THE SUNDAY OREGQXIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 21, 1915. $631,700 PASSED FOR STATE NEEDS House Only Able to Cut $19,000 From Appropria . tions Recommended. It merely means that the House and Senate have passed a bill that changes the name of the Railroad Commission to the "Public Service Commission of Oregon." The duties and personnel of the Com mission remain the same. The change was made for the reason that it de scribes more adequately the function of the Commission now that It han dies all public utilities as well as rail roads. , FISH FUNDS ARE RESTORED Agricultural College Denied $4000 for Seed Testing Purposes and $15,000 for Purchasing Brick Clay Land Is Eliminated. STATE C.APITOU Salem. Or, Feb. 20. (Special.) Although members of the House rot down to work this morning with large pruning- knives ready to apply on the appropriation bills, they !id not use them. While an aggregate of J631.700 in appropriations were passed, only 119, 009 were trimmed from the recom mendations of the ways and means committee. The members found that Chairman Cobb and his associate economy ex perts on the ways and means commit tee had been doing a good bit of prun inc themselves, so the reports that they presented to the House embraced only i the actual necessities for oonductlng various departments of the state government. L'pon motion of Representative Schuebel. the House voted to sidetrack the bill carrying $4000 for seed test ing work at the Oiegon Agricltural College. Mr. Schuebel pointed out that the Agricultural College is prepared to conduct seed tests and that it should perform the work for the farmers from its own funds without asking, for an additional appropriation from the Leg islature. The House agreed with him almost unanimously and the bill grace fully went down the skids. Fish Appropriation Made Representative Schuebel also engi neered the attack on the appropriations of $11,400 for the Master Fish Warden and Deputy Fish Warden, $3000 for the Deputy Fish Warden in district No. 2 and $3000 for the. Master Fish Warden 1 in district No. 2. Speaker Selling and ( others, as well as Mr. schuebel, point ed out that the licenses collected by the fish department ought to be suffi cient to pay the salaries of the war dens. This bill was defeated in the morning, but was reconsidered and passed in the afternoon. Representatives Schuebel, Jeffries and others learned this afternoon that their action of ctutlng out these it,ems this morning would leave me state without means to police waters, and there was no opposition to their pro gramme to reconsider and pass the bill. The House killed the proposed ap propriation of $15,000 for the purchase of a tract of 71 acres of land ad joining the Penitentiary property, from R. Catlin. .It was the intention of the Board of Control to use the surface of this land for clay with which to manufacture brick at the Penitentiary. In spite of protests from Repre sentative W. O. Smith and others, the House authorized the expenditure of $25.0JO for purchase of the Salem hos pital property, adjoining the Oregon State Insane Hospital. This building will accommodate about 100 patients and is expected to aid in relieving the congestion at the state institution. Representative Smith declared that the management ' of the state hospital In the last two years has been ex travagant and that the proposed pur chase of the Salem hospital property was nothing more or less than a "holdup." Retort Made by A. C. Smith. He was given a sharp retort by Rep resentative Andrew C. Smith, of Port land, who rebuked him severely for his criticism of the state officials. Dr. Smith emphasized the need of the ad ditional hospital space. The House supported the ways and means com mittee and passed the bill. Representative Cardwell wanted . to wipe out the Bureau of Mines and I Geology, with Its appropriation of 335.000. and made a humorous speech in favor of his contentions, recount ing some of his experiences In mining in Arizona, Alaska and other places, but the House voted him down and allowed the appropriation. . The ways and means committee did not bring In a bill for support of the child labor Inspection work; and $5000 Item was inserted In one of the other bills on motion of Representa tive Huston.

OXE-CHOICE VOTIXG CHAXGED Houses Passes Bill Altering Na tional Delegate Election Plan. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or- Feb. 20 (Special.) The House this afternoon passed Senator I. C. Smith's bill to change the method of electing dele gates to the National party conventions so that voters may have more than one choice among the candidates. The bill also eliminates the provision In the present law that requires the state to pay the expenses of the delegates to these conventions. Under the present law every voter ps allowed but a single choice in select ing delegates. All delegates are chosen from the state at large. The new law will provide for electing four delegates to each party convention from the state at large and two from each Congres sional district. Every voter thus has an opportunity of voting for six can didates. As the bill came over from the Sen ate it wiped out certain sections of the direct primary law. This was not dis covered until after the clerk had started to call the roll, but House members detected It in time to elim inate the anti-primary provision.

L. F. Harza, project engineer, gave out the following written statement after Senator Day. made the report of the committee: Mr. Hans Make .Defense. "The technical report of the Columbia River power project prepared by the committee's engineer, w. E. Morris, is chiefly devoted to an effort to dis credit the report of the investigating engineers, largely by mtsrepresenta tlon. The statements made before the Senate by I. N. Day, chairman of the state Investigating committee, as far as they pertain to the technical work of the investigating engineers in de termining the engineering and com mercial feasibility of the project, were extracted from Mr. Morris report While I feel that any reply to the feelings of personal enmity which were injected into the discussion ' by Mr. Day before the Senate are beneath the dignity of an engineer engaged to studv a technical problem, yet I wish to offer a word of defense for the technical and hence only part of the Investigation which concerned the public. "In Judging the weight to be placed upon the criticisms offered I wish to state that the committee's engineer was an unsuccessful applicant for the posl tlon of project engineer. I also will state that much friction arose between the Federal authorities, and the state committee. "Please balance these criticisms, in view of this fact, against the following remarks made by the board of review of this project in their official report thereon: ' " 'In closing we desire to express our high appreciation of the large amount of work which the authors of the main report with their collaborators and as sistants have accomplished in a limited time, and of the thorough and careful study which these various problems have received at their hands.'

State Industrial Accident Commissioner un der appointment by ex-Governor West, became the storm center of debate In the Senate today, after a letter from her offering to resign if the Senate would pass the Schuebel compensation act, as passed by the House, had been read by Senator Garland. The letter tried to make it appear that important legislation was being blocked because of an alleged fight on the writer, and that with her out of the way it would be passed. Several Senators thought it bore the marks of the ex-Governor, and Senator Day, in urging the Senators not to lose their tempers, declared no attack had been made on Miss Hobbs, but what had been done was aimed at the man be hind her. Before reading the .letter. Senator Garland said Miss Hobbs had promised to give up the most lucrative position ever given a woman in Oregon in or der to save the compensation act. He thought it a noble motive that prompted her act and dramatically ex claimed: "This is a monument to the unselfish ness of woman and to the ingratitude of man." Senator Kiddle, chairman of the Sen ate conference committee on the meas ure, characterized the statement of Senator Garland as "a dastardly at tempt to put the conference committee In a false light, and Is entirely un called for." Upon request of Senator Garland, it was ordered that the letter of Miss Hobbs, which is as follows, be placed on the minutes: "Please be advised that while. holding public office, I am more deeply con cerned in the preservation of the workmen's compensation law and the protection of the thousands of widow and orphans, who will become its bene ficiaries. than in keeping my position 'I will offer, therefore, in consider ations of the Senate's acceptance of the Schuebel bill (House Bill 22) without amendments, which will insure the stability of the compensation act and the preservation of the three com missioner plan, which Is absolutely necessary if that Just balance and har mony as between affected Interests are to be maintained, to place my resigna tion in the hands of the Governor to become effective 90 days after the ad- ournment of the Legislature, the date said bill will take effect."
