under the provisions of the local
option law, will also be up for con-
sideration in various parts of the
state Thus it is safe to predict that
several phases Of the liquor question
will be presented to the votetrs Of
the coming election.
Three Normal school Bills.
The normal school question, which
has been a determining factor In
most important legislation the past
10 years in the Oregon legislature,
will be the center of attraction again
this year, but the voters themselves
and not their representative law
makers, will be called upon to settle
the question. The claims Of the
Monmouth, Ashland, and Weston
schools will be presented to the
voters in separate bills.
From U'Ren's claw Factory"
The Peoples Progressive Govern
ment League Of which w. s. U'Ren
is the moving spirit, will present no
less than two bills and four constitu-
tional amendments under the initia-
tive. The first Of these two bills
amends the direct primary law to the
end that delegates to national con-
ventions and presidential electors
shall be chosen under the provisions
of this law. It is also provided that
the expenses of these delegates shall
be paid out of the treasury of the
state. The date of holding the
primary election is changed from
September to April for presidential
election years, but for other years
remains as at present. The second
bill proposed by U'Ren and his as
sociates provides for board of Peo-
pies inspectors of government.
The four constitutional amend
ments which in all probability will
be proposed by the Peoples Progress
sive Government League, would
change the whole scheme of the pres
ent state government by abolishing
all of the various boards and COM
missions, substituting therefor the
cabinet system. These amendments
propose to give the governor and his
cabinet seats in both branches of the
whose regular members
are to be chosen for terms of six
years and whose sessions are to occur
County business is to be
by a county business man
ager and sheriffs and district at
torneys are to be appointed by the
governor.
Would Adopt British Methods.
Proportional representation has
place in the proposed scheme and
The entire legislature may be dis
solved according to the method of
the British parliament.
One of the proposed amendments
that three-fourths of a
ury must submit a verdict in a civil
lction and that only such opinions
# the supreme court shall be printed
IS decide new points of law.
Thirty Measures in All.
In the general election two years
go there were 10 measures sub
nitted under the initiative and refer
ndum. This year there will be at
east 26 and probably 80 or more.

Judge Viewers Sons.

Des Moines, Nov. 22.-Special: The
Iowa supreme court, in a divided
opinion, held that w. l.. Weaver,
son of Justice s. NJ. Weaver, must
stand trial on the indictment charg-
ing him with uttering a forged in
strument, to-wit, a false mortgage.
In the deliberations over his sons
case, Judge Weaver took no part.
When young Weaver was originally
placed on trial his attorneys moved
for a directed verdict on the ground
of faulty indictment. The court
sustained the motion. The state APP
pealed and the supreme court di.
vided equally on the case, thus re-
handing it for a new trial. Word
was also received here from Mason
City that George E. Weaver, son of
Supreme Judge Weaver, has ceased
to be member of the Memorial Uni
versity faculty, with the rumor of a
sensation back of his withdrawal.
