il. It. 3B. by Uituer To create board of
ed such an amendment, lie asked for
the amendment as a means of enabling
him tot ace that the prohibition laws,
are enforced. The 1913 law is prac
tlcally j useless.
In aii effort to meet the opposition
to the amendment It is being redrafted
by Attorney General Brown, who
strongly urges the need of such legis
lation, so as to make the power to be
Conferred upon the governor less ar
bitrary. Even then the resoluition Will
have bumpeiB ahead. And Indications
are that the governor will give it. but
little, If any, support.
Two pieces of legislation of great
Interest to the state are the bill intro
duced Friday in the house by Repre
sentative Forbes for the ratification
of the lease of Sumner and Abert
lakes by the state to Jason C. Moore,
and the bill introduced in the senate
by Senator Butler, providing for the
creation of public utility districts. A
measure similar to the Butler bill has
also been introduced in the house. The
opposition to the lease of the lakes
apparently has made bu,t little head
way with the members of the senate
and house public lands committees, be
fore whom hearings were held. It
seems certain, .unless some unforeseen
development takes place or greater in
fluence is brought to bear, that the
lease will be ratified
; Big Business Will Enthroned.
The bills providing for the creation
of public utility districts, which is in
tended to promote the development and
use of hydro-electric power, have the
opposition of the powerful electric pow
er companies.
This may be sufficient to kill the
bills, as big business is pretty w-ell en
throned in the senate. Big business is
also well represented In the house, as
is indicated by the fervent protest made
there today by Representative Oscar

Home against the manner in which
bills affecting labor are brusnea asiae.
Organized labor is greatly inter
ested In the preservation of the work
men's compensation law. Two .years
ago it was more hostile than friendly
to the law then being enacted, but
now it is backing the present law and
the amendments proposed by the mem
bers of the industrial accident com
mission. These amendments will make
the law more workable, as they will
provide for a greater classification of
rates and industries-. Other changes
are proposed by the commission which
it is believed will increase the ef
fectiveness of the law.
Ho Opportunity for Test.
The casualty companies, whose
agents have fought the law from the
beginning, are doing all in their pow
er to destroy the present law and have
enacted in its place one that will give
very large control of the situation to
the- casualty companies. Senator
Bingham Is sponser for the bill they
want enacted. There has been no op
portunity as yet for a test vote by
which to determine the reception his
bill is to receive.
Senator Bingham- has also intro
duced . andther bill bearing on com
pensation insurance. This is senate
bill 107, which Insurance men say
will open the state to all foreign mu
tual companies to write compensation
insurance. This is declared to be the
Joker in the bill, which is said to be
dangerous by those who believe in
compensation insurance backed by the
state,
The prohibition bill as amended by
the joint committees on alcoholic traf
fic is considered to be -a good "dry"
bill and is pretty certain to pass with
out further material amendment.
Highway legislation is yet a very
uncertain proposition. The sentiment
seems general that a fairly liberal
mlllage tax should be. voted for state
aid in road construction. Some of the
members think & one-fourth mill tax,
which was the amount authorized two
years ago, is sufficient, others say
that a half mill levy would be about
right, while many others think tbat
a levy of one mill should be voted.
Representative Sam Brown, of Marion,
has Introduced a bill providing for a
one mill levy. This bill provides that
in highway construction the state shall
assist to the extent of 40 per cent of
thejiost, the county 40 per cent and
the owners of abutting property 20
per cent. This bill has the backing of
the state aid enthusiasts.
One Kill Xrry Pavored.
Chairmen of the two road commit
tees are in favor of at least a one
mill levy.
Probably no other matter has at
tracted more attention and brought
more people to the capital than legis
lation relating to. the state fish and
game commission and the state game
protection fund. No less than six bills
have been Introduced to either abolish,
reorganize, or change the state fish
and game commission. . Th hv.
been Introduced by Senator Wood and
Representatives Davey, Schuebel, Vaw
ter, Anderson of Clatsop and Ritner.
It seems likely that the warring in
terests will get together on a compro--mise
bill. One faction' insists that the
game fund should go into the general
fund of the state, and that the fish
and game commission should look to
the legislature for appropriations to
carry on its work. The sportsmen con
tend tbat the meney collected for hunt
ing and fishing licenses should be used
exclusively for the protection and
propagation of -fish and game.
. Ritner's measure, which may be the
basis of the compromise bill, provides
for a new commission of three, mem
bers -to be appointed by the governor,
and be subject to removal at the pleas
ure of the chief executive. It provides
that the hunting and fishing license
funds shall go Into the general fund of
the state, but that the commission is
to be credited on the state treasurer's
books for the full amount.' The com
mission may draw upon this account to
carry on Its work as it now does. But
in tbe event the general state fund
becomes exhausted, as it occasionally
does under present conditions; the fish
and game commission, regardless of
the amount" standing to its credit in

Xeaanra Crrantlas; WiTea Joint Znter-
est in Property Acquired After
Marriage, Kits Snag.
(Salem Bnreaa of Tbe Jo-.rnal.)
Salem, Orvfan. 30. This was a day
of toil for the solons of the lower
house. Sharp refusal to adjourn at
noon until Monday was the protest
of the upstaters, in which most of
the : Multnomah delegates and others
Who-llve close were forced to acqui
esce. As a consequence, while the
savants of the senate were taking their
leisure, the representatives hurried
through first and second readings of
bills, adopted committee reports that put
skids under- many measures, received
22 new bills positively the last batch,
and then jumped away to catch the
4 o'clock trains.
Representative HustonCs pet meas
ure granting wives a joint interest in
property acquired after marriage, was
the subject of a vigorous debate, the
judiciary committee having reported
adversely upon It. Mr. Huston declared
that of the several bills affecting wom
en he had introduced, his heart was in
this one the most. He insisted thai-It
is nothing but simple justice that such
a law go on the statutes and put th
legal seal upon the property, both hus
band and wife have .striven to secure.
Says It Is Coming-.
"It Is coming," he declared. "We
will be making a mistake losing our
golden opportunity, if we do not our
selves take the credit for putting this
law on tbe books. President Wilson
missed the greatest opportunity of his
career when he failed to send to con
gress a message recommending' uni
versal suffrage. Let us not miss an
opportunity Jike that."
The bill, after Vigorous debate waa
taken from the hands of the Judiciary
committee and referred to the commit
tee on revision of laws to insert amend
ments meeting objections that Mr. dl
son, Mr. Forbes and Mr. Schuebel found
to it in its present form. Mr. Schuebel
declared himself in favor of the prin
ciple but insisted that the present law
conveying estates in entirety is so far
superior to the community law that
comparison is futile. He held that the
attorney who draws tip deeds has the
privilege to embody in the document
the exact provisions of the community
idea and that 99 per cent of the men
for whom he hadaso acted had at his
suggestion included it.
Mr. Olson, chairman of the judiciary
committee, explained that the majority
of the committee felt that such a
sweeping measure, which would upset
legal titles all over the state, should
not be passed without more careful
preparation.
Compensation Act.
He asserted that the laws of proper
ty have,, with hardly an exception,
dated from the organization of state
government. The Louisiana law was
handed down from the code STapoleon,
the California law from the old Span
ish influence. They have not ' been
changed since titles to -porperty began.
To pass a law such as this in its pres
ent form would make more business
for lawyers without accomplishing
anything, Mr. Forbes declared that
the law actually would take from
women maay property rights they now
enjoy, particularly certain dower
rights.
Mr. Porter, who defended the bill,
demanded a roll call on the motion to
take the bill away from the judiciary
committee and the committee was di
rected to amend the bill.
The committee on labor and Indus
tries recommended that the Schuebel
bill, No. 222, which is designed to
strengthen the workmen's compensa
tion act, be passed as amended. The
only amendment is the elimination of
the six-day waiting period during Which
time the injured workman does not -draw
relief from the fund. This amendment
was demanded by representatives of
capital and labor alike who attended
the mass meeting before the committee
this week.
its account, -would have to share pot
luck with the other departments in de
pending upon deficiency warrants for
meeting its obligations.
This avoids the objectionable fea
ture of havinar the fees In a sneclal
fund, set apart for no'other purpose
than that of the. fish' and game com
mission, and at the same time given
the fish and game commission the use
or such fees for the purposes desired
by the sportsmen.
Many bills affecting education have
been introduced. educators consider
tne most important one, perhaps, to be
senate bill 87. by Ragsdale. which Dro-
vides for the county unit system for
schools in districts of the second and
third class. The bill intends to place
tne scnoois 01 these districts in an en
tire county under supervision similar
to that obtained in the cities, where all
the schools of the city are tinder the
direction of one board and one super
intendent. Educators declare that bet
ter results are always obtained under
tms system.
- Senator Bingham Is getting protests
from many quarters against his b1s
.to. repeal the state board of forestrv
paw ana tne compulsory lorest patrol
law, n 11 aouDtrui it his bills will
