VAWTER TELLS
OF WORK DONE
Jackson County's representative Com
ments on Legislation Affeqtim?
Southern Orerjon Horticultural
Bill Killed Jackson Delegation
Opposed Introduction of Politics.
(Hy Representative V. I. Vnwlcr.)
What measures were beforo tho
legi-laturo of particular interest to
Jackson county?
One was tho horticultural .bill,
which I introduced. It was prepared
bj' the Horticultural societj', whic;h
met hero last November. Tltij) tiill
proposed nn entirely new horticul
tural code nnd provided for one com
missioner, with his hendfpmrlers in
Portland, nml provided ior.Ajtfcnitcd
number of Ktate iimpectors.-rCThis'bill
enrricd iio larger appropriation than
tho existing law. For some reason
the bill met with Htrenuoiis opposition
from certain members of tho present
commission nnd some cx-niembcrs. It
appears thnt there has been a good
deal of ill-feeling between the differ
ent factions of tho existing commis
sion during tho two or threo j'ears
last pa-t. JJ was claimed by tho op
ponents to this hill that it was fram
ed in the interest of Mr. Roberta, who
for some time hns been president of
the existing horticultural board, and
was not in the interest of the general
public, with tho result that tho bill
was mado the target of all factions
and was defeated some days beforo
tho session closed.
Home ltulc Law
'One fenturo of tho proposed law
was of especial valuo to Jackson
county, ns it contained ft"rparH$raph
known as tho "home rule'' law, pro
viding thnt Jackson county should
hne its own entomologist, nnd co
oMrating with the county court, Iho
county entomologist would have full
control in nil matters n fleeting horti
cultural interests. I Lelicvo nt n fu
ture time this proposed net will bo
revived nnd will hceomo the law of
the state.
The Siskiyou rond hill is of some
imiwrtnnee. I think it will accom
plish what it was intended to accom
plish, namely, to commit tho fetnto
highway commission to Iho comple
tion of tho highway over tho Siski-you-J.
Urging, the adoption of this
measure, I claimed that the Siskijoiis
wero a natural barrier to tho south
part of tho state in tho same manner
and to the same extent, although in
n different waj', that Ibo Columbia
ihcr is to an cut ranee into the stnto
from the north. I stated ou the floor
of the house that Jackson conntv had
never found fault that tho state had
assumed and undertaken to pay in
terest on tho bonds issued for tho
building of the interstate hridgo be
tween Oregon and Washingten: that
it was n public improvement, of gen
eral benefit lo the state, and while
Jackson county would have very littlo
direct use of tho interstate bridge, nt
the sumo time it was an improvement
needed for the upbuilding of tho
stnt. This view was genernllj nceept
ed by representatives, with tho result
thnt the Siskiyou hill has passed both
the.senato and tho houso, nnd I think
doubtless will bo signed by tho gov
ernor.
Assessment ami Taxation T
What about assessment nnd taxa
tion I
A new assessment and tax low hou
been passed which I think will ho
found in tho ultimate ns n worknhlo
law, and ono thnt will provo fairly
satisfactory. Tljo collection of lnxe
will ho placed in the hoods of tjia '
