Governor Applies Official
Axe ToFive Bills Enacted
ByLegisIature: | 3 Passed

Five more bills fell under the
veto Of Governor Olcott this morn
ing in the final cleanup Of legisla-
ton which had been passed on to
his office for consideration These
included the Upton bill providing
for the appointment of a commits
sioner for the cooperative market
ing of meat. the judiciary commit
tee bill providing an additional
Judge for the tenth judicial district
comprising Union and Wallowa
counties and three minor measures.
In his veto message returning
the Upton bill-senate bill 239-to
the senate, the governor says:
THE bill provides that its pur-
pose is to coordinate the livestock
growers to the end that the specu-
lator and profiteer between the
grower and consumer can be elipi-
nate A bill relating to livestock
scarcely could have a more laud-
able purpose than this and the au-
thor Of the bill has sincerely en-
deavored to bring about some re-
suits toward that end. But it is
doubtful il the bill would reach
the end sought. Its main result
probably would be to place an un-
necessary expense upon livestock
men in the form of fees. which ex-
pense would be borne by the ulti-
mate consumer. Rather than to en-
hance profits for livestock growers
and reduce the cost to the consum-
er apparently the bill might have a
directly opposite effect. The meas
ure seems to be opposed by a great
majority OF the stockmen in all see
tions of the state. We all hope to
see the time when the consumer
and producer may be brought more
closely together for the common
good Of each but this proposed
piece Of legislation is only a doubt
ful step In that direction at the
best"
The bill providing for the addi-
tional Judge for the tenth judicial
district met with executive disfavor
for the two reasons one OF which
is that the provision requiring the
new Judge TO be selected from Wal
Iowa county Is Objectionable and
other being that there is no such
congestion in the business Of the
courts Of the two counties as to
warrant the creation OF this addi-
tionsl office"

ernor today we're:

attorneys for the city, filed an an
swer to the complaint Of the Clark
Henry construction company which
brought suit for the payment of
warrants issued by city officials for

that there was contract entered

The construction company al
leges that the city accepted its bid
and that warrants were issued to
the company for s15,514.1I, which
afterwards were refused payment
by city officials.

Total Campaign Ex-

$1O,33S,5O9

Washington, Mar. .1.-Campaign
costs of electing a president of the
United States in 1920 were s18,-
33S,5O9, as estimated by the spe-
cial senate investigating committee
which today filed its report with
congress. OF this amount, republi-
leans spent $S,100,7S9, while demo-
cratic expenditures were $2,237,77U.
The compilation took into account
only the expenditures made by or
in behalf of all candidates of re-
publican and democratic president
ial candidates and a national, state
congressional and senatorial conl-
mittees of both parrIes.
Expenditures Held Menace.
Senators Kenyon, Iowa; Edge,
New Jersey, and Spencer, Nilsson /,
republicans, and Pomerene, Ohio,
and Reed, Missouri, democrats,
signed the report, which was unan-
imous. While stating their con-
clusion that 'the expenditure of
these vast sums is a present and
growing menace to the nation" no
recommendation for congressional
action were made except that the
suggestion was made that elections
committees of the next congress
should consider the question. Con-
stitutional difficulties may inter-
vene to prevent legislation on the
subject, the report said, but con-
gress should take proper steps to
submit" a constitutional amend
ment dealing with the difficulty 'if
it is found necessary"
While the largest sums of cam
paign expenditure found were
those of the national organizations,
which the committee said was $5,-
319,729 for. the republican party
and $1,31S,274 for the democrats,
candidates who sought presidential
nominations from the conventions
accounted for total of $2,980, ,033.
Wood Spent s1,77s,S0S.
Major General Leonard Woods
effort to obtain the republican
nomination involved expenditure of
$1,773,3O3, the committee found
while for Frank o. Lowden the to-
tai was $414,000; for Senator
Johnson of California, $194,000;
for Herbert Hoover, $4,000, and
for President elect Harding $113,-
600. Expenditures noted in behalf
of other republican candidates were
$4,000 for Senator Poindexter Of
Washington; $68,O00 for vlce-presi-
dent-elect Coolidge and $4,000 for
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler of New
York.
Attorney General Palmer led
democratic candidates in eXpendi-
lures, the amount being fixed at
$4,000, while Governor Cox, who
obtained the nomination, spent
$4,000. James w. Gerard, former
to Germany, was listed
at $4,000 and Senator owen, Okla
homa, at $85S95. Two candidates
in behalf of whom no money was
found to have been spent, were
William G. McAdoo, democrat, and
Senator France, republican, Mary
land.
Democrats Spend Little.
Something over 100000 of the
total went into senatorial and con-
gressional contests, the committee
found, of which only $4,000 was
spent by democratic national or
created for the pur-
pose. The republican congression-
al committee spent $3757,969 while
the G. o. P. senatorial organization
spent $326,98O.
Through state committees, the
report said, the republicans spent
an aggregate of s2.O7S.O6O against
S88,323 for their democratic COM
petitors.
