and removes the power of the gov
ernor to make appointments or to
remove commissioners in the port
of Portland.
f Art Said Disgusting
: Holding that the acts pf Gover
nor Pierce were "disgusting,"
Representative Mott, of Astoria,
cast one of the two negative votes
against the 'passage of the port
commissioners' measure' in the
house. There 'is ho' necessity for
such rush,' he held, pointing out
it was not a legislative function to
name commissioners of the' port,
which should be- left to' the board
of control "or the citizens of Port
land. It is wrong to take ap
pointive powers from the gover
nor, much as they may meet with
public disapproval. A majority of
the actions of the governor were
deeply deplored, but the principle
involved was. wrong, he said.
After the roll call was announced
Representative Miller changed hi
vote to "no." j
The proceedure under whick
the measure ; was passed was
termed by Senator Sam 1 1. Brown,
of Marion county, as the greatest
example of "steam roller" legis
