Appointive Attorney
General Sought
By PAUL W. HARVEYMR.
Of The Associated Press
SALEM Wl The Oregon Legis
lature was headed Friday toward
a dispute as to whether the gov
ernor should appoint the attorney
general, who now is elected by
the people.
Sen. Warren Gill, Lebanon Re
publican who heads the Senate
Judiciary Committee, announced
he would introduce such a bill.
The office now is held by Demo
crat Robert Y. Thornton, who has.
had many disagreements with the
Republican state officials.
It couldn't become effective for
two years. The Constitution won't
permit an office to be abolished
during the term.
NO POLITICAL MOTIVES
Gill said he has no political mo
tives in sponsoring the bill. He
said "it is just good business to
let the governor pick his own
chief law officer."
Under Gill's proposal, the attor
ney general would continue to ap
point attorneys for state depart
ments. The House has a bill, by Rep.
Loran L. Stewart, Cottage Grove
Republican, to deprive Thornton
of his power to appoint the de
partment attorneys.
Speaker Edward A. Geary told
his House committee chairmen
Thursday that things have to be
speeded up.
He said he was worried over the
slowness with which bills were
being introduced, and he asked
them to get bills back to the floor
as soon as possible.
FEWER BILLS
Through Thursday, there were
90 House bills and 93 Senate bills,
compared with 120 House and 62
Senate bills at the same point
two. years ago.
Geary also asked the chairmen
to put time limits on speakers at
committee hearings, asked mem
bers of House committees to at
tend Senate committee hearings,
and called for as few closed ses
sions as possible.
Rep. Stewart, who heads the
House Tax Committee, announced
he is asking the State Tax Com
mission to take another look at
its estimated revenues for the
next two years.

sometimes has underestimated
