TWO NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON. FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 194? Battle Over Proposed Dam Shaping at Salem (Continued Irom Page One) who deposits $50 in a bank, then writes a $2,000 check, and skips out of the state. Under present law, such a crime is only a mis demeanor and a person who writes such a check can't be brought back into the state. The bill would not apply to a person who innocently overdraws nis account, because In that case, there is no intent to defraud. The House Military Affairs Committee gave its approval to a bill to give veterans $70 a month educational aid, instead of the $35 they now get. Branding Law At Issue The House got a hot potato when its Agriculture Committee introduced a bill to enact a tough er cattle branding law The bill is sponsored by the Oregon Cat tlemen's Association, but cattle men disagree violently over it. The bill would set up a live man cattlemen's commission to administer It. The 10 cent per head branding fee would be rais ed to 25 cents, this being the most controversial feature. The present branding law is administered by the Department of Agriculture, and does not ap ply to Western Oregon. The new bill would apply to the whole state. The committee said the hill would put more teeth in the branding law and provide for more brand inspectors. This would make It harder to steal cattle. Sen. Frank H. Hilton Intro duced a bill to permit deduction of medical expenses from state income taxes. A bill to let cities spend up to iu,uuu a year tor advertising was Introduced In the Spnate. It would double the present amount. Sales Tax Bill Likely Sales tax talk is current around the legislative halls, although legislative leaders said they doubt ed whether the Legislature would pass such a hill. The 19-17 Legis lature passed one, but the people overwhelmingly turned It down. But it appeared likely that a tales tax bill will be introduced. Rep. Ralph T. Moore, Coos Bay, House Tax Committee chair man, said he is receiving several letters a week from rural resi dents who want a sales tax. Rut, Moore said, It is doubt ful whether It would receive ser ious consideration. He said his committee is seriously consider ing the business tax of of 1 per cent of gross Income. The joint Ways and Means Committee said it was going to take its time before approving any salary Increase for state em ployes. A $10 monthly Increase Is recommended In the budget. One Bill Slain The House killed, almost unani mously, a bill which would have prohibited persons under 21 years of age from going into any place where alcoholic beverages are sold. In tht voice vote, only one vote I for the bill could be detected. The measure, by Rep. Joseph E. Harvey, Portland, would have provided a maximum penalty of Souu line anu six montns in jail for any person who knowingly lets a minor enter a place where beer, wine or other alcoholic beverages are served. The House action came on a recommendation by the House Alcoholic Control Committee that the bill be defeated. Rep. J. O. Johnson, Portland, committee chairman, said the bill Is unnecessary because state Liq uor Commission regulations per mit minors from being in any place where alcoholic beverages are served. Rep. Raymond Coulter, Grants Pass, said the bill would keep minors from entering many res taurants, hotels and depots, be cause many of those establish ments serve beer and wine. Harvey said he would make another attempt later In the ses sion to pass such a bill. He would provide that all persons carry cards with their pictures to prove they are over xl. Hut legislative rules forbid In troduction of any bill which has been defeated earlier bv the same Legislature. Full Time Board Sought Legislation to create a full- time state liquor commission might be introduced in the Legis lature soon. The proposed bill has the bless ing of the Oregon Tavern Owners Association, whose secretary, Or en R. Campbell, Portland, ap peared before the House Alcohol Control Committee. The bill would provide for three full - time commissioners who would be appointed by the Board of Control. The Board would de cide how much money to pay tne commissioners. Liquor commissioners now are appointed by the governor for four-year terms. But any gover nor can remove a commissioner whenever he wants to. The com missioners now get paid $10 a day only when they actually work. Campbell said "fluctuating poli cies caused by changing person nel on the Commission makes enforcement of Commission rul ings doubly difficult." Campbell said the job Is too large for commissioners serving on a part-time basis. The bill Is backed by several House members who plan to In troduce It next week. To Fight Budworm Pest The Senate Forestry Commit tee approved a $125,000 appropri ation bin to light the budworm pest which threatens to ruin Ore gon's forests. The bill goes to the loint Ways and Means Commit tee, and speedy legislative ap proval is expected so that the state lorester can begin Iignt ing the pest immediately. A bill to create an Oregon po tato commission and set up stand ards for them is to be introduced In the House. The nine-member commission would have an $8, 000-a-year administrator. Grow ers would be taxed 11 cents per luo pounds to iinance tne pro gram. Sen. Ben Musa, The Dalles, in troduced a bill to give each state policeman a $5,000 term life in surance pouey.

W)--Georgia's House of Representa tives heard the Ku Klux Klan eulogized yesterday as a "glorious symbol." The lawmakers also heard it described as made up of "masked angs that slink through alleys y night." I hen they voted 89 to bo to let the secret order's members keep on masking themselves with hooded headgear. Their action, technically, was to kill by postponing indefinitely a measure to outlaw hoods and masks, eerie symbols of the Ku Kluxers. One of the unmasking bill's opponents was a Baptist minister, itep. jr . ri. bills oi Candler Coun ty.
