HLIU SE HAS TASK BEFORE IT Senate is Well up With Work In Month Legis lature Has Seen 925 Measures Proposed 'Celilo Project is Endorsed- Teachers Win Bill. SAL.KM, February 11. Tho closo land Imname ijolem on u speclnHrnln of tho fourth week of tho legislature ' nml tnniiltm nt tho back of tho mem- tiers or tho stnto sonnio wiion tnoy finds tho senate up with Its work, a few measures Coins left ovcrfor a third reading nnd final passage. Tho situation was qulto different la tho house. That branch of the nssem ily Is to badly clogged that tho task of clearing tho calendar beforo tho closo of th6 40 day period will be a prodigious undertaking. Tho trouble In tho houee la that they have been Indulging In too much ora tory lately. Unless the talk Is cut out ' the' result will be great confusion dur ing the closing hours of tho session, the death, or many good measures and hasty action on others. The job for tho house Is especially distressing, for In that body 601 bills have been presented, and tho senate has already sent over 84 bills, a total of nearly 700 for that wing of tho legislature to net upon. Up to Uio present tlmo tho houso has passed hi of Its C01 bills over to tho senate, nnd has killed off or withdrawn nearly that many more. 525 Bills Proposed. Tho last day for Introduction of hills brought forth an avalanche In both the senate nnd the houso that nearly swamped the clerks. With adjourn ment 325 bills had been Introduced a tho senate bo far this session nnd an ren 600 In tho house, or a total of 925 bills for the session. This Is just 200 more bills than were Introduced two years ngo. Several Important Measures Passed. Among the important measures pas sing tho house were the workmen's compensation act and the board of control bill. Both branches passed the widow's pension bill and the Mult nomah Dchool teachers' measure. The home rule amendment was defeated In the house. Tho sena passed tho minimum wage bill for women and minors, the measure placing all chari table Institutions under stato super vision, the bill amending tho direct primary and the railroad headlight measure. No large appropriation bills have passed either house. The outlook fbr the passage of good roads legisla tion next week Is excellent. Legislature Asked to Give W.287,819 Appropriations already asked from the Oregon legislature, and now under consideration by the joint ways and means committees of the house and senate, hare reached the huge total of 18,237,819.07. By the time all requests for state money are in, the total may reach $9,000,000. This will be a record- breaker for requests, but there is no reason to believe that when the smoke lias blown away and the final tale has been told that this will be a much mora expensive legislature than the one two years ago, when the appro priations totaled $5,760,000. Compensation Bill Passes House The Lawrence employes' competi tion bill passed the bouse, after a bat tle on the floor of 2 $4 hours, with only Murnsne and Upton voting against the measure,-and Campbell, Lofgren and Ilagood absent. May Oust Officials For 90 Days. Only four votes were mustered against the substitute bill by the sen ate Judiciary committee giving power to supplant district attorneys, sheriffs md constables, and the substitute measure passed the senate. The drastic provisions of the ori ginal bill, which allowed the governor summarily to supplant such officials, were materially softened in the new bill. Under the new bill officials may be supplanted for periods of 90 days, but only after they have been given a bearing in court and the circuit judge decides that such officer has not been faithfully executing the criminal laws of the state. Widows' Pension Bill Is Signed. With no member but Dlmlck voting In the negative, the widow's pension measure, Introduced by the committee on health and public morals by re quest of the Oregon congress of mo thers, passed the senate, and on being enrolled, was sent to the governor, who signed the bill Primary Amendment Passes. Seven senators went against the Smith bill to amend tho presidential preference primary law, but the bill passed In the senate. Under the presidential preference law, as passed by the people in 1910, an elector can vote for but one candi date for delegate to a national con "ventlon or candidate for presidential -elector. The Smith bill contemplates amend ing this by dividing fen equal number of delegate in each of the congres sional districts and the balance at litT. TSss mcS elector 'can vote far Iks jMUKfeeraf -auUU&U frew&ls disteisjt &4 lor tbs cssAIAatss tress voted on Applogron's Mil providing what Is practically civil scrvlca for tho teachers of counties ot mora thnn 20,000 population brought an unani mous voto In favor ot tho bill, which had already passed tho houso. Refuse to Submit Home Rule. Notwithstanding tho fact that tho senate had sanctioned the submission to tho people In 1914 of tho so-called homo rulo nmondment, passed by the pcoplo In 1910, the house, by a voto of 32 to 25, refused so to submit tho amendment and it will not, therefore, go to tho pcoplo through the medium ot tho legislature. It Is Intimated hero that it will, however, bo voted on by means of tho Initiative. Electric Headlight Through Senate. Senator Ncunor's bill requiring rail road companies to equip their engines with electric headlights won tho day In tho scnato nftcr a hard fight. Tho bill 1ms been amended to allow tho railroads ono jonr In which to equip all engines with tho modern lights, nnd tho paragraph making it the duty of tho railroad commission to enforce tho not wnti struck out. Legislation Division Favored, Tho Mnlnrkoy nnd McColloch reso lution, currying n proposed constitu tional amendment, dividing tho boa slons ot tho legislature, paRsed tho soitnto desplto uomo opposition, Tho proposed nmcmlmont provides that bills bo Introduced for tho first '.10 days only, theso 20 ilnys to bo followed by an adjournment of not less than CO days nor mora than Q0 days, nnd tho bnlnnco ot tho session to ho devoted to consideration ot legislation. Reopens a Way For Income Tax. Two resolutions to place boforo tho voters Important constitutional nmond ments relating to taxation wero pann ed by tho houso. Ono resolution la practically nn en abling act to put Into effect the Initia tive meuHiiro passed nt tho Inst elec tion to exempt household goods. It I hold by many lawyers that such an enabling act will bo necessary to Icftillxo tho measure. Tho other proposed amendment would open tho way for n Btnto In c6mo tax. It Is practically n dupllcato ot tho Income tax! measure, defeated at tho last election by only 250 votes.
