The bill would allow the Justice $100 a month for clerical help oad $50 a month for rent, and wouli require an accounting for all fofs collected except those received for performing marriage ceremonial. That the bill will not meet with the approval of the grange, which caused the Introduction of a less generous bill in tne senate list week, is a foregone conclusion. A third bill, establishing the salary of the justice at $2400 a year and making hte court a dis trict court of record similar to those in Multnomah county la be ing drawn and should make its ap pearance sometime during tuc week. LAW TIGHTENED The law relative to liens on crops for irrigation water turnisb d would be tightened up by a bill Introduced today by Senator David. The bill provides that the per son or concern furnishing the water must, within 40 days after the water is furnished, or wituin 40 days after the close of the Irri gation season, file with the county clerk a claim containing a true statement of tho acocunt due ifier deducting all just credits and off seta, the date when the water w&s first supplied, the name or the owner of the corps and the name p! the person to whom the water wag furnished. Also a description of the lands would be required. The claim would be verified by the oath of some person having knowledge of the facts. Strict Regulation And Heavier Taxes For Busses Sought Due aud truck lines operating in Oregon wolud be placed under the public service commission and supervised in about the same measure as railways under haute hill 59, introdmed by Representa tives Oakes of Malheur and Swan of Linu yesterday afternoon. The measure, if passed, would place the bus and truck lines lin ger virtually the supervising regu lations an the rail operators. The bill fixes rates paid to the Ute for use of its highways on a basis of mileage, veight and with rela tionship of cost to the small car owners. It would mean a total of between 10 and 15 per cent tax on the gross income of bus and truck lines, according to Swan , who points out that the smallest rail road of the state pays around 4 per cent In taxes. The commission under the measure wo-ild require that per mits be taken out for definite routes. Thes? routes would have to be served as per the specifica tions of the permit. This particu lar provision reflects an expressed wish of the bus and truck opera tors who have frequently charged that temporary operators frequent ly rush into take the cream of business at certain seasons. Permits would be granted tor periods of not more than four years, but the eould be renewed. The public service commission would require regular reports and payments of fees. Penalty of 25 per cent would be assessed for fail ure to report. Public liability bonds would be required, amounting to $1000 for each passenger seat. Ron (Is would also be required for protection of freight shipments. The anual charge for operatim would be turned over to the stat fur highway maintenance and con struction. These charges would be as fololws: Passenger carriers, pneumatic tires, mill per seat multiplied by the number of miles traveled over paved highways; 1 mill for travel over unpaved roads. Passenger carriers, solid tires, 2 mills per seat multiplied by miles traveled over paved highways I 1-3 mills per seat for distance traveled over unpaved roads. Freight carriers with pneumatic tires, -cent per ton capacity multiplied by miles traveled ever paved highways; Vj-cent per ton distance traveled on unpaid roads. Freight carriers, solid tires, 1 cent per ton capacity multinnlied by distance traveled over paved nignvays; -cent per ton for dis tance on unpaved roads. Combination rates are provided ror in cases of combination ve hicles. Railroads operating bus and truck lines would be required to keep these accounts separate from their rail business. Expenses of enforcing the pro posed law would be derived from the general Income under it. Nine ty per cent of the balance received would be distributed as follows: Three-fcurths to the state high way fund; one-fourth to be paid by the secretary of state to coun ty treasurers in proportion to th amount of license fees received from each county.

Legislative Sideligh ts Stanley Myers, district attorney of Mutlnnmah county, was one of the busy outsiders active yest3r day afternoon In the lobby and two houses buttonholing legisla tors. v Frank Warren, prominently identified with commercial tish legislation in papt sessions and n member of the Port of Portland commission, made his first appear ance In the lobby yesterday. Milton A. Miller was a visitor around the capitol yesterday, call ed here by a meeting of the state board on vocational education to which he was recently appointed by Governor Pierce. Roscoe P. Hurst, Portland at torney and promineut in former sessions as a lobbyist, Is again on the ground to keep his eye and car close to happenings around the capitol. K. K. "Kap" Kubll, speaker of the house In the 1923 session, is again treading the legislative halls. "Kap" announces that he la particularly interested In Irri gation matters this year and will stick around until every attempt of San Francisco banking Inter ests to revise the arrlgation bond laws to their own advantage has been defeated. His program brings him In direct conflict with that of Fred L. GIfford, who Is sup posed In the lobby to further the changes sought by the San Fra'i cisco bankers. HOUSE BILLS SENATE PASSES I VETO OF PIERCE By a vote of 27 to 3 the senate passed over the veto of Li over nor Pierce the Dunn bill of the 1923 session, exempting from the In heritance tax assets left to chari ty. The bill particularly applies to the estate of one million dollars left by the late Bernard Daly to be us i'd In the educatio nln the state's institutions of higher learn lng of worthy students from Lake county. Under the existing Inheritance tax law estates left to established charfiiea are exempt from taxa tion, but estates-establishing new trusts for charity are subject to the tax, when In the case of the Daly estate would amount to ap proximately $200,000. Senator Upton, speaking in be half of the bill, said thai at the present time there are 45 students from Lake county attending the university, agricultural college and the normal school. White indicating to some extent the governor's strength in the up per house the poll of the senate on this bill is not to be looked upon as a test vote, because of the charitable and educational fea tures Invllved. The roll call show ed Eddy, La Follett and Strayer the only negative votes. Consideration of the veto brought forth the first burst of ora tory of the session with Senator Eddy taking tbe floor In defense of the veto, declaring the bill to be wrong In principle, and Gar land, Ritner, Butler and Taylor defending Its provisions. Senator Garland said that nowhere In the governor's veto message could be find any logical connection between the veto and provisions of the bill. H.

The fact that a person was armed with a revolver or pistol and did not have permit to carry the same would staud as prima facie tvidence ot intend to com mit a felony iu cases of a defend ant on trial for the commission uf a felony under house bill 63, in troduced by Lonergan, Multno mah county. The bill also pro vides for strict licensing uf deal ers. No unnaturalized person, or one having been convicted of a felony, would be permitted to obtain im'- chase permits. Lonergan explains that the measure, designed as a curb on lawbreakers and as a pro tective measure for innocent per sons, does not infringe on target shooters and others legitimately possessing and using firearms. In fact, the measure is one approved and sought in other states by tho United States Revolver association, according to Lonergan. A study of traffic condition and regulations thereof with the view ot cutting down the heavy auto mobile accident toll each year is the object of Joint house resolu tion No. 4, introduced by Graham, Washington county. A committee of two representatives ,one sena tor, the secretary of Btate and tho chief Inspector of the state traffic division, would be named to study the matter and make recommenda tions. . Office hours of county offices in Clackamas county would be set as follows In house bill 67, Intro duced by the Clackamas delega tion: From 8 u. m. to 6 p. m .on all days except Saturday and legal holidays. On Saturdays the hours would be from 8 a. m. to 1 p. m. The house committee on assess ment and taxation, reported favor ably on the bill Introduced by the Multnomah delegation providing for repeal of the 6 -mil I taxation limitation covering districts of more than 100,000 population. already betn prepared for 1923 and I Helgerson was requested to have them prepared for 1924. These will show the amount in fines and the number of prosecutions In each county for which the prohibi tion department Is responsible. Cleaver at first objected to pro ducing his records or giving the names of his agents without the consent ot the governor, declaring that the governor is head of the department. But he was Informed by Chairman Garland that the committee would get ' them any way. Cleaver said he would co operate in any way he could. IVMing AttHatto Cleaver declared that his report was his opening statement in the prob9. Relative to this he was severely quest icned by Senator Hare, who almost tangled the commissioner In regard to money paid to operatives In the counties. but Hare later explained that he was simply fruiting out the mental attitude of Cleaver as to his will Ingnes to cooperate. Asked If he had any suggestions as to proced ure. Cleaver said he didn't think a discharged and discredited em ploye of his department should be considered a competent witness. He was told by Uarlan-1 that these would be heard, but that the com mltteo would decide as to their mental attitude toward the com misaioner. Governor Pierce told tho com mittee he wanted the most care ful Investigation to be made, as sertlng that "we have nothing to hide." He promised a full account ing of his $4000 secret fund, al lowed by appropriation. Governor thorities, so that their wires arc often crowed. Cleaver, said Hel gerson, Interprets the law as plac ing the burden of cooperation up on the local officers, that Is re quiring local officers to cooperate with the state department but not the state department with the lo cal officers. Cleaver corroborated this statement. Helgerson defend ed the reluctance ot Cleaver to make known the names of all his operatives. "I wouldn't like to give you the names of all the men I pay In Polk county," he said. "Homo of them are moonshiners, who from professional Jealousy squeal on other moonshiners." Helgerson opined that Cleaver Hhould notify the district attorney of any county Into which he Is sending his men. Governor Pierce asserted that this could not be done in alt cases, citing Grant and Klamath counties as instances In which it would absolutely have tied the hands of law enforcement to do so. Mr. Cleaver said he had several times been requested by sheriffs not to notify them for the reason that It would upset their Nicht Couch Quickly Relieved This is the substance of a let ter received from H.

Adv. OPEN PROBE OF CLEAVER'S DRY BUREAU (Continued from Page One) and numerous suggestions were mads and some difference of opln Ion arose as to how the body sould proceed. Senator Johnson stood alone for sending broadcast throughout the state a call for any one who had any charges to make against the prohibition department nnd then listening to the represen tatives of the prohibition depart ment and giving them a chance to refute. All other members of the committee were for first getting the records from Cleaver, and ho was ordered to produce these forthwith. Check Record and Report Cleaver's records and his report will be checked against records to bs furnished by the district attor ney's association.

I Checks For Herwig Pierce was asked if Herwig was a salaried employe ot the prohl-1 bltlon department, and replied in the negative. "I don't want to be misunder stood," he said. "You will find two checks made out to Herwig, but theso will be explained." There was some air of mystery about this, for Garland replied: "1 don't think it would be for the good of the ncrvice for those checks to be diacussed publicly." After Johnson hat made his fight for a different procedure. Repre sentative Lonergan and Senator Hare took a stand for production of the records first, and Senator Butler called the committee's and the public's attention to the fact that the probe was not a prosecu tion and that Cteaver and his as sociates were not In the position ot defendants. Helgerson Testifies District Attorney Helgerson of Polk county was questioned at length. He said the district at torneys of the state had made no charges against Cleaver. He de plored the reading of the state pro hi bit ton law, which he said, divides authority between the prohibition commissioner and the county au- plans completely If a state agead appeared at the sheriff's office. Ihe governor's attitude on this question was defended by Repre sentative Fltzmaurlce.
