Appropriations Havt Light Week
Appropriation requests made during
the third week of the leglalullva ses
sion rem lied n total of $1147,415. by
far the lightest week so far. This
bring tho total of request up to $4,
10C.2G3, and not a general appropria
tion bill even In sight. This make It
certain that the amount of tho re
quests will go well up to tho $i),00n,.
WO mark.
This week will tell the story as to
what anxious taxpayers may ex poet In
regard to appropriations. It should
be remembered. In this regard, that
many appropriation measures are du
plicated In senate nnd housu mid that
many bills Intended to assist in emp
tying the state coffer will be killed.
The sum total, in any event, must be
larger than it was nt the last session
on account of the money which should
be expendod in ndoquntoly advertising
the resources of Oregon nt tho Pana
ma -Pacific Exposition nnd at the San
Diego Kxposltlon nnd also for a com-
prehenslve system of building and
malntiilnlng hlghwuys.

appeared In the legislature. Only the

It will bo a fight wti Indicated by the

Identical, but these two diametrically
opnsed to tho third. One, introduced
by Abbott, ia to repeal the flat salary
law of 1911, which Is due to become

sections of the 1911 flat salary law are

will mean the cnlllng of a joint con
ference committee to act on the Bar

Orange bill. While both are county
bonding acts they are by no means
Identical.

Just when the veto bills of the gov
ernor that have been passed by the
constitutional two-thirds majority of
both house go Into effect I ques
tion thnt ha arisen in the light of tho
fact that a number of the governor's
vetoed bills bave gone over hla head.
It also develops the point a to
whether the vetoed bills, which bave
been panned notwithstanding the veto
of the governor, are subject to a ref
erendum of the people.
The members of the senate judici
ary committee have reached a com lu
lou that the vetoed bills do not be
come law until 90 day after ad

and are subject to a referendum of
the people If such ia desired. j

on the additional entry, the etl
ect being to allow the entryman
to make final proof on both at the
same time.
Representative Mondell, author
of the enlarged homestead law,
fully intended that the original
act should so declare, and still
contends that it does by any
reasonable construction of its
language. Assistant Secretary
Adams, however, declined to take
this view of the Mondell act, aud
the result was that settlers who
attempted, to make proof on both
entries were put to the additional
expense tof a second proof ou
their second entries, and in some
cases compelled to wait two years
or more before such proof could
be offered. The first case ap
pealed was that of John Day,
and since this deoision Western
members have been flooded with
demands for relief. The action
of the House indicates the early
enactment of the necessary re
medial legislation.
