HOUSES OF THE LEGISLATURE
Most of the Important Work Cut Out
for This Session is Yet to BE
Formally Acted Upon.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 17.-At the end
of the forth week of the Washington
legislature the senate has passed 40
senate bills and 81 house bills, to-
20 house bills and IA senate bills,
a total OF S4 The number of bills
that have passed both houses, there
fort, is Al, of which q originated
in the house and Ii originated in the
senate. Of these ten have been sign
ed by the governor. A number of
those passed by both houses have
been amended in the second body in
which they were considered and re-
turned to the first body for concur
renee or other action before they can
be transferred to the governor for
approval. Most of the work of actual
ly passing bills has been done in
both houses during the last week,
though many of the bills passed dur
ing the week were considered in
committee prior to that time and
prepared for passage. Under the
rules Wednesday. February 20, is
the last day new bills can be intro
Direct Primary Bill This Week.
Most of the important work cut
out for the Legislature is yet to be
formally acted upon. The direct
primary bill, house bill No. SO, has
been entirely remodeled in the house
committee On privileges and cleo
tions and reported in the form of a
substitute bill which is now on the
house calendar and will come up for
consideration during the coming
week. A move will probably be
made early in the week to make it
a special order and set aside day
the consideration of this measure
which has aroused much comment
here is the fact that the Post-Intel-
ligencer of Seattle, published by for
mer United States Senator John L..
Wilson, the editor and publisher of
which were consulted in the prepara-
ton of the original league bill,
and which paper has been one of the
most persistent newspaper advocates
of the bill in the state, has come out
in violent opposition to the measure
since it was amended so as to cut
out the second choice feature and
continue the selection of candidates
to plurality vote.
The local option bill like the di-
rect primary bill, has been amended
in the form of a substitute bill and
placed on the house calendar and
will come up for consideration about
Tuesday. On account OF pronounced
and well-organized opposition to this
measure, it is improbable that any
