the voluntary withdrawal OF Senator
King Of Marengo from the Temperance
Committee, and with the departure Of
Senator Teasley, another of the conf
mittee. from the Senate, the person.
mel OF the committee II made up, al
most wholly. of prohibition advocates.
Senator King. elected on q local OPP
ton platform. was known to have been
opposed to the constitutional prohibi-
ton measures, and. indeed, to general
prohibition statutes. Senator Teasley
Of Montgomery was also known as OPP
posed to the general prohibitin bills
and to the constitutional prohibition
amendment as well. !
With the ineligibility of Senator
Teasley. 4 vacancy on the committee
was created which, IL not filled by the
dispensstion of the President OF the
Senate, will reduce the number OF the
committee members to six. Senator
King was succeeded by Senator kinson

But with the practically ayowed
stand of the committee, the prohibit

bill and the constitutional amendment

to elicit the most sensational OF fights.
Opponents Of the constitutional amend

defeat for that measure In the Senate
chamber. and 1t 10 known that siren
uous abort to down the Carmichael bill
will also be waged. though its pas
sage In both House and Senate 10 pre-
dicted.
Much of the effort of the constitu-
tional amendment opposition has been
switched, for . while. against the pas
sage of the stringent prohibition bills
of the extra session. But success IL
forecasted for the prohibition meas
ures, at least the most Of them.

SENATE TO BE DULL

For the Senate, a few days of dull
ness 10 predicted for the first Of the
week. There IL little or nothing pend

house which may elicit more than

Sensation Is promised, 1t is true. upon
the arrival of the prohibition meas

probably be several days spent, before
liquor legislation Is sprung on the
Senators.
For the first day there will prob
ably be numerous bills affecting the
banks and insurance statutes Of the
state to be reported on by the Banking
and Insurance Committee. There is
to be q final vote on the compulsory
education bill of Senator Reynolds. but

bill will receive the greatest opposi-

Its passage is predicted. but as the
victory for the bill during the last
session of the legislature was achieved
by only one vote, there bodies an
equally close struggle for the extra
session. The Greater Birmingham
adherents declare that they have
gained strength, but whether there
has been any strength lost Is the

Mr.. Ayers Conversion.
(East Oregonian, Feb. 26.)


Now Regent Aver of the normal
school board comes forth with a prop
osition in favor of two normal
schools, one for eastern and one for
western Oregon. This is the same
Aver who submitted the minority re-
port favoring but one normal school
and that in or near Portland. Now
that the normal schools have been
slain, Mr.. Aver admits that he was
wrong. He admits that he had not
fully investigated the subject. 1t is
too bad he did not make this admis-
sion while the legislature was still
in session. This post mortem con-
version is not very satisfactory.
Nevertheless Mr.. Aver is right when
he says that there should be an east
ern Oregon normal school. We need
a normal school and always will.
There are 10 counties in eastern
Oregon and they constitute two-thirds
the area of the state. These counties
want good schools. But to have
good schools they must have good
teachers and they cannot have the
latter unless provision is made for
normal training in eastern Oregon.
Eastern oregon young people will not
go abroad to secure normal training
a few will do so of course, but those
who do will not furnish one-tenth
enough teachers for eastern Oregon.
Most of those who go abroad for
normal training also teach abroad.
Provision should be made for offer
ing normal instruction during the
next two years. If the people OF Wes-
ton can keep their school going, re-
lying upon the state to support it
after the next session of the legis-
lature, very well. If they cannot do
so, then a good strong normal course
should be provided for in either the
Pendleton academy or the Pendleton
high school.

every appropriation allowed to go

a cent, the appropriations made by
the legislature reached a high-water
