TITE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND. DECEMBER 17, ,1922 7 GHANGE IN SESSION OF LEGISLATURE AIM Sixty-Day Meeting Every 4 Years is Proposed. VOTERS' ACTION NEEDED Author of Measure Holds That $10,000 Annually Would Be Saved by State. SALEM, Or., Dec. 16. (Specials Amendment of the state constitu tion o as to provide for a 60 days' cession of the legislature every four years instead of a 40 days' session every two years, as at the present time, is proposed in a resolution that Is now being prepared for sub mission to th,e lawmakers when they assemble here January 8. In case the resolution is approved by the legislature, the proposal to amend the constitution will be re ferred to the voters of the state at the next general election. Under the provisions of the resolution the 60-day session of the legislature shall start in January, 1925, and continue every four years there after. In event of emergency, the governor will be authorized to call a special, session of the legislature at any time, as provided by the present constitution. CoMtN Are Investigated. The author of the resolution, in a statement riven out today, said that he hail investigated the cost of the legislative sessions and had found them to be expensive to the taxpayers. By holding these legis lative sessions overy four years in stead of every two years, a large amount of money would be saved, he said. Statistics assembled in the office of the secretary of state, which will be included in the argument for a reduction in the number of legis lative sessions, showed that the 1921 legislative assembly cost the taxpayers of Oregon a ; total of $110,541.07. The salaries of the legislators, in cluding the members of both houses, aggregated $10,800. Of this amount, $3600 went to pay the members of the senate, while $7000 covered the salaries of the representatives. The mileage of the senators totaled $1413. while the mileage of the rep resentatives aggregated $2356.55. Semite Pnj-roll 21,094. Eighty-five clerks- and stenog raphers employed in the senate re ceived $21,094.50, while 109 clerks and stenographers in the house re ceived $25,037.50. Add'tional janitors employed in the various departments occupied by the legislature cost the state $4977.88. The following summary based on statistics obtained from the records of the state department are indica tive of the expenses of the 1921 legislative session: Senators' salaries $ 3.600.00 Representatives' salaries 7,200.00 Senators' mileage i,413.or Representatives' mileage ll,35(i.."."i Senate clerks and stenographers 21,094.30 House clerks and stenographers. 25,037.50 Kxtra janitors, etc 4,077.88 Special investigations l,273.9ti Legal advisers to governor .... 500.00 Supply clerks, etc., state dept. . . 1,308.71 Correcting house journals . . . 075.00 Correcting senate journals .... . 850.00 Newspapers for members 302.90 Postages express, telegrams and telephone 2,754.00 Stationery, codes, etc 5,205.01 Typewriter rentals 1.135.25 Janitors' supplies 2,794.97 ZUiscellaneous 1,990.19 Transportation, etc., of gun' . .. 239.11 Kngravlng, etc., invitations .... 108.50 Office rent 1U2.50 Compiling, proofreading.editing and indexing laws and jour nals 1,427.85 Printing session laws 4.610.00 Binding session laws 2,800.50 Printing journals 1,1H583 Binding journals 480.00 Bills, calendars, etc., printing.. 14.700.00 Total $110,641.07 Inorfaae Are Shown. Going back for a period of 20 years the statistics show that the expenses of each succeeding session of the legislature have increased This would indicate that the amount of $110,000, which was the cost of holding the 1921 session of the law makers, will not cover the expenses of the assembly which convenes here next month. Based on the averages of increase, it was pre dicted that the 1923 session of the legislature will cost the taxpayers of the state not less than $120,000. Besides the actual cost to the state of holding legislative sessions many of the state departments are disturbed, with the result that their costs of operation are increased. In some departments this increase amounted to several hundred dollars in the 40 days. Under the proposal to hold the legislative sessions only once in four years, the saving to the taxpayers would aggregate $40,000 annually, the author of the resolution said.

Gasco Building FUNDS TAKEN FOR WIFE BANKER, UNABLE TO BE FATHER, -GIVES PRESENTS. $51,000 Embezzled in Effort to Gratify Wishes of Mate; Leniency Asked. Bv Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) NEW YORK, Dec 16. Max W. Hensel, former manager of the Har lem branch of the Corn Exchange bank, appropriated J51.000 from the bank's funds In an attempt to com pensate his wife for the fact that he could not be a father. This was revealed in court Friday by his counsel, in a long plea for leniency. Hensel was sentenced to the peni tentiary for from six months to three years. The branch bank manager ad mitted taking J51.912 in all, and made restitution of about $24,000, partly in real property and jewelry he had bought for his wife. He was a trusted employe of the bank and hia thefts ran over several years. "He married, and discovered that he could not become a father," said the lawyer. "From then on he suf fered a morbid fear of losing his wife's affections. In order to as sure retention of her love he en deavored to compensate her for the distress which he knew she was suffering. He tried to anticipate her every wish and to gratify it. In order to do this he increased th amount of the shortage on the bank's books, caused by a former honest mistake." Dr. Smith Ely Jelliffe, the alien ist, who examined Hensel before he pleaded, said that while the man knew the nature of the act of theft, It "was undeniably caused by an unconscious compulsion, the result of a diseased, type of compensatory reaction of an organic inferiority." $18,000 Damages Are Granted.

Which speaks volumes for the values in the sale for the prosperity of the city and, incidentally, is highly complimentary to the F. Friedlander Company.
