G4) The property tax relief comminaloD, which litis prepared a program of tax re formation for this season of the lefria lature, is to be checked up in the matter of Its expenditure. before the ways and means committee decides to uourove ua Dill or some su.uuu. When this fifrure was made known at the committee meeting last niifht theer was cou Hide ruble murmuring, d some auestioniutf as to what au thority the committee had to increase Its nu-mbersnin from trie live provid ed by the legislative resolution two years ago to more than 80 members. bene tor Jones and itepresentauve Collier and i'otter were appointed a sub-committee to investigate. tieuutor Bell, though be believed the committee's expenses were reasonable under the circum stances, wired that the committee discourage activities 15 1 woe n legislative sessions by special committees from only one bouse of the legislature. Labor Bill Flayed llepresentatives Norvell, Smith, Weatliertspoon and rotter and sena tors iStruyer and Jones ut tucked the bills designed to make the state labor department self-supporting. (Jne bill would increase the license tee of mas ter plumbers from jf to another the license of electrical dealers from $5 to and another would provide for a boiler inspection fee of $ft and uufired pressure vessel inspection fee of $2. Norvell said he couldn't see the jus tire in a plumber doing $1000 worth of business in a year paying the sume fee as one doing a $50,000 business, lie fuvored a gruduuted scale. He pro -seiilULive'cjiiuth of Alvrion county op posed the bills in principle as build ing up beureaucrucy, "The license proposed Is more in the interest of the bureau than of the people paying the fee," said Hniith. Representative Angell, chairman of a sub-committee on the bills, had rec ommended thut they be introduced as committee measures. To this Senator Ntrayer objected, declaring he wanted to examine them persouaJly before de ciding whother he would support them. Representative Potter was of the same opinion. Representative VVenthersjuoon branded them as sub terfuges, but Senator Jlell defended them, declaring that professions gen erally want to be regulated. Senator Jones made a motion that caused them to be tabled until jopiea could be furnished the membera of the com mittee. No Appropriations The committee did not nasi on any appropriations. Dr. Frederick 1L Btricker, secretary of the state board , of health, appeared for that office, which asks an appropriation of $06, 040, also for the state bureau of miming and child hygiene, which seeks $24,000. Ir. Btricker told the committee that Oregon has the lowest child death rate in the United States, but that preventable diseases cost the state (40,000,000 annually. J. I). Mlckle, state dairy and food commissioner, who hopes to make his department self-sustaining by a fee Imposed on rests urn Jits, estimated that a $10 fee would raise $U&,0U0. Representatives Angell and Smith and Senator Kiddle were appointed as a sub-committee to work with Mlckle In preparing the bill. A aub -commit tee headed b Rep resentative Steward reported on state -aided baby homes In Portland. All were given a clean bill except the Waverly home where It la said that many babies were sick, and that one of the nurses Informed the committee that a fire would be sure to cause loss of life. Ijack of help at the Insti tution was blamed mainly for the con dition. A resolution was introduced yesterday asking the state fire mar shal to inspect the home. The management of President J. 8. Landers of the (Monmouth normal school was lauded by a sub-committee headed by Representative Smith that visited the school. The expenditure of funds was Judicious, the committee said. It found a serious need of more cIilhs room, and recommended higher tuition fees for non-resident students. The same committee pointed to needs at the University of Oregon, par ticularly the need nf an Infirmary.

HOUSEWIVES' N0TE l.NM. , re., . thl eoiiiietition at Kiirhilan hi rnaVins a boy', walntroat from lh, itf 01 a pair of di.isrded trousers EFFORTS Oil BILL SALEM, Ore., Jan. 30. p Sen ator Joe Dunne of Multnomah and Columbia counties told the senate roads and higii.vii.VH comim ur. ,. terduy just what he think of the leglHlature and of ft citizen's efforts to aceomnliKh anything by being a member of It. Dunne, who Is e member of the committee, wanted ft favorable report on the Me taker and Ilobison house concurrent resolution directing the state highway commission to widen the lower Columbia river highway. "I am Columbia couuty'a only rep resentative In the senate," said Dunne, "and I wuut to get this reso lution adopted." "Never mind, Joe," said Senator Kiddle, "you'll be re-elected anyway." "That's all the good it will do me," Dunne retorted. "A man wastes his time coming here. It's just like a boy spitting ugninut the wind. It all blows back on him and musaes him all up." Over Dunne's proteat the highways committee voted to take all measures that direct the highwuy commission to do certain things and consider them later at one time. Dunne is also making a fight to ge Multnomah couuty'a share of the state market road fund all turned over to that county. In the ane-mill- market road law there is clause In cluded particularly to keep Multnomah county, because of Its much higher as sessed valuation than other counties, from receiving too great a Bhare of the fund. This provides that no county in any one year shall receive more than 10 per cent of the total one-mill levy In the 8 Late. All over that amount Is apportioned among other counties. Multnomah is the only county to which the provision ap plies. Dunne got little encouragement from the other members of the com mittee. He said he would draft the bill anyway, and there was a tentative agreement between h'im and Senator Klepper that ft would be made a Multnomah deleRatlon bill. Senator Klepper will prepare a bill thut- would make available to the nub ile the information contained on motor vehicle accident reports filed with officers and sheriffs.
