TWO ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEDUG, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1939. PETREL JT SALEW at OUR BOARDING HOUSE with' Conflicting Proposals Legislature Blamed for Prolonging Session. SAI,KM. March Jt. (AIMU'Iit the Oregon h!Kilitlur; Ijt'Kati its session day hko today, several unIhf ail or tlicm designed to rjuu the clamor of public power advo cates who claimed districts could n't fiiiaitL-c themselven mill's per mltted to ittsut! revenue bonds, were ijeinK carried around in the pockets oi uouid-oe sponsors. One of the bills, senate bill 2B1 would have permitted the Issuance oi revenue bonds, while 1 1 h com panion measure. HH2f2, would have permitted districts, if they so wish' crt. to pay six per cent or their revenues In lieu of taxes lost by private utilities leaving the tax rolls. These measures were intro duced by Hen. Lyman Hons. The next day, February It, Sen V. K. Hurke Introduced u hill to accomplish the same purpose, the measure being SI12(J;j. The principal difference betw SBZtil and SlCilifi was that the former measure would enact an en tirely new 1MTI) law, while the lat ter bill would amend the present law. At a public hearing February 16, public power proponents at last united their forces and ugrecd that n new measure should be intro duced as a substitute for all others. This bill, sent in the next day by JIurke, was hIJ.ti)0. and was sub stantially the same us SlJlilifi. Ross Stands Pat Uut the catch In the whole busi ness was that Senator Itoss chang ed his mind and refused to with draw his hills, SII2U1 and Sitlitili. I'roponeuts felt that the iiurke hill, amending the present law, was safer because the present law was held constitutional a few weeks ago. They feared that if (hey re pealed the existing law and emu-led a new one, they would face a court fight that might hold up creation oflislricts. After Jttss' refusal to withdraw. tlio senate railroads ami utilities .committee began to draw up a new measure by amending Hit rices SI! '.H'JQ mill sidetracking the Itoss hills, Tax Parity 'inserted The commit lee, after hearing jiropoiieuts say that districts should stand on their own feet and hear lng opponents' ideas that It would "tye unfair to private utilities If din 1u-icts did not pay similar taxes wrote In u provision that districts "he taxed the same as private lit 111 '..ties. The committee also provided thai .districts may levy a total Ulinlll lax for 10 years to aid In starting operations, unci that they may lax itt tiny time tor payment oi gener lil obligation bonds. It was this provision that caused Senator (urke yesterday to decide to -try to gut unanimous senate consist to reintroduce the hill in the hWlno, jiurke fearing his bill was a rev iMiue measure, all of which must originate In the lower body. Seesaw Results The bill finally reached the sen ate floor last Friday, hut was re referred to committee for correc tion, the all-important lax provis ions being left out. If weul hack to the senate again 'fin unlay, but was sent hack to com mittee again at Hurke's request lor jninnr corrections. The bill leached the senate Tor 1he third time Monday, and the committee sought to have it con sidered yesterday. Hut this lime it vas Senator Itoss, whose own bills vero killed by the committee, who objected. He had the hill delayed until today, asserting he wauled ' jnoio time to read I he hill. Prolongs Session This Is the hill that Is prolong Jug the session, longest in history. Tomorrow will he the tJoih day of Ihu session and the longest prev ious session, in l!i:!:t, was till days. However, some puhlic power ad vocates dont like the hill as It now Mnnds. their objections being to j.he tax features. Charles Carey, acting Bonneville iidmiulstrator, said It would pre sent Oregon from getting Bonne ville power for many years. Ih J.. y. llosch, former head of the Peo ples' Power league, said he would ctttcmpt to "throw the hill In I be waste basket' when it gets to the liouse. Tills bill Is worse than no bill at all. The double with It is that the third house lobby iidsl wrote the bill." M-L- SYMPTOMS POINT TO A.
