the bill is general in application it
applies particularly to a proposed

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 right of eminent do

supervisory power to the state high

atives, ana they have succeeded!
in accomplishing none of t head-
ends.
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. Out
side of the revenue bills there is
nothing to keep the two housfS
from adjourning this afternoon.
True, there aro a number of bills
on the table, and stnie few yet In

nlctely forgotte n and the state
will bp none the worse for It.

New York, Feb. 25. Frank P.
Kellogg, retiring amlnpndor to
(I rent Britain who will fiurreed
Charles K. llnnlies as s;.1 retury of
ntato, is (-pending a few dayn here
before going to Washington.
Mr. Kellogg said he was con
vinced Kurnpe In the last year
had taken n great lep forward.
Point ing out the effectiveno
of the Da we.! plan in the stablll
zutinn of cuireney ho said:
"There i nothing of greater

plo than Hint Kurope, in fact nil

gold basis. Fluctuations of cur
rency make it impossible to carry

States always has been on a gold

world on that basis."
around $1,000,000 for the remain
dor of the biennium, and that a
like levy on cigars would yield
approximately $500,000 a year. 1
On the basis of these figures
the tobacco tax alone would fi
nance the entire deficit faced.
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
