13 THE SUNDAY. OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY GRIST PLENTIFUL FOR LAWMAKERS Prohibition, Tax Law Revision and Consolidations Likely ; to Make Session Busy. WET ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED Committee of One Hundred Will Aii That Special Commission Ho Selected in rjich Chamber to I'ass Tpon BUI Submitted. In spite of the fact that this is con sidered an "off year" so far as law making" Is concerned, much important business awaits the members of the Legislature who will convene in bi ennial session at Sai-m January 11. Prohibition legislation, tax law re visions, consolidation of state boards uid commissions and adoption of an economy" programme are among the details that doubtless will demand most ef the legislators' time. Th prohibition bill will be on of trie first measures Introduced. There Is considerable rivalry among members er both houses for the honor of intro ducing it. The measure has been draft ed In Its entirety by the. legal bureau f the Committee of One Hundred and wiM he submitted In Its present form. J. T-. Anderson, of The Dalles. Is the nly member of the Legislature who also is a member of the Committee of no Hundred, and It is considered prob able that he will be entrusted with the DleDSIire. The "dry" forces In each house will Insist trTat the President of the Senate aid the Speaker of the House respect Ivelv, name a committee on prohibition laws. Efforts then will be made to kave the bill sent to these committees. Opposed to this action, the "wet" supporters In the Legislature will ask to have the bill sent to the committees on revision of laws. They point out that. Inasmuch as the measure provides for drastic rearrangement of certain statutes. It should be given to this committee, which usually is composed of lawyers. The first clash over the prohibition bill, therefore. Is expected to come when it Is sent to committee. The Committee of One Hundred de clares that It will have no lobby at talent. It will present the bill and ask Its adoption in the form of its presentation. Its members say that they wl'-l depend upon the legislators to keep faith with the people who last Kali returned a majority of more than 16.000 votes in favor of a prohibition amendment. In fact, nearly every member of the legislature already has expressed him self In favor of the Committee of One Hundred's bill, and it is believed that the measure will bs adopted without serious revision. Hotel keepers throughout the state began a campaign yesterday to ask the legislature to amend the Com mittee of One Hundred's bill so as to permit the hotels to serve liquor to travelers. They declare that the tourist business of the state will suffer severely if this provision Is not made. On the other hand the "dry" forces re determined that this exception shall not be made. They point out that It will lead to evasions and to cross abuses. While they do not doubt the good faith of the particular hotel men who are back of this movement they assert that it will be Inadvisable Jor the more Irresponsible hotel men throughout the state to have this privilege. It Is said. too. that many private clubs In Portland and other parts of Oregon want some exceptions made In their favor. But such action, too. will meet with serious opposition. It Is ex plained that this will allow the rich man to have his liquor while It is denied the poor man. Plans for consolidating state boards with conflicting duties, thereby elimi nating unnecessary expenses in the stato government, are largely in the bands of Multnomah County legisla tors. The special committee composed of Senator Day and Representatives IVenlworth and Cobb has completed the draft of a bill providing certain consolidations. This measure will be submitted in the early part of the session. It Is probable that other leEislators will propose similar measures. One of the principal subjects of con troversy at the coming session doubt less will be this plan of consolidating boards. The Multnomah County delegation will submit its tax revision bill agreed upon at l:it Monday's meeting. This provides, tor Muu-itual. per cent payments. May 5 and October 0. A penalty of 1 per cent a month is provided for delinquencies with an ad ditional penalty of 6 per cent If de linquencies run beyond the second pay ment period; a discount of J per cent to be allowed on the second hair II rld at the first period Advertise ments of delinquent tax lists in the newspapers would te amconuiiuru. II M Esterlv. a member of the legal commutes of the Committee of On Hundred, resigned yesterday. He is dissatisfied with the committees drati of the prohibition bill, which forbids drug stores selling whisky. He de clares tliat the amendment adopted at the last election made exceptions for liquor to be used for medicinal pur poses and says that if the committee is to keep faith with the people the drug stores must be permitted to sell. The druggists themselves asked to b. prohibited, as they declare whisky Sever has been used legitimately as a medicine. Conrad P. Olson. Representative Iron. Multnomah County, returned es terdav from Coos County, where he passed a week on private business. He reports that the people down that way IVL ,,. to the Legislature to keep Its economy pledges. v S5 B. Vincent. Examiner for the Cor poration Department, is advocating the early Introduction in the Legislature of an appropriation bill to provide for an adequate exhibit of Oregon s min eral resources at the Panama-Pacitic Exposition. It Is understood that no fund from the S1T&.000 appropriated by the last Legislature to provide for an exhibit of Oregon's resources at the exposition Is available for a min eral exhibit, and that unless the forth coming Legislature makes suitable pr,o v?s?on for such an exhibit. Oregon will not take her place among the other mining states exhibiting at San Fran cisco. ' PERSONALMENTION. H. E. Barber, of Twin Falls, Is at the Imperial. C. R. Maddock. of Eugene.

BOND INTEREST LACKING Absence of Provision for $62,50-0 In Budget for Interstate Issue Cited. A formal letter from tne otate Tax Cemmission wjis received yesterday, advising the Multnomah County Board that no arrangements had been made in the state budget for $62,500 t pay the interest on the county bond issue of $1,250,000 for the construction of the interstate bridge. Under the county bonding act tne state is required to pay the interest on the county bonds. There is said to be a question, however, whether the state must pay this interest before the bridge is actually In operation. This question probably will be put to a test in the Supreme Court when the 1915 taxes have been collected. WOMAN FIGHTS OFFICER DEPlir SHKRIFF USDS PRKY AF TER LONG TL'al.n.
