Indications are that the session will be characterized by unprecedented bitterness: due to religious issues that are go ing to be created that will be life-lasting-. Other indications are that; such legislation of an up setting, if not of1 a radical sort, Is going to be I introduced ! and make the assembly one of se vere warfare from the first to the 40th day. Pierce Attitude Uncertain Certain It is that many j Wii which will have a beat Hi i- uu state finances, either taxation methods, appropriations or securi ties, are going to be heaved i into the hopper. What kind of role Governor Pierce is going to play in the dtama Is now the main question with the public and the public's representatives and bosses.

Commission Opposed One of the big fights ol the session will be over Governor Pierce's stand for a salaried state highway commission. This will, be recommended in his mes sage, which will follow that ot Governor Olcott on the opening day. Tbe salaried commission proposal ill- be strongly oppos- ea, but tne governor may sum mon enough strength to put it over. Aotwuhstamling salaries are propope. h commis- "?'"iers, move Is one where by Mr. Pierce hopes to pare the cost of operating the department. He Is expected also to seek. doubtless through legislation, to have the working force of the department cut down.

At present there is only cne paid commissioner, the oth ers being the governor, thja sec retary of state and the stat-? treasurer. .

These ate the questions that are being asked and thought. t Peace Possible Another possibility Is that the indications of bitterness and strife may be deceiving, that the coming session may be surpris ingly, tame and ! the 'Pierce ad ministration one of peace. There are things that ,point to this. There is some evidence that sore spots are well nigh healed even before the legislature opens. For example, some of those who op posed Governor Olcott most bit terly In the campaign are now admitting that he was a saae ana sane and Just governor. Some of those who were Olcotfs most ardent supporters . ana wno fought Pierce stoutly are now M-nreaslnx opinions on the side that : the veteran Pemocrat . leader administration. Mr. Pierce him cident commission. The commis sioners and their friends will endeavor to keep the workmen's compensation act substantially as It is, though they would not oppose art amendment that' would make the! act compulsory on ail industrial employers. Cut a strong element is at work, made up or Insurance companies ana some employers, to alter the act so radically that 1t would bear no semDianoe to tne , present statute. This amendment, a bill for which has already, been draft ed, would give the casualty in surance companies a chance to compete , with the state and would make mutual insurance and self-Insurance possible ior the employers. Labor will line up with the commission for the law as it s. or may seek to have state insurance made eom pulsory. i ' - i In the public service commis sion no charges are likely to be proposed unless a consolidation bill should be offered wnicn would include the department in a group having a common hent , Ther are rumors tnat legislation of this character will be attempted The j transportation department rtf aorvio.A commission, re lating to stage and motor bu lines, j will be tampered with. though to what extent jls uncer tain.

I'lat license fees for all kinds of cars are suggested, and also an, alteration 1 in the law that will allow of greater speed on the highways. Should a low er, iflat rate be allowed an in crease in the gasoline tax doubt less would accompany it. Tax Ttattle Looms In ithe state banking depart ment a thorough overhauling or the banking code is in prospect. A new code has been drafted by a special committee appointed for the purpose. Only minor legislation is wanted by the state forestry de partment. The state labor de partment wiJ be included in tbe consolidation program if such a program Is' formulated. The state tax department win he the center of considerable wrangling, most of it revolving around Governor Pierce's propos ed income tax measure. The governor will recommend in his message that 1 the legislature send a memorial to congress, di rected particularly to the at tention of Senator McNary, urg ing an amendment to the fed eral income tax" act whereby states having Income tax laws may have access to the govern ment records. He will urge that one-third or lone-half of the fed eral tax on each individual be added to his tax for state pur poses, his property tax. of course to be. reduced accordingly. Gov- .r" . ... - ernor Fierce win preier one- half .of the federal tax rather than a third ducted. con Another change favored isi one authorizing districts to levy to the transportation of all pupil who live more than' three miles from the school buildings, j and empowering1 the county court to levy on the district for thej pur pose if .the districts themselves fail to do so. .

The free text-book bill to be introduced i by W. P. Woodiward of Portland stands a good chance for passage. . It was favored by tbe county school superintend ents In session last week,! and they predicted that- it would; pass the legislature. ' New Baseball Circuit Planned for Next Year NEW YORK, Jan. 8.

In t the 1921 session Senator Upton's major fights were over ieapportionment and the port or Portland bill. In the former he fought for a better representa tion' tor his district both in tne senate and the house, and his side ; was successful as far as the house was concerned. In the port fight he was with the port commission which waged a successful battle. At the spe cial session he was one of the members who succeeded in block ing -tbe Portland world fair pro gram. His committee offices at that session were chairman ot the committee on irrigation and member- of the ways and means, roads and highways, resolutions, judiciary, Tules, and military affairs committees. , -Senator Lpton is a farmer as will as a lawyer and law maker, pining a large dairy and hay ranch in Crook county.

"So he is. lie Is an uncontroll able partisan, but he is a partican for the things that are right, and I would that there were more par tisans like him. v He is a partisan against those questionable influ ences that have crept into our state and well nigh ruined its cit izenship.
