EXTRA SESSION NECESSARY.
Blunder Kills Bill Appropriating Money
for State Institutions

Salem-A special session of the Ore
gon legislature will be necessary, or
senate bill No. 254, a bill appropriat-
ing $3.50, 900 for improvements at state
institutions will fail to become law.
Owing to irregularities the bill was
not legally passed, and is invalid. The
special session, if called, will merely
pass the bill in the form in which it
was intended to be passed by the ses-
sion just closed.
No special session has been called
and none will be unless 20 members of
the senate and 40 members of the house
signify their willingness to come to
Salem for a special session without ex-
pense to the state. This decision was
reached at conference between Gov
ernor Chamberlain. President Bower
man, Speaker Macarthur and Senator
Kay. Senator Kay has undertaken to
get the members to agree to come and
believes he can do so.

Few Changes in Election Laws.

Salem-The election and registra-
tion laws were little tampered with by
the legislature. Many changes were
proposed, but practically the only ones
enacted into law were those authoriz-
ing the registration of voters while
they are outside the state and an
amendment to the registration law
providing that the postoffice address of
the voter shall be noted. Under the
Nottingham bill it will be possible for
Oregon's senators and congressman to
forward their registration cards from
Washington and have their names
entered without travelling across the
continent, and all of those temporarily
absent from the state can register by
absent treatment, provided they are
well enough known where they must Sc
cure the necessary affidavits.

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
WATER USERS KEEP FAITH.
Will Comply With Government Con-
trach Concerning Payments.

klamath Falls-At meeting of the
directors of the Klamath Water Users
association a resolution was adopted
notifying the secretary of the interior
that, so far as is In their power, they
will comply with the contract made
with the reclamation service as to the
payment of the cost of the first unit of
the Klamath project as announced by
the secretary.
1t is thought that letters lately re-
ceived by the department from the
directors have led to the belief that
the water users meant to repudiate
their contract as to this payment, hence
work was suspended on the project out
side of the first unit. 1t is believed
that this decisive action on the part of
the directors will lead to the prompt
resumption of work on the plant out
lined for this years work.

If Catholics advise each other to

Yet Gompers, Mitchell and Morri-

one workingman thinks of the sit

Editor, The Press-Until l know
whether, under the recent deci-
sions of court, a workingman runs
the risk of a Jail sentence for dis
cussing Judge Wright of the fed
eral bench, must ask you to with
hold my name.
l blush at the request and that
the thought that an American
workingman must hesitate to
speak his honest convictions about
public matters lest by his exer-
else of the right CD of free speech
his children shall go without
bread. | sign my name as an evil
dence of good faith, but, am
ashamed to say, dare not have
you publish it. Here follows what
want to say:
A crisis in the life of this nation
has come. Make no mistake about
it, the conviction of Samuel Com
pers, John Mitchell and Frank H.
Morrison for contempt of court
brings a crisis which will, in his
tory's page, be written down be-
side such things as the Boston tea
party, the Boston massacre, the re-
peal of the Missouri compromise
and the bred Scott decision. If
these men are actually sent to
prison it may be as epochal as
the John Brown raid.
1t will harrow up the feeling of
the American people as no court
decision of recent times has done.
1t will stir the great mass of so
ciety to the uttermost depth.
Let those who are pursuing
these labor leaders take care lest
they make them the greatest men
in the nation by making of them
felonS. Put truth between the
four walls of a prison and you lift
it up so that all men may be
drawn after it. Much has now
been done to make these labor
leaders stand as the incarnation of
inequity. Actually shut cell doors
behind them and they will at once
pervade the life of the nation, by
the mere fact Of being shut up.
For they will then come to rep
resent truth in a manner plain to
every eye. The common man will
know that these men lie in Jail for
crime which is not a wrong
which is only law-made crime; a
Judge made crime.
What have they done that they
are to be locked up as felons ?
They have only told of facts that
exist. They have advertised to the
