With the lerlslaturei adiourned anct clerks of the sessioa departed. h points uw uere is no one left to whom he could- return the measure for correction even should he be disposed to go ftaek ot the enrolled bill Itself In an effort to ascertain the , Intent of the law makers. ' r The same alip-ehod methods, which are responsible for the omission of the saving clause from the election bill, are also responsible tot steunerous other omissions and clerical errors which have. been discovered la creations of the spe cial sessioa and which appear "to have been more numerous in the session of last week than common. , OJTE EKSOS CORRECTED Through an error, credited to the en rolled bills committee of the house the same committee which is chargeable with the omission of the saving; clause from the election bill there waa left out of the completed copy of thla same elec tion bill the clause referring- to the people house Joint resolution No. 3, in volving an amendment tp the constitu tion of the state of Oregon providing for an exposition and financing the tne election macninery would be auto matically halted by the, provision of the Din Itself. .. . COST TO B f 1S.M tsui it is not were ana tne governor declares that he has no occasion or ex cuse for going back of the document as presented to him hi order to determine the intent of the lawmakers. , Should he sign the bill which he now has in his possession there will be a special election on May 1 next regard" less of the status of the exposition meas ures, which constitute the only 'valid excuse for such an election. In the event then, that these two measures are found to be invalid and are thus re moved from the special election pro gram the voters will have nothing upon which to pass but the referred measure Involving the right of the voters of Linn and Benton counties to vote upon them selves special taxes and bonds for the payment of certain old debts a Ques tion of interest only to the two counties involved and not sufficiently important to Justify a special election at an ex pense of 1 15,000, which is provided for In . the election bill. QUESTTOH IS RAISED On the other hand, should the gover nor veto the bill there arises the pros pect of two important exposition meas ures to pass upon with no provision for a special election at which to pass upon them. Opinion among attorneys here is di vided as to the effect the Intent of the lawmakers in a case of this kind, as evidenced by the amended bill, would have upon the Mil as finally enrolled. Some there are who hold that the evi dent intent as expressed in. the bill which was actually passed by the legis lature, governs; Others contend that the enrolled bill, bearing the signatures of the president of the senate and speaker of the house and filed with the This omission, however, was discov ered -before the measure had been sent to the governor and was corrected by the chief clerk of the house. In the original " bill this clause is found with an ink mark run through each lineevidently Inadvertently, tor In tne margin adjoining the clause Is the word stef which -in the parlance of a proofreader means "let it. stand.' la addition to tne "aer there appears an "O. K." But apparently the clerks on the enrolled bills committee are not skilled in proof reading or were in too much, of a hurry to get home to bring their skill Into play, for in spite of these markings the clause was omitted from the bill as it came from their hands. Again. In house joint resolution KoT s the bill ss it came from the enrolled bills committee omitted entirely the sen ate amendment providing for a distribu tion among- the varioua counties of the state of a portion of the funds proposed tev be raised by the tax oa gasoline. -HA8TB CAUSES TROUBLE This .omission, while chargeable di rectly to the house enrolled bins com mittee, is more properly chargeable to the slip-shod methods employed by the senate committee on roads and high ways and the clerks of the senate. In the ordinary process ot lawmaking an amended measure is sent to the com mittee on engrossed a ma, where the amendments are incorporated into the original measure. In the haste which characterised the last days of the spe cial session when this measure was up for consideration the bill and its amend ments were sent directly to the desk clerks from the senate committee, and then, under suspension of the rules, were brought up for third reading and final passage. ... . . EFFICIENCY IS DEXAXDED After It had been passed by the sen ate, through resort to appeal from the decision of the chair, it was sent over to the house for concurrence in the sen ate sjnendments. Appended to the sheet of paper to which the senate amendment was attached, but hidden by the amend ment Itself, waa a notice to the effect that th!a ; amendment has not been en rrossed." . This hidden note evidently escaped the eye of the boose clerks aad WMnmitteemen 'until after the bin "had been enrolled, when It waa unearthed and the bill corrected before being sub mitted to the governor. With these three glaring errors on earthed to the two most important measures of the special sestrion. there has arisen in 'state cap! to! circles a de mand, for a more efficient handling of saris lation at future- sessions aad some plan whereby the confusion attendant upon the closing days, when errors are bound to creep in, might be done away with. ; . r v : .. : " Month's , Increase ; In Lumber Cargoes 1 Is 16,000,000 Feet Astoria, Jan, Lumber shipments tn cargo from the Columbia river during December were ltO0O,Me feet greater than In November, according to statia tica of the Astoria -customs houses The Portland and !
