The opposition of the lords to the budget with Its Very radical provisions Is well known, and It Is expected that the body will reject it and thus usher In a crisis. It Is not only ser iously rropoeed, bat several of the great tory newspapers are ardently nrirlBg that Instead of the usual dls 2acion. of parliament, the issue bt rubmftted to the people la the form tt the referendum.

It is the Welch road and its promoters relate! that they are to build from Salem t$ Eu gene ' Via Albany, Peoria, Junction and other intervening points. At Salem it is to connect ' with the United Railways for access to Port land, and from Eugene other ex tensions are to be bnilt." Power for the purpose Is owned' by the Welch company In the Cascades east of .u gene. Light and. power plants are owned by the same company in Cor vaiiis. Albanv. Eugene and other principal Willamette valley clues. The plant for supplying this power would obviously be a plant for rail road power, and the program ror combining the two activities is a natural order." Incidentally, the same corporation Owns power and light plants as well as water privi leges ia eastern Oregon and other sections, and recently merged Jnto a corporation ,of several' millions cap ital. If it carries out Its announced program it will enter Into large fac torship in the - transportation ar falrs of Oregon. Whether the Salem-Eugene line shall be built or not it may be set down as certain that a vast network of electric line will ultimately thread the Willamette valley as well as many parts of eastern Oregon.

Four clties Wichita, Independence, Hutchinson and Anthony adopted the commis sion form and elected commission ers last April. Only one city, Win- field, voted against it. Kansas City, Topeka, Parsons and Coffeyyllle ex pect to adopt it next month, and Ot tawa, Lawrence and Salinas are pre paring to vote on it next year. The prevailing impression is that nearly if not quite all these cities will vote in favor of the commission plan. Kansas City, the largest city lit the state, will have the Initiative and referendum and the recall. In the main 'the commission system ' as legalized in Kansas gives municipal ities the power to regulate corpora tions, and adopts the initiative and non-partisan elections. ' The recall applies only to the larger cities.
