HOUSE REFUSES TO CONDEMN BAILEY Charges Against Oregon Food Commissioner Not Considered Sl'ATElIOUSb;, Salem, Or.. Feb. ". Uy unanimous vote the House this toornina tabled the irort of the spe cial joint lovstigntlog committee which probed the otflce of the State Dairy aui Food Commis'loner, J. W. Bailey, along the Huts suggested by Governor West, lhe reasons asi-lgo-d for this policy were that there la no legal authority for the procedure followed and no rules of evidence were mapped out. The report of the committee, signed by Chairman Rackleff, recommended that liailey be requested to resign on the following grounds: That be does no. bare the executive ability to carry on the affairs of bi office, that be Is incompetent aud unscientific, not familiar 'th the duties of bis office, works without a ayetem and keeps no proper records; that be has failed to enforce the dairy and food regulations; that he has sent deputies Into the Held without proper instructions; that be bas been partial In prosecutions for violations of to law, and that the evidence shows be has misappropriated foods of his'office. Thompson attacked the authority of the committee to act, and averred that the question of Bailey's compe tence rests only with the people. While not caring to pose as apologist for Bailey he said, he deprecated the procedure taken without any rules or evidence, without keeping a record of what had been testified to and without swearing witnesses. WhiU trying to show the people de::i in I the action, Biownbiil prac ticsillT admitted the procedure bad bseu irregular. 011 aud Raekleff were tSe only other defenders of the committee's action. "Nnlio-lv bas a right to brand a man as a thief without proper legal procedure or tc demand bis resigna tloi until he has been adjudged guilty by some proper tribncal," said Thompson, in reply. "It is un kind to brand any man in that wy for political reasons. 1 want to ste th evidence before J vote on s'leh a r ' ........ measure." Higelow moved that the report be laid on the tall. CWmens an list I tilted to leferthe Oovrroor'e meissg and the committee report to the judi ciary committee. The niotiou to table the report was adopted, there uinff nn r.t. in the negative, de- I . . - . . i spite the support given mi cuuuun- tes' recommendation by tirownnui, (.III and KackletT.

Foi the put pose of reapportion ing the state Into three Congressional districts, Senatoi Oliver today otter e l a bill which makes the counties of Multnomah. Columbia, and Clatsop one district. This division does not satisfy the Multnomah delegation,, as Portland era have expected Multnomah County to be a Cougressloual district by Itself. As the Legislating Is likely to ad journ bfore Congresa passes the re apportionment bill, and no provision would ha made for Oregon's third Oongreseman. Oliver wants the atata divided Into districts to take care of the new represeutatlva before tho legislators ends. Oliver's measure makes tho follow ing dlvlslou : "A. The tlrst district ahail be coqiposo I of all the ooiullea lu the state of Oregon lying west of the summit of the Casoa In Mountains, except the counties of Clatsop, Col- i timbla and Multnomah. j "li. The second district shall be composed of the counties of Clatsop, Columbia aud Multnomah. "C. The third district shall be eoiii,used of all the counties of the Htate of Oregon lying oust of the sum in It of tho Cascade Mountains, In- 1 eluding tha county of Hood Klver." I DUaat Mael lou U already eiprrssed by Multnomah men over this piu pnsed arrangement. Multnomah County has ou third of the popula tion id the state, although the ten I 1 tory is small. Tacking Columbia and Clatsop to Multnomah Mould not prevent Mult nomah from dictating the Congres sional nominee, but It practically ' prevent Columbia or Clstsnp from naming a t'ongrV maii. The Molt 1 nomah members argue that the new third congressman warded tu Oregon should tin awarded to Multnomah, mi I Oliver contends that area as well as ( opuhi' I in should be taken into 'consideration, a theory which should : nat obtain In the thlokly settled Con - from St Louis - from Chicago gressional districts of EHslern slates. The Oliver bill will probably causa a quarrel In committee. The Roar of China'a Ducks. Tourists In China are ahviija sur prised by the number of tlucka they aec.
