Huli-in. The (rglHlsttcre began the third w-i'k of th veinluu with all the Lis; (.'tiiiHirnt'tlve It-gltUiitlvn yt-t to re culve attention. In (set, aside from Representative Anderson's im-ssure to make effective the "bone dry" con stitutional ainfmlnifut adopted at the .November fieri km only one or two vtUvr bills of aii treat Importance to U slats at laritfl hsd been introduced. A lien the IvKlslature adjourned last Krblay in urdor to permit members to visit the aKrlctiltnrai' colU'tie at Cor vallls HHtnriUv. ni "third of the 40 day Lull Yfilrli tin' !iw sets oo the session had expired and leaders ap preciate) thst It will be necessary to fet dowa to business, this week If the usual rush is to be avoided during the cIosIuk days of the session. During the second week of the ses sion the volume of bills Introduced was largor than during the first week ad If the bills dropped Into the legis lative hopper continue at the present rate the proposed legislation will be almost as great aa It wm two years go. The senate adjourned with 119 bills on the calendar, compared with S at the same time. In 1915 and the house had 17( compared with 206. Pour measures passed both houses, two of which received the signature of the governor. The aenate sent six teen other bills over, to the bouse for action and the house, seut twenty-two more bills to the senate. First Bill Signed Is tor Expense. The first bill to pass both houses nd receive the slKnature of the gov ernor was an appropriation of $25,000 to defray the expenses of the legisla ture Itself. Thlc Is only a starter and several more bills relating to the ex penses are likely to follow. The total expenses for the 1915 session ran up to $fiS.4103 and It Is hoped the ex penses of the present session will keep within thst figure. Appropriations aggregating $424, 787.60 have been Introduced. The budget of the state game and fish com mission came In with an addition of $89,600 and miscellaneous claims which have been filed make grand total of $620,976.56 which has been asked of the legislature during the first two weeks. Inasmuch as the leg islature faced a budget of $715,382.09 In excess of the 6 per cent limitation amendment when It convened It finds Itself at the close of the second week with total sum of $1,194,830.15 which It must cut out to keep within the con stitutional requirements. Must Make Rural Credits Effective. One of the Important tasks before the present session Is to enact a law making effective the rural credits amendment to the state constitution adopted at the lust election. Senator Shanks of Wheeler county has sought to meet the aituatton by Introducing a bill creating two new offices and au expensive system of administering the rural credits fund. His bill already has become more or less of a storm center and has engen dered a controversy between Senator Shanks and State Treasurer Kay. A bill representing the views of the state land' board and the organizations which Initiated the rural credits amendment will be ready for Intro duction tills week. An effort will be made at this ses sion to work out an effective plan to consolidate state offices and depart ments. Both houses tackled the prob lem laBt week. The senate desired to have a Joint committee of both houses handle all consolidation bills, but the house rejected a senate resolution fa voring that plan; so each house will have a oommlttee to pass upon con solidation bills. First Consolidation Measure Loses. The first of the consolidation meas ures to come to a vote in either house provided for a new state board of edu cation of three members and a paid secretary at $1800 a year. In this board were to be combined the state board of textbook commissioners, the board of higher curricula and the board of regents, respectively, of the University of Oregon, Oregon agricul tural college and state normal schools. The senate committee on education, ' returned unanimously a recommenda tion that It be Indefinitely postponed. The senate adopted the report. Creation of a state department of agriculture under which would be con solidated several state boards and of ficers now operating separately Is pro vided in a measure introduced Into the state house of representatives by Representative Vernon A. Forbes ot CROOK COUNTY JOURNAL Bend. The departments consolidated would t .the fair directors, live stock sanl- ' tary board, stallion registration board, board .of horticulture, dairy and food commissioner and deputy wmier 4,j wHgbM and measures. ! The new department would be 4lvld- : d Itite five divisions live stork, tor- j tlrultore, agriculture, fairs, grain and : bay and dairies and pure food. A com- 1 tnlssloner would head the department , nd director manage each division. t Hearing s "Bone Dry" Bill. The "bone dry" bill Introduced In ' the house lat week by Representative Anderson started on Us way through 1 the legislative will Monday evening when the joint senate and house com- j mlttee on alcoholic traffic gave whole- ! sale grocers, food manufacturers and other Interested parlies an opportun- 1 ity to he heard on the provisions reg- , ulatlug the use of alcohol. As drafted the measure prohibits Ibe Importation of liquor Into the state 1 by any person by any means for any , purpose other than medicinal, sclen tlfk; or sacramental. It carries an : emergency clause designed to make j It effective Immediately upon its pas- ; sage and as soon thereafter as the ; governor has signed the bill. The ' bill does not contain the "search and ! seizure" clause, which has been so I much talked of during the last tew months. i Would Punish Drunken Chauffeurs. ' Without a dissenting vote the sen ate passed the bill which makes It a crime for a person to drive a motor i vehicle while under the influence of , , liquor; prescribes a penitentiary sen . teuce or Jail fur the person who, while I Intoxicated, drives an auto In a care- j t less or negligent manner, and causes ' I the death or serious Injury of another j person; prescribes a fine or $10 a day I for any person who shall knowingly I , employ as chauffeur a person addicted ! to drunkenness. Tax Notice Via Postcard la Lost j The bill to abolish publication of de- I Unguent tax notices and substitute a system of postal card notices was un- 4 anlmously disapproved by the senate1) committee on assessment and taxa tion following a public hearing at ) which the dangers of the measure : were vividly brought out. It was the feeling of the committee that even In this Multnomah county measure It would nut he wise to adopt the postcard system. Informal discus sion among the committee members i revealed the decided opinion that a i postcard system of notices is so In- ! adequute, aud Involves such danger J to titles, that some provision ought to ! be mnde for publication of the dellnj1 qilflll tax lint. Contention Over Care of Dependents. The Uowman bill providing for the care and control of delinquent and de fective children went back to commit tee for further consideration after It bad come on third reading for final passage. Since It came back into the house from the committee ou health ami public morals, it has become a storm center of contention. One point urged against tbe meas ure as introduced aud favored by the committee, is that while it withdraws state aid from sectarian institutions which now handle these children, It makes no money provision for their care under state supervision. Woman Member Offers Bill. Mrs. Thompson, the only woman member, Introduced her first bill, a measure which would compel the com mitment of patients to the Institution for the feeble minded. Any county Judge may, under this measure, cause a feeble-minded child to be brought before him and conduct an examina tion. One or more competent physi cians are to constitute the examining board. The relatives of a person adjudged feeble minded can have the privilege of appealing. Other states have similar laws. Legislative Brevities. Service on jurors by registered mail is provided for by a house bilO Intro duced by Stafrln, of Polk. A memorial to President Wilson asking a speedy return of the Oregon troops on the border was adopted. Resolutions of sympathy over the death of Admiral Dewey were unani mously adopted by the house and sen ate. A bill for the repeal of the mothers' pension act of 1913 was introduced lu the house by W. Al. Jones of Marlon county. A bill to prevent Japanese from owning or controlling property wit) the state of Oregon was introduced n the senate hy Senator Wilbur of Hood River county. Every man has a right to work, says Representative Laurgaard, who intro duced a Joint resolution in the house proposing an amendment to the con stitution which will grant state em ployment to all unemployed who have been residents of Oregon for a period of five years. With but one opposing vote the sen ate took a crack at high interest rates which prevail in many of the central and eastern Oregon counties by pass ing Senator Pierce's bill reducing the legal contract interest rate from 10 to 8 per oent per annum, and reducing the regular legal interest rate from ( to ( per cent.
