.for the house, a total'of $33,435.95. He
; said that $291, was paid to the desk
clerks and elective help In the senate
which wan. excepted from the resolu
-tlon, thus leaving $11,566.95 upon
which a saving might be made under
the terms of his resolution.
', "To show that this Is not buncombe,'
' said Senator Dimick, "I secured a bid
from Charles K. Runyon, who has been
a court reporter for the .last 25 years,
lis nronoRcn to i all the stenoeraohfc
work-of the senate for $6500, and to
; grv a bond if necessary. He agrees
that the scnato may terminate the
contract at tho end of 10 days If the
"work is not satisfactory. This includes
' the private correspondence of the sen
ators." ,
Senator Dimick said this would ef
fect a saving In the senate Of $5066.95,
.' and. that an offer of. proportionate
' saving had been made to the house.
Fledge OlTen for Economy.
', "We are pledged to economy," said
; Senator Dlmlck. "Everybody Is urg
tlng fronomjr. Now we have a chance
".to carry out the pledges we made be
fore election.
'"I ask if this pronomy business was
i all pre-election talk? Was It only to
gt votes? Are we. In order to have a
little patronage to dispense, going to
i throw aside a chance to save $5000 or
i$600O? .
I" ("What did th arovernor say In his
jinauguKal address? Didn't he say that
the expenses of the last session were
exorbitant?
": 'The legislature Is on trial. This
lis ' the first chance to begin economy
"at, home. Are we going -to turn It
4ownr "
w I Pointing out the fact that Senator
Dlmlck la a member of the committee
' n alcoholic traffic nnd that he Is a
re going to work .together, . Senator
Butler of Wasco was the first to say
that he thought the resolution was a
false cry of -conomy. He said also
that It would foist another monopoly,
upon the state. He said It would be a
"contract, sweatshop system."
"Would Show Good Palth."
. i- Senator Farrell of Multnomah said
favorable action on the resolution
would "show good faith with the peo
ple by starting right."
.. Senator Bingham, chalrnwm of- the
resolutions committee, which reported
adversely op the resolution, said in
addition to-. his legislative, duties he
had private "business to transact and
he did not care to' have some contrac
tor furnish him with a stenographer
to handle that business.
This opinion was expressed also by
Senator Moser, who said that the legis
lators were entitled to plenty of com
petent help.
Vntt Attend to Private Business.
v 'f,We knew that we had private -business
to attend-to when we ran for of
fice." said Senator Ragsdale, "and I
believe we should not ask the state
to ;pay for stenographers to attend to
. that Ibusiness."
-r Senator Day, of Multnomah, said
th change would, be. much .mora .ob
Iioxldus than the present system. He
'suggested that the Individual members
who wanted to dispense with the aerv
Ices at a stenographer could feel at
'liberty to do so.
, In explaining his vote. Senator
Strayer. of Baker,, said .he. .favored
economy, . but that the resolution

EARTHQUAKE;
SHAKES ITALY,
MANY KILLED
(Continued From Page One.)
r"ble to get details of the situation.
A large force of troops has been
sent -to the province of Abruzzi to
assist the representatives of the
ministry of "the interior.
The earthquake was the most
violent Rome has ever felt. Nearly
every church and public building
in the city was damaged to some
extent. The tower of the church
of St. Andre was partiaUy demol
ished and will have to be tora
down.
Reports reecived this afternoon from
outlying districts indicated that the
earthquake caused loss of life.
A number of buildings were destroy
ed in Rome's outskirts. It is reported
that 18 persons were killed at Pereto.
a village in the compartiamento of
Abruzzi.
The shock was 'very severe outside
of Rome. Telegraph and telephone
communication "with many towns has
been interrupted.
Aurellan Column Damaged.
The Royal Tobacco factory and one
of the railroad, stations were damaged.
The Aurellan column in the heart of
the city was also damaged slightly.
The seismograph at the Vatican reg
istered two shocks, the first at 5 a.
m. This was only, a slight tremor.
The second came nearly- three hours
later.
The church of St. diaries Gattlnarl
was badly damaged .when the cupola
was shaken off. The main building
of the .church of St. Agata Goti, the
seat Off the Irish college, was badly
cracked. A section of the left end of
St. Peters was also cracked slightly.
It was reported this afternoon that
there had been considerable loss of
life and enormous damage in. the prov.
ince of. Abruzzi. The entire province
suffered and many small towns are
said to, have been- nearly- wiped out,1
Several towns in the. province of Rome
also suffered.
Latest, advices, whieh are- still very
meager, report that great damage was
sustained in the towns of Capelle,
Magliano. Froslnone, Monte Rotondo,
Veroly, Valmontone and Albano.
Many persons are reported to have
been ca tight in the ruins of these
towns and crushed -to . death..
The various barracks in the vicinity
of the worst of the damage have been
denuded of troops, who have been
rushed to assist in the work of res
cue. The minister of the interior and
the minister of war have directed their
subordinates to do everything in their
power to aid the. victims of the quake.
When the town of Froslnone was
shaken the- prison- there was partially
destroyed. The convicts mutinied when
an attempt was made to keep them
inside the walls.- in spite -of - the -damage.
Officials here declare the quake was
the most severe ever felt here, and
they fear that a large death list will
be shown when full details are obtain
able.
Believe Austria Was Shaken.
Newport, Isle of Wight, Jan. 13.-
The "government seismograph here, to
day recorded the earthquake which
shook Rome and Italian villages in
that vicinity.
Officials here expressed the belief
that the same tremor also probably
shook Austria. They think It prob
able that, the Austrian, quake was more
severe than the Italian.

Treasurer Kay Is
Heard on Clerkship
Explains That, Though Clerk's Work
Is Son in His Office, Fay for Same
Should Hot Be JLddsd.
Salem, Or., Jan. 13. Discussing the
statement in Governor West's message
relative to the payment of $3000 in
clerk ihire for taking care of school
land payments and other matters In
connection with tho care, of th school
funds,! State Treasurer Kay said today
that over since the school fund was
created, until two years ago, it was
the practice to take care. of the clerk
hire from the receipts of the. school
land funds. Two years ago, Bays Kay,
the legislature provided In an appro
priation .from the general fund, of the
state that there should be 14800 in
the state land board appropriation for
wages, during the biennial period, of
the clerk who looks after the collec
tlon of payments and other matters in
connection with the school land fund.
Necessarily, his work is done in Kay's
office! the state treasurer says.
The! state treasurer says it would
be unfair to tack the amount of clerk
hire Accessary for the care of the
school! fund on his appropriation, even
if tho j work is done in his office.

tees are to hold meetings and give

Would Save Money-
Spent upon Census
Salem, Or., Jan. 13. Representative-
Dillard of Lane county has a hill for
the abolition of the decennial state
census, which he declares will save the
state between $50,000 and $75,000 per
year. He has attached the emergency
clause, so that the census, which would
start May 1 of this year, may be head
ed off before expensive preparations
are made for it.
"The state census Is needless, be
cause the federal., census covers the
same ground, and more besides," said
Mr. DUlard. "The only advantage it
possibly could have would be to -make I
th rmi n 1 1 -fAl romfnrtahlA hv thA '
knowledge that they may have grown
some since the federal census Iwas
taken. The-same satisfied glow could
be produced, however, by a little ex
tension of the work of the school cen
sus takers."
Confusion in Stock
Brands Prevented
Salejm, Or., Jan. 13. -For the protec
tion of stockmen from larceny of their
horseq and cattle, particularly in the
eastern Oregon country, and to prevent
confusion and loss through duplica
tion of stock brands, are the purposes
of a bill introduced by Senator W. H.
Strayer yesterday afternoon. The bill
is (senate bill number 24.
The measure confers authority' of
law upon the inspector of stock, who
Is now maintained at the Union stock
yards, Portland. by the Cattle and
Horse Raisers Association of Oregon,'
and makes his records official. It is
pointed out that this Inspection will
serve to eliminate confusion in stock
brands, as the inspector makes a rec
ord of all brands on stock brought to
the yards. I
The. bill carries no appropriation, so
here yesterday shortly after noon, had

the senate Tuesdays The bill ve
toed provided that the secretary of
state should employ a printing expert
to check all printing done by the state
printer. -
The! governor vetoed the bill, he
states! in his message,' because it at

PERMANENT LIST OF
EGISMD
VOTERS
WOULD SAVE MONEY
Card Index System for City
and Country Proposed- by
Representative Kuehn.
4alem, Or., Jan. 13. Representative
Kuehn of Multnomah county is pre
paring to make a vigorous fight on
his bill to revolutionize the system of
electoral registration. This measure
would establish a permanent registra
tion list on the card index plan, the
voter registering once and for all time
until he moves away or. dies.
The plan is adapted to both city and
country . registrations, except that in
the country there is to be a regis
trar for each township who receives
the registrations and forwards them to
the county clerk. For this work. h
would receive 10 cents per name.
Mr. Kuehn holds that one advantage
of the proposed law would be that the
naturalized citizen would not be re
quired to present his certificate of
naturalization every time he goes to
register. In fact, he would limit the
questions to be asked or the pros
pective voter, besides his or her name
and address, to two: "Are you of
legal age?" and "Are you a citizen of
the United States?" If aliens attempt
to register falsely they are as much
subject to prosecution for perjury as
If they had given their birthplace as
Holland or Sweden or Germany.
From his card Index, the county
clerk makes typewritten lists for each
precinct, the names on which will be
the official proof of registration when
the voters go to the polls. If anyone
fails to vote at any election for two
years, his card will be taken out of
the Index, but the clerk notifies him
that he has been dropped. If the 'vo
ter Is alive and resident of the same
precinct, he may notify the clerk, to
that effect and the card will be re
placed. It no reply Is received it will
be assumed that he Is dead or per
manently absent. -'
Mr. Kuehn says the bill will save
Multnomah county at least $12,000
each biennium in registration cost
after the system has been established,
as a single clerk will be able to keep
pace with the new or changed regis
trations once the list is made"tip,-.
Ask Survey for Grain Road.
Pendleton, Or., Jan. 13. Convinced
that a hard surface road over which
auto trucks and trailers may haul
their wheat would solve their prob
lem, the committee representing the
Cold Springs farmers of Umatilla
county have decided to have a pre
Hminary survey to the Columbia riv
er made to determine the approximate
cost. They have petitioned the state
to make the survey and Lyman Gris
wold, assistant state highway engi
neer, is expected9 to be here soon to
undertake the work.
Graduates at Eugene.
Eugene, Or.. Jan. 13. Twenty-six
high school students will be graduated
at the end of the first semester at the
local school. This is the first time in
the history of the school there has
been a midyear graduating class. In
previous years those who finished in
the middle of the year waiting till
June to graduate.

BEAUTYi DOCTOR TELLS
SECRET
Detroit Beauty Doctor Gives Simple
Bedpe to Darken Gray Sair and
Promote Its Growth,
Miss Alice Whitney, a well known
beauty doctor of Detroit, MiclL, re
cently gave out the following state
ment: 'Anyone can prepare a simple
mixture at ehome, at very little cost,
that will darken gray hair, promote Its
growth and make it soft and glossy.
To half a pint of water add 1 oz. of
bay rum, a small box of Barbo Com
pound and 4 oz. of glycerine. These
ingredients can be bought at any drug
store at very little cost. Apply to th
hair twice a week until the desired
shade is obtained. This will make a
gray haired person look 20 years
younger. It is also fine to promote
the growth of the hair, relieve Itching
and scalp diseases, and is excellent for
dandruff and falling hair. Adv.)
