House Defeats
Move to Boost
Vet Loan Base
By vote of 48 to 12, the house
of representatives voted Monday
gainst proposal to allow the
state to loan up to 5 per cent of
its valuation, instead of 3 per
cent, to veterans for farms and
homes. The 3 per cent appropri
ates $30,000,000.
The resolution by ?Reps. Phil
Dreyer and Howard Morgan of
Portland, ; also would have re
quired a two-year residence In
the state rather than a pre-war
residence.
The final vote was along nei
ther party nor veteran lines.
Proponents said passage was
necessary now so that the act
could be referred to the people
in time for the next general elec
tion, and that if such action were
not taken there would not be suf
ficient money to loan before the
next legislature could take simi
lar action.
Opponents said sufficient mon
ey would remain a valla Die, ana
that payments would replenish
the fund without further obligat
ing the state.
Rep. Carl Francis of Daj
read from bonus statutes of other
states which require pre-war resi
dence and said veterans' legisla
tion should be "consistent.'
The 12 "yes" votes were those
of Reps. Adams, ' Brady, Dickson,
Dreyer, Gill, Lieuallen, Logan, J.
Moore, Morgan, Peck, Robinson,
Thomas.

Limitation Sought
On Road Signs
A measure to prohibit construc
tion of advertising signs within
300 feet of any state highway or
county road was introduced in
the senate Monday by Sen. Rich
ard L. Neuberger, Portland.
The bill would give the state
highway commission and county
courts full power over the sign
boards, permitting them to re
move any sign now standing. It
would not affect signs on busi
nesses along the roads.
Ban Requested on
Betting on Races
Outside Oregon
Bookmaking on dog or horse
racing would be outlawed by a
bill introduced in the senate Mon
day by Sen. Phil Hitchcock of
Klamath Falls.
The measure directs all law en
forcement officers to enforce the
proposed regulation which out
laws taking bets on races in other
states.
Another "bookie" bill in the
house would allow the state tax
commission to levy on incomes of
bookmakers.
Pay Fund for
Board Sought
A bill introduced in the senate
Monday would appropriate $500,
000 for the state board of control
to pay state salary deficiencies
during the next biennium.
The measure would make it
unnecessary to call a meeting of
the emergency board if and when
a cost-of-living salary boost is
found necessary.
Postmark Sought as
Legal Filing Time
For State Matters
A bill to ease the deadline for
filing petitions, tax returns and
documents with state departments
by mail was introduced in the
senate Monday by Sen. Jack Bairn
Portland.
It would fix the postmark time
on letters as the official filing
time, permitting persons to mail
material to state departments on
the same day as the legal deadline.
Return of Flax
Plants Given
Senate Assent
A bill authorizing the state
board of control to return from
lands to flax cooperatives in ML
AngeL Canby and Springfield was
passed IB the senate Monday , and
sent to the house.
The lands were deeded to the
state by the cooperatives in 1939
to enable the flax farmers to se
cure WPA funds to bufld flax
plants In the three states.
Sen. Howard Belton, Canby,
sponsor of the measure, said it
was no longer necessary for the
state to retain title to the lands
because the cooperatives have
fulfilled their obligation to the
federal government
He said return of the lands
would eliminate the necessity of
tne state to include the plants
in the restoration fund. It will
also allow the cooperatives to ob
tain loans on the lands and
plants. ,
Although Youngstown, Ohio,
did not have a steel plant until
1892. it was an iron-working cen
ter from its founding in r797.

Bill Proposes
State Control
ForPUDs
A bill to place peoples' utility
districts and cooperatives under
state control was introduced in
the senate Monday.
The utility bill was turned in
by Sen. Austin Dunne, Baker. He
said it is intended to prevent pri
vate and public power, water and
telephone companies from dupli
cating construction of utility fa
cilities in the same territory.
Under terms of the act, any
PUD, cooperative or private pow
er company desiring to erect poles,
lines or other equipment would
have to file a certificate of con
venience of necessity with the
public utilities commission. Only
private companies must now abide
by the regulation.
All requests for new construc
tion would be heard by the public
utilities commission which would
have authority to approve or re
ject them.
Dunne said he sponsored the
measure because he was informed
of duplications of facilities
throughout the state which have
resulted in wasted effort and ex
cessive costs to citizens In the
communities.
Reapportion
Bill Defeated
In Committee
The senate elections and prtvl
ileges committee voted 3 to 2 Mon

by Sen. Richard L. Neuberger,
Portland, to reapportion Oregon's
legislative districts on a popula
tion basis..
Opposing the bill were Sens. An
gus Gibson, Junction City; Frank

against a proposed constitutional
amendment to lower the voting age
from 21 to 18. Neuberger cast the
only affirmative vote.
The senate will consider the ad
verse reports on both bills within
the next two days.
