of George L. Ck-iiVfi, state iv-j-biibtiuu
co.iiuiii-s:o..er.
Cleaver claims he was baud,
cupped iu extending the uperu'.ioiu
Of bis department over tbe st ite
because of inadequate financiil
provision by tbe legislature. The
turn of $2u,0U0, he says, was far
too small and allowed only abi.ut
J500 for each county.
Most county officials are given
end it for cu-operalitig heartily iu
nlorcemcut of the law.
"Only 2& per ceut of all cjju-s
filed have beeu lost or dismissed, "
lays the report, "and over UO per
ceut of those arrested have enlcr
Id pleas of guilty. This uaa aiatlu
possible the saving of huge suuia
of money to the various counties
In prosecuting the cases.
"During my administration we
have secured the conviction of six
county officials tor violating the
law and two are uow doing tim?
In the state penitentiary,
"More tiiau a thousand iuvestl
gatioiiti have been made by our
men in which we did not secure
sufficient evidence for a case, ocn
luming considerable time and ex
pense." Enforcement of the narcotic law
la said to be the most difficult
work of tbe department. lie turns
troin fines, or -.5 ner cent of Hi
hole totals $0445.25, declared to
06 lnsumcient.
The difficulty In securing hon-
Mt operatives is deplored. Eight
ticn and ono woman have been
lischarged for cause.
A well organized yetcm of rum
running between Canada and Se
attle and Portland has been dis
covered, eays the report, which
will require the combined action
of the state and federal forces oi
Oregon and Washington.
The only recommendation In th?
report is that the legislature la
crease the amount from fines to !jj
paid to the stato from 25 to 50
per ceut, without any limit. The
report claims that not more t!iau
live agents have ever ben on sai
try at any one time.
The total number of prohibition
.rises handled by the department
vag 1218, and narcotic cases 15, a
rrand total of 1233. Prohibition
lines aggregated 1271,903.65 and
narcotic $1150, a total of $275,
053.63. Intoxicating liquor and
Bash destroyed totaled 28.144 qal
lonfl. A total of 134 stills were
eized and 43 automobiles were
lonfiscated. The total cost of pro
hibition cases was $49,834.16 and
K narcotic cases $6445.25.
The amount collected In flnos
from tbe counties in 1925 wae
$174,415-78 and In 1924, $203.
176.30. The report sti.tes that in tho
summer of 1923 the governor re
quested the prohibition commis
sioner to use his men as special
tsents. Relative to this the re
port says:
"The Oregon Blue Book shows
lhe appropriation of $10,000 lor
Ihis work in 1921-2, and the act
sal expenditure ot $13,242.30
ii ore than the appropriation, or a
total expense for the two yeara
? receding the present adrainisi.ni
lon ot $23,242.30 for state agents.
The appropriation for this pur
pose in 1923-4 was $4000 of which
.mount $357.50 has been turned
back .o the general fund a dif
ference of $19, 599. SO effected by
the combination suggested by ta:
(overnor, and the saving ot a sal
iried chief special agent."
The more important cases that
save come up under the dep.it t
mcut are gone into in detail in the
report. These are the Portland
Press club case, the Lab be case
tnd tbe cage of the British ?hip
London Merchant. The latter .
to be investigated carefully by thr
legislative committee appointed
for the purpose.

a single county, or of one or more
municipalities of one or more con

It Is provided that whenever the
Inhabitants of such a district as
deAcrlbeJ above decide to create

for water and power development
there sha.l be filed with the sec
retary of state a petition contain

per cent of the registered voters
within the territory where the
voters within the territory where
the municipality Is propose 1 to be

shall check the names with the
county clerks if necessary, for
genuineness.
The secretary of state shall file

for raising $ 1,000,000 over Il

lowed by law will be introduced
into the house by the Multnomah
delegation It was decided at a
meeting held yesteiday afteruoon.
1 he measures are designed spe
cifically for the relief of school
district No. 1 of Multnomah couu
ty.
The delegation was unamtneus
in voting to iutroduce the bill and
resolution as a delegation proposi
tion. Representatives Bennett aud
Ccrmau held that the sum of $1,-
000,000 wax too large. Bennett
suggested tbe sum of $750,000.
The resolution would permit
school district No, 1 of Multnomah
county to add $1,000,000 to the

tal thereof as a basis for future
levies with the 6 per cent pro

North Bill to
Personnel
Board Spite Measure
By Hurry N. Craiu
Another of the bills designed to
shear Governor JMcrce of the Prero
gatlves of his office made its ap
pearance In the house yesterday
afternoon, when Representative
North presented his third bill to
have as its object the restriction of
the chief executive's control of
state departments.
The bill seeks to amend Section
13 of Chapter 201. which names
the personnel of the state bonus
commission.
As the law now stands the gov
ernor, the secretary ot state, adju
tant general and two commission
ers appointed by the governor com
prise the commission, and the
amendment would take from the
hands of the governor the privil
ege of appointing two commission
ers, remove the adjutant general
from membership, and substitute a
board composed of the governor,
the secretary of state and the state
treasurer.
While the bill is thinly disguised
an attempt to centralized con
trol of all departments disbursing
and loaning public funds by plac
ing upon It the state treasurer,
thoso closely in touch with the
history of the bonus commission
and Its Internal affairs during the
past two years see In it the first
of the biennial crop of spite billi
that make their appearance at the
instigation of disgruntled officials
every session.
They see In It tho outcropine of
the antagonism and conflict that
has been a constant attendant up
on the membership of the bonus
commission ever since Major W. 1
Simpson became acting secretary
and later secretary of the commis
sion. Major Simpson has been a
constant target for the attacks of
the republican members of the
board, without visible provocation
for which Justification has been

given In a single instance.
In face of the splendid record
for efficiency and economy that
has been established by the bonus
commission during the past two
years, those funiilLir with the af
fairs of the commission declare
that the proponents of the North
biil are going to find themselves
lacking several of the required
number of votes necessary to en
act the measure in either house,
particularly if it becomes a mat
ter of passing the bill over the
veto of the governor.
Several members of the house
and senate, who mlht be expected
to favor curtailing the powers of
the governor where they had been
abused, last night expressed them
selves as being opp Mod to any tam
pering with the bmus commission.
and branded the North bill as un
adulterated politics. Among these
members there is a general will
lngness to be shown wherein Gov
