Measure
School Fund
Notes Asked
The counties and cities com
mittee of the house of represen
tatives is introducing a bill to en
able cities, counties, school dis
tricts and other civilsubdivisions
to sell short term negotiable notes
to finance current expenditures
Rep. George R. Duncan (R-Mar
ion), chairman, said Tuesday.
ine Din, xjuncan said, is in
tended to assist municipalities
which suffer financing difficulties
'due to tne lag between time of
expenditures and time of tax col
lections.
The measure, drawn by Fred
Paulus, deputy state treasurer,
would fix a one-year time limit
on the notes, permit their issu
ance up to 80 per cent of sum of
the taxes receivable for the cur
rent year and the two immedi
ately preceding years, and of other
anticipated receipts.
Milk Control
Foe to Act
Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney (D-
Multnomah), foe of Oregon's milk
control law, expects to introduce
a bill in the state senate today re
moving the control features from
the act he said Tuesday night
The law would retain its price-
fixing provisions but open the
market to all comers, Mahoney ex
plained.
This course has been advocated
by several independent milk pro
ducers among the Salem milkshed
group that has attacked the con
trol act in court unsuccessfully.
Welfare Commission
Name Change, Sought .
The name of the state welfare
commission would be changed to
the wage and hour commission
under a bill approved by the sen
ate Tuesday.
Senator Ronald E. Jones, Mar
ion county, said this legislation
would eliminate confusion. The
wage and hour commission would
operate under the direction of
Charles H. Gram, state labor com
missioner. Negro Civil Rights
Bill Postponed .
Sen. Harry Ken in (R-MulO
Tuesday told members of the
senate judiciary committee that
the proposed negro civil rights bill
would not be introduced at this
legislative session.
A somewhat similar bill was
defeated at a previous legislative
session.
Consider Amendments
The senate industries committee
will hold : another meeting this
afternoon' to consider a number
of proposed amendments to the
workmens compensation law.
There are approximately 20 of
these bills before the committee.

Jobless Benefit
Plan Reported
Cutting Down Waiting
Period Hurts Fund,
Committee Says
Cutting down the waiting period
before an unemployed worker
would begin drawing jobless j ben
efits would cost the trust fund
between $194,000 and $545,0Q a
year based on the present law,
according to a study presented to
the legislature yesterday by the
unemployment compensation com
mission. ! "
If the present three week Wait
ing were cut to two, the additional
yearly cost would be $282,000 and
if it were cut to one week tbe
added burden would be $545,000,
the study showed. If these waiting
weeks had to be served within
the benefit year, however,!, the
additional cost would be ionly
$194,000 and $431,000 respectively.
These figures, which were drawn
up specially to help the house
judiciary committee in its ' con
sideration of several proposals to
liberalize benefits, were based on
the slightly over four million dol
lars paidto the unemployed Idur
ing 1910.
The unemployment trust fund
would be saved $105,000 a year if
the present waiting period had to
be served after the start of the
benefit year, which corresponds
to the calendar year. The study
also showed that cutting down the
waiting weeks to one, if combined
with other labor proposals in
house bills Nos. 22 and 70, might
cost the fund as much as $950,000
a year. I
At the six-hour hearing Monday
night, the committee indicated that
cut in the waiting weeks ! was
the most likely of the employe
changes to be adopted.
Alcohol Effect
Study Is Urged
A ways and means subcommit
tee Tuesday conducted a hearing
on house bill No. 445, appropriating-
$15,000 for more adequate
means of teaching the effects of
alcohol and narcotics in the
schools, colleges and universities.
A department of scientific in
struction would be created under
the direction of the state superin
tendent of public instruction in
cooperation with the state system
of higher education.
A large delegation representing
various organizations EDonsbrine
the bill attended the hearing.
Mrs. W. W. Gabriel, Portland,! was
chairman of the delegation.
Speakers favoring the measure
included Mrs. J. H. Turnbull. leg
islative chairman for the congress
of parents and teachers; Rev. Mil
ton A. Marcy, Judge Donald E.
Long, Ralph E. Mort, J. W. ! Ed
wards, Rex Putnam and Rev. E.

Senate Passes Bill
Ti Liberalize Loans !
The senate Tuesday passed a
bill by Senator J. N. Jones, Mal
heur county, which would permit
savings and loan associations to
liberalize their investments. !
Under the Jones measures these
associations would have authority
to loan on real property up to 75
per cent of its appraisal. The pres
ent law restricts the loan to 66 2
per cent
