TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY 10, 1919. DOMESTIC H EUTONS com T BILL FRAMED Mrs. Alexander Thompson to . "Introduce Measure. SPECIAL JUDGE IS PROVIDED Kcw Act, If Passed, Will Remove Care of Delinquents From Mult ' nomah Juvenile Court. STATE" CAPITOL. Salem. Jan. 18. (Special.) Mrs. Alexander Thompson, representative from Hood River and "Wasco counties, will be sponsor for the bill to create a court of domestic rela tions in Multnomah County. She ex pects to introduce the bill early next week in the House. "This measure will be of vast Import ance in handling a situation which is always a difficult one," said Mrs. Thompson, in commenting today on the proposed bill. "Provision will be made for taking out of the hands of Juvenile Court the care of all delin- auent. nprlprtAfl artri 1 r1 dren, with the jurisdiction placed under the court of domestic relations. Special Judge Provided. A special judge will be created for that purpose, with a salary of 4000 a year, and In addition to caring for the dependent, delinquent and neglected children, he also will have charge of mothers' pension matters and the com mitment of all insane and feeble minded children. "It is the desire to hold the parents responsible for the delinquency of the child and also to keep children from coming into contact with the associa tions which the law now thrusts upon them. The children will no longer be brought into the court with all the spectacular effect coincident with a criminal trial. The present system of locking them up also has a decidedly baneful influence. Politics o Be Removed. "T1" Judge of the new court will Bit in an advisory capacity with other circuit judges at all divorce casts where the question of the custody of children is involved. "He will be selected from a list of three names to be chosen by the Child Welfare Commission. The appoint ment will be by the Governor in the first Instance and his successor will be chosen at the next general election. All deputies, probation officers and other assistants will be selected on ad vice of the Child Welfare Commission, thus removing the court from politics as far as possible and providing a tribunal for the welfare of the chil dren which will have that for Ita sole aim and object. "If the bill becomes a law I am cer in .lt, wil1 hav6 a highly beneficial effect in assisting to develop the moral standard of delinquent children and in developing dependent and neglected children. regard to ths salary for the office of District Attorney for Wasco County. By coincidence. Representative Xodd is the author of a bill which would prevent the growth of dodder. In side tracking the facetious remarks of mem bers, he explains that dodder is a para site of the alfalfa family and had noth ing whatever to do with the Dodd family, albeit there are already two little Dodds. Representative A. A. Smith, of Baker. is preparing a bill which will provide mat Denellclarles under the workmen's compensation act may receive payments in a lump sura if they desire, ra-Kher than on the monthly plan. His bill also will provide that where a temporary Injury becomes permanent, the benefi ciary will be decreased In his award only as to the amount of money he receives while temporarily disabled and not as to the number of months, as now provided. Such provision, says Mr. Smith, has worked a hardship In a number of cases. Another amendment he proposes is to aliow the beneficiary either to elect to sue or to accept the award of the commission, in cases where the Injury is due to the negli gence of the employer In failing to observe a law, such as the factory In spection act. HOOD RIVER APPLES AT SALEM Senator John R. Nickelsen Will Pre sent Fruit to Colleagues. HOOD RIVER, Or.. Jan. 18. (Spe cial.) When State Senator John R. Kickelsen returns to Salem Monday to resume his work at the legislative session- he will carry with him boxes of selected Hood River Spitzenbergs. Gifts of the fruit will be made to members f both houses of the Legislature. Senator Nickelsen, who heads the penal Institution committee and who is a member of committees on elections and privileges, game, horticulture, ir rigation and public buildings and insti tutions, expects to be unusually busy after next week. Senator Nickelsen says the proposed legislation on road bonding Is the big thing before the Legislature. The members, he declares, are unanimously in favor of more bonds, but are divided on how to go about it. Some propose an lnerpasn nn auto licenses of 25 per cent and others want tnem increased 100 per cent. Senator Nickelsen's report on senti ment against the proposal that the Leg islature again vote ?u.ooo, to be added to a joint fund provided toy this stae. "Washington and British Columbia, for the purpose of exploiting the. scenic assets of the Northwest, has aroused local interest. Except for some rural factions, local sentiment favors the ap propriation. The Commercial Club has indorsed the proposed appropriation. "If a vote were taken on the Tourist Association appropriation at the present lime," says Mr. Nickelsen, "It would surely be lost." Legislative Sidelights. QJTATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or, Jan. 18 kj (Special) She is pretty to look upon, but her acquaintance with short hand and the typewriter is not exten sive. She is stenographer for Senator The Senator Is dictating: "My bill unfortunately fell Into the hands of Senator So-in-so who, to say tne least, is not in sympathy with the autnor ol the measure. A half hour 'later Miss Stenographer returned to nis desk with the typewrit ten copy. The Senator read: "My bill, unfortunately, fell into the hands of Senator So-in-so, who, to say the least. Is not in sympathy with the oath or the Major." Senator LaFollett, Marion County larmer, has a consistent habit of com ing into the Senate chamber each morn ing with his pockets loaded down with "Willamette Valley apples. Nor does the Senator pass up the press table when the apple distribution Is in progress. Some good caterer could reap a small fortune if he could only obtain a lunch room concession somewhere about the Capitol building. On two days this week it has been so stormy that legis lators did not care to venture out in the rain and storm. The lobby cigar stand has done a thriving business with sandwiches, but some of the lawmakers and attaches could look for something more substantial. "This door closed because of the wind," reads a typewritten legend to be found on the bl.gr front door on the west side of the Capitol building during the noon hour. And there are those about the building who are frank enough to inquire whether it is the wind from the House and Senate orators or that which the elements raise In rain-swept Salem. John Cochran, chief clerk, and John Hunt, assistant chief clerk of the Sen ate, are dubbed by some of the Senators as the Gold Dust Twins. Pressed for an explanation, the solons say it is be cause the two Johns "do the work." Francis Galloway, District Attorney for "Wasco County, was here today vis iting members of the Legislature. He recently returned from the artillery service, and states he will resume his duties as District Attorney tomorrow. Incidentally, he remarked that his side trip to Salem has no ulterior motive In HOOD TO PRESENT NEEDS Increase in Appropriation for Expe riment Station Wanted. HOOD RIVER, Or, Jan. 18. (Spe cial.) In co-operation with apple growers of the Rogue River Valley and other parts of the state, orchard Ists of Hood River will ask the Leg islature to adopt the recommendation of the Oregon Agricultural College to increase the annual appropriation of $3000 a year for the past two years to $4000 for the next biennium for the maintenance of the Hood River branch of the Oregon Experiment Station. Hood River County makes an annual appropriation of $2000 for the station work. It is said that the increased ap propriation is necessary, if the sta tion undertakes work needed in fight ing disease pests and solving problems of fertilization and cultivation. It is pointed out that the station is not a Hood River institution, but operated for the entire state. A large, num ber of the bulletins written from ob servations of men stationed here are to be given National circulation.
