First step toward the big program to be considered by this session of the hgisl.iture were taken . the first of last week, when the roads Hid highways m: irriltpej 01 die St ti- j ate and house ir. t u i.r.jic.'i r.'S'l Jujtment of n:.' r !u.-j;t fc.-s. a:iil hon the house commit lee on taxation and revenue decided to lead out the first two niL'asur.s of the list recom mended by the pnirrty tax relief commission. I There are eight main subjects in the tax program, but the committee con eluded the best policy is to feed out the measures a little at a time ao that they ran be absorbed and under stood, rather than dtrrrp the entire complicated series of bills Into the hopper at once. j Equalization First Object Equalization, regarded as the funda rmnul principle of the program, will be the lead-off, represented by two bills, the first on centralized control and assessment and the second call ing for a full time state tax commit- ion. which will supplant the present commission consisting of the gover nor, secretary of state, state treasurer and state tax commissioner. I' rider centralised control of assess ment It Is hoped to obtain the true value and the equalization of assess ments of property, but to attain this end the state tax commission must be empowered to exercise general super Tislon over the entire administration of the assessment and taxation laws. This would enable the commission to atep In and adjust the glaring Inequali ties which exist In the same class of property In different counties. With the exception of the proposed excise tax on banks and an individual Income tax. all of the recommenda tions of the property tax relief com mission were spread before the leg islature Monday, when the session re sumed. Not before most of the taxation measures are well on their way will the controversial bill for a personal In come tax be offered. All things considered, the heavy business of the session Is now fairly under way. How many, If any, of these taxation measures will manage to fans th house and senate and be enacted Into laws Is unknown. There appears to be little, If any, opposition to tht tax relief program In the huuie, but one can never tell. (12,000,003 Highway Bonds Wanted. Iloth Eddy and I'r-ton, as well at Prosld'.-nt Norblad and Senator Hall, are Interested In trying lo force through a mandate to the hlghv.a commission to sell bonds up to tin constltuilonal limit - about ?12.0i.'i.(w'i and "potljK V thin on n basis of 4l per cent i r eastern (lie on and CO pi-r cent vr-sti-rn Orig-m.

And It is no lecrct that the governor noes not x ant mere bonds Bold, for he wants t'i see the bonded debt decreased nthcr tiiiin Increased. Of course, if fcioney was needed to match federal eid, a sufficient amount of bonds niuy be'sold for that purpose and this can be done without mnturlully Increasing the load. During the first two weeks of the Vili session of the house 253 bills were Introduced, 47 passed und four Indefinitely postponed. Of Hisb IV, or more than onohalf, were repeal bills offered by the interim commit tee appointed at tho 1 027 session to eliminate dead timber in (lie Oregon code, Many of the other repeal bills have been reported back by commit lee with the recommendation that they be passed.

Bancorporatlona May be Regulated. Rumors that something would be done In the way of regulation of ban corporations at this session began to materialize the past week, when a measure was peddled around to sena tors which was so drastic that no one has yet been found to Introduce it. The tentative bill would have the effect of preventing present bancor porr'.Ions from !. t;..' '.ig their growth from their r . ;r.l tlr.'.u i.
