Had An Extended Visit
Mrs. Eva E. Russell relumed
!o St. Johns lnsl Snlunlny nrier
tm extended .sojourn in the East
where she lind hecn visilinH
among old time friends and
relatives in MiehiMan and New
York stale. She will make her
home with her daughter, Mrs.
Swanson, on West John street.
Regarding her trip Mrs. Mussell
says:
"On October Ith. HM1J, I and
my son, 0. C. Hussell, started
on our long trip East, and had
u very pleasant trip. I remain
ed in Michigan all winter, visit
ing relatives there, and my son
going to New York where he
was soon to he married, and
is now settled in his new home
at North Ihimden, N. J., on a
200-acrc farm. During the win
ter months 1 stayed with mv
two stepsons, It. Y. and J. .
Hussoll ol' Akron and Flint.
Michigan, also nephew and sister-in-law
at East Saginaw who
has since passed away. Also
made a short visit to Toledo,
Ohio, and Hillsdale. Mich. On
May Ith I started lor New York
to -visit my son and new daughter-in-law,
also oilier relatives.
I visited a number ol" different
nlaces of interest in the lovelv
hills and valleys of New York
stale. The Hocky Mountains
was a uraud and beautiful
sight, lifting one's thoughts to
the great Creator above. I ar
rived in good old St. Johns last
Saturday, having slopped oN'
at Spokane, Wash., ihe past
two weeks visiting relatives and
Inking in the county fair, which
was very interesting, especially
the band of Indians from Mon
tana all painted and dressed in
their war suits, and dancing
their war dances. It did seem
good to see Portland again."
The Divided Session Alcastire
The Oregon Voter in its lasf
issue gave arguments for and
against each of the proposed
measures to he voted upon in
November. Helow appears the
argument presented against the
divided session measure:

will Intensify tlio rush. Ono Is that
by tlio terms of tlio amendment, tho
first period Is limited to forty days
a positive limit, not merely n limita
tion to forty days' pay, its under tlio
exIstliiK constitution, which permits
the Legislature to continue in session
without pay ns long as n quorum will
remain. The other factor Is that there
will bo temptation to pass muny more
Mils to the second period than now
are passed as laws, on the ground that
tho decision of the first period (except
is to appropriations) Is not flnnl. so
why not pass the hilt along so It can
get final action during tho second
period, after tho people lmvo had more
opportunity lo discuss the different
measures?
During tho second period, under this
nmoiidinont, four-fifths of eiich house
aro required In ordor to nmend u lilll.
Much of the hastily-passed legislation
coming from tlio first period wilt re
quire nmendmeiit. There would be
flaws In It, recognized by tho majority
not merely llttlo flaws, hut liiiiKiiage
that will have effects far beyond the
real purpose of tho hills mid tuny do
great Injustice If enacted In Its
original form.
Any seven, senators (one-fifth plus
ono' of tho Senate), or any thirteen
representatives (ono fifth plus ono of
the House), can band themselves to
gether and veto any amendment on
any of this meritorious legislation,
simply by refuslnx to voto for amend
menls, until such tlmo as tho majority
makes terms with both tho group of
seven nervy senators and tho thirteen
nervy representatives, thereby enabl
ing both of those two groups to secure
any legislative concession desired by
fltlier ns Its price for not construct
ing needed amendments of meritorious
bills. If tho majority refuses to make
terms, It either must sacrifice the
meritorious bills and face tho wratli
of Its constluents for falling (o oiiact
them, or must voto them through un
amended, with possibly glaring faults,
It Is not Impossible that a group
as small its six, five, four, three or
even two senators, or twelvo or loss
members of tho house, could exorcise
this tyranny of u compact and obstruc
tive minority. It Is not unusual that
members elected aro absent, for rea
sous of Illness or even of death.
If there were only 27 senators pres
ent when tlio roll was called, tlio
affirmative voto of 21 would still be
rcuuircd. ns 21 Is four-firths of thirty.
lie total number of senators elected.
Any four of the 27 senators could dic
tate. A corresponding situation could
exist in th bonne. Vet In each house,
any amendment would require not a
mere majority of u quorum an at pros
out (nine senators or 10 representa
tives can amend under tlio present
system if only a bare quorum Is pros
enti, but a full four-fifths of all tho
seiialors and all thu representatives
L'l senators and IS representatives,
Kvery artifice of (ho roll call tlixl
iter would bo called Into requlsltlo
when a full roll call of 21 senators
and IS representatives would bo re
quired to amend a measure.
Kvldenily the legislators would face
two horns or tho dilemma during th
first period. They could pans bill
rapidly In order to avoid tho las
minute rush, and thus glut tlio second
session and run tho perils of having
to submit to the dictatorship of a llttl
senate machine of seven and u Utile
house machine of thirteen. Or tlx
could give core and tlmo to the from
lug of legislation during (ho first
period, and by giving earn and time
would make It curtain that tlio eml of
Uiu first period would bo ono grand
last minute rush without any posslhllty
or roller by protracting (lie period a
