S Olympla.When the legislature con- veued Monday only 11 days remained for work under the 60-day-constitution al limitation. Much important legis- lation remained to be disposed of and it is apparent that both houses must keep up a steady grind and put a damper on the flow of oratory if con- gestion is to be avoided during the closing hours of the session. The most important measure before the house during the past week was the anti-alien land bill which was passed by a vote of 72 to 18 and sent over to, the senate. Vigorous opposition developed to this measure and the debate was one of the warmest of the session. Before t.he house sitting as a committee of the whole the measure was opposed by Garrett Fisher, president of the Tacoma chamber of commerce; Rev. Mark A. Matthews, Judge Balllnger and Reginald Parsons of Seattle. Judge Ballingcr urged the .state to refrain from enacting legislation that might prove embarrassing to the fed- eral government in its treaty relations with foreign powers. The heavy majority in favor of the law was rather a surprise to both its friends and opponents, but the fact t h relq'lltaUyes of the Americau Legion strongly favored tts passage is believed to have Influenced the result. Senate Reconsiders School Code Vote. In the senate the principal measure to receive attention was the proposed school code. After an all-day fight full of tense situations opponents of the bill succeeded in defeating it by a vote of 21 to 19, or one less than the constitutional majority required for passage. The code, however, was given a new lease of life when Senator John- son succeeded in having the vote re- considered and it was again placed on general file. Thls will bring the bill before the senate for another battle. It is estimated that $3,000,000 will be added to the tax rolls of the state if two bills passed by the senate he- come laws. One provides for the levy- ing and collection of a tax of 1 cent a gallon on gasoline and distillate and the other levies a polltax of $5 au every person in the state between the ages of 21 and 50 years. The senate defeated an amendment offered by Groff of Spokane to exempt veterans who had served in the mili- tary forces of the nation in the several wars from theprovisions of the poll- tax bill. PolltX Will' Raise $2,000,000. It is estimated that the gasoline tax measure will produce between $750,000 in revenue for the rest of this year and approximately $1,000,000 annually thereafter. The pollta.x measure, it is estimated, will provide $2,000,000. That there will be no radical change in the present system of taxation by legislation enacted at the present see- ! utinue the relief work of the Veter- I .;' Welfare Commisslon, working under the supervision of the depart- ment of efficiency. FOrty senators voted for the bill and none against it, this being the large,st vote cast for a measure in the senate t]is srssion Would Change Motor Car Laws. One of the new ruh, s of tim road Inserted in the ae relating to the use of the public highways which was in- t r()doccd in the SOllaL( by tll( conlnlit- tee on roads slid bridges rvqtlircs pe- tlestrians on the public highways be- tween the period of one-half hour after sunset to one.half bOtll' before sunrise to travel on and along the left shle of the highway. Failure to do so will be a misdemeanor. It is also declared unlawful for any person under the age of sixteen years to operate or drive any motor vehicle upon the highways of the state. Per- sons under 18 years of age are pro- hibited from operating trucks of four tons or more capacity and it is de- clared unlawful for any person, under the age of 21 to drive a for hire motor vehicle for transportation of passen- gers. The bill fixes the speed limit at 30 miles an hour on public highways and at 20 miles within the corporate lim- its of any city or town. Every city and town will be re- quired to have black and white signs In letters four inches high announcing the speed limits, a sign for incoming drivers at corporate limits indicating the 20-mile limit and for outgoiug drivers announcing the 30-mile limit for country driving. New "Blue Sky" Bill Introduced. Tlie senate judiciary committee In- troduced its "blue sky" bill In the senate after considering three such bills referred to the committee. The committee bill provides for reg- ulation of brokers and the sale of se- curities in the state, and gives the secretary of state supervision over 'all securities and brokers. Exempted from the provisions of the ac are all national banklng asso- ciations, insurance companies, bauklng corporations, uilding and loan and savlngs and loan associations, all, for- elan and domestic concerns engaged in mining or other enterprises based upon the development of mineral re- sources and the development of gas and oil lands, public utilities subject to the Jurisdiction and control of the director of public works, and compa- nies organized without capital stock and not for pecuniary galn. Presldental Preference Bill Appears Voters will be enabled to express their preference for presidential can. didates by the primary method under a bill introduced in the house by Rep- resentative Beeler of King. The Beeler bill provides that the first presidential preference primary shall be held the first Monday in April, 1924, and quadrennially there- after. Under the terms of the bill delegates to national conventions will be considered as having been instruct, ed to cast their votes for the candi. dates certified by the secretary of state as having received the highest number of votes at the primary. 're- ent state primary laws would govern the holding of the presidential pri. marY. Regulation of School Dress Proposed, Teachers and pupils in schools of Washington are barred from wearing "high heels and "transparent" clothing, and the superintendent of public in- struction is empowered to fix the m axtmum amount which they may spend for clothing under the provis- ions of a bill introduced in the legis- lature by Representative Harry F.

Milk Substitute Bill Dqfeated. The house by a vote of 51 to 36 defeated house bill No. 29, which pro- hibits the manufacture and sale o substitutes for milk, butter and other dairy products.

The house also indefinitely post- poned the public morals committee bill which would increase he punish- ment for those who violate the hone dry law, The bill placed the minimum fine for bootlegging at $250 and a Jail sentence of not less than 90 days. Legion Will Handle Relief Work.
