ed at the sixteenth -ession of the
Washington Legislature which con
vene.-. January PI. PM’J and adjourns
Manh 13.
Measures aimed to place returned
soldiers and other men on Washing
ton's idle land probably will be sev

or Han-on of Seattle would authorise*
a state bond issue tor sHTO.OOUJMM) f**i
reclaiming swamp, arid and logged otf
land and for helping men to get
start on the new soil.
Oood roads will be the subject fori
much of the legislatures on consider- ,
ation. it is thought certain. Among '! ♦* ,
road measure* which probably will
reach the legislature will be one which \
Senator P. H. Carolyn. Olympia. Pro- ]
po-e> to introduce. Under its term
the state would bond itself for tie.*
construction of 2(XX) miles of high
way. Automobile licence return*
would defray pail of the cost.
Governor Krnest Lister, it is though ,
will touch on these two subjects, high
way construction and reconstruction,
in his message to the legislature. It is
also thought the governor may recom
mend the organization of some fom
of state police.’ It is known he hits
been studying the Pennsylvania state .
police system.
Attempts will be made by the !e ,
gislators to cut the time of the ses

may he made in the cost of printing
and in the salaries paid attaches. Thr

risen steadily, officials point out. In
1911 the Legislature’s expense hill to- i
called *74.000 and $10,000 for prin’-{
ng. In 1017 $110,000 was needed to J
pay the body’s expenses and $L*>.0U< :
went for printing. To keep the prim *
ng cost down, a committee may a -
tempt to head off superfluous bill *. .
Washington women, through the
date Women’s Legislative Council ha**
mapped out a program including so*,
oral bills, which it hopes to get
through the legislature. Among them
are bills prividinc for vocational train '
