In a resolution in the house today,
Mahoney, of Morrow, proposes that
no bill carrying an appropriation
shall be introduced in the legislature
subsequent to February Z.
Chairman Malarkey, of the senate
judiciary committee, says that a
substitute bill, if passed, probably
will be reported for Pattons bill to
abolish capital punishment The sub
stitute bill will abolish capital pun
ishment, but will carry an added
clause providing for a restriction of
the pardoning power. Under the pro-
posed plan the question of pardons
will be placed largely with the Su-
preme Court although the Governor
will still sign the pardons.
Whenever new evidence is found, |
attorneys for the one desiring the
pardon will present it to the SUI

pass upon it and hand down an opin-
ion.
The Governor will be unable to sign |

.DOINGS OF OREGON STATE LEGISLATURE

Salem, Ore, Jan. 21.--An anti
trust law, which is intended to hit al
combinations in restraint of trade
was introduced in the senate yester
day by Joseph of Multnomah ant
may loom as one of the large meas
ures of the session. 1t has beer
carefully drawn, being on the lines
of the California law, which has been
an effective instrument in suppress
ing combinations of retailers in that
state.
Ice trusts, grocers combinations
plumbing combines and other similar
organizations have been sent to
cover by the California law. The
law covers all combinations having
for their object the sitting of com
petition.
Vendors of drugs and nostrums
will be hard hit if bill presented
by Barrett of Washington in the
senate is passed. Thursday he in
troduced bill which will make the
license easy for country peddlers.
The drug vender bill, which was in
troduced by request, goes to the
other extreme, imposing the pro.
hibitory fee of S100 per month.
Barrett also introduced a bill to
legalize the making of deposits Of
the state school fund in banks. This
is understood to be favored by the
state treasurer.
Cal1ins of Lane introduced a bill
making the saloonman responsible in
damages to the wife or other near
relative through sale of liquor to an
habitual drunkard.
A bill by Malarkey, establishing a
state board for examination of can
didates for the bar, was indefinitely
postponed.
Malarkey's bill removing the five
day limit allowed to a purchaser to
record a conveyance was passed by
II to s after a debate in which the
lawyers disagreed. Malarkey con
tended that this would enable pur-
chaser to know his title was good
when he bought as the conveyance
first recorded would be the one rec
ognized. Abraham, Joseph and Not
tingham opposed these views, while
Sinnott, Barrett of Washington and
Calins agreed with them.

STATESMEN, REAL AND NEAR.
By FRED c. KELLY.

Some months ago Senator Norris Brown.
of Nebraska, laid down a fat rule that
he would avoid Pullman smoking COM
partments and barber shops in strange
| cities. He says that if he were to listen,
day after day. to the things he hears in
strange barber shops it would make him
a saddened and morose man.
Not fong ago he was billed for a
speech In a Nebraska town that he sell
dom visits. and where he is known only
by reputation. AS his face felt like a
bath mat, he went at once to a barber
shop. before hunting up the committee
in charge Of the meeting.
The man in the next chair asked the
barber who operated on Brown:
Going to the meeting?"
"Nup," replied the barber.
We'll, you know, Senator Browns go
ing to speak," remarked the man in the
next chair. with some little enthusiasm.
Brown is a Republican and the bar

piled:

In the same connection one recalls the
sad case Of Miles Poindexter. insurgent
senator from the State of WASHINGTON
Last June Senator Poindexter went
TO the commencement exercises of Wash
lngton and Lee University. at Lexing-
ton. Va. where he attended college. While
there he strolled about the little town
and engaged a few of the old residents
in conversation.

old chap that he fell in with.

Canal to the South.

An interesting report was recently
submitted by the board of army engi-
neers to the Secretary OF War, beat
ing upon the use of the inland waters
between Norfolk, Va, and Beaufort. S.
c., for general transportation purposes
This report is in sense supplementary
to the last river and harbOr act. which
authorized the purchase by the Secre-
tary of War of the Chesapeake and AL
bemarle Canal 1t is now recommended
that the existing waterways be enlarged
to-a depth OF twelve feet at low tide and
width Of ninety feet. SO as to accom-
modate ordinary vessels engaged in the
coastwise trade. The estimated cost
OF the Improvements is put by the board
al 100000.
If the plan i adopted by Congress
and appropriations made for the vari-
GUS items, the result will be to open
about $50 miles of inland waterways
to public transportation and free from
the dangers which beset ocean trips
around Cape Hatteras.
In addition TO the mileage OF the
canals to be enlarged and constructed,
the proposed Improvements would open
to the channels of transportation about
1000 miles of inland waters in the
CarolinaS now land-locked and inacces-
sible to the markets and shipping facili-
ties at Norfolk and Beaufort.
The proposed Improvement means
much to that portion of the Atlantic
coast involved, and when its interests
are fully presented to the committees
OF Congress it is likely an appropria-
ton will be made 10 carry out the work
as recommended by the army engineers.
In the lap of the future probably lies
an enormous development OF agricu-
ture and manufacture and transporta-
ton around Chesapeake Bay and its
tributaries. and this opening of the in
land waters of North and South Caro-
lima may he considered part OF the
movement toward easier transportation
for marketable products.
