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.
