$90,000 for the ; next biennium. ;
V; The refusal to recommend the

tion." ? ., : V

Sought to Aid
Liquor Control
Ray Conway, administrator for
the Oregon liquor control com
mission, told the senate alcoholic
traffie committed Thursday that
new laws to implement enforce
ment of liquor statutes : were ' es
sentiaL A series! of bills to that
end were; presented, j f
Conway said there had been
considerable trouble in ithe com
mission's attempts unusually fu
tileto close bootleg bars and illegally-operated
night spots, and
that operators of unlicensed places
arrested for violations often have
boil posted and ajre serving drinks
again before the; arresting agent
can write his report.
He told Sen. Dean Walker, in
response to a question, ; that the
courts won't handle a second
charge against the same man un
til' disposition is' made ; of the
original, charge." J
Bills suggested' would jgive the
commission the right to take as
evidence . and to confiscate on
conviction4 all equipment, furn
ishings and liquor on premises
where a violation was charged,
including liquor sold by the Ore
gon commission as well; as con
traband.
Conway said, The court order-
ed us to return all but the contra
ban liquor,", in connection with
four seizures. f j j
Other bills would increase pen
alties for Violations, make it the
duty of all police officers to as
sist the commission in enforce
ment, raise the I fee for I service
licenses ! from $25 to $250 annu

eaten in House After Lengthy
Arguments Quoting Poems
, " Robert Burns and. the loosely-termed labor draft may or may
not have anything in common, e ven in memory, but quotations from
the Scotch poet flew thick and fast- in the house of representatives
Thursday on the occasion of the famed bard's brithday anniversary.
!ltr wasn't, that the ; house was observing the anniversary.
T- '-Jt was because Rep.! Warren Erwin inserted phrases from" Burns
in lus argument supporting the
memorial (HJM 1) asking con
gress to enact & limited national
service act arid because Rep. John
Dickson who opposed the memor
ial also "knew" Burns and called
him In on his 'side, too.
Memorial Defeated 1
Erwin's ' memorial, ' ultimately
amended to call for "total con
scription" instead of "limited na
tional service," lost by a vote of
42 to 18 (see story on page 1);
Erwin supported his memorial
with the statement that "it is" pre
sented as a measure to uphold the
commanders who are winning this
"war.nr .. : ij ',' ,
He quoted military leaders as
having pleaded for a limited na
tional service .fto provide mater
ials which would save the lives
of thousands of American boys;"
asked .why htf5or should "turn
thumbs down now" on President
Roosevelt "because he ; doesnt go
along with labor; and demanded
that "we back up our leaders."
Rep. H. H. Chindgren r) of Mol
lala, chairman of the resolutions
committee which reported out the
memorial without recommenda
tion, aid "I think we should have
brought in a "do not pass" re
port."! He termed limited : national
service "another step toward toJ

to pass. .a service act . because
