UNIFORM SALARY
BILL PASSES HOUSE
Classifles Counties and Fixes Salaries
of County Officers on Basis
of Population.

Late last night the house, after
hours Of discussion and disagreement
passed the governors uniform county
salary bill, but considerably amended
as drawn and approved by the COVER
nor. However, it was pronounced by
the majority Of house members as one
of the greatest reforms that could be
inaugurated by the legislature.
The bill classifles the counties into
six classes in basis Of population and
assessed valuation, as follows: First,
Multnomah; second, Lane and Marion;
third, Clackamas, Douglas, Jackson,
Linn and Umatilla; fourth, Baker,
Coos, Crook, Grant, Harney, klamath,
Lake, Malheur, Union, Wasco, Wash
ington Yamhill; fifth, Benton, Clatsop,
Columbia, Josephine, Morrow, Polk,
Tillamook and Wallowa; sixth, Curry,
Gillian, Hood River, Lincoln, Sher-
man and Wheeler.
The present salaries in Multnomah
county are unchanged. Coroners and
surveyors are to be paid by fees. The
salaries OF officials in counties in the
various classes are as follows:
Fifth class-Sheriff, $17OO; clerk,
$500; assessor, $500; school superin-
tendent, $1,000; treasurer, 5000; Judge,
$1,000; commissioners, $5 a day.

The Job.
A BROTHER -IN-LAW STUNT
Committee Recommends ApprOprlating
$lSO,OOO for Oregon Exhibit at
Panama Fair.
A BROTHER -IN-LAW STUNT

One of the biggest fights Of the leg
islative session is coming over the ap-
preparations for the Panama and the
San Diego exposltions. The commit
tees on expositions finally introduced
bill into the house late last night, as
a substitute for the previous bill, to
appropriate $1SOOOO for the Oregon
representation at the Panama exposi-
ton, and $4,000 for the San Diego af,
fair.
This is somewhat surprising, in view
OF the fact that the first bill named
$5OO,OOO for the Panama exposition
alone, but it is understood that there
is a general feeling that any larger
sum would be defeated by the people
in a referendum election. However,
1t Is known that a strong fight will be
made to make the appropriation at
least 100000.
But the big fight will come over the
composition of the commission to ex-
pend Oregon's appropriation funds.
The substitute bill stipulates that this
commission consist of nine members
to be chosen by the emergency board,
consisting Of the governor, secretary
of state, state treasurer, president Of
the senate, speaker of the house, and
the chairmen of the ways and means
committee Of the house and senate.
This board, on the face of 1t, would
be anti-West, and would doubtless ap-
point commission inimical to the
governor.
The emergency board shows that
with Speaker Macarthur, President Of
the Senate Malarkey and Chairmen
Perkins and Abbott, of the ways and
means committees, all Portland men,
and leaders in the so-called organiza-
tion, in control of both houses, would
be in a majority over Governor West,
Secretary of State Olcott and State
Treasurer Kay.
Even some of the governors polite
al enemies are opposed to putting the
responsibility Of planning and prepar-
ing 0regons exhibition at the Panama
exposition, and having charge of the
exposition, in the hands of a commits
sion to be chosen by the Portland ma
jorty on the emergency board.
The fight over the manner of naming
this commission is expected to be a
bitter one.
The substitute bill proposes that the
Panama exposition money be expend-
ed as follows:
Buildings and grounds, SiS000;
salaries Of employees, s65,OOO; glass
ware, $1,000; storage packing ETC.,
$4,000; literature, $500; freight,
$4,000; information bureau, $4,000;
entertainment, $4,000; fruit berries,
etc, for free distribution, $4,000;
travelling and hotel expenses, $500;
premiums for live stock exhibits,
$500.

| IL lhe IepOTIeT, III llB uluTnal SearCi
for news, could print all that he
hears, there would certainly be a bis
increase in his papers subscription
list, for the things he is forced to turn
down are those brim full of interest
Now, Capital Journal reporter last
night, meandering around the lobby
and shaking hands with old Eastern
and Southern Oregon friends, heard
several stories of just this class, YET
all, while apparently true, lacking
that substantiation that would protect
the newspaper from a libel suit, If IL
used them, There was one story
though, that seemed to have strong
following that may prove Of interest
This, like many other stories, Is sim
ply matetr Of inference, but the oom-
bination is surely queer one, wheth-
er the inference is correct or not. II
Is evident that the report Of the "Ways
and Means" committees in both the
house and senate are being unneces-
sarily held up. Why, no one knows
definitely but here is the situation
and the inferences you can draw to
suit yourself
Abbott, who is chairman of the
house committee on ways and means
Is the brother-in-law of Duniway who
Is brother-in-law of Plimpton, and
he is brother-in-law OF Perkins who
holds down the job of chairman of the
committee on ways and means in the
senate. Abbott was at one time the
business partner Of Mr.. Duniway, the
state printer, and some even go SO
far as to say that he is still interest
ed with Mr. Duniway in the printing
business-but II he is The Journal is
not aware Of It.
Now, as every one knows, there Is
pretty bitter fight over the state
printing. Mr.. Duniway, naturally, be-
ing opposed to the proposed FLAT sal
airy Of the state printer as the
emoluments Of the office, and earn
ings Of the plant, which Is owned by
Mr. .Dunlway, would be, or are much
larger than the flat salary, though, he
contends, the cheaper system for the
state.
Now, for the Inference. Is It prob
able that the selection Of Abbott in the
house and Perkins in the senate. for
these committees that would have
charge Of the bills, was Just a coin
cidence mere happening? Is It not
more fair to presume that these &C.
lections were made by political man
ipulatlon and private influences Of
which neither President Malarkey or
Speaker Macarthur were aware?
Anyway, these are the things that
are talked In the lobby, and discussed
pro and con, and cause some shaking
Of heads and sly wlnklng. The Jour
nal reporter does not know but that
these rumors and conversations are
absolutely foundatlonless, but the facts
remain as stated, and you can reach
the conclusion that suits you best, with
out hurting the reporters feeling or

HOUSE WAS PEEWSH
OVER LATE SESSION
But Members Felt Easier After Ex,
changing Compliments and
Passed Some Bills.

Hollow-eyed and a little peevish
were the members Of the house af-
ter their late night session, and a
little more peevish, too, when that
body was called to order at 9.3O this
morning.
This peevishness cropped out es-
Ipecially during the discussion of the
Hill bill to provide for county attor-
neys and abolish district attorneys.
The main fight was over the salaries
the bill carried for the various coun-
ties. Almost every member was jeal-
ously looking out for either the well
fare Of nice fat salary for his coun-
ty or for the interests Of the tax
payers. Salary grab" another
steal" Vicious" breakers of plat
form economy election pledges" were
some of the denunciations hurled by
those opposed to the bill. "Rour flush
ers," "hypocritical economists" and
grand stand players" shouted some
of those who favored the bill.
Sitting everything down It can be
e'ated truthfully that one faction
claimed that the bill raised salaries in
most counties and the other faction
claimed that It decreased them. Vari-
GUS efforts were made to amend the
bill, and a general tangle Of talk and
parliamentary procedure resulted.
The bill was finally passed by a vote
Of 40 to 20.
Among the bills passed today were
several tending to better the morals
Of Oregon Probably the most import
ant was that of Hagood to help out
the governors moral crusade. This
will compel all owners Of hotels,
rooming houses apartment houses and
tenement houses to place on them a
CONSPICUOUS sign giving their names
and addresses. Should the bill become
a law 1t would enable the authorities
to get at the owners Of many evil
places, which are now run under the
guise Of responsibility.
A bill by Howard, which was passed,
IS along the same line. It would en-
able the authorities To- enjoin and
abate evil resorts by compelling the
owner Of building used by such re-
sort to put up n bond after he was
found guilty, to insure that he will
abate the nuisance or compel the re-.
sort to cayate. The bond in no case,
however is to exceed the value Of the
building.
The house passed q bill by Hurd, in.
troduced at the request Of District At
torney Bryson, of Eugene, amending
a present law TO make II unlawful to
sell malt liquor This bill reduces
the legal percentage Of alcohol in any
beverage from two and one-half per
cent, as at present, TO one per cent,
and prohibits the selling Of hard cider.
Applegrons bill to make the
grounds Of non-support and willful ne
glect to furnish actual living expenses
n cause for divorce, Is also half u
law.
Speaker McArthur's bill 10 provide
a fund Of $500 annually for the protoc.
tIon Of the state from the bubonIc
plague was passed. as was the Hughes
bill, providing that each Of the three
members Of the state BARRIERS COM
mission must be an active working

COMMITTEE GETS
DECIDEDLY SASSY
Ways and Means Committee
Tells Speaker and House
to "GO to He'll"
JOE SINGER FRIGHTENED
But Speaker Quiets Him BY PrOmis-
ing Not to Accept the Kindly
Invitation.
JOE SINGER FRIGHTENED

The house was in session last night
until l o'clock in an effort to pass
as many bills as possible before Sat-
urday night, as the senate has given
out the ultimatum that after that day
1t will receive no more house bills
for consideration. Much important
business was disposed of at the night
session.
But it was only by iron-handed
methods that Speaker Macarthur was
enabled to have a quorum present. At
8 O'Clock, the time set for the evening
session, there still lacked a quorum,
as the ways and means committee, the
/ exposition committee and the Judi
cial committees were holding import
ant meetings elsewhere. Speaker Nc
Arthur ordered Sergeant-at-Arms Joe
Singer to summon the members OF
the exposition and judicial commit
tees forthwith. Singer soon came
trooping in with exposition committee
members There still lacked a quo
rum, but the house treaded water by
transacting light business routine.
A little later Singer reported to the
speaker that the judicial committee
had refused to even answer his knock
at their door. Macarthur then ordered
Singer to get an axe and break down
the door, and bring the members in
to the house, dead or alive. Twenty
minutes later Singer returned with
the judicial committee, all alive.
Through desertion from one cause
or another there was barely a quorum
at 10 o'clock, and Speaker Mr.. Arthur
ordered the doors closed and locked,
and that no more MEMBERS leave the
house without his permission.
Some time later, when the uniform
salary bill was about to come up,
Macarthur ordered Sergeant-at-Arms
Singer to summon the ways and means
committee from their session. Singer
returned In few minutes, and ex-
citedly related that the committeeman
had told him and the speaker and
the house to go to some place warmer
than Salem.
Macarthur then put the question Of
the committees dsobedience and in
subordination up to the house for
action, and that body voted unani-
mously to uphold the committees re-
fusal.
And thus It was all night. All mem
bers tired out and grabbed. Another
revolt occurred about II o'clock, when
Nolta, Of Multnomah, started to explain
his vote on the salary bill. Several
Multnomah members objected. Then
Nolta, crimson with rage, sat down
and shouted: "Now you fellows just
try and make me vote"
Speaker Macarthur explained to Mol
ia that earlier in the evening the
house had adopted n rule that on roll
call members could no longer orally
explain their votes, but must send
such explanation in writing to the
clerks desk, Nolta, however refused
~ vote, or make explanation in writing
and, glaring over at his fellow coll
leagues in the Multnomah delegation,
said: "You fellows make me vote II
you can. I'm getting tired Of all this
hot air business"
The roll call went ahead without
Nolta, after Macarthur had informed
the house that there was no way OF
compelling a member to vote If he abb
solutely refused to do 50.
