MATTER UP TO LAWMAKERS
J Portland. the distinguished service
j medal which has been awarded him
I by General Pershing in behalf of Presi-
. dent Wilson.
1 Sir. Ely worked for five days and
five nights under bursting shrapnel and
a hail of enemy bullets that communi
cation lines might be established. Hi
labors were only stonped when a gas
wave rolled over him. He was picked
up unconscious and taken tu a dressing
station.
Lieutenant Ely learned what had
happened and slipped away from the
dressing station to finish the work,
and at the end of another 12 hours he
again fell under a gas attack.
Mr. Ely enlisted nearly two years ago
as a wireles3 operator at Portland. He
is well known in Eugene, where he
formerly lived. He. is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. A. W. Ely, of Portland, who
have six sons, three of whom are in
service in France.
Bigsest Slash Made in Case or In
dustrial Accident Commission.
Normal School Warned.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Jan. 25.
(Special.) The joint ways and means
committee, during its first two weeks of
wrestling with the financial problems
which confront the Oregon Legislature,
has tentatively allowed $2,002,863.44 of
the J2.845.176 of the budget require
ments to be put up to the law matters
ror their consideration, having lopped
off $842,311.56 so far. These figures are
based on a compilation by John Schroe-.
der. chief clerk of the committee.
These slashes leave only a little more
than $400,00 J more to be cut off to meet
the provisions of the 6 per cent limita
tion amendment and there is every in
dication that the committee will make
good on this task.
The main reduction made has been
the lopping off of the $680,000 which
the Industrial Accident Commission
estimated would be its share for state
aid during the next two years. The
committee is powerless to take such
action, unless the entire Legislature
makes a change in the law, but since
such a change has passed the Senate
and is now in the House, where it is
admitted to be completely smrrounded
by its friends, there is little danger of
the action of the -ways atid means com
mittee in this regard being defeated.
Normal School Warned.
The committee is also on record iD
establishing an important policy by de
claring in regard to the State Normal
School that "it is the sense of this
committee that no appropriation be
granted over and ' above that provided
for by the millage tax and that the in
stitution is to keep within the limi
tation." If this holds true with the State
Normal School it is likely to in connec
tion with the other higher educational
institutions which are supported on the
millage tax basis. At least an attempt
will be made to hold it good in such
cases.
The next heaviest reduction is that
of the State Fair, $30,000 being pruned
from the estimates of that institution.
The Normal is shaved off $24,441.56 to
bring it down to the $74,2S8.44, or mill
age tax bais. The Forestry Board is
hit by a reduction of $16,000, while the
institution for the feeble minded has
so far lost only $12,200 of the $345,700
appropriation sought in the budget
estimate.
Committee's Action Tabulated.
The tabulated history of the. com
mittee's action so far is appended:
IDAHO HAS NEW COUNTY
LII.L CREATING CLARK PASSED
BY LEGISLATURE.
Debate on Lewis State Xormal Ap
propriation BUI Features Ses
sion in the Rouse.
BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 25. (Special.)
The first county division bill creating
the 42d county in this state to receive
the approval of the 15th Idaho Legis
lature, was passed today. It is that
of Clark, and the new county
formed out of the western part of
Fremont County, with Dubois as the
county seat. ' The bill passed the Sen
ate some time ago. It was approved
by the House of Representatives by
a vote of 48 to 11 and sent to Governor
Davis for his signature. Although
there were a number of votes cast
against the bill, it was not fought on
the floor of the House.
The House session was featured by
Ihe debate on the Lewis State Normal
appropriation bill, carrying il50,00lr-to
be used to replace the administratibn
building of the normal, which was
ruined by fire, and was given the right
of way because of the emergency to get
building operations under way

DIRECT PRIMARY IN DOUBT
County Division Fights Disliked and
Act Is Planned to Put Ques
tion Up to Counties.
BOISE, Idaho. Jan. 25. (Special.)
The Fifteenth Idaho Legislature is now
in full swing, having closed its third
week, during which the machinery had
been well oiled. No time Is to be lost to
dispose of party and administration
measures. Party leaders are determined
that the programme will be adopted.
Prospects are excellent for the passage
of the administration State Department
consolidation measure, on which the
Republican party will make Its stand
during the next two years.
. No breach has occurred in the ranks
lad of the majority. Party harmony is evi
dent and there is a strong disposition
to stand solidly behind all caucus
agreements. Many of the leaders want a
40-day session.
In the amount of legislation passed by
both houses, the record is not great.
The Federal prohibition amendment
was ratified. This was followed by a
state-wide prohibition act which gave
the final knockout.
Suffrage Amendment Barked.
Woman suffrage next received con
sideration, both houses memoraliztng
the present Congress to back the Susan
B. Anthony amendment to the Federal
Constitution granting equal rights to
women. Both parties were pledged to
this also. One embarrassing feature to
many Republicans was the fact Senator

the introduction of the Nampa Courtly
division measure. Nampa is designated
the county seat of a county to be
formed from the southeastern part of
Canyon County, the southwestern por
tion of Ada County and the north
western part of Owyhee County. The
measure carries an enabling act.
Morgan of Washington attacked the
principle involved in acting separately
on institution bills. He said that the
new administration was face to face
with the extraordinary deficiencies of
the past administration, which have to
be met and a bigger demand than ever
for funds for the new administration.
Representative Moody, of Bonner
County, sharply interrupted Morgan to
pointedly suggest that he confine his
remarks to the bill under considera
tion and not to the past administra
tion. He explained that, under the
constitution, insurance money on state
institutions had to be paid back into
the general fund and that was why this
was done in the case of the Lewiston

Other activities of the Legislature In
the third week are summarized as fol
lows: Senate Passed first county division
hill of the session, introduced in the
upper house, seeking to create the
county of Clark, out of the western
portion of Fremont County; 'passed
House bill, which is the second mea
sure to be signed by Governor Davis,
accepting the revised codes; passed
House joint memorial to Congress urg
ing Government to adopt a constructive
policy In the reclamation of Idaho
lands; passed second county division
bill, a measure providing for
the creation of Jerome County out ofj
territory in Gooding. Lincoln and Min
idoka counties with Jerome as the
county seat; passed the "red flag"
bill making it a felony to display the
red flag of revolution and Bolshevism
in the state of Idaho; passed Senate
measure accepting the terms of the
Smith-Hughes vocational education
act; measure declaring places used for
gambling a nuisance, providing for
their closing and heavy fines against
owners; amending workmen's compen
sation act so as to exclude rural school
teachers.
IJIreet Prlmsry Knhimilim.
If ther is a real embarrassing ques
tion before the Legislature It is to be
found in the direct primary. When the
members of the t-..-o houses took their
seats a majority wanted to repeal the
law and go back to the old convention
system. .Many majority and minority
members would have so voted. They
are not so keen for repeal now. One
reason is that from a party standpoint
on both sides It is conceded It wouldv
not be good politics. A majority of the
electors In Idaho might resent having
taken away from them their right to
have something to say about who shall
be their candidates. The stronger
party leaders also are firmly convinced
that to go back to the old convention
system and its evils would be a step
backward and they are not anxious to
become retroactive.
The main rejison, however, was that
Governor Davis made It painfully plain
to the most ardent primary repeal ad
vo'-ates that if they parsed a repeal
act he promptly and unhesitatingly
would veto it. It is likely the amend
ments would abolish a statewide pri
mary, but leave a primary for county
officers and legislative candidates
Division Fights Disliked.
The majority of the Legislature hopes

Diseharged Soldiers Supplied With
Money and Many Positions
Await Workmen.
TACOMA. Wash.. Jan. 25. (Special.)
Statements of distress among dis
charged soldiers have been exaggerat
ed, think officers at Camp Lewis, for
they cannot conceive of men Just out
of service being as hard up as reports
from Portland and other cities would
Indicate. Furthermore, they Say, plenty
of work is to be had for men who want
it. Pessimistic reports, say the offi
cers, is affecting the morale of large
groups of soldiers still held at camp.
Men are paid their back wages and
3 cents a mile back to the place where
they were inducted. This in most cases
makes enough money to keep a soldier
in funds for some time, they say. If a '
man goes broke in towns as close as
Portland. -Tacoma. .or Seattle, they be
lieve that he must have wasted his
money;
Ab for lack of work, officers point
out that more than 1400 positions are
awaiting men in Idaho. Montana, Ore
gon. Utah and California, as well as
this state. More are being received
dally at the vocational department at
'amp Lewis. The trades listed Include
almost every possible occupation.
Shipbuilding Is now one of the great

try and the Shipping Board Is seeking
hundreds of men for labor and special

vary with the size of the ship.
