Senate Acts Quickly.

washington, Feb. 25.--In less than
an hour the senate late yesterday
voted the Sutherland amendment m
to the resolution providing for the
election Of United States senator's by
direct vote of the people, fixed Tues
day as the time for voting on the res
olution itself, made the case involv-
ing Senator Lorimer's set for unfin-
ished business and received the Ca
madam reciprocity bin from the COM
mittee on finance
In addition there was much discus
sion of the order of business. Several
speeches we're arranged and Senator
Penrose gave notice that on Monday
he would ask the senate to consider
the postoffice appropriation bill,
which includes the provision increas-
ing the postage on advertising por-
ton of magazines
No sooner had Senator Bevericge
concluded his speech in opposition 60
Senator Lorimer than almost a dozen
senators began 'jockeying" for posi-
ton. Senator Hale asked that the
unfinished business be laid before the
senate.
This was the resolution providing
for a constitutional amendment rJr
the election of United States senators
by popular vote and the resolution
was taken up.
Almost before senators had time to
realize what was taking place, the
vice president directed the roll call
on the amendment offered by Sena-
tor Sutherland, eliminating so much
of the amendment as takes from con-
gress the right to supervise senatorial
elections. The vote resulted in favor
of the amendment, so to 81.
OF the affirmative vote only one
was cast by a democrat, Senator
Clarke Of Arkansas casting that one.
Seven republicans. Borah, Bourne,
BristOw Brown, Cummins, Gronna
and La Toilette were recorded in op-
position to the provision.

No Wage Cutting.

New York, Feb. 25.-It is generally
believed that the railroads wont pro-
test against the interstate commerce
associations decision, that everything
will soon be adjusted, that roads will
carry out their propected improve
ments, and that no fight or higher
rates will be made; but that they will
retrench for the purpose of meeting
current obligations. AS the railroads
have signed contracts with most of
their employees covering a term of
years it is unlikely there will be much
wage cutting, it is said.

MAY CLASH OVER
ROAD SUPERVISION
COUNTY WILL CHANGE
ROAD SYSTEM MARCH L
Judge Maloney Would Employ Three
Roadmasters to Superintend Work
commissioners May Want TO Do
1t Themselves, for Pay.

At the March meeting of the coun-
" court, which begins next Wednes-
day, one of the most important things
to come up for consideration will be
the proposition of how to supervise
the road work of the county.
During the past few years the
county has employed a county road
master and Dave Lavender has served
in that capacity and still retains the
position. 1t is the intention of the
court to abolish that office the first
of the month and to take up a new
system of supervision.
Maloney's Plan.
County Judge Maloney favors the
plan of having three roadmasters to
look out for the road work in the
three natural sections into which the
county is divided. He wants to en-
ploy practical men for these positions
and to get men who by their residence
and through other qualifications will
he able to do fest yet thorough work
upon the roads at times of the year
when the work is needed. He would
have the roads wo. ked for perhaps
two months in the spring and an
equal time in the fall. the roadmast-
ers being paid only for such time as
they are actually at work
May Adopt Old Plan.
However, it is possible the two
commissioners, Walker and Cockburn,
may outvote the Judge upon this point
and return to the old plan of super
vising road work themselves. Under
this arrangement each member of the
court would be assigned certain por-
ton of the country to supervise. They
draw pay and travelling expenses
when engaged in such work.
1t is known that Commissioner
Walker favors adopting this plan
again and to an extent he has Com
missioner Cockburn with him in the
matter. However, the east end COM
missioner also looks with favor upon
Judge Maloney's plan and it is pos
sible he may favor that plan when
time for action arrives.

GOVERNOR WEST AND
Il. B. KAY HERE TODAY
Man Appointed as Branch Asylum
Engineer Arrives With Wife and
VIII Remain Permanently-West
and Kay VIII Stay and Decide Build
ing Location.

For the purpose of taking up pre-
liminary work looking to the con-
struction of the branch asylum build
ings Engineer Charles A. Murphy ar
rived here this morning Governor
West and State Treasurer Kay are to
be here Monday. 1t is understood
that they will remain for several days
and settle matters regarding the To-
cation of the buildings.
Prior to his arrival Mr.. Murphy
had wired to Dan p. Smythe asking
him to have ten laborers engaged to
go to work this morning. These men
We're secured and this morning were
set to work digging test pits in front
of the r. L. Oliver home on the asy-
lum site. 1t is understood that the
pits are being dug for the purpose of
ascertaining what manner of a foun-
dation that land offers for building
purposes.
When interviewed by phone at the
Oliver place today Mr.. Murphy said
he could say nothing further than
that he is under instructions from the
state board to dig the foundation pits
upon the Oliver place. As to whether
or not it is now fully determined that
the buildings go upon the bottom land
near the Oliver place he does not at
tempt to predict.
Here TO Stay.
on this trip to Pendleton Mr.. Muir
ply is accompanied by his wife and
he comes to Pendleton to live. He will
be the engineer at the branch asylum
and that he expects to remain here
permanently is evidenced by the fact
that he has also shipped his house
hold goods.
The appointment of Mr.. Murphy az
engineer for the branch asylum is
very pleasing to many local people
who know him. He is we'll known to
former Salemites and to a number of
local men because of his military SER
vice. AS a lieutenant in Company X,
Second oregon infantry, Murphy was
a fellow officer in the Philippines
with George Hartman, Jr. Until re-
Gently he was captain of the Salem
o. y. G. company and was rated as
one of the most capable officers in
the regiment.
For a number of years past Mr..
Murphy has been assistant engineer
at the asylum at Salem and his as
signment to the position here is due
to his good record there.

to the state.
House bill 1876. having for its pur-
pose authorization of the reclama-
tion Of certain lands in the state now
covered by the waters of nonnavga-
bic lakes, was also returned with
Governor Vests veto. Acknowledge
ing there is much merit in the BILL the
governor does not approve OF it for
the reason that Il does not provide
for the sale of reclaimed lands in
small tracts to actual settlers. but
provides that the state land board
shall execute deeds direct TO recla-
nation companies for all land re-
claimed by the companies and at any
price fixed by the board Owing to
this objection, the governor believes
II is possible that the bill may result
In acquisition of large tracts OF land
by reclamation companies and their
being withheld for speculation and
thus retarding the growth of the
country.
The veto ak fell on senate bill 303
today. This bill provides that the
salaries of all circuit judges in the
state except those in the fourth ju-
dicial district be raised. Governor
West explains his attitude in this
matter by saying the people at the
last election. and in no uncertain
terms placed themselves on record
as being opposed to any such increase
in Judges salaries, and he thinks 1t
Is not for him to consent to the cir
cumvention of their wishes through
the legislature.
In view of the fact that the legis-
lature has appointed a commission to
review the judicial system, the gov
ernor thinks It can do no harm to
postpone the matter two years at
least.
Governor Vests veto message was
attached to House Bill 116. which
creates a prosecuting district in each
county and provides for the election
OF district attorney in each district.
Governor Vests reasons for vetoing
this bill are that he believes the SAL
aries fixed for prosecuting attorneys
as set forth in the bill will throw ad-
ditional burdens on the taxpayers of
the state, and that the trainers of the
bill fixed the fees without giving the
matter careful consideration of its
merits Although he admits in the
message there may be merit to the
bill, the commission to revise the )u-
dicial system should have an opportu-
nifty to report to the Legislature and
the matter should be deferred for two
years at least.
Other Bills Vetoed.
Governor West has also vetoed the
following bills:
S. b.. 54, by Bowerman-An act to
prevent fraud against the state.
S. b. 1856, by Dean and Calkins-
Raise prosecuting attorneys salary,
fourth district, to $1,000.

preparation of $4,000.

ney of the fifth district.
