THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, dREGON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY ,26, 1S21. Stock Show Asks Increased Appropriation; Cost of State Printing Is Subject of Debate ATTACK ON COSTS OF STATE PR NT NG STARTS ARGUMENT ' State House, Salem, Or., Jan, 26.- Btatements made by Representative K. K. Kubll to the effect that printed supplies cost the state more at the state's own plant than they could be purchased for in the open mar ket, are- untrue, W. M. Plimpton state' printer, told the. ways and means committee Tuesday night. ; Plimpton offered to cite instances in proof of his position but this offer was not accepted and a motion to name a committee headed by Kubli to invest! cat into prices at which the state's printing was being produced, in com parison with prices charged by private concerns for the same clans of work fell by the wayside when Kubll declared that - such a move was Impracticable in the short time. Intervening before the close 1 of -t,he-session. - Kt'BM TIES IS" When Plimpton ; appeared before the ways and means committee to present financial needs for the forthcoming M ennlum he was promptly put on the grill by Kubll. who,, however, apparenlly rims out second bent in the prolonged a rsrumpn t wViir-h fnlllnwtwf in R n! 1 nf ef. . forts of other members of the commit . tee to head off the discussion. Kubli opened on Plimpton with the in formation that he was about to present a bill making Jt possible for state com missions and' departments Outside - of Marlon county to place their printing in the open market when such a course would mean a saving over the price at which the work could be produced by the -state printer. Representative Kay. according to Kubll, wanted to go still farther and abolish the printing depart ment entirely. TABLES ARE TURJiET State departments have, always en joyed the privilege f placing their print ing where it could be bought at the low est price, Plimpton declared.- When Kubll tried to show that the state plant was not equipped to handle much of the state - work and was com pelled to "farm out" its ruling and bind ing jobs, Plimpton pulled the representa tive from, Multnomah county up short .with the statement that- Kubli' own plant was in the same position in this .respect. ; ' ' -4 . O. M.iPlummer, manager of the Pa rifle-.International Livestock Exposition, appeared before the board in behalf of the -stock show's budget which calls for un sppropriation of $75,000 for premiums and $100,000 for a new building, an ag gregate of $176,000 as against an appro priation of $50,000 two. years ago. The chow, Plummer declared, was the bigi pest thing of its kind in the world and the state could well afford to get behind it. generously as one of its most- valuable assets.. . SKEDH ARE PRESENTED 1 no 1 1 ' L inw 'luui-'i "lira nviviv. under the Jurisdiction of the secretary of state's department were presented to the committee by Secretary of State Koaer. . While the budget estimate of needs for liounty payment shows, only $73,000 Koser espial neHhat there were accumu lated unpaid bounty claims aggregating more than $39,000 now on file in his of fice, some of them running back for sev- era! years, which should be provided for in addition to the needs of the next bi enniiim. t " When Kozer called attention to the in-1 crease in bounty payments for the past several years some of the committee members suggested that Eastern Oregon ranchers were raising coyotes5 in order to get the bounty money. ' - Thirty thousand copies of the "Blue Book," the official state directory, will be needed to meet the growing demand for this publication during the next bi ennium, Kozer delared. The supply of 23,500 copies of -the 1919-20 'edition was exhausted long ago, he explained, and the demand was growing every year. An appropriation of $7250 is sought for this purpose, -although Kozer explained that: if this money was not available the " state would be compelled to get along ; with less blue books. SALARY INCREASES CITED Koter is asking for a total of $79,420 for the operation of the state department itself, as against 16,300 for the past bi ennium. The increase, Koser explained, was due to increased salaries to employes in the department. That a new electric elevator to re place the antiquated waterpower lift in the capitol building is more than a mere possibility was indicated by the manner in which the committee, greeted the item of $6S00 included in Kozer's budget for this item. The members who took oc casion o put meir (entimenia into words declared that the present elevator was a disgrace to the state. A total of $99,399.50 is sought at this time for main tenance of the capitol building and grounds, including improvements, as against $74,650 two years ago.

John J Logan in particular, and lawyer members of the state parole board In general, ! provided material for a wordy battle in the senate this morning which resulted in the adop tion of the majority report favorable to. Senator Hume's bill barring law years from membership on the stato parole board. j Senators Banks ind Hare, who sup ported the minority report adverse to the Hume bill, submitted by Senator Bell, Insisted that I the bill was aimed directly at John F. Logan, chairman and member of the board since 1911, and was a reflection on the integrity of Logan. A letter fifom Logan, read by Senator Banks, expressed. Logan's inten tion to resign from the board Immedi ately upon his return from California, not later than March L Logan's letter, however, expressed jthe opinion that the presence of a lawyer on the board was absolutely essential and opposed the principles embodied; in the bill. . Senators Hume, ! Eddy and Joseph, speaking in defense of the bill, denied any reflection against Logan was in tended. Senator Lafollette, expressing his ap proval of the bill, declared his readi ness to go still further and legislate lawyers out of the state legislature, to which suggestion Senator Banks replied by outlining a story in Which he inti mated that the venerable senator from Marion county was a "damphool." Eoosevelt Highway Bill May Vote of Yet Gt) to All People State House, Salem, Jan. 26. Ben Jones, father of thfe Roosevelt highway 12.500,000 bonding pill, and other pro ponents of that measure are switching their ideas regarding the Hall bill and now incline to the . position that the measure should be j amended so that it would simply delegate the authority and duty to the highway commission to go ahead with the construction of the road and then submit the bill enacted at this Session to the people of the state for their approval or rejection. The Hall bill provides in substance that the $2,500,000 of bonds carried in the bill should be expended on construc tion of the road wiithout regard to the action of the federal government in matching the appropriation or assum ing the care and maintenance of the highway when completed as was speci fied in the bill approved by the people. It is now contended that the Roosevelt highway should simply be put on the road map and the jfunds carried in the present bill be made available to the use of the highway commission. The dis cretion Bhould be left to the commission as to where construction would be un dertaken, with the! general idea, how ever, that the links along the coast be connected up 'so that there could be traffic from Astoria to Crescent City, At the present tfme there are two or three stretches where It is impossible to drive along the coast road.

By a vote of 30 for to 29 against, with North of Multnomah, excused and absent, after- two hours of heated verbal battle, the. house of repre sentatives late Tuesday afternoon embarked upon the sea of sectional politics by determining to take up the puzzle of legislative reapportion ment. The decision came through the adoption of the Carter resolution, introduced at the opening of the aft ernoon session by the resolutions committee, and which provided that it should be the sense of the house that reapportionment should be undertaken at the present session. The adoption of . the Carter resolution paved the way for the adoption by the house. Immediately afterward the Upton concurrent resolution was passed provid ing for the appointment of a joint com mittee of five senators and five repre sentatives, selected by the two presiding officers, with such regard to geographi cal location that the entire state would be as equitably represented as nugnt do possible. BUSH THEIR PKOPOSAIi . This committee will be selected by TWddent Ritner and Sneaker Bean after a conference held between them, at which they wUl attempt to aovetau tne mem bership of the senate and house commit tees so that all sections of the state will be represented vshile ,none will be du plicated or over represented. The membership of the house was nrimed for the big fight when the after noon session was called to order, for dur ing the noon hour the committee on reso lutions had met in executive session and framed the Carter resolution and put it upon the desk for early consideration. Carte.r. in the beslnning. had pitched his battle upon negative lines, as it had been his intention to provide in nis reso lution that the legislature should not take up the question of reapportion ment. This would have brought the resolution out with an adverse report, and after talking it over Carter and the committee agreed to put the question up squarely and in the affirmative. LOSE BY OJTE VOTE It was generally understood when the fight started that, if the resolution car ried, opposition to the Upton resolution providing for the special committee would cease, and, in accordance with this understanding, that resolution was final ly adopted without a negative vote re corded against it. It was a hot fight in which a large proportion of the membership of the house participated, and close locked as the two forces are it is not probable that the battle has been ended with this first skirmish. It is not to be expected that the valley counties, which fought against reapportionment legislation and which stand to lose representation in the event that additional membership is triven ' to Eastern Oregon and to Multnomah coun ty, as is intended, will stop their fight just because they lost the first round by the narrow margin of one vote. LOOK FOB BAB RESULTS Promise of strife and contention marked the debate on both sides. Kay and Davey of Marion, Carter of Jack son, Hubbard of Baker, Gordon of Lane, Stone of Clackamas and other speakers all bore down on the argument that the injection of the reapportion ment question into the session, now half over, would mean that every bill would be considered In the light of that fight ; that disharmony, sectional strife and bitterness would coma into the sen ate and house to mar and possibly to wreck the session so far as its record for constructive achievement might be concerned. Gallagher, the fighting member from Malheur, in answer to this argument, served notice that if the Eastern Oregon districts which he contended were en titled to additional representation "were not given a square deal," there very probably would be no harmony, anyway. Burdick pilloried Hubbard and Rob erts for opposing the resolution, charg ing them with not being true to the interests of the Eastern Oregon coun try, and Hubbard answered this by con tending that Eastern Oregon, as a whole, now had as much representation as It was entitled to have, population consid ered as the guide. It is a foregone conclusion that dur ing the rest of the session the reappor tionment measure will be continually In the minds of the legislators, in their consideration of all legislation generally. and of big legislation particularly. . The big counties of the valley, with delegations which Eastern Oregon and Multnomah county contend are too large by ratio of population, are already fcerv lnff notice that they will not submit to loss of representation without- a fight. Banded together, they may hold the bal ance of power on more than one closely contested measure, of which there may be several before the session is ended. The "vote on the Carter resolution was as follows : For the resolution Belknap, Bennett, liuraica, (jarsner, Kieteher. oauagner, Gordon of Multnomah, Hammond, Hind man. Hosford. Hunter. Hurd. Hvatt.

Surplus supplies in the hands of the war depart ment would be diverted to the relief of suffering Europeans under the provi slons of a joint memorial Introduced by Senator Hare Tuesday The memorial calls attention to the fact that American people are being called upon by Herbert Hoover at this time to contribute to theTalief of Euro pean women and children. Surplus sup plies of food and clothing In the hands of the war department are being sold at prices far below the retail - price, which fact is being taken advantage of by dealers and speculators for profit, it is claimed. (f Congress is memorialised to enact ap propriate legislation to the end that this condition of distress be relieved so far as possible through ' the diversion of these supplies to Europe. n Women on Juries !

The people are breaking away from the old line medical profession with its 'drugs and knives," according to Senator Hume, in defending Senate bill 67, which came onto the floor of the senate Tuesday under escort of a divided committee report. Senator Smith, who signed the minority report, had declared that the bill pro posed to license the entire world with the exception of a . few lawyers and preachers to practice healing in some form or another. The bill in question seeks, to create a state board of druglesa therapeutics and to legalize the profession of druglesa healing, through the use of 'food, water, suggestion, light, heat, electricity, anti sept io exercises, vibration, massage, manipulation, mechanical and electrical Instruments and appliances." ' It seeks only to elevate the profes sion of druglesa healing, according to Senator Hume's version, and would only provide for the licensing and regulation of professions which are already being practiced in the state. Enactment of the bill Into law will eliminate all protection to the public against the spread of contagious dis eases, according to Smith, who asserted that the druglesa practitioners might as well be licensed to practice law as medi cine, inasmuch as they knew nothing at all about either. The majority report favorable to the hill was adopted with seven senators op posed after certain amendments to the original draft had been agreed to by the proponents of the measure.
