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

'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.

Tuesday adopted a senate resolution

biles they use wit»4» the corporate
