The proposed con-' stltutlonal amendment would be submitted to the people. It la a companion resolution to No. 18 scheduled for third reading early this afternoon. The latter would provide for a dividing session of the legislature, a 20 day session starting on the first Monday of December, a 20 day Interim, and then a closing 20 day session of 20 days. Representative Carkin explained the latter resolution, de claring that It would do away with rush legislation and afford time for thorough study of measures in- troduced. The house alto passed house resolution No. 1 calling for a con stltutlonal amendment consolidat ing stata departments. Only ten divlslDns would be authorised un der the resolution. House joint resolution No. I was also passed. It provides that of fice vacanci?a occuring moro than 20 days prior to election would be filled at the general election rath er than by appointment by the governor. The resolution would amend the constitution. Tho move in the legislature to resurrect the old tax supervising and conservation commissions for various counties of the state will meet no opposition from the Mar lon county court, County Judge Hunt stated today. It makes no difference to us whether the law is passed, or whether it Is not," state Judge Hunt. "We are not afraid to have our budget Inspected and pulsed on by a commission similar to the one named beCore the original law was declared unconstitutional. "Our budget is trimmed riuht down to the lowest possible sail it can carry and any fair minded com tmltee will be unable to find any thing In it to criticize or cut. Of course thero are some few people In tho county. If on such a com mission, could do endless damage. They would be opposed to every kind of Improvement. There are others who would be just the other way and favor things which the taxpayers cannot afford. Hut a fair-minded committee would find our budget just as low as possible proportionate to normal progress nnd a reasonable conduct of af- airs of tha county." HOLD ROIL CALL Dallas. Ore., Feb. 19.
