HEARING SOON ON
PROPORTIONAL BILL

Salem, Jan. 30.-Chairman Albee
of the senate committee on elections
will call a meeting of the committee
early next week to take up the Sell
ing proportional representation bill.
1t Is expected that leading advocates
and opponents OF the measure will
want to be heard and that some time
will be fixed for a public hearing.
Besides Albee, the members OF the
committee are Coffey and Barrett.
Coffey has no patience with the bill
and Barrett will also oppose II. Chair
man Albee will therefore be In a mi
nority in favorng the bill. He has
not examined the provisions OF the
measure but Is very much in favor OF
the principle. regardless OF the ques-
tion as to which party Is hit.
Most OF the senator's differ from
Albee. They want "the grand old
party saved at any cost. and they
want the party to get all the offices
Il can. whether II represents the vot-
ers or not. From present indications
the Selling bill will not rally more
than six to eight votes 'out OF 30 in
the senate.

TEACHERS HELP BILL
NOW UP TO SENATE

Salem, Ore, Jan. S0.-Nesmlth
county boosters held another session
Thursday night. this time with the
senate delegations from Lane and
Douglas counties. 1t is now up TO
the delegations from the two counties
to get together and decide upon their
course OF action, whether they will ad-
vocate the creation of the new coun-
ty from slices of the old, or knock
the project and keep the taxes and
people in their old places.
The Nesmith county fight will be a
hard one, but it is recognized even
by the boosters for the new county
that the odds are against the crea-
tion OF the county by the legislature.
1t Is not believed the delegations from
the two counties will decide to make
a definite fight against the proposal
on the floor OF the house, but 1t Is
thought they will give the project no
aid, will report the bill back without
and then not sup
port 1t with their votes when II comes
up for final passage.
The Nesmith county people will
have to make their fight. II they ex-
pect to win. outside the Lane and
Douglas delegations
On the other hand. these delega-
tions will not throw the bill upon the
floor until they are pretty sure 1t
will be passed upon as they desire
They. of course, do not want the new
county created. 1t looks bad for Ne
smith county therefore, in spite OF
the gallant fight put up by its friends.

SPEAKER MACARTHUR STIRS
UP BOARD MEMBERS
Would Have Them Forced to Attend
Meetings of the Boards or Give up
Their POsltlons-Must Actually
serve or Get the Ax-Boards of
Regents Particularly.

Salem, or-Speaker Macarthur has
exploded bumb in the somnolent
and sedate ranks of the various
boards of regents and commissioners
of the state and as a result the dig
nified members of the different gov
erning boards are buzzins dks bees.
Just think of 1t! The young speaker,
/ who was a boy when most of the re-
gents and honorable members were
beginning to show gray in their hair,
yet has the effrontery to attempt to
| dictate to them through the medium
of the legislature when they shall at
tend meetings of their various boards.
For that is what Macarthur has at
tempted to do.
Wednesday, afternoon Macarthur
slipped a bill into the calender pro-
viding that all members of commits
sions should attend the regular meet
ings of their boards, or IL they failed
to do so for two consecutive meetings
their offices should become vacant
and the governor should appoint
some one who would come to taw.
This made the dignlfied members sit
up some and take little notice, but
yesterday afternoon, just before ad-
journment, was the last straw.
The thing that did it was a bill by
Macarthur, providing that the statute
should be amended which sets out the
duties of boards of regents of the
state university. The amendment pro-
vides that the regular meetings Of the
board of regents shall be at Eugene
in the office of the president of the
university Before this II has been
usual to hold the meetings at Port
land, compelling the president and
and back, together with their books
and records. The amendment will do
away with this
All this amendment has been
brought about by the fact that the |
members of the board Of regents. or
many Of them, both of the state uni |
versity and Of the agricultural col |
lege. as well as members OF the diff |
ferent commissions, do no, show any
inclination or enthusiasm about at
tending meeting and transacting the
business for which they were ap-
pointed The Macarthur bill says
they have got to play ball or take
off their suits.

treasurer Of Clatsop county were sent
back to committee with Instructions
to strike out the emergency clause
and also to make them effective only
at expiration OF the term OF the pres
ent incumbents, as suggested In the
governors message. A bill that opens
the circuit court to n multitude OF
small cases was passed by the sem
ate. 1t is No. 81, introduced by Kel-
laher, amending the law In relation
to costs to extend the privilege OF at
tachment In case OF small debts
where the defendant is shown to have
real estate. 1t was admitted by
friends OF the measure that this
would make 1t possible to take into
the circuit court suits for only few
dollars, removing the $50 limit in
cases where the defendant owns real
estate.
Coffey's bill No. 107, providing that
street railway motormen shall be pro-
vlded with seats and allowed to oc-
cupy them at least half the time
while operating their cars, was pass
ed without dissent.
Favorable action was also taken on
Albee's bill permitting religious.
charitable and benevolent societies
to change their names by filing sup
Elementary articles OF incorporation.
Barrett's bill prohibiting the taking
of more than so salt water crabs in
one day in Lincoln county for four
year period was passed.
The house bill providing for the es-
tabllshment of ferry at st. Johns
was favorably reported to the sem
ate.

The reality baseball bug, of st.
Paul. is out again with his scheme
for the reformation of the national
game. says an eastern authority. The
idea of reality baseball is to have
each base made count toward win
ming the game. That is a man gets
on first base. 1t would count one,
count one more, etc. The theory is
that under the present system
team gets no credit for getting run
ners on the bases unless they get all
the way around. The inventor of this
noble plan points out the possibility
OF one team securing 10S bases in a
nine-ining game. while the opponents
did not get single man to base, and
still the score would be a tie. This
could happen if the first two men up
in each inning could reach third and
then the bases should be filled be-
would make twelve bases gained in
each inning without run being scor-
ed. OF course. this is the most ex-
treme case possible, but it often hap
pens that the defeated team gets
more men to base than the winning
outfit.
According to reality baseball
scheme every base gained would
count toward the winning of the
game Thus a team might easily win
q game without having scored a sim
gle run Such a plan would never do
in practice. for it would tend to do
away with teamwork and the prettiest
features Of the inside game, and would
Tut a premium on mere slugging and
also on reskless baserunning. The
whole object and purpose of the ag-
gressive game is to get runners around
the bases It is tough to see a man
left stranded on third, as frequently
occurs, but it would be twice as tough
to see a clever and skillful run-gettlng
team beaten by club that got more
men on the sacks but could not ad-
vance them and was totally ignorant
Of all the best principles Of inside
play.
The mental state of the inventor Of
this Interesting novelty is shown by
one Of the sentences in his prospec-
tus He says: zone glass Of beer
will not make you insane, but the
old system Of baseball will when you
are out on second base. One base that
don't count causes insanity" That
reads as IL the author had been left
on second.
