With the second week ; of the legislative session ended, v Ir- j tuully all bf the major tneuts, tcvpt, lt:rhapK, that of finance and taxation, have bein drawn. And, as was un tlclptled by friends of Governor Mulcr, water power and tho utilities hold the llmnllght. Komewhat bed: conjecture on tho part ot uninformed IcxlMlators as to what was happening to the adminis tration's two Important meaxurea, the water conaervatlon bill and the public service commlcnlon n' anure, was etlll ei when these two documents dropped Into the boppcr tho last of th. week, virtually without change from the lines suggested by the gavenor in his In suguro! mesRsge. Criticism of the actlviilei of th. state emergency board and the an nouncement that everything would bo done to bold down IcgUlatlon appro priations probubly fatured ths opera tions of the joint wa)3 and means com mittee during the fiit two weeks of t:.s 1931 lrgiKlatlv. scNlon. Appropriations Curtailed. At tba f(ri.t meeting of the wsys Mid means cominilttm the word went ut that unni'ceixary sppropriatlons vculd be eliminated, snd that many ;h r budget regu'.'Bts would be cut ti Die bone. Senators Btrayer and Voodrvard especially were emphatic In th 'ir assertions that ths time bad arrived when the state should curtail l:s expenditures snd live within its Income. Wocdward inarmed his collesgues that lie already bad decided to oppose th. budget requests ot the Oregon Stat. Humane society snd the battle ship Oregon commission. In attacking tb. operation! of th. state emergency board it was point ed out that during the past two years this body had auihoiized deficiency ap propriations segregating mors than (500.000. There also Is a possibility that a number of proposed capital ouilay ap propriations requested by various state institutions will go by th. boards. While it was admitted by members of the wsys snd means com hi it We that some cf these capital out lays r.ppearcd nereascry, they declared that tile state's fiuauces were la such condition as to warrant a slowing up in expenditures. Special mention was made of the exiting deficit In stat. funds aggregating between $3,000,000 and 14.000,000. Emergency Board Criticised. That th. tight to curtail th. ac tivities of the state emergency board will b. carried onto the floor ot both houses ot the legislature wss Indicated when two bills were Introduced that Mould curb materially the operations of ths board. One of the bills was introduced by Senator Upton which would cut ths borrd's sllowcnc. to j JlOO.OuO. There ia no limit st present, j Abolition of some 14 boards and ! ri'mmlMsions ot the state and the grouping of their duties snd functions timh-r a department of agriculture was proposed in a measure presented tor pri-lwninary consideration before a ji lnt sesHion ot the senate snd house i jrrlcultural committees. The meaxure would bring about a radical rearrangement ot the adminis trative functions ot th. state ss relat ing to agriculture. It Ij being urged as a means of cresting greater effic iency and giving the farmers snd stock racers of the state a greater return for the money expended. Would Abolish Many Boardi. Among the boards which would be done swsy with under the unified plan, which Is understood to bo similar in character to those now In effect in 43 ot the 48 states, are: State board ot horticulture, pur. seed board, state livestock board, state veterinarian, state dulry and food com mission, state chemist, state bacter iologist, advisory livestock brand ad justing board, stallion registration board, state fair board, state market ageut, state Urn. board and the state seed board. The new department also would take over certain regulatory functions of the state experiment station and the Oregon State college relating to seeds, fertilizers, lime, sprsy and rodent con trol. Tho entire power program coiiHtbted of three major measures the public utilities bill, the hydro-electric com mission and power conservation bill and the power district bill. The public utilities bill, which was introduced by Representative Arthur W. Lawrence of Denton county, pro vides for th. abolition ot the public j ' S'rrlcft commission snd the suliatllu tlon of s otia man public utilities com inlssloner to suporvlae the service, rates and activities ot public utilities of the state and to protect the public Interests In all controversies. The bill ftlno provides for optional home tule provllegr;s for cities, with general upcrvlory authority over any con tracts or ordinances affecting utlli i'ea reserved to the commissioner. Power Bill Introduced. The hydro-electric commission snd power conservation bill provides en entirely new setup by which the water resources ot the state1 may be appropriated for the development of electrical energy. A commission of three men, appointed by the governor and serving without salary, Is created to supervise the granting of all li censes by which water power sites may be developed by any but public liodles. The bill was Introduced by Senator Sam Brown ot Marlon county. In the district power bill, the grange sponsors hav. outlined th. plan and provided th. machinery by which the power district amendment approved at the November election may be made effective. It waa introduced In th. senate by J. O. Bailey, senator from Multnomah county, and bore th. names uf Senstors Wheeler and Brown and Representatives Gill, Tompkins, How ard, Johnson, McPhUllps, Lawrence and 8wlft. The measure provides for the formation of power districts under the supervision of the hydro-electric commission and Is In every wsy a cr - panlon proposal to the bill creatii.4 the commission. Safeguards have been thrown about the bill which, its sponsors believe, will protect It from abuse by promoters snd unwise or ganizers. League of Cities Has 10 Bills, Representative Cblnnock ot Jose phlne presented ten bills tor the Lcsgue of Oregon cities, including a measure for a state building code. The cities also requested an amend ment to provide for state co-operatioa In the construction and maintenance of primary highways within municipal ities, which now Is restricted to muni cipalities of not mors than 2000 popu lation. The bill would extend the co operation of th. stat. highway com mission to all cities. Creation of county boards ot edu cation is proposed In a bill by Reprs sfrftrre Marrbrwi of Una onswty. Tb. county board would bav. fire members, elected by representative, ot the local districts within th. coun ty, and th. board would select and employ th. county superintendent and assistants and would supervise th. county budget Bearing the names ot nearly one third ot the members ot th. stat. leg islature, a measure providing tor th. futnlsbing of tree textbooks to th. elementary and high school pupils ef the state was introduced In the house of representatives. The bill would effect the purchass of th. texts by the school districts and is mandatory on th. directors. The language ot the bill reads "authorized, empowered and directed." First-class districts are permitted to make their own purchases, but the state board ot education would serve ss purchasing sgent for districts of the second and third classes. The I'ortland coast short cut high way hill, when and if it get to the legislature, seems certain to develop cne of tha most strenuous battles of the 36th session. This became evi dent from comment on the state high way department ruling that the so called "ridge route" was the best of six routes investigated. Supporters ot the Wilson river route are determined that definite action shall be tuken by the commission or by the legislature this year. Another measure likely to produce lively discussion will make its appear ance this week. This is to be a bill by Senator Kiddle to repeal the one mill market road tax, which will b offered by Its author as the one r?ul chance to reduce the tax on real prop erty. Would Repeal Road Tan. Repeal would also do away with tho one-mill levied by the counties to match the stat. funds, and would wipe out at one swoop 12,000,000 now levied against property In the atate. Senator Kiddle will proposed that the equivalent of the state tax bo made up to the counties from the st; to highway fund. The legislature cannot accomplish tax relief by slashing a few dollars her. and there off ot a bud get, he avers. He argues that the ma jor highways ot the state are now completed and that the state highway fund Is in shape to stand the contri bution to county road construction. II any county desires to match the money with a special levy it may do so nt the discretion ot Its own court, but it would not b required uuder the measure. With the power bills before the leg islature, senators expressed the belief that the wheels would be speeded up during the next week, and that fu ture adjournments for tha week end will not bo taken until lata Friday or Lexington News Miss AMABEL STRODTMAN Preparations for the annual de clamatory contest Me wet! undtr way in Lexington schools Six pu pils have already entered from High School They are: Oratorical; Amabel S rodtman, Maurice Kelt- ry; Dramatic, Kaye Luttreli, Neva Warner; llumo.ous Erma Lane and Beulah Eskelson.

Sometimes Fold in s; Bed Surprised Its Occupant One of the earliest manifestations of a congested population lu New York was the folding bed, writes Henry Col lins Hrnwu iu Valentine's "Manual. This ingenious piece of furniture was designed to camouflage its real purpose by assuming during the daytime vari ous alien shapes, such as that of a wardrobe. dek or chiffonier. But the only oue who dwelt In a stat. of Illu sion whs Its owner. Everybody else knew It wus a folding bed, but the etiquette of the times forbade discus sion of the subjoct. . It was perfectly obvious that the bookcHse In the library of an over crowded apartment that had the ca pacity of Doctor Eliot's five-foot book shelf was a folding bed. Likewise that the large cheval glass In front ot an apparent cupboard concealed an- i other of the geuus, but these Innocent i fictions were taken ss a matter of course. There wus one type of folding bed, however, constructed with weights, 1 that had a disconcerting habit when It. equilibrium was disturbed ef fold ing up like a jackknife, to the intense amszement of th. occupant For a : stout gentleman to And himself sud denly awukened aud standing on his head In bed waa only a small Incon venience compared with th. Imminent danger of asphyxiation that th. slluii-1 tion afforded.
