WOULD HAVE STATE
GIVE EMPLOYMENT
To ALL NEEDING II.
Educators, Ministers, Officials
and Labor Unions In
dOrse Plan
LEGISLATORS ASKED TO
BACK UP LAURGAARD
His Resolution Provides for
Submitting Plan As Con-
StitutiOnaI Amendment

Monday morning on the desk of each
and every legislator there will be a
copy of a pamphlet directed to the
members of the Twenay-ninth assembly
asking for support for the measures
contained in house joint resolution No
2, introduced by Representative Laur-
gard, proposing an amendment to the
constitution of the state OF Oregon re-
lating to providing citizens with en-
ployment
The pamphlet, which has the endorse
ment of about two hundred of the
state s most prominent educators, min
listers, officials, and labor representa-
tives, states that the solution of the
problem Of unemployment is no longer
expected as result of industrial pros
perity.
This stand is taken on the ground
that increasing numbers of people have
been eliminated from industry by ma
chinery and the multiplied require
ments of skill and efficiency which
limited opportunities have not permit
ted them to keep pace, These people,
accordingly, are not included in the
scope of prosperity, however wide it
may seem.
This measure asks no appropriation.
1t is planned to have the people vote
ON the amendment in November, 1918,
and not until it has been approved by
the people will the details be nndertall-
en-. The following brief statement
gives the gist of the present SYSTEM:
"The present policy of relief, which
is practieed alike by county courts,
charitable agencies and individuals,
consists almost exclusively of almsgiv-
ing. This almsgiving constitutes an in
direct tax, the aggregation Of which
would be empty sufficient, if properly
applied, to provide methods of relief
that would be self-sustaining and thus
eliminate the indirect tax of aims and
at the same time help the economically
dependent to honorable self-support.
"The view is held by many people
that large portion of our unemployed
have not received their Just share OF
the proceeds and advantages of indus
| try and that some method Of readjust-
ment should be made At any rate, those
who are both willing and able to work
should not be branded as paupers or
forced to beg. On the other hand, those
who seek to live without work should be
defeated in any such purpose.
The resolution which the pamphlet
asks support for is as follows:
"The right and opportunity Of any
citizen of this state to secure the neces-
saries of life in return for labor requis-
ite to their production, are hereby de,
elared and established. Provision shall

Polk County Officials
Promise to Make Trouble

Dallas; Or, Jan. 2O.-Reports from
Salem TO the effect that the Polk and
Marion county courts had adopted the
plans calling for a steel bridge across
the Willamette at West Salem, as pre-
pared by the state highway commission,
are erroneous, according to +. c. Kirk
patrick, county judge of Polk county.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick said this morning that
plans had been received from the state
highway commission, but as yet had moi
been adopted.
The Polk county court, as we'll as
the citizens of Polk county, are op
posed to the construction of steel
bridge, it being the sentiment here that
concrete bridge should be construct
ed. Pressure is being brought to bear
upon the two county courts interested
to force an early commencement of OPP
erations

IMPORTANT BILLS
IN HOUSE SATURDAY
One Proposes Consolidating
State Fair and Several
Other Boards

Two important bills were introduced
in the house yesterday afternoon be-
fore adjournment until Monday at
1890 clock on motion of Mrs Alex
ander Thompson. The first was the
first consolidation bill to appear and
concerns the creation of a department
of agriculture with one commission
and five directors.
This measure provides for the con-
solidating of the state horticultural de-
partment, the dairy and food depart
ment, the stallion registration depart
ments, the state fair department, the
the livestock sanitay bord and board
of sheep commissions.
Each of the five directors is to have
department and each is to receive
s., 400 a year salary, including the
commission. The bill was introduced
by Representative Forbes.
The commissioner is to be appointed
by the governor and is to file bond of
$4,000. The directors are each to file
bond of $4,000 and to be expert and
trained men in their respective depart.
ments.
The five departments created are
horticulture, livestock, dairy and pure
food, agricultural fairs, and hay and
grain. Provision is made for the di,
rectors to appoint their assistants with
the approval of the governor. Exam
nations to determine the fitness of the
applicants may be held if it is SO de.
sired.
Under the proposed bill the present
state fair board and the state livestock
boards are retained as advisory boards.
These advisory boards are not to re-
ceive any pay except wen on actual
service.
The other bill was introduced by
Laurgaard of Multnomah county and
it provides for an Appropriation of
$4,000 for repairs to the reservoirs of
the Tumalo project. The bill carried
the unanimous endorsement of the
desert land board.
The bill also contains some changes
in the present existing Tumalo law, the
principal features of which are ex-
tending the time of payment by set
tiers and contract holders from ten to
| 20 years, and .he reduction of the
interest from 6 to per cent to con
form with the provisions of the Rural
Credits Act.
At the recommendation of the Desert
Land Board, the time for complying
with the regulations in regard to fill
| ing of assignments of claims by old
/ contract holders is also extended to
! July /, 1917. The appropriation is
necessary for the reason that after the
completion of the project leaks de
veloped along the line of a natural
fault in the bottom Of the reservoir
This was unforeseen and unavoidable
until such a time as the reservoir was
filled and the pressure of water de
/ veloped these conditions, Should the
rerair of the reservoir be found feas
( ible, it will bring about the actual
sale of lands and the return of the
original appropriation of $450,000 tc
the general fund, with interest. AT
the present time, there is fund OF
about 100000 created by liens on this
old land which is bearing interest to
+ the State.
