Scenic Feature Bill
Wins Third Reading
Despite Objection
State House, Salem, Feb. 18. Although
strenuously opposed by Senator Upton
as a needless expenditure of money,
which should be saved for highway con
struction, senate bill 365, empowering the
state highway commission to acquire
right of way along public highways was
saved by tne senate this morning for an
appearance on the calendar for third
reading.
Upton declared the idea of preserving
the scenic beauties along the state's
highways as contemplated in the bin to
be a most commendable one If the state
had the funds to carry - it out, but in
sisted that it was not practical.
Senator Patterson called attention to
the fact that the bill was almost as.
identical copy of the California law
which has been in operation for many
years and which has cost that state but
little.
Senator, Denis, sponser for the bill, de
clared that the senators would live to
see the day when they would regret their

T ROAD BILL,
AMENDED. PASSES
IN UPPER HOUSE
State House. Salem, Feb. '18. By
a vote of 16 to 14, Just enough to
pass It, the senate 'passed Senator
Hall's amended Roosevelt highway
bill late I Thursday afternoon .and
sent it on Its way to the house for
further and final consideration. Just
befdre the vote on that bill was
taken, th road districting bill, com
panion measure to the Roosevelt
highway bill, was passed by a vote
of 17 to 13.
Benator Robertson, who voted for the
districting bill, changed his position
when it came to the Roosevelt highway
measure, taking the attitude that while
he was not averse to the formation of
highway construction districts should
the voters of any selected area wish
to incorporate themselves together for
that purpose, yet he was not In favor
of the Roosevelt highway bill in Us
present terms and under pcrsent condi
tions. . i
MAKES MATTERS WORSE
The passage" of the two measures still
further complicates the highway pro
gram. While Senator Hall told the sen
ate during his argument in support of
his measures that "two members of the
highway commission ; had assured him
that they ; were . neutral," it is an open
secret that Chairman Booth of the com
mission is bitterly opposed to the enact
ment of the Roosevelt highway measure
at this time, contending as he did at
an open hearing before the highway
committee that it would be unwise and
against the Interest of the highway con
struction program. ,
It is also known that, while it may
be a fact that the other members of
the commission are 'neutral" so far as
open opposition to the bill is concerned,
nevertheless they do not favor its pas
sage in truth and do not want to see
it written into the law.
WHAT WlXIi' HOUSE BO!
Whether the house will pass the Roose
velt bill is the instant puzzle about the
lobbies. It was the house roads com
mittee which Invited Chairman Booth
to come before it and express his senti
ments in reference to the bill, which
presentation was pretty directly respon
sible for the defeat of the measure when
it first came before the senate.
The house -committee seems more In
harmony with the wishes of the highway
commission than the ' senate group. It
la mapping its legislation, most ef which
is now ready to make its bow to the
wnoie membership. In accordance With.
tne suggestions of the highway com
mission, and it is the current guess that
the house as a whole will swing back
of its committee, and thus against Sen
ator Hall's bill, unless the senator has
A halt Nelson on more votes In the house
than Is generally supposed. ..
Senator. Hall paid particular attention
to the "tienber Interests" in his speech to
the senate, saying that he had been
associated with thm m the past and
had been their friend.
COOL ATTITUDE
He had noticed a "slight estrangement'
since he had introduced the Roosevelt
highway bill, he said, and he warned
them that if they did not stop trying
to block progressive legislation and did
not turn to the advice of conservative
men who still stood, for progress they
would find themselves, in tha hands of
the radicals. - - i
Norblad spoke briefly for tha bills.
End Vinton opposed them, contending
jat It was not fair, to fasten the burden
of tha direct tax necessary to finance
the Roosevelt highway bonds for the
benefit of the coast counties only par
ticularly when they had been given
7.000,000 of road construction already.
He also objected to the emergency clause
being on tha bills. ,
. EOdy. also opposed the bill, contend
ing that the district plan established a
dangerous and unwise experiment. He
also objected to the districting bill be
cause It gave the power to vote bonds
up to 10 per cent of the assessed valua
tion of the district to the seven direc
tors and without any submission of the
question to the voters of the district - j I
JOSEPH MOKE VIOLEHT ' j
Joseph characterized the bill as "one
of the worst pieces of legislation ever
introduced In the Oregon senate," while
Dennis, Edwards and Upton spoke In
Its favor.-.' f .

GIVEN BIG LEAD IN
BALLOT IN SENATE
State House, Salem. Feb. 18. The
senate put the f inishlhs; touches to
the cooperative marketing bill Thurs
day afternoon - when it passed the
measure by a vote of 25 to 5, and
sent it on its way to the lower house
for consideration.
Ah attempt was made by Senator
Hume to amend the bill but this was
forestalled by Senator Hare, who char
acterized th move as an attempt to
scutttle it. -
Besides declaring it to. be the policy
of the state to encourage cooperative
marketing on the part of producers,
which would not be construed as a vio
lation of the state's anti-trust laws, the
bill legalizes contracts between the as
sociation and its members, who are bound
toobey its rules and regulations during
the period of their membership.
EXTENDS BLUE SKY IAW '
This : provision, it was explained, is
designed to safeguard cooperative as
sociations from attacks by enemies of
the cooperative movement who prey upon
the credulity of association members and
encourage violations of -. contracts by
tendering higher bids than market conditions-justify,,;

the senate today. One of these increases
the salary of the attorney general from
$3600 to f 4000 a year. Another increases
the salary of the state engineer from
63000 to $3600 a year. The third, vetoed
house bill 38 of the special session, which
the senate passed, notwithstanding the
veto of the governor removes the statu
tory limitation of 65000 per year on the
salary of the state highway engineer,
placing the salary at- the discretion of

MEASURE BEATEN
BY TWO BALLOTS
State House, Salem, Feb. It.
Twenty-nine affirmative and. 28 neg
ative votes Were cast in the house
of representatives Thursday; after
noon on Senator Banks' senate bill
No. 19, providing for free school
books to' pupils of all public schools
except high schools. The bill was
lost for lack of a constitutional ma
jority of " 31 votes. .The indications
are that an effort will be made for
Its reconsideration today.
Consideration Of this bill brought about
spirited debate, the support ef the bill
being lid by Representative Hlndman.
KorelL Sheldon, Burdick, Carter, Lynn,
Overturf and ' Speaker Bean. -SYSTEM
HELP SUCCESS
The opposition was lead by Represent
atives Kay, Belknap, Davey, . Fisher,
Roberts and Woodson. '
Hindman urged that this system has
been tried out in other states and has
proved successful, : especially in Iowa,
Pennsylvania, New Tork and Hew Jer
sey. Soeaker Bean declared the law would
bring the cost of school books down
where they ought to be and woutd
break the school book trust in Oregon.
"Two years ago I introduced a sim
ilar measure in this house," said Speaker
Bean, "providing that the state printer
should print the school text books, and
there never was a lobby so powerful
in this building as the one sent to de
feat my bill."
PLEADS FOB INOTTIDtTALS
Sheldon urged that the schools should
be free in fact as well as in name and
that the expense of book supply should
not fall on the Individual parents any
more than the other school expenses.
Opponents to the measure urged that
many families would not want to accept
free text books, thus placing themselves
In the class of paupers, that there would
be. danger from germs because of the
miscellaneous use of the books, that
the bill itself would work to the ad
vantage of the book trust, as more books
would be required through careless se
by the children, and that it would cost
at least $885,000 to suppl new books
for next falL
ELIMINATE FA3CT 'DttESS
Representative Roberts of Hood River
snd Wasco counties advanced the propo
sition that what would, be more useful
than free text books in giving relief to
overburdened parents of school children
in the elementary public schools, having
a separate uniform for each grade. He
declared this would eliminate the rivalry
and heart burnings over the -matter of
dress amongst school girls, and greatly
reduce the clothing problem.
Representative lOallagher called at
tention to the large number of children
who are educated in private and paro
chial schools, and asked for an amend
ment to the bill which would permit any
pupil taking a course of study provided
by the public schools, whenever Its
studies might be, to purchase the text
books at actual cost. He received no
second to this amendment. ;
The Closeness of the vote today makes
the final result problematical should the
bill be reconsidered.

Teachers Measure
State House, Salem, Feb. 18. The
amended teachers tenure bill passed by
the house wilt l-e put into the Benate
by the senate Multnomah ' delegation

was carried, with Hume. Farrell, Gill
and Joseph voting for it, while Moser,
Staples and Banks voted against it
and for a favorable report.
Moser announced that he would file
a minority report, and Banks said that
while he would not join in the report,
he would vote for the ' passage of the
bill in the -senate. He said that he did
not approve of the attitude assumed
by the teachers in the controversy, and
that, while he was friendly to their in
terests, their aourse of action before the
legislature hai driven him to the sup
port of the bill.
The tenure fight, therefore, wilt come
up on the floor-: of the senate as soon
aa the delegation report is made on the
motion to substitute the minority for
the majority report

Bill Introduced to
Clear Up Flaw in
Naval Base Title
State House. Salem, Feb. 18. In order
to clear a technical flaw in the title to
the land purchased by Clatsop county
and turned ovef to the federal govern
ment for the Astoria naval base, a reso
lution was introduced in the senate -by
Bank validating the act.
When the naval base was under con
sideration by officials of the govern
ment, 100 citizens of Clatsop signed
notes for $100 each to guarantee, the
purchase price. Later a special election
was held and the county was authorised
to buy the site.!
It was discovered, however, that the
state law, in setting out the powers of
county - governments, provides that
counties may purchase and hold prop
erty for county purposes only, and it
as held by government authorities that
the land could hot be taken by the gov
ernment unless this technical flaw had
been corrected. ! United States Attorney
Humphrey's came to Salem Thursday
and aa a result of his visit Bank's reso
lution will be passed te clear up the
title to the naval base tract.
