i r i Tax Suggested On 'Pinballs, Slot Machines Tv1:l3tinn in tax illegal slot ma chines 30 per cent was introduced in the house Monday by Reps. Hen ry Semon, Klamath Fall, and Oil French. Moro. The bill would also levy a 10 per cent tax on pin ball machines or on devices calling for a element of skill. Cima momKors nf the house tax committee immediately expressed opposition to the measure. One member said "It wouldn't look right to the people to tax them now when law enforcement officers are cracking down on them." The sponsors said they were op posed to the machines, but pointed out they are allowed to operate illegally. They maintain the state should collect tax from the oper ations. The same bill was defeated the house by a narrow margin the 1947 session. In tHe Senate In the House VtlltD HB 19 (Hendershoot. McNutt.

The Statesman A warmish debate appears pos sible in the Oregon senate today over Sen. Richard L. Neubergers resolution to raise legislators' pay from $200 to $1,200 a year. The senate elections and privi leges committee, by a 4 to 1 vote Monday, reported the measure out "do not pass." Neubefger, a mem ber of the committee, voted for his resolution and has filed a minority "do pass" report. He will seek to have the senate adopt his report. Voting adversely on the measure after a lengthy discussion were Sens. Dean Walker, Angus Gibson, Frank Hilton and Jack Lynch. Another legislative salary bill introduced in the house by Rep. Lloyd Crosby, Milwaukie, seeks $600 a year for legislators. The committee indicated it would also oppose this proposal. Neuberger told the committee the current pay was "ridiculous." He said the low scale ($8 a day for 50 days every two years) was keeping many worthy persons from the leg islature and described the legis lature as a "rich man's club." Senator Walker said he did not believe the pay scale determined the type of persons in the legisla ture. He pointed out that just as many good men served in the leg islature for $3 a day as for the pres ent S8. Senator Hilton taid the voters of Oregon would be in no mood to vote for a constitutional amend ment to raise the legislature's pay. A favorable popular vote would be necessary even if the resolution was passed in the house and senate. The committee, however. Indi cated it would stamp "do pass" on another bill by Neuberger calling for voter registration by mail. The bill was turned over to State Elec tions Chief David O'Hara for In spection. - The committee set Monday as the date for a hearing on Senator Neu berger's measure seeking a reap portionment of Oregon s legisla ture. 1 i t Henry Semon, are leaving for Klamath Falls tonight to Inspect Oregon Vocational school for which requested appropriation of $1,- 500,000 for the next biennium was omitted from the state budget. Penal System Change Ashed Of Legislature Wide-sweeping changes in Oregon s penal system were called for Monday in a five-point program presented to the Oregon legislature by H. W. Randall, state parole and probation board director. Randall in a report proposed construction of an intermediate penal Institution for confinement of offenders too old for the train ing school and too young for the penitentiary. He also asked for an academic and vocational training program at the penitentiary, increased staff personnel for the probation and parole board, wage Increases for the board and establishment of a full-time parol and proba tion board. He said the board now meets four or six times a month but is unable to keep up with de mands. The board estimated its average case load during the 1941 51 biennium will be 1,500. A full-time parole board would save the, state a sizeable sum of money annually, Randall contended. Too Much Talk, Too Little Action, Walsh Declares Moves to speed the legislative session were apparent both in the senate and the house Monday. Senate President William Walsh. Coos Bay, intimated there had been too much talk and too little action. Walsh told members of the up per house he would be forced to curb unnecessary speaking under personal privilege rules, declaring valuable time was being consum ed with speeches and remarks not pertaining to privileged matters. Rep. W. W. Chadwick, chairman of the house rules committee, warned house members that Thursday was the final day on which bills, other than appropria tion measures, may be Introduced without approval of the rules com mittee "and we are going to be tough." SAFETY MEASURE ASKED Motor trucks and buses would be required to keep 500 feet from other highway traffic, in stead of SOO feet, under a bill In troduced In the house Monday. Memorial for State Officials Set March 1 The senate Monday adopted a resolution to hold a joint legis lative memorial service March 1, at 2 p.m., for seven state officials and legislators who have died since the 1947 session. Quick ap proval is expected from the house. Families and relatives of the deceased officials will be invited to the ceremony to be held in the hfJuse chambers. The service will be held in memory of the late Gov. Earl Snell; Secretary of State Robert S. Farreil, jr.; Senate President Marshall Cornett, Klamath Falls; Sen,, Lee Patterson, Portland; Sen. Merle ,R. Chessman, Astoria; Rep. Earle Johnson, Corvallis, and Rep. John R. Snellstrom, Eu gene. Snell, Farreil and Cornett were killed in a plane crash in Octo ber, 1947, in Lake county. John son and Snellstrom were killed in another plane crash at Lake O The Woods near Medford last summer. Patterson and Chessman died shortly after the end of the 1947 session. Another Measure Asks for Portland Junior College Another bill to establish a jun ior college in Portland was intro duced in the house Monday. It would call for a $1,200,000 ap propriation. A bill introduced previously sought a $2,000,000 appropriation and would bar construction on any other campus in the state until the junior college was op erating. The bill entered Monday was by Reps. Rudie Wilhelm, Jr., and John D. Logan, both of Portland. It sought completion by the fall of 1950. Measure Aims at Statewide Bar To Daylight Time A measure to bar any state, county or city division from using any time but standard time in its laws, orders or regulations was introduced in the house Monday. The measure is sponsored by nearly every representative com ing from a eri cultural areas. The measure would virtually block adoption of daylight saving time throughout the state. Power Sought for Game Commission A bill to give the state game eommmission full powers to deter mine policy, establish bag limits and fix hunting seasons was in troduced in the house Monday. -The measure would also ex pand the commission from five to seven members. The commis sion would have authority over all funds spent to increase and preserve wildlife. Boost Sought in Clackamas Pay The Clackamas county delega tion introduced a bill Monday to increase salaries of Clackamas county officials. The increases would be: County judge, clerk and sher iff, $3,300 to $3,600; commission ers, $9 a day to $3,000 a year; treasurer, assessor, $3,000 to $3,300; school superintendent, $3400 to $3,600; chief field depu ty sheriff, $225 to $250 a month.
