Legislature SOLDIER AID BILLS j VIRTUALLY BEADY; v J State House, Salem, Or., Jan. 17. - The bills for ex-service men aid fhere will be two of them which will be Introduced In the house by the soldier delegation, representa- Hva W rtr r ml 1 ' T .on ti a TH "Marsh. Pierce, Hammond and Johnson, are practically whipped Into shape, and may be introduced the latter part of this week, subject to revision by 4he American Legion legislative com mittee, to meet here tonight. : PROVISIONS OF lOAlf The loan bill will provide, in brier, foar loans up to m ?2000 limit, made to "former service men with honorable drs-r charges, who Were residents-of 'Oregon ,at the time of the war and who are lilt residents, . on tha basis of 1 100 for each month of service ; the loan to be ttor the purpose of acquiring home prop erty, or improvement of property already owned, the loan to be secured by. rnor .gage on such property. The loan is not ,to exceed 75 per cent of. the cash value of such property and will carry 4 per "cent Interest, with a moratorium fea ture. CASH BOM'S FEAT CUE The bonus bill would provide for a payjnent of $25 for each month of serv ice to both male Bard females in the soldiers, sailors or marine wings of services who werff- residents of Oregon during the war and are still residents, aid would extend up to and include the .grade of captains.1 No such compensa tion is to be allowed to persons who . were in training camps at the time of I .the war's closing, or to conscientious ob- i jectors or men ,who received additional .compensation such as in the spruce camps, etc., or to soldiers who have al ready received state benefits in excess of what would be their allowance under this bill.' i ARGUMENTS ADVANCED vision are, -that it wojrlci 1t4 to make permanent citizens offOregon of young men who may now hWe a tendency to become migratory, thus creating a clti ssen and taxpayer of responsibility ; that tH would extend- employment and the market for home products and would create taxable property to the direct benefit of the state, and encourage thrift. The "ways and means" for putting through the loan bill provisions are be lieved to be available through use of ap proximately $9,000,000 accumulated in the Industrial accident fund and $4,000, 000 of state funds for other general purposes, now invested In loans to banks at 2 per cent, or invested in bonds of outside places which, in many cases, are non-taxable. It would keep this money invested in Oregon, say its proponents, instead of allowing it to. go for the de velopment of territory outside the state. Creamery Product .

Jan. 17. A ft ew avenue of professional endeavor for women as "dental hygienists'" Is pro vided for In a bill to toe introduced. In the house today by Charles T. Hopkins of Roseburg, representative from Doug las and Jackson counties. - - This bill provides that any registered or licensed dentist may employ woman assistants of good moral character who shall be known as "dental hygienists." They may remove lime deposits, accre tions and stains from the exposed sur face of the teeth and directly beneath the -free margin of the gum, but shall not perform any other operation on the teeth -or .mouth or any diseased tissues of the mouth. . .These dental hygienists are to be re leased after state examination by tha board of dental examiners for which a fee of $15 is to be charged. Hopkins says this bill is to be intro duced at the request of numerous den tists of Oregon who see the open field for a legally recognized profession of this sort of women. . . CITY IS PREPARING AUTO LICENSE DILL The bill to be Introduced In fhe legislature at an early, date amend ing the law governing the disposi tion of Portland's automobile license fee, turning back, to the city 20 per cent of the gross receipts, is being prepared by Assistant City Attorney Latourette and will be taken to Sa lem to be passed upon by the state treasurer this week. City Attorney Grant expects to visit the capital during . the week to confer with the state treasurer regarding the bill. The new license fee bill provides that the city of Portland shall receive 20 per cent of the gross receipts from auto license fees paid-in the city and that 5 per! cent shall be paid to Multnomah county. This will give the city approxi mately $140,000 a year to be applied on the maintenance of Its streets and will provide $40,000 a v,ear for county road work. The state highways will still re ceive about $525,000 a, year from Port land's auto license revenue In the event the bill is passed by the legislature, which, city officials believe, la highly probable. The bill was prepared at the request of Commissioner A. L. Barbur of the de partment of public works and has the indorsement of the Multnomah delega tion, it is said. At present the state gets 75 per cent of Portland's auto li cense revenue and Multnomah county Is given the remaining 25 per .cent, leav ing the city no part of Its own revenue, although the city must keep up tha streets for the operation of all automo biles licensed.

OLCOTT GOES TO FRONT FORtfOYy SCHOOL (Continued From Pace One.) - ment of the 140 odd little waifs now In charge of the state, and the hundreds to come to its charge in the future. H CM ASS NEGLECTED "We devote a great deal of time, energy and money to the breeding, de velopment and betterment of our cowa, horses and our pigs. And rightfully, too. But I sometimes think we' give more consideration and thought to ani mals than we do to humans. "I am sure everyone within the range of my voice will say the reformation and savins of just one boy is sufficient warrant for his or her presence here today." The message as originally prepared was in part as follows: PLA2T IS SUCCESS "My proposal to meet and overcome the training school difficulty is made possible by the fact that the people of the state of Oregon have adopted and have given overwhelming sanction to the Oregon policy of financing good road improvements through the issuance of bonds which are to be retired from the automobile license fund. Such a policy is so meritorious, is so closely wedded to our plan of financing our state highway program that it has be come the foundaiton and the backbone of the financial structure of such pro gram. "That this plan of financing is a success and has more than justified It self is plainly demonstrated by the fact that, in 1920 the receipts from automo bile license fees and gasolirre tax gave a large surplus over the estimated needs. "We stil "have on our statute books a provision for the annual levying of a tax of one fourth of a mill, known as the stats road levy, a remnant from the old system of state highway financing enact ed before the present policy was placed in our statutes. This is a direct tax against the property of the people of the state. . AUTO HEX WILLING "The people have expressed their be lief that automobile owners should pay for the construction of the state roads through their license money and the automobile ewners are willing and glad to do it In return for the immense ser vice already being given by such roads. Under our plan of financing the direct property tax of one fourth of a mill could be returned to the general fund in tha future to come, to the relief of our state institutions, which are sorely pressed for adequate, funds. mils on fourth of a mill road levy, according to the estimate made by the state tax commission, will amount to $260,207 for the year 1921. For the com ing biennium, on the same basis, it would amount to over ?520,00O. The few miles of road that .sum would build I consider of small Importance compared to the Immense good it may now do if diverted into other channels. "I recommend the repeal jpf that road le,vy. By such repeal a fund of over half a million of dollars would be made available to this legislate under the 6 per cent limitation amendment to be used for institutional purposes. Any of the amount not needed could be left un touched to lessen the tax burdens of the people. TRAI'IG SCHOOL ""f "By the expenditure' of $300,000 of that fund I believe we could establish a boys' training school which would be a credit to the state and which would, by re formation of the boys and the estab lishment of good citixtnship in them., yield vast financial returns In decreas ing the cost the state would otherwise be put to in maintaining a large num ber of them in the penitentiary during the years to come. I "Briefly, I call your "attention again to the fact that the plan as now used In the Impractical relic which we call the training school is poor in theory and deplorable in practice. "If you deem my idea worthy of consideration, which I sincerely trust you may? I urge that the present plant be replaced by a plant , constructed along the. lines of the cottage Dlan wor caring for these young .transgres sors. HOME ENVIRONMENT "Give to them the environment of the home in which scores of them have never lived. Give them cleanj whole some, healthful surroundings, where will be implanted in their youthful breasts the seeds that will flower Into strong and decent manhood. "Surround them there with the chances for vocational training fitted to their needs, training which will make them powerfully equipped for the battles ahead of them when they enter the world. Sur found them with a strong t corps of teachers with which to develop their tendencies toward better citizenship. Place them in properly segregated units under the discerning eyes of those who know their history and ancestry and are equipped to aid in working out their salvation in better manhood. One needa but to go among these- boys, look into their faces, quia them for a few mo ments, to find la the vast majority of mem spienaia material ror the upbuild ing of honest and self-reliant citizens. BENEFITS SEEK The investment vhich I am suggest ing to you I consider but a paltry sum to put up against the immense possi bilities which are contained In the prod uct of that institution during the future years. - t "I think I have pointed the way to a magnificent accomplishment on i a Scale befitting the importance of the task to State House, Salem, Or., Jan. 17. The attempt' to contest thei seat of Herbert Gordon of Muiltnomah county in the house of representa tives, started by Wesley M. Murray, who was thirteenth in the list as a contestant, fell with a heavy thud this morning. . The mattery introduced last week, when Murray"s petition was ordered read by Speaker Bean and carried over until today, was called upon motion of Representative Kubli of the Multnomah delegation. He moved that the further hearing of the( petition be indefinitely postponed, calling attention to the fact that Gordon had received the opinion of thi attorney general as tcf the valid ity of his act before ! he became a can didate for the , legislature ; that the elec tion of Gordon was by more than 22, 000 over contestant Murray ; that the credentials committee of the house had reported Gordon's right to a- seat In that body, and that the house ltaelf has the right to finally determine the validity of such membership. Kubli was warmly supported by Frank Davey Of Marlon county, and the vote to Indefinitely postpone was unanimous. be undertaken and in a' manner which will work no hardship upon our people. "Purchase of land for a new site for the proposed structure will not be nec essary. We now have state lands avail able not far from the old school which will furnish pne of the mOst beautiful and feasible sites available anywhere. Every dollar appropriated for the pur pose by you will go into the construction of the institution itself and not a penny need be expended for land. ! "Opportunity is offered to 'construct for this legislature and to construct for the people of the state of , Oregon an- enduring monument based upon the solid foundation of, right, j SITUATION SERIOUS f "My knowledge of this institution, gained at first hand through several years of contact with it In an official capacity, make's me feel deeply in my heart the urgent necessity for the com plete rehabilitation of this school. "I think I have cited the practical means to gain such a much desired end. I urge upon you the necessity :f or taking advantage of : the situation and perform a work of widest importance and of immeasurable potential results. "If . you fallow these suggestions it will become necessary In the! course of time to determine the disposition of the old plant. Of necessity the old plant must be used during a large part of the coming biennium while the new one is being constructed and placed in con dition. Some plans i are under consid eration for the, disposition ttt the old plant, .but probably ! these need not be considered until another' legislature meets, as nothing much could be done in the interim and new developments durtng the period may point the way to still other uses.' !.

Senator Penrose today reported the emerg ency tariff bill from the finance committee. Penrose gave j .notice that "at an early date" ha' would move to make the bill the unfinished business of. the senate and: would ."make every effort to push it to in early passage. "l- Supporters of the emergency tariff bill n The senate repotted today they are within three Or four votes of the two thirds necessary to Invoke cloture which, under the senate - rules, would restrict debate on the measure and choke off the filibuster planned by Its opponents. , They also hoped to bo able to com mand the two-thirds vote necessary to override President Wilson's veto of the bill, if it reaches him, they stated. BILL REPORTED i They predicted the bill would , be passed before the end of the present ses sion, despite the amendments with which It has been loaded down, land the dilatory tactics of its opponents. . The bill was reported to tha senate today by Senator Penrose, Republican of Pennsylvania, chainnan of the sen ate finance committee, who favors most of the chances which were made in it by a majority of the committee.! It was I undetermined, however, hdw soon tha senate would begin consideration of It. The hands of the Republican leaders of the senate have been strengthened by the addition of Senators Gooding of Idaho and Willis of Ohio to the slim Republican majority. Gooding replaced former Senator Nugent of, Idaho,, a Democrat he defeated for reelection. NEED FOUR TOTES " Willis restores an , active Republican vote of which the absence of President elect Harding, whom he succeeds, de prived the Republican leaders. ; Eliminating Senator Newberry, of Michigan, the contest, of whose election is still causing him to abBent himself from the . senate chamber, the Repub licans now command, with the recent return of Senator Penrose, 49 .votes, their original majority. It is estimated from eight to eleven Democratic senators, due to the pressure from the agricultural interests of ' thei? states which are strongly supporting the tariff bill, are prepared to vote with the Republicans for the measure. Eleven Democratic votes added -to the 49 Republican for Senator McCcrmlck of Illinois, now touring Europe, 1 and other absentees, are expected to return in time for the final' vote would give the . bill's supporters 60 votes, or within fouf of the 64 necessary to provide a two-thirds. .

The margin between the bill's sup porters and opponents has narrowed down so that the leaders of the latter admit they are no longer so sure of their ability to prevent its passage. They lack the moral support of the president, who has declined to utter one word to help them to keep Democratic senators in line who have bolted or are threatening to bolt the Democratic minority leadership., , Statute Prohibiting Marriages of Whites, Japanese, Is Urged Olympia.

Jan. 17. Wasting no time upon prelltr.inarles, the senate got down to business this morning after a rest of throe days, and started down the lino on third reading and final consideration of the numerous bills which fiad accu mulated In the pening'days of the session last; week. 'Senate bill No. 1, - by 'Kberhard. pro viding for the repeal of the act of 1920 creating the board of automobiln me chanics' examiners, was the first to he presented for ar(lon by the senate, which gave It unanimous approval. As explained by Senator Kberhard, his Bill simply sought to remove from the Btatute books accumulated drift wood, the supreme court having already declared the, act unconstitutional. The refund of more than $6000 -paid In 'as fees under the provlnlons of the act will be considered by the legislative ways and means committee. Governor Olcott having recommended such action In his message.. Another bit of driftwood was removed from the statute books in the repeal of the act of 1913 limiting the bonded in debtedness of counties for road purposes to 2 per cent. This repeal was effected' through the provisions of senate bill 12. also by Kbeehard, who explained that, although Obsolete and supered-d by thn act of 1917 increasing this Indebtedness limitation to per cent, the old -act' had already proved a erJoua'- stumbling block to road work In this stale. Kber hard pointed to tjie cmie of llawley vs. Clackamas county In Which the siipreme court's opinion, based on this act, had declared the $1,700,000 bond tssuo of the county to be Invalid as exceeding the 2 per cent limitation . allowed under the act. - A subsequent opinion of thn court, it was explained, had reversed this position declaring the act of 1913 obso- klele and the latter act as operative.
