the association-never.
Time was-and it was only a week
ago-when the association in its

the proposed increase in the salary
of the county judge was rescinded at
a meeting of the organization this

of all matters political by sending a

the political discussions which had
developed in the recent meetings OF
the association We're foreign to its

steering clear Of all matters except
those directly pertaining to good

morning reported that a conference
with the city council regarding the
condition of the roads in the city

A resolution asking the state legis-

cents per ton, the storage charge TO
include the handling oc the grain in

ers' association today by President
Henry Taylor. The matter had been
referred to President Taylor by
George Perringer and the proposed
law presented was based upon the
proposed Washington law, the draft
being forwarded from Walla Walla.
The proposed plan met with much
favor among the growers.
Such legislation would reduce the
cost of warehouse charges about one
third, the present rate being rs cents
per ton, until the first of January,
with 10 cents per month additional
charges for wheat left in the ware
house after the first of the year. The
local warehouse men declare that

For a brief respite from the hustle
of the legislative session Senator c..
j. Smith reached home this morning
and after spending the greater part
of the day in the city he will return
to western oregon this evening.
When seen this forenoon Senator
Smith talked very Interestingly of
the work now under way at Salem.
He is well satisfied with the progress
being made with measures in which
this county Is interested. The branch
asylum bill he believes will pass and
likewise the measure for the Umatilla
project experiment station The dis
trct fair appropriation has already
been passed over the governors for
mer veto.
At the session yesterday afternoon
the senate passed two measures in
which Senator Smith was heavily in
terested. One of these was the ar
mory bill providing an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the construction
OF armorles throughout the state, in
towns where counties or cities will
provide equal amounts with the
state.
A Senatorial Tilt.
The other measure passed yester-
day was the artesian we'll bill, which
was also introduced by Senator
Smith. Just prior to the vote upon
this bill a passage at arms ensued be-
tween the two senator's from this
county.
When his time to vote arrived Sem
ator Cole arose and read a letter op-
posing the passage OF the bill. He
did not give the name of the author
but said he would vote against the
bill. Senator Smith then arose and
declared that the author of the letter
be made known. saying that the let
ter. constituted the only objection he
had ever heard presented to the bill.
President Bowerman then ruled
that the name of the author should
be made known and Senator Cole
stated that the writer was f. w. Nc
Comas, of the Byers milling COM
pany.
Snlltn was idUSllC,
To this Senator Smith hotly replied .
that as a member of the Byers COM
pany Mr.. McComas controlled all the ,
water above ground In this section .
and was evidently seeking to cons |
troll the supply below the surface.
With a few further caustic references
to the grain dealer he closed and the
senate proceeded to vote upon the
bill.
out of the 80 senator's 81 voted for
the measure while one was absent
and Senator Kay refused to vote ow-
ing to the split within the Umatilla
delegation. Senator Cole cast the
sole negative vote.
As To Salary Advances.
A very interesting controversy is
also being waged by the two .Uma-
tilla senators upon the subject of ad-
vancing salaries OF county officers.
Senator Cole has a bill providing for
increasing the salary of the county
Judge from $1,000 to $500 per year.
This advance Senator Smith Is oppos-
ing. Regarding his attitude upon the
subject he spoke as follows today:
"I feel that | should represent my
and from advices I have e
received / am satisfied the majority
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-01-30
County Division Bill.

Another bill of vast importance
introduced by Senator Smith Is a
bill providing how counties may be
divided without a vote of the entire
state. This bill is a state measure
and was drafted by Senator Smith
with the assistance of a member of
legislators from other sections of the
state. As It stands the bill provides
that county may be divided when
three-fourths of those in the pro,
posed new county and one-fourth of
those in the old county vote for d.
vision. The bill was introduced sew
eral days ago but has not yet been
passed upon by either house.

Bitter Fight for Labor.

DR. Cole looks for the bitterest
fight in the legislature over the eight
hour law, the employers liability
law, the attachment measure and
other proposed legislation effecting
the labor interests. The labor men
have, in his opinion the strongest deb
egation he has ever seen since being
connected with the legislature and
will make a determined stand for
their desires.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-01-30

The State Senate of oregon doesn't
believe that man who is too poor to
be able to pay a physician to give
him clean bill of health before
marriage is a proper person to mar
ry, according to DR.. w. G. Cole who
has returned for a brief vacation
from his duties as State Senator at
Salem, and because of that opinion
the senate, when the bill came up for
final passage returned DR.. Coles
measure to the committee to have
stricken from it a proviso for pay
ment for such examination by the
county where the applicant was too
poor to do so.
Senator Coles measure is regarded
as an important one and is being giv-
en- warm support except in that one
instance, the provision for which was
put in because Of the refusal of the
last Legislature to pass a bill making
the marriage license fee $500. DIR.
Cole thought the legislature wanted
to make marriage as cheap as pos
sible, but the solons reversed Them
selves and decided they did not.
Another of Senator Coles meas
ures which is meeting with hearty
support is that against high school
fraternnities which would have been
passed by this time he believes had
not the doctor withdrawn the bill
from final passage to grant a hear
ing of their side of the case to boys
of the Portland fraternities.
