Hall of Multnomah county opened the house debate on the Knox liquor control bill, moving that the min ority report be substituted for the majority report. Hall held that the sale of li quors up to 22 per cent of volume of alcoholic content should be ex tended to hotels and restaurants. ."Under the Knox plan, speakeas ies will flourish," Hall pounded . ftnm. mm tia o-m n i l 9A.mlnntii - speech. Hall pointed to the cheap ening; oZ beer as proof positive. ; that Illicit sale of a beverage ceas es when It is made legally and easily accessible. I Mesa Saloon Return ; Tlwi Multnomah ranraaentativa aald his proposal would not mean a return of the saloon. "If selling, of liquor np to 14 per cent content Is allowed the hotels but not that np to 22 per cent content, they would, be just as much saloons one way as the other," Hall point ed out. Hall gave a graphical descrip tion of alleged speakeasies in Portland. He said the speakeasy for the white-collar class was on Broadway street and was called Nettleton'a. He I then described this business as well as downtown "dives" where" "ex-convicts" and pugilistic guards handled the il licit traffic. He said women were I used- as adjuncts to the business I and that many girls started the road to immorality in these Port land speakeasies now flourishing! I under the jack of police action I jn the. metropolis. : ' Hall opposed the majority re port as a restoration of prohibi tion, the latter condition being one .opposed by popular vote, the speaker declared. ; "I don't claim my plan is per fect r it is Bomethlnr new. it must , be tried. If we try this system and j it fails we can amend It in 1935," HaM averred. : Representative John Beckman, member of the Knox commission opened his remarks by a 'vigorous attack on a statement made by Dr. Knoa in a- Portland newspaper wherein the doctor is said to have declared Beckman had hrnlran v faith with the people of Oregon in . advocating that hotels be allowed " to sell hard liquor. .

The first speech for the major ity report was made by Represen tative Johnson of Washington county. He said he personally did not object to sale of 22 per cent content liquor by hotels and res taurants but had signed the ma jority report because his constit uents favored it. Later In the de bate Hall attacked Johnson for this stand, saying he should not be a rubber stamp. "Hasn't he enough stamina to voice his opin ion and to vote as he thinks the best jinterest of the state can be seTVtfd," Hall asked. Representative Estes Snedecor made a well-considered and care ful statement of support for the majority report. He commended b ot h Representative Beckman and Dr. Knox, saying he thought neither man was guilty ot a breach of faith. Snedecor held the repeal ot the ISth amendment was not brought about by the "wringing wets" but by former dries who reluctantly came to the opinion that complete prohibition had failed. He con tended the Knox plan offered a fair compromise between the ex treme dries and the wets. Representative Tennis J. Wy ers of Hood River spoke defend ing the majority report. He con tended that permission to hotels to sell mixed drinks with alco holic content up to 22 per cent paved the way for open drinking. Wyers averred people did not get drunk on winei and beers. He held regulation of major hotels might be feasible but averred that the acceptance of the minor ity report would make it possible for "dumps and dives" to 'spring up in smaller hotels in Portland and on the upstate. Wyers said the special session should avoid letting any group get a vested interest in liquor's sale and thus make future amend ment extremely difficult. Milk BUI Draws Large Crowd to Senate Hearing Fifty or more persons inter ested in the Oregon milk indus try appeared before the senate agricultural committee Friday aft ernoon to discuss Senator Ire land's bill providing for the cre ation of a milk control commis sion. Proponents of the measure de clared that It would stabilise the milk industry, increase prices, provide for the disposal of sur plus milk and place- the milk in dustry in a position to seek fed eral assistance. Members of she committee said they hoped to report the bill oat some time today. crrr hall loan asked The Multnomah county delega tion of the two houses Friday re ported out favorably a bill author izing a federal loan of $150,000 with which to remodel and en large the city hall in Portland. Thirty per cent ot the funds nec essary for the - improvements would be obtained as a direct grant while the remaining 70 per cent would be borrowed from the federal, public works administra tion. - - The story Winehell kept in his heart and out of his col umns until the screen could tell j it for him. . , r-' Over Mickey Mouse NOTES For fire years I've been around the Mickey Mouse' club at the El sinore, and it's always been said that Pauline Zoe Chambers is the most novel juvenile entertainer that ever appeared on this stage. But I can say not basing my word on my own opinion, but on opin ions of many show folk that have stopped in Salem and have viewed Pauline entertain, that she is the best ever for her age, and the word ever covers a great deal of territory. Not alone in any one verse does she stand out, but equally well she sings, taps, toe dances, waltz es, clogs, and does acrobatic danc ing. Pauline is a pupil of Miss Barnes, who Quickly saw her tal ents, and taught her to express them. Dealing with juvenile talent I have seen many of them get "swell headed'' because they were able to exce their playmates, but I can easily and thankfully say that Pauline can wear the small slxe hats. I would never have written these few words of praise if I thought for one in stant that it would make her con ceited, because as a trooper Paul ine is made ot the best staff. m. m. a.

BILLS 100116 IIP At least two more bills dealing with the regulation and taxation of liquor's sale In Oregon are ex pected from the house alcoholic committee within the next three days. One measure will prevent pri vate interests from obtaining a proprietary interest in hard liqu or between the time the bill be comes law and. the time the Knox control plan becomes operative. A similar measure is being urged upon the Washington legislature by Got amor Clarence Martin. - A second measure will impose a atate tax on all wines and beers.' This measure may also deal with further control over out-of-dty roadhouses where beer is now be ing SOld. , .

JUNE CLYDE MroNITE PREVIEW TONITE 11:15 10c Joan Crawford IwOMOB ELI von B m Highway Board is-Permitted To Purchase in Cities Less Than 100,000 The senate, by a vote ot 17 to 12, Friday appravd a bill intro duced by the roads and highways committee authorising, the? state highway . commission to acquire rights-of-way fn. any incorporated town or city in. the state-having. a population of less than 100,000. The rights-of-way would be ac quired either through ; purchase, gift or condemnation. Members of the Multnomah county delegation attacked the measure on the ground that the city ot Portland had been exclud- ea xrom ua provisions. . Senator Dunne declared that the bill was not in keeping with fair play, and it enacted into law would pennl of a raid on the funds of the state highway com mission - This assertion was denied bv Senator Goss who said the - pro visions of the measure were - dis cretionary and not mandatory. "There was never any .thought that this bill would open the way for a raid on the state highway funds," Goss continued Unton renlled that the meaiinrA was intended to assist the smaller cities and towns of the state which are unable to provide rights-of-way under the existing laws. "When there is a cnanra to be made in the route of a highway through the smaller towns it will be recommended by the state highway department en gineers and will not be brought about through the influence of their citizens," Upton declared. UDton took occasion to laud Leslie M. Scott, chairman of the state . Highway commission, for itituda he had dianlajred In nrn. tectimr the interests of the small communities. Senator Corhett aald ha connM. ered it unwise and nnlnst to ah- act a law which would restrict the judgment of the state highway commissioners. Corhett denied that the city of Portland had at. tempted to raid the state highway' iuna and poined out that two members of the hirhwav com mis. slon reside outside of Multnomah county. Senator Etraver said the ulti mate result Of the hfll over a nor. lod Of Tears would ha to maVa It provisions mandatory rather than discretionary. Dickson made a futile effort to have the bill rereferred to the roaoa and Highway committee with Instruction to eliminate that provision' excluding the citv of Portland. i A senate joint resolution h Upton authorising the state to as sume the debts of counties result ing from highway construction was defeated by a vote of 20 to 10. Upton explained that this reso lution merelr would mat it noa. sible for the legislature to pro vide a metnod whereby county highway obligations could be as sumed by the state. Senator Dunne branded this resolution as r'pork barrel" leg- slation and declared that it ap proval by the voters would put an end to highway construction la uregon. "There are now 125,- 000,000 of hlghwav bonds obllrat- ed by Oregon connties which would be subject to liquidation oy me state under this resolu tion," Dunne continued. "If you want to destroy the state high way program you should approve this resolution."

Coming early, she missed Representative Hil ton's excoriation of The Ore goaian, for whteh Miss Not aoa'a father pounds the type writer. The lady is blue-eyed, blond-haired and has a smiling urien, greatly resembling her mother. One reason for the visit waa the knowledge that Papa was to address the Salem Ad clnb: which he did Friday noon and with ability. In his prepaternal days Mr. Kotson debated for Willamette univer sity; the forensic strain runs in the family, S. E. Xotsoa, grandparent of the newest Not ion being district attorney at Heppner. Incidentally Notaom, Sr., avoided a murder trial yesterday when the second vie time of a knife-fight over a Heppner woman went on to stand trial before St. Peter. The chubby-faced and smiling fellow from Portland who took the press gallery chair yesterday was Joseph K. Carson, neophyte Portland mayor. He enjoyed the Knox debate immensely, perhaps because he did not arrive early enough to hear Representative Hall tell how overrun with speak easies is the mayor's hallliwick.

State's Levy Is in Excess Of Estimate Members of the Marion county court Friday were faced with the nrospect of altering the 1334 budget, approved several days ago. to permit the payment ot sis, 397 in added state taxes. Notification was received by the county officials yesterday from the state tax commission that the 1934 assessment for Marion county would aggregate $260,397.04, of which 198,735.61 la for elementary teachers' two mill tax and 1161,661.43 for the general state tax. The county budget, a approv ed included an item of 1145.000 for the state tax payment. Last vear the elementary state tax amounted to 1101,467.24 and the general state tax' to the $145,000 figure allowed in the 1934 duo get. Two methods of satisfying the increased claim may be taken by the county court.) Either the tar budget be corrected to include the additional state assessment or the tax be paid out of the road fund surplus. The state tax was paid out ot this fund on one other oc casion, it was pointed out and this plan la believed to be the one fav ored by the court. Members of the budget commit tee will be contacted before the court acts upon the matter, it was reported yesterday.
