Amendment to Lower to $3
Voted in Committee,
- Bill is Held up v
Graduated ad Valorem tax
Added Instead of gas
Tax Increase, Plan
After amending tfca Dunne au
tomobile lleensa fee bill in com
mittee of the whole to provide a.
IS flat fee with an additional
graduated ad valorem tax, instead
of a S flat fee with one cent per
gallon tax on gasoline, the senate
Monday night recessed the com
mlttee until 10 o'clock this morn
ing without making final report.
- The amendment was offered by
Senator Allen after he had spoken
for more than 30 minutes in op
position to the bill reported out
by the roads and highways com
mlttee. The motion to go into a
committee of the whole carried by
a vote of If to 14, hut recess was
taken before the amendment for
mally had been injected into the
measure.
In addition to the annual $3
flat automobile license the Allen
amendment provides for an. ad va
lorem tax of two per cent of the
value of the motor vehicle.
The Allen amendment contain
ed several of the outstanding
features contained In his measure
which was introduced in the
bouse early in the session and
later laid on the table.
The committee bill was explain
ed by Senator Dunne, chairman of
the senate roads and highways
committee. He said the measure
had been given careful consider
ation and that it was not the idea
ef any one man.
Dunne said -the bill had been
so drafted that it would care for
the maintenance of the existing
highways, retire outstanding
bonds and interest, and defray
the administrative costs'.' Further
provision waa made whereby the
measure would return to the
counties approximately $1,800,
000 a year.
The measure was opposed by
Senator Spavldlng who said the
proposed S annual license fee
and additional one-cent gasoline
tax would increase rather than
reduce the cost of operating the
smaller machines. "This is not
the kind of a license reduction
the public has d e m a n d e d",
Spaulding said.
Spaulding charged extravagan
ces to the state highway commis
sion and referred particularly to
the maintenance of parks, cost of
road construction, and the eon
duct of its engineering depart
ment. PRESIDENT'S STAND

Based - on Fact Special
Election Unneeded -
The senate late Monday adopts
ed the Gouley; bill which calls for
a statewide rote and convention
on the proposition of continuing
or repealing the 18th amendment
to the United States constitution.
The measure differs from the Up
ton bill, defeated earlier in the
session, in the tact that a special
election is not called for, the mat
ter of selecting delegates to the
convention coming up at the next
general or special election held In
the state. Vote of the senators
was 18 ayes, 12 nays.
Members who switched their
position explained their votes en
the tact that the Gouley bill did
not Call for the expense of a spe
cial election. Proponents of the
bill contended it was only eqult
able, in light of recent congres
sional action, to permit the cUl
sens of Oregon a vote on the pro
hibition question. Opponents gen
erally argued that prohibition was
better than saloon days and that
no opportunity should be allowed
for the return of the legalized li
quor traffic.
- Those voting for the bill were
Brown, Bynon, Chinnock, Corbett,
Duncan, Dunne, Fisher, Francie-
covich, Ooss, Hazlett, Hess, Lee,
McFadden, Spaulding, Strayer,
Upton, Tates and Kiddle.

Appropriations 4 Millions
Under 1931 Figure by
Ways and Means
Though legislative appropria
tions from the general fund of
Oregon for 1933 and 1934 recom
mended by the ways and means
committee exceeded the budget
suggested by Governor Meier,
they were more than 94,000.000
smaller than the similar appro
priations made two years ago for
1931 and 1932, according to a re- j
port placed on legislators' desks
Monday.
The committee has approved
sums aggregating $5,564,256, as
against $9,755,048 for the previ
ous blennium. The governor had
approved appropriations of. $5,-
435,963, which was considerably
less than the aggregate require
ments recommended by Henry M.
Hansen, state budget director.
So-called non budget appro
priations recommended by the
Joint ways and means committee
for the current blennium totalled
$284,390. The largest of these ap
propriations was $150,000 for use
of the state emergency board. Any
money left In this fund at the ex
piration of the blennium win re
vert to the general fund. During
the past two years no money was
used by the state for emergency
purposes. -
The second largest non-budget
appropriation was $46,115 to pay
large number of miscellaneous
claims filed with the ways and
means committee.

WASHINGTON, March 7
(AP) Long hours of unremit

treasury last night brought a
broad relaxation in the Roosevelt
banking ban permitting the basks
to reopen for new business and
easing the credit strain for the
payment of payrolls and food
stuffs. Buttressed by public acclaim
for his drastic step to preserve
the nation's gold supply and pro
tect depositors from hoarders.
President Roosevelt and his aides
had when they retired virtually
reached a decision on a method
for establishing a temporary me
dium of exchange through certif
icates backed by sound bank as
sets. A tentative plan to establish a
state corporation In New York
authorised to issue scrip against
such assets and deliver It to cre
ditors and depositors on a prorata,
basis received treasury approval.
The treasury attached a reser
vation that should it announce a
national certificate program be
fore Wednesday morning that
state corporation proposal wouM
be laid aside. This national piam
awaited an early morning confer
ence.
Mr. Roosevelt turned to th
drafting of his emergency legis
lative program to be presented to
