WEEKLY OREGON STATESMAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10. 1905. 3. LOCAL OPTION- BILL MEETS J WITH STRONG pPPDsiTjOR RUT . PASSES TKE HOUSE. Fight on the Measure Is Carried to the Ditch Where; therOpposftibn . Loses By a Close 1 1 to 25 j t (Prom Wetnes-Lay 's DaiJy.) v . la the face 'of .nearly 40,000 written remonstrances the House ox it-presen-tatives yesterday af ternoon passed the jiaw famous Jayne amendment t ihe local option law by. a vfcte of 34 to 2.1, There was only one absent 'men.be rv The supporters of the Jayne .bill were v full jprcpaj-ed. for the great battle that ensued as their opponent. iThey &I.-o tad nearly 40.0U0. written : j li tihs asking for the enacting of the amendment, which they alleged fame from prominent business men from ill parts of the state. The bitter and bngthy debate which was precipitated by tb'e presentation oF'the bill for final pas!are ktsttful -ovr two hours. ' The battle would probably havo con ti med lutil tomorrow bad jio'c a motion 'been made and carried to call the vote .when ph-- tension and excitement was at its; height. Nearly every member nd the lloor wa3 .anxiously awaiting thrir turn to either condemn or advocate- the measure. The motion vbieh Weprivd tbc-m if their privilege of ,ex- p-tuading their principles came s sud-henly- that many of the lfep.refc.?ita tivo did not reaJizc its import until It had -been' earned. - Although the Jayne bill was one of tlii- first inlroduead, the committee which Las had it under consideration", hi a: consumed, so much 'xinie in listen iB'ff to arguments of thTv different tHC-. tions and interests, that it had beta ilelav-cd for its1 third reading until yes terday. The news that this famous meas ure was at last to take definite shape Spread rapitHy and Jong ief rT? tho lions.; was called to order by .Sp-aiyr plills the gallery was ji.'k':d almost to pr.fTocation by dpeetator'. The enthu siasm shown ty ine visitors rras so rruit that at times it lo ked as though tlity would violate tha rules by bn'ffc ins; out into eheer.-i. Tke ealm-th.tt always proc23ls storm rested over the Htm,- while the hill waslM-iag read by the de-rk, lut it was plainly seva that the aggressive and pugnacious inombera were' ittHn for the oiicning of tho fray. Sever il times when the clerk : would Stop to catch his breath,; members irom all over thf llotvse- jitmpetl to their feet anxious to ue the first to sneak. Itepresenta- tive Kay had this honor, however, cs he was on the floor the very second ihe last, words of thd bill had been -uxdn. He starte out by making a "motion to have the bill referred back to the com mittee on revision of laws, as he paid itho opposition to the bill was willing jto effect a compromise-- lie explained itho amendments they l favored. The principal amendment; as proposed by sMr. Kay would allow the bill, if passed, jto be voted upon by the people at the ivXt general election. The Jayne Measure proposes o call a upevtal elec lion in June i When he had finished so many mem hers wanted to be next on the pro gramme that Speakw Mills had to use discretion in selecting one of those Who favored "the i Jayne. bill. The t.up- rtorters of the measure elaimed that th Ivav amendmeht ; was an iniquitou LdiemA 'eonco-teT to smother the bill bv having it "coutinnallT referred bac in, lirrere-n'c committees. They said that up to the day bpfo-e their oiio- iients had elajmeu that tney were m the right' Rido'of the questionable was of sueh importance as to preven ih effecting of anv compromise. Jibw ihat defeat was staring them in th lface thcr were only too willing to ad lliit that the present local option law was nnjust in some partbulars an c(Iaimed they wtre; willing to comprom ifee. . - Smith, of -Josephine, cnampioned the motion made by Kay and' in doing Ao iiade the most eloquent speech of the entire nession. lie closed his argumeui With a well directed appeal to the just ilml conservative i members to support the stand taken by his colleague, Mr, Kav. lie evoked a slight ripply or. ap lilanse from the spectators, l which would have -increased in volume had it not been hurriedly suppressed. The ro.ll was called resulting in the motion Ii . . tii re-refer the bill beinjr lost. iThe bill was now tip! for final pass age and there was nothing to. prevent the matter fronx being;ettled, for good Tjie defeating of the motion was sim ply the prqlogue of-a great scene inai was about to, be enacted. Kay again tobk the floor, and this time he changed hi argument and appealed to the Iie;p--reientativefi to think f their mothers. of their children growing into jnanhood ami: womanhood abont to enter -tne pathway of the many temptations. He said the 'amending o the present Isw weubl be ; th lowermtr of , the nign moral standard set by the people of the Ftate tf Oreeonl Klwaris. of Uiae count r, supported the- stand takea ' by M r. Kay. It was then i-tnat the sup porters of the bill had an opportunity to attempt to , relate the statements wade by the representative from Juar ion county. Bingham, of Lane county, was particularly angered and" ne aid not hesitate to bring personals into the discussions. He said her would vote for the bill and that he would -face his family as conscientiously as Mr. Kay. as he not-only believed, tut knewy' he wai takiJa stand i that wat )Mt and . equitable. ' . Jlep"resentative aftCr"Kepresentative took , the, floor , ia .rapid sueeession ; and their speeches were no -more restricted than those delivered by; Kay" and BingJ Last Vote of 34 Votes. t u i uam. From Qthe-ee&tures and loud and angered, talking it . could, be easily im aginrtJ that they were fightln for their very existence. Capron, in speaking In favor of the bill, endeavored to show how the business men of the state stood on the question. .His desk was literally swamped with petitions of every char acter and in one .bundle he said there were 35,000 names from business men and property owners. Mr. Kay could not restrain himself and retorted by saying that he had also petitions from 3000 bartenders asking that the present law be amended as It was a-detriment to their interests.! Mr. Kay also pro duced. 30,000. names that had been for' warded to prevent: the amendment and was digging down.: in his "desk for- still more when be was ruled out of order. Other Representatives stated tbat they had received great numbers 6f communications from sides on the mat ter but that they had made 'up their minds as to what action they would pursue long before the convening; of the Legislature. They. said, they were 6 pen for conviction but that so far the anguments were lacking in their point of view. This is the way the large ma jority of the Representatives looked on the matter and it . is very , improbable that the lengthy deoate resulted in the change'of conviction on the part of any members enrolled on either side. ; By the time Capron had finihsed, the exejterent was at its greatest ,and the members were condemning each. other s principles with but little discrimina tion. Hudson, of Multnomah, suddenly stole a march and made .a motion to call the roll. It carried to the otter disappointment of at least a dozen of the solons, who as yet had not' been able to expres their views. ' When the roll was being called the members sat mute bending forward to hear the "votes. "When 4Xo" was vot ed elation would spread over the fea tures of some and a frown over that of others.' So close was the vote that the result was not known until the clerk announced that' there were'thirty-four ayes and, twenty-five . nayes. The (fa mous loeai opnon amendment uaa won a -distinct .victory in the lower braheh of the Oregon Legislature. The instant the result was .announced, the Hquse was in confupion; the vietors congrat ulating each other and the vanquished sharing their disappointment with their fellow compatriots who had made sitch a hard and unrelenting fight. Speaker Mills had to call the Ilouse to orde-. One of the principal arguments against the Jayne amendment was that it provides for a special election to be held in June which will cost the state about $50,000. One of the amendments proposed by Kay would have the bill voted upon at the next regular election. Those who favored the bill said that the importance st the question, if voted upon at the regular election, would be vershadowed by tho partisan strug gles. ' ' - .i . The local option law as it now stairdw was passed by the legalized voters of the state at the general election held on June 6, 1904. The bill was submit ted to the voters by the initiative peti tio filed in the olGce of the Secretary of State in February, in accordance with' the constitution of the state of Oregon. The law as enacted reqnires that d petition should be signed by not less than 10 per cent of the legalized voters, of a county , to call an election to determine the sale of intoxicants. The Jayne till as amended by: the committee provides that not less than 30 per cent of the legalized voters j of a precinct can call an election to pro hibit the sale of intoxicants. It also provides that such precinct must be wholly within or without an incorporat ed city or town. In this way the peo- rle of municipalities can determine on I the. question without the vptes of j the residents or nieir urtnuci tv u in- . side of the city limits. If the bill is nassed. it provides that a special flee tion to be held on the first Monday ! ia July, when it will be, voted upon by the eleetors of the state or uregon. ii the majority of the electors favor it the Governor shall declare the measure in full force and effect from the, date of such proclamation. , -J!- .
