The following resume of the work of the legislature covers the sixth week of the session giving the import ' , ant topics considered by the legisla ture up to Monday morning February twenty-fourth. Salem. Tho legislature was unable to complete Its work within the 40 days legally allowed for a session, which expired at midnight February 21, and found it necessary to hold over this week to clear up the large amount of unfinished business. The members will receive no pay for sessions held after the 40 day period expired. The senata cleared its desks and ' could have finished In the allotted Umo, but tho mass of unfinished busi ness which clogged the wheela In the house rendered It necessary to extend tho session. While there was a large amount of unfinished business to receive atten tion when sessions were resumed Mon day morning, most of it was of minor Importance, about the only matter of general Interest to tho state at large being reconstruction legislation. Tho biggest piece of constructive legislation of the session, the $10,000, 000 road bonding bill, finally ran the gauntlet In both houses and was passed up to tho governor to become a law, Inasmuch as It carried an emergency clauno, when the signature of tho govornor was Attached tho vast fund created to carry out Oregon's progressive road building program could Immediately bo made available. Provision! of $10,000,000 Bond Bill.

The remainder, $2,600,000, Is to he used for the Improvement of other roads. The principal and interest of the bonds are to bo mot by automolille licenses. All bids are to be lot In open competition and county courts or county commissioners can bid on wot It In their counties.

Road Fund Made Elastic. It provldos for making more elastic tho various funds under control of tho highway department and to'lnclude In the state highway fund the various funds horotoforo provided by law. Tho highway commission Is directed to carry out the road progranuno enacted by tlif people In 1917, being ompow cicd to make such local changes In loads as It dooms oxpedlont. In event royalties are claimed for patented pavements, tho commission may pay such royalties directly to tho raimitcu and deal Independently with contractors who In that event shall bid only on tho construction of the road, without including tho cost of any royalties that may bo claimed. Salary Increases Killed In Senate. Tho Bonato upon recommendation of the ways and means committee mor cilossly slaughtered bills designed to i who saw iheir pet salary bills killed. Tho debate at times was bitter and sprinkled with personalities, but the only instance In which the senators did not sustain tho recommendation of the committee was In connection with the bill to- lncrcaso tho Salaries of supreme court Justices to from $4500 to $5260 a year. The only other salary bill to receive favorable consideration was a house bill by Mrs. Thompson, increasing tho salary of the state dairy and food commissioner from $2000 to $3600 a year.

Our Allies in the Near East By Charles-Evans Hughes Probably at no time, in the history of the' world have there been so many fatherless and mother less children as there are today. Tens of thous ands; probably hundreds of thousands in Ar menia, Syria, Caucasus, Persia, Mesopotamia and Palestine art not only without parents, but are without any strong parental government to give them the help and protection which orphan children of other lands enjoy. American Consuls and missionaries cable the American Committee for Relief in the Near East, almost daily regarding the situation. One message from the Russian Caucasus pleads. for the support of 10,000 children at an average expense of two dollars per montli per child Another, from Tiflis reports 40,000 children in one region waiting for an answer' to a previous cablegram requesting help. Reports from other points indicate similar conditions. Among the many -appeals it is possible for this committee to assume responsibility for only the most pressing cases, and it is upon these that the committee would focus the attention of the American peo ple. Splendid help has been rendered the little ones in other Iands,but these in Western Asia are no less human than those who have already been aided by American charity. It is the .duty of Americans, as well as a privilege to respond to this great opportunity and help keep alive the best civilization that Western Asia hes developed. All expenses of administration for this relief , are privately met, so that every dollar sent to the committee is used directly by their agents in purchasing food and supplies for the needy who, according to the best advices and from audited reports, receive the full benefit of the funds sent them. Out of the horror and nightmare through which these people have passed comes the gratify ing word that we can be of assistance; that our efforts will prove availing, and that we tan share with these orphan children the bounty whkh we, as Americans, have enjoyed for years. The work done by this committee has been most unselfish and effective under conditions of great personal sacrifice. May America respond to their appeals.
