RESUME OF WORK OF
OREGON LEGISLATURE
Solons Obliged to Hold Over to
Finish Large Amount
of Business.
Big Bond Bill Sent to Governor Sen
ate Slaughter Salary Bill Local
Initiative and Referendum BUI
Passed Lieutenant-Governor Favor,
td Military Training Compulsory
Provide Tax for Farmer Roads
. Threshers Regulated,
Salem. The legislature til unable
to complete its work within the 40
days legally allowed for a session,
which expired at midnight February
21, and found it necessary to hold over
this week to clear up the large amount
of unfinished business. The members
will receive no pay for sessions held
after the 40 day period expired.
The senate cleared Its desks and
could hsve finished in the allotted
time, but the mass of unfinished busl
nesa which clogged the wheels In the
house rendered it necessary to extend
the session.
While there was a large amount ot
unfinished buslnesa to receive atten
tion when sessions were resumed Mon
day morning, most of It was of minor
importance, about the only matter ot
general Interest to the state at large
being reconstruction legislation.
The biggest piece ot constructive
legislation of the session, the $10,000,
000 road bonding bill, finally ran the
gauntlet in both houses and waa
passed up to the governor to become
a . law. Inasmuch as It carried an
emergency clause, when the signature
of the governor was attached the vast
fund created to carry out Oregon's
progressive road building program
could Immediately be made available.
Provisions of $10,000,000 Bond BUI.
Briefly, the $10,000,000 bond bill
provides that $7,600,000 of this sum
shall be used tor completion of the
Pacific highway from the California
line to Portland and the Columbia
river highway from Astoria to The
Dalles, these roads to be hard-surfaced.
The remainder, $2,500,000. is
to be used tor the improvement of
other roads.
The principal and Interest ot the
bonds are to be met by automobile
licenses. All bids are to be let in
open competition and county courts
or county commissioners can bid on
work in their counties. If desired,
the commission can build by force
account
The bond bill provides for issuance
ot $10,000,000 in bonds in denomina
tions such as the commission may de
termine, and to be sold during the
next five years.
Road Funds Made Elastic.
It provides for making more elastie
the various funds under control ot the
highway department and to include in
the state highway fund the various
funds heretofore provided by law. The
highway commission is directed to
carry out the road programme enacted
by the people in 1917, being empow
ered to make such local changes in
roads as it deems expedient
In event royalties are claimed for
patented pavemihts, the commission
may pay such royalties directly to the
ratentee and deal Independently with
contractors who in that event shall
bid only on the construction of the
road, without including the cost of
any royalties that may be claimed.
Salary Increases Killed In Senate.
The senate upon recommendation of
the ways and means committee mer
cilessly slaughtered bills designed to
increase salaries of state officials.
While the slaughter was in progress a
storm of protest came from senators
who saw their pet salary bills killed.
The debate at times was bitter and
sprinkled with personalities, but the
only instance In which the senators
did not sustain the recommendation
of the committee was in connection
with the bill to Increase the salaries
ot supreme court Justices to from
$4500 to $5250 a year.
The only other salary bill to receive
favorable consideration was a house
bill by Mrs. Thompson, Increasing the
salary of the state dairy and food
commissioner from $2000 to $3600 a
year.
House Disapproves Death Penalty.
The house killed senate Joint resolu
tion No. 21, the capital punishment
bill, without debate.
The bill, requiring actual competi
tion in bidding for public work, over
which the senate wrangled for a day
and a half, was disposed of by indefin
ite postponement in the house.
Senator Nlckelsen's bill granting to
the people of various counties of the
state the initiative and referendum
powers on questions of local applies- !
tlon, was passed without opposition.
Under .the provisions ot this measure
salaries of county officials, the crea
tion of new county offices, questions
of bounty, grazing and other problems
of strictly local application, which are
now dragged through the legislative
machinery, will hereafter be deter
mined by the people ot the counties
affected.
Practically .one-third of the legisla
tion handled by the present session
has been of this character.
House Favors a Lieutenant-Governor.
Over bitter but ineffective opposi
tion, the house passed Joint resolution
SI, by the committee on resolutions,
providing that the people shall vote
on a constitutional amendment to cre
ate the office ot lieutenant-governor.
Under the measure, the lieutenant
governor will be the presiding officer
ot the senate. In case of the death or
absence of the governor, the lieuten
ant governor will become chief execu
tive of the state. The lieutenant gov
ernor will receive $10 per day while
actually engaged In the duties of bis
office. The measure is patterned af
ter the Washington" system,
Military Training Bill Passed.
Universal military training In the
high schools and colleges of Oregon is
made compulsory under the terms of
a bill by Senator Hurley ot Malheur
county, which passed the senate.
The bill specifies that military train
ing shall be adopted In the high
schools of the state at the opening of
the new school year next tall. Ex
emptions to Individual pupils who are
phys'rally unfitted tor the work may
be granted and certain high schools
which might not be able to carry on
the w-irk properly also can be ex
empted. Each male pupil must have
at least three hours' training each
week.
Farmers' Road BUI Passed by Senate.
T; enable the construction of strict
ly farmer mads, the senate passed a
bill which provides for a tax of 1
mill on all the taxable property In
Oregon, a total ot about $1,000,000.
. There would be available $2,000,000
a year for the construction of exclu
sively farmer roans, providing that
the people, to whom the measure is
referred, favor it at the next election.
This Is the sort ot measure that the
Oregon state grange has been advo
cating. It is estimated by the tax depart
ment that the 1 mill will raise $1,000,
000 a year. This tax. it must be dis
tinctly understood. Is separate from
the 4 -mill tax for general road pur
poses. The 1 mill tax. will go Into a
fund to be used for matching money
from the counties.
Label Bill la Passed by House.
The Martin label bill, designed to
advertise Oregon and give the state
full credit for Us products, was passed
by the bouse. The measure provides:
, Section 1. All persons, firms or
corporations operating under their
own private brand in the state of Ore
gon In the business of packing or can
ning fruit or vegetables either fresh,
canned, evaporated or otherwise, shall
plainly designate on such private
brand that goods were Oregon grown
or packed in Oregon. For the pur
poses of this act it will be sufficient
for the firms whose headquarters are
In Oregon to either designate the local
address of the cannery or to designate
the location of their main office in the
state of Oregon.
County Judges to Keep Their Power.
The house by an overwhelming vote
refused to strip the county Judges of
the state of their jurisdiction over
probate work and other matters of
law as provided In a bill fathered by
Representatives Dennis and Hare. Ac
cording to this bill the county Judge
would have been made simply a mem
ber of .the board of county commis
sioners to act in matters of road work
and other business coming under the
Jurisdiction of the commission.
Threshing Machine Public Utilities.
Threshing machines are declared to
be public utilities and to come under
the Jurisdiction of the public service
commission under the provisions of
Representative Westerlund's bill,
which passed the house.
The bill, according to Representa
tive Westerlund, is designed to compel
threshermen to give heed to the de
mands of the small farmers andnot,
pass them up for the larger Job, as
he declares they now do. This bill
does not attempt to regulate threshing
charges, but simply give the farmer
a chance to appeal to the public serv
ice commission in cases ot discrimina
tion as to service.
Legislative Brevities.
A bill to place a heavy license tax
on oleomargarine passed the senate.
The house voted to appropriate
money to adopt the federal plan tor
killing predatory animals.
Senator Huston' bill to exempt the
homes of civil war veterans trom tax
ation passed the senate.
By a vote of 24 ayes to 26 noes, a
bill permitting women to serve as
Jurymen failed to receive the sanction
of the house.
The bouse killed a bill requiring
both parties contemplating marriage
to secure medical certificates before
being granted a marriage license.
The senate defeated Representative
Crawford's bill which provided that
one set ot election officials should
start counting the votes after 25 per
sons have voted.
Senator Banks' resolution for a con
stitutional amendment providing for
paving the way for compulsory voting
passed the house without material opposition.
