RESULTS IN 7 LAWS
NO IMPORTANT MEASURE HA8
YET PA88ED BOTH HOU8E8
AT 8ALEM.
BIG BILLS BEFORE COMMITTEES
Plan Appointment of Railroad Com
missioners by Governor 8o
Law May be Effective
at Once.
Salem, Feb, 4 Tho legislature
started this morning on Us fourth
week of luwmaklrig. Tho three weeks'
havo been almost fruitless as far as
compiled legislation Is concerned as
only soven bills have passed both
houses, out of a total of 622 Intro
duced.. Thirty threo of tho total are
killed by Indefinite) postponement, and
ono failed to pass.
Among those put on tho sholf was
tho one for a state board of charities
and corrections introduced by Repre
sentative Dye.
Six of tho seven laws enacted aro
local measures, tho soverit.lt being tho
one requiring true branding of all
packed fruit, as to grower and placo
of production.
The "big bills," Important measures
all remain to be acted on and include
those for railroad commission and re-
elpiocal demurrage; regulation of
water franchises; regulation of sal
mon flublng on the Columbia river;
control of public funds at Interest;
normal schools and other educational
Institutions; free locks at Oregon
City; employment of convicts; Im
provement of county roads; appropri
ation for Seattle exposition; creation
of new counties; protection of forests
from fire; Institution for feeble mind
ed; uho of streams for logging; and
many other subjects.
Railroad Commission.
It Is planned In case tho roads com
mltteo'favorably reports Cbapin'a rail
road commission bill, to recommend
tho temporary appointment of com
missioners by tho governor, until
memW-rs are elected by the people In
Juno, 1908.
This plan has several advantages.
If tho appointees must go before the
people for Indorsement of their ad
ministration the Governor will be care
ful to appoint commissioners whoso
records will most probably be satis
factory to tho people. Then, with
the knowledgo that they must go be
fore the people for reelection, the
first Incumbents would strive the
harder to please the people, even
though they displeased both the Gov
ernor and the railroads.
The plan of temporary appointment
will secure Immediate operation of
the lnw without sacrificing the gen-
oral principle that public officers
should bo accountable to the public.
All Stand Together.
Tho State University and State Ag
rlcultural college deny any combina
tion with the nor. mils to secure ap-
proprlatlons, but they are standing!
together Just tho same. t
;
To Stop Fiahlng on Sunday. -
Portland, Feb. 4. By agreement
between the lawmakers of Oregon
and Washington, reached at a concur
rent committee conference held In
this city, yesterday, bills will be In
troduced within a few days In the
Oregon and Washington legislatures
recommending that no salmon fishing
he allowed on the Columbia river be
tween C o'clock p. m. Saturday to 6
p. m. Sunday during the summer open
senson, which it Is planned will ex
tend from April 20 to August 20. The
bills will shorten the present open
senson five days tn April and five days
In August.
Tho proposed bills will make tho
closed season from March 15 to April
20, and from August 20 to September
10. Tho present law mnkes the clos
ed seasons from March 15 to April
15 and from August 25 to September
10.
MORE ROOM POR
POSTOfTlCE CLERKS
A change has taken placo at the
postofflce, which will give tho post
master and his assistants more room
and will enable them to get the mall
out of the way in a much shorter
spneo of time. "
Tho quarters of the postofflce have
been much too small for tho amount
of mail that Is received here. Before
tho carriers of the city were given
their route, it was necessary to have
a largo number of boxes in the office,
but since people have had their mall
brought to their houses, many of the
boxes at the office have been dropped,
Postmaster Randall then saw that a
larger floor space could be secured
effort
by reducing the number of boxes and
taking out those that were not In use.
Tho change has taken out three sec
tions of boxes, making altogether 220
boxes taken out. This means about
15 or 20 feet more space for the car
riers In tho office proper.
There are now six rural carriers and
threo city carriers and when all were
In tbo office and especially when the
malls were largo, there was very little
room left to move around.
Tho change will rnako possible for
tho carriers to mako up their bundles
of mall In much shorter time and will
result In the delivering of the mall
somewhat earlier than before.
WASHING MACHINE
COSTS HASSLER DEAR
Tho caso of J. E. Smith vs. Hasslcr
of Elyvlllp was heard Saturday before
Justice of the Peace Stlpp. Hassler
was brought up on a charge of defac
ing the store of J. E. Smith." In the
justice court Hassler was fined $10
and given his liberty upon the pay
ment of the fine.
The charge of defacing the building
came through a controversy between
Hassler and Purcell, a clerk of the
store of J. E. Smith. Hassler had pur
chased a washing' machine and taken
It homo, but brought It back on the
following day as he did not like It.
Tho clerk would not take It back and
words were the result. In an attempt
to return tho machine Inside of the
door Hassler broke the front door.
When Purcell calW for the police,
Hassler took hit machine, which he
had Intended to leave at the Btore,
and made his departure for home.
Legislative Note.
Fifty lawmakers visited the State
Agricultural college at Corvallia, Fri
day, RoproHentatlve Huntley being
the only Clackamas member among
the number. The college is asking for
$125,000 for new buildings in addition
to the $50,000 already provided by
law for tho two-year period.
The State University and the State
Agricultural college have gone Into a
combine with the four normal schools
to secure their full appropriation and
to prevent the abolition of the Ashland
and Drain normals.
All kinds of Sunday closing blue
laws are before the legislature, the
only difference In them being one of
degree In tMlr strictness.
None of the many bills Introduced
by Clackamas members has yet been
passed by both houses, or by either
of them In fact, though there are sev
eral that should and doubtless will
reach Governor Chamberlain.
