ALDER AT WEST PARK
The Multnomah delegation to the
legislature will be organized tonight
at 8 o'clock at a meeting to be held
in the governor's room of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce.
Jphn Gill and D. C. Lewis, veterans
of the 19 IB session, are both men
tioned as candidates for chairman, of
the delegation.
The members of the delegation ao
not Intend to consider any matters of
pending legislation in a formal man
ner, and will not consider any plan
which attempts to bind tnem to a pro
gram for or against any measure pre
sented to them. They followed such
a course two years ago, and It re
sulted in dissatisfaction and criticism.
They will listen to the presentation of
facts and arguments for and against
any measures which may be brought
to their attention, but will take no
formal position as a delegation.
Prisoner deeding Measure.
Particular attention will be paid by
the delegation to the consideration of
measures which affect Multnoman
county alone. Plowden Stott, one of
the veteran house members, has been
gathering data for several months,
from a time prior to the primaries in
fact, regarding the feeding of county
prisoners and the transportation of
prisoners from the counties for com
mitment to the penitentiary. He will
present a bill to the legislature which,
in effect, will repeal the existing law
granting the sheriff of Multnomah
county 12 cents a meal for feeding
prisoners, and substitute a plan by
which they will be fed at actual cost
by the county under the supervision
of the sheriff.
The existing law relating to other
counties will also be changed to fol
low the same plan. Mr. Stott will
also present a bill providing that pris
oners sentenced to the penitentiary
shall be transporated to the prison
by guards sent from thai institution,
In the same manner as patients to the
state hospital are now transported.
Several Bills to Bo Considered.
It is probable that the delegation. I s
at a series of meetings to be arranged '
between the holidays and the conven-
tlon of the legislature will consider ;
the proposed amendment of the. tenure
of office law for school teachers, the
proposal to take the Juvenile court
work from the county court and vest
it in a bureau of parental control, the
proposal to close the Willamette river
to commercial fishing, and various
other impending measures relating
principally toJHultnoman county.
