Commons pretty well rules today’s legislative roost. Con ferences occur most often be tween members of opposing po litical parties. Lords has re latively little tn say. Conference committees in me Oregon Legislature are appoin ted less frequently than they are in Congress. And the system is a little different. It’s been said nearly 10 percent of bills passed in th« nation's capital emerge from conference. Some times those are free con ferences, in whichconfereescan meddle with the entire bill- not just offending amend ments. This is the way those pesky riders are attached to Congressional legislation, often having nothing to do with a particular measure’s original subject. Oregon conferences are clo sed and usually invoked to re solve differences involving 20 or 30 bills. A proliferation of conference committees might indicate basic differences of opinion between presiding of ficers. If original conferees are stalemated, a second commit tee is appointed. Sometimes as many as four conference committees have been named on a single bill. Political scientists point up I drawbacks and advantages.
