Dlfl uwhakei THE OREGON LEGISLATURE IS HOPELESSLY CLOGGED Night Session to be Held at the State House During Final Week; Many B lit. SaVm, Ore. The concluding v,(;t of the pro. flit legislative eenalun flnJ- both Houses hopelessly vIoskoJ :h worH. It la by many reg.mled as the most congested final week fiiet'd by any session in years. Dcub'.lcis ex tended night session, will bo Isold, but It would seem utterly Impossible for the two Mouses to clear up the mas J of bills that have been dropped luto the legislative hopper during the past five wetks. There are really pore bills to be d sposed of during tho re maln'ng days than have reeelved at teiitlon dur't'.s previous week. A to Ml of CSti blih have been presented and not'hslf tf them have received attention. The trouble is that both Houres lei the early weeks if the session slip by while they puttered over petty bills or consumed valuable time In political (ilt-cusg on. which served no UM-tul purpose. In the meantime the Important ! sr'glation has been neg lected and must now neeesxtrlly be rushed through without c ireful con sideration. Scarcely any big legisla tion has been developed and dis cuffed. Good roads alone has been the only statewide log'guif !rn reeelvlns attent'on, and this has not been dis posed of. Notable legislation to be considered Is the legislative reappor tionment, the creating of new con gres!:cnal distHcts, the public service commission Mils,' Insurance, the eight hour bill, public levee, half rate for long disfaance telephoning at night and the railroad. rato measure. Appropriations May Ereak Record. The indications sre that when the session eonc'udes Its labors the ap propriations for the n?t two years will eclipse all previous records and the taxpayers-of Oregon will see an aggregate amount of coin voted out of the state treasury that will make them sit up and take notice, likewise reach deeper into their pockets when they face the tax collector. Five million dollars, by consecutive estimate, will represent the minimum .urn total of appropriations, and the indications are that it will be "closer to $8,000,000. In fact, members of the Joint ways and moans committee frankly admit that they believe the figure will be nearer $6,000,000 than It will 15,000,000. In the genercl appropriations bill, filed by the ways and means commit tee of the House there Is contained an aggregate appropriation of $366,920. The general appropriation bill does not include the eastern Oregon asy lum, the amounts to be expended on the University of Oregon, the Oregon Agricultural College and the Mon mouth Normal School, the continuing appropriations of every character, the amounts to be allotted for country fairs, the money to be expended In road and highway Improvement, should the expected compromise be tween the factions be carried through, and numerous other items. Special Appropriations Heavy, The ways and means committee of the House decided to allow the easU ern Oregon asylum $310,000 instead of the $400,(100 asked. It was also concluded to grant the Monmouth Normal School $50,000, one-half the amount petitioned for. Then there is $570,000 contained in the Oregon Ag ricultural College bills, including its biennial appropriation. The Univer sity of Oregon is scheduled to receive in round numbers $503,000 for 1m ' provements and acquisitions of land and $250,000 for salaries and mainte nance appropriation? for state boards, eleemosenary institutions, fair asso ciations (which have increased by a dozen In two years), Improvements and additions for the state Insane asy lum, the penitentiary, the home for the blind, the home for the feeble minded and other slate institutions, act contained In" the general appro priation bill, waioh doe. aot include iwT9XvaaatL ah- character, the ainrourUtlon of 150.000 contained la the Mil for the Astoria centennial celebration, amouofa sked for Bsh haUheiW end int'raee la Uriee scheduled for mny offlcra, wltB more deputies, and crest tons of new offices with t todly salaries and expenses.

Tola cannot be denied, but compared with the appropriation made by the Legislature two year, ago, which etnggered the taxpayers, ilio sum total this session will convey t ie Impression that the growth musl t so rapid that the state will soon o losing It. trousers band and letting cut n few hitches in Its suspenders. Reapportionment Hard Problem. The tenpportlonmeut problem is by far the laiRest one beloie tho Legis lature since a compromise has prac tically be n effected by the good roads interests wtileh will result In the ultimate settlement of tho differ ence that have exited between the warring good roads factions Mult nomjh, on account of having one-third of the population of the state utnl paying more than onethlul of the taxes which supports the state s"v eminent, believes that she should rlKhlly have one-lliltd of the represen tative mid 10 senators. The outly ing d tr!ots will be leupied aga'iut the Multnomah delt gallon In both Mouses. A special committee will bo ap pointed by Speaker Husk to consider nil the reapportionment measures that have been presented Kyety ss!tn will be overshadowed by the real por tiutiment problem and ull legislation of whatever nature that comes up for consideration in either Mouse Is bound to bo affeo'ed mor- or less by the re apportionment bney. Bailey's Removal Blocked. Kffort. to remove State Dairy and Food Commissioner Hat!cy from office were blocked for thu present in the House and Senate. In tho Mouse the report of the spe cial legislative Invet'gatlni? commit tee, accusing Dalley of inefficiency. misappropriation f state funds and demanding his resignation, was laid on thd table. In the Senate the ac tion cn the report wai deferred and no action la likuly to be taken. Governor Upholds Whipping Post. Denouncing the wife-beater as at heart a barbarian and as such deserv ing of the only kind of treatment which will appeal to a person of brut ish impulses, Governor West vetoed the bill abolishing the whipping post. It is believed the governor will also veto the IJowennan bill, which pro vides for the creat'on of the office of assistant secretary of state, delegat ing full powers and authority of the secretary himself. Friil 9ir.'9 8fnc!eeJIef. A standard size for apple and penr boxes is prescribed In a bill offered in the House by Westerlund of Jack son. The standard size of an apple box Is fixed at 18 Inches long, 11 inches' wide, 10V4 Inches deep. Inside measurement. Dimensions prescribed for the pear box are: 18 Inches long, 11V4 inches wide and 8 Inches deep, inside meaRtirement. Attack On an Initiative Lew. Thirty-two members f the House voted to repeal the law passed by the people at the last election prohibiting fishing with any other device but the hook and line on the Rogue River. It is the first of the people's measures to he tamoered with at the present session and those behind the proposal had no easy time In getting a majority of the representatives to vote with them. To Protect 8tate Funds. The misappropriation of state funds Is made impossible by the passage in the Houkb and Senate of a Din re quiring the secretary of state to paaa upon and determine the validity of all expenditures by state officers.
