It sharpened blade descended on some of the peC "Ideas for Ore gon's governmental reform. Ex ecuted by the rout of indefinite postponement were resolutions to set up n-hoas legislature: to create the office of lieutenant governor; to pay legislators 1 8 per diem. An of these would hare required submission of i constitu tional amendments to the people. The senate killed the legislative brain-children in their Infancy. Senator Strayer, chairman of the ' resolutions ; committee, was lord high executioner. I On the Carney resolution for a one-house legislature Strayer declared Ore gon should wait to see how Ne braska's experiment came out: This Is no time to adopt such a revolutionary change in Oregon's legislature." j Senator Stringer also pleaded for delay to observe the working of the plan in Nebraska. Inefficient Claim Senator Carney, whose resolu tion would have established a legislature with from 30 to 36 members. called the present sys tem inefficient and cumbersome. Senator Staples, whose resolu tion to amputate the lower house was also defeated, said results would be more satisfactory if only one house sat. ; On the lieutenant governor bill Strayer again led th opposition, saying-1 would rather have some presidents of the senate than soma of the governors who had "been elected. I A senate bin to extend! the time for teaching humane education from 15 minutes to one hour a week was defeated on the adverse report of the education commit tee which opposed attempts to legislate courses of study. Sen. Angell. author of the bill, spoke for it. The Spaulding bill to prohibit liquor advertising was Indefinite ly postponed, the negative votes being Angell. Burke. Carney, Johnson, Spaulding, Staples, Stringer and Wheeler Wheeler's bill to require news papers to obtain affidavit or the verity of testimonials tn adver tising was indefinitely postponed. . 24 New Bills Appear The senate did pass nine bills and had 24 new ones Introduced, which makes its total 303. It passed a bill to extend the time for making veterans' loans to July 1. 1938. which is the consti tutional limit of time ! The Best bill to require the vote of that people of a county before a county health unit could be set up passed.

HS A 1 J BEAUTIFUL CUB, ACCUSE OfmWIM y Aroun'd The Lobby JAY Upton, former senator from Deschutes c o u n t y , who re signed two years ago to run against .Walter Pierce for. con gress, was extended the courtesies of the house yesterday morning. Upton is here In the interest of legislation to enable his home county to start on the construc tion of a new court house to re place the one destroyed by fire. Under the call of the house no member la allowed to leave until further proceedings are dispensed with. Usually members are glad to get out from under the call but yesterday it was not so. When three members were yet absent Representative Fuhrer, who had asked for the call, moved to dis pense with I further proceedings. Strange as it may seem. Repre sentative Allen objected and the house stayed under the proceed ing while the sergeant-at-arras hunted for the absent men. Ob jection was finally withdrawn. Vote explanations are get ting to be pernicious habit bnt all records were broken yesterday when Representative A. M. Essoa tried to explain bis vote on a call of the hease roll call. It might have been, "I don't know why bnt, I'm here." Catherine Park, . assistant on the Oregon j democrat legislative staff, gave in to the flu bugs yes terday. She was taken to a Port land hospital suffering from an attack of pneumonia. Watching from the-gallery of the house yesterday was William Graham, assistant insurance com missioner. He was taking in all the mores going on down on the floor, undoubtedly thinking of past sessions when he led many of the floor fights. Cigarettes and cigars play their part tn the legislative delibera tions but there Is another mea sure of the ; extent of committee work. As the session grows older, it is th doodles, circles, squares, checks and pictures, on the table tops that show the strain the leg islators are under as they study some new law. Some of the legislators with spirits wounded by the blant message of the governor, asked Attorney Oeneral Moody to draft a resolution of censure for them. Moody pointed to them the provision of the con stitution authorizing the gov ernor to address his views on legislative matters to the apply to health departments now established. One of the Lessard bills to lib eralize divorce laws was passed, SB 13S to allow a judge to grant a divorce where both parties have grounds of complaint, to the party least at fault. Other Les sard .bills to reduce the length of residence before a suit for di vorce could be filed received the adverse report of the senate com mittee on revision of laws. ' A bill by Ellis to make it un lawful for any person under 21 to misrepresent his age was passed.
