NECESSITIES CARED FOR Appropriations Where Real Savins Can Be Effected Put Off TTnttl Last and Committee Expects -to Keep Within Bounds. (Continued From First Page.) allowed under the 6 per cent amend ment. - But It must be taker Into considera tion that the committee decided to start Its work on tho institutions which have to be cared for and aa result the early pruning of the budget has shown no very material reductions. But a num ber of the members of the ways and means committee now have their bud gets so marked that they show reduc tions of between J500.00U and $600,000, so they believe they see their way clear to keeping within the amendment. Many arguments continue to be heard as to whether the amendment applies to the Legislature, but an Informal poll of the members of the Joint ways and means committee indicates that every member, whether they believe it writ ten In the law or not, intends to see that the appropriations remain within those bounds. Heavy Prune Requisite, If appropriations continue to come In as rapidly, in the next two weeks as they have In the past two weeks, how ever, the committee will have to work overtime with the pruning shears. The miscellaneous claims which so far 'have been presented include re quests for traveling expenses of dele gates to . National conventions, claims for rewards for arrest and also some claims for auditing companies which audited books in Clackamas, Marion and Yamhill counties after the uniform accounting system law was repealed in 1916. There still was some work to be done in these counties after the ap propriation for tne work was dropped and these requests are In the nature of deficiency claims. The appropriation bills which have ao. far been presented to the Legisla ture are as follows: S. B. 18 Abollsbinz State tax Commissioners $ 2.000.00 6.

A new irrigation code has been in troduced and it can be classed as an Im portant, constructive measure. The same Is true of the bill for regulation of . trust companies, which has the strong indorsement of tho superintend ent of banks and many bankers. It was Introduced In the Senate yesterday. In the coming week, however, much Important road legislation 'will make its appearance. One such measure will designate tho two main trunk high ways of the state, one to be in Eastern Oregon, the other in Western Oregon. The new highway code also may be in troduced. Another Important road measure aoon to come in will contain a general revision, aa worked out by a special committee of District Attorneys, of the present county road laws. Many Measures TJnbn port ant. Of all the 42 measures that - have passed either or both houses to date only one is of prime importance. This Is the Bean bill, which has passed the House, but still has to run the gaunt let of the Senate. It provides for an Issue of state bonds to match the $1,800,000 of Federal road money that will be available for Oregon in the coming live years. Several bills regulating motor ve hicles and increasing the auto license fees have come in, but none of them is likely to get through as it stands. The great majority of bills passed nave Dten measures amending the pres ent statutes in some minor particulars or having only local significance.

Markets in PorUand and Willamette Valley points are thrown open to East ern Oregon plaster dealers try an order of the Publio Service Commission handed down today, which allows- a rate of 10 cents per 100 pounds on plaster carloads. minimum weight 80.000 pounds, from Gypsum to terminals at r-ortiana. This is a reduction frnm the old rate of 12V4 cents, and takes xne rate just neiow that from compet ing plants at Tacoma and Mound House, Nevada.

STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or, Jan. 20, (Special.) According to Information received here the move to effect an economy by removing the state-aid feature from the Industrial Accident Commission and thus save-something over $225,000 for the state during the next two years, will begin centering at Salem during the next week1 and it Is understood that every effort will be directed to bring about this result through legislation. -Those who favor the plan expressed themselves today as -desiring a simple amendment to the present law which would change the present distribution of the financial burden and leave tne remainder of the act as it is. with the possible exception of other amendments which have been suggested by the Com mission itself. ' It is probable some such bill will come in. before the Legislature next week. It Is declared by the supporters of the . plan that, the proposed amend ment in no way Involves the question of whether the state shall continue to have a monopoly of the business, or whether the insurance companies will be allowed to compete. " Object Is Outlined. There Is no effort to fight the com pensatlon act or the Commission. It Is declared by the supporters of the pro posed measure, but they state that the ereneral taxpayers of the state, who have no direct protection or benefit from the fund, are paying many thou sands of dollars yearly into the und and assert that such would be unneces sary if the lumber and logging lndya- trv. wood saws, railroad construction. structural steel work and other has- arous occupations would pay the actual cost of their losses. A well-defined fight against the ex tension of the principle of state Insur ance In general is coming up. This much was conveyed In a statement re ceived here today from those that are Interested In the move, and it is prob able that the recently organized In surance Federation of Oregon will have an active hand In It. Olson BUI te Be Attacked. Among hills that will be objects of attack xiU be Senator pie on' a pm pro viding for the sale of annuities to per sons, corporations and associations. It is declared by those opposing it that this would develop Into a full-fledged life Insurance plan and would soon re sult In the creation of an expensive department. The state teachers re tirement and pension system plan also 1 will be attacked on tne ground tnar. il ls another life insurance plan In the embryo. . It Is pointed out by those -opposing the measure that subdivision 1. section S. provides that the state shall finance the expenses of the retirement fund board for two years, and subdivision 3, of the same section, provides that the pension fund shall consist of such amounts as shall be appropriated by he Legislative . Assembly from time to time for the purpose of paying the pen sions provided In the act. The standard health Insurance bill. If it appears, will also meet sharp op position from the same sources. It Is estimated by those who will oppose that plan that should the law become ef fective it would cost the state approxi mately $600.000 a year.
