GOVERXOIVS VETOES UPHELD
Senate Sustains Action of Executive
on Six Measures.
STATE HOUSE, Salem, Or., Dec. 20.
(Special.) The senate, by almost
unanimous vote, today sustained the
veto of Governor Olcott with relation
to six measures passed at the regular
1921 session of the- legislature.
One of these bills, introduced by-
Senator Upton, would provide for an
Increase in the salaries of officials of
Klamath county. The governor vetoed
this rrfeasure because the salary of the
county assessor was to be doubled,
while the compensation of the other
officials was not increased in propor
tion. Another veto sustained by the sen
ate concerned a bill introduced at the
last session by Senator Ellis. This
measure provided for an increase in
the salaries of the official of Harney
county.
Other vetoed bills sustained follow:
S. B. 326, by committee on revision
of laws Amending statutes relating
to how conveyances of land shall be
made.
S. B. 327, by committee on revision
of laws Amending statutes relating
to reports and license fees of corpora
tions and stock companies.

Not until this morning did the fair
committee from Portland get organ
ized. This result followed upon the
arrival of Franklin T. Griffith and
Emery Olmstead. With the best of
intentions but no chief, the conjmittee
had been making no progress. On the
other hand, the upswite members op
posed to a direct tax on real property
expected a powerful organization
trom Portland with a concrete pro
gramme. The absence of organiza
tion was revealed when Representa
tive Sloan secured the signatures of
B6 members against a property tax
Since then the upstate combine has
been, as Representative Woodson ex
pressed it, "sitting pretty and wait
ing to eee where the fight would
start."
Meanwhile in the restive house
Representative Fletcher dropped
gasoline tax bill into the hopper. The
Fletcher plan calls for turning over
all gasoline money to the fair man
agement, with the exception of $5000
a month, until the fair organization
shall have received $1,000,000. It re
tains the present 2-cent tax.
Mr. Griffith and his associates tried
out the increased tax idea on Presi
dent Ititner and Speaker Bean. Nei
ther of these officials was over-en
thusiastic. In fact, the speaker said
that at the moment he would vote
against it and the president ' refused
to decide such a matter in 15 minutes.
However, they agreed to issue a call
for a joint meeting of the roads and
highways committees, and this was
done. As the gasoline problem vi
tally affects the highway department
the commission was Also Invited. It
was after 4 o'clock by the time this
much progress was made and the
committee listened for two hours
more without any memlSer commit
ting himself.
In opening his statement on the
suggested gasoline tax, Mr. Griffith
declared that if anyone harbors the
thought that in the event the state
refused to assist in aiding the fair
Portland will do the financing alone,
the idea should be dismissed at once.
Neither he nor other members of the
fair directorate would consider euch
move. The fair is Oregon's as well
as Portland's, and Is to be located in
Portland because it is the metropolis.
No matter what system of finance is
adopted if any Multnomah will
have to pay the lion's share, said Mr.
Griffith.
John B. Teon frankly confessed
'hat he did not know whether he
was for or against the gasoline tax.
for the subject would have to be
threshed out by the committee. How
ever, he proceeded to show that Port
land has paid $5.000.000 -for port de
velopment and $9,000 000 more for
cocks, all of which benefit the rest
cf the state. Then, tj- Multnomah
has relinquished its share of the
highway funds, which aggregate 12,-
S70.000.
As far as increasing the tax on
gasoline was concerned. Mr. Booth
predicted that would have to come,
regardless of the fair. Until he could
study the subject mo'o deeply the
i hair m a n of the highway committee
declined to lend hi support. This
caused Representative Kay to present
u hypothetical question as to what
the legislature would do if the gaso
line tax were the last resort. W.ith
a majority in the house against a
property tax and strong opposition
to an income tax. Mr. Kay pointed
out that the gasoline tax seemed the
enly solution left and that It was
a gasoline tax or no fair. As now
being discussed, the gasoline tax is
a different proposition from that
Mnator Joseph has ir. his bill, or
