RULE EVASION SCHEMED Proposal to Circumrcnt Vote o Submission of Bills PIscussrd. Senate Has Many Authors ot Measures and House Few. OITMFIA. Wash.. Feb. 6. (Special.) King Alcohol promises again to take the position of heaciliner on the bill to be 'presented by the 14th Washington Legislature next week. Word from Se attle is thnt a third anti-prohibition measure in being prepared for early in troduction, and that a final effort will be made to obtain a vote of the Legis lature to set a special election before the prohibition law adopted last Xo vernier can become effective, next January 1. While, on its face, the special elec tion plan would seem barred by the action taken by the Legislature two weeks ago. the liquor men see two loopholes of escape from this conclu sion. One lies in the language of the Joint anti-special election resolution, which declares against submission of Initiative measure No. IS or any other measure "in connection therewith" at special election. While this was gen erally interpreted, as meaning that the Legislature had rejected the special election plan on all sides. It Is pointed out that the resolution was carefully worded so that It would bar only No. IS or an alternate measure. The meas ure to be proposed, it is said, will be Introduced as an entirely new and sep arate bill, and not as an alternate for No. 18 or in any way "in connection therewith." Tax Planned Par Bill. The other hope of the liquor men lies In the fact that economy was the prin cipal argument used in the Legislature in favor of the anti-special election res olution when that measure was adopt ed. This is an economical session and anything that might possibly be con strued by the people at home aa an extravagant expenditure is doomed from the start. Special elections are costly luxuries. According to a member of the Senate, the plan proposed will be for the pres ent session of the Legislature to levy a heavy excise tax upon all malt and spirituous liquor manufactured or sold In the state, a tax sufficiently high to raise, before next November, money to meet all expenses of a, special elec tion. In ase the legislature should definitely decline to call a special elec tion on any phase of the liquor ques tion, the anti-prohibition advocates probably will ask that, at any rate, their new bill be submitted at the next general election along with Initiative No. IS. The proposed amendments to the Initiative and referendum act. pro hibiting the circulation of petitions. will, if adopted, mako it much more difficult for the liquor men to obtain the required 82,000 signatures to submit a proposal on the ballot than It waaj for the prohibitionists last year under the existing law. While the liquor issue has not raised its head above the surface for two weeks, subterranean rumblings have testified to the fact that it is by no means dead. Nobody, apparently. Is much In favor of initiative No. 18, which is the only liquor measure sure of Eoinjr before the people, but which is loosely drawn and open to attack from various sources. Senate bill No. 33, which would allow a limited number of saloons under local option, is regarded 'by many of the anti-prohlbitionista as a bud bill to make an Issue. The vote by which this state adopted the initiative act last November is in terpreted generally, as an anti-saloon vote. If not a real antl-liquor vote, and any measure to have a chance for suc cess, this element of the wets believes, must count on the elimination of the open saloon as it at present exists. To meet these various objections to the two present antl-prohibitlon measures will be the aim of the proposed liquor bill. The coming week, the fifth of the session, promises to see the real legis lative grind started by both houses. During the first iO days organization and the preliminary phases of the liquor question absorbed general at tention. During the last week the de velopment ef the patronage fight with Governor Lister made partisan politics the Issue to the exclusion or otner business. Now that has been cleared out of the way in the House and that body Is showing a disposition to do seme hard work. GREAT TASK FACES SENATE THIS WEEK Report of Joint Committee on Consolidations and Aboli tions Is Foremost. Senate Hopper Bney. The House organization is continuing to exercise its influence to discourage the Introduction of useless bills, with the result that only 108 have been In troduced. At the same time in the last session the House had 397 bills 'intro duced. More than half the members of the House have Introduced no measures whatever. The Senate Is running true to form with its usual large bill production With less than half the membership of the House more than twice the number of bills have been introduced. Tho Sen ate has gone farther than the House in the work of actual legislation, how ever, having started its regular cal endar two days earlier. The Senate has had less partisan pol itics than the House to interfere with legislative work. Now that the Sle- Ardle bills shearing the Governor s Dowers and prerogatives are over from the House, the Senate may have to pay attention to partisan questions. Governor Lister has urged tne demo crats of both houses to make no at tempt to enforce the unit rule in tneir caucuses, indicating intention on tne part of the executive to make the Re publican caucuses, which have been reinstated as a legislative power at this session, a campaign Issue at the next election. One House Legislature Scheme. A plan for a unicameral state legis lature of 15 members, to replace tne present two houses with a total of 138 members. Is proposes in a dih prepareo. bv Representative Kobe, of Snohomish County. Progressive, tor introduction in the House Monday. The croDOsed 15-man legislature would be In session continually, under the Kobe plan, each member would draw 13000 annually, and would serve for six years. The plan la to elect three members from each Congres sional district, and to elect one member from each district every two years. The salary foil of the proposed legislature would be J90.0O0 for two years and with other expenses this would make the new plan cost about J165,000 biennially, about the expense of the 13-member Legislature now provided to meet 60 days every two years. Vancouver Han Jitney Bun. VANCOUVER, Wash., Feb. . (Spe cial.) a jitney bus from the ferry to the State School for the Deaf and Blind, and points east of the garrison, has started here. The trip - is made about every 35 minutes and a fare of 10 cents is charged. GILL FISH BILL ALSO NEAR Poll or Half or Upper House Shows No Opposition o Dry Act as Passed by House Compen sation Change Fends. ' STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Feb. 6. (Special.) With the most Important work of the session before it and ready for action, next week will be a busy one with the Senate. One of the first things to be given consideration will be the report of the joint committee on consolidation and abolition of boards and commissions. A report must be made Monday, and, according to members of the committee here today, one will be made, although another meeting, probably early lion day morning, will be held. While the House committee is reported to be an tagonistic to the programme of SGna tor Barrett, as virtually approved by the Senate committee, for the consolida tion of 40 or 50 departments and offloea Into 12. it was announced today that a compromise probably would be reached at the next meeting. The committee will have to prepare numerous bills to put its scheme of government Into operation. GUI Bill to Be Vp Monday. The Gill bill, which, as passed by the House, prohibits net fishing in the Wii lamette River above the mouth of the Clackamas River, will come before the Senate Monday for final action. Two reports have been submitted by the eommittee on fisheries one fixing the deadline at the suspension bridge. Ore gon City, and the other against the passage of the bill. The Oregon City fishermen have made a determined fight on the measure, declaring that Its passage would deprive that city and Clackamao County of from 150,000 to $75,000 a year. Senator Dimlck, of Ore gon City, Is leading the fight in the Senate for the fishermen, and thinks he will win. although he admits the de cision will be a clese one. Mr. Gill and Portland sportsmen, who are urging the passage of the measure, say its passage is necessary if the fish ing industry is to be preserved. They say the net fishermen now catch the fish before they reach their spawning ground, and that with a continuance of the practice it will not be long until the supply of fish is greatly reduced. It is further argued that catching sal mon with hook and line is a profitable as well as pleasurable business, and with the river protected from net fish ing hundreds of sportsmen will go to Oregon City, v Loss of Money Asserted. The money now made by the net fishermen, it is declared, will be small In comparison to that which the sports men with the fish protected will spend there. In answer to this argument the net fishermen declare that the sports men do not spend any money In that city; that they buy their tackle and other supplies in ' Portland, and even Ptake their lunches with them. A poll of the members of the Sen ate in Salem today did not reveal any antagonism to the prohibition bill passed in the House Saturday. Only about half of the members were here, but several of them expressed them selves as being convinced that the ab sent members would vote for th measure. Tliis does not mean that th Senate as a whole favors prohibition or all the provisions of the bill, but the members believe that the wishes o the people should be carried -out and that the House bill probably is as sat isfactory a measure as can be prepared at this session. If a. single Senator contemplates opposing the measure he has not so expressed himself. The bill, it is believed, will come up for final consideration not later than the mid die of the week. Two bills relating to fishing ii Rogue River are special orders for Monday afternoon in the Senate. They embrace questions which have been be fore the Legislature numerous times and apparently are impossible of set' tlement. A bill Introduced by Senator Smith, of Josephine County, extends the open season for commercial fishing in the stream, and one by Senator von der Hellen closes the river to commercial fishing above the mouth of the Illinois River. Compensation Act Considered. The Senate committee on insurance will consider tho Schuebel bill continu lng the present compensation act, with rearrangement and enlargement of classifications as regards hazards, passed by the House, and the Bingham bill, providing the Michigan form of compensation, Tuesday night, and be ready to report the latter part of the week. While the House, in passing the Schuebel bill. Indicated it might not favor the Bingham measure, Its author has not lost hope and is making a de termined fight for it. The bill provides for the appointment of one industrial accident commissioner to administer the law, and empowers casualty com panies, mutual insurance companies, the state and employers to provide com pensation. Employes pay no direct fees, but no compensation is provided for minor in juries unless the person is incapacitated for work for more than 14 days, when compensation starts. If incapacitated for more than a month, compensation starts at the time of sustaining the In jury. 10TE0 OEAO LIST BOYS OFF TO JOIN NAVY Two Go From Kidgefield, Wash. San Francisco. to VANCOUVER.

Allen Weir, Washington's first Sec retary of State and secretary of tho Washington Historical Society, has complied a list of more than 50 fa mous early settlers whose deaths have taken place in the last year. He has listed as "pioneers" those who came to the Pacific Northwest prior to 1860. Jacob Furth, the Seattle traction magnate and banker, who came west In 1854 and died recently at the age of 74, undoubtedly was the wealthiest and probably the best known of all. Mr. Furth had the distinction of being probably the only man ever exonerated by the Supreme Court of Washington after his death, the court recently having handed down a decision clear ing him from a bank wrecking charge. Orange Jacobs was probably the best known of the pioneers in public life, who died within the year. He went first to Oregon in 1852 and later moved to the Territory of Washington. He successively held the positions of Judge of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice, Delegate to Congress for two terms. Mayor of Seattle, Corporation Counsel, Superior Judge and member of the Legislature tinder statehood. He was twice elected president of the State Pioneers. E. N. Sarjent's History Tela. The summary, of the life of Elijah Nelson Sarjent, another of the pioneer dead, as compiled by Mr. Weir, reads ike a chapter of romantio adventure. Mr. Sarjent came to Thurston County 64 years ago to take up a donation claim near Grand Mound, but In 1853 Joined the gold-mining expedition to Queen Charlotte s Island. The schooner was wrecked and the survivors cap tured by a band of hostile Indians, who held them prisoners for two months. Mr. Sarjent later helped build the first house in Olympia. After his -return from the Queen Charlotte expedition he undertook the perilous task of crossing the Cascades through Natches Pass to pilot the first Immi grant train Into Seattle. Seeking still further adventures,- he served with distinction as an officer In the Indian wars of 18S5 and later returned to Thurston County to enter politics. He died at his home near Rochester last I-August at the age of 87. Martin Monohan, who died In Seat tle last September at the age of 64, was the oldest of the pioneers. He came to Oregon in 1843 and to Wash ington in 1871. J. A. Kaar A nether One. .Tames A. Karr. who died at North Yakima in November, was another noted pioneer. His widow, who sur vives him, was the daughter of Kl ka lian Walker, one of the missionaries with Marcus Whitman at Spokane in 1838, where she was born. Their daugh ter, Mrs. Ruth Kaar McKta, Is presi dent of the Washington Federation of Women's Clubs. Many women are included in Mr. Weir's list, which Is complete to Jan uary 1.
