This bill I vehicle taxes. was introduced in the house by Repre- Thcse revenues on the basis of the (Mutative Bitner and passed both present tux valuation and the existing (houses, after once having been killed in number of automobiles in Oregon, will the senate. An expenditure of this sort amortize not only, the $8,000,000, but the authorized by the people themselves1 full limit of bonds authorized under j would not be subject to the six per the Beau -Barrett act.

Seven important 'measures, in addition to the $6,000,000 road bond proposal, will be on the ballot for consideration of the voters at the special election on June 4. In authorizing the special bond elec tion the legislature decided also to re fer to this election all constitutional amendments and other questions which otherwise would have gone on the bal- introduced by all corn senate is to be limited house to OH. ite The oth proposed to bers of the to 6, but for more than. 50 this resolution increase the pay of niem legislature from ,' a day no member can draw pav ays. The speaker of the house and the president o'f the senate are to receive $10 a day. The mileage for members is fixed at 15 cents' a mil,' in each direction. It is 10 cents under the present law. Grant-Land Measure on List. Representative Bean's bill authi ing the assessors of western Ore counties to restore the Oregon and ( forma graitt lauds to the tax will be on the ballot. The measure merely asserts the right of the state ol' Oregon forever to assess tin propeity, despite the fact that it is involve, I in litigation between the railroad and the federal goverumeut. Before the close of the session early this morning Representative Allen Ea ton, who opposed the measure on the floor of the house on Saturday, en tered a written protest in the journal against the enactment oT the Bean bill. He made the point that (he amendment submitting it to a vote ol' the people had not been concurred in by a major ity vote of the house. Both houses at this session -and at all previous sessions have concurred in amendments by viva voce vote, and if the Eaton objections are sustained a lot of other tegislatioff will be involved. Election Change for Economy. . The amendment requiring cities and (owns to hold their primary and yen eral elections on the some days that the state-wide ) primary and general elections are held merely is a proposal to save money for the municipalities" Under the present laws the municipal elections are held at various odd times during the year, obviously Imposing additional expense, The proposed amendment is for the purpose of dis posing of nil elections on the snnie day. It provides that the same set of judges and clerks shall handle the work.

The seiiuti killed the one requiring a it all votes cast at an election to any constitutional amendment, present law requires a majority votes cast on the measure. Senator Huston is author of the pro posed amendment to empower the fort of Portland to engage in the water transportation business. l.'nder the provisions of this measure the port would be able to issue bonds to the extent of one per cent of the assessed valuation of tne district for the unr- pose of carrying aa its work, but n such indebtedness could be incurred without first being authorized by ai majority vote of tke.41e.uplo. I Steamship facilities Proposed. 1 The object of this amendment is 10 enable the Port of I'ortland either to go into the steamship business itseli j or to subsidize vessels tor steami&ip service between Portland and Otter ports. The legislature also enacted the j necessary laws to make the constitu tional lunendtneiil effective. Submitted in 1918. Two measures submitted to the peo ple by this session were exempted from the special election ballot and will go on the ballot at the regular ckvlion in November, mis. One is a constitutional amendment, proposed by Representative Sheldon, ot Jackson county, for the establishment of two additional normal schools one at Aashland and the other somewhere in eastern Oregon at a place to be se lected by the normal school regents. The bill authorizes an annual tux levy of one-twenty-fifth of a mill lor each school, but none of the money is 10 be pent for a site. If the eastern Ore gon BCbool is nut established at Wes ton, where the state owns property it must be placed on a site presented to the state 'free of charge. Another measure that will go over to the election authorizes an expert- diture of $2(1(1.000 for the creation of a heme, near Portland, for dependent, de linquent and defective children now committed by the state to various pii vate and sectarian institutions. thus ending the biennial squabble in the legislature over appropriating mouev tarian schools.

Craadall fought against the move to recall the bill, charging that Kay had 1 been lobbying against the bill for the jpast week or more. He said that it was a serious matter and that the de feat of the bill was an attack upon the .school fund n;id the school children of. the state.
