The mea sure reouires that maps and plats" for subdivisions lying with in an irrigation district 6hH oe " submitted tou the board .of. direc tors of the district. In his message Governor Mar tin had stated he was advised by the attorney general that the measure was unconstitutional. In speaking for the passage of the bill. Representative J. F. 'Hosch. democrat, declared that it was the doty of thejegislature ,to pass-Taws, of the executive to enforce them and for the courts to determine their ! constitutional ly 1 . Representative Semon, who al so fa voted the bill, declared there was wide disagreement among attorneys over , the con stitutionality of the act and as, it was greatly desired by the peo ple It should be determined by the courts. Office Bill Taken Up Upon motion of Representative Walter Fuhrer, bouse bill 353 which provides for the construc tion of aniofflce building by the state highway ' department was taken' from the table. . The "committee reports were made" a special order of business at 10:30 o'clock this morning. The majority' of the committee on administration and reorganiza tion recommended that the bill do pass and Representative Ma honey signed the minority that It do not pass. The move to take the bill from the table came Just as the ways ana weaai cuiuiauico uiuuuuwu its bill to provide for the pur chase .or construction of a $700, 000 pfficer building in Portland. The' building would be financed either .by certificate of Indebted ness . narable from rentals from departments using the building or by . a loan from the state in dustrial accident commission funds to ha renaid br a S20.000 annual appropriation. Doable Reverse works The, house , did a reverse of a , reverse and reconsidered the vote by which senate bill 260 was killed Monday. The bill would place the custodians of the Port land schools under civil service. Early in the session the bouse approved the measure. Monday a m, . . t me same dui cams: dsck as u aubstitute senate bill and was killed. After having the measure reconsidered it was put on final . passage and passed. -Approval of an eight hour day. 48 hour week bill was given by a 42 to 14 vote. " v Passage of the bill came after labor supporters, led by Repre sentative A. M. Esson and Phil Brady, "had denounced the pres ent 10 hour law. Only objection to the measure came from Representative Ernest Fatland, who declared the regu lations would.be too stringent on merchants and : businessmen in the eastern part of the state. J lie um CAtrpio agricultural laoor rrom its provisions aiong with other seasonal work. Em ployers hiring less than four per sons are also excluded. . Small Loan ' Bill Falls The house turned down by a 40 to 15 rote, a measure which -would have permitted banks to make small installment loans at at one per cent a month interest rate. i The bill would have permitted banks to make loans up to $500 at one per cent discount rate. Proponents contended the mea sure would offset the small loan business where rates, of three per cent are charged on loans of 1300 or less. Opponents maintained that the bill would enable banks to in crease their rates of interest and would not materially help the small borrower. They also refused to ' pass a measure which would have en- ' a bled' executors and administra tors to accept real property- as . part -payment tor land held in an estate. The rots was S3 to 20. Representative George Friede i . tm 1 coiugca dui Toie tu uu m -order to' move reconsideration. The bill was defeated when Representatives Martin and Nor blad argued that the measure ; would allow an administrator to . turn an estate Into the real estate business and thus . post pone tne closing oi tne estate zor the benefit of the heirs. Representative' Friede- held ' that ; the bill would enable the administrator to close the estate ' sooner by being able to get rid of land which he could not do if the total price had to be paid la cash. - - Session Radio Review Given By Statesman ' Each night promptly at 0 'clock while the legislature i in session.

New Wage, Hours Legislation Asked (Continued from Page 1) scribe bills wanted by the pres ident. His press conference closely followed the sending to congress of a report by a presidential committee which : conducted a post-mortem on the dead NRA. It urgd that future attempts to regulate business be more flexible and simpler. The report, containing the re sults of, exhaustive research into the functioning of the national recovery administration, was sent to congress by President Roose velt. He expressed belief "It will point the w&y to -the solution of many vexing problems of legis lation and administration in one of the most vital subjects of na tional concern." The committee -credited NRA with lifting; wages, putting more tban' 2,000.000 persons to work. But it hit at what it called "un certain" policies and "imprac tical and unenforceable" provi sions of codes. Joseph T Redmond Funeral Is Today CORVALLIS. March 2.

Mrs. Mildred Fortner who has been working for a "stay of ex ecution" for age 65-ers on the Portland teaching staff. The bill drew an adverse report in the house committee she succeeded in getting it pulled back to commit tee; then a favorable report; then passage through the house. N l In the senate however the bill went to Tom Graham's committee. Tom, a Portland teacher himself, has bedded it-down well for a sleep to last the session through, unless the undannted Mrs. Fort ner can force the bill out. I Mayor Carson, came to town to check up on legislation, what with a new bill to enable Port- . land to do something for its firemen and policemen, ns well as other civil servants. I A rare visitor in sessions Is Mrs. Douglas McKay. She observed the session Tuesday at a seat beside her husband in the senate. C. C.

The session should end very soon ... some miscreant stole the .cushions from the seats of several senators and even of re porters, j One of the queerest Items yet put la for legislative expenses ap peared in the house yesterday. It was payment for a new boiler in the armory. It was not, however, the hot air of the representatives Stream Pollution Bill Agreed Upon Sportsmen, industrialists, com mercial fishermen and the game commission agreed yesterday on a meaaure by Senator Carney to prohibit pollution of the streams of the state. I The bill which had aroused the opposition of many Industries was amenaea so tnat tne game com mission should be allowed to pro ceed onlr airainst cities tnr fhm pollution of the streams. The un derstanding reached was to the ef fect that when cities had cleaned up their part ot the stream pollu tion that the industries would be in a position to do so. ' Under the bill the game com mission would be empowered to take an Injunction against cities polluting streams with sewage and force them to construct sew age disposal plants. F. H. Toung appeared before the senate committee on Irrigation and drainage on behalf of the pa per companies. George Radich represented the Columbia River Fishermen's organization and Ben Claggett apepared on behalf of several sportsmen's organizations.

The strain In heating all ot the plant at one time proved too great for the old one and a new one was put In to keep the lower house members warm during the cold weather at the beginning of the session. The way some of the repre sentatlves talk in the house it sometimes sounds like a very, very dry sermon, but Represen tative A. M. Esson made the members smile yesterday as ho announced he would "now read from his text." It's interesting ' to a watch laws being made. Especially von the con currence in amendment made in the other house from which the bill originated. When the bill is read after having been passed by the other branch with - amend ments, the member interested in the bill moves for concurrence. Seldom do the members know what Is In the amendments nor for that matter do they seem to care. Attempts to repeal the milk control act has consumed a ma jor portion of the time ot Repre sentative Hogan -in the session. Ever since, he Introduced his re peal referendum January 23 he has been trying to get the bill out of the repeal ot laws committee. Yesterday he succeeded. The measure came out without recomr mendation but Hogan will get his chance to have the members of the house vote on the bill todsy. - In the gallery women watching the dull progress of the laws, keep their hands busy with knitting as they Idly chat about the show be low. clared that these dredges had filled the lower Rogue with mud with the result that the recrea tional value of the stream had been damaged..

Opponents of the bill present ed figures showingthat mining operations which if was 'proposed to put out of business returned more then 2600.009 annually. Court Memorial Sought in House Representative Vernon Bull, democrat. Union, was the sponsor of a memorial introduced In the house yesterday urging congress to support President Roosevelt In his proposed change of the su preme court. ' The memorial charged that the present court had contributed to "delay and obstruction in the ad ministration of Justice" and asked congress and particularly the Ore gon delegation to support the change "to the end that Justice may be served and the principles of democracy may prevail la the United States." .

The Balentine4 bills would per mit the commission to deny a re newal of permit or allow a can cellation of permit only where the holder had been convicted in court of violation of the liquor laws. Balentine declared the commis sion was the most arbitrary- and dictatorial body In the - United States. Senator Stadelman de fended the present law, saying It had been proven successful and the state should keep It: VI am against any bills that will ham per enforcement ot the ' liquor law." ' Sen. Strayer also declared the Knox control law was the best legislation of the kind ia the country: "If yon pass this bill yoa strike at the Toots of the con trol act." Todsy the alcoholic traffic committee' wilt report out favor ably two bills amending existing control laws. One separates whole sale and retail business; the oth er revises fees, and regulations of subsidiary character.
