mated to add $425,000,000 a year
to railroad shipping charges went
Into effect today.

rates go up six per cent. West of
the Mississippi river, a four per

tion of the Increases to these pro
ducts be1 postponed.

per cent advance In rates over the
1948 levels.

McKay Names Adviser
Governor McKay announeea ap
pointment of former Circuit
Judge Frank C. Howell, Portland,
as his legal adviser during the
Legislature.
Both Houses voted to pay their
secretaries $8.50 a day. That is
$1.50 more than last session, and
is 50 cents more than the legisla
tors themselves get. ach legis
lator has a secretary.
The secretaries get oald seven
days a week for the whole ses
sion. The legislators receive $8 a
day for seven days a week but
only for the first 50 days of the
session. After that, they get noth

mat is to use corporation in

instead oi to reduce property
taxes.
Former Governor Earl Snell
recommended the same thing two
years ago but the Legislature
tnen told mm it couion t re done.
Now, nobody sees anything wrong
with It.
Members of the legislative fi
nancial committees said today
they think the whole budget
problem can be solved without un
due hardship on any state depart
ment. And this means, too,
the building program for state in
stitutions and higher education.
There also is a good chance
that personal income tax funds
will be used for state expenses.
These also are now used only for
property tax reduction.
