" . i, . THE SPECIAL SESSION
i Fkoki the. standpoint of effqeting legislation it was called
ty ,$aiiiu h special session to do, our state lawmakers, during
the recent special event which closed at the state capitol
Saturday night may' be said to have accomplished much and
to have performed a creditable job. A veritable truckload
of. small pernicious bills that
nacK tne real purpose oi the meeting were linaiiy cast aside
in' tlje, closing days and . the session got down to and com
pleted its intended work. . i(.
,nVhether or not the measures passed will prove the: best
ayvera'fqj the problems faced remains to be seen. The two,'
principal, nvitters of liquor control and school aid were met
the.former by the Knox plan, of complete state licensing' of
wjnqs and beers and state dispensaries of the harder liquors;
tKe .la'tteby,, a; privilege or' sales tax proposal to be placed
, before the voters next May.
. Revenues, from state operation of liquor dispensing are to go to fill badly
depleted. coffers for unemployment relief and other emergency relief needs.
Whether., or not the expected liquor revenue will reach proportions and
profits expected. In fo.ee of the tremendous cost of the setting up of the
state dispensary system, tula newspajicr doubts. However, the Knox plan
It Is, and le entitled to a fair trial.
..Also It seems, doubtful that the votora of this atote will next May reverse
tu A to 1 attitude expressed against a sales tax measure last July. Tho stoto
legislature again hae recommended Mils manner of procuring revenue as
the only possible way In its Judgment-to roplenlsh the sorry plight of our
school funds. Whothor the voters of the Btato will this time accept such
argument, aa final and give a majority to trial of the soles tox plan will be
more definitely known alter Its presentation next spring. More rigid coU'
leotlon of property taxes and a temporary Income tox, os hod been pro
posed,. emea,more certain, In thevbellof of this newspaper to roach the'
goal i of : school . relief : needed and desired. i
. The, bus.onrt. truck law that has created such a furor since Its passage
lost spring and. thereby one of the major neoossttles of tho sneclal session
to straighten out, was handled wol
principles oi me law were removed but
to farmers and small truckers.
In addition to these answers to emergency legislation for which the ses-!
aioq was caiieq, nmo wos louno to care lor several minor pieces of action
and the 10-Juror proposal was OK'd to ploce beforo public vote next Moy.
All In oil, though there will be differences of opinion as to the merits of
some of the legislation enacted, the foot remains that tho special session
did complete Its Job. And completed It In a crecjtnblo conduct of good
sobriety and purpose. This In the face of on expected and attempted selge
of lobbylsm that waa very ably and decisively sot aside.

AN OPEN LETTER
TO BOXING PUBLIC
That the boxing public tuny know the truth in the
nwtter, I tint writing this to point out the reason why
1 asked that no referee be used in my match with Jim
my Chandler in La Grande nest Wednesday night was
because the same system is used in the Olympic Games.
However, inasmuch as wo are to have a referee in the
ring by order of the boxing commission, it is okeh by
nie. Chandler is a fine clean-cut young fellow, a good
boxer, but without boasting I feel I'll knock him out.
If he does whip tne 1 hope 1 am on the floor."
