Or. lAffriT "flTilUI I II I If I KtMIKIII A Uil 1 1A-U1 vlllll IS PROPOSED Chief Justice of Supreme Tri bunal of State May Be Given More Power Two bills, both designed to expe- dUe the work of Oregon courts, have been drafted by the committee on law reform and will be presented by that committee before the next leg islature. Both propose to give addi tional powers to the chief justice of the supreme court and to make the body of circuit court jutigts in the state a more elastic group of offi cials. The committee on law reform was appointed by the supreme court in accordance with senate joint res olution No. 2 of the 1917 session. The members of the committee are: Judge Charles II. Carey, Portland, chairman; W. D. Fenton, Portland; E. It. Bryeon, Eugene; Justice George II. Burnett. Salem; Ben Selling. Portland: Judge Percy U. Kelly, Al bany; Alfred S. Bennett, The Dalles. One of the bills, which is a wide departure from the present system, proposes to give to the chief Justice power to call to the assistance of the supreme court three circuit Judg es from among the whole number cr circuit Judges in the state. When they are present the supreme court, it 1 contemplated, shall be composed of three departments instead of two as at present. Each of the three de partments would be composed of the chief Justice, who sits In all depart ments, two supreme judges and one circuit Judge. Should the court sit en banc only supreme judges won 1 1 be on the boncn. WhIIe 8ltting with the supreme court the circuit udges by the provisions of the measure. would receive the same pay as the supreme judges. By the other bill that has been drafted the chief Justice would have power to direct circuit judges to hold court in any county In the state to relieve congestion of business regard less of how many judges might be In the district regularly. Under the present system the chief justice often sends circuit judges into counties outside of their own districts, but only when calls for assistance are made upon the Initiative of the coun ties. Under the proposed meaimrt the chief justice would take the Ini tiative. Another difference Is thit un der the plan now employed the ad ditional expense of cirruit Judges go ing into otheer countia are paid by the counties asking assistance, while under the proposed scheme these expenses would be paid by. the state. This bill Is designed primaritlv t. relieve the congestion of "work In Multnomah county. The committee on law reform will recommend the ' passage of both measures. Farmers Urged to Hold Hogs for a Short Time So that the pro;ent congestion of fcoes In the Portland stofkvard may not break the market, the Union Meat company of Portland has of fered.; through Ceoftie W. Eyre, lo cal stock buver. to furnish at cost a carload or more of hog feed so that farmers around Salem may hold their hogs for some time before shipping them.: This offer was made to Mr Eyre by telephone last night. Mr. Eyre offers his service free of charge to the apportion of the feed out to the farmers. The Union Meat company bought 4000 hogs Tuesday according to Information reaching here, has its yards filled to rapacity and is anxious that the market not break. Co.1, Salem, Or.

The romniisHion would be advisor rather than exerntlre in function and the plans developed by it ou1'l be rarrled out by existing govern ment agenrlen. As ronnldered. the roriinilsnion would be representative of rommer rial. industrial, labor, aetlrultural and social Interests; Its membership would be small and 'it would deal with all phases of the rreat prob lem. The president Is understood to op pose the plan of a congressional com mittee preparting a reconstruction program. II is said to prefer idm who can give their entire time to the work and who have made a specialty of economic and social problems. Tn, president Is said to be considering what emrgency legislation may be necessary berore the government can proceed systematically to turn all resources of the country to peace, time production. How to shut off further war pro ductlon without closing plants thro-v-( ing men out of ork and causlnc f i-. nanciai strain, is me most mmedla , reconstruction probltm. Hundred! of telegrams of Inquiry reaching gov ernment departments today disclosed anxiety of business men over this question, and offerede many sugxes- tions.

Government authori ties having charge of the placing of war contracts are considering a plan ror diverting raw materials from war Industries as fast as these curtail activities to other Inlustrle wheir they can be used at once for recon struction needs. War orders will not be cancelled In a whole-sale way un til such a plan la developed, it Is believed. The chamber of commerce o( the United fitatse tolav made public a letter to President Wilson citing evi dence of anxiety among business men over the government's course, sug gesting development of uniform poli cies for all departments, and some provision for preventing a sudden drop In prices of raw material. "It seems to usr" thel etter said. "It Is possible to work out certain common principles which should ob tain In all government departments In affecting settlements on contracts now to be stopped and aljustln. them on a fair basis. If one bureau.! or department, foIIrws its own Ideas and another pursues a different course. It will lead to endless con troversy and confusion. For this rea son, we believe the agencies set up in the various bureaus and depart ments to deal wtth the inc:ton should be controlled by some com mon authority." The chamber of commerce also hm ' recommended to the president cMab lishment of an advisory reconduc tion commission similar to that he considers appointing. Whatever machinery Is crcatej for supervising the transition, it is considered certain that the govern ment proposes to maintain a central ized control.
