MOUSE RESUMES MONDAY 19 JO A.M. 1; llh Watson at the LeUture I W W pi - J m. w r " r It's Getting So a Body Can't Put Out a Dollar Without Publicity By Ralph Watson Never again will Tom Dewey, or Harold Stassen. or any other big league republican be allowed to come romping into uregon to disturb the even tenor of the democratic way of life without filing their expense; accounts with the secretary of state. Not if Senate Bill 98 has anything to; say about it. Senate Bill 98 came flying into the senate under the four-cornered gonfalon of Sens. Neuberger, Fie- 'Guribn Votes in First Israel Election Ralph Watson gel, Holmes and Musa, all staunch disciDles of the UWUL. With the exception of Senator Flegel, the spons ors of the meas ure probably were not extant, or at least wot politically con scious, back ) in the wide - open days when de mocratic candi dates for presi dent arid vice president were in the habit of viein? more i or less strenuously one against the other in the Oregon presidential primaries. That was back before Woodrow Wilson set the democra tic practice of i having but one pre sidential candidate on the party ticket, a practice which was fol lowed by Roosevelt and lastly by Truman with entire and continued success. But the republicans have not been of such ; a placid and har monious mind. One can remem ber back when WendeU Wilkie came out of the east and kicked up quite a disturbance in the Oregon primary. And there have been others, including Mr. Dewey and Mr. Stassen of not so long ago. Now, an inter-party scrap is a mighty fine thing to have around once in a while. It stirs up the animals and starts things rolling along. But it Is not just kosher, or according to the creed of the DWOL, for -the republicans to have a lot of entertainment and not pay for the fiddler, or at least not tell the other side how much inflated currency; was scattered about during the course of the show. ' e ' e So, Senate bill 98 is geared to put a stop to so much republican hilarity being ; spread around on the hush hush. It whittles the candidates for president and vice president down to fit along in the same niche with dairy and food commissioners, inspectors of work shops, superintendents of a water division ,or senators, and makes them come clean - with an item ized sworn statement "setting forth in detail all the moneys con tributed, expended or promised by him to aid or promote his elec tion." Also he is to dig up 'all exist ing unfulfilled promises of every character." , This confession is to be filed with the secretary of state within 15 days after the primary election. When you look under the blanket it Just shows how this DWOL whipsaws the boys on the other side. Here, Mr- Dewey and Mr. Stassen come all the way out west to Oregon and put on a show and spent a lot f jack for bus fare and what not and then have to go write about it a couple of months or so before the national conventions. And all the time aU the democrats have to do is dig up a new picture of Truman and print it in the Voters Pamphlet for free and save up their, simo leons to buy soothing syrup for the Dixiecrats when the conven tion meets in Philadelphia. It Just isn't according to the UN, the BiU of Rights or the FEPC. Senate Votes New Powers For Governor A bill authorizing the governor to regulate electric power distri bution during critical shortages was passed in the senate Friday and sent to the house where quick approval is forecast. The measure was written by Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney, Port land. It would permit the gov ernor to regulate consumption of power through the public utilities commissioner. Mahoney said he introduced the bill because cur rent voluntary conservation of power has apparently failed. Another senate bill passed would allow a component part of union high school district comprising more than 50 per cent of the dis trict's population to have two di rectors on a board rather than only one. The senate also approved and sent to the governor a house bill to permit Multnomah county to take over the Columbia Pioneer cemetery, where more than 400 pioneers are buried. A house joint resolution adopt ed in the senate permits the in come division of the state tax commission to establish temporary quarters in the forestry building. Measure Asks 1200 Yearly Pay For Legislators The second measure of the ses sion to raise legislators' pay was introduced in the senate Friday by Sen. Richard L. Neuberger of Portland. Neuberger's resolution would boost legislators from $8 a day for 50 days biennially to $1,200 a year. If passed it would be referred to the voters as a con stitutional amendment. Neuberger, i n t r o d u cing the measure, pointed out that the present "niggardly pay tends to make the legislature a rich man's club and a happy hunting grounds for lobbyists." The proposed wage is the same now being paid in California. An other bill in the house would boost the scale to $600 a year. f J i yj v i 7 i v V 1 9JTS11 TEX AY1Y, Israel, Jan. 1 David Ben-Garion (right), prime minister of Israel, and Mrs. Ben-Gorton (center) east their ballots in a Tel Aviv schoolroom in the first election of the eight-month-old state.
