After spirited parleying with Sena-
tors Calkins and Bean defending the
bill and Dan Kellaher stoutly opposing
the measure, the senate today passed
over the veto Of Governor West SEN
ate bill No. 2S6, providing a higher sal
ary for the office Of prosecuting attor-
ney in the fourth judicial district
Twenty-Five senator's voted aye on
the bill, two were absent and Senator's
Kellaheri Miller and l. S. Smith voted
against the bill
The bill provided that section
1886, Lords Oregon Laws, be amend
ed and providing that the prosecuting
attorney of the fourth district shall
receive an annual salary of $2400, pro-
vided that he shall appoint a deputy
district attorney for each Of the coun-
ties embraced in the district, the sal
airy of the deputy for Lane county to
be 5000 a year, that of the deputy for
Benton county to be 5000 and that of
the deputy for Lincoln county to be
$500, with the further provision that
one-half of the salary of each of the
deputies shall not be paid by the state.
In his veto message, accompanying
the bill when it was returned to the
1911 senate, the governor declared that
no showing had been made, which in
his opinion, would justify the increase
The bill, if it becomes law, will add
an expenditure of about $1,000 to the
annual cost of conducting the office.
