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.

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

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

''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.
