THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL", TORT LAND, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27. 1919. k. SCHEME FOR AIDE TO GOVERNOR NOT : MAKING HEADWAY Friends of Olcott Win Initial Battle on House Bill; Sponsors Play politics, It Is Charged. DEVELOPMENTS COME TODAY Opponents of Bill Say III Health Of Governor Is Poor Excuse to Push Constitution Change. (Contlmu-d From Page'One) vious question In order to shut off de bate. This roused Senator Banks and Sena tor Patterson. Senator Banks declared that tlia action was In line with the other unfair tactics employed by Mo ser. He told them to go ahead witn their unfatr tactics and they would have to answer to the Eteople. Senator Patterson pointed an accus ing finger at Moser and reminded him ! that a day or two ago a bill of Mo i ser" was indefinitely postponed and t when Moeer asked for reconsideration ' of it Patterson, although stating he was opposed to the bU, voted for the I reconsideration in -order to give Moser 1 a chance to f igrht for his bill. Now Moser was attempting: to resort to , unfair tactics to shut off considera tion of this resolution, he said. Dancer Ahead for Republican Moser made the ixlnt of order that the motion was not debatable. The motion was put and was voted down. Senator Huston opened the debate then. He said he was in favor of the prindpleof having a lieutenant gov ernor, but he considered it very poor pol itics on the part of the Republican party at this time, and was merely putting ammunition in the hands of the Demo crats, He opposed th'e resolution. He was followed by Senator Banks, who eald he agreed with Senator Hus ton that it would be better to have a lieutenant governor, but he wanted to know why it would not be wise for the Republican senators to do the thing which will bring success by submitting this question at the general election in 1920, instead of the special election. He called upon the members to con sider he Interests of the Republican party and rise above pledges and trades that may have been made on this ques tion. He said he was not speakingafrom any personal Interest in Secretary of State Olcott, as he did not vote for Ol cott in the Republican primary election, but rather supported Simpson, but since Olcott was secretary of state he had a constitutional right, which should be recognized. Predicts Early Defeat ' He predicted that if. the resolution is - passed it will disrupt the Republican party, and declared it was not right. He further predisted that the resolu tion will be defeated if it is submitted at a special election, just as sure as the sua rises and sets,- while if it is sub mitted at the general election it will " have a chance of pqsage. "When they tell me that this is at the governor's request," he said, "and I see the men on the floor of the senate sup porting it who have never been friends of the governor I want to tell you their motive is not in the interest of the gov ernor." He said he knew what the game was when adjournment was taken last night. -"I knew that all the power of the ex ecutive office would .be exercised to change the votes of those who voted against them yesterday," he said. "They are changing the honest opinion of sen ators to order to carry out their pet scheme. It is hot right. It is not good politics. It will not do." People Know What They Want Senator Eddy said the position taken by the opponents of the resolution was illogical as they say they favor creating the office of lieutenant governor but think that if the resolution is submitted to a special ' election it would interfere with the secretary .of state. He insisted that the secretary of state had no claim upon the governorship and it was good What Makes and Iron?

"I undertake to say that the people of Oregon know what they want, and they knew what they didn't want when twice they voted down the question of creat ing the office of lieutenant governor," he said. - Asserts It's Poor Polities r r n .j Ai x , d. n.t , ui j i rresolution, brought into the senate by persona who thought they were poli ticians, but he said it was the poorest piece of politics he ever saw, coming from persons who did not seem to ia v sense enough to know what good poli tics is. We wanted to know if these poli ticians could not see farther ahead than the end of their nose, as their proposi tion is based on the theory that the peo ple are a bunch of fools who did not know what they were doing in the past. "The people will next want to know wTtat is behind this," he said. "It will not take them long to find out that it is a move to slap Ben Olcott. But I undertake to say that this move will make Ben Olcott the strongest man in the Republican party." Senator Patterson said be had thought yesterday and had hoped that the mem bers mt the Benate were In favor of creating the office of lieutenant gov ernor, but be said it was shown here this morning that a majority are not in favor of a lieutenant governor or else they are very much misguided. Salary Question Vexes He cited the uncertainty relative to the salary to be paid the lieutenant governor. As the resolution reads the lieutenant governor will draw a salary of $10 a day while president of the sen ate and it is contended that he is much president of the senate when the legislature is not in session as when it is in session and therefore -the lieu tenant governor would draw a salary of $3650 a year for doing nothing more than presiding over the session once every two years. Senator Patterson said the people ' of the state will object to that uncertainty Senator La Follett rapped the resolu tion, while Senator Pierce said the de bate among the Republicans had been intensely amusing to him. He wanted to know why they wanted a lieutenant governor and argued against partisan' ship government. He said he was opposed to the reso lution because it would have not the slightest chance of being passed, and declared it would be an insult to the people to put it on the ballot after they had twice voted it down. Senator Handley said one of the best arguments in favor of a lieutenant gov ernor are the steam roller tactics resort ed to by the senate organization, headed by Senator Moser. Steam Roller Tactics Seen Referring to the statement made by Senator Thomas that the people of the state had turned down woman suffrage several times before they finally adopt ed it. Senator Handley pointed out that the people themselves had initiated the woman suffrage amendment and had. worked for it until they got it. "This legislature never referred thkt question to the people," he pointed out, "but it has overworked itself in re ferring the question ef creating the of fice of lieutenant governor." He again cited the salary provision and the fact that the steam roller -had kicked out the amendment offered by Smith of Coos to correct the uncertainty. He charged steam roller and unfair tactics all through the effort to put through the? resolution. At this time Senator Banks moved to go into committee of the whole to con sider the Smith amendment. This motion was carried and Senator Banks offered the amendment. Senator Thomas opposed the amendment, as he said it was only a lady like method of killing the amendment as It would not again get by the house if it was sent back. Afraid Of Hosts Action He said the issue was not .whether Ben Olcott was going to be governor as the people at the last election rejected him for governor and chose Withycombe. He lauded Withycombe as a great war governor and declared he had endeared himself to the hearts of the people for Men of Blood of Stamina, Force Will War Help Make New Race of Super-men With Strength and En durance Like Athletics of Old? three million rveoDle annuallv as a tonic strength, and blood-builder, is in itself an evidence of tremendous public confi- dence and I am convinced that if others would take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak and run-down, it would help make f Wronger, healthier men and women If you are not strong or well you owe It to yourself to make the following test : See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired.

UiU)(4ieu.Af fV i 9- the sacrifices he made by sticking by his duties during the great strain when his son was ill In Washington. He said the governor's present condition of health, is due entirely to the fact that the gov ernor remained at his desk and did. not shield bis health. When the soldier boys return, he said tha senators will find out who the boys think have been playing politics in this thing. Senator Moser said that while Senator Hurley Is talking about politics, he knew that over In tha bouse there is an organization waiting to indefinitely postpone the resolution if it is -sent over there. They are Just waiting for this resolu tion to come over there ' with any sort of amendment in order to give it decent burial," be said. He urged the senators who had earlier voted to disregard the action of yesterday to stand by their guns and not allow any amendment to be made. He argued that the proposed amend ment offered by Banks wu unnecessary. "Lsgal Light Is Sosgfet Senator Huston asked Moser if he did not serve on the emergency board during tha past two years, and if that was not because he. was president ,of the senate. Senator Moser admitted that was the case, that he was president of the senafe all the while, but he insisted that the same situation would not exist in. con nection with a lieutenant governor. MThose who voted as friends of the governor, he pleaded, "should vote as frnds -of the governor now and turn down this amendment." Senator Banks reminded the senators that the question discussed by Senator Thomas about Withycombe being a great war governor had nothing to do with the question at issue, which is whether the lieutenant governor shall receive a salary of S10 a day the .year round or only during the legislative session. He pointed out that the resolution provides that the lieutenant governor shall be president of the senate, and he insulted that he becomes president of the senate the minute he is elected. He charged again that improper influence had been brought to bear upon senators last night and this morning to change the honest conviction of some of the senators.. Senator Smith of Coos said if the pro vision relative to the salary is not cleared up it will defeat the resolution at the hands of the people, and he sug gested it be referred to the attorney general. On motion of Senator Eddy the committee of the whole arose and re ported progress in order to have time to rerer tne question involved to the at torney general's office. When the proposed constitutional amendment was brought before the sen ate with a favorable report from the resolutions committee. Senator Handley was the first o open fire upon it in the discussion Wednesday. Have Conditions Changed! He pointed out that twice the people of Oregon have turned down the prop osition by large majorities, and he did not favor the legislature resubmitting the question to the people unless an emergency exists which did not exist at the time the people expressed their will. He declared that no emergency exists which justifies the passing of the reso lution. He said the only excuse for the proposed amendment was the fact that Governor Withycombe is in poor health, but be believed the governor would live to serve his term. He highly praised Governor Withycombe as "the grand old man of Oregon." If a vacancy should occur In the of fice of governor, he pointed out that Ben W. Olcott. the secretary of state, would become acting governor, and he cited the fact that Olcott was elected to his present office by the bjggest vote ever given an official in the state of Oregon- He pointed to a .joker in the prooosed amendment in the form of the provision which says the lieutenant governor shall receive a salary of $10 a day for the time he is president of the senate. He declared that he will be president of the senate during his entire term, and the result will be that he will draw a salary of $3650 a year! Sponsors Play Politics 'This is nothing but a piece of iol- itics and very poor politics at that." he said. ' This is a proposition which we should not slip over in the eleventh hour, he continued. "It is absolutely uncalled for." Be cited a situation which would oc cur if the governor should die before the amendment was adopted and the secretary of state should become acting governor and then should be called upon to appoint a lieutenant governor, and he said the highest legal department of the state could not say whether the secretary or state wouia continue asV governor or whether the lieutenant gov ernor would become governor. I suppose some one will raise the objection that if the secretary; of . state becomes governor he would have two votes on the board of control," he said. Senator LaPollett jumped up and de clared he wished there, were 500 Olcott votes on the board of control, as he is the only official who objected to an in crease being made in his salary. I am not afraid to speak in favor of. the amendment," . eaid Senator Thomas, when Senator Banks asked it there was anyone who was . going . to speak in its iavor as he wanted to an swer them. "I am not playing politics." A confusion of "ahems" from the sen ators .who are aware of Senator Thomas' ambitions to go to congress, interrupted him. Should Eliminate Trading Continuing his argument. Senator Thomas said a lieutenant governor was desired as a means to eliminating the biennial contest for the presidency of the senate, with its usual trading of committee places. He also insisted that it would be) a fine thing if the state now had a lieutenant governor who could step into, the governor's chair and relieve James Withycombe of the duties of state so he could, seek health. He also dwelt upon the fact that if the secretary of state. became governor he would have two votes on the board of control. Senator Banks made reply, declaring the real reasons behind the proposed amendment are political. "I want to say right .now this is the biggest mistake the Republican senators have made," he said, "as its purpose Is only to keep Secretary of State Olcott from becoming governor in the event of possible contingencies." He pointed to the statement that had been made that Governor Withycombe favored the amendment and expressed the opinion that under his present con dition of health the governor was yield ing to poor advisers, and giving expres sion to opinions which he would not bold if he were in the vigor of health. He cited the fact that at the last primary election, Olcott ran second highest in the list of candidates for gov ernor. thus showing that he was the peoples' second choice for governor. He called the amendment unfair, un just, unwise, and said it was not good sense to try to force through a resolu tion at the hist hour which will disrupt the Republican party. ; . Two Votes Harped oa s Senator Moser wanted to know why the objection to the amendment, if the speakers against it felt so sure the people would vote It down. He repeated the argument about i the two votes ' on the board of 'control. He argued that nearly every state in the Union has a lieutenant governor and Oregon should have one to preside over the senate., "X never was in an Oregon legislature where there baa been so much legisla tion introduced to cast reflection upon some official, as here," said Senator Hurley. He said be could see nothing in tne amendment at this time except a desire to cast a reflection on Secretary of State Olcott for fear he will become governor because of the serious condition of the governor's health. Senator Patterson said he did not be lieve the people of Oregon wanted any official to name his successor, and that the people would not approve the amend ment as it now reads. A motion was made, and carried, to go into committee of the whole to consider amendments. In committee of the . whole. Senator Patterson offered an amendment pro viding that the constitutional amend ment be submitted to the people at the general election ir. 1920, rather than at the special election to be held June 3. Senator Moser opposed the amend ment offered by Patterson, and insisted that the resolution should be left just as it passed the house. The same post tion was taken Hy Senator Wood, who said be" was afraid if tha resolution was amended at this bite hour the house would not pass it, and the resolution would be killed entirely. Senator Thomas declared the change offered by Patterson was a gentle, lady like method of administering chloroform to the resolution, because everybody knew that the house would not accept the change at such a late hour. When the Patterson amendment was put to a viva voce vote. Senator Nor blad. who was In the president's chair. refused to heed the cries for a division and declared the motion was lost. This brought a statement from Senator Banks that such unfair tactics was another reason why the resolution should be voted down. 'Senator Norblad then backed up and said he would allow a division if the senators wanted it- A division was had and the Patetrson amendment was car ried with 16 votes. Beal Battle to Com Senator Smith offered an amendment to clarify the language to make it cer tain that the lieutenant governor would not draw salary when the legislature was not 1ft session, but before the mo tion could be put to a vote. Senator yoser moved to rise and report prog ress, in is last motion carried. INDUSTRIAL WAR PENDS IN LONDON (Continued Prom Pace One) March 15 and to prevent all future strikes. There were indications that the miners, at their conference today, would over ride the extremists and follow the coun sels of Robert Sfnfllie, a moderate, who is in favor of postponing the strike until the government commlssidh of inquiry makes its report at the 'end of next month. Deep national Interest centers upon the industrial conference. One of the questions before it was a minimum wage for workmen and a maximum work day. The labor minister, in opening the conference, said : "The government Is making all pos sible speed with the housing problem and the reduction of the price of food. "As for shorter hours, already 3,000, 000 workmen have had their work day shortened." Premier Not Present Sir Robert asked the conference to take up first the problem of unemploy ment, adding that the premier was anx ious to take part in the discussions. However, he was not present. Sir Robert referred to present condi tions as unparalleled and spoke sympa thetically of the reasons for the indus trial unrest. Whatever merit the grievances might have, he said, a continuance of the dis putes would be a menace to the coun try. Announcement was made that the gov ernment had decided to reduce the un employment situation. J. B. Brownlee of the Engineers union declared that Sir Robert had "skimmed only the surface in his 'speech." He was applauded.
