J The opponents of the Hall bill caucused Wednesday night and decided that vif an attempt were made to pass the i Hall : bill yes terday or to make it a special orders they would ; table It. ,This program was successfully fol fowed out. ) The reason back of tabling the! measure is that fur ther consideration j may be given the Hare, thej Corbett and the Johnson-Carkfn programs, all nbw'toeforel the senate, the pur pose i oeing ; to ; tase irotn acn of them th' best faturt. inrpr- porate them Into a thoroushl- studied measure" that will both save money; and create efficiency; The ; vote on Eddy's motion to table the measure , was: Fori Brown, Corbett, Dennis, Eddy, ' Edwards, .

' In makirig his motion to table the bill , Senator Eddy declared that amendments had been incor porated In the masure that the senators ' had not had ;time to consider and -.would not have time to study by 10 o'clock to morrow. ' , "Senator Hall knows the sen ators know ! nothing about these amendments," said Eddy. 4 u He said ! he . understood ! an other, bill was to be introduced. He asked for a call of the sen ate: and a roll call on the vote on his motion. . Senator Brown wanted to explain his vote since a motion to table is1 not debate able, but tlpton f ruled against thls Farrell appealed from this decision bu was not sustained. ' '' , :' , System Preserved Preservation of the" democrat ic or elective) system of govern ment would I be possible under whatever bill Is whipped into shape out of the pending rueus ures. This is emphasized in the Corbett bill which probably will be introduced today. The Corbett bill provides ffor three departments, each presided oer by an elective oilicer; of the1 - ri V '- . . . state. These are the department of public affairs, presided over by the governor; the department of tfiscal affairs, presided over by the state treasurer; and the department tot public welfare, presided' over ? by ;the secretary of state. It would maintain the state rboard' of control and Its functfons as' it is at present, Groupings Provided Under the department of pubr lie affairs, presided over by the governor, would be the state en gineer, , the j state highway com missioner and engineer, the state board of conciliation, the public service commission of three mem bers, the board of horticulture. the state library, " the Oregon land settlement t commission; the state livestock sanitary board, the lime board, the advisory livestock brand board, the pure seed board, the stallion registra tion board, he tourist, and "i infor mation bureau and the state vet erinarian, 'j-jf, . :'-H- m -.

Each department would have the right to continue any oard or commission assigned to it or tc abolish it. but no commission could provide any compensation not now provided by law or 'in crease any ' salary, i The public service commis sion would be taken out of pol itics by making the members ap pointive. The personnel would bo left three members for it is T.ill, tl':-r t'ue work is too ar duous for one man.- The acci dent T commission would ; be re duced to one commissioner and the) highway commission would remain, at three members as at present. t j Money To He Saved ' ' The plan is to consolidate' tbo corporation and insurance ' de partments it is estimated would save ,,$70,000 each biennium and it is. estimated that $97,200 more could be saved by reduc ing the. accident commission to one member. It is held that the printing department could be best admin istered if placed under the de partment o public welfare pre sided over by the secretary of state and that it properly 1 be longs there. -f ' . ' "The information on which I based the bill," r said Senator Corbett, "comes from the statsn offices themselves, and is there-1 fore workable. The legal work was supervised by Senator Hare who has Introduced measures to simplify some oif the ! depart ments. . , Elective System Kept ; "My bill would effect some direct savings, but It goes fur ther as it places the departments where they naturally belong and where they can best be super vised without the clumsy expe dient of technical advice :. on technical subjects which lis no'w necessary. - j J "The main virtue of the bill is that it , preserves the elective or democratic systm .of government. It does not overload any ot ficial with duties he cannot per form. It is workable from a practical point of view and will effect home economies In govern ment. , It leaves the way clear for a calm sclent iff ic pnieesa of fuither eliminatioa and consoll t dation by those competent, to outine it." i -When the Corbett consolidation bill! was introduced it was sus pension of rules; read the- second time and referred to to : com mittee on county and state oJ fices.

" Senator "La Follett branded President Kerr of the ; agricul tural college as "some politt c'an," and began a characteris tic speech, when Brownell cut him otr. v "I know what you are going to say," Brownell interrupted. "I have , heard " that spiel every uiglit since the session opened. Why don't you pull out lthat chort of yours again on which jou say Oregon's black tax mark is going, to be extended 10 feet?" lefender is Warned "I 'Want to tell you," shouted La . Follett angrily, "that you digging your political grave so dam deep you'll never get out." Zimmerman claimed to have a letter from an OAC instructor admitting that all of the recom mended appropriations cut be cut down. After Senator Edwards had de fended the college Strayer de clared: "We have got to draw the line somewhere or the people , are go ing to become so incensed that they will draw it where we wouldn't dare draw It, If It hadn't been for the drunken revelry of salary raising at these educational institutions' they eculd have gotten by on the mUl age taxes." Taylor accused Brownell of try ing to thwart the efforts of the ways and . means committee to keep taxes down. "You are try ing to keep them -up," he de clared, "and have tried too on everything that has come before this committee." 1 Cut is Voted "I shall exercise my preroga tive to vote as I please," Brown ell reported, "and you can't tell n.e what to do." t , "He can tell you what yon are doing, though," flung La Fol lett. . , J Brownell moved that the f uU amount be allowed and Chairman Fletcser of th" house committee seconded the motion. Zimmer man moved to i amend the mo tion i by cutting the amount to $? 5,0 8 7. 4 8 and this prevailed, Strayer and La Follett voting against it. ' For the state educational de partment the budget .request was $47,540 against $46,000 two years ago. Taylor moved - to strike out an item of -$12,000 fcr agricultural extension in the schools, but his adamantine heart softened when he was In formed as to how the money i3 used. ! , i "I don't want to take anything ifWm the boys and girls," he said. "I am not built that; way, T withdraw my motion.' The amount was cut to $45,000, Brownell who opposed any cut, voting "n. More Fireworks Brpwnel.1 again touched off the TNT when he moved that the full recommended sum of $82,500 be allowed for the state library. Zimmerman Immediate ly moved to amend the motion and make it $75,000, the amount of two years ago. La Follett seconded the amendment. Stray er moved an amendment to the amendment that It be cut to $60,000 and La Follett second ed this also. When La Follett was cautioned by Chairman Smith that he had seconded the previous amendment he replied: "I will second anything that reduces taxes." Strayer, reading the approprla tion$ for 10 years back, called attention to what he 'called the successive "Jumps." "We can. cut down the amount for purchase of books and still have one jot the best libraries west of the Mississippi," he averred. . ' t . "This library is a luxury," as certed La. Follett. "What - good does It do the poor farmer. He don't have time to read books or even the morning paper." . t Edwards Investigates Edwards said he had investi gated the library and found that although Miss Cornelia Man in, the librarian,, receives $3600 a year her clerks and helpers are underpaid. ; - "Girls are working there for $65 a month." said Edwards, "while girls of similar abilities in the state house get as high as $125." - y ' : 0 . Edwards pictured the . im mense benefit of the library to the rural communities, declaring that the poor people demand it. and are benefitted by it more than n v. A We can cut the appropriation to $60,000 and not a man, woman or child w HI receive a book less than now," Strayer contended. Tribute Paid Librarian ; Brownell paid a tribute to Miss Marvin and declared the library ia of peculiar benefit to the farmer. "Would you cut down the thing that Is the very sinew of your farm?'' he asked., ., . ' This warmed La Follett to a white , heat, ' I , k "l have lived in this county 63 years," he shouted, fl have f our 'sons and two daughters, and so help me God, I don't kndw when one of them ever got a book; there, and I have friends the same way." La Follett declared that Miss Marvin ad made a trip "aW over Europe and was gorie for 4r f've months another time and they seemed to get along all rlgit." It was explained thai Miss Mar vin made these trips . on her own money and that she procured an other librarian to take her lace. Strayer pleaded that the" tax payers be given a breathing! spell an dthat a cut be made. He de clared that just now it is neces sary to 'cut until it hurts,'. and explained that he was not advo cating a permanent policy' Strayer withdrew 'his motion to cut the amount to $60,000 and Zimmerman's; amendment to cut to $75,000 carried. In' the vote on whether this should be allowed Fletcher and Brownell voted "no" in protest at any cut.. - ; ! Bine JRook Approved j Taylor and La Follett both saw great value in the Oregon Blue Book and the full recommenda tion of $6500 Iwas allowed. .There was no opposition to the State Historical society's request for $20,000 and $231 was added to pay for Improvements about the salt cairns at' Seaside marking the end of the Lewis and Clark trail. Taylor pa(d a' glowing tribute to the work of the society. . j Some threatening remarks Iwero made about the state dairy and (food commission, but $40,000 of the recommended amount of $0,- 000 was allowed, Pierce. alone iyoting in the negative. j The state board of horticul ture's requestj for $12,000 1 was allowed without dissent. Three bills pertaining to the department were passed on. One appropriat ing $5000 to fight alfalfa weevil and another appropriating $5000 to establish ; quarantine when jnecessary .at ports of entry ,were lapproved. Another to appropriate f 4000 to fight the earwig was not japproved. .1 j I . : Claim j Presented j Dr. William jM.

(Senator Lenroibt asked, "why Senator' McKeilar condemned a ration that offered to pay and was silent as to the ' nations which had not made offers.
