'I Domes of cs mm , Proceedings of the People' Kf prjMUUm at the SUU Capitol On "Dry" Measure Boiled Down to Only US Word Slt Capitol, Salem AQ pending legislation intended to make effective tbe prohibition amendment enacted by th people at tbe election last Novem ber is embraced in a bill of precisely 115 words Introduced In tb bouse by Representative Cardwell, of Douglas county. Tb Cardwell bill, which, It author aaya, I ail that is necessary to make Oregon aa dry as tb proverbial bona, la: "Any person or person who shall, after tbe first day of January, 1918, manufacture, sell or hav in bia, her or their possession for the purpose of sal, any Intoxicating liquor of any nature shall be deemed guilty of a mis demeanor and upon convietion.thereof shall be punished by a fine in a sum of not leas than 1200 or more than $1000, or by Imprisonment in the county jail for a term not exceeding all m on ins; provided, however, that thia act aball not arl7 to licensed physiciana pre scribing al--oVlif lrq 'T fr medicinal purpose or tbe sale thereof lor scien tific, sacramental or mechanical pur poses. All lawa and parte of laws in conflict herewith ar hereby repealed." In striking contrast to tbia measure is the Committee of One Hundred's bill containing about 8000 words, and the bill of Representative Lewis, con taining about 6000 words, eithw de signed to carry into effect tbe pro hibition amendment Tbe Cardwell bill ia proclaimed by ita author as con taining more real legislation tbanthe two others combined. "My bill will do the work," said Representative Cardwell. "You don't need another word to drive every sa loon, brewery and distillery out of the state." In explanation of the provision that will give physicians tbe right to pre scribe alcoholic liquors for medicinal purposes, be declares that tbe constitu tional amendment require that excep tion be made. "Tbe amendment specifically pro vides," he aaid, "that licensed physi cians be permitted to prescribe intoxi cating liauor for medicinal purpose. Now this legislature can't go ahead and pasa a bill that will deny them that privilege. Our law would be un constitutional if we would." Many Sweepidg Change Proposed in Election Bill State Capitol, Salem A plan to remedy many legislative ilia and to establish a closer relation between the legislature and the people who make lawa through the use of the initiative and referendum is embraced in a pair of billa introduced in tbe house by Representative Blanchard, of Josephine county. Mr. Blanchard'a first bill require that all initiative measures be filed with the secretary of state on or be fore January 1 preceding the biennial elections. The second one proposes to change the time of the biennial legislative sessions from the odd-numbered to the even-numbered years, and post poning the 1917 aesaion to January, 1918. Thia would place the legislative meetings in the same year with the elections and would eliminate the ne cessity of holding special elections to consider measures referred to the peo ple by the legislature. Because the initiative measures would be on file with the secretary of state before the legislatures would meet it would be possible for the legis latures to take up and dispose of the measures proposed by initiative. While the Blanchard bill wovJd not compel the' legislature to consider those measures, the author la sure that no legislature would refuse to act on them. Free Textbook in PeriL State House, Salem Oregon's free textbook law may be repealed by the present legislature, ine nouse com mittee on judiciary introduced bill providing for the repeal of the law passed by tbe 1913 legislature, which gives the various school districts of the state the privilege of voting on the question of free textbooks. Only one district St Johns has adopted books under the provisions of this act The present law allows all schools parochial as well aa public to obtain free textbooks if a district votea to adopt them. Representative Scheubel introduced bill last week providing thst only public schools be entitled to free textbooks. The judiciary com mittee did not agree on the Schoebel bill, so compromised by drawing up a new bill repealing the textbook law and deciding to report the Schuebel bill adversely.

S. fc'ti Trade of " Workl Economist Say America It Keep ing Her Moneg at Jlome on Account of War. Chicago For tb first time in his tory the United States is "experlene Ing tbe sensation of a real trade bal ance in IU favor," Dr. Edward E. Pratt chief of the Federal bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, told tbe Illinois Banker' association at Its annual dinner her Thursday. As a result of the developments abroad during the last aix! months. Dr. Pratt aaid, "we have turned the comer and are facing a new era . of buaineaa expansion in thia country an era which haa mad tbe term "born .market' ob solete and racbaic and put- in ita place the unfamiliar term of "world market' He explained that while tbe export execs in favor of the United States had ranged annually for 14 years from $250,000,000 to $650,000,000 "invisi ble factor" had made thla only an ap parent favorable balance. Foreign investment in tbe united State, tb speaker aaid, totalled $7, 500.000.000. with an annual interest of $350,000,000, constituting a fixed charge on American Industrie, wbil American Investments abroad pro duced a revenue yearly of only $75, 000,000, reducing th balance against the United State on thia count to $276,000,000. Moreover, he pointed out American tourist traffic poured milllona into European coffera each year, tb 1914 figure being approximately $286,000, 000; foreign-born Americana sent home annually at least $150,000,000 and foreign ahipping concerns collected freight from American foreign com merce amounting to $25,000,000 year. The result of all these invisible fac tors during the fiscal year of 1914, Dr. Pratt declared, had been to produce an . actual excess of remittance over re ceipt of $56,000,000. - The change began on July I, be aaid, and by December 81 last year the trade balances exceeded remit tances by $133,000,000, due to tne huge exportation of fooadtuffe, mer chandise and gold and ailver. At the same time came "a period of export ' capitalism, and we are just at the point of expanding into the world's markets." To illustrate "export capitalism, " . Dr. Pratt cited the Swedish loan of ; $5,000,000; the Argentine loan of ' $15,000,000 and the Russian loan of $25,000,000, all floated in thia country during the last six months.
