An amendment will bo presented early In the sesatoa to tha Initiative and referendum enartmeni. nis win roma from the Multnomah delegation and tha exact form has not yet been de cided upon. Tha evil aimed at la the nromisruous Introduction of need lens legislation. One plan that may be Homed is to make It necessary for each signer of an Initiative petition to take oath that he la familiar wun every nhsse of the nronosad enactment. Many organisations have pet bills to pnt throuah. the liood rtoaaa associa tion lesdlug the list with five. The association will ask tor a atate hlcli way lommisslon, first of all. This commission will have supervision of the general situation In evolving more and better roads for Oregon. The law. which has already been drafted oy K Webster, nrovldea a aalarled road supervisor who shall superintend the construction of all roads in tne siaie where crushed rock or gravel are used. This servant must not be appointed for political reasons but because or nu practical experience In road making.

The City and County Medical Society will have up a bill wid ening tha examinations so as to apply to all classes of practitioners. They say-tiobody should- practice without a license. Tbla measure Is aimed at neuropaths, electropaths and the like. The law narrows the scope of the reg ulation examination from six to three studtts-anaiomy. pathology and phy siology. The State Medical Society has evolved a bill. In conjunction with tha State Bar Association, defining expert testimony In criminal and civil cases. This Is de signed to prevent unqualified and In competent persons from appearing as experts, as Is often done. The Associated Charities has three bills evolved up to the present writing. They wsut a state reformatory for girls, separation of epileptics from con tact with the feeble-minded and sterili sation of dangerous and habitual crim inals. The Humane Society will ask for fundi to enable the hiring of a state otfuer who shall be maintained on fixed salary. o far that Is the only measure the society haa settled upon. The ttate Rank Kxamtaer will put In a bill the effect of which Is to provide deputies having authority to examine banks and thus make It possible to cover the state more frequently than once in two years, as Is now the rase.

The Civic Council has three school hills. The first is designed to enlarge the membership of the Hoard of Kduca lion to 14 members.

Miss Cameron bad a reason for her masquersding. A rela tive had charge of experiments with the submarine boat Shark, at the Brooklyn avy-ysra. suss i-ameron long had cherished a desire to take a crulsa in the submarine boat and she pestered her official relative so that at last he consented to take her on board on condition that she disguise herself as a midshipman. It was after her cruise under the sea and while on her way back to her apartments that Miss Cameron met her Italian lover and lost all chance to become a baroness.
