SCALP BOUNTY BILL
tContlnu d from first page.)

CATION from Marion county. The re-
suit of the re-referrence of the bill
will probably be the adoption of a
compromise of some sort.
When the bill had been read the
third time. LaFollett addressed the
house, and made a strong argument
for the passage of the bill under con.
sideration, which proposes the repeal
OF the scalp bounty law In support
Of his argument, he presented sta
tistics showing that since the enact
ment OF the law 1t had cost the state
about S350,0O0, and that the expense
to the state under It's operation is in.
creaslng annually. He made a splen.
did talk, and, while not much on flow.
cry oratory, he is hard to beat when
It comes to presenting cold facts.
Phelps, Of Eastern Oregon, got the
floor, and stated that the bill is one
one Of considerable Importance TO the
state at large and asked that 1t be re.
ferred to the committee on assess.
ment and taxation. that the members
from Eastern Oregon might have an
opportunity to appear and state their
side OF the case before the bill ia
finally passed upon.
In reply Kay said warmly "Mr.
Speaker / think II is an imposition
on this house to askk that this bill be
re-referred to the committee consist
ing of the representatives from East
ern Oregon, which enjoys the benefits
Afforded in the law, and where 99.1OO
OF the scalp bounty appropriation is
spent" Mr. Kay then went on to
show that the scalp bounty law is
wrong, and is becoming a greater bur.
den on the state with each succeeding
year
Phelps then moved that the bill be
referred to the committee on assess
ment and taxation, but Malarkey pro
posed an amendment providing that
the measure be made a special order
for IL a. m. Friday. The amendment
was defeated and the original motion
was carried. Before the vote was
taken, Eddy spoke in favor of the
reference of the bill. He said that he
considered that the only expeditions
manner in which TO treat a measure
OF such Importance. To consider the
bill in a committee of the whole. as
was the purpose OF Markley's amend.
ment. would prolong the fight on the
bill indefinitely without accomplish
ing and definite result He intimated
in his remarks that the bill probably
be disposed of in the committee by
odopting a compromise OF some kind.

POWERS
OF THE
ORATOR
Suggestions TO the Oregon
DemoStheneS
Freedom Of Utterance Comes
Through the Truth

The Journal proposes to print Sc
rries of papers on the subject Of ora
tory for the benefit of the members of
the legislature now assembled at Sa-
lem. There are many young men. in
this general assembly who would
doubtless be glad to have greater pow
er of expression and we open this Sc
ries with an extract from paper on
oratory by Prof. Chas. Wesley Emer-
son, Of Boston College of oratory:
While we are seeking to attain such
freedom of the physical organism as
will enable us TO command it freely,
what mental attitude will be con-
ducive to greater freedom of thought
and of expression? Fearless faith in
the value of your thought, a belief
that your audience needs the truth
that you have to offer it--that you are
before them to help them by directing
their thinking. Emerson says; ITO
believe your own thought--to believe
that what is true for you in your own
heart, is true for all men-that is the
secret of genius" There is much
truth in the thought; the man of gent.
us has ever believed the thought for
which he stood, has been willing TO
lay down his life for that which he
felt in his soul TO be true. We lack
freedom and power in expression be-
cause we are waverlng, fearful,
crnglng. We apologize habitually to
our audiences; we are so personal in
our attitude so conscious of ourselves
as the center of the truth which we
present that we cannot really trust II
as being worth while. Let us get away
from this sense Of personal responsi'
bility and personal proprletorship to-
ward truth-else we shall never be
free from self. If see a truth l shall
not therefore assume that truth cen
ters in me, and that l must apologize
for Offering II to others. | shall feel
rather that truth is universal; the
fact that have recognized It as nee
essary TO me. warrants me in assum
ing that It Is OF value to others
Hence, will proclaim 1t fearlessly
upon the authority OF universal truth
never upon my own authority
will preserve my own. integrity by
honoring my own thought-not be
cause 1t is my thought, but because
| believe It to be true for all men.
Having learned to listen to the divine
voice within my soul, will interpret
its message TO other men with a "di.
vine recklessness' as to form of ex.
preston. Freedom OF thought and of
expression result from faith-faith is
the medium through which truth may
speak to men. faith in truth that 1t
will help men when II possesses them,
faith in men, that they will "love the
highest when they see IT," faith in
God. that he will honor His truth
when 1t is spoken fearlessly.

normal schools, schools for the deaf and
blind at Faribault and state school at
sOWatonna, from the financial supervision
of the board of control.
The combination which pushed the bill
through was engineered by the friends
of the normal schools and the institutions
at Faribault and Owatonna. However, on
the final passage of the bill the Hennepin
delegation stood solidly for it, finding
there was show for the university
alone This was made apparent by the
vote an amendment offered by Senator
Somerville, who led the fight on the bill.
He wanted to bring out only the uni
versity, but his amendment was beaten
by a vote of II to 40. Another amend
ment including the university and normal
schools In the bill was still worse showed
under by vote Of 8 to SO.

from Senators Somerville, Schaler,

remain under the board of control was
