THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON PAGE THREE SENATE VOTES SUPREME JUDGES MORE PAY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1925 E One of the bitterca. debutes to be heard iu the eenate tbi session, a ltd oiie that Involved an unusual alignment ot votes in the upper body ot the legislature, arose over en ate bill 2G, introduced by Sta ples, and propos-iiK to Increase tLt iu I a rles of the supreme court Jus tices from $5250 to (7500 a year The hill passed by a vote of 18 to 11, Senator Miller being absent. The ways and means committee on Wednesday returned au adverse report on the measure which was tabled when It came up for adop tion. Late yesterday afternoon Senator Eddy moved .bat the re port he taken from the table, which was done, and then moved :hat the committee report be intended to read that "the bill do ja-ss" instead of "do not pass." This s'artcd the debate. Eddv Favors increase. Senator Eddy called attention jo the hard work and personal sac rifice that must do endured by members of the supreme court, de slaring that they are severed from private business and cannot ute their money for speculation bj rause 1. interferes with their Ju dicial work. They have no oppor tunity, he said, to save money igainst old age. "Although the ways and means ;o mm it tee has reported adversely au this bill,'' said Eddy, "1 have ao doubt that many of them would like to see their action reversed." "No man," said Senator Hare, "having -.be atta.umenU requireJ of a supreme court justice should be adked to serve at a salary lets than ihat received by many a one horse, Jack-lefe country lawyer." Senator Staples, a member of the ways and means committee, but who introduced the bill, de tended it. "1 believe in being saving hut no parisomny." said Staples. "I believe a majority of the ways and means committee, had it not ben for the record they wish to flend bi.ck home, would have been for this bill." Zimmerman Assails Bill. Senator Zimmerman uss ailed the bill with venom. "Some of these Judged," he said, "were elected only three in on Mm agJ and they knew wha. the sal ary ot the office was. Some out says the country lawyers are mait ink more money than the supreme court judgea. I am glad to Un)v someone in the country is prosper ing, for certainly toe farmers and the small merchants are not. You talk about the dignity of the of fice. The best judges the country has ever had have been men who tluated in common society. if they do not they have no right to pa si on the problems of common people." Senator Garland spoke against the bill, declaring that the jus tices are not cloistered monks and that they have equal opportunity with anyone else to invest their nv.mey. "If they are able lawyers," Gar land declared, "they should have laid up something before thev reached the supreme bench. The honor is also worth something, and to have been a member of the lupreme court is the best adver tisement a lawyer can have." Senator LaKollett attacked the bill from the angle of the taxpay er. Johnson's Lotric Sound Johnaim, in explaining his af firmative vote, gave voice to a new doctrine relative to increasing ex penditures. "I am for this bill," he said, "because I think the judges de serve more money, but that is not my most important reason. I .im for U because I believe It Is time or us to force ourselves Into a po sition while we will have to find other sourcee for rnising money." Srnator Tooze, chairman of the senate ways and means committee, scathingly attacked the supporters of the hill when he explained his vote. "We are accused of plying poll tice.'' he shouted. "I resent thin accusation, and I resent the fa?t that this amended report Is being crammed down the throats of the W K -W I I fill U FRESH FROM OUR OVEN 10 YOUR TABLE come our brown, crisp, light, purs loaves of bread, (or the nourish Bent and health ot every member ot your family.

VI B LIBERTY EFFORT 10 FORCE The humdrum ot Thursday iti ernon'a house session was broken just before adjournment by a sud den sally ot Representative Cof fey, .Multnomah county, on Rep resentative Mott, Clatsop, m which be demanded that Mott be forced to report In house bill 405, the fish code changes. The meas ure is principally the work of Carl Shoemaker, ot the fish commis sion. It was introduced by Peirce of Curry county and referred to the committee on fisheries, of which Mott is chairman. Coffey charged -that Mott's ac tion in withholding the bill was to prevent it coming up before Mon day in order that by the time tae senate had acted on it and the gov ernor vetoed It, there would be co opportunity for repassing. ' Mott denied the charge, "I have no objection to turning the major ity report in, a report I under stood was prepared by Shoemak er' he declared. "I desired to put in a minority report with it aud had not been able -to get my ma teria 1 together. I don't under stand the sudden rush to have the bill brought in, in view of the fact that it was not introduced until the last possible day for new bills. I dare say it had been underway for four months or more." Mott explained that a clause in the bill to repeal the law agaimit licensing alien fishermen was the principal reason for the minority report he was preparing. He served notice that he want ed to speak at length on the bill and was unswervedly opposed to any rote being rushed on the mca3 for a special order of business at 11a. m. tomorrow. Mott accept ed the proposition. Fireworks are expected to be touched oft at the moment the bill comes up.

Senator Stanfield of Oregon Introduced in the United States senate today a bill to establish a system ot na tional home loan banke to be or ganized and operated under fed eral supervision for the purpose of making loans at low interest ratus and upon favorable terms of pay ment to the people in securing and paying for homes of their own. The senator saye: "The biggest thing our government can do in building American citizenship and combatting the destructive fofces ot bolshevism, socialism, extrava gance, unemployment and unros. is to aid men and women to secure homes ot their own. "This Is not paternalism, It J.; just the spirit of practical brother hood woven into the fabric of bat ter citizenship and better govern ment. The milk of human kind ness to sweeten ine cup of hard labor. "The bill Is Puny as construc tive as the federm rtserve system and the farm loan system have proven to be. "It this bill will do for the city dweller, the working man and woman, what the federal reservr system has done for the nation's banks and industry, or the farm loan system has done for the na tion's farmers, it will be one of the mast constructive pieces of legislation this congress has con sidered." The bill follows closely the farm loan system. foo appealing J to forget 1h You do not soon forget Hint which stands for perfect-coffee satisfaction Golden West.
