McNary's Plea for
Hands Off To Halt
Passage

! The senate Saturday afternoon
by vote of 20 to 8, with Ryan alb
sent and not voting, Indefinitely
postponed action the anti-Japanese
colonization question as represented
hy house bill No. 1va.
The question came in on report
by the judiciary committee without
recommendation. Senator Banks
moved the indefinite postponement
Of the bill and supported his mo-
ton by calling his attention to the
request Of Senator NcNary that
Oregon keep hands off this aues-
ton until the federal government
can take action.
Meets Opposition.
Senators Eddy, Eberhard and
Patterson opposed the motion to in
definitely postpone on the ground
that II was state question and de-
manded action at this time before
the menace became too great to be
handled.
Senaor Eddy, in attempting to
prevent postDoncment OF the meg.
ure. called attention to the wide
difference between the standard of
the japanese and those in this
county The japanese, he insisted
were an unassimilable race and i'll
was the duty of the state to actI
while there was yet time.
Senator Thomls called attention
to the rapidity with which the Jap
anese were crowdins into the /
Rogue river valley since they had
been legislated out of California, |
ana declared that to delay solution
Of the question for another two
years might prove serious.
Nine Favor Action.
Banks, IN repl~-s to the advo-
'ates Of the bill, characterized the
measure as discriminatory in that it |
singled out the Japanese from

lirected.

Kay, Ritner
Lead Attempt
ToEndTalngle
Unofficial Proposals
Would Eliminate
One Representative
From Marion Co.

When it became apparent Sat
urday that there was LITTLE or no
hope of passing the bin now before
the senate providing for reap
portionment of the legislative dis
tricts Of Oregon, President Ritner,
of the senate, Representative Kay
and other legislators hit upon the
idea that a compromise might be
reflected which would insure the
to the electors of practically every
section Of the state
Following out this idea, Presi-
dent Ritner and Representative
Kay, together with a few other
lawmakers, went into conference
here Sunday in an effort to work
out a bill that would give the en-
tire state fair representation and
meet the approval of the legisla-
ture.
1t was made plain by Senator
Ritner and Representative Kay that
this conference was called without
the authority OF either branch Of
tiiC ICE Eif1dihlt anu was q
move to unravel tn present re-
apportionment tangle and whip into
shape some concrete offering ac-
ceptable to the voters of the state.
Plans Partly Worked Out
At the conclusion of the confer
ence last night neither President
Ritner nor Representative Kay
would divulge any information 9TH
err than that they had given the
bill now before the senate careful
consideration and had partly devils
ed a plan whereby many of the
alleged inequalities could be elm
mated.
Under the proposed compromise
Il Is not believed that Marion coun
ty will lose any of its senatorial
representation although one house
member will be eliminated.
jackson Not to Lose
IT also was reported that no
change would be made in the rep
resentation of Jackson county,
which now has one senator. Under
the bill now before the senate, 1t
was proposed to link Jackson and |
Josephine counties in a senatorial
district, but this met with strenu-
GUS opposition on the part of Sem
ator Thomas of Medford.
Similar objection also was voic-
ed to the plan by Senator Smith
of Josephine county. who charged
that the adoption OF such pro-
gram would rob his county of all
its senatorial representation.
While not in a position to speak
officially for either house of the
legislature, President Rltner and
Representative Kay said that they
believed progress has been made
toward a solution of the reappor-
tionment problem. The extent to
which the proposed amendment
will satisfy the state at large Will
not be known until today's confer
ence.
All Interested In Blu
The reapportionment measure

ly proposed law in which every
member of either house has per-
sonal interest. Because of this, sew

Silverton Has "Tag
Day" for Hospital

Silvcrton, Ore, Feb. 21.- Satur-
day was tag day" in Silverton,
and an effort was made to sell
stock in the Silverton hospital suf-
ficient to take care of the $4,000
mortgage against the property.
Two committees were working dill
gently during. the day and were
successful in selling considerable
stock, but the exact amount has
not yet been determined, 1t is
known, however, that the commit
tees were very successful and the
sales were really better than they
expected. Since the hospital was
built about two years ago, Silver
ton has learned the great import
ance of the institution and busi-
ness men responded generously
when asked to subscribe for stock
That it will be maintained is a

Alexandria, La. has joined the group

motor tourists by providing a convenient
camping site for them. The civic COM

and satisfactory camping places. In the

Parking is a difficult thing nowadays
even for the native citizen of most of the

a city to help these travellers to feel COM

Hardly Fair.
(Rutland Herald.)

The Brattfe0oro Reformer says:
Former Governor Stearns and his
town of Johnson Seem to have been ig-
nOred by the state board of education in
the assignment of teacher training
courses, but in view of the kind of cam
paign Mr.. Stearns made in the recent
legislature he could not expect much con-
sideratiOn from his enemies
The Herald does not believe the men,
berS of the state board of education are
enemies of Mr.. Stearns or of any taxpayer
in Vermont; neither does it believe that
considerations other than the most earnest
desire to serve the state in the best posi-
bic manner entered into the choice of Lyn-
dOnville, Burlington and Castleton as To-
cations for two-year training courses.
johnson does not offer an ideal site or
a very good plant for such work The
town Is more or less difficult of access, the
opportunities for practice work in the
schools limited and the advantages of the
town very prOblematical. Except under
considerable pressure and solicitation it
would be very difficult to get enough
pupils together in Johnson to warrant
training class.
Iyndonville serves the northern part
OF the state handily. Burlington has some
excellent advantages and Castleton has a
plant ready for business, plenty of practice
work within trolley distance and the adj
vantages of both city and country at the
service of the pupils.
The wisdom of the legislature in de-
manding at least three training courses
Is also very much to be questioned 1t
was done, of course, for a specific purpose,
but 1t is question if. instead Of aiding
that purpose it has not defeated it.
Iwo-year teacher training courses are
something of a novelty in educational
circles. The legislative plan may work
out, and the board, on its part, has shown
itself ready to bow to popular demand
suthcIently to abandon its plan for a teach
ers college and to establish the three
training courses, but it is by no means
certain that this settles the question.
1t Is, however, at least fair to assume
that considerations of service. not animos-
n.y. animated the board in voting as it
did for the location of the courses in Lyn-
donyllle, Burlington and Castleton

The proposal to establish a federal de-
partment of welfare with a woman as
secretary and a place in the Presidents
cabinet has been regarded with consider
able favor because of the need for cen
tralized health and welfare organization
in the government From the standpoint
of charging the cabinet it is more dubi-
GUS
The tendency in recent years has been
toward cabinet representation of every
interest that could claim sufficient atten-
ton. In 1889 the agriculture department
was established; in 1903 came COM
bined commerce and labor department
which was divided into two separate de-
partments in 1913. If these presidents
are followed we may expect depart
ment of shipping, of transportation, of
mines, of railroads, and so on indefin-
itely.
Such an increase in secretaries would
inevitably make the cabinet unwieldy,
and would raise the question as to the
real functions of such a body. If the
chief purpose of the cabinet is regarded
cretaries would be a distinct handicap
to its work. If it is simply a collection
of heads of executive governmental de-
partments, there might be better way
to group them.
Several other governments have al
ready adopted a scheme which might
prove feasible for the United States. That
is the establishment of an inner cabinet
of a few members to consider serious
questions of policy, and larger cabinet
of officers with administrative powers
only.
The Worlds Work suggests editorial
~ that under such an arrangement there
would be needed one secretary of ma
tional defense under whom army, navy
and air heads would administer those
branches of defense. The state and
treasury departments and the attorney
generalship are suitable as they are, but
the postofice, agriculture, commerce. la
Dor, interior and welfare departments are
executive rather than policy-makfng.
They might better be represented in the
inner cabinet by fewer than six men. In
the larger cabinet they could have as
many specialists and executive heads as
the work required.
Too much consolidation in government
may be dangerous, but too much expen-
sion is equally harmful to public good,
either through its 1essening of response
bility or its cumbersome ineffectiveness
The demand in this country seems to be
tending toward a happy medium.

There is always much rivalry among
reunion classes at Smith college as to
which shall have supremacy" says the
Holyoke Transcript. Especially have
the classes of 1901 and 1906 battled for
honors. Because 1901 had a few au-
thOrs, artists and other important folk
it has felt right glorious. But this time
1906 put it all over the earlier class.
Everybody was there for numbers count.
One member of the class after enjoying
her class supper and suffering through
the Brieux play retired to the dormitory
and gave birth to a son. That's re-
union event that 1901 has not yet at
tanned. 1t may be added that 1906 was
somewhat peeved that the baby wasn't
a girl and couldn't be named Sophia
Smith and go to Smith college"
