Salem, Or., Feb. IS.- The senate's val entine to Governor West was presented last yesterday afternoon, when the first bill he has vetoed this session, and the only one so far vetoed, failed to receive the two thirds necessary, to make It a law.-. -. "-"-r" r':f;;'rf;f: v'Wi'i -: Incidentally, the vote surprised some of those who play-In and out of season to "put the governor In a hole." This favorite pastime of a few ot the sena tors met a severe shock when the. vote showed. 17 ayes, 12 noes, and 19 votes being required. The bill In question was one of no great ' importance. In ' the house it was passed over the veto with only one dfssentin g- vofcet - But friends f the governor realized that' certain schemers who have been trying to discredit the governor would make capital out of the vote if the senate also passed the bill along. ! In this they were assisted by several other eenators, who consider it a inlsuke on such petty legislation to override the" veto f the executive., . In other words. It was difficult, to dignify the bill of Representative Mann, which proposed that circuit judges may give the substance ot certain statutes to grand juries in their own language in stead of reading the statutes in toto, Into such importance that there was any crying need of making it an "Issue" and to insist upon its enactment over scores of bills of feal 1 importance that the legislature might spend its time consid ering. ;.HV-K-.-''-;-v:'-Vr' -."

JOINT SESSION TO BLL ; VACANCIES ON PORT? liSilu WMSM LOOK E; THEY'RE ALL JN IT NOW When Deadline -S6t, by Senate Comes-at Midnight, Scores of Bills Must Perish . (Siloio Baretu ot Tbe Jngrosl.) Salem. Or., Feb. 16-When the clock hands in the -state capitol meet at 11 tonight, somebody is 'going to be deep ly lh , the .Jjole"; and ; it 1 will , not , be Governor West. . r- . None of the earnest gentlemen la the bouse who .haver- been, striving to put the governor in the mysterious 'hole" that has come to be the by-word of thi legislative - session haa ever ex plained the full Import of the subtle phrase. But those whose favorite bills fall to reach the senate by the midnight deadline will he able to explain all about it tonight Here are some figure that show WhTTT . -....-Ui.S . ix There are Just 830 bills on the cal endar' for the house to dispose of today in order to have them considered by the senate. Each one of these, bills nas a fond parent somewhere in,: the house watching over It with tender eolicitude. A. Hon rail . of, Tlngerllngs. 1 -Of tliese bills, 137 are on third read ing, or up for passage. Of. the rest well, . 183 are atill in the hand of com-' mltteea lhat have not yet reported them out' Some, of course, are elated to die there, but most of them will be liberated sometime during . the' day to struggle for life. . Thirty others .have: not even reached the stage of getting into the committees, let alone out of them. if it were possible for tne nouse to day to dispose of one bill . every five minutes without a pause or letups it would take Just 1650 minutes to clear the desk. And that Is 27 hours, which Is considerably more time than is left between now and midnight ; But of course it -Is a physical and a mental impossibility to take 330 bills and kill . them or pass them. i Wye minute apiece. It will take nearer, to half an hour apiece as a general aver age, for aome of these measure will not slide through, even in. this time of stress, without sharp debate. Especial ly, when there Is a little -matter of between $8,000,000 and $9,000,000 in ap propriation to be passed on, to say nothing of such strife stirring bill a the blue sky measure and the repeal of the state printer flat salary law, ' 65 Bills XllUng Job. Rolling along at top ' apeed, .with every body turning in to, form-Che united steam roller and, hurry things along, the house in -the whole of yes terday disposed Of 86 bills. And. when it got through near midnight, everybody was so nearly dead tired that the origin al decision to stay and work until one ortw o'clock was dropped. All - the weary members of the house wanted to do - by the time they had disposed of 5 roeasu sleep for a hundred years. Of the 65 measures, 43 .were passed, five were . killed, . and one was indefi nitely postponed. Sixteen, were with drawn, which means they were not con sidered at alt. So with all ateam on. tbe house really was able to pass On The prospect ior passing ou iwy is therefore not bright enough to dazzle any legislator. ,The question, who is "In the hole" can safely be answered, ?Not Oovernor; West" . Innocent Bolons Suffer Too. The house may work all night tomor row and until dawn of Sunday. The hands of the senate clock will be turned back before they get a chance to reach midnight, and thus time will be cheated somewhat But it cannot without a, miracle dispose "of 330 bills. Those not in the official steam roller must suffer wUh the rest As for the senate, its members who are almost up with their work seem to be perfectly satisfied with the situa tion, and not at an inciinea xo reieni end extend the time.
