OBJECTS TO PRIVATE
USE OF STATE OWNED
TRUCKS AND AUTOS
Senate Bill Prohibits Infring
ing Upon Label And Trade
' Mark Rights.
In exactly six minutes and 45 sec
onds from the time Senator Smith of
Coos obtained the unanimous consent
to introduce a bill to curb the use of
state owned automobiles by the fam
ilies of state officials and employes,
the bill was read three times and pass
ed by tho senate today.
The bill authorizes and direo's the
secretary of state to have painted in
a conspicuous place on all automobiles
and trucks belonging to the state the
name of tho department or ins. itution
for which tho machine is purchased
and used.
Senateor Smith explained "that tn
purpose is to so label tho machines
that .peace officers and tho public will
know when the machines are being used
for private purposes. j
The senate today reversed its action
on house bill 263, which creates a
board of engineering examiners to con
sist of nine members to bo appointed
by the governor. The senate killed the
bill yesterday, while today t reconsid
ered its former action, went into com
mittee of the whole and amended the'
bill and then passed it.
Tho bill "provides that after January
I of next year ''no person shall prac
tice professional engineering without
having first been duly and regularly
registered by the' board a-3 a profession
al engineer as required by this act."
Under tho amendments adopted, which
were proposed by Senator Hitner, en
gineers in military servico aro eligible
to be licensed without.' examination
vvilhiu ono year after their discharge
from the army.
In spite of this amendment, Senators
Eddy, Farrell, Strayer and Smith of
Coos strongly opposed tho bill, while
Senators Hrtwell, Moser and Orton
spnho for it.
The senate passed senato bill 298,
introduced yesterday by Senator Moser
at tho icqucst of. Jhe Portland Ad
clnb The bill prohibits anyone from
infringing upon the rights of others in
the use of trade marks, trado names,
labels, designs and the like. .
By a voto of 18 to 11, the senato
sustained tho adverso report of tho
ways and means committee on house
bill 414, which appropriated $7,400 to
reimburse John Almeter, a contractor,
for losses ho sustained in the construc
tion of a new building for tho Univer
sity of Oregon Medical school at Port
land. Tho action of tho senate was to
indefinitely postpone tho bill.
The senate also killed house joint res

Of Lane County Qucla Being
Raised For Stock Exposition
Eugene, Or., Feb 20 That Lane
county will raiso its quota of stock in
the Pacific International Livestock ex
position wlas assured at a meeting of
Etigeno citizens held last night at the
chamber of commerce at Which time
O M Plummer, manager of the cam
paign to raise $200,000 for the con
struction of a new building for the
exposition, waj present and spoke on
the purposo and plans of tho .drive.
No definite action wtas taken at last
night's meeting due to the absence of
many of tho men interested in tho pro
ject and another meeting was set at
that time for 4:30 this afternoon it is
expected that a number of the promi
nent citizens of tills county will un
derwrite tho entire quota of $!000, giv
ing a written guarantee that the coun
ty will raiso the amount.
In explaining the plan to the Eu
gene citizens, Mr. Plummer emphasiz
ed the fact that it .is not fcxcluslt,)ly
a stockman's proposition. Bankers and
merchants everywhere throughout tho
s'Ute, whom it was thought would not
take an interest in the affair, have
shown by their attitude that they are
baejeing ho proposition, declared Air.
Plummer.
'"Commercial interests arc becoming
aroused to the importance of livestock'
stated Mr. Plummer, "for it lias been
demonstrated time and again that a
community without agricultnro and
livestock decreases in value and that
eo city can be permanently prosper
ous unless this prosperity is based on
these two industries. A city depending
on mines for this prosperity will find
its succesg spasmodic and not continued."

LABOR LEADERS ARE
VICTORS IN SENATE
BiJ Gives Legal Right To Con
duct Strikes And Boycotts
To Cltaia Ends.
Labor leaders, and particularly Eep
rescntatives Eugen K. Smith and Os
car Homo of Multnomah county, are
feeling pretty good today, since tho
senato yesterday nfternoon passed houso
bi.l 203, which recognizes the person
al rights bf labor as differentiated from
property rights.
Thia is tho one bill in which labor
lenders havo been particularly interest
ed, as it places upon the Oregon stat
utes a law similar in principle to the
Clayton amendment to me onerman an
titrust law. It gives to labor organiza
tions a legal right to conduct strikes or
boycotts in correction with their en
deavor to shorten the hours of labor ui
obtain better wages, just so long as the
organization docs not do anything that
would be unlawful for the individual to
do.
As explained by Ecprwniuuve
Smith, who was extended the courtesies
of tho senato floor in order to rtelwte
tho bill, the rights which the individual
possesses to strivo to better his working
conditions are extended to working men
when banded together in an organiza
tion. After Representative Smith had beun
heard, Senator Farrell moved to ex
tend the courtesies of tho senate floor
to Thomas McCuskcr of the Employers'
association, in order that tho other side
of the question might be heard.
McCusker attacked the bill, saying it
trnvo protection to the union mnti winch
it did not give to the non-union man.
ITo insisted that was tho purpose of thd
bill.
Senator Eddy sought to pin McCus
ker down to pointing out tho language
in the bill which made this different
between union and non-union labor and
McCusltor was unable to sustain his con
tention. Senator Dimick attacked the bill, say
ing its provisions would cause strifo andj
content ions. I
The bill was taken into committee of j
tho whole for amendment. Senator Ed
dy moved to strike nut the provision
giving sanction to the boycott, but after
Henresentative Smith concluded his'
speech Senator Eddy withdrew his mo
tion. The motion, however, was renew
ed by Senator Dimick, and then was vot
ed down.
Senator Moser objected to the bill be
ing mutilated, and argued in its be
half. Ho offered an additional sec
tion, which met the approval of the la
bor representatives, and which pro
vides that if anv portion of the bill is
declared unconstitutional this shall not
affect the remainder of the bill. This
amendment was adopted. One or two.
other slight amendments were made
with tho approval of the labor
Senator Hurley opposed the bill on
tho grounds that it would tie the hands
of the conrtj in regard to issuing in
junctions. He argued that tho courts
usually dealt out justice In mut
ters. This brought a sharp reply rrom Sen
ator Eddy, who declared that the lib
erty of mankind has been obtained by
tiring the hands of courts and that was
what he wanted to do with the bill.
Senator Smith of Coos appealed for
support for the bill on the grounds that
during the great reconatruction period
now upon the world it was necessary
to have the cooperation of labor and he

D. C Lewis Declared, "Ween
You Destroy Portland, Yoa
Destroy Oregon.
When tho olcomarginc bi'.l was res
urrected in the house -of representa
tives this morning, it also rosnrrected
a flood of oratory.This is the bill that
piposes to tax pleo manufacturers
$500 a year, wholesalers $250, retail
ers -0 and hotels and restaurants $5
a year.
MemJbers became so interested in
telling what awful things would hap
pen to the stte if such a bill wlas pass
ed, and how the 'poor working man
making only from $5 to $8 a day would
not be able to pay for his oleomargar
ine on account of butter soiling at 60
cents a pound, that they were almost
unwilling to adjourn for the noon hour
Portland members became so excit
ed' over the bill providing that the
oloomargino factory employing 30 men
in that city should Ibe compelled to pay
an annual tax' of $500 (which would
bo of course passed on to tho ultimate
consumer) that ono member, D. C.
Lewis exclaimed in anguish, "When
you destroy Portland, you destroy
uregon."
Mr. Lewis had figures to show that
the 'best of Oregon's creamery butter
contained a lot of the wickedest germs
while the gonuine oleomargarine pro
duct didn't carry a single germ, no,
not one. He hold a book in his hand
to prove his assertion.
Gallagher, ho of the stentorian voice
from tho far east, Ontario; Omj,on,
said that tho poor mnn would havo to
pay from two to three cents more for
his oleomaifgine, if the IbiM passed.
"Only a millionaire could buy butter
last winter' ' added the orator, us a
clinching argument in favor of tho
real oleo. - ,
Sales Not Large
Other sprlilccrs, not so vociferous,
mildly suggestod" that the oleomargar
ine sales' in Oregon only amounted to
fivo per cent of butter snjs and that
it didn't make much difference which
way the bill went. Tho tax proposed
was not enough to materially boost
the butter interests as it amounted to
about ono eighth of a cent a pound
and tho amount collected would not
especially burden tho state treasury.
In support of the bill taxing oloomar
garine and compelling a' label stating
that oleo was not a substitute for but
ter but was just, p'iain oleomargarine,
Representative Iodd spoke, lie ob
jected to the ftdvertiing of the oleo
people. He said they advertised oleo
as a substitute and then by way of sug
gestion, had a picture of a prosperous
looking cow on the advertisement,
making people think maybe there was
something in tho oleo that a cow had

LL GETS HATCHET
Slate Market Commission Al
so Rejected At Night Ses-
sioit Cf House.
Physical training and military drill
in the high school of the stuie, as
provided in Senator Hurley's bill was
killed last evening in the houso without
even a discussion as to its merits.
Friends of tho bill claim that tho bill
wng killed by lobbying friends of tho
Oregon Agricultural college as it pro
vided that an officer's training camp
hI.uuIJ be established at Eugene, M eo
managed and under the control of the
board of regents of the UiiVersity of
Oregon.
Tho bill alBo provided that$20,000
should bo appropriated to bo itisnursed
by the regents of the University of
Oregon. Although tho bill had passed
the senate it received scant courtesy in
the house before being knleu.
Another bill of rather largo Import
was that of creating a siuie nmrket
commission. Several friends oi mo ulll
had appeared before the ways and
nieuns committee explaining vhw shtein
of California in looking after the farm
products of the state and finding the
best markets. But when it became
known to tho houso that the bill car
ried an appropriation of $4,000 a year
for a director and $.1,600 a year for a
secretary, some ono yfilcd oat, "ijet's
kill it," and kill it the house did as
quick as it could come to a vote. j
Representative Martin run into, a
rather unexpected victory yesterday
when the houso voted in favor of his
bill providing that counties should fix
the time of their own officials. Whcni
the bill was brought from the table, the
house was extremely hostile and several
of tho oratorical spell binders took n
fling at tho bill. Hut on the statement!
that the bill was legally drawn and
that it would relieve tho house of tho
necessity of spending its valuable time
on passing salary measures for county
officials, tho bill went through with a
majority of four.

Second, all nations should agroo that
