JITNEY BILL PROTESTED Proposal to Raise Salaries of OffI cers of Klamath Disapproved, Likewise Several Others. Continued From First Pap of such lines is commendable and proper and would meet with my ap proval. The drastic provisions of this act, together with an emergency clause, which would give auto bus line operators but few days' notice as to the revolutionary change in the status of their business, make the bill legislation of an undesirable character. "Senate bill No. 24 further proposes to give the public service commis sion authority to grant or refuse to grant, with or without hearing, a certificate of public necessity or con venience, and upon the securing of such certificate would depend the right of the automobile transporta tion line to operate. The bill would make possible, and in fact would prac tically make certain, the building up of a series of exclusive franchises over the public highways of the state. It would turn over to a select few the use of those highways which this state is expending millions to con struct the property -of another without Just com- I pensation being "first assessed' and tendered, and in addition to being in violation of the section herein quoted so savors of being an encroachment upon the rights of the individual ,a to be repugnant to our scheme of government." Senate bill 327 "This bill relates to the annual license fees paid by corporations and would change the present law so as to exempt from the payment of such license fees any corporation which ts maintaining- suits or actions to wind up Its affairs or collecting ae nients from its stockholders for such purpose. Ft 11 FoMlblllty Seen. "Such a bill might lead to numer ous abuses and work to the serious disadvantage of the state. It gives an opening for the practice of sub terfuge in avoiding the payment of Just corporation license fees and presents chances for possible evila which might be much greater than any condition which the proposed statute attempts to remedy." Senate bill 32b "This bill proposes to amend two of the most important sections of the code relating to the conveyance of real property. The author of the bill apparently overlooked the fact that throughout our code sections may be found which contain the word 'deed.' This statute might open numerous questions which would cast ciouuo oi doubt over long-accepted judicial decisions, with no apparently sun cient reason to sustain such a sweep ing change." , WKOFIIY UNDER DUELS I Denby and Roosevelt Are Barred From Warships.

"The public is entitled to protec tion from careless and Improper op eration of automobile transportation lines as well as from the carelessness of other common carriers, and proper regulation of rates, fares and charges no doubt is desirable. But this bill goes further. It opens the way to creation of monopolies, to possible prohibitive regulation. As the meas ure is drafted it is not in the interest of the public welfare, nor is it sound public policy to extend such plenary powers that legitimate business might be throttled in the interest of a fa vored few." Extracts from the veto messages of the governor as they affect other bills which met his disapproval today follow: Senate bill 157 "This bill provides for a change In the salaries of certain officers of Klamath county and provides for in creasing the salary of the county judge from $1500 to J2000 a year; for an increase in the salary of the school scssor from $1500 to $3000 a year, and an icrease in the salary of the school superintendent from IliOu to $2500 a year. I desire to call the particular attention of your honorable body to the provision which doubles the sal ary of the county assessor and. to me, makes the proposed salary for that otfice disproportionate with salaries for similar duties throughout tho at ate. Lift Declared Excenalve. As to the provision for the salary O the county assessor as referred to in this particular bill. 1 fully realize the importance of that office. It is one of the most important in any county as regards the welfare of the taxpayer. County assessors deserve just salaries, but in this particular instance, without the slightest re flection upon the particular assessor involved, 1 believe the increase pro vided for is disproportionate and rreater than warranted. I would have approved an increase "uf more modest proportions and would have . considered it well deserved. 1 regret tnat my veto to this bill must work a hardship on the other two officials involved." House bill 112 "The bill proposes to amend cer tain sections of the irrigation code. While the purposes of the amend ments in the main may seem good, fiey amend irrigation laws which have been carefully considered, while the amendments themselves seem to Le in some instances ill-considered rnd loosely drawn. As near as 1 can determine, their general effect might bei to open up to unnecessary litiga tion sections of the law now well de termined. " House bill 394 "1 herewith hand you house bill No. 394, with my approval of same except as rega.-ds the item therein appropriating J350 for payment ot the claim of Dr. William M. Camp bell for medical service's rendered the Oregon military police from April 11, 1918, to May 30, 1918, inclusive, which Item I veto under the governor's au thority of single item veto. Claim Held exorbitant. This claim is protested by the officer who was in command of the Oregon military police during the period of that organization's exist ence, and who should be most famil iar with the fiscal as well as other affairs of that organization. It is asserted that the claim is exorbitant and unjust. It being stated that the claim contains an overcharge ot $91.90. I am informed further that an offer of settlement was once made to the claimant in the amount of $250, which the head of the organiza tion considered ample return for the claim in question." Senate bill 5 "The purpose of this bill is to pre clude the public service commission from changing rates charged by pub lic utilities for furnishing heat, light, water and power to a municipal cor poration so as to conflict with the rates specified in any franchise or similar contract. "This bill would deprive the public service commission of one of its im portant functions. It would place a public utility in a more enviable posi tion than the private individual who is a domestic consumer of the utility's product. In Instances where the util ity, to secure its franchise, has con tracted to donate free service to the municipal corporation it leaves the domestic consumer to bear the entire charge for such service. The bill es tablished the principle that franchises granted many years ago under one set of conditions should stand for all time, regardless of the shifting changes brought about by the lapse of years without regard to public policy and the rights of the people at large." Owner's) Rights Imperiled. Senate bill 37S: 'This bill attempts to permit an Irrigation district in acquiring addi tional lands by condemnation pro ceedings, to enter upon such lands before the court has determined the amount of damages and costs to be assessed. An effort is made in the bill to protect the owner of the lands to be condemned by compelling the irrigation district in such case to file a bond to cover such damages and costs.

Washing ton was . smiling over the situation ti at arises in the appointment of Ed win Penby as secretary of the navy and. .Theodore Roosevelt as assistant secretary. " rhHpr'nn order Issued bv Secretary Onniels. rrowine -nnt nf a feud be- I tvreen the secretary and the navyldent, Uague, Mr. Denby and Mr. Roosevelt now are, barred from going aboard any ship of the big fleets which tney will control. Incidentally, some otne members of the cabinet are in, or, to rut it more accurately, are out of th same boat. A feud developed between Secretary Daniels and the navy :eague early after the war broke out in Europe, because Colonel Robert M. Thompson 'Aen president of the organization was very vigorous in his advocacy a policy by which the navy should be put into condition lor hostilities. came to a head over an explosion in the Mare Island navy-yard. State ments were given out from the nav league to the effect that Secretary Daniels was concealing the real cause of the explosion. Daniels Tries to Quell League, '. Whereupon, the secretary issued an erder, the intention of which was to put the navy league out of business The navy leasrue was conducting re lief and morale work in the navy, and Secretary Daniels prohibited the or ganizatlon from any contact with the officers and men of the navy. He ordered that any officer or member of the league should be forbidden to go aboard any vessel of the navy. De spite this abridgment of its privi leges, the navy league continued its work throughout the war and on March 4 will celebrate the end of the Daniels regime. Three other members ol the Hard Ing cabinet, including Justice Hughes', former Senaior Weeks r.nd Senator Fall, also are memoers of the league In fact, there was a report tnat the pjesident-elect is a memoer in good standing of the league, although tlw officers of the organis?tion at the r.eadauarters in this cuy refused to discuss the matter. It was known that the president-elect has been sneaker at meetings of the league. and on this account it was assumed that he is at least an honorary mem ber. Carlbao Also Placed Under Baa, Another organization, which' may edge into the limelight after Marcr 4, in the military order of Carlbao This society was put under the ban sj early in the Wilson alrniniitratiop that It may be well to describe it as matter of history. It :s composed Af officers and men who srved in tho Philippine insurrection. Up to the beginning of the Wilsou administra ion it held an annual waliow at Washington and Manila, on wtiich oc casion the hardships of tnis campaign were made the subject of many merry ests. Incidentally, it ws a field day for the lieutenants and former en isted men, when they wfe privileged to make light of the talent ct tho higher ranking officers in the army and navy and the ,headj or tue wa and navy departments. For Instance, just before one of the wallows," the then secretary of war, Taft. had made a speech in which he referred to the Filipinos, as our little brown brothers. v ith him as he honored guest at the Washington wallow" the Caribaos sang "He May Be a Brother of William H. Taft, but He Ain t No Brother of Mine." Mr. Taft led in the applause and laughter, as he realized the more he Caribaos liked a man the harder they roasted him. 'riffle" Teevra Peerless Leader. ' In the first "wallow," under the Wilson administration, the Caribaos prepared a more than usually elabo rate programme. Colonel William ennings Bryan, who was then secre tary of state, in one of his addresses ad declared that fellowship and love of other nations -would be a grei defense than battleships. Whereu the Caribaos produced a navy scene with miniature battleships. - When the battleship "Fellowship and Love" floated by. Colonel Bryan applauded vigorously. But when he saw that the flagship of the fleet had been named Piffle, his face bore the. same expression as it did on the nu merous occasions when the election returns indicated another defeat for the peerless one. The next day he was at the White House early and a reprimand for the committee on ar rangements was forthwith coming from the navy f.epartment. It is said that Secretary Daniels had al ready written a letter of congratula tions to the chief Carlbao when the order for a reprimand came from the White House. Celebrations to Be Revived. After this incident the military order of the Caribao was reported to have had some quiet little dinners, but there were no guests and noth ing given out for publication. The j rumor, was that they were solemn affairs at which fervid prayers were made for a change in the administra tion. Now that these prayers have been answered, it is believed that celebrations will be in order, and the annual "wallow" again will be one of the most enjoyable Washington entertainments. u loe navy league already ban an nounced that It intends to celebrate on the first day of the Harding ad ministration by a meeting and a din ner in Washington. Incidentally, il ill develon that the league's nresi- Colonel Henry Breckenridge, iormer assistant secretary of war under Wilson, has violated the Daniels order. He was commander of a regiment which went overseas, and as a consequence was. carried in warship and visited more than one navy yard contrary to the orders of secretary Daniels. RAINIER TO BE RENAMED eattie and Tacoma Expected to Accept Mount Lincoln. THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington. D. 0. Feb. 26. An agreement "out of court" between Seattle and Tacoma on the proposal to give the name of Mount Lincoln to the peak now known as Mount Rainier and Mount Tacoma, was thought to be in sight today. The United States geographic board has been requested by the Tacoma chamber of commerce to postpone ac tion until May, on a petition of the Grand Army of the Republic asking that the name of the mountain be changed to Mount Lincoln. The Tacoma chamber said in Its letter to the board that by a post ponement it might be possible to reach an agreement with Seattle in favor of renaming the mountain as sought by the grand army. The post ponement will be granted. MARINES GET TWO YEARS Raiders of Xlcaragna Paper Are Punished, Says Admiral. WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.
