Hot Times at Olympia.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Jan. 26. This
morning's session of the senate was
featured by two of the hottest dis
putes yet witnessed in a legislature
of this state. The trouble started
when Senator Alex Polsen, of Che
halls, introduced a resolution that
! the senate appoint a committee to
act with a similar committee of the
house to investigate the supreme
court members, state officers and all
members of the legislature In re
gard to their Integrity. This Is the
outcome of the Root-Gordon Investi

was passed expurging all discussion

CANADA'S IMMENSE
GOLD PRODUCTION.
OTTAWA, Ont.. Jan. 25. One of
the most Important and interesting
departmental reports ever issued
from the government office is that
which has just appeared from the
Department of Mines. The statistical
part of the report shows In the ag
gregate a mineral production tor all
Canada valued at $86,138,000 In
1907, as compared with only a little
over $20,000,000 12 years ago.
In that portion of the report de
voted to the Yukon It is stated that
the total produotlon of gold in that
territory from 1895 to 1907 was
$122,951,000. The Immense possi
bilities of the coal-bearing areas of
Alberta and Saskatchewan are en
larged upon, and It Is pointed out
that the extensive amount of railroad
construction under way must result
In great Increase in the production
of steam coal. . .
Twenty years ago the total valuo
of the mineral production of Canada
was not more than $10,000,000 a
year. Today it is over $100,000,000
and Is Increasing rapidly.

pJVEElXN TREATING PEOPLE SQUARE
Special to the Evening Review.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 26. Governor
Chamberlain today sent to the legis
lature a special message advising im
mediate enactment of un emergency
tax law to take tho place of the act
declared by the Supreme court to be
unconstitutional. The message was
referred to the committee on assess
ment and taxation, which will report
a bill legalizing the present levies. In
his message, the governor says .that
In his opinion it would be necessary
for the legislature to frame and pass
a bill either making a levy or author
izing the State Board of Apportion
ment to make a levy for the year
1909. "This levy would necessarily
be upon the vuluatlonB as they now
stand upon the assessment rolls,"
shld the governor. "For there can
be no equalization this year, and
the legislature must assume that the
assessors have done their duty In
making assessments. Provision can
then be made for an equalization of
taxes for future years."
The bill to be recommended by the
assessment and taxation committee
will be virtually a recast of the old
tax apportionment law. In force up
to 1901, when the lnvnlld fixed-ratio
method was enacted. It will apply
to taxes collected this year on 1908
valuations. For next and subsequent
yenrs the legislature will provide
some method of equalizing county
valuations, probably through a board.
To Amend Local Option Act,
Representative Bonebruke, of Ben
