MANY LAWS ARE CREATED ffontinuefl From First Page.) Hate for personal use. Consignees re ceipts are made public records and ad vertising of liquors for shipment into the state and solicitation of orders are prohibited. Tiro Tax Bill" Important. Two tax measures of importance have een passed. One is the Bingham bill, which places a limit on the amount of yevenue that may be raised in any one year. The tax levying power may take the total levied for either of the two and exceed tnai nreredlnr years amount only 6 per cent unless au thorized to levy more by vote of the people. The other tax law divides the tax payments into two installments. If the first half Is not paid by April 5 it draws interest at 1 per cent a month. A penalty on unpaid taxes does not attach until November 5, when 5 per cent is added. The measures to consolidate and elim inate boards and departments are not numerous. The public accountancy ae partment has been eliminated. The corporation department and the Insur ance department have been merged, Highway Office Transferred. The highway engineers" department lias been transferred to the State En gineer's office, where It is expected a caving will be made principally in cost of maps and records and office and field forces. The immigration department haa been abolished. In connection with consolidation the epecial committee appointed to receive, consider and draft bills Is continued in existence. The compensation law has been amended In Important particulars. With depletion In sight of the fund set aside to pay Injured workmen a change in the law was a valid necessity. The amendments provide for several class! flcations of risks, change the rates dif ferent Industries shall pay into the fund, reduce the payments of employes and eliminate the section which gave the injured workmen choice of corapen ration or an action at law under the liability act In the event legal safe cuards had not been provided by the Of as broad consequences as much of the outstanding laws Is the resolu tion adopted by the Legislature de claring a state policy wun reumm... to water power. This resolution serts the state's ownership In the waters of streams and proclaims it of far greater value than the land through which the streams flow. This phase of the resolution Is directed at the Ferris bill, presented in Congress, which seeks to take advantage of the state's neces sities to -utilize Government lands In many instances in the development of water power. Oregon Secka Safeguard. The Ferris bill withholds for the Government one-half the lease r-.- nues from water powers. The urego" resolution declares that tne uo... ment'a Interest is so ran h-nlrl transfer lands bordering water t the states under restrictions that will guard against speculation and monopoly. The resolution also summons a r.t delegates irorn " - power states of the West.

Neither of these items was included In the programme of the. ways ana means committee. Both had been pro posed earlier in the session, but were held up temporarily, opponents con sidering them as obstacles in the path of the steam roller of economy. The Legislature eased up a little in Its economy stand late today and under the persuasion of friends of higher learning authorized the expenditure of money to erect a new building at the Monmouth Normal ocnooi. w lenc.c the congestion there, and made possi ble the erection of at least the first unit of a new medical school on tne property recently donated for tnat pur pose by the O.-W.
