Besolution, Signed by Lead
ing -Knights of lltythias
Throughout State, Pro
vide for Erection of Hand
some Building Here.
The establishment of permanent
headquarters for the grand lodge.
Knights of Pythias, by the erection
ot a handsome, building In Portland,
Is the object of a resolution drawn
up by M. F. Davis ot Union. Oregon,
a past grand chancellor of the or
der. This resolution Is signed by
the leading representatives of the
lodge throughout the state and will
be presented for adoption this after
noon at the final session of the grand
lodge. That it will undoubtedly be
adopted Is the general opinion ot
the delegates.
The resolution calls for the erec
tion of a modern headquarters build
ing in this city, to be paid for by
the setting aside annually of 10 per
cent of the yearly revenues of the
grand lodge. This fund is to be
used as a nucleus and is to be in
vested until 'enough money Is ac
cumulated to warrant the building
of the new headcjuarters. It is
thought by the promoters of the
scheme that this plan would Insure
such a building for this city within
the next few years.
Another resolution that will come
up this afternoon Is that Introduced
by H. M. Cake providing for the
erection of a home for the aged and
indigent of the order. This is not
favored by the majority ot the
knights of the grand lodge and will
In all probability be voted down.
Krrlalnf Ooastitatloa.
Ths convention 1b still occupied with
the task of revising' the constitution to
conform to the supreme lodge require
ment. It la expected that this ardu
ous work' will be finished today.
Another resolution that met with de
feat before the grand lodge was one to
establish a state lodge for members of
subordinate lodges throughout the
state that may at any time become de-
funct. It was decided to continue the
present system In such cases. I
The Pendleton delegation are enthus
iastic in their praise of the Portland
people who helped them secure the next
grand lodge convention at the eastern
reg-on metropolis. An article In one
of the daily papers stated that there
had been a contest between Pendleton
nilU rui uniiu . . . v .-. . ----- 1
This Is not so. The Pendleton peoplef
were tided In their efforts to get me
grand lodge by local delegates.
This afternoon the Rainier team will
put on their drill In the third rank for
the 1100 prise offered bv the grand
lodge. The Portland team will also
compete today.
Install Kew Officers.
The new officers elected day before
yesterday by the grand lodge will be
Installed this afternoon at the close
of the business session.
All th visiting delegates are highly
pleased at Wielr reception this year by
the Portland lodge. The visitors have
bten entertained hospitably and their
stay here made pleasant bv the cour
teous attentions of the reception com
mittee find the Individual members of
the lodge.
The success of the banquet given
last night at the Commercial club Is
attributed to the management of Sec
retary John M. Mann. A 10-course
spread was followed by the Initiation of
more than 80 new members Into the
amusement branch of the order. Dur
ing the banquet the following men re
sponded to the toasts named by Toast
master Judge W. I Bradshaw of The

STATUTES OF OREGON
IN TERRIBLE TANGLE
State1 Commission Made Up of Able Lawyers of. the State
Proposed to Put Bills in Proper Shape Before .
Presentation to . the Legislature. r
A state commission for the exam'
lnatlon, shaping and revision ot
law composed of some five or seven
of the able lawyers ot the state
this is one more of the dreams ot
legislation taking tangible shape
preparatory, to presentation to the
1909 session of the legislature.
Attorneys of the state are becom
ing alarmed at, 'the almost hopeless
tangle into, which the statutes of
uregon are railing. Men believing
tnat they have a call to beter con
ditions by some legislation draft a
bill which is passed either by the
legislature or by initiative, Irre
spective of whether it Is in harmony
or in conflict, with those statutes al
ready existing and settled on the
books. An evidence of this is the
recent action of the people ot the
state In passing two fish bills for
the protection of salmon in the Co
lumbia river. The bills were drafted
by rival Interests, each of which In
tended to put the other out of busi
ness. Both bills passed and are now
laws and one conflicting with the
other makes both practically if not
wholly valueless.
It is not much better In the leg
islature, where a multitude of bills
are dumped into the hands of the
committees on revision of laws and
on judiciary for a hasty and super
ficial examination before being rec
ommended for final passage. It has
happened in the past that not all
members of these committees knew
any more law than was good for
them or their reputations as attor
neys and consequently when their re
ports were made It did not signify
that the bills would stand the tests
or the courts or were sound law,,
Because of these conditions the laws
of Oregon are a mass of contradictions,
duplications and tangles. Soma are In
consistent, some contradictory, some
ambiguous, making general whole
which Is a pussle equal to the famous
one of China. The code is antiquated
end now when ah attorney begins to
delve Into a question of statutory law
he must begin with the Bellinger and
Cotton's code and trace his law down
through each succeeding session of the
legislature to note the amendments, re
peals, alterations and changes. He
must 'also go Into each law passed by
the Initiative to see whether It touches
In anyway upon the paint at Issue. This
could, perhaps, be done away with any
way, but the chief difficulty is that in
his search the attorney usually runs
upon lawa that are ambiguous or con
tradictory or conflicting, thus leaving
him In a base of uncertainty.
Because of these conditions a plan is
on foot, engineered by attorneys, to
have the legislature create a state com
mission composed of learned lawyers,
to whom ail bills for proposed laws
shall be submitted for final dressing,
harmonising and general whipping lnfe
Shape. It Is contended that such a com
mission sitting a short time prior to
and during the legislative session
would be of untold benefit to the peo
ple of the state. All bills drafted for
submission to the legislature could be
given to them for examination. They
could make a critical reading of them,
weed out their conflicting clauses, put
them Into harmony with the existing
laws and having worked them over
Into sound law pass them back for
consideration by the legislature. The
same course could be followed with ref
erence to bills drafted for consideration
by the Initiative.
It is argued by the exponents of the
revision commission plan that such a
commission would simplify the work of
the legislature, would make the lawa
passed cogent and effective and at the
same time simple and lucid. It Is ar
gued that the result would be that Jus
tice would prevail more often than that
technicalities would succeed in defeat
ing the intent of the law.
The proposition is now being planned
out, and during the next session of the
legislature win do presented, ana us
enactment urged at the hands of the
legislature. The attorneys who have
considered the plan are all in favor of
It and are preparing to work earnestly
for its success.
SONS FORCED TO ATTACK FATHER
TO SAVE MOTHER FROM HARM
An unusual complaint was sworn to
yesterday In Judge Reld's court when
John Paukner charged his two young
boys with assault and battery and ex
hibited a bloody forehead in proof that
they had attacked him with a pocket
knlie.
A DOl Iceman was sent out to 1921
Chase avenue to arrest the boys whom
tne iainer naa represented as unnatural
eons. So f avorifbly .was the wfflcer im
pressed with the appearance of the
boys- i. At he merely told them to re
port at tne justice court tnis morning.
This they did. Mrs. Paukner and the
little sister of the Paukner boys also
appeared. They said that the father
was a demon when he started out on
one of his infrequent drinking bouts.
It such times he comes home and tries
to break up all the furniture and throw
It Into the street. The family Is kept
in fear of their lives .until he goes
away again. The mother's story satis
fied Judge Reld that the boys were Jus
tified In defending their home from the
Intrusion of a mad man, and the boys,
Joseph and Ambrose Paukner, were al
lowed to go on their own recognizance.
