X 4 hf V IR ON COUNTY S0LQN5 TAKING LEADING ROLES Brown Presides in Senate At Times; Spaulding's Bills in Limelight Abrams Slogan is Economy; Paulus Leads in Bills Filed and Passed Exploits of "Three Musketeers?' Recalled by Death of Army Ace Marlon county's delegation Is taking a prominent part in the 88 th legislative session, figurine well among tbe leaders in the number of bills introduced., in work on committees and senate and house, debates. Senator -Sam Brown, dean of the delegation, in addition to im portant committee work, has been assisting President Fred Kiddle as presiding officer of the senate, having charge Saturday morning while the debate was going for ward on the Upton resolution to keep the session going until prop erty-tax substitutes had been found. Brown has introduced no major measures but is giTing his active support to a group of meas ures aimed to ease the load on mortgagors. He favors the Dick inson bill to give a two-year mor atorium on mortgage collections. "I think it more important that' the owner of a place be kept there if he is doing his best than that be be dispossessed and put on the relief roll," Brown commented yesterday. Income Tax Advance Favored by Brown Senator Brown will support measures for an income tax in the higher brackets and for higher in heritance taxes. He has not made up his mind as yet on. H. B. 35 providing a Bales tax on luxuries. He is strictly against a general sales tax. Like Senator Burke with whom Brown usually votes, the local senator Is hopeful the three-mill property tax levy may be cut down by stringent state economy. Senator C. K. Spaulding was also honored by the senate as the week closed. A resolution felici tating him npon his 68th birthday and his work in the lumber indus try was unanimously adopted by the senators in rising vote and flowers were placed on his desk. Senator Spaulding has intro duced a measure to abolish state owned car, making state workers provide their owns cars. He would have the state then pay the work ers a small mileage fee for tbe use of their autos. Spaulding Planning Another Relief Bill The senator's 110,000,000 R. C. F. loan bill for the aid of needy Industries struck a legal snag and he withdrew it but he is preparing a substitute measure which he thinks will meet R. F. C. appro val. Senator Spaulding led a senate fight to prohibit the use of state highway moneys on roads in in corporated cities but the measure was voted down. He has-been act ive in bis committee work, taking a leading part in the investiga , tions of the committee on unem ployment relief. Representative Carl Abrams has been working night and day In the lower house. He Is chair- man of the important committee on unemployment relief and had much to do with the revised bill which will be reported oat favor ably Monday. Abrams is also working hard daily on the ways and means committee. He has . .urged major salary reductions. A brace of bills Introduced by Abrams would compel the real es - i tate", fire patrol, corporation, in m surance, and state Inheritance tax departments to turn all their gross Income to the state treasury and to depend upon budget ap proved items for their operating -expenses. Abrams nas also introduced a bill to, permit a county court to refer mooted items in its budget for vote of the people .or to allow the citisens of a county to initiate a test vote on some item of ques tioned value. Paalns Prolific In Writing Bills Representative Otto K. Paulus leads the delegation in number of Bills introduced and in the num ber which thus far have passed the house. Many of his measures deal with more or less technical changes in laws relating to legal procedure. Paulus took a firm stand In the special and then In the regular session against tile state's going on a warrant basis " and against repeal of the three- mill realty levy until a substitute tax had been found. Mrs. Hannah- Martin Is eoncen trating mucn of ner effort on H. B. SI which bears her name. It provides an excise tax on certain alleged luxuries including tobac " co, cosmetics, malts and other Items. She has offered the bill in X lieu of a general tax on sales. It Is being considered by the com- smtee on taxation and revenue and will be reported out when the v ways and. means . committee Is ready to report the amount of money needed br - the state In 1913-1934. Mrs. Martin Is active In the committee work of the group on public health and mor als, on education and on constitu tional law revision.

Delivery Made In Hour and Initiative Taken President-Beet by And VOODFLIKJG W.'tfi the death of lieutenant Irvln A. Woodring, famous army stunt pilot, at Dayton, O., the curtain was rung down on the career of the lone survivor of the famous "Three Musketeers of Aviation," an aggregation of fliers that had thrilled flying fans throughout the nation. The trio was originally composed of Lieut. Woodring. lieutenant W. L. Cornelius and Lieutenant J. I Williams. At var ious air meets all over the country the trio was wont to thrill spec tators with the series of aerial acrobatics they staged in the clouds. Tragedy first reared its head among the gallant company when Lieut. Williams was killed in 1028. He crashed from the midst of an inverted formation at the National Air Meet in Ixm Angeles. On that occasion. Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh took Wil liams' place in the "Musketeers" in order that the show could go on. Just -one month after the death of W imams, Lieut. Cornelius, the second member of the trio, was killed when his plane collided with one flown by Roger V. Williams. The latter parachuted to earth. After death had left him the sole survivor of the daring trio, Woodring rontinued the hazardous business alone. His duty was that of testing experimental planes. In 1030, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his feat in flying documents of the Japanese ratification of the London naval treaty from Vancouver, B. CM to Newark, X. J., in record time, although Lieutenant Wil liam Caldwell, who carried duplicate documents on the trip, crash ed to death in a blizzard over Wyoming. WARM SPRINGS, Ga., Jan. 28 (AP) Franklin D.

As a result, a committee from the club will confer with the board of ag riculture and the Joint ways and means committee of the legisla ture on the subject. Levi H. Mc- Kee, Ivan H. Laughary and Sid ney Miller were named for the task. H. L. Gribble of Canby was re elected to presidency and W. 8. Bartlett of Salem to secretaryship of the club. Levi H. McKee of Perrydale was chosen vice-president. W. F. Rollins of Portland an nounced he would put up a trophy for the best Jersey show staged by any county club. The Marion county club also offered to make the membership silver cup it won last year a perpetual trophy supply of the gases. The Multno mah officers hurriedly delivered the steel bottles to state police and the latter set out for Salem at high speed. Within one hour and 31 min utes after Salem firemen tele phoned for additional oxygen, state police had the gas bottles at the Dohlon lad's bedside. The Portland police radio sys tem played a leading part in the swift delivery of the oxygen. All cars involved were equiped with receiving sets and thereby inform ed of their part in the lifesaving venture.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 (AP) Senate wets and drys prepared tonight for a sizzling controversy over the sharply cut and restrict ed prohibition enforcement fund sent to It by the house. Hardly had house wets defeat ed today a dry drive to remove the restrictions on the $8,440,000 enforcement fund for next year, when senate leaders voiced their differing intentions. Senator Blaine (R., Wis.), said the reduction from $9,120,000 to $8,440,000 for prohibition n forcement in the $102,602,000 supply bill for the state, justice, commerce and labor departments was "not enough." Another prohibitionist, Senator Capper (R., Kans.), said the amount left Was "too low and would cripple the work" of en forcement. Turning strongly legislatlTe- minded yesterday, members of the Marion county bar assocla tion vigorously rapped proposals to reduce the salaries of judges i or 45 per cent and protested the suggested amendment of the state constitution to permit the legislature to reduce salaries of Judges in office. Resolutions on these questions and against mort gage foreclosure moratoriums were ordered drafted and sent to the legislature. The lawyers declared that they would not object to further salary reductions for judges, al though the latter had already taken 10 to 15 per cent cuts voluntarily, but that they oppos ed any cut as high as 40 per cent. If Judges' salaries are made too low. judicial timber eventu ally will be weakened, it was averred. Giving the legislature power to reduce the salaries of Judges in office would subordinate the judiciary when it should be on a level with the legislative and executive branches of the gov ernment. It was asserted. Among protesting arguments presented by the attorneys were that the nronosed constitutional amend- (Turn to page S, col. 1) POLICE, FIREMEN AID f JLt..

On one hand those who scorn parliamentarism ' try to convince him the country Is in such a state of emergency that the fata of the people is mora important than the letter of the constitution. On the other hand organized labor ot all political shades solemnly adjures the president to "energetically op pose all underground efforts aim ing at a coup d'etat and to insist upon a constitutional solution of the crisis." PARIS, Jan. 28. AP) Presi dent Albert LeBrun Is looking for a strong man to handle the deli cate parliamentary situation re salting from the overthrow early today of Premier Joseph Panl Boncour. The powerful figure of former Premier Edouard .Harriot looms as . potential head of tha govern ment, although his strong attitude on the war debt momentarily ap pears to eliminate him.' A certali amount of receptivity, however, waa indicated in his statement to tha Associated Press relative! to tha possibility of his forming a cabinet. "It Is too early, ha said. "The lines are not clearly drawn." It was If. Herrlot who was overthrown because ha Insisted that Franca make tha debt payment to the United States December 15 By SHELDON F. 8ACKETT The a 7th session of the legisla ture reaches midstream early this coming week with its major work and accomplishments yet to be achieved. The bothersome and all important question of state ap propriations, of state taxation, of new organization of state govern ment and a score of affiliated questions either are in bills now before committees or else remain to be introduced. Public hearings on major legis lation will continue throughout the week while the ways and means committee will grind on through the thousand and one items in the 1933-34 budget with little bone that any appropriation measures can be reported out for leglslatire consideration within the next 10 days. Committee reports in greater numbers are expected this week on some ot the more individuals less important bills which will be followed by third reading and passage or rejection of the measures. Debate on really vital questions can hardly be ex pected In either the senate or the house for at least another week and there Is much prospect that the legal and pald-for 40 days of the session will be prolonged. Revenue Measures Being Held Back Taxation and revenue wnicn se concerned the special session tat first week In January are topics resting In committee whllo mem bers of both houses await the final word from ways and means on the real needs of the state. A dou bled income tax measure seems certain to come up for vote along with a suffer Inheritance tax bill. Then two varieties of Eales tax measures will probably be report ed out, one a general sales tax with shelter exemption and H. B. 35 providing a sales tax on certain specific items including tobacco. malt and cosmetics. The latter is considered more likely to pass than the former. Talk of cutting the general tax on property to on or one-and-one-half mills for 1933 goes on among legislators but there Is increasing evidence that the property tax for three mills will stay and that any tax meas ures passed will be auxiliary to a property tax, not In full substitute for it. The roads and highways com mittees ot both houses may be able to report out their program for state highway revenues this week. Members are not yet agreed upon a program. There is unani mity of view that the state auto license cut must be extreme: some members favor a. flat $5 license te to prevent a $3 license meas ure carrying. Others would adopt a plan like that of Senator Allen calling for a basic $5 fee and an additional charge based upon the value or the weight ot the auto. An added one-cent tax on gaso line wiltpTobably be reported out favorably by the highway commit tees la order that 6tate highway revenues be certain of sufficient amount to meet highway .mainte nance and fixed charges and to provide a minimum amount of moneys held necessary for pay ment of county bonds and lor maintenance work on secondary highways which will probably be turned back to the counties for relief. Changes in State's Setap Proposed A group or major legwiauTe matters dealing with other state important interests await atten tion. The banking department's pro posals for code revision introduced by Senator Williamson are sun m committee. A group of Insurance measures providing more revenue and revis ing present insurance underwrit ing laws are ret to ha reported out. After numerous hearings bills relating to interest on small loans may come out. with favorable re port or are equally likely to be adversely reported. The Beckman beer sale meas ure win be warmly debated Mon day night at a public hearing and is certain ot equal warmth when It reaches tha floor of tha house. Relief legislation, introduced last week through the adminis tration. Is now smoothed out and will probably pass in the early days of tha earning week. It calls for'onry a small appropriation of $15,000 for administration. The relief funds will come largely from R. C F. Raymond Wilcox i certain. , of appointment as state director of relief. Measures . to help, debtors ; farm mortgage moratoriums, -terest rate -.reductions, " amend ments to mortgage clauses, have been introduced but there la bo concerted Woe in either house tr force them through.
