of the state highway commission, tak
ing this authority away from the
county commissioners. It is urged
that such a statute would lead to con
formity and economy.
Provisions for the returning soldier
will he given great consideration,
plans already suggested providing
for an elaborate program of road con
struction on which soldiers would be
employed. The incoming governor,
Hon. R. D. Carey, is a highway en
thusiast. and is expected to encourage
j a most liberal policy of road construc
tion and maintenance.
The. legislature is expected to re
vive the state immigration bureau and
generously equip it with funds for the
inauguration of a vigorous campaign
for new settlers.

Efforts to submit a woman suffrage
amendment to the state constitution,
to obtain immediate adoption of the
national prohibition amendment, and
to revise the election law, especially
along the lines of a modified form of
the dirdct primary, probably will be
made at the coming session of the
state legislature, which will begin
January 7, 101T and will continue
sixty days.
Other legislation with fair chance
i of passage by the next legislature fob
lows:
Stringent provisions for the en
forcement of the state-wide prohibi
tion amendment, which became effec
tive October 1. 101*.
The establishment of a state de
partment of health.
The establishment of a state de
partment of agriculture and statistic
which may include state immigration

I construction measures, highway ,
j building bills and possibly insurance
| and tax acts, it is believed here, will
j be the principal measures to be con
sidered at the sixteenth session of
! the Washington legislature, which
convenes January 13. IMP, and ad
journs March 13.
Measures aimed to, place returned
soldiers and other men on Washing
ton's idle land probably will be sev
eral in number. One, fostered by
Mayor Ole Hanson of Seattle, would
authorize a state bond issue of $100,
000,000 for reclaiming swamp, arid
and logged-off land for helping men to
get a start on the new soil.
Good roads will be the subject for
much of the legislature's considers
I tion. it is thought certain. Among
the road measures which probably I
will reach the legislators will be one
which Senator I’. II f'arlyon of Olym-j
pia proposes to introduce. Under its j
terms the slate would bond itself fori
the- construction of 2,000 miles of j
highway. Automobile license returns j
would defray part of the cost.
Washington women, through the
State Women’s Legislative Council,
have mapped out a program including |
several hills which it hopes to get i
through the legislature. Among them \
are hills to provide for vocat onal 1
training, compulsory physical train- |
ing in schools, non partisan elections, j
creation of an office of public de-!
fender, establishment of an Indus- j
trial home for women and the con
struction of a home in Western Wash-j
ington for feeble-minded.
Prod A. Adams of Spokane, it Is i
generally thought, will be elected i
speaker of I he house. Republicans
will have an overwhelming majority,
as they will number thirty-nine In the
senate and eighty seven in the house,
against three Democrats in the senate
and ten in the house.
BOISK. Idaho, Dec. 19.—Growing J
dissatisfaction over the Idaho primary
law makes reasonably certain some j
action by the next legislature either j
to modify the present law so that the j
integrity of party lines will be guar- j
anleed or to guarantee this result by !
a return to the convention system j
Democratic leaders, who lost their or
ganization to the Nonpartisan league ;
when the league members disre
garded party lines and went Into tin* 1
Dentoeratic primaries and nominated
their candidates on the Democratic
ticket, are especially Insistent that the
law lie modified or repealed.
Administration legislation will lean
strongly to farm interests, according
to n. W. Davis, Republican governor

markets bureau and enlargement of
its functions, and a system of bonded
warehouses are some of the items
said lo be especially favored J'v the,
new administration. ■ ' • * f
