BILL RECALLED, PASSED House Again Approves Idea of Pla cing Lands on Assessment Rolls. Rulings Quoted to Show -Grant Is Exempt. STATE CAPITOU Salem, Or., Feb. 17. (Special.) With an amendment suggested by Representative Bean himself, author of the measure, that it be referred to the people. House bill 302, directing' County Assessors to plaee the Oregon & California Kail road grant lands on the tax rolls, passed the Senate late today by a vote of IS to 12. Its passage was preceded by one of the hottest fights of the session. Karlier in the day. Representative Eaton, Mr. Bean's colleague in the House from Lane County, had the bill recalled from the Senate. Bean was absent and Eaton sug gested that the bill lie on the table until Bean returned. As soon as Bean heard of -what had happened he hastened into the House and demanded a reconsideration of the vote by which the bill Hai been re called. This opened the whole question for discussion. Bean won his point on a rollcall vote. This again brought up the question of recalling the bill, and on the rbllcall the House refused to recall the bill. Speaker Objects to Time Wasted. Eaton insisted on talking on the bill and exhausted every parliamentary re source. Speaker itanfield protested against giving further time to consid eration of a bill that . had passed the House by unanimous vote after being reported to the House without recom mendation by the committee on assess ment and taxation, 'of which .Eaton is chairman. Another skirmish between Eaton and Bean developed when the Senate amendment submitting the question to a vote of the people came before the House. Eaton urged, the House not to concur. This would have blocked pass age of the bill. On a rollcall, the House concurred by a margin of three votes. When It came up shortly afterwards in the Senate, it was voted to give Ivepresentative Bean the co.urtesies of the floor for 10 minutes to explain the measure and Its great Import to the state. Representative Eaton had 10 minutes to reply. Sickbed JLeft to Defend BUI. When Mr. Bean objected to his hav ing the final word, declaring that Mr. Eaton's feeling against him was very great, Mr. Eaton said he would pre sent his case in seven minutes and give Wr. Bean three minutes to close. Mr. Bean had left a sick bed to make his fight for the bill. He spoke with great earnestness. "This is no little trifling school mat ter," he said. "It Involves one of the most vital Interests . of the. state of Oregon." . He reviewed-the granting of the land to the Oregon & California Railroad. He quoted the act of Congress that granted to the railroad company proved title to these lands. "The object of this bill," , he contin ued. "Is to declare forever the sover eign right of this state-to tax these lands. "The act of Congress In 19t6 purport ing to revest title to these lands in the United States was merely an Adminis tration act. and will so be held by the courts. Tax Should Be Declared, lie Says. "So I say that if the Government steps into the shoes of the railroad com pany. It becomes the landlord. No act of the Government should remove these lands from the taxable resources of the state. "I hear it said here that my purpose Is to embarrass the Federal Govern ment, but we cannot embarrass the Government one lota. Under the act of Congress of 1916, It Is left to dispose of the lands and of the timber there on, subject to the taxation right of the state. "I say we are not doing our duty, un less we assert -now the -right of this state to tax forever these lands." He pointed out that the Secretary of Agriculture has admitted that he right of the state to tax the lands is a lien upon the lands. He showed how re moving the grant lands from taxation would remove vast areas of taxable properties from various of the counties. "What fa to become or these coun ties," he asked, "if we permit our rights to go by default? Let the Government keepr-these lands off the tax rolls, and deprive the state of its right to tax the lands." . He quoted statements' of Attorney General Brown, who is opposing the bill, to bear out his assertions. "'This office held, by an -opinion written at the request of the "State Tax Commission.' " he quoted from a The Machinery of the Body (BY DR. I. W. SHORT.) The body Is a highly organized ma chine of complicated parts In which the liver and kidneys work for the com mon good. Damage to either one of these organs interferes with man as a motor mechanism. The automobile expert knows how Important it is that the carburetor does not get too much fuel, along with sufficient air to burn or explode the gas. Too much fuel in man's machine, such "as eating too much meat, or alcohol, or- tea, and the liver cannot "turn over." nervous overwork and lack of exercise in outdoor air bring constipation and bad health. Eat less meat, plenty of vegetables, and with air and good exercise you need little else. If the liver needs rousing and most of us need this once a week take a safe vegetable extract of the leaves of aloe, May-apple, root of Jalap, made into a tiny sugar-coated pill, arid sold by almost every druggist as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets first put up nearly fifty years ago. Most people die eventually of an over acid condition. If the blood can be ren dered more alkaline, the longer we live. With regular hours, plenty of water between meals, sensible coarse food and a chance to get the poisons out of the systm, a man will live to be a hundred. But. unfortunately, our high ly nervous- way of living brings in creased storage of uric acid in the body. This acts as a poison, and we suffer from lumbago, aches or pains, rheuma tism, gout. Get rid of this uric acid poison by taking a harmless medicine called An uric, which throws out the uric acid by stimulating the kidneys. Drink a pint of hot water before meals and take Anurio (double strength) three or four times a day. Anurlc car. be obtained at almost any drug store. . .. letter by the Attorney-General, Bearing date September 14. 1916. " 'that the grant lands appearing on record as the lands of the Oregon & California Rail road Company were assessable at their true value.' "And again: 'Since then Congress by an act passed June 9, 1916, under took to revest in the United States title to the Oregon & California Rail road Company grant lands.'. " And another quotation: ."Also In an opinion bearing date June 29, 1916, we advised the .Tax Commission that by reason of said act of Congress of the United States, approved June 9, 1916, which attempted- to revest the title of the Oregon & California grant lands in the United States, if valid, such lands are removed front the tax ing power, of the state of Oregon." In his reply Representative Eaton de clared the bill means simply an order to place on the assessment rolls of the state the lands of the Oregon & Cali fornia Railroad Company. "I cannot see." he said, "why an at tempt should be made to put these lands on the assessment rolls unless It is none to support the contention of the Oregon '& California Railroad Com pany." Danger to Taxes Denied. He declared it. to be his belief and that of many lawyers that if the title reverts to - the Government the lands cannot be taxed. "That," he declared, "is - also the opinion of the Attorney-General. "To be as fair as I know how to be, there can be but two possible objects to this bill. One is" to save to the BiHp the taxes on these lands." -. He quoted the Attorney-General as saying that this is not necessary to save these taxes for the state, and that there is no danger of losing the taxes. "The. only other object of the bill must be," went on Mr. Easton, "to sus tain the contention of the Oregon & California Railroad Company that the title is in the railroad company. "The whole thing resolves itself into this: The railroad company feels that it has no title in these lands and the proof is that it has permitted the taxes on these lands to go delinquent for three years." Tax on Railroad. Proposed. In a three-minute rebuttal Mr. Bean said . "This is not the property of the United States and the Supreme Court has so held. . "But the question here Is one of tax ation. The Government can administer these lands, but it must do so as a landlord. "Mr. Eaton confesses the very point I contend for that the railroad com pany has equity of $2.50 an acre in these lands. And yet we are taking them off the tax rolls and not. assess ing them a dollar. "All the Interest I have In this mat ter is the state's interest. All I want is a fair expression of the state's right." To show his entire good faith he made the proposal that the Senate amend the bill so as to submit it to the people. Senator Conrad P. Olson moved that the Senate go Into committee of the whole to amend the bill so as to sub mit the question to the people. Submission Is Ordered. "I oppose submitting a question to the people that Congress has already decided on," declared Senator Pierce. By 16 votes the Senate adopted Ol son's plan. Senator Olson's amendment proposed rutting the question on the ballot at the next election. This opened a general debate. Sena tor Eddy maintained that the lands belonged to the United States and that the state had no right to tax them. He maintained the whole question had been threshed out at the land-grant conference months ago. To submit so involved a question to the people would be absurd, he in sisted. "I am surprised to find the defend ers of the people object to putting this in the ballot, retorted Senator Olson. "I am concerned to know whether the state of Oregon shall be a vassal or whether she shall assert her sov ereignty to tax the land within her own borders. HlKhts Should Be Asserted. "If we are going to recognize the right to take parts of oar land off our tax rolls and1 put them in some kind of a reserve, then we might as well sur render our franchise. "They are seeking to take a vast domain off our tax lists and put it into a forest reserve or something and off the tax rolls. "I believe that this declaration here in this bill Is a declaration of our sov ereign rights that will safeguard. "the rights of the people of this state." Others taking part In the general de bate were Senators Hurley, Stelwer and Garland. Garland urged that the measure be submitted to the people. He declared they would defeat it. "Mr. Bean has made his case," said he, "and that case ought to go before the jury." The amendment was adopted with 16 affirmative .votes. The bill in amended form then car ried by a vote of 16 to 12. Those voting yes were: Senators Baldwin, Barrett, Cusick, Garland, Hur ley, Huston, Leinenweber Lewis, Olson. fOrton, Shanks, Smith of Josephine, Von der Hellen, Wilbur, Wood and Moser. Those voting no were Senators Bish op, Dimick, Eddy. Farrell, Gill, Haw ley, LaFollet, Smith of Coos, Steiwer, Strayer and Vinton. STATE FUND WITHHELD SENATE PASSES BILL. AFFTECTIXG PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS. Bishep Asks Reconsideration of Bill Defeated Day Before and Meaa. ore Is Carried. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Feb., 17. (Special.) The Senate today recon sidered its action of yesterday in de feating Senate bill 316, which provides tnat atter December 31, 1918. it shall be the policy of the state not to appro priate any money for the maintenance of delinquent, dependent and defective children In private institutions, and paused the measure, 17 votes to 11. . Senator Bishop, who voted no yes .terday, moved the recommendation. Senators Wood and La Follett opposed the bill on the ground that private in stitutions operate more economically than state institutions, but Wilbur, Moser and others spoke warmly in its favor. Moser declared it and its companion bill, S. B. 317, passed yesterday, which puts up to the people the question of appropriating $200,000 for a state In stitution for delinquent and dependent children, will take the issue of religion out of politics. Those voting for the 'bill tonight were: Senators Baldwin, Bishop, Dimick, Eddy, Gill, Hurley. Huston, Lewis, Olson, Orton, Pierce, Smith of Coos, Smith of Josephine, Stelwer, Vinton, Wilbur and President Moser. Those voting no were: Senators Barrett, Cusick, Farrell, Garland, Handley, La Follett. Leinen weber, Shanks, Strayer, Von der Hellen, Wood. The Senate tonight, without dissent ing vote, laid H. B. 4 on the table. This is the Bowman . measure, already passed the House, providing that no more money shall be appropriated for the support of delinquent and defective children In private institutions, though with the proviso that children already committed may be cared for during the remainder of their period of. commit ment.

Appropriations aggre gating $799,729.17 were carried In a big grist of appropriation bills passed by the House today. Most of the time' in the House was given to appropriation measures. None of the Benate bills on the calen dar for third reading were reached be fore adjournment at 6:30. Other Senate bills kept coming over all afternoon and piling up on the desk. The House waded into these measures immediately after the evening recess and disposed of them in rapid order. The appropriation 'measures were adopted with monotonous routine as they came from the ways and means committee. .."

Chairman Kubll, for some mysterious- reason " remained silent when the subject was under de bate, and it is euspected that he was in friendly collusion with Mrs. Thomp son all the time. When the roll was called about a dozen members voted 'No' on the pas sajre of the bill but before the result was announced the whole bunch got up and changed their votes, so the record shows that Mrs. Thompson won her point unanimously. .

Mrs. Thompson made a brief speech in its favor. The measure is drawn along the lines of similar laws In other states and has the indorsement of various state authorities ' The House defeated Kepresentative Crandall's bill to reorganize the county boards of equalization. The bill would have abolished the board of appeals and made the equalization board con sist of the commissioners, Judge as sessor and county clerk.

After once defeating the Senate res olution providing for the appointment by the Board of Control of a commis sion of five to investigate the cause of delinquency and the feeble-minded among children, the House today re considered its action on motion of Rep resentative Goods and adopted the measure. .

Governor Withycombe to night sent a veto message to the House on Kepresentative Mueller's bill trans ferring Jurisdiction over county roads within the city of St. Helens from the county to the city. His message which is self-explanatory, is as follows: "I am returning herewith House bill No. 415, which I have vetoed. "The object of this bill was to trans fer authority over county roads within the limits of the city of St. Helens, from the County Court to the City Council. "It is set forth by many representa tive petitioners, residents of the city of St. Helens, that such a course would very much interfere with the progress of work now started and under con templation by the County Court. I have attached my veto in view of the fact that the objections to the proposition seem to more than offset the probable advantages thereof."

It will be Impossible here after for any little group of ambitious or selfish politicians in Portland to gain control of the county central com mittee of any party and operate it to suit themselves. This does not refer to anybody in particular, but the boys who had con trol of the Republican county organisa tion in Multnomah County last year doubtless were interested in the action of the House tonight in passing Sena tor Lewis' bill, which make it impos sible to use proxies in organizing county committees, for quite a number of them were in the gallery or in the lobby. It also Imposes other restric tions which are intended to cleanse politics. The bill passed the Senate a few weeks ago. The House killed it on Thursday, but when the Multnomah delegation found what they had done they reconsidered it. Tonight it was passed by an overwhelming vote.

It will be easy for boot leggers to operate under the bone-dry law during the next two years, as the House tonight defeated the Senate bill to grant immunity to persons giving testimony against persons violating any provisions, of the prohibition law. The bill was defeated in the House a few days ago on a nuke, but recalled tonight by Kepresentative Anderson on a rollcall vote. Many lawyers in the House opposed It because, they said, it Is contrary to the rules of procedure in other cases. -It is understood, too, that some of the boys were under strong pressure from the whisky lob byists.
