AS other aid to returning soldiers
and sailors the legislature passed a
100000 emergency fund, for their
immediate relief, the money from this
fund to be loaned to the needy ones.
Out of this was also taken $4,000 to be
used in New York for helping the men
landing there from overseas on their
way back to Oregon. The legislature
also will submit to the people for their
approval proposal to provide state
aid to the soldiers who desire to re-

Some important changes were made
in educational legislation. A mini
mum wage of S75 month was'provid-

The state provides for vocational
education in connection with the
schools. Educators consider this one
of the most important victories Of the
session, despite the fact that the
measure invoked but little discussion

part-time schools, and in this was en-
acted a provision raising the school

One exceedingly important piece of

Bill defining criminal syndicalism

Labor won one Of its biggest VIC

Land Probe Authorized.
Provisions were made for wide In

conditions surrounding lands alleged
to have been fraudulently secured
from the state, and the further pro
vision that suits may be prosecuted
to cover such lands, in event evidence
is found sufficient to lead the attor-
ney-general to believe he can be sue

ture provided for general reclassifi-
cation of lands under the supervision

Rural Interests Receive Recognition.
Agricultural and livestock interests

Many amendments to the irrigation
