Senator Burses aald he expected to
contribute to the economy of the next
legislature by not introducing a hill.
k' predicted that not half an many
, ouia would be introduced at the forth
coming; session as flooded the last aea
, awn, wnen nearly 1000 bills were
poured Intoithe legislative hopper.
- Ha and Representative ViWanfield
were of the aame opinion that the next
legislature must economize and It Is
"Up to the old members to see that the
number of bills and appropriations
l held down.
Irrigation Seeds Stated.
Senator Burgess said there were i
number of irrigation Drmivtii In hi
Section of the state which' were badly
in need of state aid, but he didn't know
that aid would be asked for any of
them at the next session of the leg
islature. lie said Representative J. T,
Jlinkle of Hermiston was the 'Irriga
tton member" of the delegation and
any legislation In behalf of irriga
tions would be presented by him.
. Representative Stanfleld declared
that tha eastern Oregon members o
the house wanted to oe the speaker
ship contest settled before the session
opens so the legislature can get down
to business without delay. He said
. tha question of speakership Would be
discussed by them at the meeting
called "to be held at La Grande next
Thursday.
"I think the general idea Is that a
Multnomah county man is expected to
e speaker," he nald, "but it Is my
'opinion that If the Multnomah dele
gation cannot agree on a candidate
that the eastern Oregon members will
give their support to the man who de-
i velops the most strength.
Bpaad la Urged. 4
'" . "It does not seem to be so much a
question as to which man Khali be
elected speaker aa It is a question of
getting the matter settled so as not
to Impede the work of t,hc session."
Tha La Grande meeting of the dele
gutionH from the surrounding counties
has been called primarily for the pur
Jose of considering proposed changes
tn the state game and fluh laws, but
Mr. Htanfield Said he understood pro
. posed legislation of any sort that any
member desires to bring up will be
considered.
There is nothing special that his
cotuty ;ta asking for unless it will be
' that the friends of the Weston Normal
will, request the legislature to make
' an appropriation for the reestabllsh
' npent -of the school. A measure for
i tiila purpose was defeated at Jhe re
; -nt election by a comparatively nar-
"row margin, and Mr. Stanfleld said
some of the friends of the Normal
probably feel Justified 1n asking the
j legislature to take action in support
of tha school.

TIMBER MEN DELINQUENT
State Forester F. E. Elliott this
morning reported to the county Com
missioners that (i27 owners of timber
land In this county have failed to pay
the cost of patrolling their land arid
asked that the cost be assessed and
collected with taxes for next year in
accordance with the statutory provis
ion. He reported that the patrolling
of lands in this county cost 1 cent per
acre. The report was. referred to
County Assessor Reed for recommen
dation. REALTY MAN IS ACCUSED
Money from the postal savings
banks of 81 Oregon postoffices will
be forwarded hereafter to the Port
land savings bank, according to in
formation Just received today by Post
master MyerB from Washington. The
change is necessary to conform to the
irovisiong of the recently operative
that all government money shall be j
deposited in banks that are members
of the reserve.
In the towns which are to forward
their funds to Portland, no such banks j
exist.
Postmaster Myers announced that
he will make every effort to deposit
all postal savings in qualified banks
as fiear as possible to the origin of
the funds, instead of placing them
in Portland depositories.
4-It is presumed," said Mr. Myers,
"that as soon as the towns affected
have qualified banks established that
the postal savings will be placed in
them and not remitted to Portland.
The new order means considerably
mdbe responsibility for the Portland
bank, and creates a crying need for
more room, a problem that can be
solved only by the construction of the
proposed postoffice building here. I
am in no position to state how much
money will be remitted by the postal
savings banks affected by the order."
