PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle,
ash., Jan. 28. A new plan to bring
urlt direct to Seattle and western
ashington, announced after a con
rence at the Seattle chamber of
mmerce last Thursday, will be
udied with some degree of Interest
- those- who have hitherto believed
at the Pacific Northwest Tourist
.sociation was serving the same and
ner useful purposes. And when
ention Is made of the Pacific North-
et Tourist association it must be
membered that every taxpaying
tlien In Oregon, Washington and
itlsh Columbia has a direct interest
Its activities, past and present.
ics the two states and the province
-ve contributed substantially to the
sociatlon's support out of moneys
ised by taxation.
Interest in any plan that may be
ely to disturb or dislocate the
ill-defined efforts of the tourist as
clatjon must, therefore, be general
d widespread throughout the re-
on that the association has been
aetd to designate as "The Na
m's Playground," and to which an
nrually Increasing number of tour
s has been attracted ever since the
aooiatioa got its work well under
iy.
Independent Haven Set I p.
The recent Seattle conference, c-
rding to the published annourvce
nt of Its purposes, will set up an
impendent haven for tourists, con-
ting of western Washington alone,
ere is no open dispute of the geo-
aphlo fact that, unless the tourist
mas by sea, he must pass through
me portion of eastern Washington,
egon or British Columbia to get
to this desirable haven; but the
:rlt of the new programme indi
tes the wish to keep the tourist
m looking either to the riarht or
8 left until within rniiffln distance
western Washington tidewater.
Well down toward the bottom of
programme provision Is made for
mmittees of five each, the one to
It Portland and the other to go to

PUGET SOUND BUREAU. Belling-
m. Wash., Jan. 2S. Except for the
asures of social Intercourse, the
etlng of friend witn friend and the

law. the annual convention in this

sprung" for which the public mind
hud not been fully prepared.
For example it was known that the
sheriffs would condemn the poll-tax
law. They have to make the. effort
o collect the tax from persons who
do not pay willingly. It's a burden
and a nuisance, they said.
It. was known that the sheriffs
would criticize the state supreme
court for Its decision in the Oibbons
case forbidding search'or arrest with
out warrant and disqualifying liquor
so seized for use as evidence. It had
been made clear, from practically
every county In the state, that the
sheriffs felt that they could not func-
:on effectually under such restraint.
It was known that the sheriffs
would denounce the lax .adminlstra-
on of the parole system. So long as
most of the criminals with whom they
have to deil are persons out on pa
role or under suspended sentence, the
sheriffs thought they had good reason
to complain.
It was known that the snerirrs
would deplore the Increasing criminal
endencies among the young, ana
would attribute some measure of en
couragement In this respect to the
cnlency of juvenile courts and pro
bation officers.
The sheriffs' convention ran true
form in all these matters and as to
others of less importance. The circu
lation of a questionnaire would nave
produced an identical record of re-
ults.
But. aside from the serious business
of the convention, the sherirts naa a
ecod time. So did everyone who was
privileged to attend their meetings.
There was something doing every
minute up to the convention's close
Wednesday night, and then followed a
erfect Thursday at Vancouver, a. c.

cers as hosts, and happy surcease

CITY HALL QUESTION UP
Voters to Bo Asked for Use of
$18,000 for New Huilding.
ALBANY, Or., Jan. 28. (Speolal.)
Plans for the erection of a city hall
in Albany have taken concrete form
In that the city council has arranged
to submit to the voters in a special
election to be held in connection with
the primaries next May a measure,
whiich will, if adopted, clear the way
for this improvement.
Several years ago the city voted
$40,000 bonds for the purohase of a
site and the erection of a city hall.
The city then bought a block just
east of the Linn county courthouse
then occupied by a public school build
in r. Later plans were chnng'ed and
this block was converted into Takenah
park.
The purcnase price or mis diock
wes 22.0O0. Thus $18,000 worth of j
the bonds author.zed were never sold
or the money used. The measure to
be submitted will authorize the use
of this money In building a city hall
at another location.

IXSTRl'CTIOjr IN IfAlVDMNO SPRINKLING SYSTEMS. WHICH IS
HI KIHK t'HIKF VOlMi TO SAVE
LESS DAMAGE BY WATER
AIM OF CHIEF YOCXG.
IS
Systems Declared Great Aid
Fighting Blazes, but Are
Little Understood.
Excess damage from water In
buildings where sprinkling systems
are In operation and the means of
preventing such water damage, were
the main points In a course conducted
last week for Portland firemen in
the central office of the American
District Telegraph company In the
Lumbermen's building. The course
was arranged by John E. Young,
chief of the Portland' fire bureau.
Believing that firemen can save
thousands of dollars to buildings and
stocks through a more familiar
knowledge of the sprinkler systems
and the shut-off valves in all build
ings In the city. Chief Young selected
two groups of firemen and detailed
them for Instruction.
According to Chief Young, to all
Intents and purposes, sprinklers will
take care of practically all fires In
their infancy, except fires caused by
explosions. While the sprinklers may
not prevent fires, they will minimize
the damage and start fighting the
blaze as quickly as the fuses are af
fected by the high temperature, he
added.
The shutting off of, the sprinkler
heads and the draining of the sys
tem is a vitally Important part of
the firemen's work and for that rea
son the instruction was arranged.
The Information will be( spread
throughout the fire department in
the course of the next few weeks,
according to Chief Young.

LEGISLATIVE REAPPORTION
MENT BILL REDRAFTED.
Senator Palmer to Proceed 'With
Plan Despite Hostility Shown
in Eastern Washington.
PUGET SOUND BUREAU. Seattle,
Wash.. Jan. iS. E. B. Palmer of
Seattle, state senator, whose purpose,
as previously reported. Is to seek leg
islative reapportionment of the state
of Washington, by means of the ini
tiative, will proceed with his plan in
spite of the hostility already man
tested in some parts of eastern Wash
ington and of any other opposition
that may declare itself.
Senator Palmer today expressed
himself as unable to understand how
any man familiar with the law can
honestly contend for continued dis
regard of the mandatory provision in
the state constitution requiring re
apportionment at the first legislative
session following each federal cen
sus. He insists that representation
in proportion to population is funda
mental in the American form of gov
ernment; that it is not merely the
locality that Is entitled to represena
tion. but the people who live in ne
various localities; and that the only
way they can be adequately repre-

cess of constitutional provisions is,
he Bays, beyond his understanding.
At the 1921 session of the state
legislature. Senator Palmer intro
duced a reapportionment measure
that had been drafted by himself and
Arch Fuller, a lawyer of Seattle. It
perished in committee. The bill to
be submitted by the Initiative, al
ready reviewed in The Oregonian, is
substantially along the same lines as
the earlier bill, Mr. Fuller again co
operating In the draft. In response
to some of the arguments already
advanced against the effort, a state
ment was today prepared by Mr. Ful
ler and approved by Senator Palmer,
as follows:
Th6 sponsors of the legislative reappor
tionment Initiative do not anticipate help
Irom the members of the legislature who
come from districts at present overrepre
ented. Some few there are who are fair
enough and honest enough to take nerloua
ly thtir oath to uphold the constitution,
which makes reapportionment mandatory;
but the vast majority refuse to legislate
themselvea out of office no legislators
ever have, voluntarily. Back near the be
ginning of our federal government we read
of Thomas Jefferaun vindicating VV ashing,
ton'a veto of the federal apportionment of
1790, aayirw: "No evasions of the consti
tution are so fun dswrien tally dangerous as
the tricks played by legislators on their
own members in making new apportion
ments which affect their U-al qualifica
tions to k Lai ate for the union."
AJmo every other state has had to
contend with tbia sajne problem at on
time or another, and if we had to depend
on our legislature to act, it would prob
ably grow worse instead of better. We
htave reached a condition now where a
senator and two representatives in one
district represent 111,683 people, and an
other sen-ator and two other rerpresen ta
li ves in another district represent only
11.6J5 people (more than loo.woo dif
ference; a condition where three senators
represent 21,ho0 more people than 14
other senators, and where six represen
tatives represent 9792 more people than
86 other representatives; where a per
son's vote in Yakim county ia worth less
than one-tenth that of another person who
resides in Jefferson county when It comes
to electimg representative to the Jegis
lature; and the vote of a resident of
Hk a mania county counts mo-re toward
electing mean bers to the fogtflitanure than
3 votes in the district in which the stats
university la located.
But, fortunateJy. with an initiative meas
ure we can go directly to the people, and
we are relying on the spirit of fair play
and of justice and our belief in our gov
ment's basic principle of equal representa
ttion, all of which are so der to our citi
sena A continued government by minority
cannot proapr. Governor Kiers vetoed
the present apportionment act (which wa
pawed over nis veto) and he spoke true
when he said: "The apportionment made
gives certain parts and portions of the
state undue advantage and reetrints nihm-i

ine reapportionment bill Is not a King
county measure; other distrirts. notably
Yakima county and Kitsap county, do not
at the present time have half the rern-e-
sentation to which they are entitled. Under
tne new Diil all portions of the state will
be equally represented, and the state as
a wnoie win oe benefited, for it is con
structive legislation to -rtduce taxes. The
new bill wild reduce the house to t3 mem
bers and the senate to 21 cutting the en
tire legislative body 55 members, or from
13U to K4, practically a 4u per cent reduc
tion.
we figure that not only will there be a
saving of the expense of legislator and
clerk aalariea. but that the reduced house
and sen at e w i li be a ble to arc otn p I ish

at the present and that allowing for a
minimum amount of "pork." the reduc
tion of 40 per cent of same wiii be a very
considerable saving.
Damage Suit Involves $41,073.25.
Suit for 141,073.25 damages was
filed by Paul C. Bates against the
Oregon American Lumber company in
the United States district court yes
terday. The complaint charges that
the company entered into a contract
with the plaintiff to sell timber lands
In Clatsop county. The contract was
broken, the complaint alleges, when
the Kerry Timber company purchased
the property for a consideration of
$521,465 and failed to give Mr. Bates
XAa commission.
Money Stolen From School.
ASTORIA. Or., Jan. 28. (Special.)
Some one entered the Central school
building last night and stole $45 from
the principal's desk. The money was
the proceeds of several of a series
of moving pictures being shown at
the school this winter in connection
with the work of the Institution, the
pupils contributing 25 cents each
toward the expense of showing the
films.

SALEM, Or., Jan. 28. (Special.)
Enactment of a law extending to
magistrates and the secretary of
state authority to revoke the oper
ator's or chauffeur's license of any
person who. on competent evidence, is
adjudged an habitual user of nar
cotic drugs, will be recommended to
the next session of the legislature,
according to a report completed here
today by T. A. Raffety. chief inspec
tor for the state motor vehicle de
partment. Recommendations also will be made
to the present legislature that the
preasnt law be so amended "that a
part of the fines collected by coun
ties from traffic Violators shall re
vert to the state and be used to de
fray the expense of the law enforce
ment work. Under , the present sys
tem, Mr. Rafferty set out in his re
port, money collected from traffic
law violators goes into the coffers of
the various counties, while the state
expends large sums In enforcing the
laws and receives nothing in return.
Loadometera Put Into le.
"When the loadometers first were
placed In the field." said the report,
"an effort was made to work them
not to exceed two or three days in
uny particular community. By this
plan it was desired to show their op
eration In every section of the state
where the excessive load might be
the most destructive.
'From July 24 to August St. one
set of loadometers was in the field,
covering practically all territory
where overloading seemed most likely
to exist to a marked degree.
"During September 611 trucks were
inspected by the two loadometer
crews. Of this number. 192 were
weighed and 34 found to be overload
ed, with the average overload weight
reduced to or in the neighborhood of
750 pounds, as against 1180 pounds
noted the previous month. In Sep
tember nine cases were filed in courts
uKtiiuai irutu arivers exceeaing tne
speed limits. In October 16 days were
devoted to loadometer work, with 234
trucks inspected. Of this number, 164
were weighed and 30 reported as
overloaded.
"During November and December
151 trucks were weighed and 21 found
tu be overloaded.
"The cost of all equipment neces
sary In the enfofcement work, includ
ing motor vehicles, motorcycles, side
cars, loadometers, etc., amounted to
$8908.80. The salary and expenses of
the force, including repairs to equip
ment and all operating expenses, was
$16,643.56, or a total expenditure of
$25,552.36. Practically all equipment
is new and should, with very little ex
pense, be serviceable for at least two
years.
State Makes Good Profits.
"In this report it is observed that
delinquent license fees collected b
the inspectors total $11,955.75 and
fines imposed by the courts on viola
tors brought before them by the. in
spectors amount to $10,933.95 To
these two items add $7,127.04, the
present value of equipment on hand,
and It will b found that the net
profit to the state from its force ot
inspectors Is In excess of IS per cent,
without giving consideration to the
saving In highway maintenance ex
pense.
"Your attention is further directed
to the fact that stolen motor vehicles
to the value of $10,545 have been re
covered by the inspectors and in no
single instance has any inspector ac
cented a reward for this service. The
average fines imposed by courts upon
violators of the motor vehicle law
brought before them by inspectors
from the department was $13.66.
Interstate - Conferences Held.
"Three conferences of Interstate
importance affecting the operation of
motor vehicles have been attended by
the chief Inspector of your depart
ment during the year. A conference
at Portland was also attended, at
which representatives of the state
department of Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and Utah met to consider some !
uniform method of approving me
chanical and electrical signaling de
vices for motor vehicles. As a result
of this conference the- merits of any
signal device will be passed upon fy
all four states before approval is
granted by either. .

T,A GRANDE. Or.. Jan. 28. (Spe
cial.) The daily train between here
and Joseph, on the Wallowa county
branch of the O.-W. R. & N., will be
discontinued temporarily Sundays,
beginning tomorrow, until further
notice, according to C. P. Van de
Water, district freight and passenger
agent. The explanation offered by Mr. Van
de Water for this change is that the
railroad company finds It necessary
to economize as much as possible and
the falling off of business makes it
desirable to discontinue Sunday serv
ice. He said that while it is not
possible to make any promises re
garding the return to the seven-day
schedule, he hoped thnt before the
fishing season opens his company
again would be able to give service
on Sundays.

Frank Martin, cx-Attorney-Gcner-al,
and Senator Vanlloessen
Both Have Strong Backing.
BOISE, Idaho. Jan. 28. (Special.)
There crystallized this week, as a re
sult of the maneuvering on the part
of political chiefs within the ranks
of the democratic party, a certain
concrete thing that has an Important
bearing on the situation within that
party. This Is: Will H. Hornibrook,
ex-United States minister to Slam,
a well-known newspaper man of three
states Idaho, Oregon and Washing
ton for business reasons will not
permit himself to be looked upon
either as a receptive or prospective
candidate for the nomination of gov
ernor. He prefers to confine his un
divided efforts to his business, that
of bonds, abstracts and loaning,
rather than to submerge that business
for a poLitical career at this time.
Probably that announcement would
not be so significant if it did not have
a background and It is this back
ground that will be set forth, for It
has an important bearing on what
is going on within the democratic,
party of this state. Mr. Hornibrook
was one of the bert if not the best
bet that the democratic party in
Idaho had for gubernatorial timber.
It Is said that Mr. Hornibrook could
get the nomination if he were wilting
to enter the political arena.
Democrats Seek Candidate.

have been endeavoring to find the
right man who would be willing to
become the party's standard bearer
In the next campaign. The leaders
have been in frequent conference.
They have "sounded" out prospective
gubernatorial timber. They believe
that if all factions can agree upon
some one man within the party he
can be elected governor at the next ,
general election because or tre loom
ing taxation issue and the demand 1
on the part of the people that the '
expenses of state and county be cut '
to the bone. The democrats are pre-
paring to go Deiore ine people wun
a definite and concrete programme
which they believe meets with the
approval of the maJorlty,of the voters
regardless of their political faith. To
