it was the best compromise that
could be hoped for.
The most important provision und
the one causing the greatest division
of opinion relates to settlement of
claims growing out of the develop
ment of oil wells in and outside the
California and Wyoming naval re
serves. The conferees adopted the
house provision which has beep en
! dorsed by the secretary of the navy

BIG AUTO SHOW
Program Will Be Better for

Among New Features
Oates for the Automobile show In
the armory, which was postponed on
account of the influenza ban, have
been definitely announced as Febru
ary 12. 13, 14, and 15. Now that
the flu has practically departed It
is possible to make arangemets for
much larger program than was at
first planned, said Lee L. Gilbert
who is directing the show, yesterday
All of the space has been oversold
and the committee has been com
pelled to turn down many Portland
cars. As arrangements now stand
there will be 28 automobiles besides
trucks and tractors on exhibit. This
is a larger number than were at the
state fair when between 13 and 20 j
pleasure cars were entered.
Dancing, lectures, vocal and in
strumental music and vaudeville are
among some of the features planned
for the evening programs. No out
side talent will be brought In, as it
is desired that the entire town be In
terested and in some way be repre
sented in the affair. Both the Cber

on for -program s. :

Merger Is Disapproved
by Far Board Members
Contrary to what the consolida
tion committee of the legislature had
bfen led to believe was the altitude
of. the state fair board, objection
to the committee's consolidation pro
gram was regisierea yesieroay oy
J. E. Reynolds, president of the
state fair board. v
Mr. Reynolds appeared at a meet
ing of the committee and declared
that if the board is consolidated un
der the Agricultural department
there will bej a dcteiloration in effi
ciency in that department. He said
that ujider the present system the
members of the fair board, are re
sponsible for the success or failure
of the fair and consequently take
a deep interest In it, while under the
proposed plan the commissioner, of
.agriculture would be responsible for
the exhibition and the members of
the board would serve only in an ad
visry capacity.
Senator Eberhard won over to oth
er members of the committee to his
-conviction that , superintendents of
departments must, be made appoin
tive and not elective. His argument
is that If they are elected the con
solidation scheme will defeat its own
purpose., namely the choice f depart

JUDGES' BILL
IS APPROVED
Senate Favors $1000 In
crease for Multnomah
Court Members
The Multnomah county delega
tion, though opposed hy one of Its
own members, rallied enough sup
port from other counties in the sen-
ate yesterday to pass the bill provid
ing an increase of $1000 a year in
the salaries of circuit judges In
Multnomah county. If the provisions
of the bill are finally written into
the statnte books those judges will
receive $5000 a year, and it is said
that two resignations will be fore
stalled. Senator Farrell of Mult
nomah Voted against the bill and op
posed it on the floor.
" The vote was as follows:
' Ayes Baldwin, Banks. Bell, Dlm
ick. Eberhard. Eddy. Gill. Handley.
Howell. Hurley, Jones. Lachmund.
Moser, NIckelsen, Norblad, Orton.
Porter. Ritner, Shanks, Thomas.
Vinton.
Noes Farrell. La Follett. Smith
of Coos and Curry. Smith of Jose
phine. Strayer, Wood.
Absent Huston, Patterson, Pierce
Notwithstanding Senator Moser
explained that the additional $1000
a year would be paid by Multnomah
county Senator La! Follett attacked
the bill from the point of view of the
taxpayers.
"This continual effort to place ad
ditional burdens upon the taxpay
ers makes my blood" run fast and
hot." he shouted, "Statistics already
show that Oregon Is paying bigger
taxes than any other state."
; Representative Sheldon's hill to
authorize the state highway commis
sion to establish an emergency fund
of $30.0110 was passed by the senate
yesterday afternoon without dissent
The money Is to be placed at the dis
posal of the state highway, engineer
and used for the prompt payment of
workmen on the commission's pay
roll Representative's .DIdd's bill to
amend the law by extending the op
eration of the mechanic's lien to the
occupation, of well drilling was up
for third reading and. passed.
Upon' motion of Senator Thomas
the senate referred to the Judiciary
committee a bill by Representative
Gallagher making it unlawful for
any firm, person or corporation to
enter Into any agreement to prevent
competitive, bidding on livestock.
Senator Thomas and other members
were of the opinion that the subject
Is covered in an anti-trust bill .In
troduced by Thonts.
The committee on penal institu
tions reported favorably upon Sen
ator RItner's bill providing an appro
priation or $500,000 for a" new state
penitentiary with referendum clause
attached. The Multnomah county
delegation reported favorably upon
the joint resolution for the consoli
dation of the city of Portland and
Multnomah rot.nty under the name of
"the city and county of Portland."
If a resolution Introduced yester
day by Senator Pierce prevails Fri
day of this week will he the last on
which bills may be Introduced Into
the Oregon legislature. The resolu
tion makes that the final day for new
bills in the senate. Under a resolu
tion adopted In the house yesterday
was the last day for the introduction
of bills In that body.
Of course this is a land of milk
and honey, but the milk is high and
the price of honey is aviating.

"Coal is now the most pressing
need in Czeeko-SIovakla. Austria
and Hungary."-said C&ptaln Fergu
son, and without an Increased fuel
supply, food relief on a large scale
is impossible. Only one-tenth of the
number of trains are operating In
Austria and Hungary because of
lack of coal, and conditions are lit
tle better in Cxecho-Slovakla.
"Although the Americans cannot
expend a great amount for Austro
Hungaiian relief, the entent prob
ably will supply food to those two
countries to avert Bolshevism and
all the American relief for Czecho
slovakia must pass over the disor
ganized Austro-Hungarian railroads.
"The Americans are concentrating
food at Trieste, which will be the
center of the southern relief work,
while Danzig will be the center of
Polish relief, but the entire cam
paign is dependent upon coal, which
it mayjw necessary to import from
England or the United States, un
less arrangement can be made to ob
