The students Of the local university

in twelve intercollegiate debates, and has
won ten out Of the twelve.

81 have not taken any part in this
salary grab discussion" said Senator
Bingham of Lane, yesterday when the
report of the committee came UP in
the senate on H. j. r. IL, raising the
salary of members of the legislature
from $120 to $400. "as 1 had hoped
the matter would be quickly settled.
and that we might get down to work"
says the Salem Journal.
But I want to say to you repub-
licans," he continued, that IL you do
not stop this foolish wasting of time
and get to work on some of the leg
islation the people are demanding, II
will not matter to you whether the
salary is $500 or 80 cents for you
will not be sent back here. Perhaps
30 cents is as much as you are entitled
to.
Gentlemen, we have been here a
month, and nothing has been done at
all except the enactment of a few
minor bills. with the glarng excep-
ton that many large appropriation
bills have been enacted on in COM
mittee."
Johnson opposed the adoption of
the report of the committee which
recommended that tie salary be
fixed at $500. He said $400 was lit
tie enough if it be considered as a
salary. He seemed to think it should
stand at SO per day.
on a motion to reconsider, the vote
stood II to Is. Northup moved to
indie finiteIy postpone. The vote was
II to Is. On motion of Beach, and
by the same IL to 15 vote, the $500
was changed to S400.
A motion to refer the matter to the
committee on agriculture was lost by
II to Is. The report was finally
adopted by a Is to II vote, and the
salary grab will stand good chance
to become a law.
