Riding- through on the strength of the "round robin" signed by 16 senators before the measure had been so much as introduced, which pre-agreement Is said to have pre vented at least two members from voting their convictions for fear of retaliation, the house Joint res olution appropriating to tho mem bers of the two houses a day additional In the guise of "expense money" received the sanction of the senate yesterday afternoon by the narrow margin of one vote. Adopt-on was over the protest of Senator Eddy that uch acts as these are undermining the confi dence of the people In the legis lature and breaking down the Ideals of representative govern ment, coupled with charges by l:utt.

The resolution was reported out without lecotuinendatlon, Senator I hire, chair man of the l -esolu lions commit tee, explain in-.; that the committee was nf't harm onions, that u majority of the rommfitee was for It and n minority again1' -u it wart (hoiiKht best to repm-; it without re oini; tuiation ami let It go to a free-for-all fishi on I he floor. Senator Hint, opening tli fiht against the residution. declared the measure was not toii:M ituiion al for the reason that the c.m.Ml tut on limits the pay of ler l,i lora to $?. n day. "To pass It," he wid. "is to ig nore the constitution which we have sworn to support. should be tawmal.eis and r.-H law bre.ik- cra. lie cited an rlxtion In v.M-h I he people hail turn vl down n similar me.-iMiie and dvnian.l.'d a roll c;'ll vole. SajM CuitlriKt VIolulcil "I consider that when I v.'.i- ejected to this pen-de," said Sen ator Staples, "that I made nn 1m-: piled contract w .th the people. ! They nre the other parties to the contract and are not here to de fend themselves. We are their hired men. Who of you would en- pert his hired men to raise their own wages." Staples was heclth-d by several senators, who since they knew the measure was sure of passage, wcr In a highly good humor. Staple cited other extra va git r res. Slap ping the Oregon Cod.-, which a generous stale places on the desk of all members, Suplos said: "These are an ettravagance. I don't understand them, and no twn of theso smart-alecl; lawyers agree on them." Remit or Ranks, spejl.lng on th other utie, iieclarert there was nothing In the resolution that doe: violence to the constitution for the reason that the rmntituiion.il provision refers "entirely t. coin pensation while the resolution pro vides "expense money.' "Tho resolution does not com pel anyone to ncce.pt tit .a money. but I venture the kucss that the senator from Vamhill will sign a receipt at tho end of the session." IMinn Ridicule Itill Per.ator Dunn of Jackson poked fun at tho resolution. "Folder the present system," he said, "we have In this wnate th" finest body of men t hat could be gathered in this slate. While we can get plenty of gonj men to work for $! why pay more. If s good business to keep t: at $3," Senator Joeph reminded the opposition that when the consti tution Was udopled me. its cost cents nnd tho finest hotel roiiv. uild be gotten for It a n ght. He predicted that the resolution would 1 1 lace the leg is i at ure on a higher plane. "People now say, Mtmer com plained, "that they don't under- tand h'w men can come here for $-1, nnd they seem to think then Is loin ma ft In It. You and I know there Isn't." . 'S'tiator Moser says he know- t hero Is no graft here," Senator Joseph said. "He may know li, but I don't. I have seen men conie here wearing hand-me-downs, and by the middle of the session thev would be wealing tatlur-madi clothes. Subterfuge t' barged The resolution's reference to ipense money" Scn.itor Fddy branded as a subterfuge. CM Ing various restrictions upon the leg (slat tire that have been placed In the constitution he declared: "Mistrust of the legislature Is engrained In Ihe constitution, and the old Idea of representative gov ernment la breaking down. I re sent (his distrust thit Is beinc voiced about, the state, and I hes itate to do anything in the legis lature that will cause distrust to grow. If we defeat this resolution we will do much to keep tho con fidence or the people. It waa brourht before the l.yislature by tho circulation of a paper for the mem I ers to s n. Senators. I commiserate with you that yon have signed away your right to vcte your own judgment. It Is a reprehensible way to bring legis lation before this body, and it makes you mere automatons, mere puppets, who vote as some one ele pulls the strings." Senater Hall said he was going to vote for the measure because he considered It riijht, and thai ho had not signed any agreement. 1 led eve in adequate compen snti.n," Hall said. "I practice It with my own employes: and I have voted for neatly nil the salary In frease bills that have come up since I have beep in the senate. I am perfectly willing to tell my constituents that I have done so." Senator Dunne of Portland ad mitted to signing the paper, and said he did it in broad daylight with his eyes op-n. "I don't like the argument that you can make a man huiiPHt for .a day," declared Senator Rai ley. "If a man is crooked this ex tra Sl'oi) isn't going to make hhn straight. I am against It." Rare Not Ri-k Vole "I am wondering." spoke Sen ator S'rayer, "how many of you senators would have had the cour age to tell yi..;r constituents tlmt as soon ;s y--u pot to Salem and were s-,v..i i) in y..u would vote (J.i'o) ii:tn your own pockets. Had you d"iie k I am wondering lo w n-nny (1f you would have been elected. I'll venture that not a corporal' guild of Voii would b,' here. We wre s-iu hero by the pe.ple. ni:d the people would not appr.ue m-h i,n indirect method of be.uieg l;e dovil a.-ound Hie stump. I don't think it is fair with our governor, who, I i-iid'tsi and is trying to give lis a husiiHTs n ti-.i in ij i-.ni..n." St-n.it. .r Hare, el.i-.in- the de bate said the sp'-eeh.. of the op posing men, l.eis reminded him of th" story of the devil shearing a pig. "lie Is reportrd to have said," the senator ivcounied. "that he got a hell cf a squcai nnd very lit tle wo.)l." He opmed that St rayer had the wrong idea in thinking si lei:i!.itor "must get down on his belly nnd crawl to satisfy some old long-bearded taxpayer." Hare declared that the legisla ture stands higher in Jhe estinia t on or the people than ever be fore, and that If tho resolution Pissed he was going to cheek up at t lie end of the session and find out now many of the opposing senators "took their fhaie of th swag." ALTERS TESTS FOR MUSIC TEACHERS In reorganizing the work of ac crediting music teachers for work In connection with the Oregon senoois state Superintendent C. A Howard has tentatively planned a system that bus not heretofore been used In Oregon. Instead of having applicants sub mit their applications at any time of the year he would have them sent In for the attention of the ac crediting committee In August and January, to conform with the semester division of the school year. Applications would be sub mil ted anonymously instead with names signed, nnd would be considered by the committee. Tho committee would be small one and would be appointed for one session only, so that the personnel at one meeting might or might not be different from that of the preceding meeting". ASK WHY O.A.C. GIVES NO REPORT Investigation of the reasons why tho o. A. u. haa not complied with the orders of the 1923 session of the legislature calling upon It for a detailed financial report is sought by Representative Edward Schtil merfch of Washington county. He introduced a house resolution this morning calling for the appoint ment of a committee of three to find out why nn Itemized state merit of O. A. C.'s expenditures haw not bet-n made. WOULD LIBERALIZE RULES FOR MUTUALS A bill providing that mutual insurance companies may change their articles of Incorporation any regular meeting by a vote of members present, was Introduced In tho house by the Yamhill coun ty delegation. At present the law provides that two thirds of the stockholders must vote on the question. In the case of mutual so numerous that it Is almost 1m- possihle to reach the necessary number the delegation's bill pouts out. It Is understood that the bill is primarily for the convenience of the Oregon Fire Relief o"s---l- liou of Mcllinnville.

Nature is Man's best Dietitian retake her advice W f y "mmm -jbsvh 3 s.';Ti A'M J ii 'a . 1 .im zzi The whole trouble with our eating these days is that we are getting away from the kind of diet Nature intended us to have. Foods are being refined, denatured, and devitalized. We eat too much of some elements and not enough of others. Our diets have become unbal anced and unhealthful, simply because they have become unnatural. Whole wheat supplies all the food the body needs in perfectly balanced form But eat whole wheat and you get just the things that the dietitians say are necessary to health and strength. Eat Shredded Wheat and you get whole wheat in its most appetizing form, easy to digest with all the proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and mineral salts in just the right pro portions as Nature intended. And bran, too, every bit that was in the grain to help you keep your sys tem clear and active. Make Shredded Wheat a part of your daily diet for breakfast and for luncheon.
