Bonds available un der the original issue were esti mated by Senator Hall at between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000. It was explained by Senator Hall that when ex-Governor Pierce went into office four years ago he objected to the sale of further bonds with the result that completion of the highway pro gram was retarded. The senator now urges that-the purse strings of the bighway department be loosened and that construction work be resumed. The resolution set out that ap proximately 3 220 miles of the state highway system of 4468 miles have been improved to state standards. In another resolution Intro duced by Senator Upton the gov ernor i3 authorized to appoint an inspector of county and district fairs for the years 1927 and 1928. It would be the duty of this in spector to visit each fair in the state of Oregon at least once dur ing the two years, and assist In the organization of an association of Oregon county and district fairs. "The inspector would inves tigate the requirements and dis bursements of the various fairs and report his findings at the next legislative session. Expenses of the inspector would be limited to $2000 during the two years. Senator. Upton said that the in vestigations by such an inspector should save the state of Oregon a large amount of money annually, and at the same time broaden the scope of the fairs. The senate refused to repeal the present law providing that men desiring to obtain a marriage license shall first submit to a medical examination. Senator Moser declared that the law had proved a .farce in that persons who wished ' to escape Its provisions had gone to Vancouver where they had obtained licenses to marry. He said Representative Swan had Introduced a substitute bill -providing that hereafter per sons who desire to marry would be -compelled to furnish an affi davit that they were free from loathsome disease for a period of one 'year preceding the date of their application for a marriage license. The proposed new law would apply to both . men and women. Senator Joseph branded the present medical certificate law as (Continued on paf 2.) McNARY BILL CONDEMNED United States Chamber of Com merce Objects to Measure WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. (AP) -7 Renewed opposition to the Mc- Nary-Haugen farm relief bill and hearty support of the McFadden banking bill was expressed today by the .United States chamber. of commerce. t After a call upon President Cdolidge John W.

Representative Alien's bill. which is nearly a facsimile of the South Carolina income tax meas ure, was assailed by Tax Commis sioner Earl Fisher and Dr. James Gilbert of the University of Oregon as being costly to operate and otherwise unworkable. They expiumea that under the conditions of this bill there .was a great amount of revenue fiom state, county, city and other bond3 that the state could not tax. Dr. Gilbert asserted that the simplicity of the bill was on the surface only and that in practice it was most complicated. That the federal government changes its rates and stipulations often and would tend to upset the state's figures. , Mr. Allen, in defense of the bill. said that he thought it a good measure, and in view of the fact that . the other measures before the committee might not pass, he asked the .committee to defer ac tion on his bill until he could col lect data in its defense.

(AP) With managers of the McNary Haugen bill driving for a iftte, farm relief debate sot under way in earnest in the senate today while-house leaders decided to de fer consideration of the measure until later in the week. Professing to feel that they have victory in hand, sponsors of the bill plan to force a vote in the senate by the end of the week,- by use, if necessary, of the cloture rule, which would limit debate and for which 6 S senators already have signed the necessary petition. House managers feel that more Jime will be required there and a vote probably will not be reached until next week. Under revised plans, the bill will be called up ih the house Wednesday with general debate expected to continue the remainder of the work. Chances of its passage by the senate were enhanced materially, its sponsors declared, when a com promise was reached between them and the southern group, led by Senator Harrison, democrat, Miss issippi, providing for a deferment of the equalization fee against cot ton for two years and adoption in its stead of the Bledsoe cottoij in surance.

A pact was supposed to have been entered into two years aeo between ex-goVernor Pierce the game committee and the fisher men that the Willamette river would be left open to commercial fishing for four years, according to C. Gates from Oregon City, a fisherman. Gates stated that Mr. Kirkwood and Dr. Moore were both present when the agreement was made,, but Dr. Moore told the committee that he was not "there, and that he bad made inquiries as to th other members, and they all denied being there.

'"If we capitalize our scenic re sources Oregon would be the -play ground of the Pacific coast," Mr. McPhillips stated. He also had a telegram from Fire Ctief, Holden commenting favorably on the bill. , , r The si-fa tent argument from Tillamook was that the closing of the bay would be taking a local matter away from the.
