A gigantic tidal wavo has swept

ing of the Bill
Two nntl-pasd measures hnvo been
Introduced before tho houso for con
Lslderatlon, Keprosontntlvo Northrup,
of Multnomah county, being tho au
thor of one. and Roprosontatlvo Jack
son, of Douglas, tho other. Both
bills 'uro identical In tholr pro
visions, generally speaking, but n lit
tle oversight on tho part of Mr. Jack
son, In tho preparation of his nieas
uro, In his clause of oxcoptlons from
operation of Us prohibitory provis
ions, practically nullifies tho effect of
tho ontiro bill.
Mr. Jackson's bill prohibits tho is
suanco of frco transportation to any
porson by any railroad or other trnnH
portntlon company, but excepts rail
way omploycs, Inmates nnd attend
ants of blcmosynnry, reformatory or
ponal institutions, which latter are
privileged to rscolvo a reducod rate,
and" to the "United Stntcs nnd Stato
of Oregon." This last clauso is con
sldorcd to bo too indefinite, or prac
tically without restriction or exemp
tion, nnd tho wholo bill would bo of
no avail, so far as the Intentions of
Its author nro concorned, Mr. Jnck
son's lnten'tlons,, doubtless, wero to
provldo n speclnl rnto for national
or stato troops or penco otllcora in
cases of emergency, but tho bill docs
not ho specify, nnd tho way It roads
ns presented nny citizen of tho stato
nnd United Stntcs would bo exempt
from Its provisions.
"Strictly speaking," facetiously re
marked Attornoy-Goneral Crawford,
Is discussing the measure "tho whole
net would bo unconstitutional. It:
that tho exemption section docs not
Includo Europo, Asia, Africa and
Australia, and may bo construed as
"class legislation nnd undue discrim
ination ns to tho nntlonas mentioned."
