KllOIiy PROBLEM
'r ' - ' -.":.
T May Furnish the Session's
Fiercest Fight i)ne-
. School Proposition.
. (Br Journal Leased Salem Wire.) ;.
Salem. Or., Jan. 21. Already, so early
In the cession, the perennial normal
school question is showing; Its head,
and from the" Indications the biggest
fight of the session will be over the
solution of this problem, which seems
impossible of solution. Bills to do away
, -with normal schools, bills to provide
for the maintenance of normal schools,
bills to furnish funds for those which
, nrerivut rOff theaist by the 1907 ses
sion, bills "for new' schools entirely, for
, new ooaras or repents ana lor nearly
every sort oi a shift and change in
the question, have 'already been sub
nutted and are now. on the calendar.
, - Some Specimen "Solutions."
' Jones of Douglas has a bill In the
house providing that the schools at
Ashland, and Monmouth be forever abol
- ished. He wants the schools at Drain
; and Weston to be maintained as the two
schools of. the state.
McCue has a bill In 'the house pro'
, viamg ror big appropriations tor wes
: ton, Monmouth and Ashland.
Applegate baa a bill In the house pro-
viding that the legislature appropriate
$7000 for the maintenance of the Central
Oregon Normal school, which was cut
off the list at the 'last session;
- Portland Jformsl Bills. .
Senator- Abraham has still another
solution In a bill Introduced in the sen
. ate' providing that the state be cut. tip
into five districts, one of the present
I, four- schools to be included In each of
four, of the districts, while Portland is
to be made into a new district and pro
vided-with a normal school of its own.
.Senator Smith of Marion has still
another solution in senate bill pro-
viaing ror one Dig normal scnooi at
Portland which shall be the only school
in the state, au the others being aban-
doned.
Jhe JlcCue bill provides for an appro
priation of 1163,660, to be apportioned
as follows: - Weston to have $1600 for
- land and ,150,000 for dormitories: Mon
mouth to have $50,000 for dormitories:
: Ashland to have $2060 for - land and
$50,000 for building; and equipping; dor
mitories. - i , s
According: to the Abraham 'plan, the
five districts are to support each its
own school,' by a special tax, as public
schools aro supported. , The , county
judges in each district are to serve as
the board for estimating; the amount of
taxes required for 'the maintenance of
the- schools. Portland, however, cannot
have its school until after the tax has
been levied and the money thus raised
for the ..construction of the buildings
needed for the conduct of the school.
Senator Smith includes an appropria
tion of $100,000 for the use of his new
school at Portland .and also . provides
that all of the property now owned by
the existing; normal schools .shall be
sold by the state.
With all these solutions offered for
the normal question it Is pretty bard
to say what the legislature will do.
Once it Is really confronted with the
final solution of the question, it is
- thought by many that the legislators
will , take the result of the investiga
tions of the normal board and follow
their suggestions that there be three
LABOR OPPOSES
: CLEMENS' BILL
Saving It Would Debar Poor
Man From Ever Obtain
ing Redress.
(By Journal Leaned Salpm Wire.)
Salem, Or., Jan. 21. Union labor and
the lawyers have their hammers out for
the Clemens contingent fee bill and if
there is anything in the talk that l
being put up by them the mensure will
be badlv bumped If not completely
knocked out.
The objection raised is that, no work
lngman who has lost an arm or a leg
can bring a personal damage suit
unless he has the money in the bank to
pay the lawyer. That la also the rea-
I son the lawyers are against the bill.
Briefly, the bill provides that it shall.
be a .misdemeanor for any person to en
ter Into an agreement, express or im
plied) by which he is to pay a part of
any claim to a lawyer for having se
cured it by judgment of the court. He
may, however, pay lawyer not more
than one fourth of the amount after It
Is all over.
Labor men argue that the bill is In
the interest of the corporations. They
contend that it is seldom . that a work-
Ingman. has money enough to commence
a suit ror personal injury damages and
that the only way they can secure their
rights la by the contingent fee course.
Should the Clemens bill becomes law.
a plaintiff would have to have either a
bank account or a cinch before he could
begin action In the court.
The friends of the labor unions and
the lawvers of the houra will inln in
making it unpleasant for the bill when
It comes up tor final hearing.

The salary of the new Official pro

work of tne unions. ,
VlKorous applause was Riven by the
representative of labor to a suggestion
that the pay of the members of the
legislature should be increased. - Young
declared that 'It la a shame" that Ore-
?on does not pay her lawmakers more
or their labor. The labor people took
the view that higher pay -would tend
to lessen the temptation of legislators
to graft.
Emphasis was placed by all the speak
ers on the need for an effective em
ployers liability law. Young also made
a suggestion that In reapportioning the I
state, it would be well to fix a basis
of proportional representation so that
different trades and professions can be
represented according to meir strenerin
among lawmakers. In looking over the
house, he said where members and fed
eration delegates were intermingled, he
could not distinguish (he - legislators

One solution, which is hew to this

i prominent men or tne state wno nag
paid close attention to the question
and Who is greatly interested - in the
cause of higher education. He suggests
. that all the schools be abolished ex
cept one. Thisvbelngr done, he would
have the state1 give aid to all high
schools . that have sufficient teachers
to 'maintain a normal school course as
a part of the curriculum of that school.
He would have these high schools, aid
ed by the state, furnish' all the teachers
needed for the country schools of the
state.. The one normal school would
be, in fact, a school of higher educa
tion. It would not educate teachers so
much as it would train them for their
profession after they had received their
education in the high schools. This so
lution is also being advocated and will
perhaps enter Into the discussions of
the legislature when the final action is
about to be taken on the normal question.

Superintendent James would also like

that the ways and means committal

that the sum of $136,000 will be appro

Bj Journal. Leased Salem Wirt.)
Salem, Or.. Jan. 21 A bill will do
away with the forfeiture of nronertw
of men convicted of crime between the
time the crime is committed and th
date of entry of the judgment was read
the third time In the senate today.
Senator Hedges, author of the hill
explains that the law as It stands some
times works a hardshlD on innonent
purchasers, as it gives the state a Hen
on all property possessed by a crim
inal from the time of the crime. There
is no means before the dtacnvtrv nf
crime for a purchaser to know that the
seller has committed a felonv und even
after his arrest It cannot be known that
he will be convicted, so it Is argued that
forfeiture should not be effective un
til date of judgment.
DIVORCED WIFE ASKS
ALIMONY AND $50,000
(United Press Leased Wire.)
Taooraa. Jan. 21. Mrs. Carrie Wilkin
son has filed suit against her divorced
nusoano in the superior court, asking
tt5 a month alimony and costs of the
action. She has also filed a suit against
Marv Adamson. who recentlv came to
Tacoma from 8t Paul, where the Wil
kinsons formerly resided, asking $60,000
for alienating Wilkinson's affections,
by "threats upon his life, cajolery and
otherwise."
Mrs. Adamson. who is a widow. In

site ot the proportional system
U Ren. who fathered the proportional
representation amendment, is under

and representatives from the state at
large. The members would come from
different districts as at d resent, but a
voter in Klamath or Crook county would
be permitted to vote for a mau residing

lsts and hToniDitionisis, ny centering
on two or three candidates to electmeni
of the legislature in proportion to their
party strengtn.. nut some otner advo
cates of proportional representation
think that the state as a unit Is too
larre and smaller districts should be
created.
Coffey's plan would prevent any ap
ilication of the proportional plan, as
can only be used where there are
two or more officers to bs chosen to the
same office from the same district. To
make the proportional idea ' effective
there must be legislation, as the consti

actions.
Howard Wilkinson, the husband, has
filed a cross complaint. He alleges
Mrs. Wilkinson is possessed of a con
siderable estate In England and will
fall heir to other estates of great value,
while he is employed as an expert ac
countant, with no means at his com
