THE legislature la ngaln In session, beginning lis 27th silling tills morning. At tills writing the or ganization him not been completed, mid there seems to bo a general Idea that (hero will be a pretty warm time be fore this Is accomplished. Of course, tho proper time, tho only thno to com ment on Its work Is when It Is done, and It is Idle to even hazard nny guesses as to what It will do. It Is composed nf nn unusually bright anil brainy lot of men, and its work should show their ability. Tliero are many Im portant things to come before it, among them being tho appropriation for the Panama exposition, over which there is n wide divergence of opinion. It Is agreed that Oregon should make a good exhibit, one worthy of her, bill tho amount proper to lie expended, and sufficient to make a showing the Btnto mny take prldo In, Is the debat able ground, and It will no doubt be fully debated. Another thing that will occupy some time Is amendment of the Initiative law. Tliero Is r general feeling that tho '!w Is weak, In that, under It, hun dreds of matters can be taken up at any election, and the ballot so encum bered that the voter Is unable to vole Intelligently. This Is. no doubt, true, It. is ensy to diagnose tho disease, but the discoverer of the remedy will be n Jnner or a Freldiiiann. Many sug gestions bavo been made, one by Judge Lowell, which would restrict the num ber of measures on tin ballot, but. this has the fatal defect, that any so dis posed by proposing the given number of Initiative measures, any old unim portant thing, could prevent the peo ple voting on measures of real import ance, Tho legislature may find the reme dy, but wo doubt It. Tliero seems to bo n general senti ment among the members that they should get down to business, protect the state's finances, cut out graft and biincombo and petty polltlcB, and get right down to brass tacks and busl-ncHH. tho Pujo committee at Washington to testify In the money trust probe. Hut that does not excuse Mr Rockefeller or his physicians of dowrnvftght dis honesty In tho matter. Mr. Rockefeller lias been sought by officials of the government since Inst June, and he hafl succeeded la evad ing them. A physician's certificate, such as is now assured, would have secured Immunity for him at any time. Would not that have been better and more ercdltablo to Mr. Rockefeller than his course of deflnnco of lawful authority, his hiding from messengers of congress for seven months without tho shadow of an excuse? (U1AIX (OIOEKS ILLEtUI.. vii.u.ur not ki:ei:im:ics case. IF William Rockefeller, tho oil mng nato Is suffering from spasms of tho epiglottis and likely to die at any minute, it would bo cruel and un fair to compel him to appear before Tho supremo court of the 1'nltoil Stall's has struck a blow at gambling in commodities on grain exchanges, at least to the extent of holding "cor ners" In such dealings to be In viola tion of the Sherman act, and remand ing for trial on its merits a case In volving the mooted points Operators of grain exchanges for merly argued that tho courts had no authority to Interfere In "deals In fu tures," Insisting that buying and sell ing of merchandise, real estate and all classes of barter and Biilo wero based on tho prospect of future profit. This argument appears to bavo been aban doned In the case passed upon by the siireme court, In favor of tho conten tion that tho deals In question the Patten corner In cotton did not go so far as to "withhold" tho commodity from tho market, and, therefore, did not Interfere wllh the operations of in terstate commerce. Mr Justice Vanderveiiler, In deliv ering the opinion, held that tho effect on the price of cotton was tho same as though the nclual commodity had been withheld from the markets for the purpose nf raising the price, ami, therefore, constituted a, combination in restraint of trade, prohibited by tho Sherman act. It will require tlmo for ft trial of tho cast) on Kb merits. Tho final de cision will determine whether, under our anti-trust laws, tho operators on the grain exchanges can go on selling something they haven't got to persons who don't want It, all for tho purpose of enabling speculators to nmko nnd loso money by dealing In commodities on the way from tho producer to tho consumer. Poultry Show Begins Tuesday Special premiums to bo competed for by the enthusiastic fanciers of tho mortgage raiser, nt the Marlon county poultry show, commencing tomorrow In the armory, are on display in the show window of G. W, Johnson, on Commercial street. Among these pre miums are some extraordinarily hand some nnd valuable articles. A $20 loving cup, given by Undd & Bush for tho highest scoring bird in the show, looms up proud enough to tempt tho winners at Madison Square Garden. A pickle dish, given by S. N. Thomp son, jeweler, for the second highest scoring bird In the show, Is a beauti ful piece and will cause much anxiety until the awards are made. A handsome fern bowl, offered by Ilarrs' jewelry store, to the lady mak ing the best exhibit, has caused a largo entry by women Interested In poultry. J. U Stockton, the dry goods man, ever thoughtful of the comfort of the fair sex, bos offered a fine pair o( shoes to tho lady making the second I best, exhibit. ' The Capital drug store believes In doing a cash business, and has offered $! in cash for tlie best exhibit from Salem or vicinity. Mony other valuable premiums too numerous to mention, are shown in the window, which demonstrates the loy alty of Salem1 business men to public euterprizes, and particularly to the Ma rlon county poultry show. As a means of encouraging the chil dren In Industrial work some very at tractive premiums have been offered for them to compete for, and a free pass ticket will be issued every pupil In the city schools and nearby country i schools Superintendent Rhoten nnd the sec retary, Mrs. Ella Plunk, wllh a lnrge force of enthusiastic boosters, are busily engaged nt. the armory today receiving and cooping birds, many hav ing been exhibited, nnd won coveted prizes nt previous shows. A large display of the Oregon pheas ant family, furnished by the slate, through the courtesy of Superintend ent Kleiner, of the State Hosiltal, will be a very attractive feature of the show nnd to see them alone will be well worth tho price of ndinlsslon. The show will open tomorrow in all Its splendor, and, from present Indica tions, 800 birds will be on exhibition.

Fear of a contest of Ernest Lister's election as governor, to be decided by both houses of the legislatcre, in joint session, which Is controllel by a decided Re publican majority, has stampel the Democratic legislators into a coalition ' with the Republicans and will result in the election of Howard D Taylor as speaker and Senator Pliny Allen as president pro tern. At a caucus of Democratic house members hero Sundny afternoon 15 voted for Taylor on the first ballot, and only two opposed him. i It Is openly charged here this morn ing that Republican leaders agreed to i put a stop to the talk of a governor ship contest In return for the votes of ' tlie Democrats for Taylor and Allen. ' The progressives nre charging that I tho Democrats have further agreed to I stand by the Republicans on import ant legislation This will be determined soon after the legislature convenes nt noon today, when the progressives plan to force a vote of the whole house on the proposition of electing tho rules committee, Instead of allow ing tho speaker to appoint the mem bers. Following this motion the progres sives will nsk for a referendum of the house members on all house calendars, : to determine tho order In which bills lore to be considered In addition, they will also make a fight to have tho 'committee clerks keep records of tho .committee meetings, with special ref 'crenco to the names of those who np ! pear before the committee, so as to i show the various lobbyists Interested in the outcome of the various bills. And Olympla Is full of these lobby ists today, the number exceeding by far those of the 1011 session. .M'Aitriint elected speaker. (Continued from pago 1.) .Monmouth Notes. Monmouth, Ore., Jan. 11.
