When your dealer tells you that you know
he’s honest.
He may have cheaper wagons in stock, but he
knows the Studebaker is the best.
—
A n d so do you.
H e wants to give such good wagon value
that you will come back ana demand a buggy
made by the same people.
Studebaker* have been building w agon* fo r sixty
year* and they have w on the confidence of dealer and
fanner by building— not the cheapest— but the beat
wagons.
W hether you live in city, town or country, there**
a Studebaker to fit your needs. Farm wagons, truck*,
business and delivery wagons, surreys, buggies and
runabouts, with harness fo r each o f the same high
quality
Studebaker vehicles.

Salem.— The labors o f the legisla­
tive assembly of 191* bars adtfed *77
new la vs to tbs Orecon codes. Of
tbs new la v s 10 are due to tbs pas­
sage of bills of tbo 1*11 session and
10 of th* recent session orsr the re ts
of the governor, Including the general
appropriation bill, while *37 were eith­
er aproved by tba governor or filed
without bis signature.
Throe features marked tke final ses­
sion of the legislative assembly prior
to sine die adjournment One was the
ease with which bills were passed over
the veto whenever desired; another
the consideration o f vetoed measures
on their merits, and the third the
speed shown in the transaction of bus­
iness.
. .
Unquestionably many of the meas­
ures passed were o f first Importance,
the list Including the workmen’s com­
pensation a c t good roads legislation,
the agricultural college extension
work bill, the minimum wage measure
for women and minors, the widows’
pension bill, laws affecting Judicial
procedure and the aproprlations for
the Panama-Pacific Exposition, th* Co­
lumbia Southern Irrigation p roject de­
tail survey of state resources and In­
vestigation of water power at Cslilo.
• Ill Opening Rogue River Passed
Abbott's printing measure was de­
cisively defeated, but the blU opening
Rogue river passed easily.
The bill abolishing the office of
State Printing Expert Harris was not
sent to the governor attar temporary
adjournment.
Just before final adjournment when
the bill finally reached W est he veto­
ed H. «"«k in g no report o f th* veto
until after the legislature had adjourn­
ed.
As regards bills Increasing salaries
In counties, one argument sufficed ts
eauso passage over the vetoed— that In
every case the amounts to which such
salaries were raised were leas than
the ones given In the Qlll hill, th* pas­
sage o f which the governor said In
every veto message would make such
Increases unnecessary.
\
A Few Measures Killed
▲ few measures were killed, the
vetoe being sustained, by request of
the authors, because o f amendments
which made them worthless. Farrell,
for instance, asked that the Morals
Court bill veto be sustainedr Joseph,
the recall amendment; Lntourette, the
superior court measure, and Carsfln,
the bill relating to Judgments and de­
crees. The arguments against the Day
bill to investigate Celilo water resour­
ces were nullified by the showing that
the state engineer had recommended
an appropriation of *60,000 and the
governor one o f *25,000, while this
measure called for only $16,000.
In relation to appropriations, when
the standing appropriations of more
than *1,200,000 are deducted from the
approximately *6,000,000 appropriation
the tctal amount of drainage from the
state treasury is reduced to a figure
more nearly commensurate with the
growth of the state and Its institu­
tions. There were also certain unusu­
al features calling for large appropri­
ations. It should be borne In mind
also, that the legislators did not pile
up the expenses o f the taxpayers ap-
prectsbly by extending the session be­
yond regular «0-day limit, as they
draw no salary for the additional per­
iod worked and had to pay their awn
expenses.
Women Important Factor
.The part played by women at this
legislative session was remarkable.
That the lawmakers have taken them
Into consideration aa a political factor
is shown by the consideration display­
ed '.n the case o f measures peculiarly
affecting tbelr Interests. At the 1911
session such bills as now have become
laws were thrown Into the scrap heap
without compunction.
As n rule the Investigations" mad*
by tbs legislature were perfunctory.
Relative to killing bad bills, two srs
worthy of special mention— one which
would have created a plumbers' trust,
and another which would have created
an electricians’ trust. With very few
exceptions the record of this legisla­
ture as to so-called “ hold-up m ea s­
ures’’ Is excellent
The following la a list of the Im­
portant measures which will become
