Tuesday Morning, March II. 1941 E Stays emton ! -51 i wiea 'a - ! i Fourth Congressional Memb Assured as Heralded Battle: Folds Quickly in House Klamath County Gets Approval in Movej for State Senator of Its Own; Wine Over Bar Bill Passes j TYith a heralded battle over senate amendments folding quickly, the ; house Monday accepted the amendment leaving Benton county in the first congressional district andf repassed the bill, creating a fourth congressional district. , The amendment taking Benton cpuhty from the hew fourth dis trict and putting it back in the first district had been opposed by Rep. .John Steelhammer (R-Mar-ion), chairman of the house re . apportionment committee, but he withdrew his 'objections and moved fto concur in the senate change ; . . . The bill; which now goes to the f. governor, : provides i that Coos, "i Curry,' ? Douglas, Jackson, J ose phine, Lane and Linn counties . shall make up the new district. Benton county legislators op . pose inclusion of their county in the new district, made up largely of. southern Oregon counties. Iamath Bill Passes - A measure to give Klamath county a, state senator of its own by splitting the 17th senatorial dis trict (Klamath, Crook, Deschutes, Jefferson and Lake counties) and giving a senator jointly to the other " four counties was passed 43 to 16 by ,the house. The bill would place Morrow county in -the joint Gilliam-Sherman-Wheeler district, abolishing the j ointi Morrow-Umatilla-Union district now represented by Sen. Rex Ellis; (R-Umatillay. The bill now goes to the sen ate which defeated a similar bill a few weeks ago. ; The house went into com mittee of . the whole to reject amendments ' by its insurance committee to a bill increasinr control of the state banking de partment over automobile loan firms and passed the bill. The insurance committee had amended the senate bill to pro vide a maximum Interest rate of 2 per cent. The house amended it to provide an interest rate of 3 per cent on loans! up to $300 and 2 per cent on Joans from $300 to $500, but eliminated minimum flat fee and insurances charges. Buy Own Insurance Rep. Harry Boivan (D-Klamath) explained that the 3 per cent rate would permit ; the loan companies sufficient margin to buy their own insurance instead of charging it to the borrower. - A measure to permit sale of natural fruit or berry wines over the bar passed the house 34 to 15 and was sent to the senate. The house passed and sent to the senate a bill to authorize the state board of control to spend up to $100,000 for construction of armories. Cities would contribute half the cost, , but the.j bill would be in operative if . an armory construc tion program' is started by the fed eral government. The house reconsidered the vote by which it defeated a measure to retire and pension isupreme and circuit judges at theage of 65. The measure was referred back to the judiciary committee.

Commercial Street er mittee on a bill which would have prohibited use of parkihg meters in cities. Rep. Frank J. Lonergan (R Mult.) said that the committee believed that "the legislature should "not trample )upon the principle of home rule.'! The house upheld 30 tp 27 a "do not pass" report of the I ways and means committee on a jbill to es tablish a 60-hour week; for em ployes of state institutions. Rep. Phil Brady CD-Mult.) one of the sponsors of ' the bill, said that Oregon and Kentucky axe the only states which do not have an eight-hour day in state institutions. Brady said that theile is no waiting list for employment at state hospitals. "You can't ex pect employes to doriate their services," he said. The house, howeverf rejected another adverse ways 4nd means committee report on a bill to set minimum salaries for dctors and other full time employes of state institutions. Circuit Judge Bill Held up The senate Monday decided to hold in abeyance an adverse re port of the joint ways and means committee on a bill providing for an additional circuit judgeship in Multnomah county pending ac tion by the governor on a meas ure previously passed Authorizing the appointment of circfuit judges pro tern. j Sen. Ashby Dicksori, Multno mah county, said he ha been ad vised that the bill providing for appointment of circuit judges pro tern is unconstitutional.! "If Gov. Charles Ai Sprague vetoes the measure providing for ! appointment of circuit judges pro tem this senate may wajnt to con sider the bill creating a new cir cuit judgeship in Multnomah county," Senator Dicksdn contin ued. Senator Dickson added that the circuit court docket in Atultnomah county was badly congested and that the litigants there titled to some relief. were en- Dickson May Withdraw Voters' Pamphlet Bill The senate elections land priv ileges committee Monday reported out Sen. Ashby Dickson's bill, re lating to language usd in the voters' pamphlet, so if may be withdrawn. j Senator Dickson said f he would ask permission to withdraw the measure at Tuesday's sessions. You baft m IF YOU CAN afford to spend another SjjJO this year, then you can easily afford to drive a Cadillac even if you are note driving a car built especially for tbrfft. Because that's actually all the extra it costs for gas per jyear as compared with the most economical cars built today! Owners report 14 to 17 miles per gallon, negligible service costs, and unmatched oil economy. So why not drive the finest? Stat and CJ tub- U ' i Mc Anti-ASCAP Bill Dropped By McKenna - ! I! , Failing to jar it loose from a committee which ihe considered unfriendly, Sen. iCoe McKenna withdrew Monda r afternon his bill which would have outlawed in Oregon large associations formed for protection of copyright, known as the anti-ASCAP bill. He had moved that it be; taken from the senate judiciary commit tee and referred !to some other committee.; This measure was introduced during- the closing- days of Febru ary," Sen, McKenna declared, "but apparently no action has been taken by the judiciary committee to report it out. I think this bill is of sufficient importance to warrant a fair and impartial hearinr on the floor of the senate." j Sen. Harry Kenu said there was no desire on the part of the ju diciary committee to chloroform the measure and jt had been the subject of Several jpublic hearings. 'Xp to this timdj we have not found any person 1 1 who can ex plain the bill," Kenin continued. Kenin added that virtually all of the radio broadcasting stations in Oregon, including the larger ones in Portland, were opposed to passage of the measure. "We have been very patient with this bill," Chairman Ash by Dickson of . the judiciary committee said, "but as yet we have not been able to determine what it would accomplish. If some person will explain the measure the committee will re port it out." J Sen. Dickson also declared that he had asked the attorney gen eral office for an interpretation of the bill but had not yet received a report. Sprague Signs Pension Hike Gov. Charles A. Sprague signed on Monday a bill to increase the maximum old age pension limit from $30 to $40 a month. The governor also approved a measure authorizing ocal option elections to determine Whether alcoholic liquors, including forti fied wines and beer, shall be sold. Governor Calls Special Hearing On Truck Rates Gov. Charles A. Sprague Mon day called a public hearing for Wednesday afternoon, starting at 3 o'clock, to discuss Rep. J. S. Greenwood's bill relating to spe cial carriers. Under the Greenwood measure, approved by the legislature, the public utilities commissioner would regulate the rates to be charged by special carriers, including gravel, wood and log trucks. They would be subjected to the same regulation as to rates, record ac counts and reports as are required from contract carriers under the existing laws. The governor siid he had in vited both the proponents and opponents of the measure to at tend the hearing. I ' Phone 318S W I I I I r r fill Last of Worlmien's Compeiisation Series of Measures Favored Dispute Arbitration Covered by Board of Three Physicians; Proposed Laws Would Cost Fund $30,000 Yearly ; ; Occupational diseases will be compensable by the state in dustrial accident commission if a measure approved by the Oregon senate Monday becomes law. It was the last of the series of bills, dealing .with workmen's compensation. Sen. Ronald E. Jones (R-Mar- ion) said the measure had re ceived careful consideration by the industries committee and that all occupational diseases had been enumerated. He said some of the state industrial accident commis sion officials estimated that oper ation of the proposed law would cost the workmen's compensation fund a minimum of $30,000 an nually. Other officials estimated the cost at a much higher figure. Outstanding Feature One outstanding feature of the measure provides for arbitration in cases of dispute as to whether the worker applying for relief has an occupation disease. The -board of arbitration would in clude a physician selected by the industrial accident commission, another chosen by the worker and the third, by the other two doctors. The decision of the arbi tration board would be final. Approval also was given a bill by Sen. Dorothy Lee, (R Mult) authorizing the appoint ment of so-called "watchers' in connection with the counting of ballots at both primary and reneral elections. These "watchers" would be re commended by political party of ficials and would serve without compensation. Stationing these watchers in the election booths during the counting of the ballots would be optional and not man datory. Sen. Lew Wallace (D-Mult.), charged that the passage of this bill would weaken rather than strengthen the present election laws. "If you want absolute honesty in elections it would be better to defer counting of the ballots until the polls are closed," Sen. Wallace declared. A measure by the insurance committee authorizing the state and its political subdivisions to contract for insurance covering their employes was indefinitely postponed. Sen. Wallace protested defeat of this bill on the ground that it was wanted by a number of state departments and there would be no cost to the taxpayers. The measure was reported out adversely by the joint ways and means committee. Similar Action Taken Similar action was taken on a measure by Sen. Wallace provid ing that need shall be determined by subtracting outside income from the maximum pension under the old age assistance program. For instance, if a person earns $15 a month, he would be entitled to a $25 pension if funds were available, since the top limit is $40. It was brought out during the discussion that this measure would cost $2,000,000 a year. Sens. Rex Ellis, Umatilla county, and Wallace spoke against indefinite postponement of this bill. Consideration of the firemen's pension bill was postponed un til 11 ajn. today, when it will come up under special order of business. This measure previ ously passed the house. It was returned to the senate with a 'do not pass" report. The meas ure was introduced by Rep. Frank Lonergan and a number of other members of the lower house. Approval was given a resolution by Sen. Coe McKenna (R-Mult) providing for the appointment of an interim committee to conduct a study of industrial possibilities in the Columbia river area with out destroying the scenic beauty. The Oregon interim committee would conduct the study in co operation with a similar commit tee from the Washington legisla ture. The report would be filed with the legislatures of the two states in 1943. An appropriation of $1000 was sought by Sen. Mc Kenna to cover incidental costs.

"vs:S': Appropriations above the gov ernor's budget aggregate approxi mately $875,000, but part of this was offset by new revenues found after the budget was completed. Committee members said they were well satisfied with their op erations and that the deficit would not in any way interfere with the conduct of the state activities. They declared that most of the deficit would be wiped out within the next year. . mix it be so . ... Yet here crispness ... as "brash" as any rookie . . . The lines are precise . . .
