Union of Farmers
Would Safeguard
Emergency Clause
c -i
State Hduse, Salem, Or., Jan. 12. A
bill.-to safeguard the emergency clause
in state legislation is to be presented
as a measure backed by " the Farmers
Union of Oregon, ' according to Barnett
T. Roe of Gaston, Tamhill county, who
is here as the union's representative.
The bill provides that all measures car
rying the emergency clause Shall auto
matically go to the state supreme court
to be passed upon within 60 days to
determine whether oir not an emergency
really does exist, i If the determination
is In the negative, the bjll by decision
becomes null and void.
The Farmers' union, says Roe, believes
that the emergency clause has been at
tached to various bills in the past where,
in reality,! no; emergency existed: and
many thousands of dollars of the state's
money has thus been appropriated which'
would not ihave been done had the spe
cific situation ibeen carefully canvassed.
The union, says Roe, represents a
membership 6f ifrom 1200 to 1500
farmers ot Oregon. . who ; ask for the
passage of the proposed measure.

HYDROELECTRIC
COMMISSION OF 3
IS URGED IN BILL
State House, Salem, Or., Jan. 12.
A bill providing lor a hydro-electric
commission of three members,
appointed by the governor, to serve
without salary and to make report
to the legislature of 1923, was intro
duced in I the senatef by Senator
Joseph today.
The central object of the measure is
to provide a means for investigating the
cost of constructing, a power dam across
the Columbia river at Celilo. Such a
dam, as an; incident, would include locks
to carry' vessels above and below the
dam, while; the construction of the dam
would raise the water level at the Celilo
rapids to such an extent; that they
would be obliterated and there would be
no impediment in the river except the
locks. Suoh a scheme would, in all prob
ability, require an expenditure of from
$20,000,000 to 840,000,000,
SURVEY IS REQUIRED
The commission Is also required to
make a survey relative to the possibili
ties of creating, hydro-electric power in
the state of Oregon and especially in the
Columbia river gorge and to determine
in a general waV the probable cost of
generating electric power in the different
unit of development and the amount of
energy measured by. the horse power
which might be generated m the differ
ent units. Under what is known as the
water power bill, recently passed by con
gress, certain units of development have
been reserved from private location or
appropriation with the view ot the
United States or states joining in the
developing ithe same.
CELILO FALLS AS UJffIT
One of the units reserved is Celilo
falls where, it is estimated that 2,000,000
hydro-electric horse power can be gen
erated. The United States secures its
authority for- such development under
the power given to it to develop rivers
and harbors in aid of commerce and nav
igation and the state or states should
be enabled to join in the development in
order to take advantage of the great sav
ing which would be made In the develop
ment by reason of the contribution made
by the government. Trunk noes for the
transmission of the power would run to
the different centers where the power
would be used and any users would be
allowed to tap these lines upon payment
of the cost of the power, plus an amount
sufficient to retire any bonds issued at
the end of 40 years, or such other time
as might be provided. I
IJSFOHMATIOK IS AIM
The Joseph bill is merely for the pur
pose of securing such information as
will allow a following legislature to in
telligently consider the matter and enact
such legislation as may be justified by
the circumstances.
The hydro-electric commission of On
tario, Canada, is the largest distributor
of electric energy, having taken over
many of the hydro-electric plants for
merly generating power at Niagara falls.
and sells power . at the rate of $18 per
horse power per year, which is less than
that of any state in the ' union east'
of the Pacific slope, and much less than
the price for which the same can be
purchased on the Pacific slope.
SOUTH DAKOTA ACTIVE
At the present time seven cities in
South Dakota are holding a convention
for the purpose of adopting a method of
raising, 20,000,K)00 to construct a hydro
electric dam on one of the power sites
on the Missouri river. In 1917 the leg
islature of North Dakota empowered the
state to purchase a Bite and establish
a power plant which Was approved by
the voters in 1918. A hydro-electric
commission was also created in the
1919 legislature, which, reported in favor
of the project.
Initiative Action on
Roosevelt Highway
Is Being Considered
State House, Salem, Or., Jan. 12. Va
rious members of the state senate. In
cluding those whose districts lie along
the Pacific ocean, are seriously consid
ering an amendment to the Roosevelt
highway 12,500,000 bonding act. :
When the act, which led all the rest
when it was submitted' to the people at
the special election of June, 1919, was
drafted, , it contained the provision that
the state should provide $2,500,000 of
money for the construction, contingent
upon a like sum being expended by the
federal government Jointly.
It alsq provided that the government
should assume the maintenance of the
highway; once it was completed. " I
Congress did .not appropriate the
money, though' the Oregon delegation
and other representatives of the state
who went to Washington to urge the
appropriation were given a great deal of
encouragement. -
It is now being debated by members
of " the j present legislature whether it
would hot lead to earlier action on the
part of congress if Oregon would show
not only its faith In the proposed high
way but its determination to have it by
starting construction. - ;
Bill Providing for
60-Day Legislative
Session Is Again Up
State Jlouse, Salem. Or., Jan. 12. The
60 day legislative amendment: to the
state constitution submitted to the peo
ple by the 1919 session and defeated by
a narrow margin at the 1920 general
election, is scheduled to go before the
voters at the next general election for
another chance at adoption.
Senator Hare, Ttfho was one of the
sponsors of the amendment in the 1819
session,! will probably reintroduce it to
day, with the provision that it be sub
mitted to the people at the next elec
tion. The senator holds the opinion
that the 6tt day amendment was lost by
the narrow margin by which it was de
feated because of the fact that both it
and the divided session amendment were
on the ballot at the same time. ; He be
lieves that the people of the state desire
some plan by which the Jam and Jumble
of the closing days of the legislative ses
sions may be avoided, and is of the opin
ion that the 60 day session would go as
far as possible to accomplish this reform.
A taper caliper has been invented for
tool makers . which can .be locked in

IN NOUS
AMAZES
GEORGE RECALLS
0 0-11
Stato House, Salem, Jan. 12.-Judge M.
C. George of Portland, who was a visitor
at the convening of the legislature Mon
day, was the oldest Oregon ! legislator
In the capitol building that day.
Judge George, in me days of far ago,
was just as staunch a Republican as he
was Monday when he came to Salem to
attend the meeting of the Oregon presi
dential electors. Jn 1872 he was a Re
publican candidate .for the legislature
from Linn county, running, against
George R. Helm, the "Young Lion of
Linn." who was u Democrat; ,and who
defeated him. Two years laier, in the
campaign of 1871, Judge George again
ran for the legislature, this time against
K. H. Crayner, and was again defeated.
"I thought that was notice for me to
quit," the judge explained, in relating
his early experiences jn Oregon politics,
"so 1 moved down to Multnomab county,
where a Republican had a chjance even
in those days." " j
In 1876 Judge George vindicated his
political cutneti by being elected to the
state senate. , and either in that session
or in the session of 187S was a; candidate
for president of the .senate against
Whittaker, afterwards elected governor.
Again the judge was unlucky, being de
feated, for In those days the Oregon
legislature,; strange as it may now seem,
was Democratic. According to; the recol
lection of the Judge the session of 1878
saw the last Democratic legislature in
the history idf the state.
The veteran legislator. Jurist and con
gressman says he saw but little differ
ence between the opening dajn of Mon
day and the eimilar events lrj the Ion,?
ago, twhlch seems to show that Oregon
legislators have always been and prob
ably always will be the same, j

EMERGENCY AND
CONTROL
BOARDS
MAY BE DIVORCED
State House, Salem, Jan. 12.
Divorcement ;of the members of the
state board of control from any con
nectlon with the emergency board is
In the minds of some of the leaders
of the senate and house, and la alU
probability, will take the form of a1
bill for early presentation. .:
At the present time the state faces a
deficiency of nearly $500,000, voted by
the emergency board at different times
during the last biennlum. The board
consists of the governor, secretary of
state, state treasurer, president of the
senate, speaker 'of the house, chairman
of the senate ways and means commit
tee and chainran of the house ways and
means commijlee. . '
The governor, secretary or etate ana
state treasurer also compose the board
of control, and are charged with the
conduct of state institutional and other
business. In other words, they comprise
the money spending board of the state
government.
i Past history has shown that they have
been in- the habit of securing about what
they wish when it comes to meetings
of the emergency board, which is called
Into session at the discretion of the sec
retary of state.
Some members of the legislature have
concluded that it would, be better to
separate the' spending agency of the
government from the deficiency voting
power. It is argued that a board con
sisting of three members of the house
ways and means committee and two
members of the senate committee would
be the best solution of the problem with
the possible proviso that the president
of the senate and speaker of the house
might be placed on the committee,
should it be determined after considera
tion of the change from all angles that
this would strengthen the board.
Several informal conferences have been
held by senate and house leaders at
which this question has been discussed.
and It is understood that as a result of
these meetings an amendatory bill be
drafted providing for the rearrangement
of the personnel of the emergency board.
