Hi OREGON STATESMAN. Solera. Orecjon. Thursday Morning, February 25. IS 43 PAGE FIVE Senate Favors Jap Barriers , '-Deportation Asked; Quarterly Payment Of Tax Passed --. Barring all persons of Japanese parentage from ; service , in . , the armed forces of the United States, and deportation of all such per- : cons regardless of citizenship af ter the war, were favored by the Oregon senate Wednesday when it approved two memorials intro duced by Sen., "Thomas, R.' -Ma- honey.. The . memorials now- go to the house. On the one relating to service in the armed forces, the vote was 16 . to -14, on , the other 21 to 9. .:;: . - ;:' Sen. Mahoney : said the federal government had been unable to determine which Japanese-Americans are loyal and which are not. Sen. Irving Rand in opposing the memorials objected . to the legis ' lature "trying to tell congress and the army how to run the war.w; - The senate approved a bill by: Reps. John Hall and John Steelhammer permitting quar terly payment of income taxes. This measure bears an emerg ency clause and thus will apply to tax payments this year. A senate bill which that body previously passed did not carry the emergency clause. The senate had amended the house bill, to make payments fall due on the 15th of the month rather than the first day, and to provide for. a 3 per cent discount on payment of the full tax at the first installment date and a 2 per cent discount on semi-annual pay ment . " . - Approval was given a resolu tion - by Sen. Lee Patterson' au thorizing the creation of an inter im committee of three to conduct an investigation of the state train ing school for boys and state in dustrial school for girls, with the possibility of placing them under the jurisdiction of a directing commission. These schools are now under the supervision of the state board of control. - Sens. Howard Belton and Angus Gibson opposed the resolution on the ground that both institutions are being conducted satisfactorily under the board. ' A bill by Sen. Earl Fisher de fining the term "livestock" was 1 recalled . from the house and re referred ' to the game committee for amendment. Sen. Lew Wal lace said this measure was vicious in that it would permit the slay ing of dogs without recourse by their owners. Another memorial approved by the senate urges congress to "tone down a bill now before that body amending the civil aeronautics law of 1938. Sen. Rand said passage of the congressional " measure would usurp state powers and prevent taxation of airports. Starts 'Big Inch9 Oil East 1 1 3T mi i W.

Rep. Eugene Marsh, judiciary committee chairman, explained that at present appeals may be filed only, upon writ of review, supported by evidence dealing solely with alleged error on the milk control board's part in the original hearing. Under this bill appeals would be tried "de novo." : Rep. Dean Bryson said the bill's effect would be to curb some of the arbitrary power granted un der the milk control law, but that there were safeguards against in ordinate delay in reaching a de cision upon appeal. Rep. H. H. Chindgren in speak ing against the measure said he feared 1 1 h i s legislature was loosening all controls" but Rep. H. A. Kuratli, who with Chind gren had led in the fight against suspension of the milk control act, spoke in support of this measure. The house referred to the banking and corporations com mittee a bill brought out by the federal relations committee on a divided report, permitting the state, counties and cities to in vest their reserve funds in hous ing authority bonds, after Rep. Max Landon had objected to a step he interpreted as endorse ment of these b o n " s by the legislature. Rep. Dean Bryson in favoring the bill, said Fred Paulus, deputy state treasurer, had indicated that the bonds were well secured by federal guaranty. The house passed a senate bill empowering the state or local gov ernment to establish and maintain ferry service to adjoining states. Three ways and means commit tee bills also were approved in cluding one, which 4 occasioned brief debate, providing that par ents, when able, be required to contribute to the support of de linquent children in semi-private institutions to whose maintenance the state contributes.
