In addition to the six good roads billj drafted by Governor West's "harmony commis3ion," the State Grange will resort to the initiative and propose two bills prescribing a method for highway construction. Petitions for all eight measures are now being circulated throughout the state for signatures. Two important commissions were created by the last session of the Legislature. One was formed to revise the judicial system of the state, and the other to make a revision of the laws of taxation. The two commissions were ap pointed by Governor West. The judiciary commission expects to submit two measures, while the taxation commission probably will propose six or seven bills. W. S. U'Ren. E. J. S. McAUis ter, H. D. Wagnon, A. D. Cridge and others will submit a single tax amendment to the constitu tion. It is proposed in the guise of graduate scale of taxation on the valuation of franchises held by public service corporations The People's Power League has completed the preliminary draft of what amounts to a wholesale revision of the Legisla tive, Executive and Administra tive Departments of the state government. It embraces the U'Ren cabinet form of govern ment, proportional representa tion and other drastic changes in the present order of state and county government. Urged by the Oregon State federation of Labor, three or four initiative measures will be proposed, all calculated to im prove conditions for laboring peppo. One of these proposed bills fixes $2.50 a day as the minimum wacro that shall bo paid for labor, in the state. Another mposes an eight-hour work-day for all classes of laborers em ployed by the county or stale The legislative committee of the Central Labor Council has been directed to prepare initiative measures amending the law creat- ing the Port of Portland so as to give the people a more direct voice in electing and removing the members of the commission and changing the present law under which the Eoardof Educa tion operates. Similar initiative legislation is being considered and probably will be proposed by the Civic Council Initiative petitions are being circulated for constitutional amendments abolishing capital punishment and placing the State Printer on a flat salary. The last Legislature enacted a law of this nature, effective at the termination of the incumbent's '.term, but the purpose of the pro posed amendment is to have the constitutional amendment go into effect at once. Complaining that the em ployer's liability law, enacted by by the people under the initia tive two years ago, is proving too drastic in its operation, em ployers of labor are preparing a workmen's compensation act to be submitted under the initia tive A similar bill is being drafted by-a special commission, an pointed by Governor West, con sisting of representatives of the State Federation of Labor, the State Grange and the mnufact . r ui lu a.
