Wo Cost to the Taxpayer.
' "Furthermore the taxpayers would not
have to pay anything. Such a plan would
necessarily have to be under state super
vision, which would require a small ap-
propriation, but there would be no com
mission. No bill that labor "advocates
will have any lobs attached to it" '
- : Mr. Cassldy produced figures to prove
t that ' under - the compensation act in
t Washington, accidents have largely in
creased. Comparing three corresponding
months, he showed that for October, No
vember and December, 1911, there were
respectively S47, 889 and 76 accidents;
" for the aamo months In 1912, there were
1242, 1176 and 1198 accidents. Argu
.ments in favor of the compensation act

A member of a Portland Insurance
firm told the committee that if an
- amendment were put in the act to the
effect that If an employer would give-a
signed agreement to pay the same com
. - pensation in case of accident that the
- act provided, he could be exempted from
making the payments to the compensa
tion fund, the bill would be satisfactory

representatives who served on the com.

"According to a certain newspaper

"While far from desiring to have the

needlessly placed under suspicion by

needlessly incensed thereby, I feel, nev

to expect an official statement as to
such rumors and the student body, the
employes and the management have a
right to the protection of such a state

Salem, Or., Jan. 25. The state land

bill introduced in the house by Repre

that the board should accept as security
for loans from the common school fund
mortgages on desert land included in ir
rigation projects. The members of the
board took the view that this would be
the same as accepting second mortgages,
as the lien on the land would be similar
to a first mortgage, and that the board
should not be forced to loan the school
fund on such security. Already the de
mand for school fund loans is greater
than the supply. . - ,

(Staff Corrpspomlniee.y
. halem, Or., Jan. 25. 'Shame, shame,"
cried Senator Joseph in the senate cham,
ber yesterday, lifting his voice to high
pitch as a rejoinder ' to remarks by
Senator. Gus C. Moser, who had Just
made, a' speech flaying Joseph as "a
"hot air" artist,
The bill under discussion was by Bar
rett of Umatilla, . amending the direct

Oregon- System Cry Seised. V
"This is a direct actack On the Ore
gon system," shouted : Joseph In his
speech on the bill, '-it is done for the
purpose ' of embarrassing; the Oregon
lawss As it to nowt; candidates must
go before the people and circulate pe
titlons and nominations must to some
extent be made by the people.- ,.
'This bill was introduced by a sena
tor who last time opposed, the Oregon
system, and .his bills this time op
posed to it Why should we aid those
who want to debauch this system and
render it ridiculous?"
Turning upon several of his colleagues
who were smiling at his earnestness, lie
shouted. - x '
"These men are smiling and smirking
as they hear this. For shame, fo
shame." , - j
"We Know Joseph" Moser. I
. Moser came along with a rap aftY
this. He said this talk by Joseph migll
be new to those who do not know hi
colleague, but "we of Multnomah coui.
ty know him as the great champion of
th 6 egon-Btenrwhen-itgtverTi
chanee for him to sptll out hot air."
- Thir brought Joseph's retort, "Shame,
shame." to a chorus of laughter. Others
who took part in the debate were Bar
rett Butler, Bean, Day and Thompson. ,
Butler defended Barrett's record as a
progressive, but -vote against the blH
w-4he-gfUHd tliwt nominations are too.
easily made now,,, and that this will
make them easier; Barrett said 'he
would yield to no one -in loyalty to the
direct primary and Statement No. 1,
not even Joseph. He said his purpose
is to cut out petition chasing at 6 oents
per name.- .;: .;.:,..,:";..;',,. . . xi
Thompson I for It
"", Bean sarcastically said he was In fa
vor of making it easy for all self-seekers
to be candidates, Day, opposed It
on the ground that it would make nom
inations a Joke, and is worse than the
thing it tries to cure. Thompson fa
vored it because he regarded the peti
tion plan as useless, anyone desiring a
nomination being able to get it by hir
ing petition circulators. He said he be
lieved in a system of one election, with
a preferential vote, but. that time was
too short at this session to work It out.
The bill as passed still allows the cir
culation of a petition to "nominate a
candidate, but any candidate who wishes
to nominate himself may. do so by film a
and paying a fee. Votes against the bill
were cast by-Butler, Cimlek, Hollis, Jo
seph. Kellaher, Lester, McColloch, Mil
ler, Ragsdale, Stewart. Yon der Hellen
and Wood. Day was absent and Smith
of Coos was excused from voting.
