Of these three were passed and three defeated. A bill byi Rfcpre , scntatlve Gordon, giving, tbej ma ' jcrity : of, .tax supervision and conservation commissions control of the action of the. commissions, , which migh logically be consider- ed part of the action o the pro (' gram, was also passed."! I Commission Created ' The j house passed .the '.btil creating a state finance commis sion to i have : authority . over the Ipfcusnce of- bonded Indebtedness, the bill extending the tax super visions and conservation commis sions to all counties, a bill per- " rnitting the classification and taxation as . bare deforested land certain land intended - to A be re forested and Representative Gor- don's bill Telating to power of tax supervising commissions.- The house defeated the ,. bill to extend : the ' powers ! of,1 the state tax commission ; in ., its relations to county tax , assessors, a bill to provide that the true "consider ation be included In all deeds and conveyances and a bill to vplace the. proceeds from Inberl . tance taxes In the .' Irreducible house bill 167, creating a state finance commission, . passed by -; the house at Monday night's ses 3 : r-ion, was madeby , Representa ' tlve Woodward at the opening of i the session yesterday morning, but was vo(ed down.. . Many Said Opposed ; Woodward, supported by Rep resentative Cowglll and Hurl burt, argued that , the bill would place sweeping power In the bands of ; the majority of the - commission which could over-ride the wishes, of, the people, of mu nicipal corporations, school dis- i tricts, drainage districts and the like. ' ' i Representative. McMahan of .vL,Inn,. was , one of the principal opponenta ot the true consider ation in deeds bill, arguing that if an individual wishes to keep hs bnsincBS - affars - secret he Fhould be permitted to do so and that-this law; ..would increase fraud and 'law - violation. This led Representative Wheeler, sup porting the bill, to ! suggest that - McMahan would probably advo cate the repeal of tthe murder laws or the prohibition code, : klnce a large body of people were i opposed o them. ' - J Badge Said Farce , After a thorough airing of eounty finances and . the opera tions of , budget committees . throughout the state, the bill to - extend .the tax supervision,' and conservation commissions to all counties of the state, was passed with. 89 affirmative votes. ''i iy) In support ot . the bill : Repre- sentatlve Carkin ' told the mem- Lera that . they could v do more at home to cut taxes than they -,. could at the legislature since the' greater part of ; the heavy taxes . originate in the road, school dis . iriet and county budget meetings. "We must get an outside view point said Carkin. "As long as , we leave this power in the hands cf the county commissioners, for example, who cannot see (beyond the confines of their courthouse, the taxes will stay up to the limit." ' Carkin - also told the . house that the operation, ot the budget law is a fa free since ; the interr evted parties are always brought in to W advise the tax-levying ..- boards, and thus a favorable vote - is assured.

MOSER FAILS TO SAVE BILL CURBING INITIATIVE Continued (rom tg 1) intended to preserve, that privi lege as the. man who originated it intended that it should be. It was not Intended that . the , ini tiative and j the referendum should be instruments for levying black mail or hiring crooks to obtain names at 10 cents a name. They even copy names out of director ies and swear that they ' have teen legally obtained. It is a shame and: a disgrace. Senator Garland said that the bill was for the purpose of stifl ing the initiative, and referen dum, and that his bill No. 201 would take care of all the evils mentioned by Mocen ; , "Senator f.'Moser neyer; was friendly to the initiative and the referendum shouted Senator Joseph "He is trying to ham string It or murder It. There never has been ; a legislative ses sion at which I have been pres ent that I ! didn't have to stand up and defend the initiative and referendum! against the on slaughts of this senator. Those who have been embarrassed by it have always found a tool in the rotund senator. ITe lias to be watched all the time.

I mi mm LEAVE r.'0 CLUE Robbers Escape With Much Registered Mail Police Find No Trail, LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13- With but meager descriptions of the three bandits who early today shot 'down a messenger of the First Na tional bank of this city, held up two guards,- and . escaped with about 100 pieces of registered mall, police and postofflce inspec tors were working under difficul ties in their attempts to apprehend the' men. i : J ' 'The exact amount taken by the bandits .will not be known for sev eral days, according to bank offi cials, owing to the necessary delay in - tracing the various shipments. Officials are of the opinion that the loss will be small. -Sim McGee, the messenger who was driving the car carrying L. I Callan and : O. Blizzard, guards, and 'the registered mail, reached to the floor of the car when, the bandits were first sighted, accord ing to his 1 companions.' Just .as he did so, one of the bandits with out warning, fired a shotgun from another v car. the guards said. The charge hit McGee in the head and he died on the way to the receiv ing hospital.; , One of the other bandits' opened fire with a j pistol, according to witnesses after the bank car had run into the curb, while the third man stayed at the wheel of the ear. A stray bullet crashed through the plate glass window ot a store, hitting Grover Melius in the leg. , After compelling the two guards to hold up their hands, the bandits took the bag containing the 'registered ' mail T and fled ' In their automobile..'! , .
