BILLS CONDEMNED TO DIE

While the legislative session supposed to end Friday
night at midnight it is the intention to continue it until
Saturday night Even with this extra time at least one
half the bills will die in committee and never see

and there are more than five hundred bills perhaps nearly
six hundred remaining to be acted This would re-

would be about 100000 left after all appropriations had
been made That that the limit allowed under the six

stated though that there plenty Of demand for all the

were other things that would easily exhaust this margin

Some Little Stories and
Gossip of the Legislature


Senator LaFollette talks neither
long nor often but he generally makes
n bullscye at every shot and never
misses the target.
When the bill to increase the bounty
ON coyote sealps was up it was disclosed
THAT there was no bounty on the scalps
of female coyotes and consequently they
were not killed. Men who made busi-
ness of killing coyotes for the bounty
hunted with autos. They backed the ma
chine up TO coyote hole and turned the
exhaust through pipe or hose down
into. the hole. This was enough, for
even coyote could not hold out against
the Rockefeller combine and so came
out of its hole. The males we're caught
and killed but the females were turned
loose to raise another crop. 1t was at
this point that LaFollete remarked
that the stock raisers could make more
by dropping the cattle business and GO
ing into raising coyotes. He also said
something about equal suffrage, and he
could see no reason why female coyote
should not have the same right to be
killed at $3 per as her male compan-
ion.
There is much important legislation
still to be dealt with but the senate
pursues the even tenor OF its way, per-
haps realizing that the less it does the
better. Yesterday afternoon there were
two bills fixing salaries of some coun.
ty officers; one abolishing the office
Of recorder in jackson county; bill

providing for bounties for gophers and
moles i'll Polk county; one making two
paydays a month in factories, and stiIl
another fixing the standard size of cram
berry boxes. There were three appro-
priation bills but these were simply rati-
fieations of the committee Is work Out
side of these it was sure hot bunch of
legislation.
Among the bills sent from the house
to the senate yesterday was one to pre-
vent the use, sale or giving away of
snuff. 1t should be referred to the Multi
nomah county delegation as it seems to
be up to snuff most of the time. Orton
and Farrell might one take dose and
then wait for the other to sneeze.
When senate bill No 260 was recalled
from the house yesterday it caused con
siderable stir over in the executive end
of the capitol
1t is one of the governors S pet meas
ures and it is very likely it will have its
nails manicured before it again goes
back to the house. The whole matter
is n difference Of opinion as to allow
ing the parole officer additional compen-
sation in the shape of residence at the
prison. 1t was suggested by Senator
Garland that as some of the members
thought it was wrong to separate the
parole officer from his family thar it
was better to strike out that portion of
the bill providing for the parole officer
living at the prison and allow him to
rent house down town where he could
be with hi sfamily.

Socialists Won Over
The speech made by Imperial Chan

reiehstag early in December, where
he announced peace oyertures-won
over the socialists to the support of any
course the chancellor might advocate.
On the same way, the kaiser's sub
