ed on the grounds of efficiency

' The committee based its recom
mendation for further study on
the lack of sufficient funds to
complete the investigation. "This

ed to Imply any criticism of any

the committee asserted.

Lieutenant Governor Plan Approved
By Committee When Relolution Gets
Attention; Partisan Angle 1$ Seen
Approval of a house joint res
olution providing for the submis
sion to the people of a constitu
tional amendment to create the
position of I lieutenant-governor
was given- by the house resolu
tion committee yesterday by a
three to two vote. 'No minority
report is to be submitted. - '
-Representative ! Alber opposed
on the measure on the grounds
that it had already. been submit
ted and been defeated.
"I think it is a good measure,"
he said.' "but I don't see the sense
of submitting these things time
and again to the, voters."
"Speaking on a party basis,
Representative i Leach declared.
I'll Is very Important to the dem
ocrats that we have this legisla
tion. We realize the position we
are In. I think it should be brought
out on the floor of the house."
Leach referred to the situation
by which the democrats, in case
of the disability of the governor,
would lose the control of the state
government by virtue of the fact
that Senator Franciscovich, presi
dent of the j senate, who 1 would
succeed to the state leadership, la
a republican.!
After amending H. J. M. 4 to
recommend to the state of Cali
fornia removal ! of "unreasonable
features" of its borderline inspec
tion rather than to suggest its
entire removal, the committee
voted approval. .

In the ltKW session 3,636 bills
were introduced.
D. 0. Hood, former budget di
rector, now representing Gianlnt's
Transamerlca corporation In buy

the branch banking hearing.
Courtesy of the senate was ex

Marion county may follow the
suit of several other counties by
requesting the present legislature
to permit county offices, or at

noon on Saturdays Instead of at
S p. m. Senator Douglas McKay
Is understood to be willing to
sponsor a bill to this effect. Should
the change be made the office
would ' remain open at the noon
hour during week days.
Smiling openly yesterday were
many senators and representatives
who had opposed the suggestion
of the governor that the legisla
ture should approve, without
question, his budget, pass no laws
and then go home. The million
dollar error j shows vividly the
dangers in "rubber stamp" poli
tics. It ia by i study, consideration
and consultation that the proper
kind of government Is evolved.

Schulmerich and Corrigan
Favor It; Hood Says
Move Now Futile j
Branch banking came In for
debate when the senate committee
cm banking considered the String
er bill repealing the law author
ising establishment -; of branch
banks. Sen. Stringer directed his
attack chiefly on Transamerlca
corporation which has recently

banks and now controls "the First
National bank of Portland, with
branches over the state.
Edward Schulmerich of Hills
boro and Matt Corrigan of Me
Mlnnville appeared in favor of
the repeal. Corrigan expressing
fear of political dominance by
powerful banks.
i D. O. Hood, Oregon agent for
Transamerlca, said the bill would
lock the barn after the horse was
stolen; and said that under it
Transamerlca could still buy in
dependent banks and operate
them as a chain but not as
branches. He expressed the be
lief that branch banks had served
si good purpose.
j E. B. McNaughton, president of
the First National organization,
spoke in favor of the system. D.
W. Eyret local manager for the
IT. S. National, read a letter from
his organization saying that they
considered branch banking sound.

house of from 30 to 3 ( members,
elected by districts according to
population, with no district hav
ing fewer than 14.000 people. In
counties with two or Inore mem
bers the cornty would be divided
Iftto separate districts. Members
Would bo elected on a non-parti
sin basis. The aggregate salaries
for the legislature would be f 60,-
000 per biennlum.
Bill Would Move

property control division of the
state government to the state pur
chasing department, will be .pro
vided: in a bill to be introduced
by the ways and means commit
tee. v ;
I The property control division
was created at the regular. 1935
legislature and has operated un
der the supervision of Clifford
Mudd. He previously was em'
ployed In the properly control di
