SMITH KLAMATH UNIFORM OF TO 1 DEFEND ACCOUNTING STATUTE Representative Says Meas ures" "Are Largely Respon sible for Economy Demand, WOULD BROADEN WORK Vrgm Busms Mthod for Tnniau- tion of All County Bailsui,' 'I (Sprcljil tn The Journal. t Salem, Or., Jan. 11. Representative Wealey O. Smith or Klamath county, .author of the uniform accounting law nd the law providlrjg for a county budget, enacted by thei.l9t3 legislature. la preparing to make a valiant defetiae Of these laws. . j A number of lawmaker are here with a hammer cut jtor the uniform accountancy law, In particular, as It ha proved unpopular with various county courts and otjier county offi cials whose books were experted under the supervision of th tjtate insurance commission, who. liasi the admlnlstra ; tlon ox the law. As provided by this law, in the last two years the accountancy depart- lnent has Installed uniform account- log systems In the State and county offices, and has audited tho books) of all 'the counties, excetpt Multnomah. Representative Smtth declares that the operation of this law, and the county budget law, affording the pub lic Information about county affairs that It never had before, is largely lesponsible for the insistent demand for economy that Is .now heard from one end of the state to the other. To complete the j Job of putting county affairs in ojrder, as he ex presses It, Representative Smith has a bill to introduce providing that the county clerk shall ' audit all bills against the county, tha same as the secretary of state now audits all bills against the state, aod defining more definitely the duties of the county court. "BuhIuphs methods adopted in coun ty affairs will sava 50 per cent of the cost of running many of the coun ties," said Mr. Smith. "To get a law enacted along' the line I have suggested Is the only reason I ; ran .for reelection." j Schuebel Has Bills Says "Not Foolish" ; f - Abolition of Immigration Commission; Municipal Ownership of Water Plants; Tax on Telephone Earnings. Salem, Or., Jan, 11. Representative C. Schuebel of Oregon City arrived early at the state house with 12 man's size bills ready to introduce. "Not one is foolish," he said, which he considered remarkable. One measure provides for the aboli tion of the immigration commission; another Imposes a license on fishing appliances and upon canneries; one allows cities and . towns to own and operate their own water plants; an other puts a license of 2 per cent on gross earnings of express, telephone and telegraph companies. One bill makes it punishable by fine of $100 and 30 days' Imprisonment for employ ment agencies to eharge fees.

District Attorney Hearing Is Set Action Filed to Determine Whether or Kot Appointment by Governor West Can Be Made Good. ' Salem. Or., Jan. 11. The supreme court has set January 28" as. the date of hearing on an action brought by F. S. Ivanhoe to determine the legality of the appointment of John S. IlodRin as district attorney of Union county. i ne appointment or llodgin bv Gov ernor West was based on an act of the legislature which provided that district attorneys should be appointed by the governor for a term ending In The constitution provides that a dis trict attorney shall hold until his suc cessor is elected and qualified. Ivanhoe was a hold-over attorney, his term expiring January 1915. His contention is that he should hold for another two years. The case comes before the court on a writ of mandamus requiring Hodgin to show cause why he is entitled to the office. - Itisltop Is Destructive. Salem, Or., Jan. 11 "I suppose you would call the laws! in wliich I am Interested Just now destructive, in stead of constructive" said Senator C P. Bishop of Marion. "I am going to Introduce bills to. repeal the uni- form accountancy law and the law relating to certified accountants. 'Th Idea, cf requiring public ac countants to take examinations and pay a fee of $20, Just like the doctors' trust, is foolish. You might as well .require merchants or fanners to pass .examinations before being allowed to engage in business. I think my bills will pass all right." Anxious About the Apples. Saletn.

Salem, Or., Jan. H. Chief interest centered in the house from the first this morning. Visitors thronged the hall, mingling with! represetnatlves and o'clock things began The speakership contest appeared to be the chief topic, the two candidates, Ben Selling of Multnomah and Allen j early to look ' after their alignments. That three men were still doubtful, pending the .outcome of Eaton's effort i to secure two more than were as cribed to him last night, was still the point that kept both sides guessing. Eaton insisted today, before the con vening of the house, that be had a fighting chance. emphasizing the word "fighting." Selling still claimed 37 votes, and i declared all his supporters would be with him at the voting. At informal conference last night at the Marion hotel, the speakership situation was canvassed anew. Everybody denied that any caucuses were held, because the representatives were not bound by the results. How ever, 28 known supporters of Selling gathered in a side room and went over i the situation. ' When this was over Representative Conrad P. Olson of Multnomah an-M nounc-ed that S. B. Huston had been agreed upon for temporary speaker, and that his nomination probably would be made by William I. Vawter of Jaokson county. It was agreed that W. F. Drager should be chosen tempo- I rary chief clerk. As chief clerk of , the 1013- session it was decided that! he also should call the unorganized house to order. v Mr. Olson said it had been agreed tnat after the selection of these tem porary officers, a committee on perma nent organization and procedure, and : a committee on credentials, would be appointed. This done, a recess will bo taken while ' the committees prepare their reports. Mr. Olson declared thi$ should be taken care of within a short time. He ! forecasted the selection of; the speaker by 11 o'clock. Von der Hellen Has Idea. Salem. Or., Jan: 11. "If the legis-j lature wouia ao me necessary tilings i and then go home the state would be better off," said Senator H. Von der rteiien OI jacusun ruunij, uu o i sigh weighted with weariness at thoughts of the 40 days and 40, nights Just ahead. "If we knew who to ap point, there ought to be an advisory committee to hold the legislature down to consideration of necessities. But I suppose such a thought is a waste of energy." Salem Boy Loses . Leg Under Train Salem, Or., Jan. 11. Harold W'hite, aged 17 years, is in the Salem hospital today recovering from the imputation of one of his legs above the knee.
