E TAX SOUGHT Senator Pierce Would Levy on Receipts Above $4000. BOND ISSUE IS OPPOSED double Auto. Fee, Gasoline Levy and Increase or Road Tax Mil lagc Also Proposed. BTATT3 CAPITOL. Salem. Jan. 22. (Special.) Admitting that he has an income of J20.000 a year. Senator Pierce has introduced a state income tax measure, which he believes will raise between $1,500,000 and :.000,000 a year. All of this income tax Senator Pierce wants- devoted for road building. The Senator is probably the only member of the Legislature who is voicing ob jection to a bond issue for the con struction of roads, and he is willing to raise revenue from any source avail able to secure cash rather than suffer a bond issue. Unless the Legislature adopts a state income tax, asserts the Senator from I-'nion and Wallowa, the people will enact one through the initiative some day, and the Legislature may as well accept one carefully drawn, such as he has submitted. Bonds for Roads Oppoard. All incomes above $4000 a year are taxed under the provisions of the bill, and exemptions are few. If a husband and wife have a joint income of more than $4000, the tax must be paid. Bonds for roads are strongly opposed by Senator Pierce, albeit practically every other member of the Legislature favors a bond issue for roads, the au tomobile license fee to be used for meeting charges of interest and princi pal. Instead of having bonds. Senator Pierce proposes four methods of rais ing money for roads. The main prop in his programme is the income tax. which, he says, at a minimum, will produce $1,500,000. Then he wants to double the automobile license, which he rays will develop $500,000. 'asoline Tax Suggested. A third source of revenue is a tax en gasoline, which he contends will add $400,000 more, depending on the amount of tax placed on the petrol per gallon. The fourth source is increasing the road tax millage from one-fourth to a full mill, and this, estimates Senator Pierce, will add $750,000 more to the sum raised by the present quarter-mill. These various devices are calculated to bring in approximately $3,200,000 a year, ready money. As a special concession to the bond advocates. Senator Pierce will agree to authorizing the State Highway Com mission to issue such amount of bonds as may be necessary to match any Fed eral road money appropriation " that may be available for Oregon, but that these bonds shall not be issued until such time and in such amounts as they are needed. Salaried Commissioner Aim. Senator Pierce insists that there is no stronger advocate for good roads than himself, but that it is a problem which will have to be studied for years As a support for this contention, the Senator wants to see the present State Highway Commissioners eliminated on the ground that the commissioners should devote all their time to the job and, consequently, should be compen sated. In furtherance of this thought, he has a bill calling for the payment of Commissioner in the sum of $4000 a year and that they must devoto their time exclusively to road work. While the Senator avoids saying that the personnel of the existing commis sion is objectionable to him, he says the supervision of the road programme should not be turned over to retired millioniares, or men who have large personal interests which occupy a great part. of their attention. Bond, lssne to Prevail. Aside from the automobile license Idea, it is not expected that any of the other suggestions of Senator Pierce will prevail. This session the mem bers are friendly to a large bond issue, to be cared for by automobile license fees, on the theory that the people who use the roads should pay for them. The only difference of opinion exist ing on the road programme are the dif ferences of members who are seeking glory from the situation. HOUSE MEASURES Total 138 ' Twenty-nine Proposed LegislalHc -i.

(Spe cial.) The Vancouver Barracks cutup plant, where so many million feet of spruce was cut for aeroplanes, is to be reopened and will employ about 3(10 men. The mill will be operated by the United States Spruce Production Cor poration, with headquarters in the Yeon building, in Portland. About 100 men have been employed at the mill since the force was re duced shortly after the signing of the armistice. LABOR OPPOSED TO BILL i Continued From First Pane.) ceptance by large numbers of criminal syndicalism. There will be various labor bills of fered before long in the Legislature, but probably none of the others will stir up quite so much interest as the Smith bill before It Is disposed of. Wod from Portland is to the effect that the ranks of labor are decidedly opposed to the Kubli-Dimick bill, be cause of Its possible construction by ex ecutive officers later, the contention being that with such a law 'on the books labor unions can be continually harassed. So just to show that capi' talisin is as much and more subject to strictures, t. H. 31 made its ance. appear- Something has gone amiss with the bills which the State Federation of La bor recommended at its recent conven tion. The subjects were adopted by resolu tion, but the bills have not been worked out for some reason, albeit members of the official labor lobby have been here for several days. TITI- MOnXINC OREGON TAX. THURSDAY, JAHUARY 83, FLOOD OF INSURANCE BILLS BEFORE HOUSE Incrased Tax on Premiums Sought by Committee. SALARY RISE IS APPROVED Licensing or Real Estate Dealers and Insurance. Solicitors In-' eluded in Legislation. STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Jan. 22. (Special.) With a grist of insurance bills coming in today, the most of them being Introduced in the House by Rep resentative Martin, of Marion, chair man of the committee on insurance proposed legislation on that subject is now largely fn. with the exception of a few which may apepar later. Among the principal bills Is one to Increase taxes upon premiums of In surance companies, which, it is esti mated, will increase the revenue of the department from $90,000 to J100. 000 a year. Another provides for in creasing the salary of the Insurance commissioner to $4200 a year. A general summary of insurance pro visions so far introduced and pros pective legislation along that line fol lows : Insurance bill provides that all notes given in payment for premiums upon all insurance policies shall have the words printed across each note "non negotiable." It appears that many agents have disposed of notes before the application has been accepted by the company, and when called upon to make good the note some have failed to do it. Attorney lees Included. Another provides that whenever suit or action Is brought upon the policy of insurance that, in addition to the amount that the plaintiff may recover. a sum for : ttorney's fees shall be added to the judgment. A third provides that on accident and health policies issued to soldiers, that where the companies take advantage of the military clause and no claim has been made, that the premiums be re turned to those who have paid. A bill has been introduced providing that all real estate agents be licensed, and that the Insurance commissioner shall have charge of this department. Another has been introduced pro viding for increased taxes upon pre mium of insurance companies. The law has been amended to eliminate the word "claims," and from this it is es timated that the Increase will be be tween $90,000 and $100,000 annually. Still another would prohibit the writing of insurance policies or in demnity of any kind except through regular authorized and licensed agents in this state. Soliciting License Proposed. A bill has been introduced requiring a license for any person soliciting any kind of insurance. Another bill provides for amending the rating law wherein it gives the In surance commissioner the right to re view all fire insurance rates and to promulgate rules for the operation of the rating bureau. Another measure provides for grant ing the insurance commissioner au thority, when he deems it advisable, to examine all insurance companies and agencies. There appears to be some complaint that a few agents are paying rebates and commissions to unlicensed agents, and this gives the commis sioner in his Investigation the right to examine their books. Increasing the insurance commission er's salary to $4200 a year is the object of another bilL This has been recom mended by the citizens' committee, who have just filed a report with the Gov ernor, the Life Lnderwriters' Associa tion and the Insurance Federation of this state. Portland Office Advocated. A bill has been introduced permitting the insurance commissioner to secure suitable rooms for an office in the city of Portland. This does not mean that the office will be removed from Salem, but at the request of many insurance agents and for the convenience of the insuring public an amendment has been made to the present law permitting the insurance commissioner to establish such an office if he deems it advisable. The bills for the amending or repeal ing of laws reguluting fraternal so cieties have not yet made their appear ance, but from correspondence received by the Insurance department all so cieties in this state but three have re quested that there be no change in the present law. It is expected no bills will appear changing the laws regulating mutual fire insurance companies. At a meet ing recently held by representatives of the mutual companies it was agreed that the present law was satisfactory. It has been reported that a bill will be introduced, known as the single agency law, which will limit fire in surance agents to but one in the city of Portland. LAND FOR A 1.1. I'ROI'OM I) Second -Measure Provides, for Citi zens Wlio Are Not Farmers. STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Jan. 22. (Special.) The second land settlement bill appeared today, introduced by Rep resentative Richardson. It provides for the appropriation of $210,000,' $200,000 of which is to be paid in a revolving fund and the remainder for adminis tration of the act. The object of the bill is to equip and provide farms for any citizens, the Eddy bill In the Sen ate being circumscribed to eoldlers and sailors. The Richardson bill provides also for creation of a land setlement com mission to include the Governor, State Treasurer, Attorney-General, State En gineer and a citizen of the state, to be selected by the other four. Provision Is made for the purchase by the board of not more than 10,000 acres of land, to be selected by a commission ap pointed from a list of names des ignated by the dean of the agricul tural college.

These purse seines catch the small fish released from the hatcheries and thus destroy large quantities of salmon before they are full grown. It is doubtful whether the Legisla ture can enact the bill, as the waters of the Columbia are the joint Jurisdic tion of Washington and Oregon, and it is said that congressional action would also be necessary to change the law. MERGING BILLS IN MAKING SIX Ml t Hi D TO COVLK ANL RECOMMt'X lATI .S. Sentiment in Both Ilonses Tend Indicutc. Defeat of Consoli dation Programme. to STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Jan. 22. (Special.) Six measures proposing consolidating of practically all depart ments and bureaus under state super vision Into three or four centralized departments, are now being prepared for the joint House and Senate con solidation committee by John H. Car kin, a Medfor-i attorney, who was em ployed today by the consolidation com mittee. Mr. Carkin was a member of the con solidation commission appointed under authority of the last legislative ses sion, and the consolidation measures which he will draft into bills embrace the plan which he. Herman Von Borstel and A. J. Johnson, other members of the commission, have agreed upon. So sweeping are the consolidation bills now being prepared that senti ment in both House and Senate appears to be that the present session will terminate without any definite consoli dation programme having been adopted. rnc first consolidation bill proposes to amalgamate seven distinct boards and several subsidiary departments into a general Board of Agriculture. Tha boards which it is proposed to consoli date are the Board of Horticulture, state fair directors, Pure Seed Board, State Horticultural Society, State Lime Board. Livestock Sanitary Board and Veterinary Examining Board. This bill is one which directly af fects the farming interests of Oregon, and inasmuch as members of the con solidation committee say that farmers have been more keen for consolidation than others, it is proposed to set thia measure adrift on the uncertain legis lative sea as a "feeler" or pilot for oth ers which are to follow. Members of the consolidation com mittee say that in presenting their sev- Our American Workmen BmmmmWl A BL amf Jk saSS asaWSla. J' . . oiooa corpuscles are lacking.

By so doing, they will act simply as the clearing house for this class of bills, and will leave It entirely with the membership of both House and Senate as to the advisability or feasibility of the proposed consolidations. Opponents of proposed consolidations are making it plain that they will op pose passage of any particular measure until all or practically all have been in troduced. If they show sufficient strength to tie up action on the first bills until all are presented to the Leg islature it is predicted that the gen eral programme win meet with defeat. I The combined bills, it is said, will "step on the toes" of too many friends of the lawmakers and there will be enough vote-trading put across to halt the progress ot most ot these economy measures. The consolidation committee will j hold dally meetings. but Chairman I Dimick said today that it prohably wlll be some time next week before the first bill Is ready for introduction in the House or Senate.
