W STATE BDOY WILL FACE MANY : i Annp pimiri rm LnilUL- l IVUULL1IIU Governor-Elect Pierce and Leg , isfator to Convene January 8 f or a Fight oh Lower Taxes. (Concluded Frost Fag On,) , tjbat will revolve around Its consider ation, will Stand, In publlo regard at .least, a the major subject for. legis lative consideration, OTHER MAX3T ISSUES . But close at its heels will come state highway legislation the question; of the reform and readjustment of eov- lrngiuon ; ne impending- organized , onslaught t upon the Industrial acci dent commission; and fish, that an- dent controversy handed down from the dim area when the Indian tribes fought lor vantage points along' the streams. And added to these will be legislatures, the little and .needless bills that serve to clutter th calendars- and clog- the wheels of every session. ' j ,;f ' v," ' ; ; - -: : Governor-elect Pierce hu announced that he win insist upon the enactment f anr Jncoms tax law. graduated .. In rata and so pitched in return that it will yield one 7 half of too total amount annually raised - by taxation for state purposes: 7 He contemplates in hta MRnliii recoinmnidiiMAn An fhla .subject that the law shall require the taxpayer to pay to the state a defined . percentare-, of what he pays to the1 federal government in income tax, at . the same tune and upon blanks dupli cats in general form. .This is for the ' purpose - of simplifying, administrative aamimstrauon. STBOjrO EJTEMIZS That , tnis recommendation or any Income tax proposal . that might be suggested for that matter, will meet with opposition, goes without saying. Powerful influences- in r the state are aligned - against any - income . tax. Others, tenders of' the large; pocket books, Insist upon a flat rate IT there is to be an income tax at all. There is little doubt but that the Income tax bill will be one around which, bitter controversy will be waged. , , Around .the severance tax. another revenue raising proposal of the Incom ing administration, more contention - may be .expected to revolve. There are indications that those opposed to the severance - lax van government-owned timber, as contended for by Mr. Pierce. ' are planning to start a backfire by having a btll slipped' Into the Ieglsla- i ture providing for a severance tax on all timber cut in the state, both that . from - government ' reserves and that from privately owned lands.' What lobby and a pressure this would bring upon the legislature may weu oe imag ". inedV: . '!;-7:. To the problems of taxation the leg islative n,lhtcnare of state approprla Uonaof necessity clings as a corallaxy. Mr. Pierce has Intimated that he will be able to show i untaxed, or nartlaUT untaxed sources of wealth that will raise the total assessed valuation of the stats by come f 200,000.000 or more. or approximately one-fifth of the pres ent totaL .; Suca a.- find would, of course, run down the. tax levy in tiro portion and ease the aching shoulders of the rural taxpayers to some extent. This expected discoverer. However, has led the governor-elect to the theory that the state educational institutions should, . for the coming two years at least, live within their miliars incomes and not come to the legislators for special appropriations. .-. - SCHOOL8 HEIB CLOSE . . - - The University; f Oregon 5 expects to do this. " Facing a reduction of In" come for the next year - of approxi mately $25,000,: due to shrunken as sessments, the regents of that institu tion have been holding down the in crease in attendance and are planning to absorb some 156,000 or the fire loss recently suffered by them,- leaving th legislature to maxe up the remaining third ot the total. (84.000 lost, or about 128.000, ; The University of Oregon medical school has shaved its budget to about 154.000 less than that of two years ago, and, its enlarged operations require additional revenue. ; There , is a thought expressed nere and there, ; however,- which does ot meet with entnusiaatio reception by university and college ; authorities, to the effect that the cost of maintaining the medical school should be absorbed in - the miliars ; appropriation ot the university, while it is also argued that the cost or the department oz arrwrul tural extension shout dbe taken care of from the millage funds of the Agri cultural college.,- An attempt to do this will doubtless be made, and op posed by the authorities or those in stitutions. COAST TO PCRH BOAS The future . administration of the state highway: department seems des tined to bring long hours of considera tion and. more or 'less heated discus sion before it; is determined. y Gover nor Pierce has set himself to fight for a paid highway commission, appointed by him. This proposal, will meet op position in the house ana sun more of it in tha. senate. There are not many who predict success for the plan. The ' highway construction, mainte nance and financing puszleV promises to be one of the dancer points In the session. Word comes down that the sponsors . for the Roosevelt highway intend to press for an amendment to the road map making that highway a prior construction project to be given first and Immediate attention by the highway 'department. The department has approximately 14.179,000 of bond money yet remaining to be spent and wilt have, in all probability, about an equal amount of federal funds. The Roosevelt highway, to complete, would cost more than : all of that, so it can readily be seen that there are more grounds for controversy In the high way situation than the character of the commission, or the Question of fu ture financing, , which in itself is a poser.. s1.? . r--1?'" i;i ? . - BEGKOTPIXQ M.A2T , -i , "Whether the state government shall be moulded into cabinet form will be another thing provocative 'of oratory and argument.- For a long time they have been -talking about consolidations and abolition of boards, and commis sions without result It may be that way this time.. To effect a straight out cabinet government would require extensive amer.5ir.enis cf the consti tution. There are those who would go part way. leave the governor, sec retary, of state and. treasurer as con stitutional offices, and regroup the machinery . of the , state about them. This would necessitate much amend ment of existing statutes and. all things 'considered. v Is a most difficult task during a 40-day session.- But the whole Question will serve to keep excitement alive at any rate. Then too. remains the associated subject of salary changes and reduc tions, it would not be surprising to see ' the governor's salary go back to S5000 a " year- or to see the salary of various department heads and chief aides slashed from their present alti tudes at $4500 and less to figures ina- tenauy oeiow. - 7, ?.;:' 8FAS OB C02TTBOI, - .4 j When it comes to irrigation legisla tion, no one knows what is going to happen. - It Is rumored that the- gov ernor-elect would like to see the irri gation - committees .of the senate and house sit jointly from the commence ment of the session, and be charged with the express duty of making, an -rhTuti-m investigation Into the or ganisation, ana financing ot projects over , the state now completed or in course of construction, and concerning which there has- been so much discus sion and rumor of unfairness and un soundness. " . Outside the legislature, powerful fi nancial' interests are lining up to se cure control of the Irrigation situa tion- In the state. This is complaint of the ' certification - and guarantee amendments -covering - irrigation r dis trict financing said talk of limiting the - state's obligations - under -. these amendments if it may be done. It would not be at all surprising to see the irrigation question become one of the chief sources of strife before, th end of the 40 days. - PAGE BETISIOJT - ' The bill to revamp the industrial accident commission act has already been drawn. In the days gone ny at tacks have been roads upon this coin mission and its law. but they; have com in the main from casualty Insur ance companies and have uniformly fallen short of any accomplishment. But this time an organised attack is planned upon the law.
