Fails In Senate
pIaving the ponies at the oregon

PLAYING the ponies at the Oregon
state fair is not to be a legitimate
snort with the approval Of the
state legislature. The senate last
night by a vote of Is to / voted TO
indefinitely postpone Representa-
tive McF arland's bill which would
have legalized betting on horse

troll of a state racing commission
.of five members to be named by
the governor.
Although the bill was represent
ed as having the backing OF the
state fair board who had requested
its introduction this was disputed
during the consideration of the
measure last night by Senator
staples who declared that three OF
the members OF the board had told
him they were opposed to the Dill.
Staples declared bis unqualified
to any move on the part
of the legislature which would place
the state on record as approving
gambling, especially at the state
fair which was an educational in
stitution, and should be kept free
from such concentrating influ-
ences. The pure bred livestock as
5ociations of oregon, he declared,
had declared their opposition tol

Senator Eddy characterized the
measure as one of the most auda-
,ious pieces of legislation brought

sion.

Compromise On
Bill Is Enacted

BY vote of SO in the affirma-
tive and 16 in the negative, the
house Tuesday afternoon passed
house bill 1896, compromise bill
on the Roosevelt highway. The bill
designates it as a state highway, so
that it can take the benefit of CO.
operative federal aid when such is
available.
Speaker Bean took the floor of the
house to lead in the support of this
measure, urging that under the
provisions of the bill il is not man
datory on the state highway com.
mission to sell any bonds for the
construction of this road under
present conditions; that the So
100000 provided for the Roosevelt
highway is conditioned on federal
action matching this appropriation,
and that the whole effect of the act
is to put the road on the highway
map, making it mandatory on the
commission to proceed with the
making of this highway at such
time as the government provides lts
part in the financial program.

Old Contracts Is
Killed In House

Senator Bells bill, 235, designed
10 legalize the claims of some 81
contract holders in the Tumalo ir-
rlEation project whose contracts
were inyalidated by the expiration
of the time limit prescribed by law,
went down to defeat when II failed
to receive the required constitu
tional majority in the house Tues
day afternoon.
The representative split evenly
on the ballot, the roll call show
ing q in favor and q opposed to
the bill.
Representative Kay led the OPP
position in its fight on the floor,
declaring that the intent of the bill
was simply to reimburse holders of
worthless contracts which became
invalidated at the expiration of the
legal time limit, July 1, 1917, The
bill sought to extend this time linn
1t to January 1, 1921.
Charging that the state entlccd
settlers into the project which lat

Reapportionment Bill
AS Finally Passed
Cuts Valley Counties
of Members

In theinterest of harmony, the
reapportionment bill as passed by
the senate was adopted by the
house late Tuesday afternoon. the
house receding from the amend
ments which it made at midnight
Monday.
Here are the only changes
brought about in redistricting the
legislature: Two new representa-
tives are gained by eastern Oregon
and one by Multnomah county In
detail they are:
Crook, Deschutes, Jefferson
klamath and Lake counties, now
having two representatives have
three.
Grant county, which was part Of
the above large district, is made
joint district with Harney, which
was joint with Malheur. Now Grant
and Harvey have one representa-.
tive under the new law.
Malheur county, heretofore a joint
with Harvey, has one representa-
tive of its own.
Multnomah gains one representa-
tive.
Marion county's representation is
reduced from five to four members;
Linn county's representation is re-
duced from thre to two members;
the joint district of Douglas and
Jackson is abolished.
Tillamook now joined with Yam
hill on one representative. has the
representative alone.
These are very few changes, con-
sidering the trouble that the re-
issue has caused for
the last six weeks. Not a single
change was made in the senate, but
tn senators were like Artemus
Ward. willing to .acrifice all of
their relatives in the house, and
that is why the house was forced |
finally to adopt the senate bill with |
out amendment.

marks at Moser.

1 district and stole a representative
from Sherman. Wheeler and Gill
liam counties and made few other
alterations.
One of the most vigorous oppo-
nents of the bill was Representa-
tive Kubli, who insisted that Multi
nomah was entitled to 81 repre-
sentatives and that the measure
submitted was unjust, unfair and
unreasonable. He intimated that
he would take the matter into the
courts.
Kubli was supported in his con-
tention by Korell and Belknap. Mr..
Pierce of Curry uttered a vehem
ent protest against linking thai
county with Josephine in a sena-
torial district and about this time
the house was full of oratory and
temperament.
Conferees Are Appointed.
After the house passed the bill as
amended, the senate refused to ac-
cept the amendments. A confer
ence committee was appointed, con
sisting of Senators Hare, Dennis
and Farrell and Representatives
Burdick, Gordon and Fletcher.
This conference committee iron
ID out the differences to some eX-
tent and eventually brought in a
harmonious recommendation. The
plan OF Representative Kay to take
4 representative from Washington
md divided this acquisition be-
ween Marion and Linn was side
racked. This would have resulted
in Marion losing only a half rep
"esentative instead of whole rep
~esertative as the final bill provid-
as. It would have given Linn one
half senator and two half repre-
Senator Hare objected. |
as this would have left Washing
on a more populous county, with |
only one senator and two represent
atiyes.
Recommendation Is Accepted.
The conference comimtte reported |
he recommendation that the house |
'ecede from it's amendments. Mr.. |
Kay took the floor and said that
while the bill is willed with discrep-
lncies, he was willing to yield ana |
'ermit the oppositio n to take a
member from Marion county give
to Multnomah, which latter coun-
y is entitled to more. In the in
crest of harmony, he concluded
opponents of reapportionment
you'd accept the recommendation
