(Oregon Voter Reporter Service)
Salem, Feb. 14.- Legislation to
correct the tunnel district situa
tion is under way at the legisla
ture. The "tunnel district act” of
1921 was declared unconstitutional
on the grounds that it was im
practicable and confiscatory. The
objectionable feature of this act
was the property requirement that
an elector must be bor.a fide own
er of 5,000 square feet or more of
land situated within the district.
H. B. 102, introduced by Rep
resentatives John H. Carkin of
Jackson county, R. S. Hamilton of
Crook, Deschutes, Jefferson, Kla
math and Lake counties, anti Sen
ator J. O. Bailey of Multnomah
county, seeks to repeal the “tun
nel district act” of 1921.
A substitute “tunnel district
act,” S. B. 94, has been intro
duced by Senator Earl E. Fisher
of Washington county. Similar in
detail to the act of 1921, the
property qualifications of an elee-
tor have been changed. Senator
Fisher’s bill merely requires that
an elector be a bona fide owner of
land within the district.

Salem, Feb. 14.-Bulb growers
in the state will be affected by
two measures now up for con
sideration, should they be enacted.
One is H. B. 311, which classifies
bulb growers as nurserymen, sub
jecting them to the license regu
lations, and protection of the old
nurserymen’s law. The other is
H. J. M. 10, memorializing con
gress to enact a protective tariff
on imported bulbs.
The proposed fee of $15 is con
sidered nominal, in spite of the
fact that 97 per cent of the bulb
growers are small growers. The
law, to quote
Representative
Charles R. LaFollette of Washing
ton county, will be easy to operate
under, easy to enforce, and pro
vide for sufficient funds for pro
per inspection and regulation.
To meet the revenue situation
Dr. W. Carlton Smith, representa
tive from Marion county, sug
gests a $2.50 voters’ franchise tax,
to be levied on all voters for the
privilege of voting. He believes
voters will regard it as a privilege
to pay this tax until the state is
out of the “red.” Senator Miller,
of Josephine county, has a uni
versal sales tax applying to every
thing except farm products.
Tobacco tax plans are being
revived and a bill is drawn ready
to shoot in when revenue necessi
ties indicate. Repeal or modifica
tion of the millage taxes levied by
the legislature is to be attempted.
An adjustment will be attempted
to place part of tbe market roada
property burden on to motor ve
hicles in consideration of the re
ducing license fees on old cars. A
way may be found through requir
ing annual renewal of the driver’s
license.
Salem, Feb. 14.—F. Bernards,
prominent farmer of Washington
county, near Shefflin, was a re
cent visitor at the state legislature.
As an operator of twelve trucks,
he is deeply interested in H. B.
No. 280, which lowers automobile
license fee. *
