TREATY TO COVER BRIBERY.
Ambassador Porter Begins New Con.
Vention at Paris

PARIS. October 2G-Carrying out instruc-
lions received from Washington Ambassa-
dor Porter has begun negotiations for an
additional clause in the extradition treaty
between the United States and France to
cover bribery. The formalities will take
some weeks. but the informal conference
indicate the willingness of the French Off
Gals to make the desired extension. 1t Is
doubtful. however, whether they will be
willing to make the clause retroactive so as
to include bribery committed before the
clause goes into effect.
The ambassador Is seeking to expedite
the negotiations and the French author
tiles are manifesting desire to fully meet
the wishes of the United States.

RE-ENACT THE OLD LAW.

The average citizen breads a
a session of the Legislature about
as much as he does an epidemic Of
smallpox. If any person doubts
this statement, let him question
the first half-dozen men he meets
as to whether, in their opinion, a
special session to remedy the defect
in the new tax law is advisable. Il
the people Of Oregon could only
have assurance that the Legislature
would meet and pass the needed
legislation and then promptly ad-
iourn, there would be 10 serious
objection in any quarter to special
session being called. But the fear
that other laws might be tinkered
with and general legislation in
dulged in for the full period of
twenty days causes the great major
ity of citizens to view special
session with grave apprehension.
Governor Chamberlain, himself,
seems to share this feeling, and has
announced that he will not issue a
call for special session unless it
shall be demonstrated to his salts
faction that correction of this law
is absolutely necessary for the pro-
lection Of the public service and to
prevent the placing of state, county
and city officers at the mercy Of
warrant brokers.
The OBSERVER believes that the
best interests of the state would be
subserved by prompt re enact
ment Of the old tax law
However, it should be thoroughly
impressed upon the mind of every
member of the Legislature that the
people are in no mood for a lengthy
session, and that if a special session
is called the lawmakers will be ex-
pected to transact no business
further than to make the necessary
change in this law. Two or three
days, at the outside, is time enough
If this course is pursued, no great
expense need be incurred, and the
taxpayers will save the enormous
interest charges that they would b.
compelled to pay in case no session
were called.

will take his seat in the Senate if a
