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

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

held June 3. 1919.
"Fifth To consider the question of
the ratification of the proposed wom
an's suffrage amendment to the con

" "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 STAMP SALES BIG
STATE LEADS FEDERAL RE
SERVE DISTRICT.
Many Residents Buy Securities for
Christinas Presents; Many
Limit Members Sought.
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.

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.
