The Secretary of State has
enacted by the legislature which are now in full force and
effect because they carried
several hundred other new laws will not be in effect until
May 28, ninety days from the
From this list it is evident that seventeen times during
the session the "public peace, health and safety" was
endnrtp-ered , and it was necessary as many times, to declare
an emergency for its "immediate preservation.
Among the great crises averted by the prompt and
coura-cous action of the legislature, was the threatened
destruction by ground squirrels whose activity endangered
the public peace health and safety. The situation was saved
and the danger averted by prompt passage of a measure
tstablishing control districts and official poisoners.
Another great menace, that to the peace, health and safety
of Oregon from wild range horses, was successfully and
skillfully parried by the enactment of a law providing for
their roundup and public sale by the sheriff. However, if no
b'dders appear, the county must board and lodge the horses
Indefinitely as there is no provision for otherwise disposing
f them. Worthless horses are thereby likely to be eventually
worth a good deal to the county but the horses are saved,
is well as the state only the taxpayer loses, as usual.
Among other instances where the legislature promptly and
properly arose to the emergency and insured the public
health, peace and safety, was by the passage 'of a law provid
ing for the grading of potatoes. As long as . the farmer
sould sell his spuds, with the big ones on top and the little
nes in the bottom, the welfare

approbation of our lachrymose executive, thereby preserving
the public health, peace and safety, until at least another
