Salem. — Following precedent, the
legislature started on the final week
of the 40-day session with the usual
jam of unfinished business.
Both
houses were badly congested and the
closing days will undoubtedly witness
tbe usual confusion, heated arguments
and strenuous efforts to save pet bills.
It seems to be a habit with legisla­
tures to waste much valuable time dur­
ing the early days of a session while
important measures are held back for
committee tinkering and then rushed
through during the closing hours
when there is little time for consid­
eration.
The measures which ran the gaunt­
let of both houses during the first five
weeks of the present session were
mostly unimportant and of no great
interest to the state at large, Many
of the big bills remained for final
consideration by one or both houses.
Night sessions will be in order this
week, and President Ritner and Speak­
er Bean will endeavor to speed up
work. Perhaps the steam roller will
be oiled up and placed in commission
in the attempt to finish up the work
this week. Hard work and mufflers
on the orators may enable tbe legisla­
ture to clear up most of the Important

the voters an opportunity to pass up­
on the several constitutional amend­
ments which have been and are yet to
be referred to the voters by the pres­
ent legislative session. Among these
problems are soldiers’ bonus, the de-
part ment of hydro-electric power and
extension of the legislative session to
60 days.

Yet, when it is tried, it does not work

essence which the new systems lack
—an element compounded of the ec­

as Morality. Tamper with either,
