FALL PRItlRY
PLAn DISLIKED
Loses ; out on tie Vote in
Senate; Confusion In
Dates Foreseen
Senater Bennett's for changing
the date, of tbe 1934 primary
- election la . Oregon from May to
August, failed, to pass ywter&iT
afternoon when the upper house
gave It 15 ayes to 15 nays. Sen
ator Bennett immediately changed
bis rote to no and declared be
would ask ' for reconsideration of
the measure today. : ; r' '
; "This bill fcives the people the
chance to make a needed change
In1, slow degrees,"- said Bennett.
"ACter we hay had one primary
election at the new date, the leg
islature can . either .extend, the
practice of the August primary to
the 1928 .election, or else. repeal
the changed date and hare, all
elections in May, again.. .
Bennett showed that the ma
jority of states had primary, elec
tions at a date considerably laier
than Oregon.- He condemned the
long time between the state's pri
mary and general elections as nn-
- economic, allowing far. too much
time Jot the . official , family of
the. state to- .spend away , from
business campaigning for the In
cumbent. -
Senator Moser . said he could
not- support the. bill . because .it
: did. not provide 'a uniform time
for the selection of delegates to
the.' national- conventions. He In-
-dlcated that having a primary
- one biennium in May and one the
..next biennium in August would
be extremely confusing. ..t. ,
Back to the senate . committee
on elections and . privileges, yes
terday went a bill introduced by
Senator Bennett providing that
. vacancies In the. legislature
should be filled by the appoint
ment of the governor, subject to
the' confirmation of the house in
which- the vacancy existed. '
The referring of the bill fol
lowed an extensive debate In the
upper house.
"It would be better." said-Upton,
tq let a county or district
go unrepresented than place the
appointment In the hands of the
governor. By passing this bill you
will surrender the., most precious
right in the gift of the people
This is dangerous legislation." .
Senator Hall also opposed the
measure which he declared was
not in the interest of the people.
There is! no more reason why
the "'governor should fill vacan
cies, in , the. Oregon , legislature
than ' the sunreme court should
' have' this power," said Senator (

Dissenting Vote .

Two major . measures for In
direct taxes for state purposes
the new. excise tax and the new In
tangibles tax 1 were . . hurried
through! the house yesterday with
only, one dissenting .yote. .'.-.1 r;,v
-.The new excise tax provides for
a levy of S per cent on net Income
of Oregon operated corporations
In 1931, the tax to be collected in
1932 and to supersede the existing
tax, which -is one of K per cent.
The minimum fee in the new bill
was cut from S 25 to $10 to afford
a fairer basis for small-corpora
tlons.' ... X ' . ' -The
- new intangibles ' tax. also
approved by the house, would be
collected In 1931 on 1930 income
on intangibles. It provides a 500
exemption for single persons and
$800 for married persons and also
allows offsets for Interest paid.
- While the Intangibles tax bill
approved by -the .house did not
carry a special election clause, it
Is expected that within the week a
bill to make such an election on
the 'intangibles - tax .-Imperative
would be introduced and passed
in the house. , v
