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. !
