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.

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

One of the unmasking bill's
opponents was a Baptist minister,

Freakish Winter
LONDON, Jan. 21 m Freak
ish winter weather has hrouphr
hardship to many parts of the
earth and unprecedented mild
ness to otners.
Meteorologists said seldom has
a winter been so spotty or, in
the southern hemisphere, a sum
mer so sizzung not.
Extremes of temperature were
reported from manv ivpinns nf
North America, where Southern
California had rare snow, the
Midwest had blizzards of unusual
violence and the East experienced
almost springlike warmth.
In Russia, where bitter cold Is
traditional and expected, inhabi
tarns of some sections had not
yet changed to the woolly Rus
sian underwear. Some Russian
rivers which in normal winters
are excellent highways for
sleighs and motor traffic were
not frozen.
Blockaded Berlin, short of fuel,
has so far experienced one of
the mildest winters In years. The
temperature climbed to 50 de
grees Fahrenheit last Tuesday.
Italy, after a touch of cold
early this month, has been get
ting warmer steadily the past
two weeks. Typical temperatures
yesterday included 62 degrees at
Rome, 41 at Milan.
Scandinavian lands and West
Europe also were unusually
warm.
In the United Kingdom it was
warm, murky and stormy.
One of the strangest weather
reports came from South Africa,
where the summer is just about
the hottest ever.
Phvsicians said it was difficult
to take the temperature of pa
tients because the air was much
hotter than persons running high
fevers.
