Tho ufate police meaeire, li.troduc- d by Kenntor lM!y as an adminlstra t'on bill, seems certain, however, to develop a fight, as Secretary of State Hoss already has announced his cp- !

Among tho bills passed by the sen fto last week was one Introduced by Senator Kiddle authorizing a refund i f the motor vehicle fu.-ls tax on gaso ! li te not used on tho public highways. This refund r.'fers particularly to the 1 cent gasoline tax law. Provision previously was made for a refund un Or the Scent gasoline tax act. There also was ap; rov-d ly the sen ate a bill Introduced by S.nator Craw- on the tunnel bonds. Neither will the signature of the governor or secre tary of state appear on tbess securi ties under the provisions of this meas ure. The bonds are to be, retired by the toll collected from the patrons. Highway Commission States Position.

Tax legislation, tho mos-t vital eco nomic nnd governmental issue front ing the whole people of the state nnd this assembly, enmo formally b foro the legislature for tho first time early In the week when, in tho hall of representatives, an open honrlnc was held by tho tax committee to heat arguments for nnd against the In tangibles bills now resting in tho com m it tee, For the last ten days or so those tax measures have boon sleeping. No meet inns of tho committees hnro hern hold since It was determined to let Individual members father these most Important Issues rather than for the committees to sponsor them nnd send them on their way to victory or de feat. The problem, as It now Vests before the legislature, has simmered Uowu , matter for tho legislature to dcter . mine whether it desired to constrict ; the highway program to help lighten I the tax load on property, by repealing the market road levy and thus reduc ing the construction account ot the highway commission by that amount. State Should Share Losses. I The state would bo forced to shnr . j Its burden of losses duo to delinquent I taxes under two bills Introduced in J the house by Representative Sneil of Cilliam, Sherman and Wheeler couti J tics. Under the present law It Is mant'a j tory upon the county to turn over to j tho state a ccrtnln fixed percenage of j the tax levy ns the stae's shnro. This j money is to be used for state purposes. , In the event of any delinquent taxes j the county must share any loss. Reviewing tho legislative Jam that has developed, many of tho veteran members nro now predicting a long session, extending some 10 to 15 days i "eyond the regulation 40-day limit. In i gauging the period that the luwmak j ers have yet to go, all depends on J whether tho controversial subjects of liitlo moment can be shoved Into the background and the big business b 1 plven right of way through commit , tees and onto tho floors of the two ' housci for action. Tho prospects are not particularly bright. For Sale Extra good cedar pests deliver ed at your rsnch. 15 cer.is, or will trade for turkey red wheat AdJress, William Miller, Box 403, lone, Oregon.

"City ef Spire." There are so many fine spire and towers on the churches and palace In Copenhagen that It has been descriln-1 as the "City of Spires." Although It U no ancient city, Copenhagen Is now modern In appearance. The earlier boti-cs built of wood were destroyed by lire in the Eighteenth ceutury and have been replaced with brick and stone buildings. Copenhagen Is notel for Its beautiful parks nnd gardens, unions which the most famous are the Tlvoll gardens, IhIU out in 1&J3. At night they are lighted with thousands of fairy lights and the theaters, res taurants, concert nnd dunce hnlls In It olTer countless nt tractions. Indeed. one could easily call it "Denmurk's Fairyland." Old Maichuetli Church Uinghiim, Mass., possesses an ex traordinary number of old buildings, but the Old Ship church Is by fur the most Interesting of them all, says an article In the lioston Tost. It la not un exaggeration to any that It ranks, without any qualifications, among the fev most Interesting historic buildings In the country. It vn9 built In 10SI. the second church In the town. It has been enlarged twice, but the original building Is still there. Competent nu thoritles say that It Is "the oldest house for public worship In the United States which stands upon Its original site nnd continues to be used for the purpose for which la wu erected."
