Charges That Oregon People
Pay More for Books Than
"Those, of. Other States
Rouse the Legislature.
(Special Dlapatcb to' The fnurnil.)
Salem, Or., Jan. i8. Charges made in
ihe house that the parents of Oregon'
pupils are paying from 30 to 60 per cent
more for school text books than In o,ther
states will lead In an attempt at this
session to reform the mode of contract
ing for the books. A change In the
.board or text dook commissioners win
also be, asked.
The teachers of the state at the cn
, ventlon held early In the winter at Port;
land demanded that they be given rep
resentation on the text book commission.
In the bill providing for free text books
and introduced by Representative Ralph
Clyde of Multnomah, provision was
made compelllnf 'the governor to name
at .least three .educators on the text
book board. Later this and other
clauses referring to the commission
were withdrawn. , '
"I did this," explained Clyde, "in order
to Insure the passage of the text book
provision. I had strong Intimation that
if I did not withdraw the clause relat
ing to the commission that body would
fight my bill and that it would go down
to defeat In entirety. My Intention la to
bring up the subjects relating to the
commission in a distinctive bill"
Eaton takes Stand.
- During his talk In the house on the
bill, Clyde declared that with the aid
of "certain Interests In Oregon" the
price of school books was far above
what It should be. In this statement
he was backed by Representative Allen
Eaton of Linn, who conducts a book
tore in Eugene and is familiar with the
prices of books In this state and others.
"I took this attitude for one reason
because It was charged that I would op
pose any change in text books because
of 'my personal Interests," said" Eaton
afterward.
"Naturally, if the price of books were
reduced my profits would be smaller.
Rut I see abundant room for reform on
this subject In Oregon. The school book
trust at present appears to be in abso
lute control. I do not err when I say
that the prices here for the same books
are from 80 to 60 per cent higher than
elsewhere." .
The text book commission at present
consists of five men appointed by the
governor. The statute governing them
provides that they shall next .meet in
February of 1913 and make contracts
for school books foV the six years follow
ing and every six years thereafter. There
is now no provision as to whom shall
be appointed by the governor and the
teachers and other educational Interests
are demanding that they be given fair
representation.
REPUBLICANS OF
SPAIN PLOT FOR
FALL OF ALFONSO
(Continued from Page One.)
in the summer of 1909 after a military
court had convicted him of participating
in the Barcelona riots of that year. A
revision of the case will certainly mean
a decision that Ferrer was judicially
murdered. This will do Ferrer no good
but It Is bound to start such an outcry
against King Alfonso's government as,
In its present unstable condition, it sim
ply cannot stand.
J'romier Canalejas commands a ma
jority in the chamber of deputies and
can prevent Deputy Soriano's demand
for the Ferrer revision if he likes, but
if he does this he will have to concede
that he wishes to shield former Pre
mier Maura, under whose administra
tion Ferrer was killed in short that
he Is as much a reactionary as the
ultra-reactionary Maura himself.
Monarchy Cannot Escape.
Whichever way it goes, the Repub
licans will be satisfied. If the Ferrer
revision is granted they count on a
scandal which will -lupset - the throne.
If it is refused, King Alfonso will be
convloted of cheating the country by
pretending to give it a liberal govern
ment which la really reactionary. And
they do not think the throne can long
survive that, either.
It is true that the Republicans want
the Ferrer records overhauled, but they
would not have insisted on It if Pre
mier Canalejas had convinced them that
he meant business In his "Church and
State" campaign. But they are satis
fied that he does not, and for his lack
of good faith in the "Church and State"
matter, they are making a weapon of
the Ferrer case to kill him.
Canalejas Willing Bat Helpless.
1 believe the Premier would really
like to do something toward limiting
the Church's power," said Senor Soriano,
in an interview to the United Press, "but
King Alfonso and the Clericals back of
him will not allow it At any rate, he
la accomplishing and will accomplish
nothing. Everything he has done has
been Ineffective, It is bound to con
tinue so."
.. "And do you consider the King also
responsible for Ferrer's death," I wanted
to know.
"No," said Senor Soriano, "not for
Ferrer's death. That was Maura and
Minister of the Interior Clerva. But for
the failure of the fight against the
church, ths king is responsible yes."
"Well, what," I said, 'Is to be gained
by a reversal of the death sentence
against Ferrer since it has already
been executed for a year and a half?",
"Nothing will be gained for Ferrer,"
answered the Republican leader, "but
it will be a Spanish Dreyfus case and
the present Spanish government is not
strong enough to survive a thing like
that.';
"What will happen V'
"It will drive Canalejas out of office
at once." ,
''Will he not immediately be suc
ceeded by someone else?".
j No One Blse Oaa LM$.
"He will, but no one else can last
There are only two men In Spain who
tan lead the two monarchlal parties
Maura the Conservatives and Canalejas
the Liberals,- Maura Is already Impos
sible. It there is any question about It
this Ferrer scandal will settle, it That
leaves only Canalejas. - When the Fer
rer scandal has finished him, too, there
will be no one left at all,"
"And what thenr , ,
"A governmental overturning a re
public." - ' , ; i
"How soon 7, ' .. '
"I don't know, but not long. . The
crisis is very near."
fays Spain Is Bepublloaa Vow.
"Spain is republican, though not
republic, now. We control the munici
pal administrations of the big . cities.
We have majorities everywhere. A large
majority, of Spaniards are- already re
publicans, in short"
. "They don't w(n elections everywhere,
however. ;t But that Is because the Con
servatives and Liberal election officials
don't count their votes.
"And will Premier Canalejas agree
to the Ferrer revision or not?"
"The premier seems to have answered
that question himself, some time ago.
If I had been in Senor Maura's place,''
he sai8, ' "the verdict ' against Ferrer
would have been the same. But wheth
er I should have exercised clemency
Is another matter. Perhaps I should.
I'm not sure.", . ..
: One , of tho most surprising things
about Senor Soriano la the boldness
with which he talks prophesying rev
olutions, , the upsetting of governments
and the fall of thrones. Most Span
lards are very cautious about this,
while the present regime endures. But
Senor Soriano thinks the present" gov
ernment so hard, pressed and the Re
publicans so strong that he does not
believe the former will dare to pre
cipitate trouble by acting until It Is
literally driven Into doing so.

the other bills to come.
Barrett of Umatilla Introduced the
bonding bill and of course voted for it,
after making an Ineffectual attempt to
amend it by depriving county courts of
discretionary power , in road building
where abutting, property owners offer
to pay part of the cost. Others opposed
to the highway commission bill were
Burgess of Umatilla, Merryman of
Lake, Oliver of Union and Patton of
Marion. Calkins of Lane and Abraham
of Douglas were the only senators vot
ing for ths highway commission bill
who voted against the 'bonding act.
right oa Bonding Bill.
The only fight, of consequence over
the bonding bill came on the amend
ment of Barrett of Umatilla directing
county courts to give preference in
road building to all ' roads where
abutting property owners give bond to
pay 10 per cent of the cost on com
pletion. ' Joseph of Multnomah wanted
to make -It 33 1-3 per cent and Barrett
of Washington moved further amend
ment fixing the, percentage at 25.
Selling, Norton and Carson opposed
alf ' these amendments, declaring the
matter should be left In the hands of
the county courts. They argued it would
be unfair- to require the expenditure of
money tn scattered districts, without
any unity of plan, simply because some
property owners are financially able to
put themoney for Improvements along
side their property.
Joseph, while offering one of the
amendments, took practically the same
ground. His object in offering the
amendment was to fix the percentage
so high that such privileges were not
likely to be sought. Abraham of Doug
las wanted some sort of plan . to re
quire money raised within each road
district , to be expended where It is
raised.
In one, two, three order the amend
ments were voted down, leaving the
bill in its original form. This will
allow county courts to designate the
roads upon which money raised by bond
Issues shall be spent, so Improvements
can be carried out in accordance with
some general plan.
' . (special Dlapatcb to The Journal.)
Salem, Or., Jan. , 28. Though the sen
ate yesterday failed to ptess the bill to
abolish the death penalty in Oregon,
the, Indications are it will ultimately
pass that body next Tuesday, 4or which
time It has been made a special order.
After the bill which abolishes hang
ing had been placed on tbe ahelf by a
vote of 15 ayes and 10 noes, 16 votes
being required, McColloch of Baker
moved to reconsider. While opposed to
the bill, McColloch Called attention to
the fact that five senators were absent,
and bp said he was willing to give the
absentees a chance to vote.
Senator Bean, . who was absent In
eastern Oregon on the special committee
investigating the asylum site, is said
to be a friend of the bill, and one or
two other absentees are claimed for it.
Its passage next Tuesday Is therefore
considered a certainty by its friends.
Debate Very Active.
The vote yesterday was preceded by
earnest debate, while crowded lobbies
looked on and listened. Patton and
Malarkey spoke for the bill, declaring
it In line with advanced civilization.
Dimlck spoke agalnss the bill.
"Murder is rampant in this state,"
said Dimlck. "We ought to hang foot
pads as well as men who murder, and
I would amend the law in that way, if
it were left to me. Do you mean to
tell me a man guilty of treason should
not be hanged?
"What reason can you give me for
not hanging that man Roselair, ,who
killed his family, or Jim Finfh, who
in cold blood shot down Ralph Fiaher?
He is better off and the state is better
off when they are gone. And this man
Webb, who killed Johnson and put his
body in a trunk 'Should we put htm In
the penitentiary and let him remain a
burden on the community? We should
deal with the murderer as he deals with
society, and you cannot tell me that
life imprisonment is any such deterrent
as death to the man who commits
crime." , -
Declares Dimlck Bloodthirsty.
Malarkey declared Dimlck was blood
thirsty. He defended the bill as in
creasing the certainty of punishment,
which he held to be the true deterrent
Those supporting the bill to abolish
the death penalty were' Abraham, Albee,
Barrett or Washington, Bowerman, Cal
kins, Hosklns, Joseph, Locke, Malarkey
Nottingham, Oliver, Parrlsh, Patton,
Von der Hellen and President Selling

Those opposed were Barrett of Uma
tllla, Burgess, Dimlck, Kellaher, Lester,
McColloch, Merryman, Miller, Norton
Sinnott 10. ,
Bean, Carson, Chase, Hawley and
wood were the absentees.
The bill voted on provides that here
after the punishment for murder, trea
son and assault on a guard by a con
vlct shall be life imprisonment, and
that those convicted of first degree
murder or assault on a guard may only
be pardoned upon the ground of newly
discovered evidence and then only af
ter the supreme court having heard the
new evidence, certifies the record to the
governor with the opinion that the
prisoner is innocent.

nothing but the cash and throwing the
lodge papers it contained about the

This box had a loose lid, the lid hav
ing been torn off about a year ago when
burglars relieved it of $700.
The interior of the store is a wreck,
caused by flames and water. All the
woodwork was scorched and the candies
were melted Into little sugared heaps
about the floor. Not a thing in the
store escaped damage.
t A new stock of goods which had been
received yesterday and which had been
unpacked In the rear of the store, is a
total loss.
The store Is located In the Marqliam
building, Morrison and Stxth streets,
and the firemen fought desperately to
conquer the flames to prevent them

covered In time a serious conflagration
might have resulted, as this Is In the

There was. considerable amusing dis

WOID ABOLISH
WHIPPING POST
House Votes to Amend Statute
Governing Wife Beaters
by 43 Votes.
HUM
(Sceclal Dispatch to The Juurnal.)
Salem, Or., Jan. 28 Delaware and
Maryland should feel rather isolated and
deserted today. The house yesterday
declared that Oregon ought to depart
from the fold of states whtch sanction
the relic of witchcraft days the whip
ping post leaving the two eastern com
monwealths as the last of those which
cling to the ancient custom.
Buchanan of Douglas made an elo
quent fight to amend the statute gov
erning assault and battery so as to
omit the section providing for the whip
ping post for wife beaters.
"It is contrary to the- constitution,
which provides that there shall be no
unusual or cruel punishment for any
crime," he declared. "It is a relic of the
barbarous ages, for when it la enforced
n aeprives a man of his self respect
without reforming him. Tn mv imi.
edge it has only been enforced twice,
once in Portland and at another time In
eastern Oregon, but I believe the house
could do nothing better at this session
than repeal this section."
Eaton of Lane made a strong' fight
against the change In the law, main
taining that a wife beater deserved
nothing less than the whipping post He
was in the minority, however, and the
Buchanan bill was passed with 48 votes.
Fouts of Multnomah presented a mi
nority report from the revision of laws
committee on house bill No. 61, by Pe
terson of Umatilla, by which any per
son over II could serve a summons.
Fouts termed the bill a menace which
would be a medium for fraud on the
part of'unscrupulous persons and would
work against rich and noor alike. Peter
son took the onnoslte view anil main.

money to the poor people. The debate

REPRESENTATIVES

Salem until noori today at least In view
of the fact that but three more weeks
of the session remained and little had
been done as yet. Despite an over
whelming vote in favor of the adjourn
ment until Monday he ruled that the
house bad decided otherwise.
As soon as the speaker left the stand
he- was surrounded by about a dozen
members, who declared that business
Interests required their attention, and
asked to be excused.
"I will excuse no one, and if you
leave we will send the sergeant-at-arms
after you," replied Rusk.
Only roar Multnomah Mea Fresent
Finding the speaker firm In his stand,
half a dozen of the Multnomah members
got together and decided that they
would leave without permission. Eight
or ten from other counties agreed to
stand with them and also to be among
those missing today. In consequence
when the house met this morning there
were only four Multnomah members
present, Fouts, Abbott Collins and
Clyde.
After the house had been called to or
der and a roll call taken, Speaker Rusk
announced that there were only 87 pres
ent three less than the necessary two
thirds required to form a quorum. A
call of the house was ordered and the
doors ordered locked, while Sergeant-at-Arms

Willard Wlrtz, a newspaper correspon
dent, was appointed by the speaker as
an assitsant to aid Ely In the search
for the missing men.
In the meantime the doors were kept
locked and Doorkeeper JF. Singer told
not to permit any members to leave
without a pass, from Speaker Rusk.
McKlnney of Baker-asked for an ad
journment so that the committees might
go to work. Eaton of Lane objected to
the adjournment and suggested that in
stead, the committees be excused, sub
ject to the call of the oh use. Buchanan
of Douglas favored the adjournment, de
claring the house could not do business
even if 40 were present and that he
would not wish any of his bills to be
brought up at such a time.
"It would probably be good thing
to consider some of the bills when 40
were here," replied , the speaker. "A
good many that ought to be, would very

present outlook the immense water

Portland and east as far as The Dalles.
The chief surveyor of a large holding
company is in Hood River at the present
time waiting for the snow to disappear
so aa to make some necessary surveys
for the construction of the plant and
for a pole route out of the city. It is
stated that Mosler will be supplied with
lights and power from this source.
Those who understand the situation
here are confident that Hood River val
ley will be supplied with an electric
railway during the coming season.
The people of Scio owning their light
