Going to Be Much Letter Writing
By Legislators in Next Two Years
By Margaret Magee '
There's going to be a heap of letter writing done by legislators
in the next two years more than most people do in a lifetime
judging from the amount of personal stationery and envelopes
that has been ordered by mem-
bers of the 44th legislative as
sembly. Seven five senators
and two representatives have
placed orders for 3000 or more
letterheads, while 10 have sign
ed requisitions for from 2000 to
2500.
Taxpayers have to date been
set back $2546.76 for letterheads,
stationery, envelopes, cards and
memos ordered by legislators
nd some employes of the house
nd senate. Senators' orders
have totaled $981.87 and senate
employes, $101.94, for a total of
$1083.81. In the house, repre
sentatives have placed orders
amounting to $1427.78, while
employes' orders total $35.17
with total expenditure $1462.95
In the house.
Lew Wallace Tops 'Em
Making the biggest inroad on
the personal stationery supply
with 5500 letterheads is Sen.
Lew Wallace, democratic nation
al committeeman for Oregon and
high gun of the democratic party
In the state. Close behind with
4000 letterheads are another
prominent democrat, Thomas
Mahoney of Portland and a re
publican representative, Martin
P. Gallagher of Ontario. All
three required more letterheads
than Senate President Marshall
Cornett, who has ordered 3500
letterheads, or House Speaker
John Hall with his order for
2000.
While the pages have not plac
ed orders this year, some of the
employes of the legislature have
with all the invoices receiving
the okay of the clerk In which
ever chamber the order was
placed.
Two color jobs something
that the lawmakers want on
their memo pads are among the
orders, with the state seal in
light blue as a background for
the darker blue heading. The
grade of paper used for personal
stationery brought complaints
from come, according to the state
printer, who on inquiry also re
vealed that he had orders for
steel engraving. None of these
was filled and better bond was
not forthcoming, there being
only one grade. What to print
and what not to print in a letter
head, that Is another problem
for the printer. One legislator
added his profession after his
name (this was removed). While
still another preferred to have
his legislative designation re
moved. None for Carson
One senator, Allan G. Carson
gf Salem, and three representa
tives, J. E. Bennett and John F.
jpantenbein, both of Portland,
and E. Riddle Lage of Hood Riv
er, placed no orders, while one
senator, Lee Patterson of Port
land had a bill for only $7.27.
Three representatives had orders
for under $10 Joe Wilson of
Newport, $4.01; Anna M. Ellis of
Garibaldi, $6.90, and Carl C. Hill
of Days Creek, $9.75.
Senators who signed requisi
tions for repeat orders for letter
heads were: four, Walsh and
Lynch; three, Walker; two Ma
honey; and one Cornett. Dunn,
the governor thinks the state
would be better off by spending
its money on existing institu
tions. To override the veto in the
senate, 20 votes would be need
ed. There were only 18 votes
for the bill when the senate
passed it last Friday.
If the senate overrides, the
house is expected to follow suit.
The bill passed the house Mon
day 46 to 10, or six votes more
than the two-lhirds margin re
quired. , The senate tax committee's
request to increase slate income
taxes for persons with larger
incomes was rejected today by
! the house tax committee.
The community property bill,
, ji passed by the house yesterday
ana seni lo ine governor, has for
its purpose the saving of $14,
000.000 a year in federal taxes
paid by more wealthy Oregon
residents. But it also will cost

The fate of the slate postwar
readjustment and development
commission and the Willamette
Basin commission was in doubt
today after the senate refused
lo approve appropriations for
these twer agencies as long as the
appropriations were contained
with other appropriation items.
So the senate asked its ways and
means committee to bring in
separate appropriation bills for
these two agencies so the senate
can decide whether to kill them
off.
A senate-house conference
committee agreed that the law
setting up rural school districts
should become effective Jan. 1,
1948, the date fixed by the sen
ate. The house had wanted it
to become effective a year la
ter. The law was passed by the
people last November.
