Members Who Have No Di

Such a Measure.
(Br Journal Leased Salem Wire.)
Saloni. Or., Jan. -2. The Impending
countv division fight. In which It Is
sought to carve the new county of Ne
smith from I. an e and Douglas, has set
legislators to thinking and within a
few davs there will be introduced a gen
eral biil to govern the division of coun-
Such a measure was partiallyi
framed t the last session by faenators
F J. Miller. C. J. Smith and Frank
Boothe. Miller arid Smith, who are
members of the present senate, have
been perfecting the measure. The con
stitution prescribes certain require
ments qf population, area and taxable
wealth for new counties, and the pro
posed bill will try to fix equitable rules
for division of financial obligations and
for expression of popular will within
territory affected. ,
one suggestion has been that a 78 per
cent vote In favor of division be re
quired In the territory of any proposed
new county, and EB per cent of the vot
ers of the county or counties from which
It is taken shall be necessary,, before
division Is made.
Effect of Kesmith's Formation.
The proposed county of Nesmtth
would leave Iiane county a long, narrow
strip', running from the sea across the
coast mountains and the Willamette to
the mountains on the east. Nearly all
of its population would be derived from
the Willamette section tributary to Cot
tage Grove From Douglas county
would be taken a shoestring of timber
lands, sparsely settled. It would de
prive Douglas of only about 60 people,
but would take $2,000,000 worth of tax
able property.
The Lane and Douglas legislators ex
press a determination to give the di
vision bill a death thrust. It is prob
ablo the committee will report that the
legislature has no power to form a new
county.
The Nesmith boomers do not appear
to be worried bv this prospect, intimat
ing that they are expecting to win by
going before the people of the state at
the next election on a referendum peti
tion. SCORE TWICE

Certain Members of Legis
lature Tack Emergency
Provisions on Their Bills
Despite Attitude of Gov
crnor in This Matter.
(By Journal Leaned Salem WLre.)
Salem, Or.. Jan. 22,-Forgetful of the
attitude of the governor on emergency
clauses, various members of the pres
ent legislature are tacking them upon
their bills indiscriminately. Particu
larly Is this the case In the bills carry
Ins; appropriations for the increase of
salaries of state and county officials
and for other purposes. Half a dozen
bills of this nature have appeared In
the senate. In most instances the ob
jectionable clauses have been stricken
out by the committees. Today the scalp
bounty bill, carrying an appropriation
of $40,000 was sent into the house with
an emergency clause. A bill has been
Introduced In the house raising the sal
aries of all circuit court judges to
J4000 with an emergency clause. Oth
ers of like nature have been read and
referred.'
The governor has taken the position
from the first that all bills carrying
appropriations should be enacted In
such shape that the referendum could
be Invoked If desired. He has vetoed
bills not so drawn in the past, and it
Is safe to assume that he will In the
future.
Old members of the legislature are
passing the word, around to the new
men. that they had better leave the
emergency clause alone if they wish
their measures to become effective be
fore the next session of the legislature,
if then. It is fair to state that in many
Instances members have attached emer
gency clauses without uny desire to de
feat the opportunity of referendum, and
these members are willing at all times
to have the objectionable clauses re
moved. It Is not believed that any of
the bills, not absolutely needing such
clauses will come to the final reading
in that shape, as the committees are
watching such measures and- wil amend
them.

Salem, Or., Jan. 22. Senator Selling's

At first glance the syntem appears to
demand the attention of a Philadelphia
lawyer, but closer studv shows that the
principle' is simple and not difficult to

voting strength in the state. This is
done without impairing the election of
members by districts, but a system of
transferring votes from one district
where the party does not need them to
"districts at large" is provided, where
by these remainders, less than the full
"quotas" required to elect, may be add
ed together and elect "at large."

Is to be feared that the refusal to

the three years since the irresponsible

of herself or her child, not even a pair
of shoes for the baby. And he did no
better while they were living together,
beyond paying the rent occasionally.
She had alwavs had to support herself.
Mrs. McNutt said that he wrote her
that he had beebn served with a copy j

Commercial's Members Will
Tender Governor Cham
berlain Informal Recep-
t tion Tomorrow Evening,
'After Election of Officers
Following the annual . meeting and
election of governors of the Portland
Commercial club ; tomorrow; evening, an
Informal reception and luncheon will
be tendered .Governor Chamberlain In
honor ot "his election as United States
senator. C-. W. Hodson, president of
the club, who has arranged the details
of tbe reception, sald today that mem
bers were to corns In business suits and
meet the governor as they have met
him every Friday and Saturday since
the opening Of the club.
"Everyone . knows . him by his first
name," said Mr. Hodsoni "and we
thought It would be a good plan to
recognise his election as United Mates
senator as well as his personal popu
larity by giving him this Informal re
ception following the election tomor
row evening."
Th lota rievnlnnmnnt in the three-
cornered contest for members of tho
board of governors ls that the nomina
tors of the "regular" and "liberal" tick
ets declare that the third .or "conserva
tive" ticket, was filed too lats to receive
attention f roan the electors. According
. . . j .1 - . .I..V nv UtrA
to tne constitution i mo tiuu
resident members of the club, not mem
bers of the board of governors, may rec
ommend a different list or lists con
taining the names of resident members,
who have consented to serve as gov
ernors for three years and to fill vacan
cies and place the same, over their sig
nature, on th bulletin board In the
club room at least five days before the
date of the annual meeting."
The regular ticket, filed by the regu
lar nominating committee, was posted
several days before the expiration of
this five day limit. The "liberal" ticket
was filed on Jariuary 18 and the third
or "conservative"' ticket on January 19.
Now It la the chtm of those Interested
in the first two tickets that the third
was not filed five days before the date
of theannual meeting. They claim that
January 19 was not five days before
January 23 and that therefore the ticket
ls not legal and cannot be voted upon
tomorrow evening. It la a question that
will have to b left to tho meeting to
morrow night for decision.
The first ticket, nominated by the reg
ular nominating ticket, was composed nf
both liberals and conservatives. The
second was Simon pure nnerai ana tne
third was of known conservatives. The
rock upon which the three elements have
split ls the general policy of the club
with regard to card playing and liquor
There are to be five new governors se
lected, the total membership of the
board of governors being 15.
Next Tuesday noon, at the first meet
ing of the new board of officers, a pres
ident, vice-president, treasurer and sec
retary will be elected.
