With only one dissenting vote
the house passed and sent to the
senate a measure to provide free

treatment of syphilis to all who
apply to private physicians or
the state board of health.
With 441 Other St a ten
The bill would put Oregon in
line with 46 other states which
now provide the service.
Rep. A. Rennie R-Benton)
roted against the bill.
Rep. J. F. Hosch (D-Deschutes)
chairman of the house medicine
committee, said the only opposi
tion to the bill was from private
laboratories. He said blood tests
for syphilis were a very small
part of the laboratories' work.
"The welfare of the people
i ranch more Important,"
Hosch mII, "than a few ttmail
fee for a few Kmall labs
Hosch said the state board of
health can make the blood tests
for six cents, while the private
laboratories charge $2.50.
The house, also passed a bill
which would limit examinations
"teachers must take to tuberculosis
tests. The Mil now goes to the
senate.
Rep. Lyle D. Thomas (R-Polk)
said teachers are now willing to
take complete examinations, but
that the present law is unwork
able. The present law, he said.
Is open to wide interpretation so
that some doctors give "per
functory" examinations while
others are so thorough that some
teachers are required to pay "as
high as $7" for examinations.
State Measure Pasoed
A measure which would change
the, assessment date from March
1 to January 1 and change the
meeting of the state board of
equalisation from September 1
to May 1 was passed by the house
and sent to the senate.
Rep. James A. Rodman (R
Lane) said that under the bill,
which would become effective in
.lit J If passed, attachments of
liens would be made In the same
year the property is assessed.
The measure also contains a
provision, he said, relieving per
ishable goods of assessments pro
Tided they are disposed of or
sent out of the state by April 1
or each rear. He said that Oregon
farmers had been at a disadvan
tage In competition with Washing
ton farm products where-a simi
lar provision has been In force.
With little flarry the house
pawed a Mil to prohibit adver
tislng of fixed prices by optom
etrists a ad la creasing' educa
tional reqalremeats of the pro
fession from two tc four years. '
A similar but more inclusive
bill was bitterly contested last

Compulsory Health Insurancce Gets
Hearing Before House Committee
Compulsory health insurance was advocated as the cure
for an "appalling toll of physical disability" in Oregon and
the United States last night before the house medicine, den
tistry and pharmacy committee.
The committee has before it Rep. J. F. Hosch's bill for
compulsory health insurance to cover all workers earning less
than $1600 annually.
There were only two opposition
speakers. William Kirk, an offi
cial of a Portland hospital associa
tion, said the bill would probably
drive private hospital associations
out of business if passed.
Monroe Sweetland, executive
secretary of the Oregon Com
monwealth federation, said that
a 1 031 report of President Hoo
ver's committee on cotUa of med
ical care bad tbown the United
States to have the poorest
health average of any industrial
nation, but that "we still have
not been Jolted into dolus; any
thing substantial in the field of
public health."
Only 13 counties In Oregon
have full time county doctors, he
said, and large areas of the state
are remote from hospital service.
Sweetland aald the measure
would cover 183,000 wage earn
ers in Oregon.
Douglas Anderson, Portland, in
ternational representative of the
Textile Workers' union, said the
measure would not break down
the relationship between the phy
sician and the patient as patients
may choose their own physicians.
Fred Jewett, Portland insur
ance man, questioned the rate set
in the measure and said he be
lieved it would be Inadequate
since it Is "not based on exper
ience." Before closing the meeting. Dr.
Hosch, noting that no members of
the State Medical association were
present, announced that another
hearing would be held later in the
week to which this group would be
"specifically" invited.

The senate Multnomah county
delegation Monday. Introduced a
bill which would place the Port
of Portland district under civil
service.

Senate Passes
Sabotage Bill
"Government Overthrow"
Bill Referred to
Judiciary Group
One victory and one defeat con
stituted the score of Senator. Rex
Ellis (R-Umatilla) on Monday
when his bUl providing heavier
penalties for sabotage was ap
proved by the senate, 23 to 7,
while another measure he sponsor
ed, making it a crime to advo
cate overthrow of government by
force or violence, was referred
over his protest to the senate ju
diciary committee for considera
tion of its possible unconstitution
ality. This measure had once
been passed by the senate, then
reconsidered.
The sabotage bill sets maximum
the penalty for malicious damage
to defense industries at 10 years in
prison and $10,000 fine.
"This measure primarily is In
the interest of labor and not the
millionaire," Ellis declared. "I
am not interested In the com
munist party nor am I interest
ed in other persons who are op
posed to adequate protection of
our military expansion program
This ia a timely bill and should
receive the support of every
member of this senate."
Ellis said he had received a
number of letters protesting pass
age of the sabotage measure. Two
or three of these letters, Ellis de
clared, came from prominent Ore
gon educators.
Sen. W. E. Burk (R-YamhillJ
said that while he favored the
principle of the bill he thought it
should be amended.
The measure was opposed by
Sen. Coe McKenna (R-Mult.)
cn the ground that such legisla
tion should be enacted by the fed
eral government and not by the
state.
Sen. Earl E. Fisher (R-Washington)
quoted from newspaper
editorials supporting passage of
the bill.
Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney (D
Mult.) charged that the bill was
loosely drawn and should be
amended before receiving final
consideration.
Voting for the bill were:
Sens. Bet, Booth, Burke,
Childs, Clark, Cornett, Dunn,
Kills, Fishery Franciscovich, J.
N. Jones, Kauffman, Kenin,
Lee, McKay, V Pearson, Stadle
man, Steiwer Wallace, Walsh,
Wheeler, Wlpperinan and Zur
cher. Opposing the measure:
Belton, Dickson, R. E. Jones,
Mahoney, McKenna, Strayer and
Pres. Walker.
The senate spent nearly an hour
t debate before approving a bill

by the medicine, pharmacy and
dentistry committee, dealing with
the practice of physicians. Sev
eral senators, including L. W.
Wlpperman (R-Josephlne) ob
jected to the measure on the
ground that it did not refer specifi
cally to osteopaths and various
other practitioner. ,
Two other Important bills, both
introduced by Sen. McKenna, also
were approved.
One of these, discontinues the
rural rehibilitatlon corporation in
Oregon while the other relates to

with the national . defense pro

Ways and Means
To Report Bills
More Than 75 'Measures
Expected on State
Appropriations
More than 75 appropriation
bills are expected to be reported
out by the joint ways and means
committee ot the legislature at
Its meeting today. They will in
clude principally appropriations
for the state departments and in
stitutions. The committee also will receive
a report from Sen. W. H. Strayer
(D-Baker) on the legality of a
proposal to divert 1106,000 of
state Income tax receipts for ad
ministrative purposes during the
next blenninm. Strayer was ex
pected to report against the
proposal.
In case the $106,000 is not di
verted for administrative costs it
will be necessary to authorize a
direct appropriation against the
general fund of the state. Legis
lators said this action would
create a deficit in the state budget
for the 1941-43 biennium ap
proved by Governor Charles A.
Sprague and his budget depart
ment. Another matter to be discussed
by the ways and means commit
tee is shorter hours for employes'
of the two state hospital and some
other state institutions. This
would add more than .$100,000
to the state expenditures during
the biennium starting July 1.

Studies by Board
tin Bill Reported
Compensation Commission
Saya House Jleasure
. Boosts Benefits. .
More than $1,150,000 a year In
additional benefits would be paid
out "by the unemployment com
pensation commission if HB 70,
Introduced . by , Rep. A. Hugh
Adams (D-Columbla), were en
acted, the commission stated
Monday In an analysis of the bill's
effect, copies of which were placed
on legislators desks. '
Changes proposed would In
crease the maximum weekly ben
efit check to $20 Instead of $15;
would allow total benefits up to
one third of the base year earn
ings Instead of the existing one
sixth, would exempt partial week
ly pay of $5 Instead of $2. The
maximum additional benefits
might run, as high as $2,820,000
based on the four-million dollar
disbursements of 1939, the com
mission study showed.
Raising the weekly benefit top
to $20 would cost the fund only
about $470,000 a year, based on
1939 records, while the partial
earning exemption would make a
difference of $80,000." The re
mainder of the increase Is based
on lifting the top of one sixth of
the base year earnings to one
third.
These reports, together with
other studies the commission has
been, making, will be discussed
at a series ot meetings of the
house Judiciary committee which
are expected to get under way i
today or tonight, i
