WORKMEN'S ACT
IS CONDEMNED

Salem, Ore, Jan. 24.-Split wide
open over the resolution censuring
Representative A. w. Lawrence for
his introduction of the workmen's
compensation bill. the state federation
of labor spent the entire morning in
one of the stormiest sessions it has
ever known. At the latest report OBJ
tainabie yesterday afternoon the fight
was still on and no vote had been ta-
ken.
Wednesday night the federation
condemned the compensation act by a
vote of "a to 23, after debating the
measure all day long.
Bitter feeling is said to be running
high among the delegates, and many
of those who voted to condemn the
bill are demanding that Lawrence be
censured in strong terms. They de-
clare that he, as a union man, had
no right to introduce the bill until he
found out the attitude the federation
would take in regard to it.

FIRST ROAD BILL
COMES TO FRONT

Salem, Ore, Jan. 24.-A compre-
hensive plan of highway improve
ment, embracing the features of state
aid to groups of counties that wish
to take advantage of the act is pro-
vided in a bill introduced in the SEN
ate by Won der HELEN of Jackson
county, chairman of the committee on
roads and highways, on request of
the Oregon Hotel association.
Senator Won der HELEN regards this
bill as having great merit, but is not
committing himself to any particular
bill. He says he expects that his
committee will have to gather in all
the road bills as they are introduced,
consider them together, and try to
produce some homogeneous bill from
the ones that are offered.
The bill presented by the Hotel
Mems association, which was drafted
by w. c. Bristol, is the first general
road bill making its appearance. 1t
fixes low salaries for a highway COM
missioner and assistants as a conces-
sion to the outside counties, which
have not been favorable to salaries
such as some of the leading road ad-
vocates say it is necessary to pay.
The bill defines a state highway as
one connecting the larger centers of
population, used more or less by the
people of the entire state and by trav-
ei from other states Any group of
two or more contingent counties,
through their county courts, may
unite in asking for the establishment
of state highway. The initiative
may come from petition of not les,
than 100 property owners of each
county interested.

must pass on the roads designated

Thompson Leads Opposition.
The nearest test of what's what be-

Are You Subject
to Constipation
Here Is simple way Of Correcting
1t Instantly Before It Becomes
Chronic.

Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thou
sands injSre themselves by the use of
strong cathartics, salt mineral waters
pills and similar things. They have
temporary value in some cases, it is
true, but the good effect is soon lost
and the more one takes of them the
less effective they become.
A physic or purgatIve is seldom ne
cessary, and much better any more
permanent results can be obtained by
using a scientific remedy like DR..
Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. 1t does not
hide behind a high sounding name.
but is what it is represented to be,
a mild laxative medicine. 1t is so
mild that thousands of mothers give
it to tiny infants, and yet it is so
compounded, and contains such defi-
note ingredients that It will have
equally good effect when used by
person suffering from the worst
chronic constipation. In fact, among
the greatest endorsers of Syrup Pep
sin are elderly people who have suf-
fered for years and found nothing to
benefit them until they took Syrup
Pepsin
1t is fact that millions of families
have Syrup Pepsin constantly in the
house, homes like those of Mrs. G
B. Pruitt, Berea, KY, who used DR.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin as a laxative
tonic. Mrs. Pruitt writes that it so
strengthened and cleansed her sys-
tenn that she was quickly relieved of
severe cough which had troubled
her for months. The special value OF
this grand laxative tonic is that it is
