Salem, Oregon, Thursday Morning, February 26, 1931 m , mm wuaai CUT DEFEATEl Public Salary Reductions Bill Goes too far, is i v Senate Verdict A uniform ten per cent cut on the salaries and vases of all pub lie official and employes pC the state of Oregon, as troll as em ployes of ' Its - school r districts, county and city governments and other public institutions, : was voted down -yesterday by the sen ate, despite the Impassioned- ora- tarv of Senator uurne wno in troduced the measure. - . -"Now la the time to retrench and to lift the heavy load of taxes from the necks of the property owner. Burke declared. 'If . we cmt the expense of government we would bare just' that much more . money lui ui w The . proposed legislation ex empted all officials and employes receiving less tnan I1Z5 a momn and offices created by the state constitution, i "We certainly bare lot of nerve to consider this bill." said Senator Dunne. "It Is too far reaehlnr for t the reason that it applies to all political subdlvl sions In the state." Senator Bailey read a letter front the state federation of labor .opposing1 the measure. Contrary to W ill Of Peorie. Held "This bill Is out of order," said Senator Hall.5 "and should be de feated. "I am not going to vote ta reduce the salaries of the school teachers in Coos county.' Senator Miller declared that the . bill was contrary to the will of the people, and would take the bread and butter out of the mouth of the -workers. Senator Bennett suggested that the bill apply only to officials, but no action was taken to this end by the senate. "Senator Burke Is so tight that it hurts him' declared Senator Upton, as he peered In the direc tion of the author. "This cer tainly is no time to reduce wages and add to the unemployment sit uation." "This Is the funniest bill that ,has come before this legislature." said Senator Moser, "and we should not waste any more time on this question." EE nriT mm Passage of a house bill making ? possible the pjacing of Hens on i property of delinquent rent pay- ers who Inhabit apartment houses, was agreed upon by the senate yesterday when it accepted the mapority report of the Judiciary committee that the bill pass. The rote was a close one and followed an extended debate. In the house the measure carried 69 to 1. 1 . The majority report was op posed bitterly iby Senator Upton, who declared that the bill was vicious and not warranted. "This , proposed legislation Is discriminatory-against the man who builds 1 bouses for rent," said Upton, "and should be defeated. Under this bill the landlord has authority to :, lock the door qf an apartment and V compel the tenant to walk out empty handedL It Is unfair and against public! policy." Senator Crawford declared that the bill was aimed at the crook and grasshopper tenant. "The ho teis hare had! this law for many firs." said ! Crawford, "and . tnere Is no reason why its pro visions should not be extended to include the landlords of, apart ment houses "This is Just another case of class legislation," said Senator Bailey. "This bill would apply to . only one class: of persons, and the ' groceryman and; Jaundryman would be subordinate-. It Is not a eood bill" Senator Miller said the propos ed legislation had operated suc cessfully, in connection with the management of hotels, and that no honest man had suffered be cause of Its provisions. "This bill la too broad In Its scope," said Senator Strayer, "and is against public policy. If you , are going to protect the landlords of apartment! houses why not ex - tend the protection to the owners and landlords of, all other Build ings? r It is not. public policy to make a man a public charge." . Museum Tax is Turned Down by Seriate Action The senate, by a vote of 17 to 13. Wednesday defeated a bill Introduced by Senator Moser and others authorizing a tax levy not to exceed one-tenth of a mill for the support of a free museum of natural history In the ' city of Portland. The tax would be limit- : ed to Multnomah county, and , would raise approximately f 37. 00. Senator Dunne declared that the measure was sponsored by a number of Portland's largest tax payers and wos worthy of favor able consideration.

Malheur County To Retain Name The senate by Indefinite post ponement yesterday ruled that Malheur county must retain its present name. Previously the house had passed. with few dis senting votes, a bill changing the name of the county to "Sinnott" honoring the late Nicholas J. Sin nott, eastern Oregon congress man. The move to change the name from Malheur was occa sioned by the fact that the French name was interpreted to mean "bad luck."

The senate yesterday post poned indefinitely a proposed constitutional - amendment which would have made, it possible - to consolidate the -Multnomah coun ty - and Portland governments. The resolution Was introduced by Representative Angell, but failed to" receive the support of a ma jority - of the : members of the Multnomah county delegation. Senator - Woodward declared that the proposed consolidation would , eliminate duplication and reduce governmental costs. "I admit that this resolution is not popular with officials who feel, that their status may be dis turbed," said Woodward. "The county government is poorly or ganized. This - resolution Is in the Interest of consistent govern ment,, and is not an attempt to coerce or control, the rural dis tricts" of Multnomah bcunty." Senator Dunne referred , to the resolution as the same old bunk that has been before the legisla ture at previous sessions. "The rarmers ox Multnomah county don't want this consolidation." said Dunne, "and this resolution should be defeated." , Forces Farmers To pay for Frills ' Senator Staples said such a consolidation would force the farmers of Multnomah county to submit to higher taxes and frills adopted b the Portland munici pal government. The senate also postponed In definitely a bill Introduced by Senator Crawford providing for tne assignment' of circuit Judges to other districts where there is a congestion of business. "We want our judge to . re main at' home," said Senator Up ton, in opposing the bill. "If Multnomah connty hasn't enough Judges that is a matter that con cerns the . people there. This proposed legislation will result in heavy financial . expense and re tard litigation in the rural dis tricts of the state." Senators Moser and Strayer also spoke against the bill.
