'for his holidays. For him to make
a 100-mile trip on the road will
cost him 1 4 for tolls alone."
"Ia Oregon going to bottle up
Its great Investment in the Coast
mgnwayi uoss querieu. is tae
state going to curtail its great
tourist business by charging an
admission to its finest highway:
one of the most magnificent roads
in the entire world?"
The senator pleaded for free
ing the bridges from tolls as a
policy benefitting the, entire state.
He charged that opponents of the
measures were Bectional in their
riews. "Eastern Oregon should
hare its highways developed but
they will get this development
whether or not the coast country
gets its free bridges," Goss ar
gued. He pledged his full sup
port to the development of the
eastern Oregon road system.
The time Is premature for tak
ing the tolls off the coast bridges,"
contended Senator Wallace. "Let
the tolls go on; several of the
bridges will not be in use until
another session convenes; then
the ' legislature can determine
whether or not tolls should be
continued."
Senator Wallace declared the
coast country had received far
more than its proportion of state
highway returns. He said that the
John Day, the Fremont and the
Central Oregon highways had re
ceived less than one-halt the sum
since 1917 of the amount expend
ed on the Oregon Coast highway
since 1920.
Breach of Faith is
Charged by Wallace
Senator Wallace said the coast
country had broken faith with the
state In coming to the legislature
two years before, pledging itself
to toll bridges and seeking now
to go back on its pledge.
"I don't want to see tolls con
tinued forever; I admit toll brid
ges are obnoxious, but I think they
should be Imposed until the state
can afford the extra cost, absorb
ing the cost of servicing the bonds
will entail," Wallace asserted.
Senator Stringer of Linn coun
ty opposed removal of the tolls,
saying such action constituted a
breach of faith on the part of the
coast country.
Senator Spaulding said the
state highway commission had
120.000,000 to spend in the next
year and could readily absorb the
small additional charge called for
by. removal of the tolls. Senator
Burke Joined with Spaulding, es
timating that only $50,000 was
the net annual difference between
toll and free bridges after credit
ing the bridge bonds with $175,
000 now spent for ferries and
1301,000 which Burke estimated
as the charge of collecting the
tolls each year.
Senator Goss, replying to Sen
ator Wallace, denied that the

AT LEAST two of the house
"youngsters" are being talk
ed for speaker at the next
session. One is Moore Hamilton.
Medford newspaperman, who has
proven a capable, careful and
conscientious bouse member. An
other is "Bill" Knight who comes
from Roseb'urg where he practices
law with Guy Cordon. Hamilton
is a democrat; Knight a republi
can. Hamilton's friends said last
night they had seven to ten votes
already pledged.
Unless the democrats seat a
majority In the senate next ses
sion,. Senator Frank Francisco
vich has the inner track for
president of the upper house
in '37. He has a block of votes
already pledged and three to
four senators who will Join his
forces after a little thought. If
the democrat! should take the
senate majority, the veteran
"Bill" Strayer would probably
seek and win the senate presi
dency. He very neatly gave
away all support he could have
received this itession to keep his
pledge with Harry Corbett.
The classic of the session for
Irregular parliamentary procedure
came before the house yesterday.
After the voto was taken on a
house bill to permit Issuance of
state highwiy bonds, Speaker
Cooter delayed announcement of
the vote. He conferred with Dave
Drager, house clerk, and found
the measure had failed to receive
the constitutional majority. From
the chair, Cooter asked some
member to demand a call of the
house. Meanwhile Representative
H o s c h had jumped up to rap
coast county representatives for
not voting for the bill. While
Cooter was struggling with his
book of procelure to determine
whether a call of the house was
coast delegation had ever made a
contract that the bridges be con
tinued as toll structures. He said
the only contract drawn was one
between the state highway depart
ment and PWA. Goss asserted
that PWA insbited that the brid
ges contain the toll-provision be
cause in 1933 the state lacked
other revenues with which to
guarantee the amortization of the
-bridge bonds. The state has re
ceived $1,000,000 additional high
way income tht last year and can
readily absorb the extra service
on the bonds, (loss averred.
Queries will be sent to Oregon
congressmen today to learn de
finite status to date- of the bill
to make hops a basic commodity,
a move taken in connection with
the hop marketing agreement.
Copy of a letter sent out by the
United States Brewers' association
indicating that the basic commod
ity hill has been Introduced in the
house was passed to local leaders
in the hop code movement. How
ever, the List word here ot the
basic commodity bill was that it
had been approved by the secre
tary of agriculture and adminis
trator of tte budget and was by
them referred back to the house
committee on agriculture and for
estry preliminary to presentation
for third reading and passage.
Congressmen who have kept lo
cal dealers and growers advised
in the matter have sent no word
that the bill has passed the sen
ate, so definite status will be ask
ed in the queries today.

Richberg said he would not
write into the law which indus
tries should be regulated and
which should not, but would draw
the line by a definition of inter
state commerce that would "stand
up" in the courts.
He submitted a list of 17 ser
vice trade codes, covering about
3,000,000 employes, which he said
had brought most of the enforce
ment difficulties. He added, how
ever, that these groups included
some of the worst employment
conditions.
The bigger Industries in the
list were barber shops, laundries,
cleaning and dyeing, hotels and
restaurants, motor vehicle stor
age, advertising, bowling and bil
liards, real estate, brokerage and
beauty shops.
Richberg agreed it was "going
pretty far" to include hotels, bar

codes.

Gasoline Refund
For Portland Is
Finally Favored
The house late yesterday re
considered and passed Senate Bill
194, by Senator Duncan, author
ising refund of gasoline taxes to
the city of Portland. The refund
would apply only to gasoline used
In city-owned and city-operated
vehicles. This bill was twice de
feated in the house.
The house also reconsidered
Senate Bill 314, by Senator Mc
Kay, to provide for safety glass

will be on the house calendar today.

Without opposing vote, the
house yesterday quickly adopted
a memorial declaring it to be the
policy of Oregon that the federal
government should reimburse
Oregon counties for taxes which
may be lost through purchase of
privately-owned timber lands in
the state.
The memorial was the last
move on the part of the associa
tion of county Judges and com
missioners to obtain legislative
recognition ot their position that
counties must be compensated for
tax losses they will inevitably suf
fer if the government engages in a
widespread program of purchas
ing timber.
Monday they had been defeat
ed in the house through the in
tervention of the governor who
insisted Senate Bill 189 go
through without the compensa
tory tax clause.
The governor yesterday signed
the controversial Senate Bill 189.

T
E,
Passage of the timber acquisi
tion measure without the tax fea
tures will seriously affect Marion
county, not only directly but Indi
rectly, County Commissioner Hew
lett said yesterday.
: While private owners will sell
timber here with a consequent
severance tax to the county when
the timber Is cut, this means lit
tle to the county, for the timber
may not be cut for years, he point
ed out.
In addition, some Oregon coun
ties will be so hard hit by lack
of taxes from timber, that they
will not be able to meet their
share of state taxes, which means
that the state demands will be
proportioned among the other
counties. Marion county will have
to share in this heavier state load,
he indicated, as well as losing a
sizeable tax from timber

New Statehouse Not Needed
Ahead of Institution
Betterment, Held
A resolution which would have
authorised a vote on a Constitu
tional amendment for Oregon, em
powering the state to borrow mon
eys for a new statehouse was
soundly defeated yesterday in the
house.
Representative Barnes declared
that the legislature should first
appropriate funds with which to
enlarge the Oregon state hospital
and other state institutions.
"We are comfortable," Barnes
said, "and there is no valid rea
son why the state should erect a
new statehouse at this time."
Representative Nelson replied
that he had suffered with a cold
ever since he arrived in Salem due
to the flimsy construction of the
statehouse.
' Tou can look through the
walls of this building and see the
squirrels running outside," Nel
son continued.
. Representative Norblad said
the same was true of the squir
rels which could look through the
cracks and see the nuts running
around inside.
The house approved a senate
memorial, by the committee on
resolutions, petitioning congress
to enact legislation to provide for
federal construction ot transmis
sion lines from Bonneville.
Approval also was given a sen

on education, providing for the

NOT RECONSIDERED
An unsuccessful effort was
made in the house yesterday to
recall Senate Bills 178 and 179,
relating to deficiency Judgments,
from the committee on adminis

Representative Angell charged
that these bills passed the sen
ate more than a month ago but
had since been buffeted about the
house without any definite action
being taken.
"It is my opinion," Angell said,
"that there is a move on foot to
smother these measures in com

plied that consideration of these
hills had been delayed because of
requests for public hearings.
He promised action of the mea
sures not later than today.
FAKE

Over the protests of Represen
tative Clint Haight who said the

members yesterday approved a
measure making it a misdemeanor
to send fake telegrams or letters
to a legislator in an attempt to
influence his vote.
Representative Hyde of Lane
county and Representative Erwin
of Multnomah county both spoke
for the bill, saying they had been
misled during this session by mes
sages from alleged constituents
who were found to be "fake" per
sons upon investigation.
Representative Honeyman, ex
plaining her no vote, said it was
useless to clutter up the statute
books with such legislation.
