NO I US r'liOH THIS 1AGISLA1 UBE.
By T. E. F.
Although Senator Blaokman did effici
ent work and secured the passage of two
bills for wagon road appropriations,
whioh wonld give 84,000 to the Hnystaok
section nnd $5,000 for the Jobu Day road,
the executive veto will deprive us of all
benefits in this line. A seoond bill which
would cause the appropriation of this
wagon road money out of a fund received
by tbe state from the general govern
men i for this 'peciflo pnrpose, was pass
ed, but the governor's exoenlrioities will
pr..b dily render it void. This bill wonld
have been of great benefit to Morrow
and Onint counties, but the representa
tive from Morrow voted no on i --probably
from force of habit, as he oerlaiuly
would uot oppose the iateres sof hisowu
county, had be knowu npjn what he was
Voting. Morrow county got nothing dur
ing this tesaion, with one individual ex
ception the county judge s salary was
raised. Had this officer been n republi
om, the governor would, iu nil proba
oility, have vetoed it on the ground that
it "increased luxation," his usual argu
incut, The Grant county enabling not passed
through the house, as there was I o op
position, but died on the table iu tbe sen
ate for the reason that the representative
failed to follow it beyoud the door of the
house.
It is to be regretted tbnt Senator Ha
ley's portage railroad bill failed in the
House, after having passed the senate, ns
it wonld have been the means of opening
the river to Eastern Oregon wheat ship
pers. Toe bill was defeated by demo
cratic votes iu the house, ns direoted by
tbe governor, ot as the Salem Statesman
prints it: 'It wnsu't the "senate subsli
tnte' that killed the 430 00d portage
r.dlway bill. It whb the house that put
in a substitute and it was the Eastern
Oregon demoorats who killed the sub
stitute. There you are in a nutshell. Tbe
liaslern On gou fellows out off their
noses to spite tluir faoes, in obedience to
i he dictates of a bigger boss than Jo,eph
Siniou ever aspired to be."
The only democrat io seu.itor who did
not on all ucoasions vote as the governor
liotated, and corporations desired in
matters relating tu railroad legislation,
was Senator Blackmail ; who, although a
little weak at times under the party
lash, came nut independently whe.i tha
vote waa taken to reoonsider a bill whioli
failed to pass, increasing the power of
ailioad commissioners.
As usual, the assessment nnd taxation
oill fin ed to pass. It was evident that
it would uot early in the session, as few
uembers nre willing to conoede thai the
.K. mantle which drew up the bill during
.veeks of careful work prior to the ses
sion, were as competent to frame a law,
is each member seemed to feel he was
ifter a few moments rellecliou ou the
Hour,
Senator Tongue's amendment in rela
tion to exempli.. u of indebtedness, while
well intended, was like sums of liisj other
works ably conceived, but injudiciously
lirecled, and resulted iu the defeat of
the most important measure ot tbe ses
sion. All hough, to him is due the credit
of the passage ot a bill creating a state
board of equalization, which iu a measure
compensates tbe state tor bis sh ire ot its
losses iu other ways. Eirly in ths ses
sion he wns looked upon as the probable
leader hi the senate, but Senator Fulton
took the mist prominent place as a
logical speaker on the tl tor, while Moore,
of St, Hcleus, was the recognized states
unn. Speaker Qeer proved to be one of the
best presiding officers tbe bouse bus ever
Had, but surprised mid disappointed bis
( ieuds by developing a degree of nepot
ism uot equaled by Hayes, ot whom it
vas said "had uo distant relatives, they
were all iu Washington " The speaker's
official influence came near placing an
exceedingly objectionable democrat in
oHic" in E .stern Oregon an I occasioned
considerable debtee in the republican
caucus. IS preventative ljittig appealed
io the members "For Q id's sake, do not
