We can take up the question at thev point reached by them and save many dollars that would be lost in experiment. .: Moreover their ell matlo conditions are similar to ours and by the way this matter of climate is a most Important factor .In building roads." The Multnomah county officials' ob servation extended over quite a terri tory and they examined several kinds of hard surface pavement. - On this point Mr. Holman said: "We found that the vitrified brick surface wis giving- the" mot general - BBtiefffG tlonv Many miles, of It have been laid extending way out in the -country. As you know the agricultural country sur rounding Seattle is much farther away from the center "than la the productive land - around Portland. Consequently long stretches of hard surfaced road are required. This requires a large ex penditure of money." - : i "A concrete example of the value of good roads'," continued Mr. tlo'.:t;a.

Most of them the prevalent practice of . considering hundreds of bills in sessions of from 60 to 90 days' duration. Mr. Miller pointed out that the state of New York in 1804-5 added 1610 laws to the statute books of that state; Illinois and Ne braska added 800 laws in a like period; did and reported that we had the best while at the last session of the Oregon they ever saw, -1 Di M.

Oregon that made up hastily conceived enactments. Leglsla- features of the show. Mr, Duryea in particular, though he la a booster for southern Oregon, made strong talks for Portland at every opportunity. Mr. Chapman believes that if Oregon shows next year at the land show; she should have duplicate exhibits, one at the Bhow Itself and -one at the Interna tional livestock show, which holds forth at the same time. As it was this year, hundreds of the visitors to the stock show attended the land show, but many , tures are frequently called in extra session to correct their mistakes. . "The average legislator has but little or no experience In the law making line and therefore Is at a great disadvantage. He is unaccustomed to -parliamentary tactics, h,e is not capable of, drafting a bill ' and the few' men wbo ., are drilled in that line take advantage of the sit uatlon and men become confused or at a loss to know how to vote, and fre quently vote opposite from what , they .i. .., i ,.. .v.. .n-f I really want to. uiu uui eiiiu ga uvii itDtwiv nam uie sw .mu, , . . . a. . r.-AM m aaHo I io auena 10 leffismuon Bucceiuiiy One result of the system of checking "L r ,CZrkn,. up on inquirers for information i at the , , t f ,h quegtlon.

Mr. Miller commended highly the leg islative reference- library, inaugurated and so successfully developed by the state of Wisconsin.

Limitation of the number of bills to be Introduced at a single session and split sessions where the members con vene at one time for the Introduction of bills and then adjourn for 60 days be fore reconvening for consideration and passage or rejection of the measures, was likewise proposed. Under this scheme no new legislation would be in- troduced at the second half of the ses sion.
