WESTS HRST VETO
UPHELD SENATE
Majority of Members Realize
Folly of Overriding Him in
. - Petty Matters.. ,
(SUff tjorreapondenc.) .
Salem, Or., Feb. IS.- The senate's val
entine to Governor West was presented
last yesterday afternoon, when the first
bill he has vetoed this session, and the
only one so far vetoed, failed to receive
the two thirds necessary, to make It a
law.-. -. "-"-r" r':f;;'rf;f: v'Wi'i -:
Incidentally, the vote surprised some
of those who play-In and out of season
to "put the governor In a hole." This
favorite pastime of a few ot the sena
tors met a severe shock when the. vote
showed. 17 ayes, 12 noes, and 19 votes
being required.
The bill In question was one of no
great ' importance. In ' the house it
was passed over the veto with only one
dfssentin g- vofcet - But friends f the
governor realized that' certain schemers
who have been trying to discredit the
governor would make capital out of the
vote if the senate also passed the bill
along. ! In this they were assisted by
several other eenators, who consider
it a inlsuke on such petty legislation
to override the" veto f the executive., .
In other words. It was difficult, to
dignify the bill of Representative Mann,
which proposed that circuit judges may
give the substance ot certain statutes to
grand juries in their own language in
stead of reading the statutes in toto,
Into such importance that there was any
crying need of making it an "Issue" and
to insist upon its enactment over scores
of bills of feal 1 importance that the
legislature might spend its time consid
ering. ;.HV-K-.-''-;-v:'-Vr' -." '
Those voting: tor pass over the veto
were Barrett, Bean, .Burgess, Carson,
Day. Farrell, Hawley, Hosklns, Kiddle,

and President Malarkey, this list includ

THEY'RE ALL JN IT NOW
When Deadline -S6t, by Senate
Comes-at Midnight, Scores
of Bills Must Perish .
(Siloio Baretu ot Tbe Jngrosl.)
Salem. Or., Feb. 16-When the clock
hands in the -state capitol meet at 11
tonight, somebody is 'going to be deep
ly lh , the .Jjole"; and ; it 1 will , not , be
Governor West. . r- .
None of the earnest gentlemen la the
bouse who .haver- been, striving to put
the governor in the mysterious 'hole"
that has come to be the by-word of
thi legislative - session haa ever ex
plained the full Import of the subtle
phrase. But those whose favorite bills
fall to reach the senate by the midnight
deadline will he able to explain all about
it tonight Here are some figure that
show WhTTT . -....-Ui.S . ix
There are Just 830 bills on the cal
endar' for the house to dispose of today
in order to have them considered by
the senate. Each one of these, bills nas
a fond parent somewhere in,: the house
watching over It with tender eolicitude.
A. Hon rail . of, Tlngerllngs. 1 -Of
tliese bills, 137 are on third read
ing, or up for passage. Of. the rest
well, . 183 are atill in the hand of com-'
mltteea lhat have not yet reported them
out' Some, of course, are elated to die
there, but most of them will be liberated
sometime during . the' day to struggle
for life. . Thirty others .have: not even
reached the stage of getting into the
committees, let alone out of them.
if it were possible for tne nouse to
day to dispose of one bill . every five
minutes without a pause or letups it
would take Just 1650 minutes to clear
the desk. And that Is 27 hours, which
Is considerably more time than is left
between now and midnight
; But of course it -Is a physical and
a mental impossibility to take 330 bills
and kill . them or pass them. i Wye
minute apiece. It will take nearer, to
half an hour apiece as a general aver
age, for aome of these measure will
not slide through, even in. this time of
stress, without sharp debate. Especial
ly, when there Is a little -matter of
between $8,000,000 and $9,000,000 in ap
propriation to be passed on, to say
nothing of such strife stirring bill
a the blue sky measure and the repeal
of the state printer flat salary law,
' 65 Bills XllUng Job.
Rolling along at top ' apeed, .with
every body turning in to, form-Che
united steam roller and, hurry things
along, the house in -the whole of yes
terday disposed Of 86 bills. And. when
it got through near midnight, everybody
was so nearly dead tired that the origin
al decision to stay and work until one
ortw o'clock was dropped. All - the
weary members of the house wanted
to do - by the time they had disposed
of 5 roeasu
sleep for a hundred years.
Of the 65 measures, 43 .were passed,
five were . killed, . and one was indefi
nitely postponed. Sixteen, were with
drawn, which means they were not con
sidered at alt. So with all ateam on.
tbe house really was able to pass On
The prospect ior passing ou iwy
is therefore not bright enough to dazzle
any legislator. ,The question, who is "In
the hole" can safely be answered, ?Not
Oovernor; West" .
Innocent Bolons Suffer Too.
The house may work all night tomor
row and until dawn of Sunday. The
hands of the senate clock will be turned
back before they get a chance to reach
midnight, and thus time will be cheated
somewhat But it cannot without a,
miracle dispose "of 330 bills. Those not
in the official steam roller must suffer
wUh the rest
As for the senate, its members who
are almost up with their work seem to
be perfectly satisfied with the situa
tion, and not at an inciinea xo reieni
end extend the time. The house yester
day voted to put the senate resolution
on the table, but that is all the good it
did the house. ,

Salemi Or,, Feb. 15. After twice fall
ing to.agree and sending the 'measure
to conference - committees to patch up,
house' and senate conferees have reached
an agreement on the Barrett-Hurd coun
ty road bonding bill that they expect
both chambers to ratify, .
i The - conferees, who are '; Reanies,
Forbes and Upton from the house and
Burgess, Farrell and Butler from" the
senate, made their report today Its
ratification will .make completion of the
first constructive road legislation ot the
session.:;; is :t.-"--i.:!v-;. cj1:1
From the first, when confUctlhgJblHs
were adopted by each house,' the point
of difference ha been whether the vot
ers or the county' court shall decide on
the amount and expenditure of bond
issues. After the first conference, the
house stipulated that petitioner to the
county . court , to call a bond : election
should state where the .road should be
built ; and how much : the Issue should
be. - --'-'rr--r -
The senate .took the stand that this
would result in Btrlfe and opposing pe
titions, and insisted that the petitions
should merely ask for a bond Issue,
leaving to the county court to fix all
the detail afterward. - :,
The compromise provides that the

In Portlad this year T. That was last
year's record. It put Portland in the
lead of the cities. It resulted in the
largest display of garden products ever
made. It enlisted a great number of

It gave some new educational ideas.

More boys and girls are in the schools.
They have learned netter how to grow
gardens. They understand better, that
soil must be cultivated deeply and
mulched welt V They 7 know the value
of fertilizer and of proper selection of
seeds. There can be a happier time In
growing gardens : this year and there
can be a final exhibit of even greater
' The garden contest league has already
commenced Its work. It has taken of

enlisted in its-membership those who
know the joy and benefits of gardening.
The representatives of the Jeague have
already appeared before the school board
asking to cooperate with the board in
forwarding the plan of work.
Remember, the boy -or the girl who
gets to work earliest,; who. learns best
