HEW LAWS AFFECT ENTIRE STATE BODY Social. Industrial and Politi cal Life in Oregon Con cerned in Action. NOT HALF OF BILLS PASS House Files 515 Measures and Sen ate 313 Drj- Statute and Tax Pajment Act Considered Most Important. 20. al- 6TATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or, Feb Legislation affecting most every element of the state's so cial, industrial and political life was enacted at the 2Sth session of the Ore gon Legislature. Although 513 bills were introduced ih TiniK. nnrl 213 in the Senate nii r S2S fewer than half this number hare gone to the office of the Governor for signature. The otnera found their eternal sleep in the various parliamentary graves provided for that purpose. Those measures tnatn were pa in the early part of the session were in. ' j ' " - - - -: I Kir tUa flnvemnr. an J.TUII1P LI y O Ift I'l't - - I several that carried emergency clauses now have become laws. However, in the past few days the flood of bills pouring into the Governor's office has been of such a volume that he has not attempted to approve any excepting those appropriating funds to pay the expenses of the legislative sessiuu. Governor Scrutinises All. Governor Withycombe has consistent .......... Aa rn.Hcu rf reading- care- i y puisucu J - " fullv every measure that comes to his desk. In the rush and excitement at tending the close of the session It has been Impossible to do this and he will take his time about attaching his sig nature to the numerous enrolled bills now under consideration. The Governor had gone through this session wlinoui vetoing a music i hin omA ia him that he did not entirely approve of he called in the author ana suggested cnanseii. : - L. I . 1. i. .. r. rni li Q IT n hMII maA- Hriui; iucbo vinnBvo .. . . - This was notably true in the case of House bill 14, introduced by Repre sentative Kellv. of The Dalles. It v.n.l,lafl fn roatrtrntinn tf thp tax collecting power from the County Treasurers to the Sheriffs. As It nnany . . - i. v . V. 1 K Kill went inrouK" uoni nuuoca whi rled an emergency clause. Inasmuch as l n e tjovernor was oppuawi i uocod. use of the emergency provision, he pre vailed upon both houses to remove the clause on this bill. - Dry Art Placed First. Probably the most Important official act of the Legislature and the execu tive was enactment of a prohibition law. Although it was impossible to please all elements of society affected . by prohibition. Governor Withycombe declared when he signe dthe bill last Wednesday thathe considers it the best piece of legislation ever enacted. He expressed his unqualified approval of every provision of the bill. The law will become effective January. 1916. in acordance with the constitutional amendment adopted by the people last Fall. Another measure of state-wide in terest is the new tax law which changes the time of payinx taxes and fixes the dates on April 5 and October 6. A penalty of 1 per cent a month is pro vided for delinquencies and an addi tional penalty of 6 per cent on all de linquencies November 6. The Senate tacked on an amendment requiring yet another penalty of 2 per cent on one half of the taxes due if none were paid April 5. but the House refused to con cur and the Senate yielded. Game law revision and reorganization of the State Game and Fish Commission also are considered among the impor tant enactments of the session. Tax-Levying- Caarsre Potent. The Bingham bill placing a limit upon the tax-levying power of the state districts and county's is consid ered one of the most Important meas ures initiated in the Senate and passed by both houses. It is intended to work as a check on various tax-levying offi cials and will, it is believed, lead to establishment of a budget system throughout the state. Its author be lieves it will have a tendency to keep the state, district and county levies with the 6 per cent increase allowed over previous levies. For school or road districts that may require more funds to make improvements a method is provided whereby a majority of the voters elect to do so. An Important Senate bill is that giv ing the farmers the right to organise banks under the state laws. It is thought this will make money easier for them, and at the same time pro vide convenient banking- facilities. It Is a step toward the rural credits sys tem. The bill allowing counties to combine to build roads is another im portant Senate measure which, it is thought, will aid materially the move for better roads throughout the state. LEGISLATURE IS DECRIED Miss Rankin Tells CTric League So lons "Sat Down on Women." Although the present Legislature probably had the best opportunity to go down in history as the best Legisla ture ever assembled in the United States. I think that it failed to achieve this distinction. Practically all the members of the Legislature received part of the votes that put them in office from the women: we had one woman in the Senate and one woman Jn the House, but the present Legisla ture, I think, sat down harder on the women and the boys and girls of the state than any other Legislature." This was the substance of Nettie Mae Hankin's remarks upon the Oregon Legislature at the close of the lunch eon of the Civic League at the Mult nomah Hotel yesterday noon. Miss Rankin declared that the whole ses sion had been one where "politics" was plaved and that little attention was paid to any of the real merits of the measures presented. The guests of honor and speakers of the day were Postmaster Myers and Immigration Inspector J. . H. Barbour, who explained the new system devised by the Postoffice Department for the purpose of bringing employers and ' those seeking work in touch with one another by means of blanks obtained from the postoffices and filed with the Immigration Inspector. Lew Shank. ex-Mayor of Indianapo lis, now at the Empress Theater, gave short talk. j Willie Knew. V(Judge.) Taps (concealing something in his hand! Willie, can you tell me what it la with heads on one side and tails on the other? Willie (triumphantly)-r-Oh, I know! It's a rooster on a, fence!
