THE OREGON PAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, i FRIDAY. JANUARY . 31. 1919. ' ! - . I i A-1 T i i' Senator's DOMESTIC COURT BILL OPPOSED BY SENATOR ORTON ' ; . 1 - .... - I- Multnomah Man Would Be Ugis 1 lated Out of Clerkship If Pro- posed Measure Is Passed. WOMEN TO THE RESCUE : Delegation to Visit Salem Today I to Take Up Cudgel in Behalf P of Bill They Are Backing. Salem, Jan. 31. When Senator A. W. Orton Is not here making laws for the people of Oregon he holds down a Job In Portland as clerk of the county and Juvenile court. Senator Hus.ton has introduced a bill Which provides for the establishment of court of domestic relations, which would supplant the present Juvenile court In Multnomah county. If that bill becomes alaw, Senator Orton -will lose hU Job as clerk of the Juvenile court. These facts should be understood, as they may explain Orton 's determination to kill Huston's bill. "I will never let that bill get through the senate." is the boast Orton has made. And he is in a fair way to make his boast rood, as friends of the bill say Orton is pledging members to vote against it and is having considerable uccess. He is said to be trading his support for any old bill In order" to get votes against this one. Women welfare workers and the Port land Grade Teachers' association are trongly urging the passage of the bill. Theyicame to Salem in great force the other1 night to argue in favor of the bill. Log Boiling Is Good But Senator Orton has the advantage of them as he is on the ground where the log rolling is good. He is being assisted by A. A. Bailey, chief probation officer of the Juvenile court, another one who might lose his Job If the Huston bill should beeojne a law. Another lieutenant on the ground la Jj. D. Cole of Tortland.-a sort of pro fessional lobbyist. The bill is still in the hands of the Multnomah delegation In the senate, which-Is divided on the question. Sen ators Huston. Farrell and Gill are sup porting the bill. A proposition has been made to some ef the members of the Multnomah dele gation by Bailey that they will with draw thein opposition to the bill if its supporters will consent to an amend ment, which will retain the present county court and Its jurisdiction over ; widows' pensions. . They suggest that the rourt of domes tic relations take over the Juvenile court work and the Fraxer home. In other words, they will withdraw their opposition if 'they can have the bill amended so they will save their Jobs. Women to Hake Fight Senator Huston communicated the aituatlon 'to some of the Portland women who have been most active In urging his bill and thpy will come to Salem today. Until they are consulted the members of the Multnomah delega tion, who are supporting the bill, will not determine the extent to which they' should consent to have the bill amended. Mr. Cole is also urging the enactment of Representative Lofgren's bill, which would elevate County Judge Taswell to the circuit court bench. Senator Huston said that so far as he is personally concerned he would be willing to let them pass a bill raising the county court to the circuit court bench if opposition to the court of do mestic relations is withdrawn. ' And so the merry fight goes on, and Important laws hang on the question of whether a certain senator can retain his Job as clerk of a juvenile court. Political Skids Are Ready for Parole Officer Joe Keller Salem. Jan. 31. Senator A. M. L.a Follette of Marion county introduced in the senate Thursday afternoon what is Intended as a plan to put the "skids" under State Parole Officer Joe Keller, who has been the center and alleged source of most of the trouble which has marked the history of the state peniten tiary during recent years, under the ad ministration of Governor Vithyeombe.

SERVICE NEEDED BY SECRETARY OLCOTT Complaint Made to Senator Chamberlain Against Policy Said to Be Inconsistent. Salem, Jan. 31. Since the war depart ment Is anxious; to find employment for the soldiers who are being discharged from military service. Secretary of State Olcott is at a loss to undjgfistand why It has been Impossible for former em ployes In his office tb secure their re lease from service so they may resume their old positions in his office. Secretary Olcott has been holding the places for his men who entered military service, and now that the legislature is on, he is badly in need of having them back in their old places. Four of his old employes, who are now in various branches of the service, have been doing all they could to obtain their discharge and he has been lending every assistance In an endeavor to convince the army officers that the men should be re leased, but so far all efforts have been without result. Mr. Olcott sent another telegram last night to Senator Chamberlain relative to Lieutenant J. B. Young, who was chief auditor In the secretary of state's office' when he resigned to voluntarily enlist in 1917. He had been advised that Young would be discharged February 1, and based on that information Mr. Olcott released Young's substitute, and then word came that Lieutenant Young could not get his discharge at that time. "Don't -understand the attitude pf the government in view of their heralded cry for work for returned soldiers." says Olcott In his message to Senator Cham berlain. "I have endeavored for two months to secure the release of four enlisted employes for reinstatement in their old positions. They are badly needed here. In no instance have I succeeded in securing their discharge. It is discouraging." Decapitation Puts Amidon Out of His Job as Chief Clerk Salem. Jan. 31. Elmer L.
