SECOND CHOICE BILL BEHEADED

OUSTS COUNTY ATTORNEYS
Second Choice Bill, He Declares to Be Unconstitutional
Because It Compels the Voter to Vot for Two Men
for the Same Office Objects to Any Bill Interfering With
Oregon Sysetm, Until Latter Is Given a Fair Trial, and Until
Some People Realize'That the Law Is Here to Stay.
Because In his opinion It Is un
constitutional, and because he prom
ised the people in the recent cam
paign that, if elected governor, he
would permit no tampering with the
laws they have approved by their ve
toes, Governor West this afternoon
vetoed house bill No. 402, better
known as Speakera Rusk's second
choice bill.
Almost simultaneously with the
descending ot the veto ax on this
measure, it fell on senate bill No.
303, which raised the salary , of of cir
cuit judges; housa bill No. 186 au
thorizing the reclamation of certain
lands in the state now covered by the
waters of non-navigable lakes, and
house bill N'o. 116 creating a prose
cuting attorn.;y district in each coun
ty and providing for the election of
district attorneys In each of them
and fixing their salaries. This is the
last day allowed by law for vetoing
of bills and the governor Is making
good use of his time. He has had

Unconstitutional, Says Governor.
In his veto message dealing with
the Rusk bill, the governor says:
"It seeks to deprive the voter of his
constitutional right to vote for one
person for nomination under the title
to every office 'where more than
twice as many persons of one politi
cal party are candidates for nomina
tion in one political office division as
there are positions to be filled there
in,' unless he also expresses a second
choice among said candidates. He
may not have a second choice, and
the legislature cannot, under the con
stitution, compel him to name a sec
ond choice under penalty of losing
his constitutional right to vote for
the nomination of one person.

Petit recently injected two doses of

It has put on fat. Its coat Is glossy

That the city of Portland will be

was the opinion freely expressed to
day in the city by those Interested in
the subject when it was learned that
Governor West because of pressure
brought to bear by commercial
bodies of the , City of Roses had
agreed to resurrect the measure af
ter vetoing it yesterday and to place
upon it ttie stamp of his approval on
condition that the $25,000 appropria
tion was eliminated.
Tliiit Waft Original Plan.
This bill was one of those recom
mended by the Oregon Development
League and when first drawn it was
not the intention to auk for any ap
propriation. The plan was to have
the commercial bodies of Portland
provide for the salary of the Immigra
tion agent and the expense of the
publicity work by means of subscrip

passed solely because It would give

nah Parker was a half-breed,
his mother having been a white
woman, who was captured In her
youth and married by Chief
Petanacona, when the tribe was
at the zenith of ys power.
Quannah Parker loaves three
wives. Parker was a familiar

called once a year to see the
"white father." On these trips
he wore a broadcloth suit, high
hat and patent leathers, but
while on the reservation he al
ways wore a blanket.

out a state agent this could not be
done. Because of the decided oppo

and sections of the state as to this
plan it was changed, and an appropri

state wide application.
Money Sot Sufeguardml.
Because he did not believe restric
tions had been proved for the spend
ing of the money the governor, yes
terday vetoed the measure, but did
not file it with the secretary of state.
Seeing an opportunity to. put .ln,to
execution the original plan, the com
mercial bodies of Portland took the
matter up with him and agreed to
-pfovlde for the salary of the. official,
hid expense. and the geneottj . expands
of the bureau, providedthe governor
would leave that part of the act creat
ing the office and bureau standing.
After a conference relative to the
subject had been held, it was agreed
that a warrant for the full '$25,000
should be drawn and immediately
paid back into the treasury and then
:the bill be approved.
The bill provides that the Immigra
tion agent shall co-operate with
commercial bodies and the Oregon
Agricultural college in the gathering
of data and information with regard

Industries and distribute literature
at railroad stations. As aptly put by
those discussing the subject today It

New York, Feb. 24. Elation by
shippers over the entire country and
corresponding dejection by railroad
managers is expressed today in tole
grams, which are pouring In here as
comments on the rate decision made
yesterday by the Interstate Com
merce Commission..
"It Is a people's victory," Is the
general tenor of expression from the
shippers, while the raid road heads,
disgruntled, threaten reduction of
expenses, curtailment of construc
tion and appealing the decision ot the
commerce trlbuial.

"The commission's decision la a big
triumph for the business men," Is the
expression . of , Secretary John Glenn,
or the Illinois Manufacturers' Asso
ciation, which led the fight against .
the rate increase. 'We asked tha
roads to confer, and only when, this
wag refused did we seek the injunc
tion that has resulted In this Vic
tory." TrafTlo Manager Barlow, of the
Chicago Association of Commerce,
said1:
"I believe the decision la Justi
fied by the showing made by both
sides in the rate hearings."
"I think it a fair decision," said
William Haynle, consul for the Illi
nois Manufacturers' Association. "It
la a victory for the shippers, but real
ly ai greater victory for the consura.
er, who actually pays the freight."
What the railroads 1 ave to say of
the decision Is contained in the fol

telegraphed hers todar.f rora all over
the country:
President Louis W. Hill, Great
Northern: "We will keep on doing
business, but not much will be done
In the way of Improvements or ex-.
tensions."
President W. C. Brown, New York
Central: "We will not announce our
policy until our attorneys have an
opportunity to digest the commis
sion's reasons for vetoing the rate in
creases." !
President W. W. FInley, Southern
Railroad: "The question is of the
broadest, and will not be dismissed
at a momit's notice. We will ap.
peal."
