The Tote taken on the free text book bill, mother's aid, billboards, and the old age pension bill, was only indicative of what will be done this morning in the regular session at which time an authori tative vote will be taken. Mrs. Ivan Martin of Salem spoke so ef fectively on the floor of the honse Tuesday night against taking ac tion on the bills without proper thought that she won a postpone ment of the vote. . After rllacnajtlon at the mock legislature in which heated views and anlendid arguments ware brought out, indications were that all bills would be supported with out opposition except tne Dmaoara measure the vote on wnica..wui b elose. ; Judge Jacob -Kanrler of Port land spoke by request on the pro posed motner s aid out. juage Kantler nointed out the detect in the present law to be that a moth er is allowed sz 10 r two enuarea and $10 additional for each child over that number, bat she loses all ' that" and the children are placed in an Institution under the present law if the mother goes out tn work to sunnlement that amount, even though it is impos sible for a motner and two cnu dren to live on 1 25 a month.

Members of the Hollywood Progressive Community club stated at their meeting Tues day' night they bad Information hat the company was planning to supplement its series of broad casts in the advertising columns of the newspapers, and reprints of those advertisements mailed to all of its patrons, with a folder which would contain arguments advanced by several prominent citisens ' against the purchase of the water system at this time. Clever Wordlna; of Propaganda Cited They further asserted that the company s folder would contain a reprint of the petition signed by 134 business men sometime ago asking the city council not to place on the ballot the 17000 bond issue proposal for an ap praisal of the water system. The water company s propagan da wUl be so worded, one member of the club charged, as to make it appear that the petition opposed the present bond measure, when in fact it was directed against an entirely different proposal. He added that one firm whose name appears on the petition in question, later circulated a peti tion to place the municipal owner ship eharter amendment on the ballot, and two Individuals whose names appear thereon, signed tire initiative petition, indicating that they were opposed to the $7000 bond Issue which would be re tired by taxation, but favored the purchase of the water plant since itlwould be self supporting.

Of these, 75 per cent have both parents liv ing, and one five percent are whole orphans. This condition Is becoming worse according to Miss Cottrell for the number ot children in in stitutions is increasing. This she attributes to home condition which may be going to wreck be cause of family desertion, home standards, ill health, poverty, and all these causes, said she, may be found in the rural community. or the town Just as quickly as in the city. Because this is true. Miss Cottrell asked the members of the federation to look closely to their own individual communities and see . If there was not something that could be done to Improve the welfare of the children in their community. Miss Cottrell pleaded for the public to become aware of the obligation it owes to the child and see to it that some means, prefer ably that which would allow the child to be with the parents, or foster parents ot repute, rather than being retained in institu tions, should be developed.

McBride quoted Fort as saying "the law permitted the making of liquor in the, borne." "You don't agree with his in terpretation?" Caraway asked. "We think that was a very good speech that he made, as a whole" the witness replied. "That is his interpretation. I think probably he is right." Imperfections Exist in Law Declare McBride "Do you think that ought to be the law,?" Caraway demanded. "The law Is not 100 per cent perfect yet," McBride said.
