EODY BILLS TO
BE REPEALED
An Oregon supreme court decision
of about a year ago holding uncon
stitutional two acts of the 1929 ses
sion imposing a property qualifica
tion for voters on special tax levies
or bond issues caused tlie senate
Monday to pass two senate bills for
their repeal. The repealed acts were
introduced two years ago by Senator
Eddy.
Acting to further guarantee to the
people of Oregon their constitution
al right to vote on all proposals to
levy taxes, which they must help
pay either directly or indirectly,
Representative Nichols and Senator
Schulmerich dropped into the house
hopper Monday morning a joint
resolution to submit to a vote
of the people a constitutional pro
viso that no law may be enacted
to require that suffrage In voting
upon bond Issues or special tax
proposals shall Co limited to tax
pavers. The resolution comes as an echo
to the famous Eddy bills passed
by the 1929 legislature Imposing the
taxpayer qualification upon voters
at bond and tax elections, which
were later declared unconstitution
al by the supreme court.
It also conies as an answer to
re-ports about that legislative halls
that another attempt would be
made at this session to reenact the
principle embodied in the Eddy bills
in constitutional form.
Senator Crawford's bill giving dis
trict court judges the right to in
struct juries parsed the senate with
out opposition. No opposition was
made to Senator Mark's bill pro
viding a method of fixing the in
heritance tax on gifts and devises
that pass to husband and wife as
tenaats by the entirety.
Increased court business caused
by enforcement of the prohibition
law, coupled with the fact that an
Astoria justice of tlie peace em
bezzled bail money in his possession,
gave rise to Senator Franciscovich's
bill increasing the maximum bond
of justice's of the peace from $1000
to $10,000, which passed tlie senate
Monday unopposed. It applies only
districts Uiat Include county
scat towns.
A bill bv Senator Bailey making
tne law coniorm to the state con
stitution relative to the time when
district attorneys shall take office
passed the senate. The constitu
tional date is January 1 Instead of
July 1 as provided by an old statute.

HEAR LONERGAN
ON LEGISLATURE
If the present legislature does not
enact legislation looking toward the
relief of taxpayers, the session will
be considered a failure, in the opin
ion of Frank J. Lonergan, Port
land, speaker of the house of repre
sentatives, who spoke before the
chamber of commerce Monday noon.
The legislators are faced with
difficult task, the speaker said,
since public institutions must be
kept up.
During the course of his remarks
Lonergan mentioned the proposed
laws which in his opinion were the
most outstanding. These included
free textbooks, old age pension,
abolition of the public service com
mission, refunding of the Intangibles
tax collected last year and the
Port of Portland.
However worthy free text books
and old age pensions might be. the
speaker stated these proposed laws
would have to contend with econ
omic conditions as they exist today.
Lonergan predicted the change in
tlie public service commission as re
quested by Governor Meier, would
be ratified in the house, after &
few amendments had been made.
Placing the appointment of the
members of the Port of Portland
in the hands of the voters was ad
vocated by Lonergan.
PRESENT DOG LAW
HELD SATISFACTORY
In response to an inouirv from
the Portland Northwest Collie club
of Portland, Romeo Gouley, Mari
on county representative, has writ
ten the club to the effect that ad
ministration of the present dog law
as carried on by the Marlon county
court is very satisfactory. Oouley
has sent a copy of the letter to the
court,
Gouley states to the club that the
Marlon county court renorts the
law in regard to goats, sheep and
dogs Is now very satisfactory and
effective if properly administered
and that results had are very grat
ifying. "Any county not satisfied with
the law," writes Gouley, "would do
well to investigate Its administra
tion In Marion county."
HEARINGS SET FOR
COMMISSION BILL
The administration bill for abo
lition of the public service com
mission as It now exists and Uie
creation of a one-man commission

BURKE'S REPEAL
BILL VOICED
If Senator Burke's bill for re
peal of lb met requiring certifi
cates of convenience and necessity

competuiua wuh others already oc
cupping Uie Itekl is approved by the
kfislaiuro other supplementary
letiislauon will be introduced to give
small operators the protection that
trie present law Is supposed to give.
This Pennine was ma (is by Burke
Monday to a number ol objectors
to his bill who appeared at a pub
lic hearing.
.loon H. Lewis, representative Irora
Multnomah county and ex -state en
gineer, defending the Burke bill, told
the hearing that sine its introduc
tion a certain power company had
offered to develop power on Des
chutes river and deliver It to Port
land at the cheapest rate hi the
United States. The Burke bul bad
virtually forced tt to make the of
fer, be said, and he declared that
the city of Portland should accept
the offer "without five minutes in
vestigation." The company, ha
stated. Is ready to begin work with
in 30 days and can have power to
Portland within li months.
W. A. Curtain of the Portland
Traffic & Transportation company.
opposing the repeal, said the re
sult of it would be that big oper
ators would enter a field, absorb
the small ones and have a mon
opoly. He said that a bill will be
Introduced to extend the certifi
cate of convenience and necessity
law to truck lines.
B. W. Ellingson of Portland didn't
commit himself on the Burke bill,
but thought that extension of the
act to truck lines would give them
property rights that they could
weave into their rate structure.
Charles E. Wells of Hlllsooro. rep-
resenting a number of Independent
telephone concerns, said that If the
law is repealed the new one-man
public service commission will not
have hcen in office six months un-
til it will be looking for the author
ity tnat would be taken away by
the repeal"
William B. Adams, representing
the Portland Industrial Traffic club.
opposed the repeal as did Charles
J. Shelter, of Portland, represent
ing the motor carrier industry. Ex
State Senator Peter Zimmerman of
Yamhill, representing an independ
ent telephone company, favored It,
while J. P. Lane, owner of a small
power distributing plant at Ctes
well. Lane county, opposed it. J.
H. Woodcock, power man of Mau
pin, and P. A. Mitchell, Lebanon
telephone operators, opposed it.
Walter W. Whttbeck. member of
the legislative committee of a Port
land development club, served no
tice on the senate committee on
railroads and utilities, which con
ducted the hearing, that he would
later ask- for a state-wide Investi
gation of the rates of the Pacific
Telephone & Telegraph company.
His organization is opposed to Sen
ator Bennett's resolution which calls
lor an immediate investigation bv a
special committee of tlie legislature.
RIVERSIDE DRIYE
BEING WIDENED
Two road district crews have lust
been put to work. One of these will
widen tlie shoulders on the River
side drive from the start of the
county pavement Just beyond
Schlndlera dairy to Robert's sta
tion. The widening will not be all
along but will be on all of the nar
row places on the road. Portions
of the road, although paved, are
very narrow due to the embank
ment and fence coming close to the
sides of the pavement. By working
over the ditches and fixing up the
snoumers saier passing places are
to be provided. It is expected his
crew will work for some time, but
men working in it are taken out of
the district exclusively to give addi
tional work In that section.
The second job Is also a job oi
shoulder widening between Liberty
and Rosedale and workers will also
be taken from that section so no
extra men registered for state high
way work will be taken on on thesa
Jobs.
Sheriff Bower and Deputy Burk-
hart are expected to return to Sa
lem Monday night from Crescent
City, CaU where they went Sunday
to take charge of tne Newcomer
brothers, wanted for the alleged rob
bery of a garage at St. Paul last
week. The trip ts being made by
automobile.
