. Salem, Jan. .'!?;. The senutoriul
question being disposed of, both
houses bare settled down to a grind
of routine work, a number of bills
have been passed and the various
committees are actively engaged on
many others. The third week bldB
fair to be as busy aa tne seconu aim
much work will no doubt be accomplished.
There is a possibility that an
amendment annulling the Statement
No. 1 feature of the direct primary
law will be considered favorably by
both houses of the legislature at the
present session. Such a bill whs in
troduced in the house by Representa
tives Bean, of Lane, and Brooke, of
Malheur, Jointly.
This bill In Its provisions is de
cidedly anti-statement It in likes ii
a misdemeanor for any candidate
for any olflce to make any pledge
which Is contrary to the constitution
of the United States, or of the state
of Oregon, or in violation of the
oath of olllce to support the consti
tution, or any agreement not to per
form a duty Imposed by the consti
tution, There is a strong sentiment among
the members of the house for the
passage of such an amendment to
the direct primary law.
If this bill passes the house, its
chances in the senate are considered
equally good. The only stumbling
block in sight is the practical cer
tainty of Its veto by Governor Cham
berlain, who owes his election ns
United States senator to the enforce
ment of Statement One pledges. Nat
urally it Is to be expected that ho
will look with disfavor on any at
tempt to annul the very system that
brought about hiB own election.
May Kemove State Fair and Capltol
Every two years there Is enough
talk of removing the capltol to send
chills up and down the spine of the
Mnrion county delegation. Uusually
the project never gets beyond the
conversation stage, but this year the
movement is more in earnest, al
though It Is very iniprobnblo any
thing will come of the proposal to
removo the state capltol.
There Is a possibility, though, that
a determined effort" will be made to
transfer the slate fair to Portland.
Those who would take the fair to
Portland, In addition to presenting
the argument that Portland properly
is the place for that Institution, point
to the fact that the grounds of the
Country Fair Association are admir
ably suited as a permanent home for
the state fair Of recent years it is
a matter of knowledge that the ac
commodations of the grounds now
used In Salem for the state fair are
Inadequate.
If the institution is to be kept in
Salem more buildings and an in
creased appropriation for mainten
ance will be required. It is for this
reason that those advocating the re
moval of the fair to Portland insist
that this is the time to take the Ini
tiative to bring that about.
While the bill has not been Intro
duced. a measure will be presented
at this session for a branch Insane
asylum to be located In Eastern
Oregon. Both Baker and Umatilla
counties are rivals for this Institu
tion and conferences between the
delegations from the two counties
have failed to effect a satisfactory
setlement of the controversy as to
which county will give In. This bill
Is certain to furnish the subject for
one of the hardest fights In the pres
ent session.
Would Rc-Apportlon State.
There are several measures al
ready Introduced and contemplated
which have the purpose of reappor
tioning the state Into senatorial ana
rsnresentatlve districts. It Is very
difficult to work out a system of pro-
nortlnnal representation, which will
onver all aubiects and carry out the
intention of the voters who adopted duced u 1)111 f
the constitutional amendment last , quiring mat ne:
exceptions, they are still si imlr'rlng.
The two exceptions were those pro
viding for a joint committee to In
vestigate the records of the Oregon
commission to the Alaska-Yuknn-Paclflc
Imposition and that providing
for a committee to confer with a
similar representation from the
Washington legislature regarding
unlnform Ashing laws.
The two houses have provided for
a Joint committee with Instructions
to devise and report nt this session
a practical plan for a permanent sys
tem for auditing the booka and ac
counts of the state institutions and
commissions.
To Protect Travelers.
The nlne.foot bed sheet bill, In
troduced by Kellaher, of Multnomah,
passed the senate. The bill wus
treated as a Joke by Borne, but most
of those who discussed it treated it
seriously, arguing that Zong sheets
were necessary for the ptotoctlon of
the health of the traveling public.
1, tuaa nvnlfitnuri thut hotels find
lodging-houseB seldom washed their I
blankets and comforters, so that if
the patron was to be protected from
Infectious diseases the sheets must
be long enough to fold down over the
envern at the ton.
Ronnlni, TTellnhar'n fl in-aun ..n 1,111 I
applying to all hotels and lodging-'
houses, passed the senute. It re
quires that all hotels of more than
one story In height be provided with
rope securely anchored near u win
dow and that the rope be knotted
every 12 Inches. This will provide
means by which lodgers may escape
in case of fire. Buildings of more
than one story must have Iron tire
escapes.

has asked the legislature to arrange
for the publication of a small pam
phlet on the resources of Oregon,
giving authentic Information regard
ing all portions of the state, wlil-h
pamphlet may be mulled to people In
the East who write for Information.
At present there is no public docu
ment which the state officers can
Bend In answer to such Inquiries. The
secretary's idea Is thut thu pamphlet
should contain nforniatlon furnislfd
by the several counties edited to see
that It Is correct, and that each coun
ty be assigned the snme amount of
space In the pamphlet.
No Liquor for Dry Counties.
Importation of liquor Into dry
counties Is prohibited by tho terms
of a bill introduced In the house by
Representative Oavls, of Multnomah.
This Is the first measure treating
with the local option question that
has made its appearance at this ses
sion
ThlB bill proposes to prohibit the
transportation or shipment of Intoxi
cating liquors into any county or pre
cinct of the state while the sale of
such Intoxicating liquor is prohibited
In any such county or precinct.
Life Term for Highway Itobbery.
Representative Dlninilck's high
way robbery bill, which passed the
house, provides a penalty of from 10
yeurs to life imprisonment Tor pri
sons convicted of highway robbery
being armed with a deadly weapon
The present penally Is from five to
20 years' Imprisonment. The amend
ed bill leaves the quesiion of wheth
er or not the sentence shall lie for
life at the discretion of the trial
Judge. Unarmed persons convicted
of highway robbery may bo sen
tenced from three to 15. years In the
state penitentiary.
Ctuinges in Railroad Laws.
Only minor changes of the rail
road law are asked by the railroad
eommlBslnn. Three of Its bills have
appeared In the house. It will ask
for two additional bills one for
compulsory fencing of railroad right-of-way:
another to authorize the
commission to employ experts for
determining value of operating sys
tems and admitting such findings us
prima-facte evidence.
Celebrate State's Anniversary.
Committees from the house ami
the senate have been named to co
operate with the Oregon Historical

nnniversnry of Oregon's admission to
the Union. These exercises will be
held In the house of representatives
ai Salem, nt 4 p. m. Monday. Feb
ruary IS. The details of the pro
posed programme of exercises have
been left to a joint committee.

.The politicians are deeply Interest
ed In Senator Selling's bill for pro
portional representation. It Is a
measure which affects every Republi
can, Democrat, Socialist and Prohi
bitionist, for under Its provisions
every party will have some represen
tation In the legislature.
Selling contends that it is desir
able that a law for proportional rep
resentation should be made at this
session, because the constitutional
amendment adopted last June Is now
effective and hereafter an elector can
vote for more than one candidate for
representative or senator in tb leg
