tun In the decision of the house, upon
tb recommendation of the Multnomah
delegation. County Judas JU R. Webster
11 b deprived of whatever power and
uthorltv he heretofore baa held In the
administration of oountjr 'business, and
wlU be separated' from the board of
county commissioners and hla Jurisdic
tion limited to probate work alone. The
'Beat gun bill, together with much other
"Multnomah county legislation, pasted
the house last night .
: According to the term of tn,nw
bill, which - hag gone to the senate,
.Judge Webster Is to have no part n the
bualneaa administration of the county.
He la to be severed from all work that
' he lias done or waa planning; to do In
the construction of roads and highways
In the county; he will have no more
power or authority at the rock quarry
t Kelly Butt, no voice in the appoint
ment of any deputy sheriff or other
county of Dotal; be Is In fact to be
limited to the routine of the probata
',. court. ' ."'.'
The Beutgen measure ha been in
course of Incubation lor several months.
It creates one new county commissioner,
who will be named by the legislature on
. the recommendation of the Multnomah
delegation. It is the Intention of the
delegation to name some west side, man,
provided the senate pa"e the bill. -The
'appointee Is to hold office until after
the election In June, 108. and Is to be
7ths chairman of the board. - AH county
commissioners are to receive $7 a
month. .?
The proposition Is a political move dl
' reeled at Judge Webster and hi wing
of the Republican party In Multnomah
county. , Its real purpose I to deprive
. him of all patronage and deplete hla In
fluence as much as possible-. - It Is lso
one result ' of the old - feud between
Sheriff Btnven and Judge Webster, and
one step more toward the entire soo
. cess of the sheriff In securing every
thing he -want regards the entire
-elf-management and perquisites of hi
'office. ., , . 1
A matron for the county jail at a sal-:
ry of 190 a month was also provided
' In a bill passed at the night session,
' which wa largely beneficial to Multno
mah officials. The -county had It In
nings, and on the recommendation of the
delegation the house paased a bill rais
ing the salary of the county surveyor

Reconsider Vote by Which There
Will Be a Chance to Get

(By BUff Coiresri1nt.) '
Salem. Or.. Feb. 15 When It wa
fully realised by the member of the
senate that. they were likely to bar to
pay railroad fare to get home, as a re
sult of defeating the Freeman compul
sory pass bill, thereby making operative
the rigid anti-puss provision of the
Chapln commission bill, energetlo steps
were taken to change the objectionable
condition of affairs.
Home active work was done among
the senators who had voted sgalnat the
compulsory pass bill, and when the sen
ate oonvened In the afternoon enough
votes had been changed to reconsider
the vote of the morning and pas the
bill. ' . -
The Chapln bill bad been amended to
harmonise with the compulsory pasa
bill by excepting from Its restriction
-t-these public tmclula-ta.wliDinthe gtv-
Ing of passes should be required by
law. It was Intended that the roe men
bill should be the law which should
require the giving of passe to. public
officials. But when the Freemah bill
was defeated by. the senate it meant
that there would be no such law, and
that the legislators -would have to com
ply with the anti-pass clause of the
Chapln bill at once, which, because of
Its emergency clause, will become op
erative as soon as the governor sign
It. This would prohibit the legislators
from using passe they now bav to
get bom from Salem.
Th Freeman bill wa defeated at the
morning session by the vote of 11 to It,

against th bill were persuaded to vote
In favor of It: Caldwell, Johnson,

Haines.- Senator Nottingham, who was
absent when the bill waa voted on In th
morning,- Joined th force who were
working to secure the passage of th
measure; and th vote waa thu brought
up to 18. . r
Senator Johnson moved for th reoon.
slderatlon, which aroused the opposition
of Hedges,, who has been fighting th
compulsory pass bill all through th
session, He declared that th Freeman
bill wa unconstitutional. Immoral and
wrong. Senator Booth said that when
he first heard of tb Idea of compelling
the railroads to Issue free transporta
tion to public officials he thought It wa
a Joke, and was sorry that it waa not.

' (Br a atsff OorrespoaOeat.1
- Salem. Feb; If. Frank Freeman of
Multnomah nearly slipped a Joker into
I the state land code yesterday, and bad
liui iwtn lur me wul( nxuineas VI Diavt
Land Agent Oswald West, the amend
mont offered would have passed unno
ticed and th whole Intent of th new
land coda might have been' perverted.
Aa it was, the bill had to be called back
from th engrossing- committee and rec
tified. ' . .
Th Incident occurred when th land
cod was before th committee of the
whole. There waa no opposition to th
code a presented, until section $5 waa
reached. . when Freeman Offered
amendment to the -provision that where
persona have purchased lands on fraud
ulent certificate or forged applications,
Ignorant of th nature of the prior
transaction, the board might either re
fund .the money paid or Issue deed to
the land. Freeman pffered th follow
ing amendment:
- "Said board may (shall) en full oom
pllanc by said Innocent bolder with the
law. Including full payment of purchase
price and surrender of said certificate
and assignment thereof to aald board.
Issue to the said Innocent certificate
holder a deed from th atat for tb
land Included In aald certlflcat aa pro
vided by" law. -
Freeman attacked tb governor and
tb land board In defending hi amend
ment. He aald that under th provision
of the law as it waa intended tbe power
of refunding was discretionary." Cham
berlain, he said, had voted to issue cer
tificates and deede? to some Innocent
purchaser and had by the earn token
refused them to others Just as aeserv
Ing. He had discriminated, h said.
McCua opposed, saying it would make
It mandatory upon th board to refund
all money paid or Issue deed and would
give them no discretion. - ?
The amendment waa lost. ' Freeman
then asked that b might change th
word "shell" to "majr." thu making it
discretionary, and attach the amend
ment to the and of the section. Th
hous consented to thl and ' Freeman
cent the amendment to th desk. II ex
plained that th lnteat of hla clause waa
to giv th board power to return either
gnoney or land If It deemed th bolder
of, fraudulent certificate entitled to
th treatment. A soon aa th amend
ment was adopted and Incorporated In
th bill by vote of the house. Freeman
went to th desk, and told th dark to
retain the word "shall. " which wa atlll
on th paper sent up by bbm, contrary
to th Intention and expectation of the
house. Th amendment went to th en
grossing committee, where West found
It-and had th bill brought back to tb
hous for correction. -
Th amendment offered by Freeman
la the first Instance was ' In tin with
the bill offered by him In th Interest
of a wealthy, family of Portland, and
th effect ef th amendment would havri
been to place command upon tb state
land board to pay not only that par
ticular elalm. ttut hundreds of other.
' Th bill finally paaaed, with no nega
tive otea. - . .. .
