PaaseJ i::3 Easily. - ; U (From Thursday's Daily.) The roll "call of the Senate, for the special session, whieb earns to eooclosioa at midnight last night, in accordance with the resolution adopted ia the early part of the session, si sounded the death knell of the flat MI ary bill, po which many of the mem bers of both houses plaeed so much credence and based their fondest hopes, but iia death wai an extremely bard one. and. it is said- .'was defeated only ror VrHenJlineas lera, who had profess ft friendliness for the reason tbat B.y of the mem- for tne measure, jor iub mwu., r.-r.- , th' ir absence when the critical mo ment arrived. It was a natural death, however, and went the same way that all of Its predecessors nave gone w sfore fi. From the manner in which it was passed by the House, it was looked upon?s a settled fact that wouia baveiao trouble whatever in the Sen ate, tiut in this prediction, all prognos tieators were found to be wanting, as it failed by the spall margin of three votes. This was eoSugh, however, and its doom is -probaLfy sealed forever. This matter was the boife of ! con tention throughout the last regular ses sion of the Legislature, with no re sults, and it promised to go the same wsythis session had not a compromise have been reached. Representative Bailey, of Multnomah county, 'present ed a bill for the consideration of the House upon the sceona oay or .we present session, but lit did not meet with the favor that it should, and it was sent to the committee-upon ways and means, wnere it met its fate, and never saw the light of day again. Mr. Bailey's bill provided a salary of 40) to the Governor; Secretary ef Stat, $3000; Treasurer, $3000; Attorney Gen eral; $3000, ant Supreme Judges, $4800 each, but neglected to provide for the State Printer. This bill was provided with an emergency clause, but it did not meet with popular Tavor, Because it was thought that it eut too deep in the compensation oz some ox tne om eials. The Kay bill was calculated to draw a happy medium, and with a few exceptions in the way of some of the members offering some slight amen-1- ments. but theso had no pereeptible ef fwt tnfl ih ii i int triiamiz merniv through the House with an encourag ing majority, but it was in the Senato that it met its Waterloo and fell br the " wayside with a hopeless waiL perhaps never to arise again. ' , i The. bill; aa it stooa, reguiaiea tne ' salaries of the different ofieials of the state as follws: Governor, $5000 er annum; Secretary of State, "$.OfM; Treasurer, $oow; justices or the prerae ' t-ontl, 9oW eacn ; Aiiomey $3000.

Althougli the MU received a majority "of those .tin.i' itnmkv tit a v w.ro three short of sixteen votes, the number re quired to pass it. Smith, Multnomah, spoke in favor of the biiu- He was not in favor ox te ferting the bill to a committee f the whole. He sknew. it would greatly, re duce' the expense to the state, and the ineometo cettain pets, so that is where the shoe pinches. "Pierce demanded a fair and square iVote on the measure, without being referred to a committer of the whole. Said be: " We all know how" we stand: we know how we stood before, and why enter into a discussion Of questions which have been discussed in - every paper in the state." ; By a small majority, the motion to ' go' into a committee of the whole was made another attack by asking-to in troduce aa amendment. in the shape of an emergency clause which was severely eritieized by Smith, of Multnomah, as he knew an amendment at this hour would be ms death knelt. Senator Mil ler plead for respect in his action, de scribing his action ia the last Legis latnre, how3 : ha worked three weeks for its passage. ur Smith iasiHed the t UJl ted, and Pierce xiated M n, Khen , .he was apprehended it was " defea Kni was c-nod. whv not rut it in effect immediately. , Senator Smith turned and. said: , , 'r . . . .

J Secretary of State each 11500 annual ly,: and stated if the bill mast pass, then let it be enacted according te the prorisiona of '". the Constitution, whieh you hare all sworn to uphold." He also 'called attention to the fact that the state owns no printing out fit, and would be eompelled to spend $70,000 for this purpose- He closed his remarks oy declaring the attempt for political purposes. Band said be vpted against the bill at the last legislature, and would rote sgainst it now, and as of teniae it came up, so long as it was unconstitutional. Said het "There is a way to do this which would be eonstitutionaL" "Why didn't you do it," demanded a Senator, but Mr. Band refnsed to answer. I He engaged ia an altercation with Smith, of Multnomah, whieh at least "provoked considerable merriment among his brother Senators and tl large audience. Said he : " There will be an election next June, in Multno mah ountv, and ia several other doubt ful sections, and they want Jo go on record as voting for this measure, and yet placing: the date 1907,- when it would have no effect." President 1 Brownell took the floor and described in detail his labors in nt vars in support of flat salary, and administered a flaying to the public ridiculing his efforts to obtain i itntinnal convention. t itnfirtnal ennvention. lie saia thst nw. however, he was in opposi tion to the bill, and even to every line of it, that it was an insult to the pub lic to consider it. He charged that the officer werje at present drawing more money; than the law allowed, and the press and politicians refnsed to eriti eise them. 7 - ' 'The subsidised press deliberately opposed all effort for such an amend ment to the Constitution, and is there any use in tinkering with such a meas ure f There isn't a judge of the Su preme Court would dare say the Leg islature would dare pass a law giving the Governor $5000, when the Consti tution provided otherwise.'? He l wanted to be controlled by the common people, and thought they would approve of bis condemnation of politi cal hypocrisy, which was made use of at the last election to make Governor Chamberlain -Governor. Smith said one reason for not putting the law m effect now was that be didn't want Governor Chamberlain to get the increased salary, and perhaps by that time he will be-ousted from office. He also 'brought up the old question of electing a United Slates Senator from members of the Senate, in violation t the Constitution,,' "and now their eon sciences are trouble! over that- poor little Constitution. Q, blank the Con stitution! Vote for this, reform, eon st it ut ion or nor-eonstitntion." , ' aAt this Senator Band launched forth in a tirade of a Senator who seemed to display a lack of reverence fojr the Con stitution, and made an eloquent plea in defense of that document. When the nnal vote or the measure was taken, sfter ah effort on the part of Senator Band to secure an adjourn ment,: the tremendous efforts of the friends jot the bill proved to be lost as the vote stood, aye, 13; no, 11, with a requirement or lb to pass the bilL- DEEDS RECORDED.
