STATE 110UK, SALEM, Ore.,
Feb. H. UP) rossibilit.es of the
commercial fish commission bill be
ing defeated on the floor of the sen
ate without the exercise of the veto
was seen this forenoon when it was
learned that the criginal group of 13
senators opposed to the measure had
been augmented to 14, and that an
other senator was wavering on the
uuostion.
Whether the bill is defeated out
right on the floor of the senato there
appears to be nt least 14 solid votes
to sustain the veto of the governor
and 11 votes are sufficient. . -
House Vote Heavy .
Should the measure puss the senate
the plan is for the house immediate
ly to proceed to consideration of thc
bill and present indications are that
there will be sufficient voles in that
body to enact it and also to pass it
over the executive's veto. Upon it being-vetoed,
jt would be tk-t back to
the senate from which it originated
ami upon the veto being sustained in
that body it would be scut to thc
legislative cemetery. '
The bill was introduced by Senator
Ititner and transfers control of the
fish commission from thc governor to
the state board of control. It will
come up under a special order of bus
iness this afternoon at -:I!0 o'clock.
Kirkwood Bill Up
Representative Kirkwood's bill
transferring the control over the
game commiss'.i.n from governor to
the board of control is also pending
in the senate, it having passed the

over the governor's veto.
The group of Kl in the senate is
expected to sustain the r rnor's
veto f this bill thould it pass the
senate. It is scheduled to follow the
f.sh commission bill.

li n county's tnx levy exceeded the
six per cent limitation as set by tJie
state constitution, according to a de
cision handled clown today by Jurtsre
G. Sivipworth. Thc judge in over
ruling the demurrer filed by District
Attorney John S. Medley in the diso
brought by J. II. Hawley and C. W.
Roy el o!so holds that the levy of one
mill for the purpose of n timber
cruise is n.lo void.
Judge C. 1. Rnrnard of the county
court stated today that the excess
over the six per cent limit will be
approximately $10,000 and that this
will prnhiibly be cut from the road
and bridge item in the county budget.
Although the county has to February
17 to take further legal action In the
tax case present indications are that
the levy will be trimmed to meet the
derision as issued today.
Judge Rarnard in his opinion con
cerning the cut in the budget etates
that this will mean that no appropria
tion for tJie Eugene-Florence road
work will be available this year. Toe
court set ?.'t0,000 for this but cut
$10,000 and now with another similar
cut there will be only $10,000 remain
ing, not enough to enter in co-operative
work with the state on the high
way. The decision fif Judge Skipworth
will alio mean that there will .rob
ably be no timber cruie in Lane this
year.
