Governor's Bills Bog
Speaker's Faux pas
Relief Worries
By A. L. LIKDBECK
Helping the President
Salem. The administration's leg
islative program has bogged down,
temporarily at least, under a bar
rage of adverse criticism. Admin
istration leaders in the House where
the bills are now pending, however,
were hopeful that objections raised
to the several measures could be
satisfactorily ironed out and that
the entire program, somewhat mod
ified, would be well on its way to
completion by the end of the second
week of the session.
First indication of opposition to
the measures which Governor Mar
tin had sent to the legislature on
Monday, came when the joint ways
and means committee refused to
put its "okeh" on the planning
committee bill in spite of the re
quest from the executive depart
ment that the measure be speeded
along on its way to the statute
books. Members of the committee
were of the opinion that the meas
ure went farther than even its spon
sors suspected. One senator des
cribed it as a "Frankenstein mon
ster which not even its creator
could dismantle and which would,
ultimately, devour its master."
Senator Strayer, democrat, and
veteran member of the committee
declared that the measure would
set up a super-commission with extra-legislative
powers which could,
if it were so minded, seriously inter
fere with the duties of department
and institution heads. Senator Zim
merman, Representative Snyder and
other members of the committee
also took turns at picking the meas-
use to pieces. There was, apparent
ly, no objection to the creation of
an advisory commission to work
out a program of public works and
conservation of the state's natural
resources which, it seems, is all that
the governor is particularly inter
ested in.
Opposition to the budgetary con
trol bills, two in number, developed
at Friday's session of the House
committee on administration and
reorganization which is sponsoring
these measures. One ot the Dius
would require all so-called self-supporting
boards and commissions to
place their revenues in the state's
general fund and to look to the leg-
islature for appropriations for their
suDDort. Sportsmen of the state
who support the game commission
through purchase of hunting and
fishing licenses object to any inter
ference with the game fund as is
contemplated in this measure. Den
tists, barbers, architects, cosmeti
cians and the members of other
professions whose examining boards
would also be affected by the meas
ure want the legislature to keep its
hands off their boards. And so it
goes.
The other measure in this group
would authorize the governor or his
budget director to revise budgets of
the various state departments and
institutions, shift money from one
fund to another, disapprove of es
timated expenditures and otherwise
exercise control over the expendi
tures of all state activities except
those headed by elective officials.
Representative Homer Angell of
Multnomah county who lead the
opposition to this measure declared
that it would permit the governor
to upset the work of the ways and
means committee and the legisla
ture and vested entirely too much
authority in one official.
Concensus of opinion around the
capitol is that Speaker John Coot-
er stepped into a fast one right off
the bat of the Multnomah county
"kingmakers" when he passed out
his original list of committee as-
. sienments. While the voice was
the voice of Cooter the hand looked
very much like the hand of Gra-
ham-Latourette-et-al of the Mult
nomah delegation. Cooter's prompt
recognition of his boner and his just
as prompt re-assignment of some of
the more important committee
chairmanships did much to restore
harmony in the ranks and just to
prove that there were no hard feel
ings the members gave their Speak
er a vote of confidence.

"WE WELCOME ALL"
Facts on Pasture Costs
Sought in New Project
With pasture constituting 69 per
cent of the total acreage of Oregon
farms, according to the 1930 census,
more information is needed to de
termine the relative costs and re
turns from different kinds of pas
ture in different parts of the state,
and more efficient methods of pro
ducing this kind of livestock feed,
believes the farm management de
partment of the Oregon Experiment
station.
Accordingly, federal approval has
been received for conducting a com
prehensive pasture cost study, to
be financed with Purnell research
funds. The study is to continue
over three years, during which ac
tual data will be gathered from be
tween 500 and 1000 pasture enter
prises scattered throughout the
state of Oregon.
From the studies it is hoped to
determine for the different kinds of
pasture their relative productive
ness under varying conditions, the
cost of the feed poduced and the
factors affecting it, means of re
ducing this cost, and the cost of es
tablishing pastures.
The Oregon dairy cost study con
ducted in a similar manner a few
years ago show that from a third to
one-half of the feed for dairy cows
is obtained from pasture. It is pre
sumable that pasture is an even
more important factor in other
livestock enterprises, says H. E.
Selby, farm management specialist
who will head the new project. He
will be assisted by A. S. Burrier, E.
R. Jackman and O. M. Nelson of
the experiment station staff.
there is room for a few tax payers

When the senate refused to re
duce the pay of its stenographers
to the level of the House which had
been fixed at $4 a day the House
boosted its pay scale to the Senate
level of $5 a day over the feeble
protests of a few of the members
who remembered that they had
pledged themselves to a program of
rigid economy in the expenditure of
state funds.
The "no smoking" sign in the la

does not extend to the ladies of the

Department of Agriculture has
made studies of the tariffs in stock
yards in Sioux City and other places
and has ordered considerable re

Denver making a study. All ship

should make careful statements
for use of the Department when
the investigation is conducted. Mr.
Pierce studied the old tariff and the

New Projects for 1935
County agents throughout the
state have cooperated with grange
agricultural commitees during Jan
uary in setting up the program of
work for these committees. Among
the standard projects adopted by
many of the grange organizations
for emphasis this year are market
ing, rodent control, weed and pest
control, agricultural outlook and
price reporting, 4-H club work, and
farm record keeping.
The agricultural commitee of the
state grange has cooperated with
the extension service for several
years in this coordinating effort.

ASK ABOUT THE CASH REFUND PLAN
Estes Snedecor, Portland attor
ney who was one of the outstand
ing House members in the 1933 ses
sion but who was defeated for the
democratic nomination last May is
serving as legal advisor to Govern
or Martin drafting the administra
tion measures and passing on such
measures as come into the hands
of the governor after making the
circuit of the House and Senate.
The demand of Harry Hopkins,
federal relief administrator, that
Oregon put up $4,000,000 a year
toward the relief of its own unem
ployed has the governor and the
lawmakers worried. So far no one
has come forward with any prac
tical suggestion as to where this
much cash is to be had. The only
suggestions so far advanced involve
certificates of indebtedness or bond
issues or some new tax and when it
comes to this latter proposal ideas
seem to be confined to more taxes
from Incomes by reducing the ex
emptions or to some sort of sales
tax, neither of which is very popu
lar In Oregon.
Both the House and Senate have
loaded their payrolls with the usual
number of clerks, stenographers and
other employees 63 in the Senate
and 114 in the House which is
slightly above the first week record
for the 1933 session. Every senator
and reDresentatlve has a personal
secretary whether they need one or
not. Many of the legislators have
broueht their wives along to nan
die their tenoKraphlc work. The
House ls eight assistant sergeant-
at-arms, four door-keepers and four
pages the first week but Speaker
Cooter thinned this force down
about 60 percent Saturday and now
vened and members began to make
speeches that Oregon was not an
exception. Those of you who read
the Congressional Record in your
public library'will find in the num
ber for January 11 speeches which
recite the same shocking experi
ences in other states. It is now ap
parent that Congress will grant ad
ditional funds to care for applicants
who can meet the conditions and it
is sincerely hoped by friends of the
Administration that these funds will
be more carefully and justly ad
ministered. For the present noth
ing can be done for any applicant.
If Western Congressmen have their
way, pending applications will have
priority when new funds are grant
ed." In similar fashion, Mrs. Pierce
touches several matters which have
claimed the congressman's atten
tion, including disposal of alfalfa in
Harney and Baker counties quaran
tined for weevil, upping the amount
of emergency feed loans, and estab
lishment of a huge bird reserve in
Harney county. His activities also
included an interview with Secre
tary Wallace on procuring a spec
ial rail rate for removal of north
west wheat to drouth areas in mid
dle west.
Here are a few more of Mrs.
Pierce's close-ups:
"Senator Steiwer and Congress
man Pierce have agreed upon the
terms of a bill that each will intro
duce to require the Government to
pay annually, in lieu of taxes, on
any lands taken off the tax rolls by
executive order, the same as if pri
vately owned. This would effect
the game preserves being so elab
orately arranged for in Harney
county and the marginal land be
ing taken over in Jefferson county.
"Stock yards tariff charges made
an exciting day or two in the office
when it was attempted to get a
suspension of the tariff which had
been ordered by Swift & Co. in
Portland. The Secretary of Agri
culture may suspend operation of
any proposed tariff before it goes
into effect as ten days' notice is re
quired. After it is in operation, he
may suspend only after a hearing.
The conclusion was td watch the
matter carefully, to study costs,
and to send inspectors to investi
gate records after 60 days of opera
tion of the new tariff. If it is found
that costs have been raised to the
average shipper, or generally to the
