In the hearing oa the con sumption tax for electric atu lUes, Senator Ronald Jones, (K Marion), co-author with Rep.

Immediate Need Seen For Some Type of Levy He argued however that there Is immediate need for some kind of tax which will cover municipal. peoples utility and federal sys terns, especially in view of im pending congressional legislation for a Columbia river authority empowered to take over entire private systems and operate them until sold to public agencies. Jones said that the public util ities commission would readjust rates to consumers to reflect the elimination of property taxes pn private utilities, but that such re ductions probably would not be uniform. .

Attorney Challenres Bill Proponents on "Loss Leaders" " xjowerman challenged nroDon- ents of the bill to show that the Safeway store had used loss leaders as a means of attracting business. "This Is purely a price-fixing bill," Bowerman declared, "and If approved will tend to increase prices. The present price dis crimination law; has . operated Very satisfactorily and should be retained." ' ' '-'- ' Bowerman contended ". that ' i person arrested for violation of the proposed law who was suc cessful in his defense would have no redress under the proposed new enactment. He asked why utilities were exempted from the new bill. Mead said it was only fair that merchant should be permitted to meet competition. He declared that the Meyer' stores sell for cash with the result that they can offer lower ' prices than some other concerns.
