I -Evangelist Talks of
V Kindness! of David
The Bible story of Mephibosheth as
representing God's love was used D7
Evangelist Bulgin as his text at the
Belmont street tabernacle i last night.
Of the kindness of David to Mephi
bosheth. when the latter expected noth
ing less than death Bulgin said: "This
story is a .grand picture of God's love
to man; for Mephibosheth is the type
of the poor human race crippled in
both feot. "Mephibosheth w: n not to
blame for; his crippled condition, as
his "nurse had dropped him when he
wa a baby. Like! him the human
family. was once entrusted to a nurse
by the name of Kveland she was told
to guard .n s well but! she neglected her
duty one diy when she stopped in-the
Garden of Eden to fjll her apron with
apples and! she dropped us. You may
not accept the story of the fall of.
man in the garden but unless you are
.blind you must admit that he has had
a' terrible tumble somewhere.'
Bulgin tld his hearers that he was
going to take a couple of years off
soon to study German, as that was a
far superior language to Hngllsh for
expressing trie fineri theological ideas.

Blanchard Zntrodnces Bills Savins; to
Xo With Initiative Vetltioas; Vails
Way He Thinks They Should Pass.
Salem, 'Or.; Jan. 19. Representative
E. B. Blanchard 'today introduced in
the. bouse two bills, one changing the
time for legislature sittings to 'i the
even years, and one stipulating that alt
initiative petitions to be voted on at
any general election in the state must
be on file with the secretary of state
on or before January 1, prior to the
election.
"I have felt for some time that the
usefulness of the initiative was being
Impaired Jby its being overworked both
by its friends and its 'enemies,' said
Mr. : Blanchard this morning In ac
counting for njs presentation of the
measures. "I feel that the extreme
friends of the principles are unfair to
the legislature, and because of the fric
tion between the two systems I have
sought to find a way In whieh the use
fulness of neither is impaired.
"With initiative petitions all in be
fore January 1 and the legislature
convening the second Monday in Jan
uary. 1918. the assembly will have a
chance to enact the legislation called !
ror in me pennons wiwouv uiu
vote of tha people. If it does not so
act, the people will have a chance to
enact it themselves."
Mr. Blanchard says for his bills that
If any legislative aots are unsatisfac
tory, they may be referred in June arid
voted on in the November elections, so
no special elections need be called to
vote on referred bills.
Washington Road v
Levy Is an Issue
House Members of Committee Payor
Seduction, Wall Senators Are Will
ing That It Should Bemain As Zt Is.
Olympia, Wash., Jan. 19. House
members of the road committee seem
to favor reduction in annual levy
while senate members are equally
strong for retaining the tax as it is.
This developed at the joint meeting
of the two committees. By agreement
it was decided to have a joint meeting
Thursday night to which the legis
lative committee of the State Good
Roads association and -any others In
terested will be invited and given an
opportunity to address the .committee.
Joint committees on banks and bank
ing held a meeting on pending and pro
posed legislation. The committees
voted to approve recommendations of
Walter Ii Hansen to change his title
from state examiner to state bank ex
aminer, and that the state laws mak
ing certain actions by bank officials
misdemeanors should be amended to
make the offense a felony.
Proponents of a mutual savings
bank at Seattle appeared before the
committee to urge passage of a bill
permitting their operations. They
contended the objections to such a bill
made lat session' had been obviated
by amending the measure and that the
other banks would not oppose the bill.
A number of other banking measures
suggested were referred to a sub-committee
for investigation and report.
Committees on educational Institu
tions announced that following a joint
session it had been decided to invite
the representatives of the college, state
university and three normal schools to
meet with the committee before the
committee makes its report on the

(Salem Bureau of The Jonmat.l
Salem, Or., Jan. 19. A bill changing
the judicial system -of the .state and
providing for eight additional circuit
judges Is being prepared Tsy Senator
yy Lair Thompson, president of the
senate, and is expected ' to be intro
duced in the senate in a few days. It
is probable that a number of other sen
ators will Join with Senator Thompson
in introducing the bill. .
Among the chief features of the bill
are the abolition of the office at coun
ty Judge, transferring the probate work
to the circuit courts; the creation of
a circuit court of appeals, and the
creation : of eight new circuit Judge
ships. It is argued that the saving by the
abolition of the office of county judge
will more than offset the added ex
pense to result from the eight new
circuit Judgeships, and in . addition the
outlying counties will be better served
by the circuit courts, , - "
According to the bill the circuit
judges will be apportioned as follows:
Baker, -one judge; Clackamas, one
judge; Clatsop and Columbia, one
judge; Coos and . Curry, one judge;
Crook and Jefferson, one Judge; Doug
las, one judge; Grant and Harney, one
Judge; Malheur, one judge; Jackson,
one Judge; Josephine, one judge; Klam

and Benton, two judges; Linn and Ma
rion, two judges; Gilliam and Sherman,
one judge; Morrow and Wheeler, one
judge; Umatilla, one judge; Union end
Wallowa, one Judge;. Wasco and Hood
River, one judge; Washington, - one
judge: Yamhill and Tillamook, on
judge; Polk and- Lincoln, one. judge,
and Multnomah, six judges.
- The proposed circuit, court of ap
peals would be given jurisdiction over
all cases appealed from the circuit
court in which amounts involved are
not over $600, and where titles to
property, and a number of other points
are not involved. The state would be
divided into two districts. In each
district the court would consist of
three circuit judges to be named by
the chief justice of the supreme court
In the first district the court would
sit in Portland, and in the second dis
trict it would hold sessions in Pen
dleton. -
