Of Control Law

R. Mahoney'i bill proposing repeal
f the milk control law was set
for .Wednesday afternoon, by the
senate agriculture committee

demanded that the bill be report
ed out without delay.
. "The people of. Oregon are won

measure," Mahajgey remarked.
The bill had been introduced last
-Friday.';: - ;
E "I don't care whether you . re
tort it out favorably or other
wise," Mahoney' declared, "but 1
-want it reported out." He said
that in the event it became law,
fce would later, support any mea
cure which would provide "real1
milk control and operate for the
dairymen's benefit
. Sen. Burke then suggested that
another bill by Mahoney, placing
the functions of the milk control
board under the state agricultur
al department, be . given right of
way over the repeal measure. The
latter bill is now on the table in
the senate.
"I think such a plan would be
"lair to Gov. Earl SneH, Burke
said. He read a letter from Gov.
Snell suggesting early consider
ation of this bilL
r Snell indicated in his letter that
he preferred transfer of the milk
board's functions to the state ag
ricultural department rather than
repealing the entire law.
, Sen. Frederick Lamport, Mar
Jon, and Earl T Newbry, Jack
son, voiced opinion that the Ma
honey repeal bill should be re

President and Son Chat
. ..-.-.
During his history-making conference at Casablanca In north Africa,
President Roosevelt broke into- His oiscusswns win rrum min
ister Winston Churchill for a whispered exchange with his son
IX CoL Elliot Roosevelt, daty In the are. AP Telemat.
Mrs. Henry M. Hanzen, whom '
the third-term legislators will re
member " as "Pintail" Hannah
Martin for her house battles
against the nickel grabbing . de
vices, accompanied her ! lawyer
husband to the capitol Monday,
will be back there again with him
today. She was "just accompany
ing my husband," she said, and
not interested in any particular
legislation. .;
Since retiring from the Salem
city recordership, which she held
creditably for two years she
didn't seek reelection--Mrs. Han
zen has been just a housewife
at their' country home on the Wil
lamette river near -- Riverdale,
south t of Salem. ' The , Hanzens
spend three days a week in Port
land, where Mr. Hanzen has for
years maintained a law office in
the Oregonian building, and the
rest of the week in the country.
Around New Tear's they were
marooned by the flood the
water came up the driveway
-toward but not into their house.
As if being. Hooded in wasn't
' enough, they were snowed In
two. weeks later.
- 'The milk, butter and egg. prob
lem is no worry to the Hanzens.
"Yes, I make butter, have 25
pounds in cold storage," Mrs.
Martin said. "Come on out and
I'll make you some scrambled
eggs, too." Her servings of scram
bled eggs became more or less
famous while she was a state
representative and living at her
bouse in South Salem.
Johnny denies . . . Marion
county's Rep. John Steelhammer
says it isn't true, the story that
it was he who. once upon a time
put skunk oil in the Woodburn
schoolhouse, bringing a two-day
holiday while the place was be
ing aired out. "There was factions
in the school," explains Johnny.
"The day beforajhey ganged up
on me and some furnishings were
broken that we all had to pay
for. The same bunch put two
bottles of skunk oil in the school
next day."
Three methods of hitch-hiking
were taken note of at informal
discussions in the house Monday
afternoon. There was the thumb
ing method, of course, which sol
diers are forbidden to use. And
Rep. R. C. Frisbie of Baker said
he had seen another digital idea.
He demonstrated, pointing an in
dex finger out at arm's length in
the way that he wanted, theor
etically to go. It was left for
Stella Cutlip, the representative
from North Bend, to demonstrate
another method.
Tm going this way," she
laughed, as she coquettlshly
lifted a skirt just above a come
ly knee.
Visitor . . . none other than
the rotund Joe Dunne, he of the
mop of silver hair, who served
in the state senate and ran for
governor in '34. Not much time
for hanging around the legisla
ture, he indicated, after attend
ing a Salem chamber of commerce
luncheon at which visiting legis
lators were thick and Sen Pres.
Steiwer was principal speaker.
Granpop Frisbie is going to
show 'em off next week. Since
last session when he and Reps.
Pier" and H. R. Jones posed for
Statesman pictures with their
grandchildren, Frisbie has ac
quired a second. Both are coming
next week, he said Monday.
Wonder who is the better bus
inessman? "Pop" L. M. Ramage,
one of Salem's new representa
tives, sells his soft drinks at the
capitol his Ramage's Bottling
Works trucks are seen' in the cap
itol driveway often. Rep. "Far
mer" Jones, on the other, hand,
gives his wine away, generous
samples. Whether or not the sen
ate will give him his way on his
pet wine bill is to be -decided one
of these days.

wanted to know Mrs. R. I Wright,
pro-American worker; and vice
chairman of the Marion county

Monday afternoon. She's quite a
campaigner, also Interested in see
ing committee fireworks.
Did yon know . . . that Ralph
Peoples' mother founded a church
near Salem? She did, and her
husband helped build it. Mrs.
Peoples was a " United f Brethren
pastor. They started ' the Hazel
Green church, which: later,, giv
en up by the UB denomination,
became a Japanese Sunday school,
fostered by women of Hazel Green
and Salem to a large extent. It
closed, "of course, when the- Jap
anese were sent off to relocation
camps. . -- -jri--. -
Mr. and- Mrs. Peoples came to
Salem in 1902 and remained un
til 1917.- Son Ralph returned hj
1925 to spend a year at Willam
ette university; he drove a truck
for the Cherry City Cleaners to
pay his "way. His father is still
living, at Lacomb in Linn county.
. After four years of lobbying
and handling public relations
for the state CIO council, of
which he is an effective exec
utive secretary. Peoples expects
to step out in April. He Is not
a candidate for reelection
might re on up in, the CIO or
ganization or follow : his log
ging skill as a timber taller,
much soncht after now.
Ralph doesn't want to travel
too much, thinks he's getting to
be too much of a stranger in his
home in Washington county. He
has six children, of whom he ob
viously thinks a great deal.
The CIO representative is es
pecially interested, he says, in
some form of tightening up the
workmen's compensation act Too
many loggers are getting hurt
and then finding that they have
been working for the "gyppo"
type of operator who takes out
no compensation protection and
has no assets on which to levy
when the workman obtains a
judgment against him under the
act.
Jerry Dean, six-year-old son of
Zylpha Zell Burns, chief clerk
of the senate, is as proud as any
little boy could be of some coins
and stamps he recently received
from north Africa. They came
from Col. Roy K. Terry, Portland
attorney, son of the late one-time
Sen. Gps MoSer and friend of
the Burns family. Mr. Burns has
a nephew in the Solomons area
about whom they would like to
hear more.
Tradin' . . . "Okeh!" says "Far
mer" Jones, when Reps. Frisbie
and Gile ask him to release from
his committee on public welfare
a new bill, HB202, which they
wanted over in Gile's assessment
and taxation chamber. "You can
have it, if you'll take these three,
too." "These three" were hot po
tatoes. The bill's author, Rep.
Walter Gearin of Portland, said,
however, that the move was
agreeable to him, and Jones in
dicated he might let go without
demanding his pound of flesh.
Courtesies of the senate Mon
day were extended to Phil Mets
chan, owner of the Imperial
hotel in Portland. He occupied a
seat at the desk of Sen. J. N.
Jones of Malheur county.
Reps. William Niskanen, De
schutes, and Howard Turner,
Jefferson, started homeward
over the North Santlam high
way last Saturday to visit their
constituents, but gave it up after
reaching the Cascade summit;
where they found that the
highway was blocked by snow
drifts all the way to Sisters.
Above Detroit they were de
layed by a rock slide, and en
way back down to Detroit a
tree fell partly across the road
too close to them for comfort.
"Senator" Alex G. Barry and
Judge Walter Tooze of Portland
were at the capitol Monday. Barry
served" as United States senator
for a few weeks back in 1938,
completing the unexpired term of
Sen. Frederick Steiwer.
Sheriff C. J. Bauman of Mor
row county was accorded courtesy
of the -house Monday, afternoon.
He is a resident of Heppner.
Sen. Lew Wallace was twitted,
in the course of debate on his
bill for monthly income tax pay
ments, on being one member who
is always thinking about the
voters.! His rejoinder was:
"I think X should have the
privilege of forgetting about the
voters.:. He lost the governorship
race to Earl Snell by a wide mar
gin. , -.
Report Unfavorable

Monday reported out unfavorably
a bill providing that applications

House Raises
Employes9 Pay
Revote Brings $1 a Day
Increase; 309 Bills'
Beat Deadline f
Employes of the Oregon house
of representatives are happy. The
resolution increasing their pay $1
a day, bringing it up to the! wage
scale previously approved in the
senate, was reconsidered Monday
and approved 31 to 28. Last! week
it had ' been defeated 31 jo 29.
How much credit the house
employes will take for successful
lobbying was hot apparent but
some of the lobbying was
Reconsideration was asked by
Rep. Leo Smith, Multnomah, who
had voted against the resolution
on the previous occasion. He said
he changed his mind after sound
ing' out sentiment among consti
tuents and finding it to be favor
able to the increase, chiefly as
a matter of equity since senate
wages had been raised.
Reps. Giles French, Shf rman,
and Walter Pearson, Multnomah,
arguing on opposite sides of the
question, agreed that the senate
action had been "a mistake,' but
French, opposing the increase,
said the house was not- bound
to err because the senate did;
while Pearson, favoring the in
crease, was chiefly concerned with
the aspects of justice. jj
The house action was retroac
tive in that the higher pay will
apply to the entire ' session." 'It
was estimated that the cost will
be between $3000 and $4000.
Following the bill-intrdducing
spree of last weekend, just ahead
of the 20th-day deadline km in
r-
dividual introduction, there was
an abrupt falling-off in the num
ber of new bills. Those ; which
beat - the deadline but had ; not
b e e n read ' Saturday, however,
brought the total up to 309."
One of the lasts bills so intro
duced was a measure by . Rep.
W. W. Chadwick, Marion; designed
to j increase ; the tax on . fortified
wines; and " on 0 related subjects,
there was a bill by. Rep. H. - A.
Kuratli, Washington, designed to
regulate the sale of liquor near
military- resevations, and one by
the alcoholic - control , committee
relating to changes in the liquor
regulations which may be necessi
tated under wartime conditions.
The house passed six bills,
chiefly- corrective measures.

Reflecting a middle-of-the-road attitude which may. typify
its .later' action on tax- questions, the Oregon senate Monday
approved quarterly payment of corporation excise taxes and in
dicated that it would today pass a similar provision relating to
income taxes, - but turned thumbs
down, 24lto 2,ron'a proposal that
income taxes .might.: be . paid
monthly if the taxpayer so desired.
The .proposal under which' in
