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.
The bill .provides that the warden of
the penitentiary shall receive the report
and perform the duties now imposed
upon the parole officer.
Senator LaFollette says he has intro--duced
the bill as a result of the ex
posure of conditions at the prison made
in the recent report of a Marlon county
grand jury which investigated the
prison. The jury reported that Parole
Officer Keller was the disturbing ele
ment at the prison.

Sidelights On
Legislature
Salem, Jan. 31. Representative D. C.
Lewis is one member of the house who
has not as yet been "doped" out as
being aligned with any faction or ele
ment. Tuesday, in the course of the
debate on the "Red Flag" bill. Repre
sentative Gordon described Lewis as a
man who patted labor on the back one
day, voted with the capitalistic faction
on another occasion and again took the
middle of the road. And Gordon seems
to have known whereof he spoke. Tues
day Lewis was aligned with the labor
delegates in opposing the "Red Flag"
blU; Wednesday he expounded ancient
history in defense of the syndicalism
bill which was bitterly opposed by la
bor; and Thursday morning, when the
"Red Flag" bill came up for final pas
sage he was absent from his seat, later
reports showing that at the time the
vote was being taken he was half way
(or thereabouts) between the state
house and the postofflce.
Although Representative I) odd fath
ered the "Dodder" bill, he disclaims
any distinction In connection with the
name of the alfalfa parasite which be
seeks to eradicate.
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. Amidon is
no longer on the state payroll as chief
clerk of the committee on reconstruc
tion. . His services were dispensed with
Thursday last, his severance from legis
lative service to commence February 3.
In announcing the action of his com
mittee Ben Sheldon, the chairman, issued
the following formal statement :
"The reconstruction committee of the
house adopted Thursday afternoon a
resolution offered by Chairman Sheldon
dispensing with the further services of
the clerk because the work before the
committee did not warrant the expense
incident to retaining such clerk."
