The first business of Importance to come before the legislature which convened here to day In biennial, session will be the con sideration of several measures put for ward with the view of limiting the pow er of the courts to punish for construc tive contempt. Resentment against the action of Judge Gilliam In sentencing two editors of the Seattle Star to Jail because they criticised him for Issuing an injunction recently Is responsible for the movement. Judge Gilliam held that the editors were in contempt because they published tha criticisms while the action was still pending. The court had Issued a restraining order on the appli cation of the 8tone-Webster Traction company, which had raised Its rates. The document enjoined all patrons of the company from raising a disturbance while aboard the streetcars. As a re sult of this decision practnally all of the anuria junction measures are so drawn as to curb the arbitrary power of the courts to punish for criticisms made outside of tha courtroom. Another matter of Importance will be a proposal to restore the nomination of the justices of the supreme court to the direct vote of the people. This privi lege was taken away during a special session of the legislature in 1909. - According to present Indications the initiative and referendum will be taken up and an attempt made to pass the measures which have proved so popular In Oregon. , . Advocates of the direct election of United State senators , will likewise make a fight for the passage of a law that, will bind a legislative candidate to vots for the candidate who received the pdpnlar1hdr9menrforthrsenatorship at the preceding election. v P i-i Labor interests will present several measures for action.
