While the bill is general in application it applies particularly to a proposed oad from tho coast in the vicin ity of Tillam ok across the moun tains to Forest Grove and Port land. It is said that a concern, the name of which has not been di vulged, plans to expend several millions of dollars on the mountain oad, which will greatly shorten the route from Portland to the coast, while If It were left to the state to build tho road its con' struction would be beyond pos slbility.

The legislature did clean up the stats prohibition department, but did not succeed in taking Its ad ministration out ot the governor's hands. Ca the other hand, the governor and the prohibition forces securevl twice as much mon ey for the next two years as they tu'.ve had during the past bien- niura. Not all of the hlame tor the sit uation into which tbe session has resolved itself can be laid to the door ot tbe legislature, however. The governor has been just as guilty of playing politics and seek ing to advance his own political interests as has any group in the legislature. The financial hole In which the state finds itself is if the governor's digging. With the aid of Jefferson Myers, former state treasurer, he Bat on the tax levying commission aud deliber ately assessed a levy that was $1,- oou.uuo or more short of the state's requirements. Since that ' time he has used every means of compelling the legislature to create new tax sources to make up the deficit, taking revenge for the defeat ot the income tax law. The purpose of the governor's whole play is evident. By forcing the transfer of the tax burden from one shoulder he Is seeking to make It appear that he has ful filled bis pre-election pledge of cutting taxes In half. How long the session now hangs on depends upm the willingness of the legislators to help the gov ernor create his illusion of tax re duction. . nd their endurance.

But what such a tax would re turn in hard, cold dollars and cents Is considered more or leas uncertain, and there appears to be an inclination to require diver sion to the general fund ot small portion ot the revenues of the fee collecting agencies ot the state. The senate is thought to consider the 10 per cent diversion approved by the house too high, and will probably modify thii levy to about 4 per cent, which would yield around $300,000. Without controversy, the sen ale today passed house bill 2S5 which places a tax on the grotw earnings of utilities designed to be sum 'lent to pay the greater part of the expense of administer ing that department. It is ex pected to produce about $40,000 a year. Immediately after passage of this bill the senate passed over the veto ot the governor house bill 419 which appropriates $100,000 for tbe service commis sion. Passage of the utility tax bill fulfills a condition imposed by the governor tu approve the appropriation measure. Whether or not there will be an attempt on the part ot the legislature to also enact a mill age tax or tnree fourth or one mill, and refer it to the people at a special election, remains to be seen. To refrain from so do ing will bo a hard dose for the legislature to swallow, for It will he a complete surrender to the governor, who has insisted from the first that there be no further direct tax levies. Speaking of the war between the governor and t he legislative organization, the full extent of the licking adtui Mistered to the militant "h a mtr intern' by th chief executive and his 13 friviidc ir, the senate is written plainly today. When the session opened there were grave fears expressed that tho legislature was going to hog tie the executive so thorough ly as to make a martyr of hi in They were going to take from him the fih comniiisinn, the guitu inin ists ion, the state market "Yes, I'm leaving to day George.
