CHICAGO. Pec 31. (Special.) Jan.
uary will see the Legislatures in 37
states starting Into action. Thirty
three of the Assemblies will elect or
re-elect United States Senators, and In
some of the states spirited contests are
on the schedule. Several Republican
Senators will relinquish their to. s to
Democrats aa a result of the November
landslide. la most of the states Impor
' tant legislative programmes will come
before the lawmakers, the most elabo
rate one. perhaps, being that of Oregon,
here the electors polled on 32 initia
tive and referendum measures.
Weird Things Expected.
Because of the political landslide
many "statesmen" nominated as a joke,
without the slightest thought they
would be elected, have been Inflicted
upon the country aa lawmakers, and
some weird and sensational things are
l.kely to result in all states.
Illinois faces a legislative session
that threatens to be marked by intense
bitterness. The Republicans, with a
scant majority, are spilt by factions
and the Speakership fight appears to
be between the "dry" and "wets."
Twenty-four candidates for Speaker are
already In the field. Chief among; the
legislative acts to come up are the fol-
lowing:
Civil service extension, state and
county; Initiative and referendum; cor
' rupt practices act; modernization of the
taxing system; legislative reapportion
ment; county option; abolition of mi
nority representation; deep waterway,
and numerous bills desired by union
labor. .
Kern to Be Senator.
In Indiana. John W. Kern will be
elected Senator. Chief on the legisla
tive programme are various liquor laws,
the Democrats being pledged to modify
the strict lawa now in force. Registra
tion laws and bills creating the com
mittee form of government are prom
ised. Michigan will probably elect Charles
E. Townsend to succeed Senator Bur
rows. In Nebraska, both parties are split
wide open on the liquor question. The 1
Governor is Republican, nolle both I
houses are Democratic Gilbert
Hitchcock will probably succeed Sen
tor Burkett.
Missouri is chiefly Interested In the
employers' liability and railroad laws,
David It- Francis seems assured of be
ing elected United States Senator.
Kailrond Commission Up.
Kansas will not elect a Senator until
two years hence, and chief Interest cen
ters In a proposed commission, which
shall have absolute control over all
railroads and other utilities.
Iowa is full of candidates to succeed
General Lafe Young.
Oklahoma will wrestle with bank
guaranty and good-roads laws.
In Wisconsin LaFoIlette will be I i-
elected Senator. Insurgent Republicans
have control of both houses and some
radical laws along soclallstlo lines are
assured.
Arkansas will be occupied chiefly
witn working- out new tax laws.

BOISE. Idaho, Dec Sl.-(Special.)
Charles D. Storey, of Bolsa, will wield
the gavel as Speaker of the House of
Representatives during the 11th session
of Idaho s Legislature, which opens Mon
day morning, and Fred W. Goodinc. Sen
ator-elect of Lincoln County, will be
party leader of the majority or Repub
lican wing, having been elected president
pro tern oi tne Senate.
The Speakership light focused atten
tion. Besides Storey. Representatives
tien. or iatan, ualdrldgo of Canvon. and
Johnson of Bingham, were in the race.
The Republican members caucused prac
tically all of last night, but failed to
reacn an agreement. This morning John
son withdrew from the race and threw
nis strength to Storey, greatly damag
ing Bell's chance. On the flrat ballot
Storey was found to have II votes more
than sufficient to elect. His election
made unanimous.
It Is openly asserted here tonight that
In return for swinging his auDDort to
Storey. Representative Johnson, who is
a prominent sheepman and Mormon, se
cures the right to dictate the standing
committee appointment, a great power in
the organization. In the Senate cauaua
Senators B. P. Shawhan. of Canyon, and
Gooding, of Lincoln, were placed in nomi
nation. The vote gave Gooding a major
ity of four.
Pure Food Commissioner .1. H. Wallls
was again selected chief clerk In the
House. The Inauguration of Governor
Brady will take place Monday morning,
when the Legislature will swing open lis
noors to receive its M legislators, and the
Uth session will be formally launched.
Solons of both parties have been gather
ing in the capital city for the past week
and the lawmakers have been the center
of a bun of political activity. All favor
a sane session this1 year and will anchor
to the planks nailed to the respective
party platforms.
In many respects the session promises
to be one of the most Important in the
history of the state, due to the fact sev
eral Issues of vital Interest are para
mount and the majority party are tied to
them: Nex Perce, Idaho. Canyon, Bing
ham and a group of Southern Idaho
counties' will ask for division and the
creation of new counties. The north
and south demand additional Judicial
districts, while all of the educational in
stitutions are demanding recognition.
It Is a. remarkable fact that the ma
jority of the members of both the Sen
ate and House representatives are young
men. the personnel as a whole being
very much under age compared to for
mer Legislatures. The activity of these
solons at this session promises an inter
esting programme.

NEW YORK, Dec 31. (Spe
cial.) John L. Walsh has been
mads Commissioner of Weights
and Measures to succeed Clement
Drlscoll. The commlsslonershlp
is a very Important one. becauee
Drlscoll. for the first time In the
history of the office, required
absolute honesty of those using
scales and measures, and worked
a revolution In the handling of
merchandise and food. When Mr.
Walsh was appointed. Mayor
Gaynor wrote to him suggesting
that he repeat hourly the words
of the proverb, "Divers weights
and divers measures, both of
them are alike abominations unto
the Lord." A manufacturer of
scales happened to be in New
York at the time Walsh was ap
pointed. "I can give the Mayor
a better quotation than that from
the same book," he said. "We
have printed in our catalogues
and on all our circulars and dis
played on our factory walls In
Springfield. Ohio, the quotation
from the Proverbs, "A false bal
ance is an abomination to the
Lord; but a just weight is his
delight.' " .
WASHINGTON, Dec 31. By authori
zation of Secretary Knox of the State
Department, the Joint report of Judge
Martin A. Knapp, chairman of the In
terstate Commerce Commission of Can
ada, on the proposed creation of the
International Commerce Commission to
day was made public. The report com
mends the creation or tne proposed
commission. The commissioners were
In complete accord upon all matters.
The essential features of the report
are:
"It Is quite apparent that the exist
ing laws of the United States and Can
ada are inadequate tor the effeotive
control of International carriers as re
spects through rates and the establish
ment of througn routes.
"To accomplish the desired results
treaty between tne two countries
would be preferable to concurrent leg
islation.
Tribunal Is Desired.
"This proposed treaty provides for
tribunal to enforce and administer lt
provisions to be known as the Interna
tlonal Commerce commission ana wnien
shell consist of four members, namely
the chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the chief Commissioner
of the Board of Railway Commissioners
of Canada, for the time being a member
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
to be appointed by the President of the
United States, and a member of the
Board of Railway Commissioners for
Canada, to be appointed by the Governor-
General of Canada In council. The pow
ers conferred upon and authority given
I In respect of International carriers would
correspond to the extent Indicated, to
those exercised by the Interstate Com
merce Commission within the United
States.
Senate to Consider Treaty.
"International carriers by water be
tween the United States and Canada
should not be subjected to the provi
sions of such a treaty except when and
to the extent that they unite with rail
carriers In either country In forming
through water and rail or rail and
water routes.
"The provisions of such a treaty
apply to telegraph, telephon t and ex
press companies and such companies
should be subject as respects their In
ternational business, to the authority
of the International commerce commission."
Two features of the proposed treaty
are notable. They provide that claims
for reparation shall not be heard by
the International Commerce Commis
sion and that that body shall not pros
ecute criminal proceedings against
shippers or carriers.
It Is the purpose or secretary Knox
to submit the treaty to the Senate at
