SOLONS
AVERSE
TO WORK
But Many of Them Have Pet
Measures Up Their
Sleeves
Two carloads of legislators, clerks
and attendants came up from Port
land on tho Albany locnl Sunday
night, and wont in search of tho hash
houses and sleeping roosts. Most of
them still had llngorlng on tholr pal
ate toothsome reflections of tho good
cookery of Salem prlvato boarding
housos and hotols, and roturned to
their quarters at tho last rogular cos
sion.
The splons in tho city last evening
gathered in tho corridors of tho Wil
lamette Hotel, and compared notes on
tho proposed work of tho session.
Whoh approached tho members gen
erally stated that thoy wore in favor
of a short session, an'd their destra
was to complete tho necessary work
as quick as posslblo, but thoro was
apparont n.i undercurrent in favor of
a long session and a program of gonor
al legislation. .AH, or nearly all of the
mombers of tho legislature, havo n
few pot measures thoy would llko to
lntroduco', and seem to bo waiting only
for somo ono olso to propose to lot
down the bars, wjion thore will bo n
flood of bills equal to that usually
seen nt a rogular soseion. Many of
the members have charter bills to
spring, and are anxious to have somo
one break tho Ice, though the fear Is
oxprossod by a fow of tho Republi
cans that such a course would be bad
politics.
This "much is certain tho work of
ilio solons will not be confined to tax
legislation, for thore are enough fa
voring the correction of tlio recorders'
feo law to insuro the bringing of that
measure boforo tho logislnturo at this

nlso has bills ready to lay bofore the
sosslon to regulate the .oxccutlon of

hanging first awaiting tho action of
the loglslatvro, and should nothing bo
dono, tho case will bo appealed to
the United SUtos courts by the
friends of tho condemned man, for tho
purposo of caving his life. If tho log

It Is practically certain that such n
bill win be proposed.
The Republicans all seem to favor
a conference this afternoon or tonight.
when It will probably be determined
what the program will be. Some ob
ject to a caucus, for thoy do not wish
to bind themselves, but it is oxpectod
that at a conferonco, which is sure to
be hold, a program will bo arranged,
a stooring committee appolntod, mid
all arrangements completed for gon
oral legislation.
Below aro a fow statements made
by somo of the " mombors,, showing
their positions1 rogardlng tho longth of
tho sosslen:
W. T. Hume I think tho session
should not bo too short Now that
wo aro horo, wo should tako ample
tlmo for tho full consideration of the
tax quostlons. I havo no special bills
to lntroduco, bub. If tho flood-gates are
oponod, I will havo somo matters1 to
propose. No now legislation, but con
rectiou of old laws that need It badly.
Thoro aro laws on tho statute books
that aro unconstitutional, and Bhquld
bo corrected.
J. E. Hunt I havo no now legisla
tion to propose, nnd think tho sosslon
should not be prolonged.
M. A. Miller (Linn) The session I
think will be short, but It may last
to tho ond of tho month. Very little
will bo dono I think, oxaept correct
ing the tax muddle, and a few amend
ment may be passed correcting other
laws. I have an amendment to the
Lebanon charter that I will lntroduco,
but that need not take up moro than
six or seven minutes of the timo of
the senate and houso. Tho re-enactment
