PASSES HOUSE; ONLY

Brown of Marion Makes Only
Speech Against Workmen's
Act Amendment.
Nalm riur-Hti of The .lonrnat.
Salem, fcr., T-Vb. 2. With the dis
senting vote of but two members. Bar
vow of Coos county, and Thomas
Urown, of Marlon, the house this morn
ning passed the Schnebel b.ll strength
ening the workmen's compensation act
in Oregon. Mr. Brown was the only
member who made a plea against the
bill, which- sme(3 the present law to
reclassify the employes according to
their hazards. Mr. Clark of Gilliam
aftked to be excused from voting and
Mr. Jrvin and Wesley O- Smith Iter
absent.
When the bill came up for passage,
Thomas -Brown moved tnat a eonimit
te be appointed from the house to
confer with a like committee from the
senate and consider the various com
pensation bills now pending. He de
clared that the matters are of such
sei'ions import that they must not be
lightly hurried throagh. He com
plained that the waiting period of six
days before .compensation shall begin
had been eliminated from the bill, and
that, as drawn, the measure shuts out
competing casualty companies.
Strong Forces Favor.
Mr. EJaton answered that now is the
time to settle the question because it
is favored by the industrial accident
commission, by the la bar forces, and
by the -employers of labour. To defer
action would be to prevent the accom
plishment cf what the people demand
a better law and a better protection
for labor.
Mr. Brown was openly charged with
favoring the casualty companies and
he replied that he did not consider it
fair that his motives should be im
pugned because he did favor them. He
denied any vicious purpose, but assert
ed that business lias been harassed un
til capital won't stay in Oregon. Ije
favored the Michigan law, which, is
covered in a bill introduced by Senator
Bingham in the senate, and under it,
he said, 95 per cent of the employers
of Michigan are now workings He de
clared the Oregon law costs $75,000 in
administration, while the Michigan law
costs only $35,000.
The motion to refer was overwhelm
ingly lost and the debate, on the merits
of the bill began. Schuebel. author of
the bill, declared the present measure
is favored by every employer of labor
who. favored the idea of compensation

Wild Claims of Economy Made
Discussion of legislative mattery by Ex-Governor West will be a
daily feature of The Journal during the session of the legislature.
I i i iMfc.i i i i iim
licitynouldUiekiven the plan submitted until tin opportunity to look into
its merits . anci a turiucr meeting was nau.
It-now-develops that tbe proposed plan had been long prepared and
was part of a steam-roller program which certain senators hoped to.ptft
throtrgh. - h-its-anxiety to carry out this program, the senate -committee
ignored- it obligations to the house and gave the matter to the press, and
with the information that it would save $500,000 annually to tbe taxpayers.
Saving That Is Not a Saving
It now develops that the total annual appropriations of the boards
and commissions it is proposed to consolidate or abolish (based on 1913-14
appropriations) amount to just about thesaid sum of $500,000, and that to
accomplish a like saving all said boards would have to be abolished out
right.. An analysis of the proposed plan-will show how wild was tbe
statement as to economy given out to the press.
Department 1, State Board of Control There being no change in this
department, no saving would be made. .
No. 2, Department of Education A new board to be created consist
ing of the superintendent of public instruction and four persons to be ap
pointed by the governor. This board would take over the duties of the
state board of education, state textbook commission, board of higher cur
ricula, O. A C. hoard of regents, U. of O. board of regents, and the board
of regents of the State Normal school.
Might Mean Added Expense
Inasmuch as these are all non-salary boards, not to exceed $1000 per
annum would be saved by this consolidation. Furthermore, if the four
appointed members of the proposed new board draw salaries, the sug
gested change can maen nothing but added expense. If, on the other hand,
the positions are to be non-salaried, it will simply mean that one man; the
superintendent of public instruction.'by reason of his being continually on
the job, will control and dictate the policy of every educational institution
and department in the state. -'
