Imuch more money.

Gasoline Boost
Draws Protest
The United State attorney
general is asked to investigate
the California oil companies in
a memorial introduced by the
senate state affairs committee.
The action, which follows a
similar request by Governor Earl
Warren of California, is the re
sult of the companies' boosting
gasoline prices 45 of a cent a
gallon, and also raising prices
of other oil products.
The committee accused the oil
companies of "entering into ar
bitrary agreements and under
standings for the manipulation
of gasoline and fuel oil prices on
the Pacific coast to the injury of
the consuming public."
It also charged conspiracy.
and said the companies acted
"with apparent disregard for the
public welfare."

U. S. Sen. Cordon

Oregon legislature Friday, as
serting that the legislature and
congress have one thing in common.
Welfare Estimates Cut 4 Millions;
Huge Slash in Relief Rolls Looms
A slash of $4,000,000 in general assistance throughout the state
was decided upon Friday by a sub-committee of the ways and
menas committee, with the result that large groups now recipients
of aid from general assistance?-
Move Killed
H.'J. R. 17, a proposed con
. stitutional amendment which, is
approved, would make possible
; the removal of any state insti
tution from Marion county, was
tabled Friday afternoon by the
committee on state and federal
affairs.
Members of the committee
decided that if members of the
board of control required any
legislation to establish a state
institution or branch at Camp
White, a special bill would be
prepared to cover such a situa
' tion but that it was poor policy
to throw the gates open to legis-
lative log-rolling which mem
bers of the committee predict-
' ed would happen in future leg
islative sessions if the proposed
resolution was adopted and rati
fied. A measure providing for a 60
day legislative session with $10
a day pay for members was pass
ed out by the committee with
Reps. French and Niskanan
"not concurring." The proposal
is in the form of a joint resolu
tion amending the state consti
' tution, and if adopted by the
legislature would require ratifi-
cation by the voters.
No action was taken on S. B.
: 203 providing pay increases for
district attorneys and deputies.
. Rep. Hendricks of Marion coun
; ty, suggested that the bill be
, amended so that district attorn
' eys who engage in outside prac
' tice should receive a salary of
r not more than $3600 and that a
, full time deputy carry on the
principal office work. Mr. Hen
, dricks will prepare an amend-
ment to submit to the commit
" tee at its next session.
; The committee also held up
, S. B. 399 providing for manu
? facture of automobile license
; plates by prisoners of the state
? penitentiary. The committee has
been promised some figures on
j cost of producing plates at the
J Washington state prison and
t did not wish to take action until
these figures were received.

funds must be removed from the
rolls, welfare regulations must
be made more stringent and a
possible cut of $5 a month in
old age grants might result be
fore the end of the .next bicn
nium. The $5 slash in old age pen
sions might result in the near
future, Miss Lola Howard, state
welfare administrator, declared,
if many new persons were plac
ed on the welfare rolls.
After working for almost a
week, the sub-committee agreed
upon a $43,700,000 welfare pro
gram for Oregon during the next
biennium. This is in contrast
with estimates for the next two
years of $51,000,000
It was agreed that the state
would provide $22,000,000 from
liquor receipts; $14,900,000
would be received from federal
grants and counties would be
called upon to furnish $6,800,
000. The committee set a maxi
mum of 4'4 mill levy based on
equalized assessments to be im
posed by counties. With the ex
ception of Lincoln, Josephine
and Multnomah counties, all
counties will be able to meet
welfare obligations with a much
smaller levy, according -to Rep,
Henry Semon, chairman of the
sub-committee on welfare.
Miss Howard told the mem
bers of the committee that in
making a four million dollar
slash it would be necessary to
cut many persons off the rolls.
"It may be necessary for the
commission to eliminate the pur
chasing of care from the state
medical school, but this will not
be done until it becomes abso
lutely necessary."
Chairman Semon declared
that the state could not go be
yond the $22,000,000 figure as
he did not believe that liquor
receipts during the next two i
years would be greater than
this figure and might not even
reach it.
Allan. Brown, chairman of
the Multnomah county relief
administration and George Bald
win, county auditor, told the
committee that Multnomah
county could raise $118,000 to
complete the welfare payroll for
April but that the county was
unable to find $234,000 needed
for the May and June payrolls.
The committee, agreed to fur
nish this sum to the county from
liquor receipts. '
It was brought out at the
meeting that if the sales tax
measure 'is passed with a pro
vision in it to permit use of
funds to meet county welfare
needs, present standards for all
branches of welfare could be
maintained.
Under a new formula the state
will furnish 70 per cent of the
money for all welfare programs
with the counties furnishing the
remaining 15 per cent.
E. L. Pope, Clackamas county
judge and president of the Ore
gon State Judges association
requested Miss Howard to have
several cases in his county in
vestigated where welfare bene
ficiaries owned property and
would not sell such property.
The cases will be checked, Miss
Howard said.
Chairman Semon suggested
that every three months, mem
bers of the various county com
missions go over welfare lists
and check them and thus aid
in removing unworthy cases
from the rolls.
Nod Given to
Timber Tax
The senate forestry commit
tee recommended 4 to 3 Friday
for passage of the house bill to
tax timber 10 cents a thousand
feet to'build up an annual $500
000 foresfry conservation and
research fund.
The senate will consider the
bill next Monday.
Voting for passage were Sens.
Angus Gibson, Junction City,
chairman of the committee;
Merle R. Chessman, Astoria;
Howard C. Belton, Canby, and
Walter C. Winslow, Tillamook.
Voting against the bill were
Sens. William E. Walsh, Coos
Bay; Earl T. Newby, Ashland,
and Austin Dunn, Baker.
Governor Snell recommended
the bill, but he Wanted a 20
cent tax. The house cut the pro
posed tax in half.
60 Days at $10
Meet Favor
The house stale and federal
affairs committee Friday recom
mended passage of a proposed
constitutional amendment which
would limit the length of a leg
islative session to 60 days, and
pay legislators $10 for each day
of the session.
There now is no limit. The
lawmakers now get $8 a day for
the first 50 days, and work for
nothing after that.
The measure was introduced
by Rep. E. W. Kimberling,
Prairie City, and 51 other mem
bers of the 60-membcr house.
Tomorrow will be the 69lh
day of the session, which will
last a week or so longer.
This session will be the long
est in history, the 1945 69-day
session having been the previ
ous longest one.
Reps. Giles. L. French, Moro,
and William Niskanen, Bend,
did not concur in the committe's
recommendation.
The measure would bo sub
mitted to the people in Novem
ber of 1948.
