LEGISLATURE
WORWHARD
LAWMAKERS AT SALEM
MUCH IN EARNEST.
Log Rollins; 1ai In I'vldence Tha
In Former Sessions Clianccn
for Consolidation Pro
gram Still Uncertain).
(8U1 to The BuIMIn.)
SALBM, Or., Jan. 23. The first
10 days ot tho legislative sessloa
havo disclosed that Oregon has aa
earnest-minded, conscientious and
honest body of men grinding away
In Its legislative halls as It over has
had in Its history. Prompt aette
on Important measures, Inclination
to abandon trifling or possibly detri
mental legislation to the scrap heap,
and a laudable desire to do up their
business on schedule time and re
turn to the farm, tho office or the
factory, are determinations whlek
are written on tho taco ot nearly
every member or crop out In their,
talk.
Experience through over sir Ore
gon Legislatures convinces tho writer
that the Oregon taxpayer in golag
to get moro for his money this ses
sion than ever bofore; that he Is
going to see less Juggling, leas leg
rolling and less political hypocrisy la
this session than over before. Tnw
bo Is going to hear a lot about those
particular things, but they are go
ing to develop from a very few ot
the members and a very few ot the
news writers, who have come up
here for the avowed purpose of
"starting something."
Petty Acts Criticized
Even in the first week of the ses-
;slon a member or two Jerked loose
the Veils which have been conceal
ing their .aspirations and began to
let their political and personal am
bitions get full sway. It is evident
however that these members will
not get very far at this session, aa
already they are being criticised br
thcir colleagues who declare that the
time has come for tho Legislature to
forget petty political ambitions and
to bo a medium for tho enactment
of bona fido decent legislation, and
I to let It go at that.
Tho big Important issues ot the
session seem to havo gotten away
under rather decent auspices and
have a good outlook for 'being
brought to some successful termina
tion. Tho members aro all agreed
that there must be some sort of a
concrete reconstruction program laid
out which will hold water and will
actually accomplish tho ends sought.
A Joint reconstruction committee
will grapplo with thso problems and
tho members have shown their good
faith by appealing to the leading
men ot thp atate for their views on
the subject. Little politics will be
injected Into tho reconstruction
