Senate Preparing
For Consolidation
Joke In Resolution
II- Harry X. Cm in
The senate Is about to perpetrate
Its hionnl.il consolidation Joke, up
on the state. Acting upon two res
olutions, one by Senator Tooze and
the other by Senator Hall provid
ing for the creation of commis
sions to examine into the consoli
dation of state offices and de
partments and report back to the
legislature two years hence, the
senate resolutions committee Mon
d.iy afternoon brought in a report
recommending that these two reso
lutions ha tabled and presented a
substitute.
The substitute resolution was ac
ceptei, and in all probability will
be adopted by the senate, and per
haps by the house.
While not a great deal can be
said of the original resolutions, the
Hall proposal being offered simply
to serve notice upon the legislature
that its author was washing his
hands clean of consolidation leg
islation at this session, the only
thing to be accomplished by the
substitute is the expenditure of the
$1000 appropriation it carries. It
provides for the creation of a com
mtesion of five members serving
without pay, one member of the
house and one member of the sen
ate, one citizen elected by the house
and one elected by the senate, with
these four to select the fifth.
.The commission is given all kinds
of authority with which to conduct
its Investigations, and not enough
money to pay for the services of
nn executive secretary or clerk, to
fay nothing of defraying the trav
eling expenses of the members.
It Is further stipulated that the
committee shall make a report of
Its findings and present a propos
ed consolidation bill to the next
session of the legislature, so that
it may be juggled and jumbled
about by the members who have
no more than a cursory knowledge
of the situation, and subjected to
the destructive pressure of the pow
erful lobby of the state office hold
ers. The committee objected to
the Tooze bill because the govern
or and the attorney general, who
might be Influenced by prejudices
favorable to certain state officers,
were mado members of the com
mission Senator Tooze proposed.
They turned right about and pro
posed to cast their bill upon the
tender mercies of the entire state
bureaucracy.
Although it was suggested in the
committee room in connection with
the hearing on the Tooze resolu
tion that the commission might be
empowered to draft a bill and sub
mit It to the people at the general
election in November, 1926, before
laying it before the legislature,
this plan was consplcious by tta
absence In the substitute resolution
brought In by the committee.
Oregon will never get any ef
fective elimination and consolida-

House bill 152. making provis
ions whereby railways can obtain
rights on water where necessary
for operating purposes, passed the
house yesterday afternoon with
only four opposing votes. The
measure threatened to stir up con
siderable opposition when it came

Amen linen's were made to the
measure which satisfied most of
the suspicious ones that the mean

be, a provision to make possible
the obtaining of water for steam
engines and coaches, without tak

was located

BEWARE THE
Chrome coughs and persistent cold
lead to serious lung trouble. You can
stop them now with CreomuUton, an
emulsi6ed creosote that is pleasant to
take. Creomulsion is a new medical
discovery with twofold action; it soothes
and heals the inBamed membranes and
lulls the germ.
Of all known drugs, creosote is rec
ognized by the medical fraternity ss the
greatest healing agency for the treat
ment of chronic coughs and colds and
other forms of throat and lung troubles.
Creomulsion contains, in addition to
creosote, other healing elements which
soothe and heal the inflamed mem
branes and stop the irritation and in
flammation, while the creosote goes on
to the stomach, is sbsorbed into the
blood, attacks the seat of the trouble
and destroys the germs that lead to
consumption.
Creomolsioa is guaranteed satisfac
tory in the treatment of chronic coughs
and colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal
bronchitis and other forms of throat
and lung diseases, snd is excellent for
building up the System after colds or
the flu. Money refunded if any cough
or cold, no matter of how long stand
ing, is not relieved after taking accord
ing to directions. Ask your druggist.
