"Ths mayir and police offlclaTa of this

that the only way to restrict gaipblldg
Is to-prohibit. Prohibition of gambling
may not abolish and eliminate all -gam
bling, but It will restrict gambling. Restriction-does
everything but restrict; it
'regulates chiefly tb profits of .some
body or somebodies. , Becaus auppres
sloa of gambling Is Impossible Is no
reason f op wf raining from repression.
Gambling. JT not auppreaaable, ia re-

not auppreaaable, but are none th ieeen Tin-order -to seapb -veto the

thonah It calls Itself "regulation!
"Uur statute-books are loaded with
obsolete laws, some no longer enforced
and enforceable, and some never Intended
to be enforced. Jjeaoietter laws qeaaen
the spirit of ths civic snd political con
science. The legislature can perform no

Dr. Wise concluded by urging that the

of tb lawlessness that obtains .foday la
through s renewal 01 the restraint or
conscience, which st on and ths same
time leads to self-respect and to respect
for tha lishts of 'others 'end he held
that respect for others was but another

It Is stated that -there will, b no

reached last night after a consultation
of cabinet member a : Accordingly Post-maater-Oenerat

LEGISLATURE-OP
BIG EXPENSES
(Continued from Pag One)
Kvery one of the . dounty division
projects met defeat. - The hardest .light
was that made for the" creation of Cas
cade county from the western part of
waaco county, and Jayn mad a gal
lant fight to carry th bill through. In
th house he was successful, and If the
bill could have been tried out en. the
senate upon Its merits it probably
would have become a law. But politics
Intervened, ' and when the Republican
machine took up the bill and under-'
took to force ita passage, -the opposi
tion instantly ao 11 dined and Democrats
and anti-machine Republicans united to
defeat. 1L .
-Much bitterness waa engendered by
tne-ngnt over th bin to create Hot
Lake county, and a political vendetta
has been '.inaugurated ' that . will un
doubtedly (bear fruit.., The demla of
the Jefferson "county bllL occurred
earlier In , th seeslon, and was vcaa
paratlvely peaceful.
Neither -the. railroads nor th large
oorporatlons have much occasion to com
plain of ths results of ths session. Their
Intervals did not suffer. 'Smith of Jo
sephine Introduced a number of bills to
restrict and regulate railroads and rail
road charge, but even hi vehement elo
quence could not secare their passage.
Killlngsworth of Multnomah accom
plished ths passag of hla bill compelling
trunk lines -to make reasonable rates for
the transfer of cars and freight from
tributary lines, but In its practical re
sults It la eaid that the bill wlU make no
material change 4m existing oondltlona
. ' Plat Salary Xaw,
; After many years of effort and of tin
redeemed pledges- tit legislature enacted
a flat salary law, though It will not take
effects until 1107. . In the meantime the
extravagant compensation of ths state
treasurer and the secretary of state will
continue. Tb atata printer, not being a
constitutional officer, was not included
In th bill, and. it was left to a future
legislature to curtau the pronts of his
omca - j - -v t
Ons of the notable events of th
Slon was ths determined stand taken by
Governor Chamberlain In defenae of th
referendum.. 'His warning 4o th legis
laturs that h would veto bills carry
ing ths emergency claus when no
emergency existed, bore substantial
fruit In the cloning hours of ths session.
Lgeneral appropriation bill was amended
so - as to strlks . out th objectionable
clausa This bill carried tha appropria
tions or the norm a 1 schools, snd. 1ft is
poaalbl that tha referendum may be lrv

contended by some, it Is applicable to
In. one bill.

f- The creation of a tag oommissloa to
prepare a-tax eode for submission to ths
next legislature was made-the excuae
for rejecting Sonnemann's bill, imposing
a-1 per cent tax on the gross earnings
of telephone, telegraph and Pullman
sleeping car companies.
To the people of Portland the bills In
troduced by Hills and Colwell, provid

mitted to the voters of th city at th
June . election. ' are of especial Interest.
Ths bill providing for the issuing of
bonds by the city of Portland with
which to purchase parks was killed by
the opposition of members of th Mult
nomah delegation.
The creation of the Malheur Irriga

measures passed.

In. the dosing hours ef the session was!
