BIG JOB STILL' FKS0L15 Session's Final Week' Will See Bills Railroaded, Others Let Die ' (CoatiaMd from pc ' Hot later, than Wednesday morfiL ing. A divided report from that committee is expected and the main debate will. probably come -Wednesday on this report.' ; , Tie' senate Is 'expected to op ioid the Knox bill unless all rore casts fall. Tbe 'dry"- groupwhich leld fast la the 19 S3 regular sear slon against beer legislation Is al most solidly behind the Knox bill. Alligned with it are a number of anti-prohibition senators who believe- the .Knox plan the best of fered for state control of. hard liquor. Estimates on the senate ote range from 13 to 22 rotes aye on the Knox measure Some amendments may be agreed up :cn, principally -relating to the state's financial control of the moneys advanced the-liquor com mission. Senator John : Goss of Coos county will fight strenuously, he announced Satutday. against sen ate approval of the. Knox plan; He favors letting druggists and lint Ala -handle the sale, of hard liquor, 'the latter limited to sale. with meals. -' r T Relief for Unemployment I Both houses Eeem substantially fn agreement that the state should appropriate $3,000,000 for relief ont of the first net profits -on liquor's sale. The bill, introduc ed by the house unemployment re lief committee, was up for passage Thursday but went back to com mittee for reconsideration of the exact method the state-would use in Issuing certificates against these revenues, in order to satis fy the. demands of the federal re lief, administrator. . . . A i legal question has been raised by Representative Paget on the constitutionality of the -legislature ' creating a de b t against these anticipated liquor Tevennes. The " attorney-general's office has opined that the relief bill's proposal is constitutional. ' The bill will be smoothed, out to the general satisfaction of the legal fraternity - and scooted through both houses. The 90 members are In substantial agreement that $3,000,000 In re lief funds should be appropriated by the state, that liquor offers the best means of getting the money and that no other funds will probably be touched. In addition' to profits on hard liquors, the state will probably pledge the receipts anticipates from a tax on wines and beers, a tax which did not carry at the 1933. session. This tax will come Into the house hopper early next 'week. Because the measure, if passed, cannot become law for 90 days days' It will sol be expected to- produce revenue as rapidly as the sU.te'8 operations of the an ticipated llquo: store setup. Truck and Bus Control The house highways committee headed by Representative George Winslow is in esssntial agree ment on the amendments it pro poses to the truck and bus law enacted in the regular session. The committee nude its report to the lower house Saturday. The v ill uiaj uo uji lUi ucuaio auu final passage Monday. Some min or amendments are being drawn by Attorney. J. M. Devers of the highway commission. Willie the amendments modify many of the 1933 law's provi sions relating to bonds, insurance and other details required of con tract haulers, the mileage and license fees remain unchanged. Representatives, of - the con tract - haulers declare the com mittee has not afforded them a decent bearing on these two pro visions which they claim are the meat of the entire bus and truck legislation. These carriers . wish the mileage fee eliminated and a ; flat license fee 'charged based: on the tonnage carried by the li censed truck. -While the lobby, sentiment against ; the bill is strong -and well-organized the truck and bus bill is t so complicated and so' much debated. Jt. .is.. quite. . likely the house and later the senate -will accept the work of its roads ' and highways committees which have corroborated exten sively In drawing up the amenda tory bill. ' - -r ' . debate will be extended next week; but by Friday night the bus and truck legislation 'will prob ably have v gone through both houses with the existing mileage and license charges unchanged.

Byaen has atchitect drawlngr?TahahJavr on tha proposed changes. ;- v & h-? The $15,000.00 highway con structlon- project, recommended by . Governor Sleief, Is 'sleeping war in committee. Legislators are hesifait to approve the meas ure and to recommend that $10.- 500,000 'general obligation bond Issue whlcb would be necessitat ed; l ' To approve the project and to provide for repaying the lea eral advances out of revenues from the highways does not seem feasible to the legislature. iPower Development Project :The several projects proposed In bills in the house are so large, in volve so mnch money and so great ly anticipate federal development ef the Bonneville?dam that it is entirely . unlikely that either the house or the senate will come to a decision on the bills before the forthcoming week ends. ''Members generally express the opinion that. the bills, while ap proved by the governor in prin ciple, are not pressing legislation and involve entirely too weighty matters to be decided upon hur riedly. Tax Delinquency vFonr to six measures are before committees la the two houses dealing with tax collection. Two at least make payment easier than the present law. One bill, fathered by Representative McAlear, hikes interest on back taxes to one per cent a month and allows a two per cent discount to taxpayers who pay realty levies when due. Outside the assembly a group of interested citizens are working to get a stiffer law than sow pre vails, through. There is no spon taneity of legislative sentiment for adding' to' the load of .delinquent taxpayers through heavier penal ties and more interest. It seema likely that the law passed in 1933 and effective Janu ary 1, 1934, will stand. This raises the interest on back taxes to 10 per cent by this method: A two per cent discount is allowed for payment when due and eight per eent is charged on back taxes. Quarterly payment is permitted under this law.
