THE OREGON RTATKSM AN. SALEM, OREGON. SUNDAY- MORN1NO, JANUARY 23, 1921 PORT BILLS FEATURED (Continued from page 1) Apparently the state tax torn misBioaer has been overlooked. Thin official. --whoever he may le. Is one of the busiest in. the state and the position requires a high degree of care and skill, yet he re ceives only $2 f.0 a year. Senator Patterson's proposal to have the legislature appropriate J3iH.jii for the establishment of a modern school for boys who are TAXPAYERS! Read This: Do we want a so-called Chief of " Police who rttns around with stool pigeons trying to arrest everybody for some little infraction of the law In order to collect enough fines to pay for a new motorcycle for the city? Moffit claims he sent a couple of stool pigeons under age into my store and purchased a package of cigarettes. Are we tax-payers so poor that we have to adopt this method of raising enough money to buy a car so the Chief can have a joy-ride once in while?. Do we want a boy on a man's job, that's the question. I will circulate a petition for Joffit's recall. I am no law-breaker, neither do I approve of these snake-like methods of running the Police Depart ment, if H: G. DAMON Damon Grocery Co 899 N. Commercial St. (Paid Advt.) ward of the state is a sequence of Governor Oleott's special mes sage of last Monday. Generally tli,' opinion is that an .institution of the kind I ho necessary ami the hoy problem ho important from a humaiiMai ian and an altruistfc point of view, that few will dare atrai-k tlie measure even in the old reliable cause of economy. lllit Change lVoposed In seeking to chanse the. per sonnel, of the Hate emergency board. Senator Dell takes the i s.tion that the governor, the sec retary of slate and the state treas urer as administrative official should not perform legislative functions. Besides these three of ficials the board is now composed of the president of the. senate, the speaker of the house, the chair man of t he senate ways and means committer and the chairman of the house ways and, mean com mittee. The Dell measure would have all seven members elected on the last day of each legislative session, beginning with the present one. from the membership of the two ways and- means committees, with the president of the senate presid ing at the election, hut his duties with the board cease there. - The secretary of state wouTd serve as secretary of the hoard, ut with out a vote. In case of a 'aeancy during the bienniutn. another member would be elected from the two ways and means comjnittees. Senate hill 4 1, introduced by Senator T. F. Ryan of Clackamas county, was made a special order tor Monday. Kt liool Bill Hit. The bill repeals a brief section of the county high school tuition fund law whieh has had the effect of causing counties, through ap portionments by the county super- Intendent. to finance entirely small hif,h Bchools of ten or less pupils, and pay the entire cost ti educating the first ten students in any of the high schools, without burden im the districts. The bill is intended to remove only this feature of the law. but some mem bers of the senate claim to have discovered that it emasculates the act. Importance is attached to Sena tor Robertson's bill, presented early in the week, which would in crease the fees which banks pay to the state banking department for examinations. The Increase would range from 75 to 100 per cent. The reason for the measure is that with present fees," andthe necessity of the banking depart ment keeping within Its fee al lowance in the. matter of expenses, it is impossible to give thorough examinations or to maintain a sufficient field force of examiners. Tenure of county officers In Oregon is puL more nearly on a uniform basis by a measure or Senators Ryan and Vinton, which increases the term of county re corders to four years. Vote Counting Hill The Bell bill for counting boards in all election precincts having no less than 100 registered voters, and intended to expedite the counting of votes, is modeled after the West Virginia law. con sidered the best in the United States, but is an improvement over that law. The West Virginia law requires the counting board to bgin its work at noonion election day. Un der the Bell bill the board would be;; in as soon' as 20 ballots were cast, and the result would be that the count could lie completed within an hour or two after voting ceased.

Following out a recommenda tion of O. P. Hoff. state treasurer. Senalor Joseph is sponsoring a measure to create a state bond commission, to pass on proposed investments of the state's money. The commission would be made up of the governor the secretary of state and the state treasurer, who would receive no additional compensation for the service. One of the few measures that have been introduced with the rmerKency clause attached is the Farrell and Eddy bill to create the oftice of prohibition commis sioner. ' 1 The first proposal for consolida tion of state departments Is con tained in Senator Patterson's bill to unite the office of state Bealer of weights and measures with the food and dairy commissioner's of fice. This is recommended by the governor in his message and Is favored by C. L. Hawley. newly elected head of the food and dairy department. House Rill "IiOadel." . The outstanding features of the week In the house of representa tives have been the introduction of the anti-Japanese bill by the American Legion delegation, a bill by Representative Hindman of Multnomah compelling all port or ganizations to submit bond issues to the vote of the people, a bill by Fisher of Washington, provid ing for a fifty-fifty participation in the use of state highway funds by the counties and a bill by Hos ford of Multnomah, repealing "la bor's bill of rights." Each of these measures con tains a sufficiently large amount of dynamite to guarantee a strong fight on the floor of the house or in :ommiee. ana particularly, Is this true of the anti-Japanese and the anti-picketing bill. A bill introduced by the com mittee on Insurance, extending the powers of the State fire mnr.hal and giving that office full author ity to regulate the construction and maintenance . of fire escapes on all buildings where a large numner 01 persons congregate. Is looked upon as a conservative piece of legislation and has the In dorsement of the entire Imnranp. committee. Several bills have ben in triv dnced providing for free school dooks lor children in the gram mar grades of the state and (iAm o attention has been given In' the nouse to Dins ror the redisricting and reapportionment of the repre sentation in the legislature. io aaie me members of the house have held back' and for the first time in history, so far as Is known here, the senate has out stripped the lower house in the In troduction Of billS" harinr Iniru duced 135 to the 121 Introduced in me nouse or representatives since the session opened.
