4-(Sec I) Statesman, SaTem, Ore.. Thurs.. Feb. 21, 57f jSfatfsman, Salem, Ore., Thurs., Feb. 21, '57 (Set D-5 i MOMMY y THI MOSSIHS T At the Legislature , no n r s . . Fall Coverage by the Statesman Statehouse Staff and Associated Press Dropping of State Forest Market Areas Proposed Elimination of state forest marketing areas in Oregon was proposed to the Legislature Wed nesday by Rep. Kddie Ahrens iR, Turner, and three other represents atives. Their bill, introduced In the Move Blocks Historical Society Fund Opposition spearheaded by economy-minded legislators Wednes day blocked House approval of a nill that would give the Oregon Historical Society $99,820 for the next two years. The bill went back to the joint ways and means committee for more study after two Democratic representatives, Clarence Barton. Coquille, and Robert Duncan, Medford, warned against "non-essential "services." Barton, chairman of. the House tax committee, said the society's budget request should stay in ways and means until the state knows how jriuch money it will need for operations in the next two years. u we ao Happen to winq up with some surplus funds," Barton said, "then I'll go along with the' non-essential services." Duncan, a member of the ways and means committee, said he was "surprised and shocked" by the society's request, which is more than double its current "biennium appropriation. Rep. W. H. Holmstrom D, Gearhart, who asked that the bill be sent- back to ways and means, said the major part of the re quested increase was for three ad ditional employes. Reprieve for Dogs Urged . A bill to give a reprieve to Ore gon's unlicensed dogs was passed by the Senate Wednesday and sent to the House. , Under present law, dog catch er in a dog control district can put an unlicensed dog to death , Immediately after catching the dog. .... ..." The bill, by Sen. Daa Dimick (D), Rpseburg, provides that the (dog be impounded for five days before being executed. The owner would have to pay the board bill. Sen. Dimick told the Senate that several dog catchers kill the dogs Immediately. "In Douglas County, where. T live, the dog catcher is something of a sadist. Woe to any dog he catches," Dimick said. He added that the Douglas County dog catcher immediately puts the dog into a small box, and astuects the box with a hose at tached to the exhaust pipe of an automobile. The carbon monoxide kills the animal. House, would -remove the present requirement that timber sales be made only within the local market ing areas, for at least primary manufacture there. Hop. Ahrens said this practice tends to eliminate competition and lower the price paid for the tim ber on state lands. It is similar to the move afoot in Washington, DC, to do away with marketing areas for timber from federal lands, especially the 0 k C revested lands in Oregon. The movement has the support of Marion County Judge Rex Hartley. Sponsors of the state bill, be sides Ahrens, are three Demo crats, Reps. W. 0. Kelsay and Al Flegel of Roseburg and Norman Howard of Portland. A similar plan to change the timber marketing law was defeat ed in the 1955 Legislature, with some of the interest for keeping the marketing areas coming from Clackamas County. Introduction of new bills in House and Senate at the Oregon Capitol Wednesday began to show signs of diminishing after several "heavy days. Among those bills put in yes terday were these proposals: Create a state board of auction eers for regulation purposed. . ' Prevent a guest passenger in an airplane from suing for-personal injury damages, the same as law now provides for guests in autos Create an Oregon fine Arts Commission to acquire " works of art and exhibit them. 17th Street Project Bill Gets Support Salem's .long-range 17th Street arterial project had the support Wednesday of the Oregon Senate's state and federal affairs commit tee. Committeemen voted to recom mend that the Senate pass a bill giving the State Fair Board au- j thority to donate, or exchange land I so the city can establish a street 'through the State Fairgrounds. Salem Planning Commission has worked for some time on a plan tor gradual development of 17th as a north-south arterial, provided it could be continued through the Fairgrounds to Silverton .Road. The route would curve so that ac tual entry to the Fairgrounds would be at lM Street, it Is planned. Salem Chamber of Commerce this week endorsed the plan and urged the Legislature to approve it. Some "opposition has arisen from property owners along 17th Street near the Fairgrounds. The Senate probably will vote Friday morning on the bill. Loan Limit Hike Backed An increase in the limit on state loans made to veterans for homes or farms was endorsed Wednes day by the House military affairs committee. The plan this committee will ask the House to approve calls for $13,500 maximum on homes, a $30.ooo ceiling on farm loans and permission that loans may be made on 85 per cent appraisal value of the security tendered. In a matter of interest to World War I veterans, the House state and federal affairs committee an nounced it would consider at a m. Friday the proposed memor ial to Congress in behalf of the pension plan endorsed by Veter ans of World War I. Prison Curio ' Shop Proposed Proposal for a curio shop for convict-made articles at Oregon State Penitentiary will be made to the State Board of Control dur ing its meeting at 9:30 a.m. today. The board also is expected to give further discussion to a plan ior temporary DarracKS-type ooua Ing at MacLaren School for Boys. Holmes Favors Fair Board End Gov. Robert D. Holmes an nounced Wednesday he favors the proposed legislation to abolish the State Fair Board. Sen. Dwight Hopkins' bill intro duced Tuesday in the Senate would put the State Fair directly under the Department of Agriculture. The governor said he considered this appropriate because the fair should have an agricultural rather than carnival emphasis. It would eliminate a state board for a func tion that can be handled by regu lar state administrative machinery, he indicated. Mrs. Johnson Services Set SUUim.a Ntws t.nrtc. WOODBURN, Feb. 20-Mri.

"The commission has used men of high caliber in every field who have given of their time, in many cases free of charge, to the betterment of all Oregon." Rep,. Cone also criticired the governor's message, saying: "There is not one concrete pro- ment work. Another Republican senator, Ru die Wilhelm Jr., Portland, said ha. didn't see much difference between the present commission or a new agency as proposed, but felt tht governor "should be given tht type of agency be thinks will best do the job." "Perhaps one of the first Jobs for ' this new agency." he said "will be to figure out how we'ean lure new industry to Oregon at the same time that the governor's program calls for increasing our already high personal income and 18; the other at 19. Proponents of 11-year-old voting say they'd go along with the age It limit if necessary. The committee did not take action. Some of the opposition -to 11-year-olds' voting has been ex pressed in relation to school elec tions. Opponents assert that voting age students would tend to follow the choice of their teachers.

'Double Taxation' Claimed Lot of State Employes "State employes are doubly taxed through a partial subsidiza tion of state government," James B. Daniels, executive secretary of the Oregorf State- Employes .Asso ciation, told members of that body here Wednesday. . An analysis of comparable jobs in. private Industry within the competitive labor market shows that state workers are underpaid Support Assuraere Assurances of support in the Senate came from several of the democrat leaders. Senate Presi dent Boyd Overhulse predicted the new setup "should bring good re sults." State and Federal Affairs Chair man Ben Musa, whose committee probably will get the bill when it comes to the Senate, said he con sidered it a sound program .be cause it would have more definite authority than the present com mission has. Gov. Holmes linked the indus trial development program with low-cost power. "Action is urgently needed to expand the basic power supply and to protect Oregon's inherently low power costs." said the governor, "under present conditions, t h e electro-process industries are he ing turned away from Oregon." River Development The new department would work for river basin development, he said, with a multiple-purpose wa ter resource program. "We also need to stress efficient and low-cost inland, coastal and overseas transportation and serv ices," Gov, Holmes stated." He said these things would be needed tn attract capital and in dustrial locations: Improve-1 cred it, suitable land, water supply, basic utilities and services, tech nical aids such as financial data. economic surveys.
