will be on the ballot for consideration

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 people also will have a chance

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

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

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

was a serious matter and that the de
