For A New County.
Cascade County, with Ita court house at
Hood River, ha fair prospects of Join
ing the Eastern Oregon sisterhood o
counties. The House Monday unani
mously passed a bill to create the county.
Strong opposition will develop, however.
In the Senate, where the Wasco people
have centered their forces. They aai
that the political organization of Mult
nomah and the state is working against
them In order to diminish the political
'nfluence of Wasco county, out of which
Cascade is to be formed and that the
same elements are now working for the
creation of Cascade which defeated Stock
man or Jefferson County. The Wasce
people gave up the fight for Stockmaa
largely to head off Cascade.
Other Legislation.
Senator Sichel has Introduced a bffl
for a law regulating automobile. It re-

The Senate defeated Miller's Senate
bill 3, which proposed to change the
school fund apportionment law so as te
require that each district should be given
100 Instead of 350 before the per capita
apportionment Is made. Senator Miller
explained that the bill was intended te
favor the small county districts, but the
Senate would not agree with his view
and sustained the adverse report of the
committee on education.
Senator Nottingham' bill providing for
changing the name of the State Reform
School to that of State School for Boy,
was Indefinitely postponed In the Senate
Monday. This unfavorable action resulted
largely from the attitude of Senator Not
tingham towards his own measure. He
fathered the motion for its postponement.

Oregon City, Oregon
Judge Ryan Has a Number of Ideas on
Legislation,
"The per centage of rebate that Is al
lowed by law for the prompt payment of
taxes should be reduced, and I am going
to offer a bill covering the subject," de
clares County Judgo Ryan. The Clacka
mas County Judge Is drafting a number
of bills that he will have presented to
the State Legislature through the delega
tion from this county.
The principal measure for which Judge
Ryan will contend,, will be that reduc
ing from 3 to 2 per cent the rebate al
lowed In tax payments. This feature of
the present tax laws cost Clackamas
county 35400 In the aggregate In the col
lection of Inst year's taxes. Judge Ryan
thinks that the payment of taxes will be
expedited with 2 per cent rebato as well
as under present conditions, while the
reduction in the rate will Increase the
amount of money actually received by
the county. '
Regulating the use of the public high
ways and prohibit ing the travel of auto
mobiles on mountain ronds are the pur
poses of another bill that Judge Ryan Is
prepnrtng. It is proposed to prohibit the
uso of tho roads for wood-hauling during
certain times of the year and also rog
u.nte the load that is to be carried ac
cording to the width of the tires of wag
ons employed.
Another measure proposes creating a
statute of limitations at from one to two
years within which proceedings estab
lishing roads may be reviewed. As the
laws now stand on this subject, the reg
ularity of the proceedings attending the
building of a road twenty years ago can
be questioned and the controversy brought
Into court for adjustment.
