WASHINGTON, Feb 6. .(AP)
-Confident of victory, house
farm leaders supporting the McNary-Haugen
farm relief bill to
day whipped into shape plans for
the final drive toward a vote on
the measure in. identical form to
that already approved 4y,the sen
ate. A vote is expected before.the
end of the week.
Although several barriers have
heen set in their course, they were
sq certain that the bill would be
passed by the house, that virtu
ally all speculation was directed to
the size of the majority and to the
attitude of President Coolidge.
Representative Dickinson, re
publican, Iowa, one of those lead
ing the fight for the proposal, pre
dieted that the house would give
it a majority ofJ5, votes while,
a poll conducted1- by other adva-
cates of it fixed the margin at 70

in his farm relief measure for that
in the McNary-Haugen bill. He
has announced that should this
move succeed, he would Immediate
offer his bill as a complete sub
stitute. . - ; - - .
The most serious attack upon

'Value "Defeated; .Forestry Bill
JKmnnl
Notwithstanding the fact thai
most of the argument on the floor
of the house was in favor of the
old age pension bill, the measure
failed to pass that body yesterday.
rThe measure, which was intro
duced by Representative Bronaugh
and Senator Banks, provided for a
pension Of pot to exceed $30 a
month to any person over 65 years
of age and who had resided con
tinually in the. United States for at
least 15 years and the state of Ore
gon for at least 10 years.
Representative Bronaugh, one o!
the coauthors of the bill, led the
debate in its defense. Pointing
out the fact that. 2 2 counties and
six states had already adopted an
old age pension and were more
than satisfied with the operation
of the law. "The demand for an
old age pension is steadily increas
ing," said Mr. Bronough, "and if
this bill is defeated it will un
doubtedly come up again and
again until it is finally passed."
He explained that under the pres
ent law where the aged poor are;
sent to poor houses or farms the
conditions were disgraceful. The
representative gave figures to
show that with the investment of
over $1, 000. 000 in homes and poor.
farms and the cost per capita of
over 1261 a year for each inmate
the cost would be less under his
bill. And although some of the
aged persons would be left in
homes one central home .could
take care -of all and would permit
the others to1 pass the remainder
of their lives in comfort.
Mr. JLewis asked the unanimous.
consent of the house to amend
the .bill raising the age limit to;70
years but Mr. Mott objected .and
explained his objections by saying,1
"that most -factories and corpora-

DIVORCE CHANGE
MEETS DISFAVOR
LEGISLATURE .EXPENSE BJJjJ
OF 120,000 APPROVED
Creal ion of Separate Motor .Ve
hicle Deportment Postponed !
Indefinitely
The senate yesterday defeated
Senator Joseph's bill to make in
sanity grounds for divorce In Ore
gon when 16 senators voted to
sustain an adverse report on the
bill.
Senator Butler said the bill
would reverse the policy under
which divorces have been obtained
in the state for years.
"This is a serious question," he
declared. "The law recogniaes
marriage as a civil contract and
it should not be dissolved because
of the misfortune of one of the
parties to the contract. Under our
present laws divorce can be ob
tained only through fault of one
of the parties. This policy should
not be disturbed."
It was the contention of Sena
tor Bailey that the proposed
amendment to the existing di
vorce laws would open the door
to fraud and intentional persecu
tion. "It is my opinion that our pre
sent divorce laws are too lax,"
Senator Bailey concluded.
Senator Klepper also spoke
against the .bill.
The senate also postponed in
definitely a bill introduced by the
roads and highways committee
providing for the creation of a
separate motor vehicle depart
ment. This bill was intended to
consolidate the motor vehicle di
visions now operated under the
direction of the secretary of state,
public service commission and the
state highway department. The
committee reported that while the
bill contained some good points,
the time bad not arrived when
such a consolidation should be
authorized. Fifteen senators voted
to sustain the adverse report of
the committee.
A bill introduced by Represen

districts to purchase textbooks
also was indetintely postponed.
