Secretary PROBLEM HOW TO PAY FOR mlLLION DOLLARS VOTERS ViLL HAYE A : SEVERAL. MEASURES TO CONSIDER JUNE 4 At Least Six, Possibly Seven, Bills Passed by Legislature to Go on the Ballot. : BOND ISSUE IS INCLUDED Indications Are That Active Campalja Will Be SCads Tor aad Against 96,000,000 Bag-away Issue. - , Salem, Or., Feb. 21. June 4 next the people of the state, called in special election, will give their verdicts on at least six and possibly seven measures passed by the legislature and by it submitted to the electorate for their In dorsement or rejection. In addition to these, any measures that might be ref er ended by the people will also go open the ballot. The Bean bill. Which puts the state Into support of the Southern Pacific Railroad company in its litigation against the forfeiture of the Oregon California grant lands by requiring county assessors to place these lands upon the assessment rolls, will go on the ballot, unless it is demonstrated that the bill was never legally passed. Question as to Bassage. The bill was amended In the senate by the . addition, of the provision re quiring Its submission to the people at the special elctlon. The house con curred in this amendment, on a roll call vote, with only 29 members vot lng for the concurrence. Representa tive Eaton filed a protest In the jour nal of the house, setting out the facts and contending that under the consti tution It requires 21 votes In tho house to legally concur in a senate amendment just as is the case in the passage of a bill. If this contention is correct, the house journal will show that the Bean bill was never legally passed, and therefore cannot legally go upon the ballot for consideration by the people. It is probable that this point will be determined before the bUl finds its place upon the ballot The $6,000,000 road bonding bUl will also be before the people at the June election for their verdict. Four pages were set aside by resolution of the house and senate for printing argu ments in favor of the bonding bill in the official pamphlet, and a vigorous campaign of education, both pro and con. will undoubtedly be carried on be tween this time and- June 4. yen Item tlary Bin Vp. Another measure to be submitted Is the Rimer bill, providing for tho con struction of a new penitentiary within four years, at a cost of $400,000. The building is to be modern In construc tion and is to be located on a site se lected by the board of control. Then there is a constitutional amend ment providing that the pay of mem bers of the legislature be increased from $3 to $8 a day, that the session be extended to 60 days, and that the number of bills that may be Introduced shall be limited. There is another measure providing that all primary elections, both state and municipal, and all general elections, - both state and municipal, shall be held on the same respective days throughout the state. The voters will also be asked to give their verdict upon a measure providing a classified system of assessment of property and a graduated rate of taxa Uon on different classes into which the property of the state is to be divided. The legislature also enacted a bill giving the Port of Portland the power to build or subsidise steamships and steamship lines to operate in foreign and domestic trade, and raising the fund by a mlllage tax upon the prop erty within the boundaries of the Port of, Portland. This measure will be be fore the voters in the district for their decision. On Constitutional H armour. The' last of the measures submitted by the legislature is the constitutional amendment providing in substance that all portions of the Mate const!' tutlon shall harmonize with all other portions, and that any amendment which may be adopted which is in con flict with any existing section or clause and which does not expressly repeal the old conflicting clause shall be void. Should any legislative measures, which by their terms were not referred to the people, be referenced by the people, they will also be placed on the ballot in June. The "date of the special election, June 4. was determined upon because the Portland city election will be held on that date, and It was thought that It would reduce the cost of holding the special election by calling it at the same time as the Portland election.
