Pay Increase
In Squabble
As to Date
Some members of the joint ways
and means committee balked Fri
day at a proposal of the Marion
county delegation that the pro
posed $30-a-month average pay
increases for state employes be
made effective immediately, in
stead of July 1, and some of them
declared if the bill were returned
to them they would cut the, ift
crease to $20. ,
The Marion county delegation
was represented by Rep. W. w
Chadwick, who told the commit
tee immediate application of the
measure would require an addi
tional appropriation from the gen
eral fund approximating $65,000.
Sen. Dean Walker moved that
the request to advance the effec
tive date be referred to the was
and means salary subgroup.
"If this salary program comes
back to my committee I want it
understood that I will go on rec
ord for a $20 a month in crease in
stead of the average $30 a month
boost previously recommended.
Sen. Angus Gibson declared. Gib
son is chairman of the salary in
vestigating group.
Gibson said he didn't like the
lobbying carried on by represen
tatives of the employes' groups.
A similar attitude was expressed
by Sen. Austin Flegel.
Members of the ways and means
committee salary investigating
group, other than Gibson, are
Sens. Carl Engdahl and- Stewart
Hardie and Reps. Rudie Wllhelm
and Earl McNutt.
The ways and means committee
recommended approval of - a bill
appropriating $150,000 for pur
chase of land for a state highway
commission office building here.

Family Aid of
Pensioners
To Be Sought
A bill requiring relatives to as
sist with the support of applicants
for public assistance was intro
duced in the house Friday by the
joint was and means committee.
The measure would provide that
husbans, wives, fathers., mothers,
sons or daughters should contrib
ute on the basis of a "relatives'
contribution scale," ranging from
- $15 a month for persons earning
between $195 and $254 a month'
If they have but one dependent,
to $100 a month for those-earning
over $555 a month. The $100
would be the maximum and is re
duced in proportion to the number
of dependents.
For instance, a person earning
$555 would pay $100 if he had but
one dependent but $20 if he had
30 dependents. A person with two
dependents would not be forced to
contribute unless his earnings ex
ceeded S255 a month).
The "earnings" per month
would be figured as one-twelfth
of the annual net -income after
federal taxes.
The bill provides that a married
daughter would not be forced to
contribute unless she had suffici
ent separate income. ,It also pro
vides that a recipient of public as
sistance, by accepting such assist
ance, thereby consents to there
covery of money from persons li
able under the proposed law. In
"unusual" cases the liability of the
relative would be less, at the dis
cretion of the public welfare com
mission. ;
Failure of relatives to make re
quired contributions would, not be
grounds for denying or discontin
uing state assistance to needy per
sons, but the state could take ac
tion against them if the recipient
did not

House Refuses
To Consider
Curb on Labor
A move to re-consider a bill
repealing the state law requiring
secret labor elections was defeat
ed in the house Friday.
The bill (HB 99) was beaten
Monday when the house" voted
29 to 27 on a motion to substitute
a minority do-pass committee re
port for the majority do-not-pass.
The 29 votes were in favor of
the do-pass report but it did not
comprise a majority (31) of the
house.
The motion to reconsider the
measure Friday was made by Rep.
Paul Geddes of Roseburg, who
said he was opposed to the bill
but considered that due to con
fusion in the original voting the
proponents were entitled to a new
chance.
The refusal to re-consider was
by a vote of 35 in favor to 24
against. It would have taken 40
votes (two-thirds of the house) to
have brought reconsideration.
