Parliamentary moves Involving
the bill transferrin milk control
duties to the department of agri
culture, : which Sen. Thomas XL
Mahoney of Multnomah fathered
but doesn't want passed until ac
tion is taken on his subsequent
bill repealinr milk .control alto
gether, involved the Oregon senate
in its noisiest tilt to date Monday
when the measure was removed
from the table-on motion of Sen.
W. E. Burke, Yamhill." , : .
Sen. Burke sought to place the
bill on final passage but Sen. Ma
honey protested "on - the ground
that the repeal measure should
be considered first - He charged
that this bill was being "stalled"
In the committee but Burke de
nied this, saying a public hearing
had been held and the bill prob
ably would be reported out with
in a few days. '-, -r -t.-.
f Sen. Dean Walker then moved
that the transfer bill : be re-j-
referred to the agriculture com-
mlttee, declaring: "We have a
: rlrht to know what sort of eon
i trel will be provided by the
j state agricultural department
' before we vote on this measure."
j But this motion failed after
Sen. Earl Fisher. Washington,
-' had voiced confidence in Gov.
,' Earl SnelTs intention to "play
fair with the dairy Interests,"
i and the bill will come np en
1 third readhur later in the week.
i- Sen. Frederick Lamport, Marion,
declared that the more he had
! studied the milk control situation
' the less he knew about it "There
Is a lot of talk about the pro
ducers," Sen. Lamport said, "but
j little with relation to the con-
j Burners."
Five bills were approved by the
senate at Monday's sessions. Im
portant among these was one by
Sen. Coe McKenna, Multnomah,
increasing the reserve fund' of the
state industrial accident commis-
! sion from $500,000 to $4,500,000.
Sen. McKenna declared that the
i commission's reserve . fund has
1 been in jeopardy on several occa
i sions and: that approval of this
,' bill would place the fund on a
I sound and workable basis,
j The senate also approved a
; measure by the military affairs

House Passes Worker Benefits
..-.,...-...,.,- . ....... ,
Bill. Rejects Pay Requirement
Workers totally and permanently disabled prior to 1941
would receive the same benefits as those disabled since the ap
proval of increased benefits in that year, if Speaker William M.
McAllister's bill, approved in the house Monday, becomes law.
But the house rejected a bill
sought by organized labor, which
would have required that work
ers be - paid semi-monthly if not
oftener.
Rep. Phil Brady, Multnomah,
said most employers paid weekly
or semi-monthly but that this bill
was aimed at those few. who
operate on the workers' money"
by paying only once a month. Rep.
E. Riddell Lage, Hood River, and
others . objected that mora fre
quent pay days would require
more bookkeeping - and that such
legislation should wait until after
the war. - Rep. Brady:, said it was
especially necessary now because
credit Is curtailed, and added that
the monthly pay day is "the back
bone of the loan shark."
Rep. McAllister, said his bill
liberalizing workmen's ; compen
sation benefits would cost the ac
cident fund 1875,000 over a ten-
year period but that the fund
could stand it. Benefits would be
increased from $30 to $ft a month;
to. $50 if the disabled worker had
a wife to support, and $12 for
each child.
Despite Rep. JL.ec Smith's ob
jection to a provision requiring
that only United States citizens
might practice, the house passed
a bill tightening the regulations
governing optometrists and for
biding them to advertise that any
services are free. Rep. Smith said
"misguided nationalism" was to
be avoided, and insisted that na
tionality had nothing to do with
an optometrist's skilL
Rep. F. H. Dammasch, Multno
mah, said the provision's purpose
was to guard against the refugees
who were "swamping" the pro
fession in the east, and Rep. Dean
Bryson, Multnomah, added that
European schools had turned out
incompetent practitioners in re
cent years. - ;
The house postponed indefinite
ly Rep. Vernon Bull's measure
which would have penalized citi
zens who failed to register or to
vote by denying them public as
sistance and charging them an ex
tra' dollar for hunting, fishing or

Water Rights Bill
Concerning Loss
Threatens Peace
Salvaging lost water ought to
be a pleasant prospect to any ir
rigator. But the federal reclama
tion commission's plans to attempt
what others have failed seven
times to accomplish dam up a
lava f ault in the upper Deschutes
river and save from 41,000 to 72,-
000 acre feet of water lost an
nually threaten to disturb the
peace which has prevailed among
water users on that stream since
rights were adjudicated several
years ago.
Rep. Howard Turner, Jefferson,
has a bill in the legislature pro
posing that whoever shall improve
a stream's flow shall have first
claim upon the water salvaged.
Desirability of such legislation
was defended at a hearing Mon
day before the house committee on
irigation and drainage by Percy
A. Cupper of Salem, representing
the Jefferson Water Conservancy
district.
But the bill was opposed by
Harvey H. DeArmond of Bend and
LaSalle Coles, representing Des
chutes county irrigation districts,
on the ground that it would tend
to distrub the adjudicated rights.
DeArmond also insisted that the
water saved could not be ac
curately distributed, since the loss
fluctuates greatly from year to
year for no apparent cause.

. Committee) Approve
End of Transfer! '
For Municipalities
Counties,. cities and school dis
tricts will be enabled to set up
reserves for post-war improve
ments and expenditures not now
possible, if bills reported out fav
orably Monday by the house com
mittee on assessment and taxa
tion are enacted into law.
The authority to retain such
reserves, not transfer them to the
general fund at' the end of the
year as "balance on hand" offset
against the next year's tax levy,
is limited in the amended bills
by the requirement that expendi
tures be for necessities and that
any amount remaining after the
originally stated purpose is ac
complished shall revert to the
general fund.
The bill granting this author
ity to cities is a substitute for
a bill on which the committee
originally frowned.
The committee also reported
out favorably a bill which would
make it possible for the state to
assume more than 60 per cent
of the public welfare cost, if funds
available were adequate. This
bill was introduced by Rep. Wal
ter J. Gearin, Multnomah.
Gvilian Defense
Priorities Urged
The problem of priorities for
Salem civilian defense supplies
has not been forgotten by the na
tional civilian defense office. Al
derman Tom Armstrong was no
tified by a telegram from Sen.
Charles L. McNary on Monday.
While priority has not yet been
established, a promise has been
given McNary that Salem's needs
will not be overlooked, he de
clared in his message, adding that
he hoped for early action. Auxil
iary fire fighting equipment, hel
mets, gas masks and other mater
ials that would be needed in case
of war emergency are sought by
civilian defense units here, and
MsNary's message concerned
these.
Oregon residents come to Salem
for the hearing.
