EIGHT SENATE BILLS,
INCLUDING TUITION BILL
APPROVED BY HOUSE
Two Consolidation Bills Held
Up Until Senate Amend
nlentS Are Printed

The work Of the house this morning
was confined to the consideration of
senate bills on the third reading, eight
Of which were passed and two were
held over for the printing and consid.
Grafton of proposed amendments.
The most important of the senate bills
passed by the house this morning was
senate bills S5, by Senator Moser, and
Ga, by Senator Perkins, the first Of
which provides that on school districts
in which no county or district high
schools are located special levy Of
taxes may be provided to constitute q
high school tuition fund which will en-.
able the pupils of one district to attend
high school in another and his or her
tuition is to be paid out of the county
fund.
This bill met with very little oppoBi-
tion in the house, some objections hav-
ing been raised by Representative Jones
of Wallowa, who claimed that the high
school question had been settled in his
county and that his constituents were
opposed to further legislation which
would revive the subject, and Repre-
sentative Porter did not think it right
for the legislature to force the issue
upon counties and districts which did
not want it, Representative Davey
however, explained that the special
levy was not compulsory but gave the
counties the option of establishing high
schools or providing means for sending
their children to high schools in adjoin
ing counties or districts where higl
schools are maintained.
Senator Moser's bill provides fol
changing the time of holding county
teachers examination from the thirC
to the last Wednesday in June, substi
tutes the subject Of physiology fo
physical geography in the list Of sub
ieets for one year teachers certificates
and limits the number Of excuses whicl
the school superintendent may grant tC
pupils for absence TO five days in any
three months.
Several senate bills, which were pass
ed by the senate yesterday, came owe
to the house this morning and wer,
passed up to third reading and ordere,
printed included among which were tn
two consolidation bills one Of wbicI

Waiting and watching.

Washington, Feb. l9.-" Watchful

some officials admitted they were still

Germany's professions Of complete
friendship for the United States have
caused the authorities to believe that,
with the exercise Of reasonable precau.

the endangered British waters II is
admitted, however that British mer.

German submarines might easily make
mistake which would end disastrously

London, Feb. l9.--Another report
from Field Marshal Sir John French,
commander IN chief Of the British
forces in the field, was made public to.
day. It admits severe fighting along
the entire front in northern France and
Flanders, with neither side able to gain
a materiu. advantage.
The report reviewed the operations
up to yesterday, paying high tribute
to the spirit Of the British troops and
the achievements of the British air
men.
"'The enemy has displayed consider
able activity southeast of Ypres during
the last few days" the report says
"Tha fighting has been severe. At Ger
tain points the Germans have occupied
some Of our trenches, but they were

Both branches Of the Legislature are
in complete deadlock over an aggra.
waited situation, in which sectarian
charitable institutions, aided and abet-
ted by the arch manipulation of the
destinies Of the senate, have organized
conspiracy which has tied up com
pletely all legislation pertaining to ap-
preparations until Chairman Day, Of
the senate ways aud means committee,
disgorges tho house bill appropriating
$4,000 for the support and mainten-
ance of the girls training school, and
the fight between the two branches of
the assembly over the consolidation
embroglio, which, unless d compromise
is reached some time today, threatens
to hold the legislature in session in
definitely.
Perhaps that phase Of the delicate
situation which has aroused the strong
est feeling Of bitterness between the
two branches of the legislature is the
insistence Of the senior branch upon
the complete elimination Of the present
personnel of tho industrial accident
commission and consolidation Of the
department with the bureau Of labor
and industrial, welfare commission
which small following Of Speaker
Selling and Representative Schuebel
declare they will fight to the last ditch
and will not give an inch. The senate
is just as stubbornly determined to re.
organize the whole system, as built
up by former Governor West, and If a
new proposition which has been sug-
gested as compromise does not pre-
vail the Legislature win adjourn leav.
ing the situation before either side
will give in.
The compromise proposition which
has been offered and which will bC
presented for consideration some time
today is that the industrial accident
commission, the bureau Of labor ant
industrial welfare commissions b,
merged with Labor Commissioner Hof
at the head Of the department as chair
man, TO serve during the balance Of III,
term for which he has been elected
and with two commissioners TO be ap
pointed by the governor. This seem
the most likely and reasonable solu
tion TO the situation and It is know
that, IL the small following that /
