So; Many Large Issues
Still Facing Solons
Relief Rushed; Liquor and
Taxes, Appropriations
Not Yet Wound up
By SHELDON F. SACKETT
"It is to be devoutly wished
for that the legislature will pass
Us appropriation bills and go
home."
This statement which might be
ascribed to Mr. Average Citizen
comes from Governor Charles H.
Martin. It was made yesterday.
Wearied by seven hard weeks
In the legislative mill, a, majority
of house and senate 'members
were willing to concur in the gov
ernor's view and to halt further
deliberations.
The most optimistic legislators
nevertheless saw no hope of ad
journing In less than a week.
Some of the leaders predicted
that ten days to a fortnight would
be required to clean the calendars
and call a halt to law-making.
Relief Bills Rushed;
Other Issnes Impend
If appropriations were the sole
remaining task of this session,
early adjournment would be very
feasible. Scared by Washington's
crackdown methods in withhold
ing March relief funds, the ses
sion went Into high gear the last
two days and crowded along its
relief appropriations aggregating
$6,000.ft00. As a result the three
bills embodying the state's re
lief program will repose on the
governor's desk by tomorrow
night. They will be closely fol
lowed by the regular 1935-1936
state expenditure, appropriation
bills, a score of which are already
in or though the house. j
However, a half dozen other
measures, considered major, must
be brought to some conclusion be
fore quitting time comes.
First, there is the job of re
vising the Knox act. The house
has given its assent to the chan
ges of its alcoholic control com
mittee but the senate committee
is going over the revisions, point
by point, and conferences be
tween the two houses will proba
bly be needed this week to push
the amendatory bill through. The
revenue bill accompanying the
Knox act changes, slumbers in
committee, and invites a fight
with its provisions for higher tax
es on wines and beer.
The legislature has the prob
lem of buses and trucks undispos
ed of. For the pabt week the
house committee on highways and
highway revenues has been hold
ing executive sessions, face-lift
ing the truck act of the second
special 1933 session. Last night it
had not completed its draft of
amendments which will come it
as a substitute bill for ihe three
other ruck bills Introduced into
the house.

Law Enforcement
Making 211 arrests for traf

made during all of 1934 while
the number of accidents contin

yesterday by Sergeant Asa Fish

Exactly 395 traffic arrests were
made during January and Feb

were reported in the city during
February of which 14 resulted in
injuries. There were no fatal ac

ARREST
SET NEW RECORD
Word Reaches Martin
Late Saturday of
5950,000 Grant ?
Legislature Speeding
Action on Pension,
Direct Aid Bill
Oregon's work relief program
for March was resuscitated late
yesterday after a complete col
lapse, -when Governor Charles H.
Martin received word from fed
eral emergency relief officials that
the state had been al'ccated $950.-
000 in funds for the month, halt'
of the money being made avail
able at once and the remaining
$475,000 made available March
15. An addition $74,000 is to be
provided for transient relief.
The news came two hours after
the governor had telegraphed
Washington that the Oregon leg
islature had enacted a measure
setting aside $4,500,000 of an
ticipated liquor revenues to be
used for emergency relief purpos
es during the coming two years.
The governor also informed Wash
ington that 52,000,000 additional
for old-age pensions and for the
aid of unem'ployable persons
would undoubtedly be provided In
legislation to be enacted tomor
row. "On this" assurance I request
you to releasrtfsimmediately gov
ernment relief funds," read tfce
executive's message.
Two hours later Washington's
authorization lay on Governor
