Campaign to Start January 2 An- noitncecl by League Nebraska Wives Resume Fight. I News, a dally newspaper published i by collage students, will make Its nrst appearance at 7:30 Monday ntornlng. The programme for the week will be printed In the -first Issue and each day's programme in the editions following. Entertainment is planned for each evening of the week. Assemblies will be held in one of the gymnasiums. Friday evening is the date set for the annual "college products banquet." SAX FRANCISCO. Dec. 27. In an effort to bring down the prices of eggs and milk in San Francisco, the Housewives' league will boycott eggs The elder five were and ice creom for a period of 30 days. beginning January 2, executives of the league announced today. It was decided not to boycott milk directly as it is needed for babies, but the restriction of Ice cream consump tion wis figured on to make milk more plentiful. and consequently cheaper to the homes. Thousands of dollars will be rolled up against the taxpayers at the com ing special session of the legislature, for the signs point to a protracted assembly. A few members are figur ing on how they can stem the rising tide of prospeotve bills, but the task appears almost hopeless. There is a certain percentage of members who welcome the special session for the opportunity it af fords to jamb through some pet meas ures, while others like "the game," and between these two elements there Is a likelihood of a session of at least two weeks' duration if not longer, un less something Is done to hold the solons down to essentials. In the matter of essentials, there is a wide latitude of opinion, for each member with a bill to introduce has plausible argument to show that its passage is essential to the public wel fare. Game Commission Rorr Fends. Already there lpoms a wordy and time-killing row over the state fish and game commission and its affairs. The opponents of the personnel of the present commission are active lobby ists and they are ready to put up a fight to carry their point whatever it may be. The W. L Finley Incident may possibly be projected into the legislative halls and someone may want to create a job lor the state biologist with the Oregon Agricul tural college, the University of Ore gon or the State Fair association. If the opponents of the state fish and game commission have their way, not less than two days or more will be required to deal with the topics they raise. The gasoline question, whether the state should repeal the statute re quiring a certain specific gravity, will be good for a day of persiflage. While the proposed $5,000,000 road bond bill has an abundance of supporters, its passage will require time, for there are a few members who object to bonds on principle and they will want to revamp their arguments of the regular session of 1919. Irrigation Action to Be ITrged. .Just before the legislature meets there will be a session of the irriga tion congress, when resolutions will be adopted petitioning the legislature to enact Irrigation legislation. This will also require time for considera tion at Salem. Then there will be the game farm legislation, court of do mestic relations matter arid sundry and divers other subjects which will be introduced, referred to committees, debated in committees, debated on the floor, passed on to the house or sen ate, as the case may be, and the same monotonous routine gone through again. It all will consume time, and all the time the legislature will be in session the bill of expense will be rolling up against the taxpayers. The organizations of house and senate in the regular session last January and February were such that there was no disposition to hurry proceedings. Neither Speaker Jones nor President Vinton is a "driver" and unless the presiding officers have a firm hold over the members there will be a disposition to loll along and cloture rules will be more honored in the breach than the observance. Session Promise) to He LonR. On top of all these things is the impelling desire of some members to make medicine for their campaign in the primaries. It will be a chance to garner publicity and get their names well established in the minds of their constituents less than four months before the votes are to be cast. No one who has taken the trouble to make a cursory survey of what is afoot has failed to arrive at the con clusion that the special session prom ises to be long, expensive and filled with politics. Executive heads of the republican party in the state and Multnomah county have decided to hold a "get together" Lincoln day banquet in Portland. Thursday, February 12. Ralph E.

McKelvle had promised them co-operation in a state-wide fight against the high cost of living. MAIMY-HUED CASE ENDED Criminal Charge, Involving Several Colors, Ordered Dismissed.
