Majority of the House Agree

Letters Still Coming

Governor Chamberlain is in receipt
Of several answers this morning from
members of the legislature, in response
to his recent letter regarding the ne.
cessity of a special session. Repre-
sentative Orton, of Multnomah coun,
ty says that he is heartily in accord
with the governors idea, and pledges
himself to oppose all legislation. ex.
cept that respecting the correction of
tax levies.
Senators Mays Kuykendall and c.
J. Smith, while making no pledges, all
express themselves favorably to the
governors plan, and express the hope
that the session will be very short,
and that general legislation will not be
attempted.
A majority of the house of represen.

vorable to the governors idea OF need.
ed legislation, and responses from sen.
