Sen. Jack Bain, Portland demo
crat, told fellow senators Thurs
day he would continue to use his
state-printed stationery to corre
spond with his party's precinct
committeemen throughout the
state.
Speaking from the floor. Bain
answered Rep. Raymond Coulter,
Grants Pass republican who ac
cused Bain in .speech in the
bouse of wasting state money to
wifle political letters.
"I have a right to advise pre
cinct workers on what we are do
ing down here," Bain said. "It's
my own state stationery, and I'll
pay the $24 postage for the letters
myself .
Bain charged the legislative
highway interim committee spent
an exhorbitant sum ($105,000) to
print a report on its proposed
highway building program. He
also rapped the expensive .bien
nial report of the state highway
commission which was placed on
legislators' desks Thursday.

Plan Calls for
Probe of State
Welfare Setup
A joint resolution creating an
interim committee; with authority
to conduct an investigation of the
entire state public assistance pro
gram, involving its financial an
gles, was approved by the legis
lative joint ways and means com
mittee Thursday.

two members of the senate and
three members of the house,
would hold an organization meet
ing prior to July 1 of this year and
file its report with the legislature.
An appropriation of $2,500 to de
fray costs of the committee was
provided.
Rep. William Morse said he did
n't know whether appointment of
the committee would do any good
but believed the action was jus
tified.
Senator Austin Flegel declared
that while he was in sympathy
with the public welfare program
he was of the opinion that the in
terim committee would have a sta
bilizing effect.
Rep. Henry Semon said he fa
vored better coordination of all
state departments.
Committee approval was given
Dili carrying an appropriation
of $113,000 for purchase of land
by the state highway commission
here for construction of an office
building. The proposed structure
would cost between $1,300,000 and
$2,000,000, with the highway com
mission also contributing $37,000
or its funds for landscaping pur
poses.
, Highway department officials
indicated that bonds would be is
sued for construction purposes to
be repaid over a period of approx
imately zo years.

Abolition of
Pari-Mutuel
Law Sought
The house controversy over
horse and dog racing became even
more snarled Thursday when the
state and federal affairs commit
tee recommended outright repeal
of all pari-mutuel betting in Ore
gon. I
Committee members said they
were weary of listening to a two
month wrangle between horse and
dog racing interests over who
should have the best racing dates.
I The committee became irritated
Thursday morning when the house
voted to send a proposed dog-horse
race bill back to committee for
specific changes.
The measure - - a product of
several weeks work by the com
mittee would have increased the
horse and dog breeders' take from
pari-mutuel receipts from 12 j to
IS per cent, doubled the state tax
on betting, and limit dog and

Thursday afternoon, however,
the house voted to reconsider its
earlier decision, and sent the bill
back to committee without defin
ite instructions to amend. Propo
nents said the increased tax would
boost the state's take even with
shorter meets.
Should the legislature outlaw
dog and horse racing county fairs
and other expositions would lose
their benefits from the pari-mutuel
receipts. Most of the funds are
used to support the fairs and expositions.
