THE LKfilSUTtKE MEETS.
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?

IF William Rockefeller, tho oil mng

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.

ful piece and will cause much anxiety
until the awards are made.
A handsome fern bowl, offered by

UNITED TRESS MUSED WIRE.
Olympin, Wash., Jan. 13. 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.
