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

$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

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. Rapidly-ex
panding business of the state pur
chasing department requires live
i urc basing agents the legislature
was informed, two more than
now employed. .
A DVI SO
