OREGON LAWMAKERS'

Initial Week is Remarkable for
Work Accomplished.
225 BILLS ARE INTRODUCED

Salem. The first wwk'i session, of
the 27th legislative assembly was re
markable for the prompt manner in
which the lawmakers got down to ac
tual work and the great amount of
business accomplished Is In strong
contrast to the time-marking proceed'
ings of previous sessions. In the past
the first week has been frittered away
with nothing accomplished aside from
organisation.
The presiding officers were practl
call? selected In advance, and the vote
on C N. McArthur for speaker of the
bouse and Dan Malarkey for president
of the senate was a mere formality
that took up little time. Both presid
ing officers promptly announced their
committees and the business of legis
lation began the first day of the ses
sion, something heretofore unheard of.
For the first time in the history of
Oregon legislatures bills were intro
duced on the first day of the session
and for the first time a bill was passed
during the first week of the session.
In the house 150 bills have been in
troduced the first week as compared
with' SO bills at the preceding session,
and in the senate 75 bills have been
Introduced as against SS bills last ses
sion a total of 225 bills.
No bills passed the house the first
week last session and none the senate.
Four bills passed the house this week
and one the senate. The house al
ready has begun the consideration of
senate bills and the senate of house
bills. Last session the house did not
reach the consideration of senate bills
on til the third week.
Senate Overrides Several Vetoes
The senate is ahead of the house on
the vetoed measures of the last ses
sion, having acted on all of the bills
originating in that body, and only one
remains to be finally passed on. The
bonse has acted on only a few of Its
vetoed bills.
In overruling the governor, the
members as a rule showed independ
ence, exhibiting neither a friendly nor
unfriendly spirit The presiding offi
cers, who nave the situation well in
band, assert that In their opinion there
will be no effort on the part of this
legislative assembly to punish West
for his past activities in the legislative
domain, while on the other hand he
will receive the consideration due his
office if he does not attempt any en
croachments. ' Appropriation Bills Large
Appropriation bills making demands
on the state treasury of $1,078,700
have been introduced. This is a re
cord breaker, as it is the first time
that appropriation bills have ever been
introduced during the first week.
It seems to be a pretty well settled
fact that the appropriation for Panama-Pacific
Exposition will not get past
the $250,000 mark at the outside, al
though some of the members are
boosting for $300,000. A great number
of them have settled on $200,000 as
the proper figures, while others are
even anxious to go lower than that
Measures Passed Over Veto.
The measures passed over veto of
governor in the senate were:
Forbidding spending where there is
bo available appropriation. Creating
emergency board in time of need when
deficiency exists. Providing livestock
board; abolishing sheep inspector,
state and county veterinarians. Meth
od for dividing counties. Providing
fish hatchery at Spring Creek. In
creasing district attorney's salary In
Fifth Judicial district.
The vetoes suBtained. In the house
were:
A measure providing for second
choice in primary elections. A meas
ure modifying law with regard to di
verting funds from ordained use.
May Abolish Purchasing Board.
The appropriation of $15,000 for the
biennial period, which has been intro
duced in connection with McArthur'
bill establishing a state board of con
trol, is really a substitute appropria
tion for a similar amount which is
carried In the state purchasing board
appropriation bill, which was passed
two years ago. In event the McArthur
bill goes through it will virtually do
away with the state purchasing board
by placing the duties of that board
with the state board of control. .
The appropriation of $3000 a year
which is carried for the salary of the
governor's secretary is practically a
duplicate of the present cost to the
state for that office. Now he acts as
clerk of several boards of the various
institutions. In event the board of
control bill goes through these duties
would he taken from him and hit sal
ary dropped to $1200 a year.
While numerous acts for the repeat
In of laws which provide for futWlc
offices and commissions have been In
troduced, at the some time, for the
first week of a session. It Is fairly well
holding Its own as to bills creating
new public office.
One bill creating the Accident In
dustrial commission provides for three
cotnmlastoners.each to receive a salary
of SS00 a year, thus carrying prmis
ion in this bill for salaries alone of
JIO.SOO a year, or $21,000 for a biennial
rerlod.
Another bill, which create a chair
of logging engineering at the Oreiton
agricultural college, carries with it an
appropriation of $65,000.
A bill has also been Introduced to
provide for the examination of rural
credits in European countries which
carries an appropriation for the ex
penses of the Investigators.
The bill providing for a Bureau of
Mines and Geology Is practically creat
ing a new bureau, although there Is a
Purest! of Mines at the Oregon agri
cultural college which will be done
away with if this bill passes.
The bill creating a state board of
control really creates no new board.
but does away with a number of old
ones and centralises and expands
somewhat the duties of the present
state board, which Is made up of the
governor, secretary of state and state
treasurer.
Interstate Bridge Wins First Round
Multnomah won the first round in
Its battle for legislative consideration
of an Interstate bridge between Wash
ington and Oregon over the Columbia
river, when the- senate Indorsed a
house resolution providing for a com
mittee to meet with the Washington
legislature.
The resolution provides that a com
mittee of two from the senate and
three from the house shall meet with
like committee from the Washing
ton legislature to confer on the ques
tion of the advisability of the bridge
and the ways and means to secure the
desired result
Invited to View Hill's Good Roads
Governor West and all the members
of the legislature were Invited by Sam
uel Hill to be his guests at his expense
on a visit to MaryntU, Vtash., to In
spect his seven varieties of good roads.
It Is thought favorable action will
be taken, as the time set for the visit
Is either a Saturday or Sunday, when
the work of the session will not likely
be seriously affected. The legislature
Is given the choice of two dates, Sat
urday, February S, or Sunday, Febru
ary 9.
Changes in Oregon System Proposed
The Initiative and referendum and
the corrupt practice! act are being
made In prospect the subject of nu
merous amendatory acts at the pres
ent session, but according to indica
tions the majority of the amendments
to these acts which have already been
proposed will meet with scant favor
from the committees to which they
have been referred.
Among the acts is one that provides
hat no more than two constitutional
amendments nor five general laws
shall be submitted to the people at any
one election. Another bill proposes
that after an Initiative bill has receiv
ed so many adverse votes it shall not
go on the ballot again for a period of
six years.
The corrupt practices act Is also the
subject of a large number of bills
which propose amendatory clauses.
Check on Campaign Expense Is Urged
With the view of confining the ex
penditure of money, either In behalf
or against any Initiative measure, to
the publicity pamphlets and newspa
per advertising, Representative Ulan-
chard, of Josephine, Introduced a bill
In the house which, If passed, will
revolutionize proceedings with rela
tion to initiating measures and wag
ing campaigns with relation to them.
The bill, in brief, provides that it
shall be unlawful for anyone to expend
money In promoting a measure or de
feating it, save in arguments In the
publicity pamphletB and In the news-"
papers. ThiB cuts off all distribution
of private literature, and also all other
rnca-s of expenditures.
Board of Control for Institutions
A bill introduced in the house by
Speaker McArthur provides for a state
board of control to take over the man
agement and affairs of 11 state Insti
tutions, some of which now have sep
arate governi js boards.
The institutions included are the
Oreson state hospital, the Eastern
Oregon state hospital, the state Insti
tution for feeble minded, the Oregon
s'.ate training school, the Oregon state
penitentiary, the Oregon state school
for the blind, the Oregon state school
for the deaf, the Oregon tuberculosis
hospital, the Oregon state soldiers'
home and the capltol and supreme
court buildings.
The board of control as provided for
'a the bill Is to consist of the gover
nor, the secretary of state and the
Btat3 treasurer. The board Is to meet
on the first Monday of each , month,
and all its meetings are to be open to
the public. It shall be the duty of the
members of the board under the law
to visit each institution, with the ex
ception of the Eastern Oregon state
hospital and the Oregon state soldiers'
home at least once in every three
nonths, and to visit these Institutions
it least onee every year.

GARMENT WORKERS REBEL
Not More Than Half Of Walat Maker
Will Obey Orders
New York. An announced settle
ment of the strike In the dress and
shirtwaist branch of the garment-making
Industry, promising to send 37.000
operative back to work, was followed
almost at once by rebellion among em
ployee affected against the terms their
leader had agreed upon with the man
ufacturer. Two meetings to ratify the agree
ment between the manufacturers and
the leader of the dress and shirtwaist
branches of the garment-making In
dustry, by which the striker are to
return to work, were held Sunday. At
both there seemed to be only a half
hearted acquiescence by the worker
in the plana of their leaders. The
protocol affects 129 shops and close
to 30,000 operative. It la expected,
however, that, only about half the
operatives will return. Even If all go
back, it would leave more than 100.000
worker still on strike In other
branches of the garment trades.
Large Packer In Combine Alleged
Jefferson City, Mo. An agreement
tending to fix prices and to "lessen,
restrict and destroy free competition"
exists between the big packing com
panies of the country, according to an
opinion filed with the state supreme
court by Special Commissioner Daniel
Dillon.

WILSON FROWNS ON
INAUGURAL BALL
Trenton, N. J. President-elect Wil
son favors the abolishment of the In
augural ball. This became Jinown
when he sent a letter to William Cor
coran Eustls, chairman of the Inau
guration committee, asking him to
consider the feasibility of omitting it
Mr. Wilson wrote:
"After taking counsel with a great
many persons and canvassing as well
as I could general opinion In the mat
ter, I have come to the conclusion that
it is my duty to ask you to eonsldei
the feasibility of omitting the Inaugu
ral ball altogether."
He declined to say what ceremony
he wodld favor as a substitute for the
Inaugural ball. A popular reception
at the capltol bad been suggested.
Washington. "There will be no In
augural ball." said William C. Rustle,
chairman of the Inaugural committee,
after an Informal conference with se"
eral members over PreBident-elect Wil
son's letter requesting that the com
mittee consider the feasibility of omit
ting the function.
"The wishes of President-elect Wil
son will be complied with," said Eu
stis. The committee may decide to
