A WEEK WITH OUR STATE LAWMAKERS AT SALEM Monday, January 25. Salem, Jan. 25. Plans for two ex tra circuit judges in Multnomah, each to be paid $3000 by the state and $1000 by the county, appeared in the house today in a bill o f Representative Jae ger. of Multnomah. The responsibility of stockholders in banking corporations will be increased c onsiderably if a constitutional amend ment, proposed by Representative Pur- din, is adopted by the people. !t pro vides that stockholders in-banking cor porations shall be liable severally for all of the indebtedness of such corpora tions and that stockholders in all other co:p »rations shall be liable lor the amount of their stock subscribed a d paid in. Further demands for Normal school aid developed in the house this after noon when Applegate, of Douglas, in troduced two such measures. One calls for the appropriation of nearly 86000 to cover deficiencies resulting from the operation of the Drain Nor mal school for the year ending July 1, 1908. The other asks for an appro priation o f $20,000 to meet the ex penses of that institution for the bien nial period ending December 31, 1910. Muncy, o f Curry, revived his bill providing for a reduction in the fee charged mining corporations for filing articles of incorporation and otherwise exempting such companies from the payment of any other assessments to the state. Free school books furnished by dis tricts is the object of a bill by Repre sentative Jones, of Clackamas. Salem, Jan. 25. Bills creating fully 200 new jobs, many of them on fat pay, have been introduced in the Ore gon legislature, loading up taxpayers with more than $1,000,000 salaries and expenses for the ensuing two years. This estimate does not include increas ed pay for county officials, outside of Multnomah, w^iose rush for “ more” has produced a big crop of new bills. Nor does this estimate include the cost of numerous proposed boards, per diem “ expense” to be fixed by the legisla ture. The new jobs are to have the titles of commissioner, inspector, dep uty clerk, stenographer and so on. Of this enormous amount of salary and ex pense money that will be asked of the taxpayers, the senate leads with bills proviidng for $818,000, while the house has under consideration measures that provide for $219,100.
