Now that tiio session is over, says the Statesman, it Is well to noso arounu among the debris and see what has been accomplished. Below will be found a con tlnuatlon of the Hat of laws pissed, to- gcthcr with tho action of the governor on the.severul bills. It is known now, how aver, that tho governor will veto the Dur- ham bill, which created such an uproar In the Senate Friday night. This bill amends the Australian ballot law. ' Speaking of the scene of Friday night It !s suagestlv of the fact that during Its closing hours the Senate passed no reso lutlons of thanks to their president, Hon. C. W. Fulton, for the efficient manner In which he presided throughout the session. Hud It not been for the affair in ponnec tion with the passage of the Durham bal lot bill, Mr. Fulton would have been nicely remembered, as Indicated by the following, which was found on Hon. C. A. Cogswell's desk Sunday, when the janitors began to clear away the papers. The resolution was never presented, however, but there la no doubt Mr. Cogswell would have proposed it Saturday morning had it not been for the ruling In tho case of the Durham bill: "Mr. President: The seventeenth ' bi ennial session of the legislative assembly of Oregon la now about to close.' Our work for good or 111 Is nearly done. Though we have met and mingled to gether aa senators with differences of opinion and conflicting Ideas upon many questions, our ' intercourse has been marred by no personal quarrels, no fac tional feuds and no strifes that will leave bitter memories, remorse or regrets. Hap pily, extreme partisan politics seldom had an occasion to disturb our serenity or In terfere with our. labors; and therefore, while still holding tenaciously to our political convictions, we can part in the slncercst personal friendship and with cordial respect for the opinions of each other. "This gratifying conclusion of our la bora la in a great measure due to the fair ness, the wisdom, the forbearance end tho good fellowship of our presiding offi cer. All these qualities he has constantly exhibited, and has thereby contributed largely to make our labors easy and hur monlua and our sessions successful. "In this trying position ha has ever been Impartial, courteous and kind, though firm, and la therefore entitled to the thanks of the members of the Benate. "I therefore move that the thanks of the Senate be extended to the Hon. C. W. Fulton, president of the Senate, for his . uniform courtesy, fairness, firmness and industry as its presiding officer during the present session.'' . .. I 'un ui ' 40JUI8 dom. ' il T' ill V f'
