8 TITE SUNDAY OEEGOMAX. POETLAXD. "DECEMBER 14; 1919. 1EGI3LATIVE SESSION CALLED BY DLCOTT Governor Issues Formal Proc lamation to Solons. "DEATH PENALTY IS TOPIC believed to represent that of the old Irish party. It-says: 1 'The scheme proposes partition in its worst form, and it insures the grip of the bankrupt wastrels of Whitehall on the solvent Irish purse. The authors know the fate that awaits the scheme. It has two purposes,- to throw crust in the eyes of America and to enable the home rule act to be scrapped. The scrapping was decided on long before the com mittee was constituted or even con templated. But in the uncertainty of affairs at Washington the scrapping has to be done under careful cover and under pretense of offering a set tlement on much more generous terms than have ever been proposed before. The generosity can be meas- I UlIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllilllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIllllillillllllllllllllllllli: SuTf rage. Workmen's Compensa tion.

Without making any suggestions, other than setting out the Ave sub jects of legislation which he desires conHinered. Governor Olcott today 1s . Viued a formal proclamation calling 11 both branches of the Oregon legisla - ture into special session in Salem on " Monday, January 12, at 10:30 o'clock A. M. -m It has been intimated here that the "' executive would take occasion in his proclamation to urge the legislators " to confine their work to consideration of only those items of legislation con : tained in the call, but this will be " taken up by the governor, it is eaid, in his message to be delivered at a .'-joint assembly of the two houses on ' the opening of the special session. Klve Measure Cited. T.fsiKlation suggested in the gov ernor's proclamation includes an amendment to the workmen's com pensation act by increasing the rates I'ald to injured workmen from the in dustrial accident fund, appropriation (. of money necessary properly to carry Miit the provisions of the soldiers' sailors' and marines' educational financial aid law and provision of funds to cover such liabilities as have been authorized by the state emer-v-.acnev board during the year 1919. "('onsideration of the advisability of submitting to the voters the question of restoring the death penalty in Ore gon, consideration of the question of. ratifying the proposed women's suf frage amendment to the federal con stitution and consideration of legis lation necessary to supplement and Gurry out the provisions of what is JvTionn as the "state bond payment of 'irrigation and drainage bond interest constitutional amendment." I.egiMlntorn Are Called. '" The governor's proclamation reads: "I. Ben W. Olcott, by virtue of the authority in me vested as governor of the state of Oregon, do hereby direct the two houses of the legislative assembly of the state of Oregon to convene in special session in the state capitol, in Salem, on Monday; the 12th day of January, A. D. 1920, at 10:30 o'clock A. M. of said day, for the fol lowing purposes: "First To amend the workmen's compensation act by increasing the rates paid to -injured workmen from the industrial accident fund .and thus alleviate suffering and hardships en dured by such workmen. "Second To appropriate money nec essary to properly carry out the pro visions of the act known as the sol diers', sailors' ad marines' educational financial aid act, adopted by a vote of the people at the special election held June 3, 1919, and to further appropri ate money to cover such other lia- j'ilities as have been authorized by the state emergency board during the .-.year of 1919. . "Third To consider the advisability of submitting to the voters of Oregon ''the question of the restoration of capital punishment. "Fourth To consider legislation necessary to supplement and carry out the provisions of the constitu tional amendment known as the state bond payment of irrigation and drain age district bond interest constitu tional amendment, adopted by a vote of the people at the special election held June 3. 1919. "Fifth To consider the question of the ratification of the proposed wom an's suffrage amendment to the con stitution of the I'nited States of A m erica. " "All members of the house and sen ate of the state of Oregon, who at tlie date hereinbefore mentioned are entitled to act as members of said legislative assembly, are hereby re quired to take notice and attend such special legislative session. "Given under my hand and the great seal of the state of Oregon, at the capitol in Salem, this 13th day of De cember, A. I. 1919." lleathn CllliNe Two Ynt-unt-ien. Seyhour Jones speaker of the house, who was here today said that the organization of both houses proh. ably would be same as at the last regular session of the legislature. In cases where representatives or sena tors have died since the last session their offices will remain vacant until the next election. There are only two instances of this kind, however, in cluding Walter Rimick. senator from t'lackamas county, and J. R. Stan- tiard of Curry county. Mr. Stan dard died while en route to Salem to attend the last legislative assembly. Mr. Stannard was succeeded by tlcorge Chenoweth, wlio was appoint, ed to a seat in the house during the last session without power of vote. Mr. Chenoweth afterward was ar rested on a charge of murder in Cur ry county and upon being acquitted was committed to the state hospital for the insane here. He is still con fined in the institution. Although there has been consider ' able talk here that the session may continue as long as two weeks, this is not taken seriously by legislators visiting the capital during the past few days. These men are of the opinion that most of the proposed legislation will havr consideration prior to the convening of the ses '. sion and that the several amend. ments and new measures suggested ty the governor will be disposed of without prolonged discussion. Letters and personal messages re 1 reived at the capitol indicate that a decided stand will be taken by many .legislators against consideration of any legislation other than that which is absolutely necessary for the wel fare of the state.

Oregon leads in the twelfth federal reserve district in the sales of war saving-s and treasury certificates and also leads all states in the nation with exception of Ohia. However, if the sub. script ions are heavy during the re maining portion of December, there is said to be a good chance for Ore gon again to lead the nation in the sale of these government securities. This was the message received yes terday by Harry G. Allen, president ot the Oregon State Klks' association, w ho is directing the stamp sale cam paign, from Kobert E. Smith, director ot the war loan organization for the twelfth federal reserve district. In the message received yesterday by Air. Allen, the information comes that an intensified campaign is being waged throughout California in an effort to be the leader in the twelfth district. The campaign in the south ern state is being conducted to gain limit members, as is being done in Oregon, and in addit;". many of the residents of the state are buying the stamps and certificates to be used as Christmas gifts. A committee of the Portland lodge are working valiantly, to sell as many limit members as possible. In addition to the limit subscribers the weekiy report shows that a large number of persons have . purchased $500 of the securities. bt?l Poptl The Zest of Appetite belongs to the one who eats with congenial companions, in pleasant surroundings, of food well-cooked and daintily served.

Mother Lawrence Appeals to Peo ple of Portland to Raise $4000 to Carry On Work of Mercy. Storm conditions have made it im possible for Mrs. Hattie B. Lawrence, tjetter known as "Mother Lawrence," tc make the usual rounds in her cam paign for funds to maintain the AVoodmere Old People's home, which is conducted under her direction. Mrs. Lawrence recently obtained permis sion from the city council to solicit funds for this work. "It is impossible for me to get around in the campaign, and I have no solicitors to do the work," said Mrs. Lawrence yesterday. "We have been forced to add another cottage to the home, which makes added work. During the war, as many know. T took in mothers of soldiers who had no means of support. I did this at the solicitation of the Red Cross. Many of these mothers are still at the home and must be cared for. The Red Cross recently urged me to install a heating plant, and I trust the people of Portland will sub scribe sufficient money so that I may be able to do so." Mis. Lawrence is endeavoring to raise $3000 for general expenses and $1000 for a heating plant. At the present time there are about 40 old people cared for at this and the Pis gah home, which is also operated by "Mother" Lawrence. "Mrs. Lawrence requests donations mailed to her. and also asks that wherever possible the donations be larger than those of last year, be cause of the increased cost of supplies and food and the added number of people in the home.
