PORT ORFORD POST ■ ¡ ¡ 'b volume w CATTLE DIE IN BARN FIRE ON Statehouse, Salem, March In the wee sraa’ hours of Sunday morning, 3:01 to be exact, the speaker’s gavel banged down a si ne die adjournment ending the 41st legislative assembly. The law makers had been going since 9:30 Saturday morning. With the ex ception of two short recesses for lunch and dinner, they were in continuous session for 17 ta hours, which is a real day’s work. Many bills were passed during the last few hours of the session while many of the solons were snoozing or too tired to know what it was all about. Scores of bills were killed by letting them stay in committee and many others met the same fate by the well known “lay on the table” motion. The lawmakers spent many hours of the last day and night on two bills, the 2-cent a package cigaret tax, which Just did get by, and the Burke wine bill, that went down to defeat by a close vote in the closing hours of the session. There is still Borne question among the legal minds as to the validity of the cigaret tax bill, inasmuch as the title of the bill is under ques tion, which would rule it void if such is the case. Then, on the other hand, it is believed the gov ernor will veto the bill. Consider able pressure is being brought to bear on Mr. Sprague by the tobac co manufacturers to do just that.
