"The Ited Kimono" was lifted" almost in its entirety from the re cords of the Los Angeles superior court, and the utory of Gabrielle "GabrielbV of "The Red Kimono." J a masterpiece, both from the utandp'Mnt of a throbbing, never.-to be-forgotten drama, and as a dar ln humane and teuder plea for 'another chance" for those who have found the current of life too strong .for them.

We were not compelled to seek membership in this leg tela turea-ud if we received 10 per day we still would be making a contribution to the state. It is my opinion that a large majority of the members .or this body sought election with the idea that possibly they could be of some small service to the Mate. "This resolution resorts to subter fuge. When the constitution was adopted fixing the, salaries of Jeg lslators there was nothing contain ed therein which would indicate that the state would he expected to pay for our meals and lodging. It is such measures as the one now at issue that have brought con tempt upon. the legislature,. Our representative form of govern ment is breakirfg down, and we have arrived at a time when we cannot carry. out just legislation. I sometimes hesitate to do any thing in the legislature which would give the citizens jf Oregon additional grounds for criticism." Senator Eddy said lie doubted the wisdom of circulating a round robbin which he understood, had been signed by 16 members of the senate in an efffcrt to obtain favor able action on'the resolution. "I am not in sympathy with the the ory mat we Rhould rote as pup- i pets, when sdme one pulls the! string." ! "I wonder, quarried Senator ! Rtrayer, "how' maity of sub would be here today if we had advertised in the press and on thesplatform that upon our arrival in Salem we would vote ourselves a pay In crease? I venture the answer not one of you metn who were opposed In the campaign would have been elected under such a condition. We were sent to the legislature to represent and not to misrepresent. "I dont think it is.rlght.to vio late a solemn compact which I en tered into with the voters of my district. The people want.you men to. place your cards on. the table and not resort to subterfuge. It who has promised a business ad ministration to vote ourselves $20. 000. when the money is, needed by the orphans and Wards of this state. I am opposed to the resolu tion." It was the contention of Senator Hailey that an additional salary of $200 would not matee any roan honest. He branded the resolu tion a subterfuge, and urged its defeat. Senator Moser explained that when the constitutional salary of S3 per day for legislators was fix ed the best meal obtainable cost 25 cents, while room could be ob tained for $1 per night. He de clared that conditions has chang ed, with the result that the pres ent compensation for legislators was not sufficient to obtain the bare necessities. "I think the resolution is right and I have no apologies to offer." said Senator Hall, "if this reso lution Is adopted I expect to do nate the additional $200 to the orphans" home at Corvallis." Senator Dunne of Clackamas said that he signed the much aroused round robin in broad day light and that he had nothing to hide. Senator Joseph jokiagly refer red to the remarks made by Sen ator Staples. He declared that Senator Staples was a banker, had ample funds, had been provided with an easy job on the ways and means committee and apparently was having a good time. He re ferred to some of the other legis lators as being hungry, and hum orously remarked that the addi tional compensation might come in handy in tiding them over the session. Senator Joseph voted against the resolution. Senator Hare dealt at some length with the constitutionality of the resolution, which he pre dicted would be upheld by the courts. He referred to the salary of the state treasurer which was fixed by the constitution at $800 a year. This official. Senator Hare said, was now receiving $4. 500 a year despite the constitu tional limitation. "Representative government in Oregon is not tottering as Senator Eddy has Implied." said Senator Hare. "It is my opinion that the Oregon legislature stands higher in. the estimation of the people to day, than for many years past. Con ditions are steadily growing bet ter. . "If the time has come when a man must get down and crawl in the dirt to satisfy some long whis kered taxpayer our system is wrong." It was the contention of Senat or Hare that the resolution was right, and was not a raid on the state treasury as had been charg ed by some senators in opposition to the measure. Senators who voted for the res olution were Ranks. Deals, Bell, Butler, Carsner. Davis, Dunne, Hall, Hare. Hunter, Klepper. Mann, Miller, Mosfer, Norblad and Upton. Voting against the bill were Senators Bailey, Brown. Butt, Dunn. Eddy, Elliott, Jones, Jo seph, Marks. Staples, Strayer and Corbett. Senators Kiddle and Reynolds were absent.

It is now in the hands ; of the house ways and means com mittee and will no doubt be re ported out some time during the coming week. The Silverton armory has never been completely finished and at the present time there Ig a great need for floors to be laid in the basement and for other finishing work. Unless this Is done soon a much greater expense will be en tailed. When the armory was first proposed the city of Silverton raised 810,000 and Marion county $10,000 for it. The legislature appropriated $10,000 and Silver ton post of the American Legion and private individuals raised over $3000. This amount was not enough to complete the pro posed $40,000 structure and so for several years it has remained unfinished. Representative Paulson is spon soring the bill seeking the appro priation and says he believes it will meet with approval inasmuch as it will save the state money.

Jan. 19 (Special) With 11 victories and an average of more than 40 points scored in every game played this year, the Oregon basketball team will at tempt to repel the invasion of the Idaho quintet here Saturday night in the first conference game to be played in the 175.000 hoop pa vilion jut erected on the Webfoot campus. Basketball critics of the Pacific coast conference are almost unani mously agreed that the champion ship of the northwest section this year lies between Idaho and Ore gon, with Idaho having a little more backers than Oregon. The Webfoots won the northern cham pionship last season, walking through its 10 conference games without a loss, but this year will ie short some of the players who helped in the victory. Two new men. Scott Million, guard, and Gordon Hidings, forward , both, of Eugene, have won place on the juintet."
