PAGE SIX SESSION WARMS UP For the past two weeks freez- ing storms loafed around the capitol. This week they moved Um. things warmed up, outside i nd inside the legislative halls. For the first time this calm and purposeful session drew its bat tle hues. This week a group of i Jen esuing bills furnished the punch w(. have been waiting for. From now on anything can happen. The Columbia Valley Author- ity pro; 05a 1 is not new but it’s I tt . Other proposals would sanction a privately owned dam on the Deschutes river; re-ap port ion I he state’s legislative set-up; give agricultural board power to appoint director of ag riculture; creati' a commission on uniform slate laws; eliminati' liens against property of persons receiving old age assistance; ap propriate* $1,818,710 to continue Oregon Vocation school at Klam ath Falls; re-allocato gas tax revenues, motor license fees, etc. to small counties, and create a full-time liquor control director. SPEA KER'S APPRAISAL “Confronted with requests to talling $175,000,000 and having a possible income of $150,000.000, members of the legislature have been brought fact to face with an outstanding fiscal problem." says Rep. Frank J. VanDyke, tlm speaker of the house. “The dif- lerence of $25,000.000, should it be appropriated, would necessi tate a tax levy of 18 mills in ad- < ition to the load already being Inters take the attitude that the vote* last November on the wel- mandate to tan* measure supply each pensioner at least $50 a month. This, in effect, means an additional $3.000.000 contri bution to the welfare fund," said LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS NORMAL Those who deplore that Ore gon's legislativi' sessions are in- creasing in length and more ex- not completing the THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1949 RROOKTNGS-HARBOR PILOT. BROOKINGS, OREGON e World’s Beet Climate story. Population Increases with t .¿tended state business, higher salaries a nd general expenses t should be taken into considera tion. The session of 1947 cost $160- 540. Since then the population of the state has about doubled. The 1917 session, 20 years later, which v as the longest on record, cost $310,915, less than double the cost of the 1927 session. THUNDERBIRDS A-WING The less populated counties of Oregon vision Portland as dicta torial in the legislature and dom ineering the state, if the Neu berger bill becomes a law. The bill would provide for legislative representation solely by popula- t on with re-apportionment after every 10-year census. The measure has sparked one of the hottest battles of the pres ent session. Eastern Oregon counties and those adjacent to Multnomah and some others would lose many senators and representatives un- d< r re-apportionment. Multno mah county would have a third of the membership of the sen ate and the house. The county, outside of Portland, would be out-voted by the city which would in turn control the state. The two-thirds majority could be come a dangerous weapon with which legislation could be ob structed. STATE SHORT ON BUYERS Approximately $5,656,226 was expended by stat e purchasings agents in 20,000 transactions dur ing the last quarter of biennium nding Dec» 31, 1948.
