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

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.
Tooze to ask if be agreed with
Governor Pierce in his recom
mnedation that the supreme court
judges receive higher salaries.
Tooze answered that he did not.
The votes on the question of
amending the report was:
For Banks, tut tier, Carsner,
Clark, Corbett, Davis, Dennis, Ed
dy, Hall, Hare, Johnson, Joseph,
Klepper, Magladry, Miller, Ritnor,
Staples, Strayer. Upton, Moser.
Against Beats, Brown, Dunn,
Fisk, Garland, Kinney, LaFolIett,
Taylor, Tooze, Zimmerman.
Eddy moved that the bill be
placed on final passage and the
motion carried. On final passage
the vote stood the same as on the
motion to amend, except that
Joseph voted no and Miller was
absent.

LOAN BANK BiLL
SWIM'S PLAN
Washington, Feb. 13. 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.

Husband
There is a saying tlt to
very married woman thr
comes a time when she must
battle to hold her husband's
love that sooner or later"th
other womin" comes into his
life. Nellie faced this problem.
Her husband was as gentle
and kind as ever, but she had
positive proof that he was
drifting away from her. She
knew that a younger, prettier
woman was slowly but surely
occupying the place that only
a wife should occupy in his
mind and heart.
la True Story Magazine for
March, Nellie tells how she
solved this age-old problem.
Every married woman, every
girl who expects to be mar
ried should read it. It appears
