$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. ,

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.

20. (Special.) After a long- debate in I

raigned by both contending: sides, the
House this afternoon killed the Senate I
bill proposing regulation of trust com
panies. The bill bad been introduced
by the Senate committee on banking
and was passed in the upper house with
a good-sized majority.
Representatives Olson. Llttlefleld,
Schuebel and others opposed it in the
House, while Representative Andrew C.
Smith defended it.
It will drive all the little fellows
out of business," said Mr. Olson. "Every
concern doing a safety deposit busi
ness would have to subscribe to its
regulations.
The measure would have required all veloped at an approximate cost of
trust companies not operating a gen- 003,000, and the present report places

of the legislative committee on the in

Senator Day said the committee was
disappointed in the character or tne
Government report, which is that tne
roject is feasible from an engineer-
insr standpoint, but not from a com
mercial one, and said , he still believed
something could be done to give elec

He declared the Government report

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.'

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

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
