OLYMPIA. Wash.. March 2. (Spe
cial.) The House passed practically
its entire programme of election re
vision bills today, but not until after
Kin Alcohol had raised his head in
the middle of the proceedings, causing
the nearest approach to real disorder
that the Legislature "haa seen during
the session and raisins an obstruction
that caused the previously smoothly-
working organization steamroller to
wobble perilously and nearly go into
the ditch.
The important bills of the election
programme acted upon today and ttie
vote on each was as follows:
House bill No. 271, abolishing second
choice primary voting, passed 74 to 16.
House bill No. 178, prohibiting cir
filiation of recall petitions, requiring
all petitions to be signed at registra
tion offices, passed 64 to la.
House bill No. 120, applying same re
strictions and requirements to Inula
ive and referendum petitions, passed
68 to Zi.
House bill No. 212, proposing: const!
tutional amendment to abolish the di
rect initiative and requiring all ini
tiative measures to be submitted first
to the Legislature, Increasing the sig
natures required on initiative petitions
from 10 to 15 per cent and on referen
dura petitions from ( to 10 per cent.
passed 75 to 15.

These were the bills around which
the fight centered. Other measures of

nrartlce. if amendment Is required. Is
to recommit to the commjttee which
had had the bill in hand, and some
times the committee does not report
back for several days. An amendment
from the floor in actual practice
may be considered only by unanimous
consent or by going into committee
of the, whole, and that requires an
affirmative vote of a majority of the
members. In Olympia the rules are
not the same in both houses, but
each hears a bill read once section
by section and opportunity is offered
for amendment from the floor. This
obviously encourages more careful
consideration, yet under the handicaps
of a shorter legislative period and the
necessity of working in lll-aaaptea
quarters this procedure would be prac
tically impossible in Oregon, unless
the volume of legislation were to be
greatly reduced.
Omni Coat $40,000 I.caa.
In, the matter of cost of sessions the
Oregon Legislature gets off with an
appropriation for legislative expenses
of at least 40.000 less than that appro
priated for the Washington session.
The Washington Legislature has so far
appropriated 105.nno. but there is some
doubt as to whether it will meet all
expenses. The cost of the recent Ore
gon Legislature was $6.",000. The dif
ference of more than $30,000 is repre
sented alone by the higher pay of mem
bers, larger number thereof and longer
session in Washington
Tha Oregon Legislature employs
mure clerks and stenograpners man
does Washington. There was some
protest against the number of em
ployes in Oregon. On the other hand,
there was a protest from Seattle
women registered early in the Olym
pia session against the long hours of
labor the Legislature was imposing on
its stenographers..
There is quite a natural and not alto
gether unworthy feeling among the
Oregon Legislators that inasmuch as
thev are giving their services to the
state for the mere cost of living the
should not inconvenience themselves
by economizing on clerical assistance.

Reports reaching Holland from the

the election programme passed without I dicate that the belief has been spread

chines, etc.
The fight on the election bills was
purely partisan. They were taken up
and agreed to at Republican caucus
last night, lasting until after 12 o'clock
and despite Progressive and Demo
tratic oratory, that once evoked ap
plause from the galleries that caused
the speaker to threaten to clear them

more than the two-thirds majority

Dry Scent Plot.
When House bill No. 179 was taken
up at the end of the list of election
measures the situation changed. This
bill originally was introduced to pro
vide uniform dates In March for elec
tion of small cities, school districts, port
districts, etc. Some objection was
in ado to this date and the House rules

In November, beginning lslo.
The drys secured the text of the bill
only late last night and at once scented
a plan by which the House might evade
its resolution, adopted earlier in theh
session, against submitting liquor bills
to popular vote at a special election
this year. Arrangement for the new
Mate-wide general election would ellra
lnate the necessity of calling a special
election and enable re-presenfation of
the liquor question before the prohi
bitlon law could go into effect next
January 1, the prohibition forces con
tended.
It was here that partisan considera
tion of election measures ended and
that real disorder, began. Representa
tive Farnsworth, of Lincoln County,
moved indefinite postponement of the
bill. Speaker Conner put instead
motion to lay the measure on the table
and when this was declared lost de
dined to entertain Farnsworth s mo
tion, recognizing Instead Representa
tive Sims.' Republican leader, who
moved substitution of the new bill for
the original measure.
Sergeant Vara Korce.
Farnsworth insisted on his motion
being put. and when the Speaker ruled
liim out of order, appealed from the
iecision of the chair. The Speaker
evidently did not hear the appeal, but
ordered the Sergeant-t-Arms to seat
Farnsworth. This that officer did,
With more force than tact, seizing the
elderly Lincoln County man by both
shoulcfers and hurling him back on
his chair. Lowman. of Skagit, applied
n opprobrious epithet to the Sergeant-st-Arms
and for a minute there was
promise of a free-for-all, instead of
a parliamentary fight, but the attention
ft members next was directed to Sims'
motion to substitute the new commit
tee bill.
Rollcall was demanded, and the new
bill finally was substituted by a vote
of 41 to 41. Immediately after the vote
had been taken Representative Reeves
renewed the motion for indefinite post
ponement and derldred the bill merely
an attempt to enable easy repeal of the
frohibltion law.
This seemed likely to carry, but
Guie of King poured oil on the trou
bled waters by offering an amendment
which would bar any Initiative meas

Besides passing election bills and
brushing the liquor question, the House
passed the omnibus appropriations bill,
carrying appropriations totaling $13,-500.000.
lnc recently that The Netherlands is
about to enter into the hostilities,
Semi-official circles here declare that
such reports are without foundation.
It is asserted that Holland's attitude
of complete neutralityhas not changed,
but that she continues determined to
protect her national rights.
Henry van uyae, tne American min
ister, referring to the reports, said:
"Naturally the various naval decla

Smaller Quarters no Deterrent.
If by reason of these alterations
the members of each house were put
into smaller quarters there would be
sdvantaee rather than otherwise. In
the Washington House 97 members do
business In a smaller room than that
occupied by 60 members in the Ore-
iron House. It is true that the desks
are not so Urge and that there is no
apace for visitors or seats for clerks
within the bar. But the members can
hear what is being said and no one
lias to strain his voice.
There is apparently some psycho
logical inducement to oratory in a
scattered audience. When men are
close together they are not so long
winded. One great point of variance
between the two legislatures is that
the Washington legislator usually gets
up and states his views or position
in a few words. In Oregon oratory Is

who entered the car wore a pair of

the overalls were thrown into the river.

Justice McBride said in part
It Is contended that the words providing
that two Commissioners may be elected "to
sit witn the county judge whilst transacting
county business" by implication exclude the
idea that the Commissioners can transact
any business in his absence. This, in our
opinion, is g-rvlng- too narrow and technical
a meaning to the word "git," and, in effect,
limiting It to the mere physical presence of
the two Commissioners upon the bench, lie
would be Jupiter and they but satelites. and
even less, because they would not be autnor

be to "sit." Unless they are to have equal
authority with the county Judge in matters

that the county judge should' sit with two
