LEGISLATURE
MOVES IN TO
LONG GRIND
(Continued form Pago One)
new executive, following the address
of the outgoing executive, A. W. Nor
blad. Meier's address to the legisla
ture, which he read in a little more
than one hour's time, was the key
note of the administration's program,
and contained recommendations for
departmental remedies and legislation
from the abolition of the public ser
vice commission through to a stand
ardized expenditure system. Measures
embodying some of these suggestions,
It has been reported, will be Intro
duced within tho next few weeks.
The three bills, Introduced in the
senate the opening day, In addition
to the Bennett emergency bill pro
viding for the filling of vacancies In
the legislature, included one for the
closing of the Rogue river to com
mercial fishing, and another endors
ing Roseburg as the site of the na
tional soldier's home for the western
division.
Senator Bennett's bill providing for
the filling of vacancies in tho legisla
ture through appointment by the
governor. Intended as a permanent
measure as well as to meet the emer
gency, will bo amended to apply only
to tho present emergency. This was
the decision of a special committee
of five senators to whom the measure
was referred when the bill was in
troduced yesterday.
Confirmation Required.
The measure provides that the gov
ernor's appointment must be con
firmed by the house in which the
Northwest Admiral
Rear Admiral E. H. Campbell has work to determine what kind of a
been appointed commandant of the foundation the continents of the

vacancy occurs. The amendment will
Include a provision that tho members
appointed shall servo until the
next special or regular election.''
Endorsement by the legislature of
the city of Roseburg as the location
for a Pacific Northwest branch of the
national soldiers' home is proposed in
a senate concurrent resolution - in
troduced by Senator Eddy and Repre
sentative Fisher of Douglas county.
A: accompanying bill. Introduced by
Eddy, provides authority to incorpor
ated cities and towns to acquire
property by condemnation for the lo
cation of soldiers' homes.
The question of commercial fish
ing In. the Rogue was brought up In
a bill Introduced by the Josephine
and Jackson county delegations to
prohibit commercial fishing In that
stream.
To File Textbook Bill.
A free textbook bill, making It
mandatory upon school districts in
Oregon to provide books for all pupils
in the public schools, will be Intro
duced by Senator J. O, Bailey of
Multnomah county. All free text
book bills introduced at previous ses
sions have made application of the
proposed act optional lth the dis
tricts. At present some districts in the
state furnish books for children of
poor families, but this is objected to
for the reason that it Is humiliating
to the beneficiaries of tne system.
The Portland school district ts said to
expend 5000 or $6000 a year in this
way.
Tho printing of textbooks by the
state has been under investigation
during the last two years by an in
terim committee and an adverse re
port will be made to the legislature.
This has no relation to the free text
book move.
Joint Memorial Adopted.
A senate Joint memorial, calling
upon congress to hasten the passage
of the pending bill for construction
of the Umatilla rapids project, was
Introduced in the state senate todoy
by Senator Kiddle and was Immed
iately adopted under suspension of
the rules. The memorial is In re
sponse to a request in the message
of Governor Meier, who is president
of the Umatilla Rapids association.
If adopted a copy of the memorial
will go to each member of tho Ore
gon delegation, to the chairmen of
the house and senate committees on
Irrigation and reclamation, to the
secretary of the Interior and to the
reclamation commissioner.
Many of the "so-called"- portraits
of past governors hanging on the
walls of the state capltol are "hollow
daubs," purchased blannually by the
state at $600 each, Senator W. F.
Woodward, ; of Multnomah county,
told the senate today. Ho was com
menting on a resolution that was In
troduced providing for one senator
and two representatives to arrange
for a port t of the late Governor
Patterson.
"If we are to have these portraits,"
Woodward continued, "let's have
them a little more approaching the
semblance of art."
Receipt of a Wisconsin joint reso
lution to memorialize congress to call
constitutional convention on the
18th amendment, was announced in
the house of representatives here to
day. The matter .was referred with
out comment to the resolutions com

With development ln the fullest
desirable degree of cheap hydro-elec-

Oregon has no single body whose
duty it is to bring to Justice those
who commit offense against the laws
of the state.
The best law badly administered is
worse than none.
I earnestly urge the legislature to
curtail, so far as possible, the volume
of legislation enacted.
Broadly speaking, wo have too
much legislation, too many statutory
rules of human conduct which are
either forgotten or disregarded.
Laws which are not to be enforced
should be repealed. Laws which re
main ln the statute books should be
vigorously and fearlessly enforced.
. The poor house should be abolished
forever.
The most important business of
the state is the training and educa
tion of our children. Education
should bo free to everyone as free
as the air we breath.
The flBh and gamo resources are
the'Common-property of the people
and 1 their protection and propnga-
i tion are oi tne utmost importance.
ln my opinion, tho non-partisan
Judiciary Is essential to a better ad

) Is not the function of any court to
' adopt or enforce party -principles,
I I firmly believe whenever any of
Iflclal accepts public office he im
pliedly contracts with the public to
discharge Its duties at the salary
i fixed.
I favor a continuance of our high
way program along practical and
sound lines, with liberal considera
tion for our present unemployment

a crisis. It 1b meeting the demand
and must continue to do so during
the remainder of the winter.
"The dl una tor reserve of the Red

the experienced directors of the Red

due to months of press reports of
its progress, should not blind us to
tho fact that it Is an acute emer

toward our fellow countrymen who
aro in actual want and ln many cases
will lack tho bare necessities of life
unless they are provided for.

j countrymen may bo prevented. ;

t confidence that ln tho face of this j
I great Humanitarian need your re
