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.

"There is not one concrete pro-

Another Republican senator, Ru

'Double Taxation'

"State employes are doubly

here Wednesday. .
An analysis of comparable jobs

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
