END THIS WEEK
Houses Rush in Past Week
But Only one of Major
Issues is Decided
(Continued from pas 1)
provisions irere dead letters be
cause no enforcement laws were
now in effect since the Anderson
law was killed last November.
Senate "dry" leaders will chal
lenge this statement, citing a
group of laws now in effect and
being used laws which would
hardly stand up if the constitu
tional prorisions were abolished.
This group thinks it unwise for
Oregon to repeal her constitution
al amendments against the liquor
traffic until, "if and when" legis
lation Is provided to regulate li
quor's sale if the state is bound
to go "wet".
The Beckman beer bill, as re
vised, comes up for house debate
this week. Under its terms re
tailers' can sell unbroken' contain
ers of beer and restaurants and
hotels may sell beer with meals.
Beekman thinks the raeasare will
hold up in the courts, whether or
no the state's constitutional
amendments on prohibition are
repealed.
Representative Johnson an
nounced Saturday he would seek
Introduction of a measure which
would Impose on all law enforce
ment officials In the state the
concurrent duty of enforcing the
Volstead act along with federal
officials. Johnson may have trou
ble getting his measure into the
hopper at this late legislative
hour.
ChaB( for School
Law Mostly Drad
Most of the legislation affect
ing the schools is dead or dying.
Teachers' tenure changes have
been killed, a move to cut down
elementary school apportionments
by reducing the spread in age on
census school children has failed,
changes in the transportation acts,
are wavering. The major legisla
tion tliu" ar on education simply
eliminates minimum salary sched
ules until 1935. The Stockdale
county unit bill has strong sup
port and may pass although the
ever-present grange lobby is dead
set against it.
After five weeks of continuous
committee work and debate, the
auto license bill of the combined
committees of the senate and
roads and highways made its ap
pearance Saturday in the house.
The bill is somewhat of a com
promise between the flat license
plan advocated by Senator Dunne
and the graduated tax sought by
Senator Allen.
The new measure which seems
destined to pass puts a $5 licene
on passenger autos of 2600
pounds or less weight. A license
of $7.50 will be charged on pas
senger cars weighing between
2600 and 3300 pounds; on cars
between 3300 and 4000 pounds
$10 will be paid and autos over
4000 pounds in weight will bear
a flat license charge annually.
The new measure lifts th state
gasoline tax from four to five
cents a gallon and puts a $1 an
nual payment, on all drivers' li
censes Instead or the 50 cent re
newal charge now made each
three years.
Millafte Tax Upon
Trucks is Favored
Mntnr bus and truck bills are.
almost ready for final lntroduc-
tlon and it seems likely that a
millage tax on each ton mile, a.s
provided in H. B. 80. will be re
ported out favorably by the Joint
highways committees.
About the best legislation mort
gagors may expect is the adminis
tration's resolution which makes
a hearing on all facts about a
foreclosure mandatory before a
Judge.
The resolution also cites the
injunction that "those who sees,
equity must do equity" and there
by urges circuit Judges to con
sider carefully before they give a
decision which eliminates a mort
gagors' equity after he has made
every possible effort to pay. The
action Remanded in tnis resolu
tlon is thought to be constitution
al whereas demands for an ex
tended "moratorium" are of ex
tremely questionable validity.
A series of house and senate
measures dealing with retail prac
tices: advertising, customs of con
ducting scales, bans on utility sale
ot electrical equipment, etc. are
very unnaeiy io pss.

Seven Bills are
Put to Death by
Painless Method
The house yesterday put seven
bills to their final rest through
indefinite postponement by adop
tion of an unfavorable majority
report.
Most prominent among the
measures killed was one by Re
presentative Duerst and McPhil-
lips which would have abolished
the present tenure law for teach
ers. The house turned down two
bills changing Juvenile eourt pro
cedure, refused to permit levy of
the elementary school fund on a
state equalized assessment, and
did not approve a measure to al
low cities to secure refunds on
their purchases of gasoline. The
house also rejected Representa

for the biennial election of all
school directors, each to serve
concurrent terms of two years.

yesterday by men who attended

forestry men outlined their plans
for adding the eight-rakes basin
to the primitive area and called
for comment of the local men.
Because Dr. Prill of Scio, a

forestry department plans, until
Salem and Albany men should
confer with him.
Chief points of discussion were
over excluding Pamella and Mar

boundaries. The forestry officials
promised to administer activities
about these lakes as nearly as
possible as if they were inside the

Republicans from various parts of
the state gathered here tonight

of the 16th president of the Unit

pastor of the first Baptist chnrch

speaker.
The need today, he said, is for
the statesmanship and courage
and divine guidance shown by
Lincoln.
The history of the republican
party, W. Lair Thompson, Pert-
lland attorney, said, really begins
