10 Capllnl Journal, Salem, J Your Legislature The Forty - as jjpj C. K. i it Right But Wrong Standing upon the rights guaranteed him by the state constitu tion but without regard to other members of the house. Represen tative M(ule) James Gleason, Portland democrat, gave vent to his spleen and produced a spectacle seldom seen in the Oregon legislature. By standing pat he has managed to slow down the le gislative machinery by personal - oerversitv and takes a stand ! that in boyhood would have re suited in a quick trip to the woodshed. The Oregon consti tution does not provide a legis lative woodshed for stubborn members. By demanding that every bill be read section by section, he was beyond reach of legislative action, though Speaker Eugene E. Marsh sought at the opening of the Tuesday morning session , to obtain a change of attitude. After Representative Gleason : injected his usual remarks when the first bill came up for final passage, Speaker Marsh said: "Represcntative Gleason, do , you request the bill be read, i or do you demand it?" "I demand it be read, section by section." came the reply. His position did not change after Flax Competition Urged by Ritchey Improved varieties, improved of those which total as many as farming practices, improved ma- I 100 printed pages, chincry which would reduce ' costs, improve quality and in- ' Captain today, sergeant to crcase yield are factors neces- j morrow and just mister there sary for valley flax farmers in after is the case of Dnw Lovell, meeting foreign competition, I sergeant at a r m s in the Glen Ritchey of Forest Grove i h o u s e, who Thursday, as told members of the Willam- j a Washington birthday ette Valley Flax Fiber associ- ! present, will receive full phy ation at its afternoon session at ' sical retirement from the army, the Chamber of Commerce ; Lovell, as a first lieutenant, was Tuesday.

(L , .",",'!' ,y I Ore., Wednesday, Feb. 21, 1945 1 third Session seen by Logan While the constitution pro vides that a bill he read in this manner, legislative procedure for many years has been to read it by tit le only, thus ex pediting legislation by taking a short but legal cut which has met with approval of all mem bers. The house, when neces sary, goes into a committee of the whole, with the speaker calling another member to the chair, and then reads a bill section by section for the pur pose of making proposed amend ments, After everyone is satis field, the committee dissolves and the speaker pro tern reports its findings to the speaker, who has returned to his chair. Representative Warren Ir win, Portland democrat, sug gested that the procedure under which Representative Gleason was proceeding was "inhumane treatment," and that the read ing clerk be provided with one or even two assistants. Read ing Clerk Dick Wilson was for tunate in that all the bills at the time were short and none in the South Pacific until seri ously wounded in action at Sala maiifi, .Inly 20, 1R43. Captain Lowell was hospitalized first at Port Moresby and later in Sid ney, Australia, being returned to the United States in October, 1043. Since then he received hospitalization at both the Barnes General hospital at Van couver and the McCaw General hospital at Walla Walla, Wash. Final recuperation after hospital discharged was obtained in Sa lem and his present duties are the first actives ones he has been able to perform since he was wounded. "The governor's legal adviser has found a tiny gnat in the soup" was the way Senator W. H. Strayer, Baker, explained a ODOt 30I 1 Shop WOODROW'5 for UNPAINTED FURNITURE Chests of drawers, bany chests, end tables, wail shelves, linoleum top desks, bedside chests, twin beds and bunk beds, plate mirrors.

He dis counted the executive's objec tion to releasing a bill to either house without joint action of the two branches. The joint resolution, passed and sent to the house, amounts to an agree ment between the house and senate and is expected to over come objections. Printed invitation received from Wendell Webb, of the Ore gon Statesman: "The managing editor of the finest morning newspaper in Salem invites the working press and their ladies, of the 43rd legislature, to a bit of victuals and cocktails (with or without) at 520 Rose street, from 5 to 7 p.m., on Friday, Feb ruary 23.

Deadlock Probable in Legislation on Liquor By Harry Crain With the Burke bill imposing more drastic restraints on the sale of wines, both natural and fortified, still bottled up in the senate alcoholic affairs committee, the liquor commission's five- bill program for strengthening' its enforcement powers decor- I ating the table in a house com mittee, and the house judiciary committee's so-called "appeal" measure reposing peacefully in j the senate judiciary commit- tee, there are strong indications that a deadlock has been reach ed in the matter of liquor le gislation which may endure through the session. And no one except the liquor commission is losing much sleep over that prospect, un less it be certain lawyer mem bers of the house who are de termined to move heaven and hell if necessary to secure en actment of the "appeal" bill. Appeal Bills Is Key That particular bill, which would set up the right of ap peal to the courts from orders of the commission refusing, suspending or revoking liquor licenses, is the key to the whole tangled situation. A similar bill passed the house in 1D43 but was smothered in a senate committee. This time it was again passed by the house and sent over to the senate, but not until after the five bills em bodying the commission's pro gram had been received from the senate and stowed safely away in the house alcohol com mittee on February 2. All attempts to dynamite them loose from this committee have failed and yesterday the com mittee anchored them even more securely by voting to lay them on the table.

IVIontgomery Ward 155 N. l.ihertv St. Long Debate Kills 2 Bills Bills to allow organization of mutual benefit insurance asso ciations and to create a five-man state board of opticians were dead today after the senate had spent an entire day on the two measures. The insurance bill was killed 16 to 13 after a three-hour de bate, in which opponents charg ed that the mutual benefit com- panics are not sound. The opticians bill drew the fire of senators who objected to setting up another state board. A compromise of the milk pas teurization issue appeared pos sible today after representatives of producers and distributors in dicated they migh; settle on a proposal to remove Bang's dis ease infected cattle from herds, but continue to sell milk from the disease-free cows in the herd. As the bill now stands, raw milk could not be sold from mitteemen is that the commis sion's enforcement powers arc already adequate, if they were properly utilized a sentiment widely echoed in other quar ters. At the same time an un- ; derstanding prevails in the le- gislative atmosphere that the commission program might be released by the house commit tee should the senate pass the appeal measure. Burke Short on Support j So far Senator Burke has not j been able to muster sufficient j support for his bill to restrict the sale of all fortified wines, j regardless of alcoholic content, and all imported natural (table) i wines to state liquor stores and agencies, to justify an effort to get it out of committee even with a prospective adverse ma- ' jority report.

The1 house already has passed a sim- i ilar bill. i The committee rejected a bill ! to allow the state superintend- ' ent of public instruction to hire a school plant specialist to give advise on buildings and financ- j ing to school districts, and the' committee reversed its previous action to put the state blind 1 I trades school in Portland under the state board of control. Governor Sncll submitted a bill to strengthen the state's al- .ent property law, asserting it is a it.-... uj me ri-ct'm army or der allowing Japanese to return to the west coast. Action in House Against Liquor Board The house alcohol control committee voted Tuesday to table the state liquor commis sion's bills to make more effec tive the commission's efforts to close bootleg liquor joints. The action almost certainly killed the bills, which had pass ed the senate. The measure pro vides stiffer penalties, and al low confiscation of property in the illegal establishments. Also tabled was a commission bill to make more definite the commission's authority to ration liquor. A ciriuit dourt deci sion upholding that authority now is on appeal to the state supreme court.
