Salem, Jan. 25. Plans for two ex
tra circuit judges in Multnomah, each
to be paid $3000 by the state and $1000
by the county, appeared in the house
today in a bill o f Representative Jae
ger. of Multnomah.
The responsibility of stockholders in
banking corporations will be increased
c onsiderably if a constitutional amend
ment, proposed by Representative Pur-
din, is adopted by the people. !t pro

all of the indebtedness of such corpora
tions and that stockholders in all other
co:p »rations shall be liable lor the
amount of their stock subscribed a d

Further demands for Normal school
aid developed in the house this after
noon when Applegate, of Douglas, in
troduced two such measures. One
calls for the appropriation of nearly
86000 to cover deficiencies resulting
from the operation of the Drain Nor
mal school for the year ending July 1,
1908. The other asks for an appro
priation o f $20,000 to meet the ex
penses of that institution for the bien
nial period ending December 31, 1910.
