Predicted Deluge Hits
Legislative Session
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem. The predicted eleventh
hour deluge of bills materialized
Monday when 43 new measures were
dumped into the House hopper. And
then to give procrastinating mem
bers still more time to get their bills
into shape the House moved its dead
line forward to Wednesday nieht
In the senate, where no attempt is
made to limit the introduction of
bills, the start of, the second half of
the session was marked bv no un
usual activity on the part of those
with pet measures still to be brought
forth.
Among the new House measures
is one drafted by League of Oreeon
Cities which would divert a portion
of the gasoline taxes to the cities
for the construction and mainten
ance of streets. The proposed di
version would start with five per
cent of the net revenues from the
gas tax for 1937 and gradually in
crease to 7 1-2 per cent for 1939 and
subsequent years.
A resolution introduced bv Renre
sentative French of Sherman county
would give every county in the state
a seat in the lower House regardless
of the size of the county. This would
account for 36 of the 60 representa
tives. The other 24 would be dis
tributed among the larger counties
on a population basis. If approved
by the legislature the measure must
go before the voters since it involves
an amendment to the state consti
tution. A measure sponsored by a group
of House members would impose an
annual levy of one mill on Oregon
property for the support of high
schools. On the basis of the present
valuation of the state the levy would
raise nearly $1,000,000 a year.
Senators Staples and Burke intro
duced a new proposal for a uni
cameral legislature. They would
abolish the House of Representatives
and leave the business of lawmak
ing in the hands of the Senate, con
fining the membership to 30 but
boosting their pay to $6 a day with
a maximum of $360 for the session.
This is the third one-house legisla
ture proposal so far this session. One
by Senator Carney provides for a
legislature of 36 members to be el
ected for terms of two years. A
group of House members including
Political History Sidelights
Revealed in Oregonian, 1902
Back in 1902 when Furnish and
Chamberlain had a tight race of it
for governor with Chamberlain win
ning by a slight majority, Oregon
was operating under the convention
system. On April 2 of that year
Portland was deep in the throes of
the republican nominating conven
tion, and the Oregonian of that date
conveyed the news of the probable
nomination of Furnish over Geer as
the Multnomah delegation had
swung to W. J. Furnish, a Umatilla
county man, giving him practical
assurance of the nomination.
Some interesting highlights of
that political melee are noted in a
two-page sheet from the edition of
the Oregonian before referred to,
which was brought into the office by
S. E. Notson. One of these was a
pen sketch of the late G. W. Phelps,
former law partner of Mr. Notson in
Heppner before his election to the
circuit court judgeship in which his
many years of service placed him in
the ranks of Oregon's eminent jur
ists. Mr. Phelps served as chairman
of the congressional nominating com
mittee m the convention sessions,
and was withal a prominent political
figure of the times.
In another place the paper records
arrival of prominent convention del
egates, and among these is noted
the name of H. V. Gates of Hills
boro, for many years president of
the old Heppner Light & Water
company.
It is worthy of note that Judge
James A. Fee of Pendleton placed
the name of Furnish in nomination
at the convention.
Of real historical note is another
item anent W. S. Uren, father of the
initiative and referendum, which
Oregon first adopted to become a
pattern for many other states. This
item reads:
"W. S. Uren, of Oregon City, was
an interested spectator in the hotel
lobbies yesterday. His political eye
is single. He wants nothing more
nor less than the adoption of a reso
lution in the state convention in
dorsing the proposed initiative and
referendum amendment. He has
been working to that end, and now
feels confident that the Republican
party will go on record today as fa
vorable to this safeguard against
pernicious legislation. The resolu
tion favoring the initiative and ref
erendum will be introduced by Hon.
George H. Williams."

Creation of a labor relations board
for Oregon is proposed in a bill in
troduced this week under the spon
sorship of House and Senate mem
bers. The bill provides for a board
of three members to be appointed
by the governor. Salaries are fixed
at $3000 a year. The board would
be empowered, in its discretion, to
mediate, conciliate or arbitrate labor
disputes. The measure, which is
said to be an adaptation of the fed
eral Wagner-Connery act to suit
state needs, forbids employers to
spy on, black list, dominate or inter
fere with labor organizations, to dis
courage union membership or to dis
criminate against union members.
Two measures, said to emanate
from administration sources, are be
ing whipped into shape for introduc
tion. One would centralize the fix
ing of prison terms in the state pa-
ole board. The other would enlarge
the powers of the parole board and
its duties. It creates a full-time
chairmanship of the board at an an
nual salary of $4000 and a chief
parole officer and staff of assistants
whose salaries would be fixed by
the board.
Appropriation bills that call for
an aggregate sum greater than the
new budget suplus have already
been introduced. One measure calls
for $200,000 to finance construction
of a new tuberculosis hospital in
Multnomah county. Another pro
vides $54,500 to construct and equip
a new 50-bed pavilion at the eastern
Oregon tuberculosis hospital at The
Dalles. A third asks for $60,000 to
finance an Oregon exhibit at the
San Francisco worlds fair in 1939.
Still another, a distinctly adminis
tration measure calls for $100,000 to
finance a new state mining board
during the current biennium.
A bill by Hyde of Lane county
which has already passed the House'
would make voting more convenient
for residents of isolated sections of
the state. It provides that persons
living more than ten miles from a
polling place may avail themselves
of the absentee voter privilege up to
the day before election.

Roger Babson, statistician, ex
pressed his high regard for the value
of Bible study in the following
words:
"The Sunday School has tremen
dous opportunities. There never was
a time in the history of our nation
when the Sunday School was so
much needed. It should be of espec
ial interest to the young people.
Only a spiritual awakening on
the part of the young people of this
world can prevent another great
war. I especially appreciate the
