Ways and Means Committee
Receives Letter From
State Treasurer
Group Checks up, Finds its
Figures $30,000 Above
Meier's .Estimate
Rufas Holman, state treasur
er, In a letter to the ways and
means committee of the legisla
ture Thursday night charged that
William Einiig, secretary of the
board of control, had padded his
payroll and otherwise misrepre
sented bis biennial budget to the
committee.
The letter also alleged there
were sereral persons on the pay
roll who were not necessary in
carrying on the work of the
board of control office.
The letter was referred to a
sub-committee for investigation.
The Joint ways and means com
mittee took stock Thursday night
and found its legislative appro
priations to date had exceeded by
130,000 the appropriations ap
proved in the budget by Gover
nor Meier. There were Indications
that other substantial Increases
would be made before the com
mittee ends Its work.
No action waa taken on a re
port filed by a subcommittee re
commending adversely on the
proposal to take approximately
$672,000 from the state highway
department and divert it to the
general fund. The report was
signed by Senators Dunn and
Hess and Representative Snider.
Representative Snider declared
that the funds of the state high
way commission had been reduc
ed to their lowest level in many
years and that with the proposal
to reduce motor vehicle license
fees It would not be possible to
assess the proposed "service
charge" against the department.
Charles T. Early, chairman of
the state industrial accident com
mission, appeared ..hefore. the
committee and urged the passage
of a senate bill appropriating
$200,000 to take care of the ad
ministrative costs of the depart
ment. Early said the funds of the
commission had been depleted as
a result of the financial depres
sion, and that state assistance
was necessary.
An appropriation of $18,052
was authorised for the state child
welfare commission. This is a re
duction of $6272 under the
amount approved by Governor
Meier.
A request for an appropriation
of $500,000 for the World war
veterans state aid commission, in
lieu of the waiver of the one-half
mill tax for that department for
the year 1933, was referred back
to a committee of legionnaires
with the suggestion that he pro
posal be submitted to the com
mittee on assessment and taxa
tion. The one-half mill tax raised
approximately $500,000 annually
prior to 1932, when It was elim
inated from the levy by the state
tax commission.
The committee reported favor
ably on four house bills providing
that the state corporation com
mission, state Insurance commis
sion and state fire marshal shall
be placed on a budget basis. These
departments are now self-eup-portingy
and their expenditures
are limited only by the amount of
their revenues.
The committee acted favorably
wn a resolution presented by Sen
ator Staples directing the govern
or to appoint a committee of 15
persons to conduct a study of the
need of a psychrlatic hospital in
Oregon.
The appropriation for the state
board of health was Increased to
approximately $34,000.
A proposal that the new salary
reduction schedule of the ways
and means committee ranging
from five to 30 per cent be ap
plied to the salary budget of the
higher educational Institutions in
stead of the Woodward salary re
duction ranging from five to 50
per cent, probably will be present
ed to the committee tomorrow
night.
TUCUMCARI, N. M.. Feb. 18-

Life ebbed slowly from the fire-
scarred body of the homesteader

him, bound him helplessly and set
him afire. Physicians said there
Is little hope he can recover and
If he does he probably will be a
cripple for life.

SHU WHEEL
MEASURE GAINS
HOUSE SUPPORT
Passed 42 to 18; Winslow
Wins Elimination of
Emergency Clause
Astoria Interests Lose in
Perennial Battle With
The Dalles Group
The house voted late Thursday
for a bill which permit the re
opening of the Columbia river at
The Dalles to fish wheels, a type
of fishing banned in 1926 rote by
a large majority of the voters of
the state at a general election.
The reopening measure carried
42 to 18.
Representative Winslow lead a
clever fight before the house to
have the emergency clause strick
en from the bill. Unable to de
feat the majority committee re
port which favored the bill's pas
sage, Winslow moved the house
resolve itself Into a committee of
whole to amend the bill and his
motion prevailed, S2 to 28. The
minority report had previously
been defeated, 21 representatives
voting aye to 31 voting no.
Once in the committee ef the
whle, Representative Lonergan,
a reponent of the bill, was quick
to admit Wlnslow's position on
the emergency clause and it was
on Lonergan's motion that the
eommlttee struck out the emer
gency clause and later reported
the bill out to the house. The
house rules were Immediately sus
pended and the bill was passed.
Debate on the fish wheel bill
consumed the entire afternoon in
the house. Representative Judd of
Astoria took the lead in oonosinz
the measure, declaring it was the
most vicious piece of legislation

Representative Chrisman' and
Wyers and other eastern Oregon
and upper-Columbia delegates
spoke strongly for the bill. They
claimed u would revive a lara-in
industry at The Dalles, would not
aestroy fishing at the month of
tne Columbia and would restore

Representative Lonergan loined
the eastern Oregon men in their
support of the measure. He con
tended the bill worked no undue

fishing interests lnasmnch as
there were sufficient fish left or
artificially propagated for all re-
placement needs. Lonergan con-
tended it was futile for Oreron to

Representative Abrams said he
opposed the bill because It would

By an astonishing majority the
senate today voted to kill the 18th
amendment and sent a repeal res
olution to the house where lead
ers confidently looked forward to
approval no later than Monday.
Moving with a ipeed and force
that was unforeseen even as re
cently as yesterday, anti-prohibitionists
smashed dry lines apart
to push the repealer through the
senate by a t3-to-23 vote five
more than the two-thirds neces
sary.
It provides for submission to
state conventions for ratification
instead of to the legislatures and
would protect dry states from
liquor Importations. Another ar
ticle which would have placed a
constitutional ban on the return
of the saloon was brushed aside as
the senate rushed forward toward
its historic vote after IS years of
prohibition.

promised action Monday tinder
suspension of the rules.

With both houses yesterday
bogged down by the extended de
bates on major bills, night ses

minutes a speaker.
The Introduction of bills in both
houses hag practically ceased aside

continued to pour into the lower

for more than 84,000,000 came

WASHINGTON. Feb. 16 (AP)
Circulation of money in the
United States reached the high-
est point on record for the week
ended February 15. The federal
reserve board reported today It
amounted to an aggregate of $5.-
854.000.000.
The increase during the last
week amounted to $149,000,000
and in the last year to $245,000,-
000. The previous high record
was established last July when
the circulation amounted to $5,-
775,000,000.
The Increase was attributed at
the treasury to various reasons.
In normal times a sensational In-
crease of currency is always ex-
perlenced in the middle of Febru-
arr and In addition to this manv
banks are holding a large nart of
the over-supply of currency In
their vaults to meet emergencies
that might arise.
The increase, officials said, also
might be attributed In some de-
gree to the bank holiday In the
Detroit district and the drawing
of currency out of postal savings
accounts and other places where
it could be obtained.

SEATTLE, Feb. 18. (AP) A

of "left wing" of the Unemployed
Cltlsens League of King County,
a crowd of several hundred par
aded to the headquarters of the
King county welfare board, sing
ing and shouting their demands.
They wanted: 1. Abandonment
of the new system whereby appli

2. Return of the old King county
