Speaker Knees Haiti Tiw.k.
It doesn't seem likely that such
n mess will come to pass, but the ex
pression of one ot Jones' closest
friends is put down here for what
It Is worth. It Is generally assumed
that the Jones organization will
stick until after tho votes arc count
ed at least and there doesn't seem
to be much likelihood that the
Clarion county contender can now be
defeated for tho place.
But what may happen after the
election "must glvo us pause" as
Hamlet used to say in some ot his
more worried moments.
Jones -will go into the high scat
with from 25 to 28 members who
might vote for him. but who had been
pledged for Durdick and who are not
at all satisfied with tho outcome ot
the situation and who are taking
their defeat In grim and sullen si
lence. On top ot that it is certain
that a number ot the men who signed
up with Jones when It still appeared
that he has a hard fight on his
hands are going to be dissatisfied
with the organization in some par
ticular or another and when the
houso gets down to business there
will be a great disgruntled element.
Tho best guess is that this element
is igolng to do everything in its
power to jilaco tacks in the scat ot
the speaker's chair.
This is going to spell trouble be-,
fore the session is over and harmony
may havo no place at all in the ces
sion Just coming up.
( Jonc Slightly Worried.
Tho possibilities bring up recollec
tions of the time when Den Selling
was speaker ot the house and the
very organization that elected him
arose one night at a Into season und
demanded that he bo unseated. Ho
wasn't unseated, but tho little dovo
of harmony fluttered with all tho
Bpeed of hor tiny wings right square
out of the hall of representatives
and returned no more for that ses
sion. Jonoa hlmiolt is a trifle worried
about the outlook, and while he Is
not shouting it from the housetops,
the same in known to somo of his
close friends who havo boon advis
ing him to keep u close lookout on
Ills band of pledged followers.
What effect possible unharmonlous
situations may have on prospective
legislation, of course, Is n matter of
conjecture, but it will no doubt mean
trouble It efforts are niado to put
over-the legislation squarely through
the organization and the opposition
finds that this method Is being used.
Whatever tho situation proves to
bo as -far as the house Is concerned
It Is safe to predict that there will
bo no smooth fitting organization
such as has been seen In somo ses
sions of the past.
In the senato It Is hard to say as
yot Just what will bo tho nnturo of
the organization. It Is always easier
to preserve an organization In thnt
body than In the house. It is
smaller, and consequently not so un
wieldy. On top of that It generally
Includes a majority ot men who
havo had lcglslattvo experience to a
greater extent than tho majority In
the house and men who are more
familiar with the general principles
of grinding out laws. As a result the
upper houso as a rule works' moro
harmoniously and moro directly to
the point than the lower houso and
the semblance ot a working organiza
tion is generally found there, even
when tho organization in tho houso
has gono to smash.
Vnlley Men Grab Priet.
One other big feature will bo ap
parent throughout the wholo ses
sion, which may be touched upon
while tho harmony subject is under
discussion. And that is the unusual
situation which will find two Willam
ette valley men in the high places.
For tbo first time In a long spaco ot
Oregon legislative history men from
the valley are occupying both the
presidency of tho senate and tho
speakership ot tho house. This
doesn't set well, either with a great
many of tho Eastern Oregon or Mult
nomah members, or does It exactly
lit into tho scheme of tilings with all
of the members from Southern Oro
gon. Whllo In nn Ideal legislature
It Is conceded this should muke no
difference, no one has ever upcusod
any Orogon legislature as yet of be
ing ideal and it Is generally admitted
it Is too late In the game to start
doing ho now. Geography nlwaa
cuts a deal ot figure in lawmaking
bodlos and It is bound to this time.
To tho Eastern Oregon members
the fact thut tho falloy has a man
sitting Jn the seats of the mighty
on each sldo of tho big rotunda is
going to be llko waving the red rag
In front of the proverbial bull, and
troublo is bound to ensue.
Also It In likely thut more tlinn
ono iMntion county ttiun will
find his way onto tho wnH utid
means committee. This will bo par
tlcularly truo u the llquso. J onus
will bo too foxy to try to slip tho
chairmanship ot thnt 'commltto to
a Marlon county man, hut ho
find u place for tit least ono man
from this county on the committee
and probably two. It moro bIiouIiI
laud n howl Is going to arise that
will shako tun very heights. There
has been somo rccurraueu ot the
cry of "Sulom Hog" rising In with
tho probabto election of Jours, and
It there Is nuy Indication that the
money spending committee Is to bo
in any manner backed with a Mar
lon county showing, It will rankle
and rankle deep In somu sections,
Secret Conrlmrrt Held
Another factor also Is bound to
develop. Marlon county has always
voted against appropriations tor
outside movements when they havo
confronted the voters of this county
on Initiative and referendum ballots
and tho last straw came when this
county helped snow under the nor
mal school hill at tho last election.
Uoth eastern and southern Oregon
were Interested in that bill and
mntfv ot tho peoplo from that sec
tion see in this vote it recurriincn
ot what they term an undying hos
tility ot Marlon county to their pet
Ideas. This undercurrent of feel
ing is nlso bound to crop up along
with tho election of Jones und the
other eventualities clted
Some secret political conclaves as
u forerunner to the legislature havo
brought forth qulto n handy polit
ical story from tho wlseheads.
The story goes that these little
conferences, In which State Treasurer
Kay's name has been mentioned
frequently havo been for tho pur
poso of framing n bill to put tho
weights and measures department,
now under tho treasurer's otflco,
under the Jurisdiction of the public
scrvlco commission. Tho story Is
thnt representative Weeks of Mar
ion county Is to Introduco the bill.
All ot thnt Is old stuff, hut the
adjunct comes along In tho conncc-1

and Prosperous
New Year
&
tlon which Kay has had with tbo
move, or which lie is alleged to havo
had, and this Is founded somowhnt
on the portion ot his recent report
recommending shoving the weights
and measures oftlco Into the scrvlco
commission, unless a largo number
of tho scrvlco commission's powers
aro turned over to tho weights and
measures office.
Seek to 8m e Kny Machine
Tho wlseheads see in tho play a
plan to prcsorve a few remnants of
tho shattered Kay muchlno which
was splintered ull to flinders when
O. P. Hoff nosed out Judgo Kyan
for the trcasurershlp.
The wlseheads say that Kay still
sees a hope for the governorship to
come his way four years from now
and ho wishes to havo a ood work
ublo sort of vehicle In which to rido
und a few old war horses to pull It
when ho starts out on his Journey
for the gubernatorial goal.

Nineteen Hundred Eighteen was one of our most prosperous
years, based both on dividends paid our stockholders and services
rendered our patrons.
We are now entering on our tenth year in the banking busi
ness in Bend, under the same management, and with our large
resources and banking connections we arc better prepared to
serve than ever before.
The World War, while devastating in most respects, has
made for:
CONSTRUCTION
EFFICIENCY
PRODUCTION
Til RUT
The same progressive, constructive policies that have built
The First National Bank of Bend, from a very small bank to the
largest bank in Oregon, with the same capital, will be pursued
in 1919.
i
A definite constructive policy has been outlined, and we now
have on the press a booklet on Alfalfa, written by Mr. R. A.
Ward, County Agriculturist, and a well known authority.
This book treats with this, the greatest of all fodder crops,
from the seed to the stack.
We have ordered and will sell to the farmers of this com
munity 10,000 pounds of the best alfalfa seed, adapted to this
-climate and country, that we could purchase.
This seed, all tested, will be sold to, our farmers at cost, on
one year's time, with 6 interest.
Our purpose will be to see how many now acres of alfalfa
we can have seeded in this community in the next two years.
Results will be checked and published.
Ten years' experience, backed by the judgment of many of
our best farmers, has demonstrated that alfalfa is the one best
crop to be raised in this section.
' ..:
High priced idle irrigated land is a liability. Land seeded
to alfalfa is a lucrative asset.
' Our booklet on alfalfa showing how to plant and mature
this crop will be ready for distribution by January 15th, 1919.
Call or write for one. Seed will be available for planting time.
This is the first of our campaigns for 1919. Other workable,
wealth-producing plans, backed by our judgment and money will
be offered at later dates during the year.
