Bill Would Curb

In Purchasing

in the house yesterday afternoon
by Representatives North and
Kulili of Multnomah county.
It amends the present law on
this subject, but which applies to
counties of Hfty thousand popula
tion or over, so as to make the
provisions applicable to counties
of ten thousand or over in popu-

years ago were goo'l anrl that trie
litigation carried out. It was for
this purpose, he exj Yilnrd, that the
state land board was asking for the
115,000 appropriation at this time.
Thirty-six thousand acres of swamp
lands in Klamath county he Indi
cated came under this latter head.
The state had also been called upon
to defend Its title to thousands of
av-res of swamp land in the Warner
valley which was being claimed by
riparian owners. Malheur lake
alone, he pointed out, contains
47.000 acres of land worth more
than a million dollars, to which the
state's title had never been made
certain, and .another 10,000 acres
in Silver Lake needed attention to
preserve the rights of the state.
Some objection was raised by
members of the committee to ap
propriating money from the gen
eral fund for prosecuting Investi
gations which resulted only to the
benefit of the school fund. The
school fund, they argued, should
be willing to foot the bill for lac
Investigations. Liljeqvist was asked
to advise the commute as to
whether surh a procedure were
)osstblr under the state constitu
tion If no to draft a bill covering
the point.
When Liljeqvist proposed to pre
sent to the ways ami means com
mittee In behalf of the state land
bonrd, arguments against a bill by
Ryan exempting land and gravel
used In public construction work
from payment of stair' royalties.
Representative Kay objected on
the ground that it would not be fair
to the committee which has this
bill under consideration.
John M. Mann, city commission
er or Portland, appeased bororo
the committee with an offer to turn
0cr the entire plant and equln
nient of (The Cedars, Portland'
detention hoapuai. valued at $55.

state would operate the plant. It
tho state did not care lo accept this
proposition. Mann asked that an
appropi iat iann equivalent to $2.00
per day per Inmate from counties
outside Multnomah county, be
lou.le low aril the maintenance of
the institution. This, it was esti
mated, would aggregate $73,000.
Thru' was no apparent disposi
tion en the part of the legislators
present t accept the offer of the
pMtltUtlon, which. It was agreed,
was now being operated far more
omission would be rectified at (his
session.
Tho committee voted to report
oil! tavorbiy a bill by Senator liell
creating a new state emergency
board composed of seven members
of the ways and magna committee
Including He' senate and houKe
chairman. This removes from the
board tin governor, secretary of
state anrl state treasurer. No re
flection on the integrity or ability
of these officials is Intondod by the
proposed bill, 11 was explained, but
the proposal wis made with a view
to removing from the tax levying
body the money spending bodies,
Arrangements wars made for writ

further defining deficiencies and
providing that no deficiency could
exist where no appropriation had
ever been made.
Senator Hilton's bill abolishing
Ihe emergency board entirely will
come out with an adverse report
from tho OOmmittse, Upton, how
ever, will submit a minority report
insisting that the privileges of the

body as an easy way out of
financial difficulties.
