SALEM, Feb. 26. — The 34th
session of the Oregon legislature
Is history today.
The house
and the senate adjourned early
this morning.
During the night session the
senate refused to reconsider the
Tithing bill and that part of
the Governor’s financial program
was defeated.
Finance was the
biggest issue of the session just
ended and action taken includes:
I . Income Tax bill passed; 2. The
decision to submit a proposed
amendment to a six per cent
lim it, which would raise the tax
levying base to >3,000,000 plus
six per cent; 3. Naming June
28 as the date for the special
election- for the people to pass
on the Income Tax and amend
ments.
I f these measures are defeated
then the state finances are Just
where they were before the ses
sion.
The result leaves Gover
nor Patterson free for .a whole
sale slaughter of appropriations
to trim the money request down
to an available revenue. The
governor has 6 days to veto and
indications are that it w ill be
on a wholesale basis.

Message Emphatic
W ASHINGTON, Feb. 26. —
President Coolidge’s veto of the
McNary-Haugen farm relief bill
means that he will have the bitten
opposition for renomtnation if he
seeks another term In the opinion
of many here tonight. But the ve
to message was so emphatic, so
direct and so convincing to many
that the he stile reaction that had
been expected was greatly toned
down. There were signs that after,
thinking It over, many who es
poused .the farm relief bill will
feel quite relieved that the presi
dent stepped in to save them from
harrowing experience with an
untried enthusiastic experiment.
Lowden Organize
It is commonly expected that
the Lowden-Dawes forces will
now organise to oppose the presi
dent’s renomination.
But there
are many here who believed that
the president has strengthened
himself rather than injured him
self by his veto. If he ever
flinched at the political threats
made against him, his message
showed no trace of It. For not
since he went »into the W hite
House has he turned out such a
hard hitting, unequivocal, inces-
«lve document as his farm relief

words that his Yankee vocabulary
