of the Representatives, foots up
nearly $4,000, the exact sum being
$7S1I,8o. Each representative
with the exception of the speaker

the same per diem, which amounts
to $12o for the session. The mileage
however, varies according to the
distance travelled. The Marion

smallest amount for mileage, 80
cents for two miles travelled. E. II.

GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN We.
TOES A PROPOSED BICYCLE
LAW.
No Money For Indian Fighters
Reduction Studies Asked in
Common Schools-Money
For Widows-Other
Legislation.

z Salem Feb. 17.-Because he does
not believe a bicycle is entitled to
be placed in the same class with
horse, mule, COW or other domestic
animal, Governor Chamberlain
has sent back with a message of
veto Senate Bill No. II, which pas
sed both houses.
Senator Mays of Multnomah in
troduced the bill early in the ses-
sion. Its intention was to reduce
the number of bicycle thefts, and
Mays took the stand that a mans
bicycle was likely to be as essential
to his welfare as his horse. The
bill made the crime of stealing a
bicycle the equivalent of horse
stealing, and fixed the penalty the
same, making tia penitentiary of
tense. In his message of veto the
Governor states reasons as follows
Section 1898 of the Code provi-
des sufficient penalty for thelarceny
of bicycle in case the value there
of exceeds $35, and 1 can see no
reason for any change in the law
in that respect. My experience as
a public prosecutor for more than
two years last past has proven to
me that in 90 per cent of the cases
of thefts Of bicycles the guilty per-
sons are usually boys ranging from
10 to 16 years of age. In many
cases there is no criminal intent,
and in a few cases there is an
intent to appropriate the property
The theft is usually subject
more fit for the Reform School than
for the penitentiary, and it seems
to me that the penalty provided
by the proposed amendment is Sc
verer than it ought to be and
that bicycles should be placed on
the same category as other personal
property mentioned ia Section 1889
Of the Code"

Danger OF Colds aud Grip.

The greatest danger from colds and
grip is their resulting in pneumonia.
If reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy for these diseases we have yet to
learn Of a single case having resulted in
pneumonia, which shows conclusively
that it is a certain preventative of that
dangerous disease. 1t will cure a cold
or an attack Of the grip in less time
than any other treatment. 1t is pleasant
aud safe to take. For sale by G. O,
