FIGHTS LOOM FOR SESSION Few Administration Meas--; ures Wumbered Among - Batch So Far Introduced In Legislature. : i RELIGIOUS .BATTLE WELL MAPPED OUT Anti-Garb Proposal Direct ed at Nuns, to Be Voted on Next Monday . fi In neither house of the legisla ture have many bills that might be termed administration legis lation yet appeared. In the senate the general con solidation bill introduced by Hall is along the line of a recommen dation in the governor's message. While Governor Piecre says . he has not rad the measure in de tail, he indicates that he will fa vor it. ; This measure at the same time is prtbably the ; most im portant one that has been intro duced in the legislature this week, proposing" the abolishment; of 64 boards and commissions ; and merging all other state depart ments under four general beads. - ,! a - ' - - i ' '.. v ;. i -i . : Fight Is Certain It is .certain to- precipitate a battle extraordinary in the legis lature. It doubtless will go Into the hands of a special Joint con solidation committee of five : sen ate and five house members. Such a committee is proposed in a res olution introduced by Senator Johnson to consider all consolida tion bills that may come up. ; . The Strayer measure' to ehange the personnel of the Irrigation se curities commission is also an ad ministrative measure and may cause a fight, since it deals with irrigation, and. irrigation Is going to: be a big issue in this legisla ture. ' ' t Would Have Five Members The present commission con sists of the state engineer,! the state superintendent of banks and the attorney general. - The Stray er bill would make the. commis-, kion consist of the governor, the state treasurer, a .farmer," a lawy er and. a banker, , the three latter to be appointed by the .governor. In the house one administration bill that has appeared' is the Kirk- wood measure to restrict the trade in narcotics. ; This Is along the line of a recommendation in the governor's message. . Another is the anti-alien land bill. ' - , .Some important measures not in the category of administration legislation have been introduced. Of wide interest : Is the Strayer bill. designating as Old. Oregon trail the state highway running east and . west through the state from the Pacific ocean to the Ida ho line. It passed the senate yes terday and similar bills are pend ing in the .legislatures of Idaho and Montana, It does not elim inate such local names as Colum bia.. River highway. t Road Bill Popular , ' Another bill by Strayer that is Important Is a measure to pot the construction of market roads un der the exclusive, jurisdiction of counties, after the state highway department has furnished the en gineering, j This - probably - will have the unanimous support of the roads and. highways commit tee. The main argument advanc ed in. its favor is that it will ex pedite the construction of market roads. - , '., : Senator Brown has introduced the sterilization bill, providing for the sterilization , of i all feeble minded, insane,- epileptics, habit ual criminals, moral degenerates and sexual perverts who are a menace to society. ' .i Rellgkma Fight Starts In the house the religious fight has already started, with the anti rollgious garb bill introduced by Representative Woodward and di rected at Catholic nuns who teach in some of the public schools of western Oregon. This will be voted on in the . house .. Monday and will pass easily, to all ap pearances, and it probably -;wlll pass the jsenate. i, , ; ?
