the saltnon-flshing Industry made its
appearance In the House this -morning.
It was Introduced by Representative
t'hatten and was Indorsed at the con
vention of sporting men from all parts

that provision which prohibits fishing
for salmon with other than hook and
line in the Willamette River and its
tributaries south of the suspension
bridge at Oregon City. It also limits to
five the number of salmon to be taken
In a day by any one person. This bill

turbed fishing privileges on the Wil
lamette at Oregon City.

other bill which provides for estab
lishing two additional trout hatcheries
In the state, one east of the Cascades
and the other west of that range of

(Special) Representatives Brooke
and McKlnney today Jointly Introduced
House Joint Memorial No. J. urging
Oregon s delegation In Congress to lend
Its Influence to the re-enactment of
Section of the Reclamation Act.
It was through the repeal of this sec
tion of this act that Oregon was un
able this year to get Ita share of the
reclamation fund. The section provid
ed that not less than SO per cent of
the fund contributed by each state
should be expended for reclamation
work In the state making the contribu
tion. The resolution characterises as
Injurious discrimination the appor
tlonment of this fund as It Is now
made under the amended law.
The resolution Is:
Whereas. The stste of Oregon hss con-
trlbutsd -to tbe United 9tates reclamation
fund a larger sum tbaa say ether state;
mo.
Whereas. The apportionment ef the recla
mation fund to Or. son ; so Inadequate as
to constitute actual discrimination to the

Whereas. Tbe early reclarastton ef the

sentatives In Congress be immortalised to
urge the Immediate re-enactment of Pee
t o of tho Reclamation Art of the United
Ktatee and nse their Influence to secure an
spportlonment of the reclamation fund which

STATE CAPITOL Salem, Or, Jan. 10.
I Special.) Widen the scope of -the In
heritance tax law so It will operate to
prevent tax "dodging" and save thou
sands of dollars to the state la the plan
of Senator Malarkey, who Introduced the
present, Inheritance, tax law and intends
to Introduce a measure radically modify
ing It.
He declares that at present County
Courts almost universally select the ap
praisers for an estate who are named In
the petition of the administrators. Un
der this system appraisers,. he says, ex
ercise their power tor the benefit of the
estate and In a detrimental manner to
the atate.
On numerous occasions, he declares,
they find it easy to place a valuation
of less than $10,000 on a 120.000 estate
and as the Inheritance tax law makes
provision thst estates valued at less than
1 10.000 are exempt, the state Is a heavy
loser.
His plan, while not definitely worked
out, is to place upon some county offi
cer the duty of being an ex -officio mem
ber of every board of appraisers and
require is a part of his duties thst he
sees every estate Is assessed at Its full
valuation.
Many Bills Introduced.
Joseph Introduced a bill providing that
counties of 200.000 Inhabitants or more
may build hospitals for the care of the
Indigent sick or for patients that are
financially able. to pay for their hospital
services. This was followed by a bill
from Locke providing that all counties
in the state be authorised to build such
a hospital for the care of the poor or
those financially able, the money rv-
celved from the patlenta who pay to be
used in maintenance of the Institution.
Joseph also Introduced a bill provid
ing that the County Commissioners of
Multnomah County be paid 15 a day for
their services rather than 13 as now
paid.
Ballot Change Asked.
No more "alphabetical statesmen." Is
the wish of Senator Slnnott. He Intro
duced a measure In the Senate this
morning providing for a radical change
In the ballots as used at the primary
and general elections.
Under the provisions of this act the
printer Is required to print a certain
number of ballots with the names of
the candidates appearing thereon in al
phabetical order. Upon the printing of
a certain number of these ballots, the
names are shifted so that the name that
was first la placed last and the name
which was second la placed at the bead
of the Hat. This chsnge Is continued
In rotation until all of the ballots are
printed and there Is an equal number
of each kind of the ballots.
The system of numbering the candi
dates Is also abolished under the provi
sions of the proposed act and in place
of the number a vacant space Is left for
tbe voter to mark his choice of the can
didates. Senator Dlmlrk also Introduced a bill
providing that the polls shall remain
open all day at primary nominating
elections, the same as they are at gen
eral elections.
Senate to Hear Prayer.
Among the resolutions this morning
were two from Malarkey and Miller de
claring In favor of opening the Senate
each morning with prayer. Miller
withdrew his and ,Malarkey's was
adopted.
Place the burden of collecting taxes
upon the County Treasurer and remove
It from the Sheriff, who is the consti
tuted officer for that duty at the
present time. Is the gist of a bill In
troduced In the Senate by Barrett of
Umatilla. He proposes to place the
treasurer under a bond commensurate
to the amount of funds raised In the
county from which he is elected, and
to have this bond renewed annually.
