STATE LEGISLATURE
cONVENES AT OLYMPIA
Organization, Governors Mes
sage and Introduction Of
Bills Mark First Week.

Olympia.-organization Of the two
houses, the delivery of the governors
message, the preliminary conferences
of the more important committees and
the introduction of number of new
bills marked the first week OF the
session of the eighteenth legislature.
In getting under way the legislature
spread cut its activities over the week:
organizing the first day, selecting the
committees the next, then listening to
the governors message, taking night
off on Thursday to attend the legis-
lative ball that introduced the winters
social season and preparing to call 1t
a weeks work on Friday.
The governors message, always the
big feature of opening week of a legis-
lative session, surprised members both
because of its brevity and its concilia-
tory tone. AS though taking cogni
zance of criticism of the adminlstra-
tive code. the governor took the legis-
lature into partnership on the respon-
sibility for the act of 1921 and sug-
sested that the members study the
working of the code and make such
changes as time had indicated were
necessary.
Code Changes Urged.
Governor Hart himself urged two
important code changes, one of which.
at least, could pave the way for a
consolidation of departments. He de-
clared that the supervisor of highways
should be taken from the department
of public works and made an appointee
of the governor SO he could serve more
freely with the highway committee
that consists of the governor, auditor
and treasurer Then he suggested
that the legislature repeal the pro-
visions in the code that created state,
county, city and other taxing board
examination bureaus in the depart
ments OF. efficiency and taxation and
examination. What the governor aim
ed at was the abolition of all the state
functions performed prior to 1921 by
the bureau OF inspection and super
VISION OF pubic Offices. Ohuer tne
code this work was divided between
two departments. The biennial re-
port of Auditor C. w. Clausen sug-
gested that the old bureau be re-
established in his office.
In dealing with the code the gov
ernor declared the new law had in
creased efficiency and economy and
| in q months time had substituted d
balance for deficit in the general
fund.

piano departments must be be-
tween l6 and 80 years, Contest
ants must have the endorsement of
three recognized musicians as to
their superior musical attain
ments: acceptable personal APP
pearance and stage department,

and application blanks.
The winners of the state CON
test will be eligible to compete in
the national contest, sponsored by
the National Federation of Music
clubs, to be held at Ashville, N. c.,
in June, 1923. The winners of the
national contest will receive cash
prize of $4,000. They will also
be given a New York recital in
Aeolian hall, and will receive as
sistance from the Natioal Fedora
ton in embarking upon a profess
sional career, The experience of
appearing before the biennial con-
vention and the recognition at
tendant upon their success in the
contest will be of great value to
them in their future work.
