That United States Senator George C. Perkins, will be re-elected by the California State Legislature, which convenes next Tues day, Is considered practically certain by the members of both houses who hava already arrived at the State Capital. While the Democrats Increased their membership somewhat In the November election and In their opposition to Per kins will be supported by a few inde pendent Republicans, the regular Repub lican organisation's forces have an over whelming majority In both branches of the Legislature. The effort that win he mace Dy me Legislature to wipe out the racetracks In California, so far as bookmaklng and pool-selling Is concerned, looms up on the horizon as the bitterest and hardest fight of the session. Both the anti-race track gambling forces and the friends of the "sport of kings" are early on the ground, lobbying for and against the "proposed measure. Among the more important legislation this session will be the enactment of a direct primary law, as authorized by the recent general election; and .the passing of several banking bills pro viding for a safer and better banking system in the state, as recommended by the sDeclal legislative Investigating com mlttee authorized by the last Legisla ture and appointed by the Governor. FORESTRY WORK IS COSTLY Congress N'ot Likely to Increase Appropriation OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ngton. Jan. . Congress is not HKeiy, hla onion- tn Increase the aDoropriatlon for the Forest Service $2,000.00) over what was appropriated last year, notwlthstand lng the plea made by Forester Pinchot. There Is considerable feeling in congress, and especially among Western men, that the Forest Service is branching out too rapidly, and Is fast becoming one of the most expensive bureaus of the Govern ment Then, too. there are a number of Western Senators and Congressmen who are not In sympathy with the forestry policy, and who would like to retard for estry work as much as possible. These two elements will combine this season to hold down the appropriation for the Forest Service. The probabilities are that the appro priation for the .forest service will this year be just about what It was a year ago. The service Is becoming more and more self-sustaining as Its revenues In crease, and this further fact will be urged Justification for not Increasing the 34 rect appropriation for forest patrol and reserve improvements.
