DELAYS PER S OiELClKS Is on again, as perennial as the war between the democratic and republican parties and as certain as taxes. There are friends, many or- them, to both sides of the controversy In either house. Off hand opinion has it that the legis lature this year will not do In 'SI what the voters of Oregon refused to do in the fall of '3D. j , Behind the scenes but none the less imminent, is a brewing fight coming out of the ways and means committee. The first storm mutterings arose last week when the j emergency appropriations were grudgingly approved. Sen4 ators Burke and Upton were es pecially loud in their cries of pain: and immediately went to work to see that the $500,000 deficit be4 tween outgo and budgeted ex pense should not occur again. - But deeper than this surface fight; is the one which may emerge from the ways and means committee if certain senators like Burke and Schulmerich ' prevail. They make no bones' about the fact they want the state to spend less money and by 'doing it. to wipe out existing deficits. When this is done, : these i advocates would keep the "lower spending policy np and pass the cuts along to the taxpayers. Burke's plan roughly would be to determine, first, how much rev enue is available, second, the ex act deficit and third, subtract this from the income. The remaining money and only thatj would be available for running expenses the next two years if Burke had his way. This would mean a $3, 000,000 cut in the budget and it would be felt alt down the line, in all departments and Institu tions, i i IIOUS E OF DAVID'S TROUBLES SM E (Continued from page D lltlcal friends would divulge the identity of the several candidates for these two offices.

Dalzlel spent the past Tt-sek In Salem, and was -said to have had at least one conference --ith Governor Meier. Sam Brown, a member of the etate senate from Marlon county and a close friend of Governor Meier, has denied that he is a candidate for the office of state market agent. Governor Meier also has the snnnintment of three members of the state industrial accident com mission, and a few minor offi- der a law enacted several years lago . the selection of all statii institution heads fs vested in tjie state board of control whicfa is composed of the gover nor, secretary of state and state treasurer. These institution su perintendents were said to be giving satisfactory service and it is not likely that they will be dis tributed. The only salary Increase bill affecting state offices that has been introduced during the pres ent legislative session has to do with the state insurance commis sioner. Governor Meier has let It be known that he does not favor salary increases for state offi cials at this time, and it is like ly that be will veto the measure in case it is approved by both houses. This bill was introduced In the house and was referred to the committee on state offices. It later will go to the ways and means committee for considera tlon. . j. Reports were current here yes- terday that 3overnor Meier wilt rruak to accent from the state a salary In excess of $1500 a year.. Thii la the salary of the gover nor, si fixed in the state onsti-p tution. The state laws proviae that the governor ihall receive an annual salary of $7500.

There Is a fight brewing in the legislature over highwaya al though there has been quiet m the political air to date. The hortcnt-roaa-iO-ine-coas. pti- sans are standing back and wait ing for something to happen. If It doesn't, either as a highway commission bill or as a legislative request from some other district for a road, the short-cut road backers will introduce fheir own : bill. Representative George Wins low of Tillamook will Introduce the measure and Winslow's idea now is to include both the road leading down the Wilson river to the coast and also the rjdge route to the Nehalem country. Wheth er the legislature will authorize this year this expenditure for a state highway Is highly problem atical Inasmuch as a $4,000,000 cost is attached to the proposition. All the Tillamook people can hope for, of course is to get the Toad approved and on the map with, the - completion a matter of years. : : (Continued from page 1) figured as an additional consid eration in the out-of-court set tlement is not known.; Not so easily satisfied was "Queen" Mary Purnell, Benja min's widow and ruler over a colony of 200 dissenters who fol lowed her into exile when she was ousted 'from the House of David two years ago.

FOUR PER GENT BEER PROPOSED Modification Measure put Up While Discussion Goes Merrily on i i . : . ; (Continued from page 1) , lng for much future discussion on prohibition. 1 The Bingham beer measure was 'sidetracked for : disposition of an amendment ' by Senator Blaine, republican, Wisconsin, to strike from the Howell bill pro visions allowing search and sel sures in homes upon evidence that stills are operating In them or that liquor IS delivered to them or removedfrom them. It was this provision which was condemned by drys as well as wets.

U RECALLED Mi 1 in ATLANTA. Ga.. Jan. 24 (AP) Anna Pavlova was a relentless and heartless taskmaster in re hearsal, Senla Solomonof f, at one time her pupil, recalled today.! The great danseuse, he said, told him often: "I am not your friend when yon dance. I am simply your teacher." i Dance artist and ballet direct or, Solomonof f formerly studied under the patronage of Pavlova. He appeared with her In her "Death of the Swan", "Pet rouschka." 'The Russian Wed ding" and many other works of her repertory. I Solomonoff mourned the pas sing of liis teacher and patroness. He recalled i meeting her as ' a youth in Moscow. He danced for her, and she generously, offered him room and I board, the bene fit of her teaching, and made room for him in her company. A series of tours followed and Solomonoff remained under Pav lova's tutelage from 1909 until the outbreak of the World war, "I last saw Pavlova last May." Solomonoff said. "I was con ducting a studio in Paris at the time and she paid me the high honor of inviting . me, her old pupil and protege, to dance with her. We went! through the mea sures of Raevl s 'Bolero togeth er. and I thought her more di vine in her dancing than ever. "She was very nervous always Never did I see her, before or during or immediately after a performance, thats he was not so And always, after a performance, the strain and ithe accumulated tension on heri artistry carried over. Long after the curtain had dropped and the audience had de narted. she would sit in a chair and try to relax her nerves." Solomonoff conducts a studio in Atlanta. ' ODE SO!! K I FROM TRIP EAST "I saw Oregon mentioned In the eastern papers Just four times In the two months I was gone," Dr. C. H. Robertson com mented last night in telling of a trip to Chicago, St. Louis and Rochester, from which he Just returned. At the latter place he studied at the Mayo cllnle, and also studied at the other cities. He i paid particular attention to hospitals In the east. The doctor says u is no won der eastern folk don't know any thing about Oregon, what with the little space the state gets in the papers there. Vhe four in lnstanees In which be found Ore s-en mentioned weres the Bowies case, given only ai few lines; the Corrallis boy in whose ear oar ley sprouted: thai Toledo story telling bow boy tied can to cow's tall; and an old story on passage of cars along Roosevelt highway at places where construction was not completed eight months or a rear ago. - " ! iA .
