.THE OIUXON DAILY JOUK1JAL, PORTLAND. Q?JZGOU. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13. 1" 3 it':, VT 1 I 60-DAV SESSION Hffl S5 PER DAY, PROPOSED CHANGE : Seven propoMd amendments to the state constitution and four measures 11 propositions in Jill arc to be submitted to the rotors of Oregon (or their approval or rejection, at the general election to be held on Tues day, November 2. For the Informa tion of the voters these various pro posals will be summarised end their provisions stated In brief form, corn er! enc in r with the first to appear on the' ballot and continue In the order in which they will be found there. All are Important, some of vital mo ment to the future welfare of the state and its cltisens. Because of this every voter owes a duty not only to the public but to himself in dividually to digest these different amendments and measures and to register bis vote for or against each accord Ins to the,, conclusion he reaches as to the wisdom or unwis dom of each. .The second proposal to appear on the state ballot bears tile ballot tl-tl- of "constitutional amendment regulating legislative sessions and the payment of legislators." In brief, the amendment proposes to lengthen the regular sessions of the legislature from 40 to SO days and to Increase the compensation of the members from $3 to $5 a day. There is a current impression among the people of the state that the consti tution, now limits the length of the regu lar sessions of the legislature to 40 days, but, this is not the case. It Is the com 'pensation of the members that accom plishes that limitation in (he great ma polity of the sessions, for the constitu tion merely provides that the members of the legislature "shall receive for their services a sum not exceeding $3 a day, from the commencement of the session ; but such pay shall not exceed In the aggregate $120 per diem allowance for any one session." - M DATS PROPOSED. This total divided by three makes 40, and that Is usually as many days as any session continues, for when the pay stops It stops. Extra sessions are definitely limited to 20 days by the constitution. The proposed amendment, which is to section 29 of article 4 of the constitution, says specifically that "the legislative session shall not exceed 60 days in dura tion of actual working days and the members of the legislative assembly shall receive for their services a sum not to exceed $300 per member." The amend ment also cares for the special session by providing that "When convened in extra, session by the governor they (the .members) shall receive a sum not to ex ceed the sum of $5 per day ; but no extra session shall continue for a longer period an 20 days. This then is the gist of the amend ment so far as it relates to the length Of the seusion and the compensation of the members : it extends the session to SO days and raises the compensation to $5, although, and this point has not been much commented upon by the propon ents of the measure, it would be possi- ;h bl tmder Its terms for ths full S300 4O be paid a "member even though the regu lar session continued for only ten days. 3TO FEB DIEM FIXED V There Is. in other words.' nothing in .the amendment to prevent a SO day reg ular sessions nor is there anything in its terms that would prevent ths payment of ths llOfffor such a session, for no per diem is fixed for the regular session. There is another and Important sec tion contained to the amendment relat ing to ths Introduction of bills. It says: "No bill shall be Introduced after the fortieth day of the session except ap propriation bills or-bills pertaining to ths- defense of the stateor nation, except by unanimous consent of the members of the legislative assembly obtained on roll call." The purpose of this provision is to confine ths attention of the legislature during the last 20 days of a 10 day ses sion ' to the final consideration of all bills other than those falling under the exceptions given. TO ATOID JAM It Is an attempt to do away with the customary jam and turmoil which marks the closing days of every legislature. Whether It would be effective is a ques tion since the rules under which, the legislature "how works provide that no new bills may be introduced after the twentieth day except appropriation bills ; a rule which is continually defeat ed by introduction of new bills under unanimous consent. , ? There Is this difference between the provisions of the rule snd the' proposed amendment, however : for, while under the rule a two-thirds vote may sus pend the rule and Jet a new bill in, under the amendment it would seem that the negative vote of one member. either In the house or senate, would bar the introduction, for the amend ment calls for the "unanimous consent of the members of the legislative as sembly obtained on rollcall." Incident ally, the power of this one negative vote would put a tempting weapon in the hands of any member who might be inclined to do a little filibustering during the closing days of a session. ARGUMENTS G1YEW It is argued by the proponents of the amendment, which was referred to the people by the 1919 session of the legislature, that its adoption would in crease the working time of the session by about 25 days, for Sundays and holidays would be excluded in the com putation of the session's duration. It s also argued that the amendment lim its the compensation to $5 per day. which Is true, should the session run for 60 days, but not should it be cur tailed to 40 or less, for the compensa tion of each member is limited to $300 for the session, not to $5 per day. ex cept In special sessions. Those who decide that the provisions of the amendment are sound and should be adopted will vote "302 X Yes." those who are against the adoption of the amendment should note "803 X No." BAKER GIVES GLAD HAND TO PORTLAND Chamberlain Will Visit Linn Towns Albany.

We are glad you are here to meet the men whose money you have been taking for the past 25 years." VISION IS BLUBBED "Until recently Portland business men have thought that Portland was Ore gon. You have thought of Baker as a town Of shacks and sage brush, where the dust was knee deep and the men were rude and uncultured. Beyond The Dalles all Eastern Oregon was mystery to you. "Let me tell you some facts. Our merchants say your prices on men's clothing are higher than elsewhere, that your ladies' ready-to-wear suits are too high, your druggist's supplies higher than elsewhere, and the service is not good. "We can buy fish cheaper in Seattle than in Portland. On furniture and many .other lines Portland's prices are better than elsewhere. "Baker is the gateway to Eastern Ore gon. Tou need good roads leading to Portland or you won't get the tourists. Portland is more than lax In not pro viding camp ground for auto tourists. "Irrigation made Idaho. It can make Oregon. We have 120.000 acres in our county needing irrigation, we have the water and the sites, but we need the cash. We need Portland's help to se cure irrigation. We need better mall service. .
