Mills Bill Amending Primary System Goes Before Legislators The Ions discussed -change In the primary election laws of Ore gon popped up In the house yes terday afternoon In the form of house bill 85, introduced by the judiciary committee. The bill em bodies the Ideas set forth several weeks ago by A. L. Mills, president of the First National bank of Portland, who Is sponsor for the measure. The first departure from the present primary law would be In the holding of a series of post primary conventions following county, district, and state primary elections Instead of the present single primary. County conven tions would be held In each county where necessary on the second Tuesday In July of each year in which a general election occurs. District and state conventions would be held on the second Fri day following the second Tues day, two weeks after the county conventions. Another vital change would be brought about In the law by a provision that all candidates In the primary election who did not receive a vote equaling 40 per cent of the total vote cast, would be compelled to go before these county, district, and state con ventions and obtain a party nom ination If they desired to become candidates for office at the gen eral fall election. Persons not candidates at the primary election would be permitted to go before the three conventions for nom ination. The system of conventions Is built upon the county conven tion which in turn is composed of one delegate from each precinct In Legislative Members of both houes and the sergeanl-nt-anre were flooded with telegrams yesterday from people who wanted to know where and when the prohibition inveti gation meetings would he held. Public Interest in this activity ap pears to be greater than in any thing else before the session at the present time. Herb Hauser is a shorthand re porter for the public service com mission. Eight years ago be was a clerk in the house for Represent ative CrandiiH or Vale an 1 a young lady acqnuintunce of Hand era's was a clerk for the enrolled bills committee.

This morn ing he came back a married pian. I move the congratulations of this body be extended my clerk, Mr. Herbert Hauer. Somebody amended the motion to include the young woman clerk of the enrolled bills committee, end so it was en tered In the journal of the house, doubtless the only instance in Oregon hietory in which such an entry has been made for the archives of the stale.

Usual residence qualifications for coun ty delegates are included In the measure. Each candidate for precinct delegate would be required to file with the county clerk a peti tion signed by ten registered voters In his precinct. Size of the state convention for each party Is limited, under the measure, to 600 members to be apportioned among the various counties according to prorata ap portionment based upon the vote cast by that party In each county In the state, provided, however, that each county shall have two delegates to the state convention, and the remainder of the 600 or 628 will be divided among the counties. No county would be permitted to have more than 20 per cent of the membership of the state convention. The latter pro vision Is made on account of Mult nomah county. The district convention would be held at the same time as the state convention, provided always that It Is necessary to hold a party district convention due to the fail ure of any district candidate to receive 40 per cent of the vote cast at primary election. Conventions would be open to the public. Nominations would have to be unanimous except on cases of rollcall or by ballots cast by members. Vacancies in the lists of certified delegates-would be filled by the state central com mittee, If In session, or by the executive committee of either, as the case might be.

'Tlie proposed bill cute 40 per rent oft from the license fees. but to reimburse the etate fund created for retiring and meeting the interest on highway bonds a companion measure Is proposed to increase the gasoline tax to 5 cents. No such provision Is made to reimburse the counties for the Ions to be sustained, however, and to provide for this an even greater increase In the gasoline tax would have to be provided. There is little hope of passing a gasoline tax bill calling for a levy ot more than 5 cents a gal lon, and there will be strong op position to placing It even at that figure. Loss Buns Hich As the proposed bill now stands it would rob the countioB ot a to tal of (455,859.54 on the basis of the license fees paid Into the etate treasury between January 1 and September 15, 1924. In those eight and a bait months the to tal ot license fees collected amounted to 14.774,011.09. of which the counties received $1,- 139.936.18. On the strength ot this dlvls ion of the license funds practical ly all of the counties have under taken more or less extensive road construction programs, many of them bonding themselves in anticipation of title source of revenue for funding purposes. Figuring on the basis of the receipts tor the above mentioned period of eight and a half months Multnomah county would lose $172,365.75 through enact ment of the proposed bill, Marlon county would be deprived of (28,476.99 now being utilized on Its road program; Lane county's loss would be (23,455.96; Linn) county (12,279.37-; Jackson county (16,236.97; Coos county (14,226.04, and the losses of other counties would be as fol lows; Baker (7,147.03 Clackamas (8491.82 Clatsop (10.818 Columbia (7615.32 Crook (1464.98 Curry (1758.01 Deschutes (7934.72 Douglas (11,115.14 Gilliam (2055.63 Grant (1854.43 Harney (1407.40 Hood River (5561.29 Jefferson (1076.26 Josephine (5432.78 Klamath (10.123.20 Lake (1850.23 Lincoln (2672.86 Malheur (3004.77 Polk (7586.35 Morrow (2594.84 Sherman (2406.20 Tillamook $6525.93 Umatilla $13,734 98 Union $7889.88 Wallowa (.1103.34 Wasco (7654.01 Washington (14,245.20 Wheeler $942.91 Yamhill $10,938.94 TRESPASS BILLS Three bills designed to pro tect farmers agalnet tresepawjerfl, particularly tourists who Invade the p remittee of farmers for ar ticles of food, were introduced yesterday by Senator Sam Brown of Marion county.

The governor gave an account ing of the slightly .ess that. $4000 that be has expended from th: fund placed at his disposal. "Was any of the money at your disposal used as marked money : asked Senator Hare. "Yes, $500," the governor an swered. "Wes It to test the honesty of a public official?" Hare wanted to know. "Yes. We were on the rifilit .rack, but it failed. George h. Cleaver, prohibition commitifcioner, who is being in vestigated, was delayed in his ap pearance by an uutomobile mis hap. When he came in Senaivr Garland asked: "Are you here with your trunk ful of records, Air. Cleaver?" "1 haven't a trunk,' answers I Cleaver, "but I have half a dozen eultcases." The probers recessed for 10 minutes and Garland dispatched a trio of members with Cleaver to horse the records up the stn.rs from the Becoud floor. They re turned wtih suitcases and grips that bulged with documents, can celed checks, letters and other pa pers. When the prips and satchels were opened the inquisitorh.1 heads swam for half an hour. The committeemen were prepared for a man-sized job, but didn't expect anything like this. When nor malcy bad been restored and tiie members could again articulate coherently, Chairman Garland ap pointed Senator Johnson and Rep resentative Swan as a suh-cummii-tee to check over the financial records, with Repreaeutatlves Lonergan and Hurlburt as a relay committee to alternate with them on the job. Senator Eddy and Representative Rushlight were named a sub-committee to read the correspondence. This progress wasn t attained without considerable travail. Lon ergan moved that the records be examined before further witnesses were examined. Garland thought the motion should require that the governor and Cleaver retire, but remain at hund where they could be called. This was dono. Representative Fltzmaurice. who is easily the most dignified mem ber of the group, after standing with arms folded for Borne minutes making a broad survey ot the sit uation, moved that an expert ac coun ta nt be employed to go over the records. This wasn't done. Senator Johnson threw off his coat, flexed his muscles and bit extra hard on the toothpick that he habitually carries betwixt his Hps. Ho euid: "Gentlemen, it Isn't goln ? to be necessary to check nine-tenths c: these vouchers. We wilt find that nearly all of them are little dinky items that don't amount to a hoot.' "How you goln' to get Into 'em if you don't go fnto 'cm?" Swan wanted to know. The upshot was that both John son and Swan landed on the com mittee to go Int.-) 'em.
