Proposal to Repeal Walker
Act Highlights Work Ahead
In 43rd Legislative Session
liquor Probe Quiet;
Tax Setup Altera-
tions Are Proposed
" i ' s . , ,-
, By WENDELL WEBB
Managing editor, Th Statesman
, , Oregon's liquor probe, quiescent
for a week while the wheels were
being oiled, is expected to climb
back to the headlines soon but
there is little doubt it will take
back seat for some time in view
of new developments now facing
the 43rd legislature which recon
venes tomorrow.
The state's tax setup appears to
b the biggest issue at hand.
The most controversial of newly-introduced
bills dropped in the
house at its final session of the
week when Reps. H. H. Chridgren
and R. C. Frisbie proposed (HB
188-189) the state, retention of
IjBurplus income and corporation
excise taxes to provide an esti
mated $20,000,000 annually for
postwar construction. ---The
suggested program was the
second major .effort to alter the
state's tax plan. The first con
stituted house measures (HB 121-122-123)
asking fora $5,000,000
school equalization fund and an
increase from $5,000,000 to $8,
000.000 in the school support fund
(HB 81).
Would Oust Walker Act
The Chindgren-Frisbie proposal,
which in effect would repeal the
Walker act of 1943, would prevent
each income and corporation ex
cise tax reductions as the 75 per
cent cut of 1944 and 30 per cent
for 1945. It would not disturb the
present $5,000,000 school support
plan.
Most noise in the house last
week arose over the proposal (HJM
1) of Rep. Warren Erwin to peti
tion congress for immediate en
actment of a limited national ser
vice act The suggestion, after be
ing amending to read "total con
scription" instead of limited na
tional service, went down in a
burst of oratory by a vote of 42
to 16. A memorial (HJM 2) asking
that the t national , guard be in
cluded in postwar policies was
passed.
Almost as lively a time arose
from a measure (HB 145) to Rep.
John Steelhammer i to eliminate
the requirement that county courts
In filling legislative vacancies,
should choose an appointee of the
same political faith; as his pre
decessor. A "do pass'' committee
report ultimately was adopted and
final , action is set" for today. A.
plan to keep polls open until
10 p. m. (HB 40) was defeated.
Fay Bill Brings Row
The senate's most violent argu
ment since that precipicated by
the liquor probe bill was over
a proposal to increase- the salary
of : election aids from $3 a day
(HB 24). The figure of $4 a day
finally was approved.
From all reports,! at least the
forerunners of majorj contemplated
introduction already jhad been en
tered in either the senate or house,
with the exception of a program
for a state department of veterans'
welfare a recommendation of
Gov. Earl Snell. i
Measures passed last week by
the house included those barring
sale of liquor when (election polls
are open, with penalties (HB 21);
permitting 30-day detention of
parolees on suspicion (HB 101);
asking congress to include the na
tion guard in postwar policies
(HJM 2).
Measures Pendinx
Measures still pending in the
house include those putting liquor
revenue in the general fund in
stead of directly into old-age as
sistance (HB 47); taxing aviation
gasoline 5 cents a j; gallon to fi
nance an airport program (HB
49); putting a health program in
schools (HB 53); raising old-age
benefits (HB 52 end 57); provid
ing for" milk pasteurization (HB
83); restoring voting privileges to
felons (HB 131); making military
training compulsjsijy In high
schools (HB 167),; and providing
pensions for state police (HB 171).
Now pending inj the senate are
measures providing; for the use
of large trucks cn Oregon high
ways (SB 5 and J 42) ; extending
time between fillings of candidates
and elections from 45 to 90 days);
boosting old-age assistance (SB
20); new state hospital buildings
(SB 31); civil rights "hotel bill"
(SB 34); extending workmen's
compensation (SB 60 and others);
raising judges', salaries (SB 86);
