PAGE EIGHT The OREGON STATESMAN. Salem .Oregon, Sunday Morning j January 21. 1945 little Change Expected in Oregon's Tax Structure; Legislation Talking Shape Delay in Veteran Plans Proposed; : 200 Bills Are in By WendeU Webb . s f Manages editor. Th SUtmn The pattern-of legislation for the next biennium in Oregon was shaping up slowly today, with U Indications that the tax structure would be little altered by, the cur rent session of the 43rd legislature. The past week brought to nearly 200 the total number of bills In the senate and house possibly about 25 per cent of the total expectable for the full session. v There was some jjtlk Saturday, however, of postponing for the duration action on some of the Already-introduced legislation, as jweiUas on the governor's sugges tion for a department of veterans' welfare providing a special ses sion would be called should the war end and the veterans' mat ters need more attention before the next biennial meeting. A few legislators were repre sented as believing veterans' legis lation might conflict with the fed eral GI bill of rights, and that it would be better to await comple toin of the federal program before the' states proceed. Committee Suggested ; 'One suggested that such mea sures be referred to a joint in terim committee, but the entire matter had not progressed passed the informal, discussion stage. , The joint ways and means com mittee, which agreed as its first c-rder of business that every ef fort would be made to limit ap propriations to retairr a balanced budget, so far has progressed un der that plan, and it has been esti mated its work is ahead of the schedule of several previous ses sions.' .. i Proposed school measures ap pear to be the major problems in regard 'to the budget Those al ready introduced in the house would create rural school districts, 'and add approximately $3,000,000 to the currently-provided $5,000, 00 school support fund, used to s - -4 V J '-S i, - t .

'- ,' : Equalization Fund Seaght , Three others ; to come to xne house floor as education commit tee bills would establish an addi tional $5,000,000 school equaliza tion fund, but they were reported out Without apparent enthusiasm. The milk pasteurization ques tion, originally expected t6 provide one of the hottest battles of the session, now seems to have set tled into the question of "yes'? or "no" on a plan to require paste urization of milk not bottled on the premises, with periodic in spection and inoculation for cer tain diseses. No move to compel pasteurization of all dairy pro ducts is now expected. Big truck measures' already are in one to raise the load limit to those of neighboring states and another to limit such relaxation of law to two years. A compromise is expected to come from a meet ing of the senate committee on roads and highways at a session Wednesday. Passes Without Argument The prospective argument in the house regarding the senate joint resolution for an investigation of Oregon's liquor business did not materialize, and with the forth coming appointment by Speaker Eugene Marsh of the three repre sentatives to the investigative committee the matter appeared settled at least until hearings be gin or a report is made. A score or more of measures regarding workmen's and unem ployment compensation have been intooduced, including provisions for a second-injury fund (SB 53), pay parity between sexes (SB 55), abolishing of the waiting period for benefits (SB 58), compelling all employers in hazardous indus try to provide for compensation (SB 0), and raising payments for permanent partial disability (SB 72). i Joint memorials were before both senate and house regarding national registration SJM 2 by. Sen. Thomas Mahoney asking con gress to enact compulsory rnTlitary service for boys over 18, and HJM by Rep. Warren Edwin asking immediate enactment of a limited national service act. Old-Age .Bills In 1 Two old-age assistance bills were in the house one raising the $40 monthly limit and specifying no ceiling, and the other setting a ceuing or seo, . . A proposal to build a $100,000 mansion for the governor was withdrawn. I Passed by the house and now awaiting senate action were such bills as RB 5, limiting to three rear 8 compulsory financial re sponsibility under the motor fl nancial safety act; HB T,' extend ing currently-valid operators' li censes to July 1, 1947; HB . 13, barring mobile registration booths; HB 23, limiting use of white canes to blind persons, and HB 2, length ening time between candidates' filings and election, and prescrib ing kinds of pictures for Voters' Pamnhlpt. i Important legislation still before the senate include SB 43, altering method of determining weight of log-hauling trucks and allowing those overloaded to proceed; SB 28, to limit access to major high ways; SB 51, to establish a forestry laboratory at Oregon State col lege .' ,"! f- ... Health Plan Proposed Awaiting action in the house are HB 53, providing for a school health program; and a $26,000 ap propriation;' HB 55, to close high schools with less than 15 average enrollment (about a dozen schools would.. be effected) if there. larger school in proximity; HB 79, allocating $15,000 for aid of pupils on federally-owned . land so they could attend adjacent schools. - Other than school measures, the house also faces consideration of such proposals as HB 58, provid ing for a $100,000 revolving fund with which the state forestry board could acquire land; HB 47, to place all liquor revenue in the general funii; HB 49, providing for a 5-eents-a-gallon tax on aviation gasoline, with most the proceeds to go for airports, under the state highway commission, and HB 77, calling for ; $50,000 annually for plant pest and disease control. Salary Bills Not In Proposals for increased salaries for high state officials had not yet hit the legislative floors today, nor had a blanket workmen's ccmpln- sation proposal,! or the contem plated civil service and firemen benefit bills. f And there still was no iiign of legislation to activate Gov. Earl Snell's proposal J for the creation of a department , of yeterani wel fare, for the coordination of mea sures passed in the -November election. - i ; Y -1 , - , J Most of the fireworks thus far in the 43rd session have teen in the senate although , the house crgued right merrily in' regard, to picture-limitation in the Voters'.

J- f A short time ago an Oregon City woman received recognition for 17 years work during which time she had led 28 projects. At the time it was claimed that she "had per haps the highest record for. the state'. .Until the records of all the counties have been tabulated it will not be known whether Miss cently as successful both direc the veteran performers, Henry Travers and Beulah BondL Del- mer Daves, represented most re- jdirector of the highly 'Destination T o k y o," ed and collaborated on the screenplay for this film.)

A believable adult solution is offer ed bv'The Very Thought Of You.' Alvah Bessie and Daves. wrote the screen play. Franz Waxman wrote the film's music. Dehier's record of 20 years as aj leader will be challenged. 1 . Her record is particularly re markable in the opinion of state and county leaders because of the variety of projects for which she has acted as leader. Home eco nomics, homemaking and ' other similar fields may have been first, but livestock and crops were just as important to the teacher. When no other leader for a club group was! available the principal step ped in and did the work. As war work took away possible leaders the same plan was followed. Mrs. Weddle in the 18 years she has been a club leader has had, 94 projects and during two years had 11 each and 10 ior the third high est year. a Much of this time she was a teacher in a one room school. Like Miss Dehler she led a va riety of projects. The. year she had 11 projects the clubs were homemaking, ; room improvement, health, pir,'alt poultry, turkey, cookery, clothing, handicraft and forestry. Since her scrap book in aicates sne nas also led a camp cookery club, this is another field not represented in that one jof two banner years. : i Mrs.' Weddle is leader of two clubs Organized this week at Par rish junior high school and cpecu lates on how she can make her record an even hundred. :' '"''4.'.
