The OREGON STATESMAN. Salvia. Ore Ton, Friday Morning. Janoary 23, 1931 DIVIDED ROUTE TO SEA TALKED Winslow has Bill Ready but Wants to Talk to Com- " missioners First j anve isiaeiiants f Oregon's 36th Legislative Session Brings I Interesting Personages Jo Salem K TlebresentaMve Ceorge WIntlow or Tillamook county is an reaay to step to bat for the short-cut road to the Oregon coast beaches. In fact, ho has a bill prepared and virtually ready for Introduction but Winslow has oeen withholding hit legislative endeavor until he can confer with the state highway commissioners, j " ! Twice early this week when the eU V highway ! engineers made their report on tlx optional short cut routes to the coast, the high way commission has mado no statement. Chairman VanDuxer of the commission has been In Cali fornia; while Gates and Lynch are at their respective homes In M eld ford and Redmond. Both commis sioners In the state are ready to meet as soon as VanDuser gets back. .'-''(' ''"' Winslow is hopeful i that the highway commission might spon sor or at least approve a bill putting the new! shortcut road on the map. It seems dubious, how ever. It the highway commission would take such an unprecedent ed action. It has the power with out any Tote of the legislature to designate such roads as state highways as It sees fit. To favor i a certain bill would not only be j unnecessary but would start ! a dangerous legislative precedent, members of the highway com mission staff feel. H Winslow will probably Intro duce a bill, after conference with the commission, which will pro vide two routes to the coast. The roads would Je one and the same through Forest Grove and up Gales creek for a number oi miles. South of .Blur take, the road would fork, vSSorth branch fol lowing the ridge route to the Ne halem country and the lower route going southwest into (he Tillamook country. Winslow feels such a road would furnish the valley and Portland adequate means of ready access to the coast and at the same. time would settle the dispute over routes which has long divided the coast districts. While the ridge route could be bnilt at en . estimated cost j of g2.S00.00O and the Wilson river route at a cost of f 2.700,000, the two-route construction would add $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 to the cost. The reason for this lies in the fact that the most expensive construction la the ridge route is EDGAR MeDANIEL, editor Of the 1 North Bend Harbor, was a legislative visitor 'for a short time Thursday. A few years ago North Bend citlsens published a page ad, solicited, by business men themselves, prais ing McDaniel for his service to the community. , The postmaster of the city took a space, an un usual procedure, since not Uncle Sam but the postmaster himself had to foot the bill. : I A number of publisher were visitors at the capltol yeftterday.

Jack is young, collegiate, and when any of the young ladies are honored by a chance conversation their faces beam.

Last year at this time Kay was bedfast after a critical operation but now his health is good, his eyes are bright, and the force of Tom's trenchant voice Is often heard. Kay has a sense of humor, too; he exhibited . that Wednesday night at the press banquet when his two stories brought down the pouse. - Insurance Men Opposing ) Bill brokers from Portland conferred frith legislators Thursday la op position to the bill providing that a part of the insurance premiums paid In the city of Portland shall be applied toward building up the ; firemen's and ' policemen's pension funds.

STREET 1'hone 1435 SALLM, OREGON SIS Criticism of the Emeroency Board is Brought up On Senate Floor : The necessity r of leglslatloh that will curb the operations ot the; state emergency hoard was tressed by Senator Burke, chair man of the senate, ways and means committee, la the senate, Thursday, in discussing a bill carrying an appropriation of J m r a a A a m L a m. a os.vvv ror ins consimcuon ox a new cell block at the Oregon state penitentiary, r I Senator Burke pointed out that this appropriation was au thorised by the itatf emergency board, with the resilt that the outstanding warrants were now drawing interest at fthe rate of approximately $100 a day. ' "If the present practice ! continued." Senator (Burke said, "the institution heads will ig nore the legislature and go to the I emergency board for their appropriations. Some bill is needed at this session of the legislature that wilk curtail the operations of this Soard." . Senator Vpton dfeclared that he iwas In sympathy with the Tlews expressed by Senator Burke and would rote for any hill that would co i fine author ity ! In making appi oprlatlons to the i legislature. J "We should stop this reckless system of authorizing appropria tions of state funds without re gard for the wishes of' the legis lature," Upton - said, i Senator Upton said he already had pre pared a bill dealing with the operations ot the emergency board, but that . he would sup port a better measure In case one was presented. Upton also referred to log rolling by mem bers ot the ways and means committee as an evil that should be corrected by legislative ac tion. i The bill carrying the appro- PAGC THRED i i : , : : i ...... i -.. ... i ' I weaisi priation of $51,000 for the pen itentiary waa approved by the senate, after 'Senator Burke had explaljiei- that -tho. obligation had been contracted by the emergency ' board and would hare to he paid by the state. The senate referred to the educa tion committee a bill Introduced by Senator Eberhard i providing for the confirmation of members of the state board ot higher edu cation by the committee on ex ecutive appointments. Secret Ballot is Favored by 8t rarer Senator Strayer ; objected to a provision I of the bill making It Incumbent upon the senators to vote on confirmations by roll call. He said that experience at the 1929 legislative session Indi cated that a secret ballot might be preferred In ase the senators were to give true and unbiased expression to their thoughts. Senator Upton suggested that the law creating the board ot higher education be ! revamped so that the terms of the several members would erpire while the legislature 1 was lni - session, j He declared such an amendment would make It possible for the senate to confirm or reject the appointment without action On the part of the committee! on ex ecutive appointments, j I ! J The senate approved Senator Woodward's hill Increasing ; the Jurisdiction- of the Multnomah county district court from $S00 to $1000, and a bllf by Senator Strayer relating to declaratory Judgments. Trucks would be prohibited from operating on the state highways between 12 noon on Saturday and midnight Sunday, under the provisions of a bill in troduced, by Senator ' Upton. Trailers would be j prohibited from operating on the highways at any time. A proposed amendment fath ered by Senator Booth would in crease the gasoline fuels tax in Oregon from four to 1 five cents per gallon. , Under a bill introduced fay Senator Marks workers In saw mills would enjoy the same Hen rights as are accorded; to log gers. A new rule adopted Thursday provides that the public- shall be excluded from the floor of the senate for a period of SO min utes prior to and after 'each re- PROPOSE STUDY OF OLD ABE PEOSIiS Senator Eddy has Introduced a bill In the state senate providing that the governor shall appoint a commission ot three citlsena to conduct a study ot old-age pen sions and . unemployment Insur ance and report Its findings at the next legislative session. The bill carries an appropriation of $2100. The activities ot the state em ergency board would be curtailed materially through, the adoption of a bill Introduced by Senators Bennett, Strayer and Upton, pro hibiting the approprlaton of mon ey for erection ot new buildings, additlona thereto, -equipment, payment of debts. In excess , of that allowed at the last precede ing session , of the legislature. Provision i also Is made.
