duced in 1939. The senate Satur-
day had passed 1M of its own
j bills and 79 house measures. The
house had passed 177 of its own
bills and 51 previously approved
by the senate. Eighteen measures
had been beaten, one passed over
veto, and 25 tabled through sub
stitutions. A considerable argument has
arisen the last few days over the
bill to set the starting date of the
Oregon State fair as the last Mon
day in September. The opening
now is set by the state department
of agriculture, in correlation with
dates set for other similar affairs,
and usually is the first week in
September. Leo Spitz bart, state
fair manager, was quoted as say
ing the change. Jn dates vuld be
ruinous and other opponents also
declared weather conditions are
far more certain earlier in the
season. Some proponents are con
tending the state fair should be
delayed until after county ex
hibits are over.
