Legislature Message That Motor
Carriers! Pay Into Two Funds
Study oi tax payments by
Oregon was favored by the house
enues, committee Friday in reporting out favorably a joint reso-
tion calling for an interim committee to work on the matter.
. That trucks should contribute to
the general fund as well as the
highway fund was one of the
major suggestions in- Governor

ture, j
Rails .were! brought into the
resolution on the theory that they

Set 'Night Club' Curb
Rep. Harry D. Boivin (D-Klam-ath),
chairman of the house alco
holic control committee, will irf-
36duce ' a: bill to give the state
qubr commission authority over
'"" night clubs and other unlicensed
places serving "set-ups."
The bill would require such
places to obtain a service license
. which would be cheaper than the
restaurant license, probably $50.
The liquor commission can now
' take action against such clubs
4 when hard liquor is sold directly
to customers.; ,
A similar measure known as
the "club bill passed the last
legislature, but was defeated
when referred to the people.
A measure to increase the share
of counties in the state gas tax
fund from 15.7 per cent to 20 per
cent was re-referred to the high
ways committee, where it joins a
disputed bill to divert gasoline tax
'funds to cities.
Special Order of Business '
The house made debate on a
measure to substitute a basis of
need provision for the $30 maxi
mum on old age pensions a spe
cial order of busines-for 10:30 a.
m. Monday.
Bills passed by the house and
sent to the senate included a meas
ure to authorize the state real es
tate commissioner to license, bond
and regulate collection agencies.
An attempt to refer the fire
men's pension bill, reported out
favorably, to the ways and means
committee failed when Rep. Frank
J. Lonergan (R-Mult) objected to
the motion by Rep. Angus Gibson,
(R-Lane), chairman of the' house
ways and means committee.
The house reconsidered its de
feat of a bill which would prohibit
relief recipients from testifying in
court to matters contained in rec-
I oras oi tne state ana county pud-
lic weiiare commissions.
The bill was then reref erred to
the ways and means committee.
Premium Time Cut
After extended debate the house
passed 35 to 22 a bill which
would permit reciprocal and mut
ual life insurance companies with
a surplus of i $300,000 or more to
write policies without requiring
a year'sTemium in advance.

False Company
Measure Approved by Senate
- Severe penalties for the circulation! of false printed state
ments attacking candidates for public office are provided in a
measure approved on Friday by the Oregon senate. - The bill, in
troduced by Sen. Rex Ellis (R-Umatilla), had been, reported out
favorably by the judiciary com
mittee. A number of advertisements at
tacking Ellis during his recent
campaign for second district con
gressman were read during debate
on the bOL
"One of these advertisements
charged that I had no visible
means of support," Ellis declared.
Nineteen bills were passed by
the senate while two others were
continued for consideration until
Monday.
One of these measures, by Sen.
Coe McKenna (R-Mult), included
certain service trades in the so
called fair trades law.
The bill was opposed by Sen.
Thomas R. Mahoney (D-Mult).
Five bills designed to make the
state public welfare laws conform
to the federal social security setup
were approved with little opposi
tion. Most important of these mea-
sures was one providing a mer
it system Involving the person
nel of both the state and county
welfare commission employes.
Sen. Howard Belton (R-Clacka-mas)
said failure to pass this
measure would mean the state
would lose 99.000,00 of federal
funds annually.
Another bill provided that foster
homes for children under the pub
lic welfare commission must re
ceive certification by the commis
sion. Approval also was given a bill
authorizing construction of a stu
dent union building at the Univer
sity of Oregon and a fire-proof
auditorium at the Oregon State
college. The structures would cost
$250,000 each.
Five senators voted against a
measure by Rep. Kenneth Mar
tin authorising counties to em
ploy expert advertising consult
ants In connection with their ad
vertising campaigns. The bill
also authorises counties to pool
their funds with other govern
mental agencies.
The senate approved a bill mak
ing the records of the state and
county public welfare commis
sions available to legislators. Oth
er measures, passed previously,

old age assistance for political or
commercial purposes.
