1 4 Page eight THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1925 1 Will Moore, Hate Insurance conimisaiuDer, advised thia atler nuun that Insurance mn of the tate are seeking a legislative Jo TcBtigation ot bis actiun in turn ing over tbe busiueea o( tbe de lunct Coast Mutual Kire Insurance eoninany to Build Jonea A com pany ot Portland (or a reieauaice ot tbe policies, declared tbat be would welcome and aid such an Investigation in every manner pos ible. "Owing to heavy lire loasea tbe Coast Mutual 'ire Insurance com- nany was unable to meet Its ouu aatlona. and It was therefore necessary to arrange some plan by which the losses and other Indebt edness ot tbe company could be paid," said Mr. Moore. "Tbe regular plan would have been to assess all members tnel.' prorata share; with tbe new plan It u, optional with policy holders to either accept a new policy, or pay an assessment In the old com pany. "The first plan suggested was to ask the court to appoint a re rvivar. This woLld automatically have cancelled every policy and left the policy holders without any fire Drotcction until they were advised ot tbe appointment ot receiver and were able to place their insurance with some other enimianv. It would also make much expense, as the organization would have to be kept Intact for the nurposo of levying and col lictinir assessments. This, It wan estimate, wnuli'. amount to $20, 000, all of which would have to be paid by the policy holders. "The other nlan. that of allow ing Mr. ones to ro-writo the In surant gives the policy holders cc itinucil protection. As this in surance is all w:tten at bureau rates It docj not tist the policy bolder any more than insurance In any oth : company. The commis sion Duid by Mr. Jones on this business together with the other assets of the company, will. It all policies are accepted, provido suf ficient funds to pay all legitimate clalniB against the Coast Mutual This was muilo possible through the fact that the expense of a re ceivership is savec'. This plan was bo much better for the policy hold ers than the other that 1 gave It my approval and have not hesi tated to advise every one to ac cept and pay for the new policies.'

To Senator Charleu Hall went the honor of Introducing tho first bill In the upper hou.se, lie object of which i to compel all motor Tehicles to come to a complete hln.i before driving upon any main tato highway. Senator Mall alfo Introduced a bill making the um of loaded act-guns and During-sun." unlawful. The altitude of the lenUlatur.1 toward consolidation la believoJ to le pretty clearly pxpretwed in the joint resolution introduced In the senate by Senator Hall propp ing the creation of a committee consisting one senator, two representatives and two private citiKcna to investigate tbe consoli dation subject and report back recommendations to thu 1D-7 .eg lilature. lienerally it is uuder ttood that tbe proposal 1b an or ganiiatiun measure, and that it represents tl.e dvlro of the bo I mm to avoid the consolidation ques tlon, which was the big disturb ance In the 1923 aeHHion and brought no results. Kvery wiine there le a visibile reluctanco to t e this aeasion up in any such contro versy, despilo the governor's ap parent desire to aecure some legt.t latlon along that line. . House bill No. 4, introduced I Representative Ford, would pivc the etote highway commit. on closer supervlHlon over tbe v'x. tructlon of market roads and ! permit the expeniluro of nmtkt! roads moneys on state bighwttytt. with the apeclfie exceptions of toe Columbia river, Pacific and Ore gon Trail highways. Tbe measure would make It optional with the county courts or boards of county comnilbsionera as to whet Her mar ket road funds shall be expended on atate highways. In tbe construction, of market roade, county couts, or boards of commissioners, would bo called Lpon to name a county engineer for aupervisionary work wuo would be acceptable to the stale highway commission. The engi neer would be required to show not less than two years of experi ence as a practical road builder, If such engineer did not prove competent, his removal could be requested by the highway com mi s aioj . Retail of fireworks would gen eraly be prohibited under noiue bill No. 6, Introduced by Keprc- sentative Coffey of Multnomah Any fireworks, percussion caps or other pyrjtecbmc devices contain Ing chlorate or potaah mixture would be prohibited with tbe ex ception that municipal corpora tions would be permitted to au thorize d splays of fireworks un der proper supervision. Storage of fireworks in whonale quanti ties would alBo be controlled, per mits being required. For viola tions of the proposed law a fine of ten to twenty-five dollars would be levied. House bill No. 3, Introduce by Representative lienuelt would tighten the parole lawa of the state pertaining to convicted mur derers. Under it: provisions, the recommendations of the parole board to which a case may have been submitted by the governor, would be turned over to the su preme court for bearing. The court vould be required to publish notice of the hearing In three newspapers of tbe Btate for four auceesttive weeks. One notice a week would be required. Five juatic 3 would be required at the hearing and any final action would have to be concurred In by the majority. Action of the court in parolo cases of first decree murderers would be final. It grants absolute pardon power nnd the right to d'-duct any part of a Hentcnce to the supreme court. Representative Dennett points out that the pardoning power should bo vested ultimately In a body presumably as far removed from politics or Influence that which sentenced the person whose case Is In question. Senate joint memorial No. 1, by Senator Ititner and Representative Mann, requests the Oregon delega tion I., congress to continue ther ffortfl to obtain federal recogni tion of the Umatilla rapids projoct. Tho legislature of 1923 appro priated $10,000 and the federal government appropriated $50.00' for an Investigation of the project. l his was done and ft report was made. All of the $00,000 txA except $ii000 wu used, and ihe resolution asks that the $f0M. instead of being turned back to t he federal t reasu ry, bo used to continue tbe Investigation. Amended Bonus Bill Defeats Purpose of Act; Changes Asked Members of the legislature are today having their attention pointed directly to the need for closer scrutiny of measures pre sented to them as they face the probpect of having to correct the defects In tbe amendment to the bonus law pawed by both nouuefc during the 1923 session and rati fled by a vote of tbe people in tbe .November election. Attempts of the bonus commis sion to apply the amended law Have revealed that it Is replete Willi jokers, and correction of the do fects is being asked at this session The purpose or the amendment wae to etiend to veterane of the Spanish-American war and women who served in any branch of the army and navy either of the United States or its allies all oi tbe benefits of the bonus act. By reason of the defective phraseology o' the amendment which reads, "female employes of me war department who served In be signal corps of the army cr marine corps, tLose women who were connected with the marine corps are disqualified, because the war department and the marine corpa are separate and distinct branches of tile government and employe of thj marine corns cannot ue an employe ot the war department.

The original law provided tbat tbe service of applicants should be between April 6, 1917, and November 11 1919. The amendment make, tbe dates April S, 1917, to November II, 1918. Persona who served In tbe navy or man 'e corps of the United states or lu allies are not eligible to receive any of tbe benefit, of the bonus law, because of the de r cts of the amendment, while those who served In the army of tne united states or Its allies are entitled to either the cash bonus, or a loan. Relatives of veterans who have died since being discharged from tae service are also deprived of eligibility for a loan. Under the original act these relatives could secure a loan, but the amendment bars tbe relatives ot all except those who actually died In the servic. In one place the amendment ex tends both the loan and cash bonus privileges to veterans of the Spanish-American war, and In An other section re3tricts these veter ans to loans.
