Or., March 7 In addi tion to vetoed bills acted on Tuesday, the legislature enacted four new laws. Two of theso wcro entirely new bills, one was a vetoed bill ot tho 1911 session, reconsidered and passed, and ono a house bill of small importanco taken from tho tablo In the senate and passed. One of tho new bills was by An derson of Wasco, II. I). G33, relating to county fairs, so as to make It pos sible to levy a tax this year for the holding of county fairs. A bill pre viously passed was defective !ntbat it left no way to ralso money for ex hibitions this year. The other new bill enacted Is S. D. 337, by Moscr, amending tho license tax law In its application to foreign corporations. This is an emergency measure td meet an expected decision of tho state supremo court holding the present law unconstitutional. This would cause a loss of 154,000 or mora to tho state In license fees oxcpt for the new law. The bill as passed fixes n flat rate ot $100 a year for foreign corporations doing busi ness In Oregon. ' In tho last hours tho vetoed house bill 110 of tho 1U11 session was re considered by tho senate and passed. This is known as the "weed bill," making It tho duty of property own ers along highways to keep the roads free from noxious weeds. Tho senato also passed II. D. C03, by Forbes, relating to terms of court In tho seventh Judicial district. This had been lying on the table. PARDON TO ALLEN lUCIIMOND, Va March 7.

Mm OREGONIANS SEEK MRS m GOVERNOR REFUSES ' PORTLAND'S T HE Portland Commercial of the Rogue- River fish veto, and President Piper sent the following letter to the members of the legislature: "I am Instructed' tiv tho board of coventors of tho Commercial club to Inform you that the board Unanimously approves house bill 107, opening the Hogtto river to commercial Mslilng, and desires It passed over tho gov ernor's veto." This was to be expected. Anything that .lackson county is interested in is likely to be opposed by the Port land Commercial' club. Last summer the club openly op posed the Medford initiative county bonding act which was in all essentials the same as that finally passed by the legislature. Commenting on the former the Grouts Pass Courier cites it as ono instance ot "how tho commercial bodies ot the state viewed the selfish attempt of a few Jackson county people to cut oft a source ot revenue to Joscphluo county. This action Is appreciated by southern Oregon." The Courier deceives itself if it thinks for ono minute that the Portland business men care a continental about the sources of revenue forJosephine county any more than they do for Jackson or any other place outside of the metropolis. Neither Grants Pass nor any other southern Oregon town. is important enough to arouse Portalnd business men to action. Portland's action is due to the fact that Portland capital purchased the cannery at the mouth of the river and that its operation means bringing in a quarter of a million dollars a year to the state, which means greater trade for Portland. The passage of the bill over the veto was favored by Portland because it permitted commercial fishing at the mouth of the stream and hence the operation of canneries not because it aided a dozen professional poachers at Grants Pass. The same action would have been taken if the bill prohibited all fishing above the Illinois. SALARY GRAB vs. SQUARE DEAL. IN a belabored attempt to justify the adjourned session of the legislature to vote salary grabs, the Oregouian exhibits its eustomaiy crookedness1 and all around un fairness to Governor "West. In first page headlines, the Oregouian on Thursday says, "General Salary Grab "West's Rill. leg islature Saves Money." Then a few cases in Lake and other counties are cited to prove that the Gill bill, fathered by West, increased county salaries over the in crease voted by the legislature. A list of comity salaries as provided by the legislature and as provided by the Gill bill follows. Its own list proves the Oregouian a liar, for adding up the figures for the counties given the total salaries as fixed by the legislature over the governor's veto as $87,200 while those provided by the Gill bill are $S5,:i(X), a saving of $1,900 a year to taxpayers. But only part of the counties are considered. The other counties would show under the Gill bill a still greater reduction over the payrolls now in effect. The Gill bill, as drafted by the governor, classified the counties into groups dependant upon population, assessed valuation and area. The salaries provided for each group were not fixed by the governor, but left blank, the amounts to be supplied by the legislature. The sponsors for the bill based the payroll upon the present actual average cost. The advantage of the bill Avas that the pay of all county employes was automatically fixed, for when the work ex ceeded a certain mark, from increased population and valuation, the county moved into a higher class with high er wages provided. It ended the biennial legislative scramble for salary grabs, and took the county payroll out of state politics. The Gill bill was a most meritorious piece of legisla tion and there is no excuse for the legislature rejecting it to maintain the present biennial salary grab, especially as the legislature passed its campanion bill making coun ty treasurers tax collectors instead of sheriffs, doubling tho work and quadruppling the responsibility without in creasing the treasurer's pay. The legislature raised the pay of numerous sheriffs, including the sheriff of Jackson county, and relieved them of much of their work and most of their responsibility, which is shoved onto the treasurer whom it refused to pay for the additional labor. "Why did not tho legislature correct this injustice at tho adjourned session instead of putting in all of its time raising the pay of office holders who contracted with the people to serve two or four years at the prevailing wage scale? The treasurer is not getting a squaie deal, neither are the people. Who New Supreme Illicit disappointment was express ed in Medford when it became known (hat Governor West Iind announced tho appointment of W. M. Ramsey ot MoMinnville and Charles L.

Honmes, who wuh tho unani mous choice of the southern Oregon bar, regardless of politics, nnd rec ommended by democrats throughout the Mate, -would be one of tho justice appointed.
