for putting the plan into oper

Hearing This Morning Cen
ters on Consolidation of
; Schools' Regents
!
The-house of representatives -is
now, on its second day of "no pay
overtime, and when the "recess
was taken late in the afternoon,
nearly 40 measures had been sent
on to the senate or to the govern
or. Most of the measures were
of a minor nature, however, and
much of the "heavy work" is due
to come today.
Measures passed that attracted
interest were H. B. 528, by Ma
larkey, which allows branch bank
ing for state banks to the extent
that it Is allowed national banks
under the national banking code
Hi B-. 526, which cuts off slice ef
Union county and annexes it to
Baker eounty: S. B. 206. provid
ing foe flensing of persons taking
smelt, and H. B. 275, which pro
vides that non-resident users of
Uhe highways, shall appoint the
secretary of state as- attorney-in-
fact, so that suits may be brought
and protection afforded residents
in case of accidents or other liti
gation.
Opposition Lags Over
One Board, of Regent
One measure of outstanding im
portance to come up today is S. B.
192, which will merge the boards
of regents ; of the University of
Oregon, Oregon State Agricultural
college, and the normal schools.
The bill was to have been up for
third reading Monday, but delay
in printing amendments caused it
to be held over. To date no active
opposition has developed for this
bill, and university interests even
indicated Monday that they were
favorable to It. Some backers-pre
dict a unanimous vote for the
bill.
Another school bill, H. B. 556,
providing for extension work at
the university and : state college,
Is also, due today. This may cause
sTlittle debate, since It lumps both
schools In . one bill calling' for
2S0;000 to be divided.
Rumblings of wrath at the loss
of - the section of .Union county
were still heard around the house
Monday afternoon, and the issue
is not yet closed, some say. The
measure had 24 votes against it,
and it is expected that a definite
attempt to have, it brought back
for reconsideration may be made
today or tomorrow.
Unions Representatives
Protect Merger
Weatherspoon and Johnson, in
opposing the bill, said that the
proposed annexation would take
from Union county a vast amount
of yellow pine timber and min
ers Iresources of great wealth
that It would place the small tim
ber tract owner at the mercy of
large operators, and would com
pel a re-arrangement of the entire
road program of the territory ad-
Joining the proposed lines to be
made.
Representative Swift, sponsor of
the bill, said that every taxpayer
in the district had petitioned for
the change. He said because of
the":, topography Of the country
residents -are ' compelled . to travel
about twice -as far to reach the
county .seat of Union county as to
gft; to wBaker and. that without
passable' roads at this time of the
jrear the f people of the district
were practically cut off from
Union county.' " ' -Governor's

dissenting votes were those of Ea-
FoIIette, - Swope. Tompkins and

Auto Accidents
Take 25 Lives
'fn'Lasiyitonth
Twenty-five persons were killed
and 325 persons were injured In
a total of 1968 traffic accidents
during the month of January, ac
cording to a report prepared here
Monday by ! T. A. Raffety, chief
Inspector for the state motor ve
hicle department, "
- Approximately 760 of the acci
dents were due to carelessness on
the part of drivers. In 2 4 8 cases
the drivers had defective brakes,
while fn-271 cases the accidents
were caused by failure to give
right ot way. .. "
The state traffic officers partic
ipated ,ln 250 arrest. Warnings
were issued in 633 cases. The of
ficers collected delinquent fees in
the amount, of $11,742.25. Fines
imposed In connection " with the

Bond Issues ahd Tax Levies
Remain in Status QUo
as Bill Beaten
Measure to Open Willamette
to Commercial Fishing
Also Defeated
Establishment of a board of re
view and providing for appeals,
from any and all bond Issues and
tax levies in excess of the consti
tutional or legal limitations, was
disapproved in the senate Monday
by a vote of 16 to 12. The bill
was Introduced in the house by
Representative Anderson, Carkin
and Hamilton and was a -part of
the 'program of the state tax relief
commission.
It was provided that the board
of review would be composed of
the governor, secretary of state
and state treasurer. '
Where a vote of the people vtu
required, the appeal would be
heard prior to such election. The
board was authorized . to allow or
disallow the said bond Issue or tax
levy. In event the bond issue or
levy was disallowed a 75 per cent
majority vote would be required
to validate the bond Issue or tax
levy submitted to the board of
review for consideration.
Proposal Attacked By
Senator Joe Bailey
Senator Joe Bailey opposed the
bill on the grounds that it would
interfere materially with elections
held In Portland for the purpose
of levying school taxes.
Senator Marks explained that
the board of review would be a
recommending body and would not
have the final say in any bond is
sue or tax levy.
The senate also defeated a bill
introduced by Senator Jones open
ing the Willamette river to com
mercial fishing; during the period
January 1 to March 25.
It was explained by Jones that
the closed season on the Willam
ette river was not practical for
the reason that It had resulted in
waste to both the commercial fish
ermen and the public. '
Commercial Interests

The vote was 14 to. 14 with Sen-
ators Hall and Reynolds absent.
Senator Miller declared that the
passage of the bill would work to
the disadvantage of the sportsmen
and would result disastrously to
the fishing industry. He uregd
defeat of the bill in the Interest of
fish propagation.

PILING UP OF BAS
TAX IS CRITICIZED
Highway Commission Mem
ber Opposes Additional
Cent; Fears Unrest
R. W Sawyer, Bend, member of
the State Highway commission,
told a joint house committee Mon
day night that a propdsal.-provid-ing
for an additional one cent tax
on gasoline might result in creat
ing "unrest among the people and
jeopardize the general highway
program." Sawyer was speaking
on the house bill introduced by
Representative Hamilton, and Sen
ators Hall, Bell, and Norblad.
With a bill already passed for
increasing tne gasoline tax one
cent, he thought that any attempt
to put on another cent was un
timely. He pointed to the present
difference of prices of gasoline in
Oregon and Washington, the price
being three cents lower in the
neighboring state. If this differ
ential continues many people, es
pecially those in Multnomah coun
ty, undoubtedly will buy gasoline
in Washington, he said.
Another observation he mad-)
was that the proposal to refer the
measure to the people would mean
at least two years delay before U
is acted upon, and, besides there
would be uncertainty whether the
people would approve it.
He said that the Important
thing now is to, proceed along
conservative lines, make provision
for matching federal aid and not
try to. Increase the burden of tax
ation, in order. ta rush through" the
highway program.
Senator Hall, felt that there was
a strong sentiment for greater
progress in completing the major
highways. 'He said that the bill
provides for a pay-as-you-go meth
od and that it should not work a
speaking for the farmers, said that
their chief objection was the pro
vision for a half cent on distillate.
Remove this entirely, they said,
and there would not be much op
position. .-
