bill 274, it passed, would tax all con­
fectioneries, restaurants and grocery
stores 75 cents per ethploye, or a min­
imum of $2 a year to a maximum of
|25 a year for ail .such businesses
outside of Multnomah county. The
amounts would be paid to the state
department of agriculture as an in­
spection fee, and the money would go
to their fund. As if to say that such
businesses in the small towns of Ore­
gon didn't have trouble enough al­

enues and also have a sanitary inspec­
tion system; so why is such additional
legislation necessary, say many of

. State House, Salem, March 4—The
voters of Coos county made an ex­
cellent choice when they elected
Ralph C. Moose,.of Bandon, to tha,
lower house. Moore is one of the,
many freshmen members serving his
first term; however, he has proven
himself a veteran legislator. Seldom
taking the floor to make a speech,
which very often Is the failing of new
members who talk themselves out,
the new lawmaker from Coos county
commands and receives attention of
his colleagues when he has anything
to say. Flanked by that able veteran
of the senate, William E. Walsh, of
Marshfield, who is chairman of the
potent cAnunitlee on revision of laws
and considered one of the outstanding
members of th«' upper house, this duo
know how to gel things done. Moore
is chairman of the important commit­
tee on land use. Veteran observers
of this legislature rate the Coos
county delegation tops.
