SHORT TERM IS FAVORED '0 . lb snaussui rim i , Leaders Muke Effort to Restrict Business to Fair Legislation and Highway Regulation. Urging the shortest time possible for the special session of the legis lature, and consideration only of the subjects designated by the governor 1925 exposition ta'xatlon and, high way regulation Roy Ritner. presi dent of the state senate, held a con ference In Portland yesterday with a number of senate members. Louis K. Bean, speaker of the house, is also in Portland, gathering Information on which to prepare a Btate Income tax for financing the fair. Speaker Bean, like President Ritner, says he favors a short ses sion. Programme Being Formulated. There are two distinct llneg of thought developing relative to the session. One is to complete the work the week of December 19, and ad journ: the other Is to hold a divided session, meeting December 19 and ad journing to meet after New Years. In the matter of legislation there are also two programmes suggested, the first being to limit action exclu sively to the exposition and the high way legislation; the other Is to con sider any other measures of merit which may be presented. From the foregoing It Is apparent that the legislators are, not unani mous. There is a strong demand for the exposition and there are several plans proposed for the financing of ' the enterprise. Prospective I.cglMTatlun Rlnea. Already there is a formidable array of prospective legislation being ac cumulated. Here are some of the sub jects on which there is a prospect of one or more measures being Intro duced: Oregon 1925 exposition- finance measure. Original plan is for a gen eral state tax. Some ipembers wish to substitute a poll tax or a state in come tax. Regulation of trucks and passenger busses on the state highways. The Moser bill, vetoed at the 1921 regular session, covers some points. There Is a suggestion that the .Vloser bill be passed over the governor's veto and a supplementary bjll b offered covering extra compensation. State income tax measure, spon sored by the' state grange. The leg islature, it Is said, will be asked to refer this grange measure to the peo ple at the first special or general election. Measure to straighten out tha finances of Linn county by a refund ing measure, such as Crook county, was accorded. Pay Sought by Fannem. Compensation to farmers for flax sold the state and for which the farm ers have been unable to receive an acknowledgment which bank will ac cept as security. Increasing penalty for selling nar cotics, in order to curb this activity. Appropriation to- bring the battle ship Oregon to the Columbia river and maintain it. About 110,000. Abolition of trolling and prohibi tion of all "outside" fishing; that is, fishing in the open sea outside tha mouth of the Oregon rivers. Appropriation for repairs to the hatcheries and dams caused by the recent floods and snowstorms. Curative legislation to correct er rors made in a number of bills passed In the regular 1921 session. These errors were made in copying the bills Welfare Measure Included. Appropriations to cover items in curred by the stata.emergency board. Bill to authorize the federal gov ernment to give 10,000 to Oregon for Indigent children. This is to comply with the federal appropriation passed within the past few weeks. The foregoing are only a few of the measures now being discussed and they are a forerunner of what can be expected If the bars are 6nce let down There were 100 bills in the special Bession of 1920, all dumped into the legislative mill in its six days of grinding, and very few of the 100 measures were given consideration and careful thought. Up-state senators predominated at the conference held by President Rit ner apd in addition to thorn- present several others telegraphed and still others had given their proxy. I Short Session Is Advised. The president of the senate advised a short session, cleaning everything up In a week. Considerable criticism was directed at the governor for se lecting the pre-Christmas week for the meeting, senators declaring that the governor was trying to "put one over-" on them. A suggestion was ad vanced that enough' (senate and house members assemble December 19 to form a quorum and then take an ad journment until after the holidays, when all hands could settle down to Indefinite sojourn at Salem. Under this plan the members of eastern Oregon would be advised to remain at home for the December 19 call, thus saving themselves the ex pense of an extra trip. Kickback to He Avoided. Advocates of a divided session were Informed that such a proceeding would lend the legislators and not the governor to criticism, and the passage of a large number of bills for the governor to veto would not be putting the governor in a hole as mucli as such action would kick back on the legislature. Senators expressed themselves aa heartily In favor of the 1925 fair, but there was a difference of opinion in the manner of .financing It. Senator Moser explained that a committee in now drafting a fair measure to bo submitted to the legislature, in which provision Is made for a state board, consisting of five members from each congressional district, to conduct th exposition. Portland Vote Held Mnndaf. Senator Staples voiced the opinion and belief of Multnomah senators and represer' ttlvaa that the vote of 4 to 1 in Portlaivl for the fair is a mandate which the Multnomah members can not evade. Although he wrote to John B. Yeon. state highway commissioner and member of the specia- committee ap pointed by the governor to gather material for the session on highway regulation. Senator Hall proposed that the Moser Jitney bill W carried over the governor's veto. Senator Moser caught the Idea and gave a dis sertation on the fine points of his measure, but Senator Bell disliked th idea of haying the public service com mission act as the governing agency for the Jitney and truck law. Several of the local and up-state senators voiced their readiness to SMLb3 ' WlX stand pat on two subjects only the exposition and the highway regula tion but declared that they will not sign a pledge to that effect; some thing jnay come up which might merit Attention, whereupon In can vassing the situation a number of the senators confesed that they have bills which they would like to pre sent If the occasion is auspicious, and each of these measures, the sponsor assured, were meritorious and "a step In the right direction."
