THB SWAMP
IN Iho 1011 KOKHiou, II. H. ISO wils imshoiI by Iho Ittnvor
mitii assomhly faction of tho lojjiHlaturo. It ituihorly.t'd
tlio stale laiul hoard to oontraot tor tho drainago of lakos,
niarslips and swamps, tho roolainalion of hupIi sithtnrrtfnd
land, and its salo to tho person or corporation roclahning
them.
The hill vas vetoed by the governor hooanso it did not
provide lor the wdo of. tho land in small traets to aetnal
settlors, and heeansiJ it enabled great land corporations to
secure largo traets at small eost and hold them for spceula
tive purposes, retarding development.
The legislature in its first efforts to "put the governor
in a hole" over-rode the veto at the behest of its author,
Senator Thompson, who is said to represent large land cor
porations in Lake county. There are 27H.000 acres of such
land involved.
The law creates a land monopoly, because the state
board is forced to deed the reclaimed land to the party
draining it. The parties securing the land, also secure the
water they drain or pump off, which they are enabled to
sell lor reclamation purposes, and thus secure a virtual
monopoly of lands surrounding the lakes and swamps.
Under the law, the reclaimer gets the land at his own
price, for there is no competition and if the board fixes
the price higher than suitable, the reclamation stops. The
reclaimer is not required to give bonds to carry out the con
tract, and no penalty for failure to complete agreement.
AliU has been introduced to repeal this law. It is 11. B.
57S. 13y passing it, the legislature will have a chance to
redeem itself with the people. If it fails, the legislature
will have succeeded in putting itself "in a'hole" instead of
the governor, for the referendum will bo invoked and in
dividual legislators be made to explain why they voted to
give away the public domain.
THE LEGISLATIVE FIZZLE.
""pillKTT-ONK bills have been passed by both houses
- and sent to the governor in the first 31 days of the
session just a bill a day out of .039 bills introduced. Such
is the extraordinary record made up to today by the 1)0
gentlemen who comprise the Oregon legislature. Xot one
appropriation measure of any consequence is included in
these 31 bills. But four are of constructive importance."
This is the opinion of the Portland Journal. The opin
ion of the Portland Telegram is equally flattering. Says
the Telegram:
"Oregon legislators have just eight days left in which
to make amends for 32 days given over to the most dismal
farcial procedure ever marking the conduct of a law-making
body in the state's history! Up to date the U7th assem
bly belongs in a class by itself the worst ever."
These are the golden opinions the legislature is winning
in all quarters. Jt costs the people $T) a minute while the
legislature is in session and they spend their days and
nights protecting special interests. Saving the corpora
tions, playing peanut politics, giving away state swamp
lands, wagon road grant lands, tide-lands, ami refusing to
enact anti-trust laws or power tax laws, or legislation to
curb monopoly.
So far the legislature has failed utterly to enact anv
good roads legislation the one thing demanded bv every
one. Only six days arc left. A
Six days left to act on nine million dollars of appropria
tions not yet out of committee. A reign of chaos during
closing days, with hastily passed, ill-advised measures en-
acted by the hundreds is the prospect.
No wonder people talk of abolishing

of the Portland east side freight terminal, further develop
