ity of forming the district. This is
followed by a report from the com
mission. After tills. If the sponsors
of the district wish to proceed, they
file a final petition with the commis
sion asking for the election. The com
mission is required to grant the pe
tition. Districts have power, under the
bill, to borrow money and assume
Indebtedness, but no indebtedness
may bo Incurred or assumed except
for the development or purchase of
utilities as defined In the act. A
utility is defined to mean the plans,
works or other property used for the
development or transmission of water
for domestic or municipal purposes,
for water power and generation of
electric energy. In this connection it
in event of annexation of othen
territory or consolidation with other
districts no debts could be assumed
except those having to do with utility
districts or public utility operation.
This Is a precaution against the as
sumption or irrigation district debts.

' Another bill in line with Governor
' Meier's power program was intro
jduced today by Senator Woodward of
' Multnomah county. It would exempt
. the city of Portland from the neces
sity of applying to federal power
t commission for a license to go upon
j federal land when application Is made
to the state for water appropriation
permits for power purposes. By sus
, pension of the rules the bill was ad
jvanced to second reading and referred
to the committee on railroads and
.utilities.
I If the power site is on federal land
the law now requires that applica
! Hon be made to the federal commis
jslon within six months after applica
tion for the state permit is filed with
the state engineer. In his special
message to the senate yesterday, ac
companying introduction of the
hydro-electric commission and power
! conservation bill, the governor stated
that about 00 per cent of the desir
able power slte3 of the state are on
federal land.
I The Woodward bill applies to cities
'of 300,000 population or more,
i" Senator Bennett of Multnomah
' county today introduced a bill to
change the date of the Oregon pri
mary election. For the year 1932 it
would shift the- primary irom the j
third Friday to the second Tuesday '
in May. All primary elections there- i
after would be held on the second
.Tuesday of September, . - beginning
with the year 1034. Senator Bennett
said that -one purpose of the meas- :
lire was to get oway from, the long !
campaign period which now extends
from spring until the November elec
tion. Should the bill pass it would
be necessary to enact another law
providing for the election of delegates
to the national party conventions.
The delegates are now elected at the
primary elections in presidential
election years. .
