T The measure carries an appropriation of $20,000, which would be paid oat of state liquor control commission funds. Rep.

Senate Okehs Wine Change Permit Needed to Buy Fortified; Smelt Limit Passed Sale of fortified wines will be made only to persons holding li quor permits if a bill approved 23 to 7 by the Oregon senate be comes law. The measure, intro duced by Sen. Irving Rand, now goes to the house. Its author said the measure would prevent 18 and 19-year-old boys and girls from purchasing "high voltage" wines. The bill was opposed by Sen. William Walsh on the ground that existing laws are sufficient to control the sale of intoxicating li quors. s ' . What we need is a little more enforcement on the part of the state liquor control commission and not a new law," Sen. Walsh declared. He referred senators to a section of the .Knox liquor con trol act which defines intoxicat ing liquor as that containing in excess of 1 per cent alcohoL . The senate also approved a measare by the game commit tee limiting the smelt catch on part of the Sandy river in Mnltnomah county , to 50 pounds. The present limitation Is 10$ pounds. Sen. Lew Wal lace said this bill had received the endorsement of both the state game and fish commis sions , and was In the interest of fish conservation. Sen. Dorothy Lee and, Thomas R. Mahoney opposed the measure on the theory that it is not in the interest of many persons who need the fish as food. There was no opposition to a bill introduced by Sen. P. J. Sta delman providing free fishing li censes for a . group of 34 Colum bia river Indians, who are not residents on any reservation. . Another bill approved on .third reading gives men in the armed forces $3000 additional income tax exemption. This measure was introduced by Rep. Stanhope Pier. Disabled war veterans, under another bill, would receive hunt ing licenses for 50 cents instead of the statutory fee of $3. This measure was reported out by the senate military affairs commit tee. Two bills, one by the Marion county delegation and the other by the senate game committee, pwere referred for further study and possible amendment. One of .these measures would ; increase the salaries of district attorneys and their deputies. Sen. Angus Gibson, Lane county, asked that this bill be referred to the joint ways and means committee. , He said approval of this measure would cost the taxpayers of Ore gon not less than $4d,000. The other bill, authorizing the state game commission to estab lish a public shooting ground on a art of Summer lake in Lake county, was sent to the revision of laws committee. Land required for this shooting range : would be purchased by the game commis sion from the state land board at a price of $7.50 an acre.

It was on the "big truck bilL that he made his ' motion, ' The house after an hour of debate bad adopted 45 to "15 Perry's motion to substitute the minority for the majority report, which meant that the' bill's do not pass recom mendation was sustained. Then up popped Perry: "I now move that HB220 be placed on final passage." Speaker McAllister, who was on the other side of the fence, gaped, then quickly put the motion. "Oh! I withdraw that motion!" shouted Perry. .. . The house then agreed by voice vote to postpone the bill indefinitely. Washington's birthday provided the occasion for visits to the house by children of members. Among them were Laura Lee, 14, daughter of Rep. Stella Cutlip, from North Bend.
