The standard of equity of taxa tion with other classes of property are thereby retained. More Equitable Liniger stated that backers of the bill do not hold that it fully answers the problem of timber taxation, but they do believe it more equitable than the present system, which could result in con fiscation in some cases. An interim timber taxation com mittee appointed in 1959 threw the question back into the hands of the legislative taxation committee after wrestling with the problem until December of 1960 and coming up with no adequate solution. Still In Committee ' Liniger stated that it is doubtful the bill proposed by the association and introduced by Kelsay will get out of the committee,- as Several opponents are in the committee. However, he expressed the opinion it will have a good chance for suc cess if it does get out of com mittee. . Introduced at the chamber meet ing by division vice president Jack Snodgrass were chairmen of the division's committees, each of whom gave brief reports on their work to date. They are: Ray Doerner, urban relations; Carl Felker, water resources; John Amacher, parks and wildlife,; Frank Dixon, mineral resources, and Homer Hildenbrand, timber resources, who- introduced the speaker. Subcommittee Chairman Fran cis W. Ziegler, R-Corvallis, told the Department of Finance and Administration to come up with a new budget for the department. This would be a 20 per cent cut -' in the $2,730,000 general ' fund budget for the department pro posed by Gov. Mark O. Hatfield. If the cut sticks, it will be the first major bite out of the Hat field budget, and the subcommit tee will get the new budget it asked at a hearing Wednesday. Short clashed with Sen. Jean Lewis, D-Portland, over a state ment in the governor's budget report that the department was not enforcing the milk audit law. Short said he felt the law as it stands is unconstitutional and has recommended a new one. However, he added, there has been no court test of the law. Sen. Lewis asked if there -were any more laws that the depart ment was not enforcing and Short replied he could name none but also that he could not say there were none. Short said if the budget cut is carried through it will require the repeal of many laws for the pro tection of consumer?. , Most of the laws that relate to agricultural duties include dedi cated fees that pay for them and they do not come out of the gen eral fund budget of the depart ment, Short said. It is the consumer protection activities, he said, that require general fund money. He cited as examples meat inspection, control of agriculture diseases that affect humans and things like rag weed control. For lack of a second, a bill that would have given Short more than $400 in pay he said he did not get in 1957, remained on the sub committee table, where it will die if no action is taken. Short said in letters to House and Senate leaders he felt be was entitled to the money when he stayed on during the 1957 legis lative session at the request of Gov. Robert Holmes. In the letters. Short contended he did not get it because of partial san considerations. Sen. Lewis disputed this and said a similar request was defeated by both Republicans and Democrats.
