Oregon - legislature ' has been under, criticism from both within and without its member ' hip because of the length of the. current session.. The major-difficulty has been that cl meeting the financial requirement of the state, and the assembly does not have a free hand to exercise its judgment on. matters of taxation. . The people have written into the state constitution "Certain prohibi " . lions wlych- effectively fence the ' ' legislature in.. One of these is the 6 per cent limitation, which puts a rigid ceiling on levies on property for support of the general fund., t A Another is the provision which bans use of. the emergency clause co measures dealing with taxa tion. This exposes every legisla tive tax measure to a referendum. ' Still another is the mandate that proceeds of Income 1 taxes may be used only for reduction of -property taxes. The fourth it the constitutional restriction of use of gas taxes and fees' and licenses on motor ve hicles to highway expenditures. Every one of these limitations has proved embarrassing at this session. Something may be said in behalf of each; but the combina tion makes tax legislation by the legislature, exceedingly difficult The tax problem becomes one of cleverness in devising some scheme which will escape the prongs of-" these - constitutional pickets. To illustrate: there ap pears to be enough money com ing1 in from income and corporate excise taxes to balance the gen eral fund budget: but to make this possible a special , election to authorize an extra levy on prop 'erty has to be had before it "can be used.

There were fireworks at city hall last night as the city council rejected ' City Manager - J. ' 1 Franzen'S recommendation and proceeded to re-order Mico park ing meters from the Michael Arts Bronze company of Kentucky, whose contract was cancelled last month for non-delivery. , Deciding on the originally-ordered manually operated meters against a strong move for auto matic meters that would have cost $10 more per meter (for the order of 1163 meters), the coun cil agreed to a contract with a penalty clause to provide for the company's payment of 23 cents per day per meter not installed by April 25. January 25 of this year was the date of delivery specified in the original contract signed more than a year ago. . The manager's proposal was for purchase of 'the McGee-Hale company's automatic Park-O-Me-ter, used in Oregon City, the cost of which is $61 per meter, com pared with the Michael , meter's $51 price. Quoted prices : include installation costs. ' Mayor' ,R- L. Elfstrom stated after the meeting that the con tract would be signed this morn ing. - 'Mayor Approves The mayor said he believed the manual' Michael meter y would prove satisfactory, although he preferred an automatic meter be cause of the convenience to the publie and because Franzen's re-, cent three-day survey1 of 11 cities in . Washington and . .Oregon seemed to show that the auto matic meters ' were superior. The city now has better con tract than before the March 19 cancellation of the . first agree ment. Mayor Elfstrom declared in calling attention to the com pany's previous refusal to talk about a penalty clause in the contract and its opposition, to company payment of air express charges, both of which , arc now specified. Franzen. expressed a belief that the Michael Arts meters are as good as any manual meter he has inspected. First Vote Is Tie The council's first vote on Franzen's automatic meter rec ommendation was a tie. Voting against his advice were Aldermen Albert H. Gille, David O'Hara, Claude W. Jorgensen and D. J. Fry. Those who favored the au tomatic meters - were Aldermen Howard Maple, James Nicholson, R. O. Lewis and Mayor R. L. Elf strom. , ' ' After the council's . deadlock. Mayor Elfstrom rescinded - his support of Franzen's advice and voted in favor of the Mico me ter. . ' ; Aldermen Nicholson and Maple led the fight for the, automatic meter, based on Franzen's report Nicholson was the only .dissenter in . the re-vote . which approved the Mico meter order. Reminded ef Investigation ; Alderman Gille, reminding the council of the .- "tremendous amount of investigation" . made throughout the U. S. by the com mittee from the previous city council, of which he was a mem ber, and Alderman O'Hara were leading proponents of the Mico meter.. . "Our committee found that for the manual type, as a rule, the maintenance cost was consider ably ..lower than for the auto matic meter," Gille pointed out. Robert Foote, Michael Arts Bronze representative, told the council that the contract was can celled three weeks before 60 per cent of the order was due. Referring to the contract can cellation, Foote suggested, "Was this due to lateness of delivery or just a straw in the wind to grasp to get an automatic meter." He then recalled his company had stood by its original contract with Salem through the long liti gation over the city's right to put in meters. The first parking meter deliv ery of 450 units was due Jan uary 25 but the second, for 713 meters, . was not .placed until February and was not, the meet ing brought out, due until 65 days after placing of the order.
