WHAT IS DOING IN LEGISLATIVE SESSION
TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1025
CUT SALARY OF
JUSTICE NOW I
A second bill to abolish the fe
ay stem ol paying the justice of
the peace in the Salem district
and place that officer upon a tint
salary of $2400 a year made its
appearance in the legislature yes
terday afternoon when Kepre.iiuit
ative McCaHttiter presented house
bill No. 61.
The bill would allow the Justice
$100 a month for clerical help oad
$50 a month for rent, and wouli
require an accounting for all fofs
collected except those received for
performing marriage ceremonial.
That the bill will not meet with
the approval of the grange, which
caused the Introduction of a less
generous bill in tne senate list
week, is a foregone conclusion.
A third bill, establishing the
salary of the justice at $2400 a
year and making hte court a dis
trict court of record similar to
those in Multnomah county la be
ing drawn and should make its ap
pearance sometime during tuc
week.
LAW TIGHTENED
The law relative to liens on
crops for irrigation water turnisb
d would be tightened up by a bill
Introduced today by Senator David.
The bill provides that the per
son or concern furnishing the
water must, within 40 days after
the water is furnished, or wituin
40 days after the close of the Irri
gation season, file with the county
clerk a claim containing a true
statement of tho acocunt due ifier
deducting all just credits and off
seta, the date when the water w&s
first supplied, the name or the
owner of the corps and the name
p! the person to whom the water
wag furnished. Also a description
of the lands would be required.
The claim would be verified by
the oath of some person having
knowledge of the facts.
Strict Regulation
And Heavier Taxes
For Busses Sought
Due aud truck lines operating
in Oregon wolud be placed under
the public service commission and
supervised in about the same
measure as railways under haute
hill 59, introdmed by Representa
tives Oakes of Malheur and Swan
of Linu yesterday afternoon.
The measure, if passed, would
place the bus and truck lines lin
ger virtually the supervising regu
lations an the rail operators. The
bill fixes rates paid to the Ute
for use of its highways on a basis
of mileage, veight and with rela
tionship of cost to the small car
owners. It would mean a total of
between 10 and 15 per cent tax on
the gross income of bus and truck
lines, according to Swan , who
points out that the smallest rail
road of the state pays around 4
per cent In taxes.
The commission under the
measure wo-ild require that per
mits be taken out for definite
routes. Thes? routes would have
to be served as per the specifica
tions of the permit. This particu
lar provision reflects an expressed
wish of the bus and truck opera
tors who have frequently charged
that temporary operators frequent
ly rush into take the cream of
business at certain seasons.
Permits would be granted tor
periods of not more than four
years, but the eould be renewed.
The public service commission
would require regular reports and
payments of fees. Penalty of 25
per cent would be assessed for fail
ure to report.
Public liability bonds would be
required, amounting to $1000 for
each passenger seat. Ron (Is would
also be required for protection of
freight shipments.
The anual charge for operatim
would be turned over to the stat
fur highway maintenance and con
struction. These charges would
be as fololws:
Passenger carriers, pneumatic
tires, mill per seat multiplied
by the number of miles traveled
over paved highways; 1 mill for
travel over unpaved roads.
Passenger carriers, solid tires, 2
mills per seat multiplied by miles
traveled over paved highways
I 1-3 mills per seat for distance
traveled over unpaved roads.
Freight carriers with pneumatic
tires, -cent per ton capacity
multiplied by miles traveled ever
paved highways; Vj-cent per ton
distance traveled on unpaid
roads.
Freight carriers, solid tires, 1
cent per ton capacity multinnlied
by distance traveled over paved
nignvays; -cent per ton for dis
tance on unpaved roads.
Combination rates are provided
ror in cases of combination ve
hicles. Railroads operating bus and
truck lines would be required to
keep these accounts separate from
their rail business.
Expenses of enforcing the pro
posed law would be derived from
the general Income under it. Nine
ty per cent of the balance received
would be distributed as follows:
Three-fcurths to the state high
way fund; one-fourth to be paid
by the secretary of state to coun
ty treasurers in proportion to th
amount of license fees received
from each county.

HOUSE BILLS
SENATE PASSES
I
VETO OF PIERCE
By a vote of 27 to 3 the senate
passed over the veto of Li over nor
Pierce the Dunn bill of the 1923
session, exempting from the In
heritance tax assets left to chari
ty. The bill particularly applies to
the estate of one million dollars
left by the late Bernard Daly to
be us i'd In the educatio nln the
state's institutions of higher learn
lng of worthy students from Lake
county.
Under the existing Inheritance
tax law estates left to established
charfiiea are exempt from taxa
tion, but estates-establishing new
trusts for charity are subject to
the tax, when In the case of the
Daly estate would amount to ap
proximately $200,000.
Senator Upton, speaking in be
half of the bill, said thai at the
present time there are 45 students
from Lake county attending the
university, agricultural college and
the normal school.
White indicating to some extent
the governor's strength in the up
per house the poll of the senate on
this bill is not to be looked upon
as a test vote, because of the
charitable and educational fea
tures Invllved. The roll call show
ed Eddy, La Follett and Strayer
the only negative votes.
Consideration of the veto
brought forth the first burst of ora
tory of the session with Senator
Eddy taking tbe floor In defense
of the veto, declaring the bill to
be wrong In principle, and Gar
land, Ritner, Butler and Taylor
defending Its provisions. Senator
Garland said that nowhere In the
governor's veto message could be
find any logical connection between
the veto and provisions of the bill.

The fact that a person was
armed with a revolver or pistol
and did not have permit to carry
the same would staud as prima
facie tvidence ot intend to com
mit a felony iu cases of a defend
ant on trial for the commission uf
a felony under house bill 63, in
troduced by Lonergan, Multno
mah county. The bill also pro
vides for strict licensing uf deal
ers. No unnaturalized person, or one
having been convicted of a felony,
would be permitted to obtain im'-
chase permits. Lonergan explains
that the measure, designed as a
curb on lawbreakers and as a pro
tective measure for innocent per
sons, does not infringe on target
shooters and others legitimately
possessing and using firearms. In
fact, the measure is one approved
and sought in other states by tho
United States Revolver association,
according to Lonergan.
A study of traffic condition and
regulations thereof with the view
ot cutting down the heavy auto
mobile accident toll each year is
the object of Joint house resolu
tion No. 4, introduced by Graham,
Washington county. A committee
of two representatives ,one sena
tor, the secretary of Btate and tho
chief Inspector of the state traffic
division, would be named to study
the matter and make recommenda
tions. . Office hours of county offices in

follows In house bill 67, Intro
duced by the Clackamas delega
tion: From 8 u. m. to 6 p. m .on
all days except Saturday and legal
holidays. On Saturdays the hours
would be from 8 a. m. to 1 p. m.
The house committee on assess
ment and taxation, reported favor
ably on the bill Introduced by the
Multnomah delegation providing
for repeal of the 6 -mil I taxation
limitation covering districts of
more than 100,000 population.
already betn prepared for 1923 and I
Helgerson was requested to have
them prepared for 1924. These
will show the amount in fines and
the number of prosecutions In
each county for which the prohibi
tion department Is responsible.
Cleaver at first objected to pro
ducing his records or giving the
names of his agents without the
consent ot the governor, declaring
that the governor is head of the
department. But he was Informed
by Chairman Garland that the
committee would get ' them any
way. Cleaver said he would co
operate in any way he could.
IVMing AttHatto
Cleaver declared that his report
was his opening statement in the
prob9. Relative to this he was
severely quest icned by Senator
Hare, who almost tangled the
commissioner In regard to money
paid to operatives In the counties.
but Hare later explained that he
was simply fruiting out the mental
attitude of Cleaver as to his will
Ingnes to cooperate. Asked If he
had any suggestions as to proced
ure. Cleaver said he didn't think
a discharged and discredited em
ploye of his department should be
considered a competent witness.
He was told by Uarlan-1 that these
would be heard, but that the com
mltteo would decide as to their
mental attitude toward the com
misaioner.
Governor Pierce told tho com
mittee he wanted the most care
ful Investigation to be made, as
sertlng that "we have nothing to
hide." He promised a full account
ing of his $4000 secret fund, al
lowed by appropriation. Governor
thorities, so that their wires arc
often crowed. Cleaver, said Hel
gerson, Interprets the law as plac
ing the burden of cooperation up
on the local officers, that Is re
quiring local officers to cooperate
with the state department but not
the state department with the lo
cal officers. Cleaver corroborated
this statement. Helgerson defend
ed the reluctance ot Cleaver to
make known the names of all his
operatives. "I wouldn't like to give
you the names of all the men I
pay In Polk county," he said.
"Homo of them are moonshiners,
who from professional Jealousy
squeal on other moonshiners."
Helgerson opined that Cleaver
Hhould notify the district attorney
of any county Into which he Is
sending his men. Governor Pierce
asserted that this could not be
done in alt cases, citing Grant and
Klamath counties as instances In
which it would absolutely have
tied the hands of law enforcement
to do so. Mr. Cleaver said he had
several times been requested by
sheriffs not to notify them for the
reason that It would upset their

OPEN PROBE
OF CLEAVER'S
DRY BUREAU
(Continued from Page One)
and numerous suggestions were
mads and some difference of opln
Ion arose as to how the body
sould proceed. Senator Johnson
stood alone for sending broadcast
throughout the state a call for any
one who had any charges to make
against the prohibition department
nnd then listening to the represen
tatives of the prohibition depart
ment and giving them a chance to
refute. All other members of the
committee were for first getting
the records from Cleaver, and ho
was ordered to produce these
forthwith.

Checks For Herwig
Pierce was asked if Herwig was
a salaried employe ot the prohl-1
bltlon department, and replied in
the negative.
"I don't want to be misunder
stood," he said. "You will find two
checks made out to Herwig, but
theso will be explained."
There was some air of mystery
about this, for Garland replied:
"1 don't think it would be for
the good of the ncrvice for those
checks to be diacussed publicly."
After Johnson hat made his fight
for a different procedure. Repre
sentative Lonergan and Senator
Hare took a stand for production
of the records first, and Senator
Butler called the committee's and
the public's attention to the fact
that the probe was not a prosecu
tion and that Cteaver and his as
sociates were not In the position
ot defendants.
Helgerson Testifies
District Attorney Helgerson of
Polk county was questioned at
length. He said the district at
torneys of the state had made no
charges against Cleaver. He de
plored the reading of the state pro
hi bit ton law, which he said, divides
authority between the prohibition
commissioner and the county au-
plans completely If a state agead
appeared at the sheriff's office.
Ihe governor's attitude on this
question was defended by Repre
sentative Fltzmaurlce.
