LAWS FOR The
PROTECTION
OF LUMBERMEN

Tacoma, Wash, Aug Paul
Page, lumberman of Buckley, Wash,
and one of the commission which
drew up Washington's employers
liability law, has been named by the
National Retail Lumber Dealers as
chairman of a committee to work
for similar legislation in all the
states.
The Washington law requires all
employers to contribute toward a
state fund, out of which all deaths
and injuries sustained while at work
shall be compensated. The maxi
mum payment in the case of death is
$4,000, being smaller for single men.
Injuries shall be paid for, the amount
being determined by the amount OF
wages the injured was drawing at
the time of the accident, and the size
of his family. The funds are ham
died by a state commission. The
law obviates appearance in court
and does away with the old defense
of assumption of risk, fellow SER
want" rule and the plea of contribu-
tory negligence.

lation in the various states" said o.
G. Griggs, who succeeded Edward
Hines, of Chicago, as head Of the
lumbermen's association, rather
than any action by congress"

it Is advanced that the expense of
such a court would be too heavy.
Other members of the bar advo-
cate the retention of the present sys-
tenn of courts and that all county
judges be required to be members Of
the bar and that their courts be CIV
en- jurisdiction of all misdemeanors
and actions at law relating to money
where the sum does not exceed $500.
They also suggest that they retain
their present probate powers but
that their powers as county commits
sioner be taken away from them.
They further advocate that the pres
ent circuit courts be given jurisdic-
tion of all felonies and all matters Of
law and equity which do not come
within the Jurisdiction of the county
courts They also advocate direct
appeal to the supreme court.
The commission has been and is
gathering the views of lawyers on
the subject and will boil them. down
into a report to the governor to be
submitted by him to the legislature
when it convenes. The members of
the commission are: S. T. Richard
son, chairman, Salem; Will M. Pc
terson, Pendelton; R. r. Butler, Con
don; S. NJ Garland, Lebanon; A. E

The STATE
PURCHASES
BRICKYARD

When the state of Oregon today
purchased 16 acres of land adjoining
the state penitentary from A. A. Bur-
ton, it acquired for the first time in
it's history tract of land without the
necessity of the legislature making an
appropriation for it.
The consideration was $500, and
it was bought by money made
through the prison brick yard by the
sale of brick. The prison has long
been in need of larger yards in the
manufacture of brick, and the land
was obtained for the purpose of in
creasing its area.
Brickyard Profitable.
The brick yard at the state peni-
tentiary has always been profitable to
the state-and especially has 1t been
so this year. Heretofore the convicts
manufactured daily 10000 bricks,
while this year they have manufac-
tured from $4,000 to 10000 a day.
The increase is due to the fact that
an incentive for work has been Gre
ated by giving the convicts half OF
the brick made beyond certain
number. When these are sold the
convicts secure their share of the
money, and many of them, when leav-
ing the institution, can do so with
$50 or Sc DIN their pockets.

Washington, Aug. THAT he had
travelled throughout the northwest
at government expense getting dele
gates to the National Dairymen's
convention of 1909 to oppose DR.. Har-
vey w. Wiley on his stand that ben
zoate of soda is a dangerous preser-
vative was admitted on the stand to-
day by George P. McCabe, solicitor
for the department of the interior.
During the same testimony McCabe
admitted that he had rebuked one of
DR.. Wiley's assistants for going to
the library to look up legal points on
the question ION government time"
McCabe's admissions were made
before the congressional committee
that has begun probe of affairs of
the department of agriculture as a
result of the report of Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham recommending that
Dir. Wiley should be dismissed for a
technical violation of rules govern
ing the payment of experts.
McCabe said that Secretary James
Wilson did not agree with DR.. Wiley
on the benzoate of soda question. 1t
was by Wilson's orders that he made
the trip through the northwest, WIS.,
iting the delegates before the con-
vention was called and explaining to
them at length the stand that the
head of the department took on the
preservative question. The conven-
ton, he said, acted as he desired.
After he had told this story, at
torneys for Wiley, questioning him
forced from him the story of the re-
buke of Wiley's assistant. He said
that his reason was that he was the
law officer of the department and he
did not propose to have a chemist Of
the department looking up matters oi
law during working hours.

Pursuant to an act passed by the

Of the courts of the state, the COM
mission met this afternoon in the
halls of the house Of the representa-
tlyes at the capitol building.
The last legislature considered the
creation of this commission neces-
sary because of the recent radical
changes in the constitution of the
state relating to the judiciary, dis
trict attorneys, clerks, sheriffs and
Jurors The constitutional amend
ment in the session laws of 1911
sweeps away all of the existing pro-
visions of article VII of the consti-
tuition and in its places puts a ashort
concise amendment which places
many of the matters which were
heretofore controlled by the consti-
tuition and in its places puts short
lature This amendment vests the
judicial power of the state in a su-
preme court and such other courts
as may from time to time be created
by law, and under it it lies within
the power of the legislature to abol-
iyh all courts save the supreme
court.
Many Theories Advanced.
From the members of the bar
come many suggestions and theories
as to the new system to be adopted.
Some advocate the creation of a
court in each county which shall be
in session at all times for the tran
saction of legal business, and that
such court be given jurisdiction Of
probate matters as we'll as law and
equity cases. The plan is opposed
by other members who contend that
the teYure of such an officer would
make him dependent entirely on the
electors Of the county in which he
was elected and that he would listen
to the clamor of the people of that
locality instead of hewing right tc
the legal line. AS a second reason
