Salem.—Owing to the congestion of business in the senate, brought about largely by the fight over what is known as the paving hill, which would bond the state for $6,000,030 for highway purposes, the legisla ture was unable to complete its work Saturday and in order to clear up un finished business of importance both houses adjourned until Monday. V' hen the senate adjourned Saturday night about 100 bills still remained on the calendar, but the house calen dar was in better shape. Monday was the -Lid day of the Present session, but really only the >L.d actual working day. Members get no pay utter the 40th day of the session. While the $0,000,000 bonding meas ure passed the house by a vote of to 27 it did so only after a spectac- ular battle, during which it was as serted that Governor Withycombe would veto the measure if it carried an emergency clause. This threat or a veto was effective for the emer gency clause was eliminated, as it passed the house, leaving an oppor tunity to invoke the referendum. Measure Has Hard Time Passing. M hen tlic house took up the hill for final action prospects were not bright tor its passage. Several of the ,!X members who had signed the measure when it was introduced were wavering, lint after nearly two hours of argument and parliamentary man euvering the bill went through sub stantially in the same form as orig inally introduced. After blocking action on the $6.000.- 00d road bond bill in the senate for several hours by voting down every motion to suspend the rules and tiring it up for passage, senators opposing the hill agreed to let it come before the senate on its merits and refer it to the people for approval.
