IA Appropriation Bills
Provide S778, 7O6. 40 Fund

State Capitol, Salem - Appropria-
tions for sundry and miscellaneous de-
partments of the state government ag-
gregating $778, 706. 40 are provided for
in series of Ia appropriation bills in
troduced in the house by the joint
house and senate ways and means COM
mittee.
These bills carry the items for main
tenance of the executive of the state
government, including the salaries of
the governor, secretary of state, state
treasurer and their Office assistants.
The governor is given his usual allow
ance of $500 year for travelling ex-
penses.
The only big state institutions pro-
vided for in these bills are the Sold
iers' Home at Roseburg, with $751;
658.75 for the biennium, and the Tu-
berculosis hospital, with $53,175
An aggregate of $4,000 is re-
quired for bounties on wild animals for
the next two years. Of this sum $780,
900 is to meet deficiency in the fund
of the last two years. The present
legislature voted to increase the
bounty on coyotes and to place
bounty on seals, and additional ex-
penditures will be required for those
purposes.

House Passes Bill Against
Use of Trading Stamps

State Capitol, Salem-An anti-trad-
ing stamp bill, introduced to drive the
popular trade magnet completely out
of the state, was passed by the house.
The measure was introduced by Repre-
sentative Thomas Brown, of Marion.
Senator Lafollette, of Marion, was the
author of similar bill in the senate.
The measure levies a per cent ex-
else tax on the gross receipts not only
of all concerns conducting a trading
stamp system in the state, but on all
merchants who use them. 1t was ad-
mitted by those who sponsored the bill
that the measure probably will put an
end to the trading stamp business.
Ostensibly, however, the measure is
intended to raise funds for the state,
as the receipts from the proposed tax
are to go into the state treasury.
Representative Brown painted a
dreary picture of the misfortune of the
small merchant who is made to COM
pete with the concern that gives away
trading stamps as an inducement to
attract custom. He declared that the
trading stamp is an unnatural trade
condition, that it is an economic waste
and that it really proves an expensive
attachment to the business of the
who uses it.

DOINGS OF OREGONS LEGISLATURE
Brief Resume of Proceedings of the Peoples Representatives
at the State Capital Bills Introduced Passed. Rejected Etc
Judiciary Committee Has
Bill tor NelD Districts

State Capitol. Salem--F Four new ju
dicial districts are provided for in tn.
plan reported to the house by the ju
dietary committee by substitute house
bill 308. This plan will give the state
total of II judicial districts and will
supersede entirely the system proposed
by President Thompson, of the senate,
for "a districts and an appellate court.
1t also disposes of the numerous inde-
pendent district division bills intro
duced by various members of the house
and the senate.
The new plan, as worked out by
Chairman Olson, and other members
OF the judiciary committee, moved up
a notch when the house passed Senator
Thompson's bill creating the Four
teenth judicial district by detaching
Lake county from the present Thir-
teenth district. This leaves only
klamath county in the Thirteenth.
Create the Fifteenth district to con-
sist of Lane, Lincoln and Benton coun-
ties, by detaching them from the Sec
ond district.
Create the Sixteenth district, COM
prising Coos county, by detaching it
from the present Second district.
Create the Seventeenth district by
Ietach.ng Curry county from the
Second district and Josephine county
from the First district. Jackson
county alone then will embrace the
First district, with Judge Frank M.
Calkins in charge.
This plan will leave Douglas county
alone as the Second judicial district
and the bill provides that Judge J. w.
Hamilton shall remain the circuit
Judge of that district.

Allies Artillery Forces
Said Gaining Ascendancg

Paris - An official eyewitness ac-
count of the recent fighting in France
and Belgium was given out by the
French War department. The writer
says:
During the past ten days detest-
able weather, continuous rains in some
parts and violent snow squalls in
others and thick fog have hindered the
operations nearly everywhere on the
western battle front. In spite of the
conditions this period has been favor
able to us.
"Our artillery obtained brilliant re-
suits and the enemy evidently was un-
able to equal our fire. The French
superiority in ammunition and sup
plies is being more and more con-
firmed.
"Our infantry showed an aggressive
spirit in the Arters, Champagne, Ar
gonne and Alsace regions, and their
operations were crowned with success.
We thus obtained appreciable results.
That the German official communica-
tions after having fatty denied, have
now partially admitted that prisoners
and materials have fallen into our
hands, moreover, are the best proofs
of our success"

Amendment Asks Change
in Lease of Salt Lakes

State Capitol, Salem - The Forbes
house bill approving the lease of Sum-
mer and Albert Lakes to Jason c.
Moore has finally emerged from the
senate committee on public lands.
Attached to the report of the COM
mittee is a recommendation signed by
three of the members that the bill be
so amended that the lessees will be re-
quired to execute bond guaranteeing
payment for all labor and materials
contracted for. The amendment also
makes the lease conditional upon SUBJ
mission by the lessees or their assigns
to regulation by the State Land board
in the sale of shares of stock.
There is strong opposing sentiment
in the committee, as well as in the
body of the senate, against imposing
any new conditions on the lease. The
reason for advancing the amendment
are that certain laborers and material
men have not received payment for
work and materials furnished former
lessee of the lakes, whose enterprise
was abandoned, and that the state
should take precaution against turning
its property over to possible stock
jobbing corporation to exploit.

England Justifes Using
American Emblem,

London-The British foreign office
issued note in reply to the repre-
sentations of the United States gov
ernment concerning the use of the
American flag by British vessels.
The note says that the Cunard line
steamer Lusitania on her recent voy-
age from New York to Liverpool
raised the American flag ito save the
lives of non-combatants, crew and pas
sengers."
1t adds that in spite of the fact that
American passengers embarking on
the Lusitania on her outward voyage
for New York asked that the Ameri-
can flag be hoisted, ''the British gov
ernment did not give any advice to the
company as to how to meet this re-
quest and it is understood the Lusi-
tania left Liverpool under the British
flag"
After discussing the Lusitania incl
dent, the memorandum makes this
statement:
"The British government have no
intention of advising their merchant
shipping to use foreign flags as a gen.
eral practice or to resort to them
otherwise than for escaping capture or
destruction.

Voters to Register but Once.

State Capitol, Salem - House bill
191 providing for permanent registra-
tion was passed by the senate without
argument. The law provides that as
long as an elector resides in the pre-.
cinct in which he registers and votes
at one election held throughout the
county within the biennial election
period ending November 80 following
the regular biennial general election,
he shall not be required to register
again.
If the elector fails to vote as stipu-
lated he shall re-register or notify the
county clerk in not less than 80 days
nor more than 60 days after the regu-
lar November election that he resides
in the district from which he regis
tered and requests in writing that his
name remain on the register of
electors.
This is the second permanent regis
tration law that has been passed by
the Oregon Legislature, one passed at
the session in 1918 having been de-
clared unconstitutional by the Supreme
court. The new law provides that the
county clerk shall use the card index
system in keeping his register of elec-
tors. Each elector shall sign a card
giving his name, age, political affilia-
tion, etc., and shall take an oath that
he is citizen of the United States.
The cards shall be public records and
shall be kept in the Office of the county
clerks as other public records are kept.

u. 5. SHIP SUNK
in NORTH SEA
Mine Encountered OFF German
Coast Thought Cause.
Captain and Crew SaUed: Cotton
Cargo Goes Dopn-InDesti0a-
ti0n Starts Immediately.

Washington, ID. c. -- The United
States government was advised official.
ly Monday night Of the first instance
Of the destruction of an American yes.
sci on the high seas since the outbreak
Of the European war. American Con-
sui Fee, at Bremen, cabled that the
steamer Evelyn and her cargo of cot
ton, bound for Bremen, had been
"blown up at Borkum," just off the
coast Of Germany, but that the crew
had been saved.
The cause-submarine or mine-was
not given in the dispatch.
After conference with President
Wilson, Secretary Bryan cabled Am
bassador Page, at London, and Ambas-
sador Gerard, at Berlin, to make an
exhaustive inquiry as to the facts, and,
II the crew was landed in either of
their respective jurisdictions, to fur
nish every care and convenience to
Captain Smith and his men, so that
they might return home safely.
While the extent of sea zones of
war proclaimed by Germany was never
defined exactly, Borkum Island is con-
sidered far distant from the danger
areas Of submarines, although the
waters Of that vicinity are filled with
mines for defensive purposes, through
which Germany always has piloted in
coming ships.
Early press dispatches from Berlin
announcing the loss of the vessel by a
mine caused somewhat of sensation
in this capital, where the tension has
been more or less pronounced over the
situation in the war zones since the
of warning notes by the
United States to both Great Britain
and Germany.

Pdnamd-Pdcifc Fair

Francieco was acclaimed by salvos o.
artillery from the batteries on botl
sides Of the Golden Gate and from tn,
warships at anchor In the bay. Five
minutes later, 20 drum corps ROLLED
and swaggered through the streets
shrilling to all the town a call to rise
and welcome the opening Of the Pan,
ama-Pacifc international exposition.
President Wilson sent by wireless the
vivifying spark that energized the ex.
position, but since he could not be here
In person II was arranged that the
people themselves enter on their own
ership in their own way.
There was a parade, Of course, but
II was parade like no other--a par
ade as nearly as possible without spec.
tators. All the city marched and none
were left 10 watch.
BY tens Of thousands, in societies
and fraternities, in civic, neighbor-
hood and business organizations, the
people enrolled. As they approached
the entrance TO the concourse fronting
the Tower Of Jewels, there assembling
in the California building at 8 o'clock
the president and vice president of the
exposition, the directors Of the state
exposition commission, the national
exposition commission, the women's
board, representatives Of the army and
navy, directors OF divisions, chiefs of
departments, heads of bureaus and
others.
These marched down the Avenue of
Palms, escorted by exposition guards,
United States Marines and the exposi-
tion band, to the temporary grand
stand erected in front of the Tower of
Jewels. As they took their places,
Governor Johnson, of California, May
or Rolph. of San Francisco, and other
officers of the state and city entered
the grounds at the head of the citi-
zens' procession. The citizens as
sembled in the concourse, while the
governor, the mayor and their parties
passed through lane of soldiers and
marines to the stand, where the presi-
dent and directors of the exposition
received them.
After the exercises were concluded,
President Moore called President Will
Son In Washington on long distance
telephone line previously set up and
at noon Pacific Coast time,
and notified him that the exposition
awaited his touch to be opened. The
President touched button, a wireless
spark flashed through the air across
The continent, and upon its receipt the
colors were raised, salutes
fred, and the Fountain of Energy
eaped upward.

7wo NorWegians, One
Frenchman, Sunk

London - The Norwegian steamer
Nordkyn has been sunk through strik-
ing a mine near Bornholm Island, in
the Baltic sea, according to dispatch.
All of the crew were drowned.
An official statement issued by the
admiralty says the Norwegian tank
steamship Belridge was struck by a
torpedo fred by German submarine
near Folkestone. Pieces of the tor
