Salem, Ore., Jan. 20. Under the
terms of a bill introduced, voters
( absent from their home precincts on
election day may. In accordance with
specific procedure, vote for presi
dential electors, state officers and
j constitutional amendments. It is as
serted that the measure is in the in
terest of traveling salesmen and oth
ers who find it impossible always to
be at home on election day. A cer
tificate system is contemplated, each
person who anticipates being absent
from his registration precinct on
election day being required to pro
cure in advance a certificate from
the election officials, then being per
mitted to vote wherever he may be,
on exhibiting it. This certificate,
duly indorsed and showing a vote
has been cast, must be returned to
the election officials of the voter's
home precinct, in order that he may
not return and also vote there. The
bill will be closely examined on the
suspicion that it may contain a joker
which would allow ballot stuffing,
though the author himself, having
no legal education, might not be
aware of the fact.

trait of Senator George E. Chamber

bent." Representative Weeks intro
duced a resolution in the bouse call
ing attention to the, fact that James
Wlthycombe Is now governor and di
recting Secretary of State Olcott to
chance the inscription to read "1902
1909." Since Senator Chamberlain
retired from the governorship the In
scription has remained under his por
trait and no one discovered the er
ror before.
FLAX TO CHANGE FISH
j AND GAME COMMISSION
Provision is made In a bill Intro
duced in. the house by Representative
Schuebel for the abolition of tbe
present State Fish and Game Com
mission, and the substitution there
for of a commission to consist of tbe
governor, master fish warden and
state game warden.
Authority is given the executive to
appoint both the master fish and
game wardens, and they are to serve

Is fixed at $1,800 a year. The ap
oplntment of deputy wardens Is vest
ed In the commission, and their sal

QUALIFICATIONS FOR
SCHOOL HEADS RAISED
The qualifications for county
school superintendents are increased
In a bill introduced In tbe house by
Representative Hlnkle. It provides

a person must have actively engaged
In teaching In the public schools for
not less than twenty-seven school
months, 12 of which shall have been
in this state, and that he must have
a diploma entitling him to teach In
any of the public schools of the state.
PLAN IS TO REPEAL
FREE TEXT-BOOK LAW
Because the free text-book law,
passed by the last legislature, permits
a school district to furnish free text
books to pupils in private as well as
public schoola, the judiciary commit
tee of the house has Introduced a bill
to repeal It. Representative Schue
bel, early In the session, introduced
a bill to amend the law so that books
could only be provided free to pupils
of the public schools. After consid
ering it the committee decided 'it
would precipitate a fight between
the pubHc and private schools in the
leglclature, and concluded it would
be wisest to vipe the law from the
statute books.

tery. A large number of friends and
relatives were present to pay their
last respects to one whom they had
learned to love for her many esti
mable good traits.
Mrs. Lydia Florence Hunt was
born near Monticello, Ind., and grew
to womanhood there. When she had
arrived at the age of 23 she was
united in marriage to Edgar B. Hunt
of the same city, and for a few years
they remained In that locality,' going
from there to the northeastern part
of the state, then to Utah, from there
to Idaho, and finally to Ashland, ar
riving here about nine years ago.
Mrs. Hunt, never a very robust
woman, had seemed to improve in
health since coming here until a few

do seemed to help her. She steadily
grew weaker until Tuesday morning,
when she passed away.
She leaves behind to mourn her
loss a husband, two sisters and two
sons. She also had one brother and
two half-brothers, one of whom is
living In Ashland.
Mrs. Hunt had, by her pleasant
ways and staunch Christian charac
ter, won many friends who will miss
her from their circle. She was a
faithful member and worker in the
Christian church and enedavored to
portray the character of the Christ
In her daily life.
