intention of the framern of the
constitution that the offleeof leg
islator should be a lucrative one.
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

elected under such a condition. We
were sent to the legislature to

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.

BILL B S5.00D
TO FINISH ARMQRY
Structure Needs Completion I
Badly or Greater Ex
pense Coming Soon
A bill was introduced in the
house Tuesday by Mark Paulson. ;
which asks an appropriation ofj
$5000 to complete the armory at i
Silverton. 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.

UNIVERSITY O F OREGON.
Eugene. 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." They. have, had some
difficulty "In working into their
new positions and Oregon fans
have commented on the tendency
of the three veterans to hold the
ball or: pass It among themselves
to the. exclusion of the newcomers.
tVtaeit Dill lleinhart has worked
hard to eliminate any evidences of
"lcalng-lady" basketball, and tbe
n-sults - sem constantly better,
Idaho has" a well-balanced tealn
with a powerful offensive and a
brilliant defensive. The contest
Saturday will be the crucial; one
of the year for the two schools.
In order , to accmul(ate'
huge crowd anticipated arrange
ments have been made for th9
