Senate District
Breakup Measure
Killed in Salem
By Eric W. Allen, .lr.

Salem, Oo., March 7 tli
"Three way" accident compensa
tion and senate reapportionment
legislation were dead issues in
the Oregon legislature today.
The bills were killed after long,
bitter battles in both the house
and the senate yesterday.
The "three way" bill would
have provided that an employer
must protect his employes in one
of three ways by self insurance,
by common insurance carrier or
through the state accident fund.
The measure (HB232) came to the
floor of the house on a divided
committee report, the majority
"do pass" with amendments; the
minority "do not pass." The min
ority report was substituted for
that of the majority by 38 to 21
vote.
Called Adequate
Minority signers, Keps. Vernon
Bull, Giles French, Manley Wil
son and Phil Brady, contended the
present law was adequate and the
people desire to continue it in
effect.
Under the proposed law, Brady
said, the burden of proof would
be on the injured worker. He
foresaw extensive litigation if the
bill were enacted; said the In
surance companies would teke a
large percentage of the payments
for profit, and- that a state com
mission had never been known to
fail, while there were many in
stances of insurance failures.
"It is almost sacrilegious to
make a profit on the injuries of
others," Brady said, and cited the
"excellent record of the accident
prevention campaign" of the Ore
gon compensation commission.
Rep. John Hall, favoring the
majority report (signed by Reps.
W. W. Chadwick, W. W. Balderee,
E. R. Lage, Carl Hill and Ralph
Moore) said provisions of the bill
had 18 years of experience behind
them, as thewy were drawn large
ly from the longshoremen's and
harbor workers act.
Bill Expanded
The proposed bill would cover
many more people than at pres
ent. Hall said, in both hazardous
and non-hazardous occupations.
Hall said "monopolistic" sys
tems of compensation were not
noted for excellence of safety pro
grams. Manley Wilson denied the con
tention that the Oregon system
is "monopolistic." He asked "how
can it be monopolistic when it is
possible to insure with companies
if an employer decides not to in
sure with the state fund?"
After the defeating vote, the
bill was postponed Indefinitely.
With the reapportionment bill
defeated, 18 to 12, talk continued
that a joint resolution would be
sought to amend the constitution
by vote of the people to create
a new 31st senatorial district.
Such a new district would gave
the Deschutes-Crook-Jefferson-Lake
county area a senator, leav
ing Klamath county by itself.
Leaders of both factions on the
bitter redisricting fight said they

favored the 31st district idea,
which would also serve to avoid
tie votes in the upper house. There
was also opposition to any change.
Two Bills Out
Two liquor bills came out of the
senate alcoholic traffic commit
tee, apparently headed for defeat
on the floor. One was the Nebry
Scrip bill (SB212) to permit pri
vate clubs to pool members' per
mits and issue drinks upon re
ceipt of scrip. It received "do not
pass" recommendation.
The other was the Burke bill
(SB276) to require all fortified
wines to be sold in state stores.
The committee opposed the bill
but voted "no recommendation."
A house fight on a series of
senate alcohol bills was slated as
a special order, of business late
today. The bills (SB's 117, 144
and 145) will come out on divided
committee reports, each report
recommending "do pass", each
with different amendments.
Minority report . signers feel
that the bills increase too dras
tically the powers of the liquor
control commission, while the ma
jority report is in line with the
request of the commission that its
Dowers be increased to provide
fartmore lefficient enforcement tf
the Knox liquor law.

Oregon May Face
Special Election
Salem, Ore., March 7 (IB Two
constitutional amendments will go
before the people, probably at a
special election in June, to estab
lish a definite line of succession
for the governorship.
The bills, SJR 8 and SJR 17,
were given final passage by the
house yesterday.
SJR 8 establishes the line of
succession: President of the sen
ate, speaker of the house, secre
tary of state and state treasurer.
SJR 17 provides that legislators
shall continue in office until their
successors are qualified at a ses
sion following an election.
The measures were drawn
when it was found that there was
no provision for succession in the
interim between the election of a
new, legislature and the conven
tion of the next. .
The house also passed a bill re
pealing an antique section of law
prohibiting the employment of
Chinese on roads and public
works.

mission director, has announced
