Twenty-two of the senators voted for the bills, while seven senators dissented. The bills apply to the state at large and all of its political sub divisions, and provide that a per son who votes at elections for spe cial tax levies and bonds shall pay taxes on property having an as sessed value of at least 9 300. Senator Klepper liaises Objection Senator Klepper said he was op posed to the passage of the bills for the reason that- they would disfranchise a large number of voters who were paying taxes through indirect methods. He asked if It was not true that mo tor vehicle owners would be pro hibited from voting on road bond Issues. He said this was unfair for f ne reason that the motor vehicle owners pay off the highway bonds through motor vehicle license fees. The bills also were opposed by Senators Joe Bailey and Joe Dunne. "I cannot " see any reason why we should disfranchise thou sands of voters through the adop tion of this property restriction' said Senator Dunne.

B 154, introduced early in the ses sion by Representative Egbert of Wasco county, and since buffeted about from committee to commit tee, back to house and back to committee again. The measure would remove several cities from exemption of county road levy, as granted in their charters. Supporters of the bill claim that these cities exempted by char ter snouia now be pieced on a parity ' with other cities In the state. Cities In counties over 25,- 000, which Include Wasco, Doug las. Tillamook, Jackson, Marion and one or two others. Important cities concerned include Salem. Tillamook, The Dalles, Ashland, and others. Attorney Williams declared Tuesday night before the road3 and highways committee that this measure would affect Salem, and would disrupt a system that is now operating satisfactorily for both Salem and the surrounding county. -Salem Is spending some $30,000 on the Pacific highway within the city limits, has spent $350,000 on bridges, and is spend ing $138,000 annually on market roads. The measure if passed would put the city on the 4.6 mills basis. Of this Salem would get half back, however, although this move would necessitate an entire ly new system to be, worked out. Miss Cecilia Gavin, city attor ney of The Dalles, who has already appeared before the committee, was present again with a plea that taxes were already high in her city and declared that this measure will create an unjust bur den. Action on the bill was put over until Thursday, on request of An drews of Multnomah:, who desired to hear from various people on this question. NEW FLIGHT RECORD E U.S. ROOSEVELT FIELD. New York. Feb. 5. (AP) Captain Frank Hawks set a new record for a non-stop trans-continental flight today. Maintaining an average speed of almost 150 miles an hour, de spite snow and Mg and rain that drove him high into the sky aud for a time threw him off bis course, he made the Journey 36 minutes and one second faster than the only other plane that ever flew without halt from the west coast to the east coast. Hawks, piloting a scarlet tor pedo-shaped Lockheed monoplane and accompanied by Oscar E. Grubb, a mechanic, left Los An geles at 6:37:30 o'clock, Pacific time, yesterday afternoon. He landed here at 2:59:30 o'clock eastern time this afternoon, giv ing him a flying time of 18 hours, 21 minutes and 59 seconds. The only other west-east trans-continental non-stop flight ever accom plished was made late last sum mer by Col. Arthur Goebel In an other Lockheed with Harry Tucker as passenger, in 18 hours and as Minutes. Tucker and C. B. D. Collyer were later killed attempt ing to beat Goebel's time. There have "been two east-west tran-contlnental non-stop flights. The first which took almost 27 hours, was made by Lieutenants MacReady and Oakley Kelly in 1923 and the other was made by Tucker and Collyer In just under 25 hours after Goebel had set his west-east mark.

Feb. 6 (AP) A new outline of the probable settlement of the long standing problem of relations between the pope and the Italian state was given out in Vatican 'circles today with the un derstanding that It would be sign ed next Sunday and publicly an nounced two days later. "In some respects the new basis appears more practical, than the solution first suggested for en larging the present papal territor ies. The only accession to which the pope is represented as agree ing is a minor rectification of the persent Vatican confines on the Bide of Porta Vavalleogierl. It was reported, however, that he does accept an indemnity of 2.000,000 Lira .(approximately $105,000. 000) to be devoted to foreign missions, for the Italian occupa tion of the pontifical states. Pope Insists Hell Have No Subjects The addition of Villas Doria and Abembelek to the Vatican gardens with the intervening territory would have produced complica tions because several thousand persons live in this area. The pope always has maintained that when an agreement wae reached he would insist on a fundamental clause that he "should have no subjects." According to the latest reports the pope would preserve the apos tolic palace of the Vatican with the present garden rectified so as to make possible the erection within j them of a railway station which j would give him access to the i world. He also would retain the palace and the papal villa at Cas Palace and the Papal villa at Cas tel Gandolfo. IVY DILL PUSSES SENATE IS SLATED WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (AP) An increase in the navy by 15 cruisers and an airplane carrier was voted today by the senate, 68 to 12, with the stipulation that the ships be laid down before July 1, 1931. The bill Is almost the same as that approved by the house a year ago. It must be returned, however, for the consideration of the two amendments made by the senate. Approval of these is expected without the necessity of a confer ence and If this is done, the meas ure then will go to President Coolldge. Disregarding the wishes of the president, the senate, like the house, voted overwhelmingly to specify when construction of the ships shall be started, and if Mr. Coolldge accepts the bill it will be Incumbent upon-- him to recom mend at this session a budget es timate for five of the. cruisers. The program involves a total appropriation of $274,000,000. Jn. eluding $17,000,000 for each of the 10.000 tons cruisers, and $19, 000,000 for the airplane carrier. Mr. Coolldge has had his doubtB of the government's ability to meet this financial outlay and he is obviously very much displeased at the refusal of congress to listen to his plea for control over the naval program. But he has not decided to veto the measure. Friends of the bill in the long debate have pointed constantly to the growing British navy with Its 63 cruisers whicb were not involve ed in the Washington limitations agreement of 1922. The new cruis ers will give the American navy 33 modern cruisers with a total tonnage of 296,000 tons, against 33 cruisers for Japan with a ton nage of 206.415. The British ton nage is placed at 386,636.

MULE DEER GIVEN ADDED PROTECTION Bag Limit Reduced to One Animal; Bid For Season Change Fails Mule deer In eastern Oregon can be a bit more careless, where they park themselves next hunt ing season, for henceforth only one instead of two will be allowed each blood-thirsty gunsman. That is, of course, provided H. B. 139 continues on its way and is pass ed by the senate and signed by the governor. It successfully passed the house, after a spirited debate, Tuesday afternoon. Friends of Mr. M. Deer failed to get the season shortened how ever, so Mr. Deer and his older sons will have to be on the look out from September 10 to October 20 as usual. The bill. In brief, gives hunt ers In eastern Oregon the right to kill but one mule deer instead of two. It doeB not interfere with the two deer limin It western Oregon. In the debate opponents of the bill claimed there are plenty of mule deer In the southern part of eastern Oregon, and that it would be unfair to the hunters in this region. No exceptions could be made; however, if the bill was to go Into effect, it was pointed out, so the measure was passed with the one deer proviso.
