Riding- through on the strength
of the "round robin" signed by 16
senators before the measure had

of retaliation, the house Joint res

the narrow margin of one vote.

of Senator Eddy that uch acts as
these are undermining the confi

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

"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.

question. In the case of mutual

possihle to reach the necessary
number the delegation's bill pouts

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. Give your body the
balanced diet that Nature provides.
