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

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

Lowell was hospitalized first at

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.

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. The reason
given for this action by com

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.

mote the wine making industry

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.
