When the legislature eonvenes a week from next Monday it probably will get down to business in record foreak- ing time. This will be possible because the presiding officers for both houses are already selected and committee lists are being prepared ready for an nouncement as soon as the two branch es are organized. senator W. T. Vinton of Yamhill county will be president of the senate ' and Representative Seymour Jones will i be speaker of the house. ' oome of the members forecast that this will be one of the most important sessions of the lesislntnrn holfl in 7.-!r years.

The law makers will have the report of the consolidation commission, appoint ed by Governor Withyconibe. This com mission seeks to remake the entire form of state government by giving tne governor authority to appoint all officials. The commission would make the governor an autocrat in a class with the ex-kaiser before he was tip ped off his German throne .Prevailing opinion is that this pro- gram will not get so very far, ahho undoubtedly there will be an attempt to make number of changes in the present organization of state affairs.

It has promoted a freedom of expression that is expect ed to go far toward clarifying the rela tions of Jtaly and the new Slavic states, which have been somewhat tense of late. Must Now Be Independent The president's statement in his peeeh before the Chamber of Deputies yesterday evening that the Balkan peo lles "must now bo independent" were believed to be a broad hint that all Italo-Slav differences must be ad- justed and that Italy must join the other associated powers in promoting establishment of a strong Slavic na tion. "The great difficulty among such states as the Balkans has been that they were always accessible to sect in fluence; that they wore always being penetrated by intrigue of some sort or another; that north of them lay dis turbed populations whii-h were held to gether not by sympathy and friend ship, but by tho coercive force of a military power," the president said. Intrigue is Checked Kok "Now tho intrigue is chocked and tne Donas arc nroiccn and wnat we are ent. "I am sure that you recognize the principle as I do that it is not our privilego to eay what sort of a gov ernment they should set up. But we are friends of those pooplo and it is our duty to see to it that some kind of protection is thrown around ' them something supplied which will hold thom together." It is understood there has been soma thing approaching a cabinet crisis in Italy in regard to this very matter the conflict of Italian and Slavic aspi rations. Some Italian newspapers have look-,pi.edi(.ted ttiat Wilson's' visit and his resultant attitudo toward the trans Adriatic political tangle would pre cipitate the crisis. The president took occasion to reit erate his stand against the "balance of power." Balance of Power Past "We know there cannot be anoth er balance of power," he said. "That has been tried and found wanting, for tho beat of all nations docs not stay balanced inside itself, and a weight which docs not hold together cannot constitute a real weight in the affairs of men. "Therefore, there must be something substituted for the balance of power and d am happy to find everywhere in the air of these great nations tho con ception that that thing must be a thor oughly united league of nations." The president visited historical spots today and laid wreaths on the tombs of Emmanuel 11 and King Humbert, ire was shown about the Pantheon, the Roman forum and went to the Academy of Lincei. After his audienco with Pope Benedict tho president received a delegation of protestant bodies, Dur ing the afternoon he conferred ivith Premier Orlando cabinet members and other Italian leaders. The formal pro gram of his visit in Eomo closes to night with a dinner at the Quirinal. ureat inrong in uapuai A great throng packed the capitol last night when tho citizenship . of Home was conferred upon the president. After the speeches by the king and the president, Queen Elena, attired in a gorgeous gown and wearing a jewel ed crown, walked thru the reception roam, clinging to tho president's arm.

Responding to the tender of member ship in tho Lincei academy, President Wilson today said he hoped scientists will devote thoir studies to the creation of a now basis of friendship for hu manity, in order to blot out the stain which resulted from science developing engines fot destroying humanity.

Great significance was attached hero today to that portion of President Wilson's speech boforo tho Italian chamber of deputies in ; which he plainly indicated that any obstacles in tho way of amicablo set tlement of all inturuational questions must bo ovorcomo. ' I His reiteration that the old "bal ance of power" can no longer exist, in j connection with his reforence to the removal of all obstacles, was rogarded as serving notice on tho world that the (apparent divergenco of his vievs nnd Premier Clamencoaii 's is n matter that will be readily adjustod. j After referring to the universal de si ro to see justice done and a peace based upon right, he said that "with this common purpose no obstacle neod be formidable.", . . ( "The only use of an obstacle, h to Be overcome," ho continued. "All that an obstaclo does with bravo men is not to frighten them but to challenge them. ISo it ought to be our pride to over come everything that stands in our way."

Reports that batteries B and D, 130th artillery, Rainbow Division had been Wiped out woro officially denied 'on tho strength of a report from the div ision commander, General Mcnohor. Answering a question, March held that casualties as a wholo had not gone beyond expectations, particularly when the bitter fighting in tho Argonne dur ing the last days of the war were con sidered. (The United Press estimates wero 250,000 whilo the final figures were not greatly in excess thereof). March called attention to tho fact that the war risk insurance burenu was under supervision of the treasury departmentt not tho war department, and letters concerning insurance should go to tho treasury department.
