Our Readers
The J7th Oregon legislative assem
bly convened Monday, January 9 and
after quickly organising set about to
tackle problems which the extraor

Holve. There was no change in the.,
organization of either house or senate.
Fred E. Kiddle was re-elected prcul-
deqt of the senate and Earl W. Snell

Con’ try to
usual custom, there was no nieSJCixe

The first act of the senate wan to
adopt a resolution providing that no
overtime compensation : hall be re
ceived by senate eiBploy . but an ex
ception was taken when I.
m voted
to raise the pay of the da.
<-er
from |4 to $5 a day because oi
long hours served.
* Among the first Items of business
tn the house was the introduction of
resolutions preliminary to beer control
legislation.
The legislature has the chore of
reducing expenses below the present
budget and of providing revenue suf
ficient to meet the restricted require
ments of the state.
"Ismc Duck” Plan Up
A resolution for ratification of the
“lame duck" amendment to the fed
eral constitution was received in the
house Monday afternoon.
Abolition of state taxes on real or
tangible personal property wu pro
posed in a resolution introduced, the
plan, if approved, to be submitted to
the people for vote. It is proposed
that all revenue for state purpotes
be raised by other than an ad valorrm
tax.
The first Monday In January fol
lowing the general election is fixed
as the time when members of the
legislature take office by a resolution
introduced. This is to clarify the ex
isting' law and If approved will be

Auto Foe Cut Backed
Annual license fees on passenger
automobiles would be reduced to ?5,
plus a 2 per cent property tax, under
th« provisions of a bill introduced by
Senator Allen. Both the license foe
and the tax wojuld be payable to th«
secretary of state at the same time.
Allen submitted figures showing that
the combined 15 license fee and the
2 per cent property tax would raise
approximately 92,225,»00 annually.
Receipts from the gasoline tax would

of these, by Spaulding, authorizes the
state to borrow 110,000,000 from th«
Reconstruction Finance corporation,
to be loaned to employe« In all line«
of agriculture and industry. The
money would be used In paying
«-ages.
Land Movement Backed
The other unemployment relief bill
was Introduced by Senator L«e and
Representative Beckman and pro
vide« for a "back to the land move
ment.” Lands reclaimed by the stat«
and counties through tax foreclosure«
would be made available to the un

• Senator Lee explained that her pro
posal would provide homes for a large
number of unemployed, restore large
tracts of land to the tai rolls and re
lieve the existing taxation burden*.
The bill carries an appropriation of
>100,000.
A bill by Senator Strayer provides
for rerouting the Baker-Cornucopia
highway.

members of the house to get their
bills into the hopper as fast as pos
sible, so that ths committees could
