RESUME OF WORK (F
STATE LEGISLATURE
Solons of Twenty-Eighth Ses
sion Complete Their Labors
at Salem.
Salem, The 28th biennial session
of the legislature is a matter of his
tory. The closing hours witnessed the
usual confusion and congestion and
in addition there was a deadlock be
tween the house and senate which
threatened to become serious.
The conflict arose over the refusal
of the senate to recede from its
amendment to the Schuebel house
compensation bill. The house refused
to accept the senate amendment re
ducing the membership of the Indus
trial accident commission to one mem
ber anil In retaliation declined to pass
the senate bill conferring upon the
governor or appointing board as the
case may be the power of removal of
appointees at any time and the bills
consolidating the Insurance and cor
poration departments and the high
way and state engineer's offices. The
fight was enlivened by a letter from
Miss Kern Hobbs offering to resign
her place on the Industrial accldeut
commission if the senate would pass
the house bill. An agreement was fin
ally reached whereby each house re
ceded from its position.
1 he agreements failed in one par
ticular. The house did not pass the
bill consolidating the offices of cor
poration and insurance commissioner.
The merger of the highway and state
engineer's offices was accomplished
Prchibition Law Most Important.
What many regard as the most im
portant piece of legislation passed at
this session was the prohibition bill
to make effective the prohibition con
stitutional amendment which will be
come effective January 1 191(5. The
bill permits the Importation from with
out the state of a small quantity of
liquor, makes consignees' receipts pub
lic records and prohibits liquor adver
tising and solicitation of orders.
Next to the prohibition act, the most
important piece of legislation passed
amended the workmen's compensation
act. The amendments provide for sev
eral classifications of risks, change the
rates different industries shall pay
into the fund, reduce the payments of
employes and eliminate the section
which gave the injured workmen the
choice of compensation or an action
at law.
Tax Measures Passed.
Two tax measures of importance
have been passed. One is the bing
ham bill which places a limit on the
amount of revenue that may be raised
in any one year. The other tax law
divides the tax payments into two in
stallments. If the first half is not paid
Dy April 5 it araws Interest at 1 per
eent a month. A penalty on unpaid
taxes does not attach until November
5, when 5 per cent is added.
The public accountancy department
has been eliminated.
Election Laws Amended.
The election laws have been amend
ed in important particulars. A meth
od for permanent registration has been
provided. A fee system for nominat
ing candidates which will make the
paid name solicitors unnecessary, but
still available, ba3 been adopted. II y
the terms of the latter bill the aspir
ant for nomination pays his money
I into the 3tate, county anil city treas
ury instead petition peddlers.
Another election law restores the
full franchise to the voters in election
of delegates to national conventions
and eliminates the payment of dele
gates' expenses out of the public treas
ury. Special Election Ordered If Needed.
A special election to be held on the
first Tuesday after the first Monday
In November for the purpose of con
sidering measures enacted by the re
cent legislative sessions was passed.
The bill docs not provide for an elec
tion unless the referendum is Invoked
against any of the measures passed
by this session.
Friends of the prohibition measure
were particularly interested to have
the bill passed, as they fear a referen
dum will be applied.
Most of the members of the legisla
ture regard the session as having been
successful, particularly In the matter
of economy. The appropriations for
the session will total about $6,500,000,
or about $1,500,000 less than those of
the preceding session.
Legislatori Joyful on Adjournment.
Fun and good fellowship reigned su
preme in the halls of the capitol Sun
day morning, following adjournment
by the two houses. The house ad
journed precisely at 2 minutes after 7,
but the senate was in session an hour
longer.
Members of the house were joyful
after they had cleaned up their work,
Led by Representatives Littlefield,
Olds, Stewart and Gill they gathered
j bout Miss Towno's desk and sang a
series of popular and patriotic songs.
While the house members were in
the midst of their singing someone
suggested: "Let's go over and sere
nade the senate."
The idea proved popular. The whole
party, consisting of nearly 40 mem
bers, marched around the rotunda and
straight through the doors of the sen
ate chamber, where the sleepy-eyed
senators were awakened by the strains
of "Auld Lang Syne."
The senators, led by Senator Day,
gathered around Miss Towns and gave
nor uiree nurrahs and a "tiger."
The house members returned the
compliment to Miss Clarke; the only
woman senator.
With few minor ommlsaloni the
following is a list of the Important
