8 ;THE OREGON j SUNDAY JOURNAL, .PORTLAND SUNDAYXMORNIWG, OVEMBERT 51. TlbJ." I 5 : .- RITNER IN SEHATE BEAN III HOUSE, IS LEGISLATIVEPLAN Personnel of Committee and Com J i mittee Chairmanships Settled s for' the Session in January. v Oregon's legislature for 1921 has been safely organized. It must meet on the second Monday of January and cast a few votes for Roy W. Ritner as president of; the senate and for Louis E. Bean as speaker of the house, but that Is a mere matter of form and detail. It is all settled now, even to a good many of the committees, and, in all prob ability, practically all of the com mittee chairmanships. . There" has never been any doubt about the safety of the house ' organi sation, for Representative Bean of Lane has never bad any definite . op position since he started out to vget the Job. But until Senator Eddy with drew from the race for the presidency cf the senate a few days ago there was some apprehension here and there about the safety of the senate organi sation, though not much, for those on the inside never believed that the Douglas county senator could round up the necessary 16 votes when it came to the final showdown. IDEAS ABE SIMILAB It Is to be a harmonious session that is. In so far as' the president and the speaker may be" able to make.it so for they have the same ideas about the same big things that might and more than probably will loom up in the path of harmony. If no bricks jar out of the senate or house organization wall in the face of attack, the coming ses sion will not witness so much storm and strife as did the last. There may be some question about just how ad hesive the organization mortar may be under strain, however, the answer to which the stress and strain of time will tell. EDDY 1TEVEB HAD CHAKCE Senator Eddy's friends in the senate some of the frankest, at least admit since the battle is over that the sen ator never had a chance of election in the final analysis. It was not in the cards for him to win. Early in the game Senator Banks, who had Faxrell of Multnomah and Bell of Lane with him, gave up the ghost of his ambition and at the same time gave Ritner a solid and decided lead. Eddy hoped to get Hall of Coos, Edwards of Tilla mook and Yamhill, Ryan of Clackamas, Staples of Multnomah and some others to Join his nucleus, but they went to Ritner instead, and Eddy withdrew. Ritner had IS senators, two more than the necessary majority, sewed up in hts sack before Senator Eddy quit. They were Senators Jones, Bell, Porter, Hall, Patterson, Farrell, Moser, Staples; Banks, Norblad, Upton, Robertson, Eb erhard, Dennis, Ellis, Edwards, Hare and Ryan. In furtherance of the plan that the coming session is to be a business session, the two presiding officers-to-be held a conference in Portland a few days ago for the purpose of canvass ing the committee situation. It is their desire that the parallel committees in the senate and bouse should be so constituted that their minds could eas ily meet on controversial legislation and thus enable the legislature to roll along without bumping the bumps, as has so often, been the case in the past. Two years ago the roads and high ways committee of the senate did not get along at all well with its sister committee in the house. , This time that misfortune will not occur If Senator Ritner and ? Representative Bean can prevent It beforehand. Then there is fish and game, taxation, industrial ac cident insurance, labor .legislation and various other .points of controversy that are standing in the offing, poten tial of trouble and sftlfe. PATTEBSOJT FOB CHAIRMAN Senator Patterson of Polk is to be chairman of the aenate ways and means committee. Herbert Gordon of Multno mah is to hold the chairmanship of the same committee in the house. Moser and Banks both yearn to be chairman of the Judiciary committee of the senate. It would not be sur Drlsinsr to see Eddy get the chairman ship of revision of laws, for Ritner has said that he will take care of his late rival by good appointment It is anticipated. Indeed, by those who have watched the organisation of the two houses take shape during the last months, that the two presiding officers will give more thought to making the committees, and consequently the ses sion, safe, than to the proposition of reward for .support or punishment for ODDOsitlon. The highway commission, and with it the highway construction program stands at a crista The resignation of Commissioner Benson Is merely an evi dence of the deep-seated divergence of. onlnion that has torn the commission differences that have grown out of urave and far-reaching theories of business administration and practice. Not only the never-ending controversy about the type of pavement best suited for use; but questions of business ad ministration, the sale of bonds now or later, forced construction now on a high market for materials and labor or later when: dollars might be bigger In purchasing power, these and others have bothered the commission and the commissioners. And these questions will come up In the legislature and they will be difficult of handling. The aged conflict over the fish and game commission, and fish and game legislation, is not dead. It will bob up, and whether it will brew its usual legislative storm will depend in large measure upon the committees selected to handle it in both the senate and the house. BIO DAYS IS SIGHT Taxation legislation is going to offer a difficult problem to solve. If it is possible of solution by a legislature constituted as legislatures usually are. Fundamental changes in industrial ac cident legislation are in the air. Anti labor legislation is being cooked up for Introduction. The Port of Portland consolidation problem is to be met and solved. Even prohibition legislation is being talked of. Generally speaking, it begins to look like there are going to be some big days and nights between the time the session opens and the morning it adjourns. But it is going to be a safe session if tome legislative bull don't get loose in the organization china shop. Sen ator Ritner is not of a radical turn of mind, and Speaker-to-be Bean has a conservative record without a flaw. Onslaughts on the existing order of things won't go far with them and their committees unless the onslaughts are started from safe angles or unless the organization jars loose and the steam roller runs wild. 83 ALIENS GIVEN CITIZENSHIP; 18 EX-SERM MEN Naturalization Hearings Wound Up in Federal Court; Case of Japanese Is Continued.
