FORECASTING
LEGISLATION
IMPORTANT MATTERS TO COME
UP FOR CONSIDERATION
Republicans Pledged to Create Tax
Commission and Enact an Anti
Pass Law-To Provide tor State
Census and District state.

In an article forecasting the work
which the state legislature will be
called upon to perform this winter,
the Post-IntelFgencer says:
''The senatorial situation seems to
have completely overshadowed other
topics regarding the session Never
theless it Is probable that a number
of bills for laws Of great Importance
to the state will be under considera-
ton during the sixty days of the ses-
sion.
"The Republican state platform
declared for the creation of tax
commission, with power to deter
mine for the purposes of assessment
and taxation the value of all corpor-
ate property, both real and person
al, to the end that the burden of gov
ernment may be borne without preju-
dice, favor or inequality.
''The platform also declared for the
enactment of an anti-pass law, for
the enactment of laws to prevent
acquisition and indefinite holding Of
large tracts of state timber lands to
the detriment of small mill owners
and consumers, and the enactment
of legislation along the lines urged
by the State Federation Of Labor
''Gov. elect Mead has said that he
will recommend the enactment OF all
these laws, and also. has declared
that he will make some specific rec
concentrations concerning the crea-
ton of a railroad commission. The
labor legislation urged by the State
Federation of Labor includes the fell
low servant law and all anti-company
store law, both of which measures
are prolific causes of debate and
squabble in every legislature in which
they come up.
"About the state there has been
considerable agitation for reforma-
tion of the road laws. The conten-
ton is that the present laws are too
favorable to the use of road funds for
political purposes.
"Another matter certain to be OF
great Importance in the session is
legislation regarding the fish and
game laws. An agitation has been
started for enactments to separate
the fish and game departments, Gre
ating the office of state game war
den. This will be resisted by those
who maintain that the departments
should remain as they are now.
ssThe constitution provides that
the looming legislature shall provide
for taking state census next year
IN which to base legislative reap
nortionment. The legislature OF 1890
disreparded the constitutional man
date, but the matter may come up
this session.
sTt is expected that the vexed
question of congressional districts
will be taken up also. The last leg
stature failed to reach any agree
ment ON this subject, although with
three congressman the state should
he districted in order to comply Win
constitutional requirements:
