SOLONS DO NOT WARM UP Opim.Mtion to Introducing Subjects Other Than Those Mentioned by Hart Crops Out. OLT.MPIA. Wa.h.. March V,. (Spe cial.) Preliminary to asking: the spe cial session of the legislature, which convenes March 21 for enactment of legislation for the financial relief of the common schools of the state, .Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston, state superintendent of public Instruction, appeared before an informal confer ence of members of the appropriation committee in the governor's office this afternoon to urge support of the eo-ralird "20-;0" law. As proposed by Mrs. Preston, backed by the state teachers' league, the "20-L'O" law would increase the present state and county contributions of $10 each to the school fund to $-0 each. The "10-10" law in effect at present was passed in 1009. and Mrs. J'reston in presenting arguments for enactment of new legislation ex pressed the view that since that time the purchasing value of the dollar had been' cut in half so that what the schools were in reality asking was not an increase, but to be placed on I the same financial basis they were on when the present law was passd.

Hras. ed itor of the Northwest Educational Journal.

Is of no practical benefit to the soldiers, as there are not suf ficient claims suitable for agricul tural purposes to make a drop in the bucket. The post went on record against making any request to the govern ment for bonus or other assistance, but in case any action is taken by the government it would be welcomed. A special committee reported that Marshfield merchants who have been patronizing an offensive newspaper at Astoria have withdrawn support and no more advertising will be given that periodical. Mair Dano was elected commander of the post; John Ferguson, vice-commander; George C. Huggins, adjutant; John Cook, treasurer; Ilobert Dillard, historian.
