building were In progress at tho tlmo
or tho arrest of Dcrt Franklin for
bribery was given today In tho Dar
row trial today by Lccotnpto Davis,
nn attorney for the McN'amara do
tense. t "Thursday, November 28. the day
of Franklin's arrest, we expected to
enter a pie of guilty," testified
Davis, referring to the McNamara
trial. "I went to ice District Attor
ney Fredericks and tell him so, but
he was not in his office. I saw Dar-
row in Judge Dordwell's court room,
where tho McNamaras -wero tried,
about ten o'clock. We remained
there until 11:30 o'clock, when wo
went to Darrow's private office.
There Darrow told me that Franklin
has been arested, and charged with
Jury bribing. I had learned this
previously in the day. Later I went
to Mr. Frederick's office and we re
sumed negotiation."
Carl F. White, a newspaperman,
was put on the witness stand by tho
defense during the morning session
to testify that John Harrington of
Chicago, a prosecution witness, told
him that "so far as ho knew, Dar
row had dono nothing morally ro
criminally wrong In tho McNamara
case." Harrington has testified
that Darrow showed him $10,000
with the statoment that "ho would
reach a couple of Jurors with it."

HORSE PLAY
T11E legislative session should liirve ended Friday, Feb
ruary 21, whon the constitutional time limit expired.
At this time 85 bills of the DUO introduced had been passed
and stirnod or filed bv the irovonioi. and 05 bills passed
by both houses but not yet reached the governor. None
of the large appropriation bills, including the one carrying
legislative expenses, had reached the governor, though the
iirai iiiiruiiuccu oi me srssiuu. iuii' uiua ui mu im i
session had been passed over the governor's veto.
No legislature in the history of Oregon ever made
such a poor showing. No legislature has wasted so much
time playing peanut polities and considering inconsequen
tial bills at the expense of needed legislation. It at
tempted to legislate us to death and smothered itseh! in
legislation.
There is no authority for the legislature remaining in
session now. This is recognized by the fact that the pay
of the members has ceased. The legislature has extended
its own time simply to "put the governor in the hole" by
acting upon expected executive vetoes and the governor's
disappearance for a couple of days' needed rest, which was
within his province, after awaiting the action of the legis
lature for forty days, has caused more horse play.
The president 6f the senate played the part of a burg
lar and broke into the executive's private office, leaving
the bills on the governor's desk, under the pretense that
the governor had received the bills, and that if not acted
upon within five days, they should be declared laws. Three
men were stationed to watch the bills in eight hour shifts
more horse play.
There is no evidcucc that'the governor plans any whole
sale veto program and no evidence but that the vetoes
that will be forthcoming will not be merited. Only nine
of the seventy-two vetoes of two years ago were over
ridden, and it would have been far better for the state if
these vetoes had been sustjuued. But one veto has greeted
the eighty-tive bills received
and it was sustained. But
concealed in some of the appropriation and other bills
and tins is the cause of the machines anxiety over pros
pective vetoes.
There, have been no vetoes as yet, and propably will bo
none that are not in the public interest.
SENATOR SMITH'S STATESMANSHIP
WHAT kind of statesmanship is that being exhibited
by Senator J. C. Smith of Josephine county?
Senator Smith confesses to having voted for every ap
propriation bill, good bad or indifferent, in the expectation
that he would thus purchase enough votes to open the
ftogue river in Josephine county for an extended fishing
season. He votes away millions of the people's money to
benefit a few commercial fishermen.
Not content with this display of legislative ability,
Senator Smith sends word to the Jackson county delega
tion that if the house refused to concur in his amendments
to the fishing bill, he would defeat the Mcdford armory
bill in tho senate a venal threat which the delegation
very properly ignored.
In his anxiety to benefit these professional fish hogs,
Senator Smith even wrote an insulting letter to the gover
nor, trying to force him td say in advance what he will
do upon the measure.
Here wc have an instance of the weighty deliberation
and careful consideration given measures by the wise men
at Salem, who spend their days trying "to put the governor
in the hole" and their nights wire-pulling, log-rolling and
swapping votes we catch a glimpse of constructive legis
lation as it is.
THE SWAMP
IN order to ascertain the truth regarding the Thompson
swamp land bills passed over the governor's veto by the
legislature, the Mail Tribune wrote to one of tho leading
citizens of southeastern Oregon and received the follow
ing reply:
"At first I was of the opinion that the governor was
wrong, but after consulting with a great many people and
examining into the question, am of the opinion that the
governor is right in his stand.
"Senator Thompson's bills will make it possible for a
group of capitalists to reclaim these lands and pocket the
profits, as they will be in a position to be the only ones who
can reclaim them, as they nave filed or will file on all the
water rights necessary to tie it up.
"The trouble with the Thompson bills are that there
is some good in them if they were drawn in the interest of
the whole people, but they are drawn in the interest of
a tew capitalists."
Governor West vetoed
passed them over the veto. The governor had another bill
intrbduced repealing them. It was slaughtered.
Have the people anything to fear from the governor's
vetoes? No, but the legislators who have put measures
through like this for clients, have therefore they remain
in session.
