Sickness Insurance Fund.

During the week Assemblyman
Holmes introduced his bill providing
for a sickness insurance fund and the
payment by the state of money for the
care of persons suffering from occupa-
tional diseases. The measure is con
sidered one of the most important
bills touching upon labor which has
been introduced at this session.
In spite of many counter attrac-
lions, the most important Of which
has been the NlcGovern-Ekern fight.
in fact, indications are that the num-
Der of bills to be introduced will
break all previous records. lndica-
tions are that more than 1000 bills
will be considered by the present leg
islature.
There are now 1,066 bills in the as
sembly and 39S in the senate, total
of 1,464. Many more are anticipated
from committees, and by unanimous
consent. The last session totaled
1.461 bills.

The Fee System.

During the recent debate before
committee of the house Assemblyman
O'Connor of Waushara county was
furnished with new idea concern
ing the collection of fees by public
officials, and his ideas on the subject
have already been put in regular bill
form.
Mr.. O'Connor has proposed a bill
to wipe out the present system of fees
wherever it appears in the state gov
eminent. He would put all public Of
fcials on a salary basis. He would
have all fees turned over to the coun-
ty, city or village.
At a recent committee hearing it
was brought out that the fees re-
tanned by county clerks from hunt
ing licenses amounts to $4,000 to
81 900 in the larger counties of the
state. He believes that the general
plan of allowing officials to retain
fees is all wrong. He will make a
fight to have his bill passed. There
will be considerable opposition to
the measure, as many officials will
summon their friends to oppose it.
To Enlarge Capitol Park.

To Enlarge Capitol Park.
Assemblyman Bowe has introduced
a bill to enlarge the capitol park to
such an extent that if the plan is car
ried out the $1O,000,000 Wisconsin
statehouse of white granite and state
ly pillars will have one of the most
elaborate settings given to any public
building in the world. The plan in
Guides the wiping out of fully one
third of the business district of this
city, the property, including some
highly valuable sites, to be used for
a park. The park would lead direct
ly to Lake Monona. Property that
would have to be bought by the state
and upon which options have already
been secured amounts to about $780,
600. The plan is SO large that many
members believe that it will take a
few years of education before the
legislature, without being misunder-
stood or charged with extravaganza,
will pass the bill.
Madison people, although it means
a rebuilding of the business section
of the city, are strongly in favor OF
the plan.

past few days heavy raRs have fall
en- all over Wasco county and have so
thoroughly wet the ground that plow-
ing of summer fallow has been re-
sumed. Prior to these rains the
ground had become too dry in many
places to plow and considerable of
the summer fallow had not been
worked. Now all the land that was
to crop last year can be summer fall
lowed and put into condition for fall
seeding. The rains were quite bene-
ficial to growing crops. While the
fall grain was not suffering for want
of moisture it was getting tolerably
dry and will be considerably benefited
by the rains Taking the county over,
the fall grain looks very well, though
it is somewhat backward and is not
so promising as at this time a year
ago; however. the prospect for a
heavy crop, if there are occasional
showers in June. is good.
Fruit prospects are better than they
were a year ago; especially is this true
of cherries. The trees almost every
where are we'll laden and the danger
of frost is now past. What fruit there
is on the trees will stick and mature.
Peach and apricot trees are also we'll
laden, and should yield good crops
Gardens are extremely backward,
fuller three weeks later than is usual.

Woman and Her Varied Interests
Women and American Fashions

The question OF womens dress is
being taken up with some vigor in
several cities in an attempt to estab-
lish American fashions. 1t is evident
that American women Of any preten-
sion to expressing distinction in dress
have hitherto been dependent on the
fashions that have come from abroad.
Now the effort Is to have fashions
of distinction that nevertheless ex-
press the individuality of American
women, even as the fashions of all
times in older countries have had a
distinctive mark. Examining great
paintings and other pictures today
one may trace clearly the modes and
taste of this or that country in a CIV
en- period. This hints at true indi-
Vidualism.
The gowns then that are being
chosen as expressing a really Ameri-
can fashion are apparently simpler
than fashions hitherto have been, for
they thus express more Of the demo-
cratic idea. They needs must be
planned on lines that make them
available for women of many sorts
and conditions, If they are to be real
ly American, typing what is character
istic and individual in American
thought. In old paintings 1t is seen
that the dress of the peasantry is de-
cidedly market out from the dress of
the nobility. In the United States
there has never been this distinction.
Immigrant women were long the only
women seen on American streets with
out hats. To go without a hat was
mark of the peasant in warm lands.
Little by little the comfortable fash
ion was adopted in America until
now one may often see even in cities
women of all social circles going
about hatless in places where they
would once have been careful to don
the headgear. The fact that this
pretty fashion has not been confined
to any special set of women in Am
erica is significant of American de-
mocracy, and is a further hint OF
why the so-called American fashions
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-05-15

that are springing up here and there
are all so simple and normal, without
exaggerated effects.
out of this simplicity will develop,
no doubt, individuality shown in re-
ally individual fancies expressed by
each wearer. Thus starting from a
general fashion the outcome of this
cultivation of purely American fash
ions should give play for the clever
notions for which American women
are famous in the matter of pictur-
esque dress. When women no longer
admit so freely the dictation of fash
ionmakers afar, every woman will
feel freer to be herself and will adapt
the prevailing mode to her own indi-
viduality in way that has not SEEM
ed possible when women were accept
ing unquestioningly the word of Paris
or London in regard to what they
should wear and how they should
wear it-Christian Science Monitor.
