WASHINGTON
Soldier and statesman, rarvst unison; .
High poised example of great duties done
Simpl.v as breathing, a world's honors worn
As life's indiferent gifts to all men born;
Dunibic;' himicL', unless it were to God,
But for his barefoot soldier eloquent,
Tramping the snow to coral where they trod,
Hied by his awe in hollow-eyed content;
Modest yet firm as Nature's self; unblamed
Save by the men his nobler temper shamed;'
Not honored then or now because he wooed
The popular voice, but that he still withstood;
Broad-minded, higher-souled, there is but one
Who was all this and ours and all men's -Washington.
i WHAT'S
A
WATT
YOU know that a'60-',Vatt lamp gives more
light than a 15-Watt one. Haven t you wonder
dd how this term "Watt is arrived at? It is
Nothing more or less than the measurement
of electrical accomplishment - by multiplying
volts and amperes. We will classify thefe
terms by this analogy.
There's the familliar water system in your
home, tank, pipes and faucets. We will as
sume the tank to be the power station, with
water serving as electricity. " The amount of
water flowing through the pipes, regulated
bX the size would be electrically measured
in amperes; the pressure with which it fiows
is known electrically as its voltage, measured
in volts; the result you achieve at the faucet
in the water you use represents the number
of watts you use when you snap the switch
electrically. The KILOWATT HOUR is 1000
watts used for one hour,- the least expen
sive of your daily necssities.

Salem, Ore. With fho third, and
most hectic week of the leglsluthe
session paused Into history, Oregon
lawmakers found themselves with
over 300 bills and at least three first
rate fights on tlulr hunds.
The. punt Week was marked by a
bitter battle over tho Port of Pott
land commission which will be carried
over into this week, and maybe, luter.
end the opening gun In tho administra
tion fight over the public utilities
luoasuro. Also, the fint tin bills made
their appearauce lu u touutlve sort
of fnnhlon, being circulated as sug
gested measures to learn the opinion
of the legislator.
During the first threw weeks that
the assembly bad been in fu talon the
j two houses have passed an appropria
tlon bill providing for lesUlntlve tx
pense. The senate hns passod the
Miller bill cIobIuk thj Roruo river to
commercial fishing, and has sent it
over to trouble the house.
House Bills Reach Limit.
There have been H3 bills Intro
duced in the seuaie. and U5 intro
duced in the house, at tho conclu
sion of the first 20 days of the ses
sion, which is the deadline for free
and untrammcled introduction of bills
in the house.
The senate has no stricture on Intro
ducing bills In the upper branch.
A few minor senate bills have run
the KHuntlct of the house, and a few
unimportant houfe bills have gone
through the senate, but so far as vital
legislation Is concerned not a single
measure has come to the stage of
third reading and final passage in
either branch of the legisluturo.
Senator Vpton has the distinction of
fathering the first salary increase bill

tne co' t transportation, meala and
lodging. Senator Johnson made It plain
taat the purpose of this resolution was
" lrl"8 but atandardUatiun of
these expenses.
State Boards Expense Criticised.
A statement prepared by the state
hudget director at the request of the
Joint ways and means committee
showed that state officials and em
Jloyes expended more than $1,000,000
fi.r transportation, meala and lodgings
i.itriu the lant blennlum. Of this
t mount, $350,000 v. as expended by the
higher eoucatlonal Institutions. The
i late game commission expended $113,
t '0. Senator Johnson declared that
the time had arrived when these costs
iriould be curtailed.
The senate alho adopted memorials
t King congress to Increase the tariff
en dried eugs Imported from China,
xt.fl extending financial relief to the
various irrigation districts There also
vas adopted a memorial seeking fed
eral legislation for the construction of
tho iJeachuteg Irrigation project.
Among the Important bills reported
j favorably was one Introduced In the
senate, by Senator Ilurke providing
for the repeal of the law requiring
jcei.liicutes of public noceHslly and
convenience. Senator Ilurke declared
that this law had resulted In mono
polios, and was not In the best In
terests of the public. Senator Ilurko'a
bill was referred to the railroads and
utilities committee,
Undoubtedly this question will cause
a battle In tho senate, ld by tho small
utilities over the slate who Insist that
it stands as the only protection be
tween them and the encroachments of
the big power and cloetrlc utilities
and the telephone company Inci
dentally, it may or may not bo signi
ficant, that not a single representative
of either of the major utilities or tho
main line railroads of the atato, np
peared at the committee hearings to
enter objections against tho repeal.
Intangibles In Open.
The intangibles tax inuddhi niado Hh
first open bow to tho house when two
measures were introduced Monday,
One provided for tho collection of In
fungibles income for tho year 1929,
and also provided for the rcfundlng'of
uch taxoa paid under the void act
of the 1929 Bfisslon amounting to ap
proximately $300,000.
Tho second bill provided a new In
tangibles net which would commence
collodions for tho 19.10 tax period.
Iluili bills probably aro In for a hard

affecting the operation of the highway
department will be considered and dls

Road Measures Get Attention,
There nre a number of other bills
of not so much Importance pending
nil up for committee consideration
during this week.
In addition to these proposals must
be remembered Senator Kiddle's bill
to repeal the one mill market road
levy and require the highway commis
sion to spend an amount equal to that
raised uuder the old levy, In the con
struction of secondary roads, out of
state highway funds.

The governor was represented as ex

to pioneer the sales tax system on
