Another Message Continuing issuance of special mes sages. Governor Meier sent a com munication to the senate and house Mnday in which he discussed mort gage foreclosures and the operating of the small loan concerns. He urged leglislation to give the mortgagor every opportunity equitably possible to meet his obligations. And also urg ed "stringent regulation" of the small loan companies. Highlights of M<*ssage “May I suggest that during your deliberations you give earnest consid eration to remedial legislation with respect to mortgage foreclosures and the small loan business. “In common with other states, Ore gon Is passing thruogh an era of mort gage foreclosures. “It is primarily due in the case of our land owners to low’ prices and the lack of markets for farm produce. “It is pdimarily due In the case of our, urban home owners to lack of employment. “Both are as helpless victims of the economic depression as our army of unemployed men and women. "If there la any way of avoiding it, our farmers should not be deprived of their land and bo left without means of supporting their families, nor should our udban residents be depriv ed of their houses simply because of inability to meet mortgage obligations after having made every bona fide ef fort to do so. Ijoan Shark Active “Loss of employment, Hlneas and death are the chief causes, which bring the borrower to the wicket of the loan company. "Although an outraged public has done much to restrict the activities of unscrupulous lenders, the lonn shark still continues to operate. “The small loan business was in tended to afford financial aid to that large portion of the public unable to secure bank credit. It has become a part and parcel of our economic structure and every safeguard should be provided to protect the borrower from unjust, oppressive and exorbi tant interest rates and considerations. Stringent regulation should bo pro- Vied by law on this subject." Reclamation Ix>an Measure Governor Meier in a message Tues day urged the legislature to memor- allxe congress to enact U. 8. senate bills 6417 and 5471, as being of vital Importance to the state. The first provides for a suspension in payment of charges due from federal reclama tion project settlers. The enactment of this bill, he points out, would de plete the reclamation fund or at least delay amounts due for the period of suspension. The second bill, which is complementary of the first, provides for a loan to the reclamation fund to replace the lost income. Und' r suspension of the rules the house Tuesday passed the state relief commi.tee act and sent the bill to the senate. Child stealing would be made pun ishable by death or life imprisonment under a bill introduced in the house Tuesday by Paget of Multnomah. The bill “ups" all the penalties in kidnap ing and child stealing statutes. Sow Measures Discontinuance of the practice of hiring attorneys outside the attorney general's office to handle special legal work for the state is sought in a bill introduced in the house Monday by Representative Abrams of Marion and Senator Hecs of U ik . a. Quarterly payment of taxes instead of the present semi-annual basis Is provided in an amendment to the tax laws proposed in a bill introduced in the house by Representative Herman of Clatsop and Columbia. Having as their announced purpbse the “breaking up of the growing mon- 'Opoly of the oil companies in their control of the retail sale of gaso line,** four bills sponsored by the Port land Automotive Trades association made their appearance in the house Monday. _____ ____ Senate OK’s Child I^abor Amendment The house by a vote of 38 to 22 Tuesday adopted a senate resolution ratifying the child labor amendment to the constitution. The resolution has been before the legislature on several occasions but has always been voted down. Today it gained enough support to give it a good headway toward passage. Gas Tax to Be Refunded Citics would, be granted refunds from gasoline taxes on the automo biles they use wit»4» the corporate limits of their cities, under a bill introduced in the house by Snecdecor of Multnomah. The bill was drawn by City Attorney Grant of Portland, Sncdccor said. Small lodn companies would be re- quired to state in their advertising the amount of Interest per annum that in charged on all loans and would bo prohibited from using the expression “legal rate of interest charged”in their ads under a bill in troduced in the house by Hilton of Multnomah. The bill carries the emergency clause. ,- Sale of merchandise, either at wholesale or retail, by utility corpor ations, except such articles ns might bo manufactured by them, would be forbidden under the terms of a bill Introduced by Senator Burke. The measure it is said, strikes particular ly at the retail merchandising activi ties of public utility corporations In competition with independent .deal ers in electric and gas appliances.
