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

It is also declared unlawful for any
person under the age of sixteen years

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

Ail "
FRIDAY, MARCH 4; 1921
ISORDERS of the stomach and constipation are
the most common diseases of children. To
correct them you will find nothing better than
Chamberlain's Tablets. One tablet at bed time will
do the work and will make your child bright and
cheerful the following morning. Do not punish
your children by giving them castor oil. Chamber-
lain's Tablets are better and more pleasant to take.
