattle,
which is no larger than Portland, had
IS Circuit Judges and that Tacoma,
which Is much smaller, had as many as
Portland on the average. The Multno
mah Senator said a Judge from an. out
side district was serving in Portland
under a law passed at the 1913 session
of the Legislature, and Btill the docket
was far behind. He asserted that the
records show tha Multnomah Judges
handle as much business, more than
two to one, as Judges in other districts
of the state.
'I ask unanimous consent to amend
this bill so it shall be voted upon at
the next election." eaW Senator Kella
her. "it is a question that should be
determined by the people. It Is true
that Judges from out In the stt.te have
rat in Multnomah County, and It is
true also that Multnomah County
Judges have gone out in the state to
work."
Senator Kellaher said it was espe
cially advantageous to Multnomah
County Judges to have assignments out
in the state when they were candi
dates for higher offices.
There is no necessity for an addi
tional Judge in Multnomah County."
said Mr. Kellaher. "The taxpayers are
overtaxed and we should stop some
place."
Senator Ilmick opposed the bill on
the ground that there was no need for
the emergency clause being attached to
It. He did not think the bill would
be referred to the people If passed, he
said, but thought they should have a
chance to vote upon something that
would increase taxes.
Senator Moser declared that all bills
creating Judgeships had contained
emergency clauses and that another
Judge in Multrfomah County was sore
ly needed. He said the poor litigants
needed quick action, and because of
the congested conditions of the dock
ets In Multnomah County they often
had to wait a long time.
Senators voting for the bill were:
Barrett. Bingham, Bishop. Burgess,
Butler, Cuslck, Pay, Garland. Hawley.
lfollis. Kiddle. T-einenweber. McBride.
Moser, Perkins. Vinton, Von der Hellen.
Wood and Thompson.
Senators voting against the bill were:
Clarke. Dimick. Farrell. Kellaher,

STATU CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Feb. 13.
-(Special.) Miss Towne today re
ceived a letter from Secretary Frank
lin K. Lane, of the Federal Department
of the Interior, thanking her for her
efforts In obtaining the passage of the
bill ceding police Jurisdiction over Cra
ter Lake National Park to the United
States Government.
Secretary Lane says he has been In
formed that Miss Towne was largely
responsible for the measure, which was
much desired by the Federal authori

title to the park property but no au
thority to enforce the law there. The
bill has been signed by the Governor
and now is a law, as It carried an
emergency clause.

SPEAKER AXD MEMBER CXASH
Mr. Lewi, of St. Johns, Answers
Back Over Fish Act-
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or- Feb. 13.
(Special.) Speaker Selling and Rep
resentative Lewis, of St. Johns, en
gaged in a little controversy at this
afternoon' session that served to en
liven the otherwise dull proceedings
somewhat. -
The Senate bill providing new fish
ing regulations on the Columbia River
in accordance with the recent confer
ence of Oregon and Washington Legis
latures came over and upon motion
of Representative Handley the rules
were suspended and the measure was
placed on third reading, so that it could
be disposed of and sent to Olympia for
ratification. Mr. Lewis protested
against this procedure, saying he had
not had time to study the bill, and
served notice that he would vote "No."
'ilf you haven't sufficient confidence
in the report of a committee consisting
of seven members of this House and
seven members of the Senate, together
with a like number from the State of
Washington, you have a perfect right
to vote against the bill," said the
Speaker.
"It isn't a question of confidence,
..enrarH . V. A D, JnhlDI TT1 !i tl. "I think
we are going too fast here. According
to the Speaker's Ideas we migni ua
well vote "Yes" on every bill that la
indorsed by the committee."
The Speaker pounded with the gavel
and ordered the Clerk to call the roll.
On every bill that came up during
the rest of the afternoon Lewis voted
"Aye." explaining that he did so be
cause he had confidence In the com
mittee. NORMAL FUND IS VOTED
SENATE PASSES S5O.0OO ITESI FOB
MONMOUTH SCHOOL.
Money Is for Construction - of Ne
BnlldlaaT for Training; Work.
Hawler Champloa of Itesa.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or, Feb. IS.
(Speoial.) By a vote of 21 to the
Senate today voted an appropriation
of 50,000 for erecting a building for
training work at the Oregon State Nor
mal School In Monmouth. It was the
opinion of the larger numoer or
ators that inasmuch as the state had
only one normal school It should be lib
erally supported.
cnnnr Hawlev. author of the bill,
said the stato was not supporting its
normal school as it should. The pub
lic school of Monmouth was now used
as a training school, he said, and the
facilities were not adequate. The Sen
ator asserted that California, Washing
ton and other states had provided more
liberally than Oregon for their normal
schools, and that this state should not
lag in that respect. Senator Bingham
recited the history of the normal
schools of the state, and said that three
had been starved to death.
"The normal school is not popular in
my section." declared Senator Garland.
"However. Senator Hawley has per
suaded me the bill should be passed.
We are gojng to give the school what
it needs, but the teachers should be
Instructed that their business is to
teach and not to try to dictate to the
taxpayers. There is an organization of
teachers that is trying to do this."
Senator La Follett said the state
coulj not afford to make the appropria
tion at this time. When the continuing
appropriation of one-twenty-fifth of a
mill was provided for the school, he
declared, it was the understanding im
provements were to be made from that.
He charged Senator Hawley, a a mem
ber of the ways and means committee,
of aiding in cutting down other ap
propriations, but was fighting for the
one for his own district.
"Any money spent for the betterment
of the schools is economy," said Sen
ator Butler. "This is a matter of state
wide importance and the bill should be
passed."
"I think this bill should be passed
without one dissenting vote," said Sen
ator Clarke.
Senator Kellaher said the bill should
be referred to the people, because a
promise had Deen maae wnen iiie iiim
age tax was allowed that the Improve
ments should be made from mat.
Senator Smith, representing Coos and
Curry counties, said it was Just as es
sential for a teacher to have training
as a physician or a lawyer, and there
fore the school should be liberally sup
ported. Senator Wood agreed with Senator
La Follett in the declaration that the
millage tax was sufficient.
PRO-FARMER ACT IS PASSED
House for Bill Aimed to Ephold
Co-operative Concerns.
STATE CAPITOI Salem, Or., Feb. 13.
(Speical.) A measure intended to
prevent big dairy and creamery
corporations from freezing out the
small co-operative concerns of the
farmers went through the House this
afternoon with a whoop and a hurrah.
All the representatives from the rural
districts voted for it and most of the
urban legislators also were for it.
The bill was introduced by Represen
tative Hunt, of Clackamas County. It
requires creamery companies and
others, who purchase dairy products
from farmers, to file a schedule of their
rates with the state authorities and
prohibits them from paying more for
the same commodity in one community
than they pay In others, freight rates
and other costs being considered.
Representative Hunt explained that
frequently, in various parts of the
state, farmers have attempted to
promote the dairy industry by organiz
ing small co-operative concerns to
manufacture butter, cheese and other
dairy products.
"Everything goes well," he said, "and
along comes the agent for a big city
corporation, who starts to boost tne
prices, paying the farmers about twice
what they are getting at the co-opera
tive plant. The natural result is uu
the farmers sell their milk to the city
chap and the co-operative establishment
is forced to close up. Then as soon
as It is closed, down go the prices.
It has been ruination to the small
creamery and has brought despair to
the heart of many a farmer."
Representative Forbes, of Bend, said
they have-had the same experience In
that part of the country and other
members gave similar testimony.
AUTO AFFIDAVITS DOWXED
"Written Statement Suffices Under

STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or.. Feb. 12.
(Special.) Automobile owners no
longer will be maae to mane amoaviis
of the ownership and description of
their machines when they send their
annual license remittance money to the
Secretary of State If a bill passed by
the House this aiternoon Decomes a
law. It is Representative Sam Brown's
bill and has the indorsement of many
automobile owners.
The present law, say advocates or tne
new hill, has been a source of much
annoyance to owners of machines and
has caused much embarrassment to
Secretary Olcott and the employes of
his office. Frequently persons would
send in their remittances without the
sworn statement and under tne law tne
Secretary of State could not accept th
monev. In such cases the money is
sent back and frequently, it is reported,
the auto owners write saucy letters in
reply. This bill proposes to end all
that. A written statement only will
be required.
A section In the bill providing for in
creased taxes for motor vehicles was
stricken out before it passed the House.

EQUAL PAY PROVIDED
Act Signed for Women Teach

MISS TOWNE BACKS BILL
House Quickly Passes Measure and
Visiting Schoolma'ams Applaud.
Delegation Sees Governor
Affix His Signature.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 13.
(Special.) With the gallery packed
with "schoolma'ams" from all parts of
the state, the House this morning
passed Senator Moser's bill granting
women teachers equal pay with men
for their services. The bill already
had passed the Senate with only two
votes against it and went to the Gov
ernor this afternoon and was signed
by him. Only five or six votes were
recorded against tha measure in the
House.
Led by Miss Marian Towne, Senator
Moser and O. M. Plummer, of the Fort
land School Board, more than two-score
visiting schoolteachers went into Gov
ernor Withycombe's office to see him
sign the bill.
The Governor read it over carefully
and expressed his hearty approval. He
used two .pens in attaching his signa
ture. One pen was taken py Miss
Grace De Graff, as a souvenir for the
Portland Grade Teachers' Association,
and the other by Miss Zilpha Galloway,
as a souvenir for the teachers of the
Albany schools.
Ortaon First State to Act.
The teachers told Governor Withy
combe that his act gives Oregon the
first- state-wide law placing women
teachers on an equality - salary basis
with men. A similar law is in effect
in the New York City schools.
Miss Towne led the discussion for
the bill. Her argument in its favor
was a simple presentation of the facts.
The measure bad been made a special
order at 11 o'clock, but the House was
not through talking about the Juven
ile Court bill until nearly noon, so
MIs Townes served notice that she
would filibuster for the schoolteachers.
"I'm going to talk," she warned the
men, "until every one of you seta bo
hungry that .you'll vote for this bill
merely to get relief."
But she dldnH carry out her threat.
She spoke only for five minutes, at the
end of which time everyone appeared
e&erer to vots "aye.
She called attention to the fact that
the average pay of the woman teacher
Is J22 50 a month lower than that of
the man teacher and that almost Inva
riably the nature of the work and the
service Is the same.
Teasiera' Influence Lauded.
"The two greatest Influences on
character, as we all know, she ass":
ed "are the mother and the teacher,
and if you men think back of your
school days I am sure most of you win
recollect that it was a woman teacher
who contributed the good Influences
from the schoolroom."
The teachera In the gallery enthusi
astically applauded Mis. Towne at the
conclusion of her address and again
applauded the entire House when the
Speaker announced the result of the
rAsCthe measure now stands, the dis
trict school boards "shall not discrim
inate between men and women teach
ers, and for the same and 11 e ices
shall pav women teachers the same or
like compensation as shall be paid to j
men teachers, taking into consideration
the years of successful teaching expe
rience in the districts where the teach
ers are employed."
While it Is pointed out that this
leaves It largely discretionary with the
school boards to determine what, In
their estimation, constitu.es "success
ful teaching experience," the teachers
believe that the bill will go far to
remove discrimination.

you will need), apply it at night when
retiring, use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it In gently with the fin

By morning most, if not sOl, of your
dandruff will be gone and three or four
more applications will completely dls

of the scalp will stop Instantly and
