Oregon House Group Passes
Measure on Liquor Revenues
By K.ldon Barrett
(UniU-d I'rtKH Stuff CorruKponilont)
Salem, Ore., Feb 11 itl'i The
house Wednesday overwhelming
ly passed and sent to the senate a
bill to divert liquor revenues to
the general fund.
The measure carried 55 to 3
with Reps. Giles L. French, H.,
Moro, L. C. Lieuallen, R., Pendle
ton, and J. F. Short, R Redmond,
voting no.
The Rep. I,ylo Thomas, R Dal
las, who was e&sponsor with Rep.
Carl Francis, R., Dayton, sulci
passage of the bill would he "a
step in the right direction."
It is one of several bills to erase
the practice of earmarking reve
nues lor special purposes.
State liquor profits now are set
aside for welfare purposes. If this
measure passes the senate and is
approved by the governor, wel
fare needs will be paid out of the
general fund. Gov. Douglas Mc
Kay has advocated legislation of
this kind.
Two other important anti-ear-
marking measures in the house
tax committee would place future
revenues from corporation and
personal income taxes in the gen
eral fund. This money now is re
served to offset property taxes.
Meanwhile the senate was em
battled in a fight over a memorial
calling on congress to repeal the
Taft-Hartley act.
A motion to gel the bill from
the senate labor and Industries
committee, where it had been
tabled, was approved l(i to 14,
when Sen. Jack Rain, D Pott-
land, moved for a recall.
The committee had tabled the
bill by a 3 to 2 vote.
J he house today killed a bill
that would have closed beer tav
erns on bundays. The vote was
to 5. The measure was sponsor-
eel by Rep. Joseph E. Harvey, R.,
rortland, at the request of the
Women's Christian Temperance
union.
