The vote was 51 to 45 against paHKlug (he bill despite the disap proval of Governor Hoy K. Ayers, who bad said he did not believe Montana "should have t ho stigma of commercializing . . . tho domes tie troubles of her sister states." A two-thirds majority .was nec essary to override the veto.

LABOR HEADS URGED TO RESTORE PEACE (Continued from page 1.) Ions and In their communities." Fourth, because the government of tho United Slates nnd the peo ple of America "'bellevo it to he a wise and almost necessary step for the further doveiopmont of The cooperation between free men in a democratic society such as ours," "Dear John and Bill" In the final paragraph of each letter, the president expressed the hope he would very shortly receive a reply giving the nnim of thr HOPKINS HEARTENS INDUSTRY OF U. S. (Continued from page 1) peace committee members. To Lewis he said: "In address ing this letter to you, my dear John, 1 have great satisfaction In knowing 1 am dealing with a man whom! respect, a man of honor, intelligence and good will." To Green, he concluded: "It is with confidence that 1 write you. dear Hill, as a man of good will, of experience and high principles." The president said the oppor tunities for a united and vital labor movement to make a contribution to American life of help to the peo ple and future generations "were imver better." Tho president said whatever as sistance "we In the government can give you in this matter will be Kindly glvon." will be "the greatest secretary of commerce we ever had." Utilities Heartened In New York. Floyd II. Carlisle, chairman of Consolidated Kdison company of New York, and Wendell L, Willkie, president of Common wealth and Southern corporation, commented favorably on Hopkins .speech. Carlisle said the secretary's com ment on utilities "clearly indicates a desire on the part of the adminis tration to remove doubt us to the competitive fields of public owner ship and operation and the fields occupied by the private companies" lllkie expressed the view that If Hopkins "speaks with the author ity of those governmental agencies that have to do with the power in dustry . . . his offer of cooperation . . . will be reassuring. . . . The log jam in utility investment, which Ik broken would mean so much In promoting employment must be broken by action on the part of gov ernment." Tho widely known economist, T)r. Lionel P. Kdte, commenting In New York, asserted the secretary's statement of purpose to bring out private investment "will be most welcome in all business circles," udding that business men "will wait and see what these generali ties will mean when wo get down to specific eases." Program Outlined The secretary outlined a federal program of encouragement to in dustry which recommended: A tolerant attitude by labor In dealing with employers. Assistance for small business. Use of utilities as one means of breaking "tho log-jam of private investment." "No general rise In federal taxes" and amendment of those levies which tend to freeze the nec essary flow of capital. An increased natlonul income to take up tho unemployment slack and to balance the budget. Greater returns to tho farmer for his crops. "This country cannot be in good health, and the democratic princi ple cannot be safe until men go hack to work," ho said. "For this reason I am glad the utilities ques tion is reaching a solution. Pleading for industrial peace, the secretary put It up to "employers and employees alike to make col- lectlve bargaining work." "Prosperity means production, and production slops during either strikes or lockouts," he declared. The secretary found In the recip rocal trade treaties negotiated by Cordell Hull, bis cabinet colleague, an "admirable framework for the extension of our foreign com merce." He lauded the farm pro gram of Secreatry of Agriculture Henry Wallace but found the inhab itants of "many sections of rural America less well off than people living in cities and towns." SPRAGUE VETOES BLOOD TEST BILL (Continued from page 1.) rectlons. ltep. J. F. II.).ch suggested to day that the legislature recess for 10 years in order to keep the Oregon code of laws in order. The suggestion was given after discussion of a bill to recodify the Oregon laws, which eventual ly panned. "If we're going to keep on pass ing l.OdO bills every two years," Dr Hosch said, "we had better put them on a movi-j reel and run them through that way." By PAUL W. HARVEY, JR. SALKM, Feb. 25. (AP) Oregon legislators, hopeful of ending their session late next week, had the way paved today for disposal of their lour major problems public power, education, appropriations and taxa tion. The public power question, em bodied in the senate railroads and utilities committee bill to permit people's utility districts to Issue revenue bonds, is likely to be the only major controversial Issue to confront the lawmakers. Public power udvocates will op pose the new PUD bill because they object to districts being compelled to pay the same taxes as private utilities und to the provision that districts may be dissolved by ma jority vote of the people five years after the district is created. They also don't like the requirement that PUD rates be high enough to pay all taxes, bond retirement, depre ciation and operation costs out of revenues. The education bills, bearing a fa vorable committee report, will be considered by the house Monday and are fix pee ted to bo passed anVl sent to the senate with little oppo sition. They would equalize school taxes within counties. In other words, rich districts would help support poor districts. ! Liquor Prices Face Hoist . The Joint ways and means com mittee, having heard this week that legislative leaders want no new taxes, will start its appropria tion bills through the mill the first of next week. The committee is ex pected to boost the state's relief Bhare from $8,000,000 to $9,000,000 and to cut that of the hard-pressed counties from $6,000,000 to $5,000. 000. The federal government would pay $8,000,000. and the. state pre sumably would get its extra money by Increasing liquor prices. Taxation hills, providing for sub stituting a three per cent surtax on intangibles for the eight per cent intangibles tax, and a slight in crease in the corporation excise tax, ore ready for senate considera tion, the house having approved them overwhelmingly this week. Presiding officers of both houses estimated early this week that the session would end next Thursday hut observers now feel that the lawmakers will go home uhout next Saturday, 55th day of the ses sion. Milk Bill Lingers One tough problem remaining is the senate bill to let the people de cide whether to abolish the milk control board. The senate will con sider It Monday, and the vote will be extremely close. A total of 950 bills have been In troduced In the legislature. The 1939 legislature, despite the lack of many major issues, is more prolific than that of two years ago. Already 503 bills have been intro duced in the house, compared with 501 for the entire 1937 session, while there have been 447 new bills in the senate compared with 421 during the1 19.'17 session. And at least 100 more hills will be intro duced, most of them being appro priation bills. Bakery Board Doomed Tho house virtually sealed the doom of the Oregon bakery board yesterday with a 4(i-23 vote to np- prove a senate bill eliminating the board. The board's fate passed into the hands of Gov. Charles A. Sprague. who called It a "stepchild of Nil A" and recommended its abolition. Rep. Phil Hrndy, president of the Portland central labor coun cil, was the only member who de fended the bakery board In the house. He said it helped to sta bilize and improve Industry" and denied that it fixed prices. Rep. Karl T. Newhry declared the board "forced buyers of bread to pay a higher price m Oregon than In any other state." nrndv also denied that the team- sters union had cooperated with bakers in fixing prices. He said the policy board, of which be. was first president, had brought about a condition in which the baking In dustry used more Oregon-produced commodities than any other Industry aud established the stead iest payroll of any industry. Actldn on Other Bills A bill stipulating that state po lice, . including the superintendent and his deputy, may not be dis missed except for cause was Bign ed by the governor. The senate passed a bill to per mit the state land booYd and coun ties to exchange state and coun ty grazing lands with other coun ties nnd the federal government. Tho joint ways and means com mittee cut an appropriation for the state board of health from $91,895 to $84,500. No person under the age of 12 would be commltteed to the state training school for boys or tho state industrial school for girls under a bill approved by the sen ate. The senate approved a memor ial that Oregon and Washington be relieved from the provisions of the existing trade agreements with the Dominion of Canada re lating to lumber and lumber products.
