G HE LEGISLATURE Bill Introduced to Repeal State ment Number One-Governor Will Veto It. MAY REMOVE STATE FAIR Several Measures Introduced to Re Apportion State Into Senatorial and Representative Districts Pew Pleasure Excursions Proposed To Look Out for Travelers' Welfare. Will Observe Admission Day. Salem, Jan. 25. The senatorial question being disposed of, both houses have settled down to a grind of routine work, a number of bills have been passed and the various committees are actively engaged on many others. The' third week bids fair to be as busy as the second and much work will no doubt be accom plished. There is a possibility that an amendment annulling the Statement No. 1 feature of the direct primary law will be considered favorably by both houses of the legislature at the present session. Such a bill was In troduced in the house by Representa tives Bean, of Lane, and Brooke, of Malheur, jointly. This bill in Its provisions is de cidedly anti-statement. It makes it a misdemeanor for any candidate for any office to make any pledge which la contrary to the constitution of the United States, or of the state of Oregon, or in violation of the oath of office to support the consti tution, or any agreement not to ner- form a duty imposed by the consti tution. There is a strong sentiment among the members of the house for the passage of such an amendment to the direct primary law. If this bill passes the houso, its chances in the senate are considered equally good. The only stumbling block in sight is the practical cer tainty of Its veto by Governor Cham berlain, who owes his election as United States senator to the enforce ment of Statement One pledges. Nat urally it is to be expected that he will look with disfavor on any at tempt to annul the very system that brought about his own election. May Remove State Fair and Capitol. Every two years there is enough talk of removing the capitol to send chilis up and down the spine of the Marlon county delegation. Uusually the project never gets beyond the conversation stage, but this year the movement is more In earnest, al though it is very improbable any thing will come of the proposal to remove the state capitol. There Is a possibility, though, that a determined effort will be made to transfer the state fair to Portland. Those who would take the fair to Portland, in addition to presenting the argument that Portland properly is the place for that Institution, point to the fact that the grounds of the Country Pair Association are admir ably suited as a permanent home for the state fair Of recent years it is a matter of knowledge that the ac commodations of the grounds now used In Salem for the state fair are inadequate. If the Institution Is to be kept in Salem more buildings and an in creased appropriation for mainten ance will be required. It Is for this reason that those advocating the re moval of the fair to Portland insist that this is the time to take the ini tiative to bring that about. While the bill has not been intro duced, a measure will be presented at thiB session for a branch insane asylum to be located in Eastern Oregon. Both Baker and Umatilla counties are rivals for this institu tion and conferences between the delegations from the two counties have fulled to effect a satisfactory setlement of the controversy as to which county will give in. This bill Is certain to furnish the subject for one of the hardest fights in the pres ent session. Would He-Apportion State. There are Beveral measures al ready introduced and contemplated which have the purpose of reappor tioning the state into senatorial and repescntatlve districts. It is very difficult to work out a system of pro portional representation, which will cover all subjects and carry out the Intention of the voters who adopted the constitutional amendment last June. Any measure presented touch ing on thla topic will scarcely be sat isfactory in its entirety, and the poli ticians oppose the adoption of a pro portionate representation law, for it will weaken their hold on the offices. The politicians are deeply interest ed in Senator Selling's bill for pro portional representation. It la a measure which affects every Republi can, Democrat, Socialist and Prohi bitionist, for uudcr its provisions every party will have some represen tation in the legislature. Selling contends that it is desir able that a law for proportional rep resentation should be made at this session, because the constitutional amendment adopted last June is now effective and h rtmfter an elector can vote for more than ony candidate for ' epresentatlve or senator !n thT Iej slature. ?ew Junket Committees Named. There is nothing doing thus far :hls session of the house in the way it investigating committees end lunketlng trips. During the opening iaya c! the session there were intro duced the usual number of resolut ions calling for investigation of the rarious state institutions and com missions. They took their regular ord(,r and went to the committee n .resolution?, where, with only two exceptions, they are still slumbering. The two exceptions were those pro viding for a Joint committee to in vestigate the records of the Oregon commission to the Alaska-Yukon-Paclflc Exposition and that providing Tor a committee to confer with a similar representation from ., the Washington legislature regarding uninform fishing laws. The two houses have nrovlAe.A for a Joint committee with instructions to devise and report at this session a practical plan for a permanent sys tem for auditine the books nnd no counts of the state Institutions and commissions. To Protect Travelers. The nine-foot bed sheet bill, in troduced by Kellaher, of Multnomah, passed the senate. The bill treated as a Joke by some, but most of those who discussed it treated it seriously, arguing that long sheets were necessary for the protection of the health of the traveling public, It was explained that hotels and lodging-houses seldom washed their blankets and comforters, so that if the patron was to be protected from infectious diseases the sheets must be long enough to fold down over the covers at the top. Senator Kellaher's fire-escape bill, applying to all hotels and lodging nouses, passed tna senate. It re quires that all hotels of more than one story in height be Drclded with rope securely anchored near a win dow and that the rope be knotted every 12 inches. This will nrnvlrio means by which lodgers may escape in case of Are. Buildings cf more than one story must have iron fir escapes. Provide for State Publicity. Secretary of State P. W. Benson has asked the legislature to arrange for the publication of a small pam phlet on the resources of Oregon, giving authentic information regard lng all portions of the state, which pamphlet may be mailed to people In the East who write for information At present there is no public docu mem wnicn tne state officers can send in answer to such lnaulrles. The secretary's idea is that the pamphlet snouid contain information furnished by the several counties, edited to see that It Is correct, and that each coun ty be assigned the same amount of space in the pamphlet. No Liquor for Dry Counties. Importation of liquor Into dry counties is prohibited by the terms of a bill introduced in the house by Representative Davis, of Multnomah. This Is the first measure treating with the local option question that has made its appearance at this ses sion. This bill proposes to nrohiblt thn trannportation or shipment of intoxi cating liquors into any county or pre cinct of the state while the sale of such Intoxicating liquor Is prohibited In any such county or precinct. Life Term for Highway Robbery. Representative DImmlck's high way robbery bill, which passed the house, provides a penalty of from 10 years to life imprisonment for per sons convicted of highway robbery, being armed with a deadly weanon. The present penalty is from five to 20 years' Imprisonment. The amend ed bill leaves the question of wheth er or not the sentence shall be for life at the discretion of the trial Judge. Unarmed persons convicted of highway robbery may be sen tenced from three to 15 years in the state penitentiary. Changes in Railroad Laws. Only minor changes of the rail road law are asked by the railroad commission. Three of its bills have appeared in the house. It will ask for two additional bills one for compulsory fencing of railroad right-of-way; another to authorise the commission to employ experts for determining value of operating sys tems and admitting such findings as prlma-facle evidence. Celebrate State's Anniversary. Committees from the house and the senate have been named to co operate with the Oregon Historical Society for a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Oregon's admission to the Union. These exercises will be held in the house of representatives at Salem, at 4 p. m. Monday, Feb ruary 15. The details of the pro posed programme of exercises have been left to a joint committee. Fisfwries Committees to Meet." Oregon's joint fisheries committee has decided to meet with a like com mittee from the Washington legisla ture at Seattle, Saturday, January SO, and at that time decide on uni form fish legislation that will be pro posed for enactment by the two leg islatures for the regulation of the Columbia river Ashing industry. Haw Standard Iterry Boxes. Senator Nottingham has intro luced a bill for the purpose of re quiring that hereafter all berry boxes for use in this state shall contain 53.46 cubic ,inchea, inside. This is the stze of the box now used by the Hood River berry-growers and the size most generally used throughout tne stato. ! SUMMONS In the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Umatilla County.
