o Smith Confirmation
o Social Security
o Bakeries Protest
By A. L. UNDBECK,
Salem Confirmation of the ap
pointment of Edgar W. Smith of
Portland as a member of the state
board of higher education has pro
vided the only controversial issue
of the legislative session to date.
Smith's confirmation is opposed by
a number of senators. In fact the
opposition claim 13 votes or more
than enough to block confirmation,
while Smith's supporters claim 23
votes or enough to confirm with at
least three to spare.
When the question of Smith's con
firmation came up during the first
week of the session it was put over
until Monday and made a special
order of business. At that time in
stead of coming to a vote the mat
ter was referred to a special com
mittee of five members for further
consideration.
Two objections are raised to
Smith's onfirmation. One of these
is his membership on the milk con
trol board. Several senators who
otherwise will vote to confirm
Smith's appointment have indicated
that they will not support him un
less and until he relinquishes his
milk board post. The other objection
is to Smith's activity in affairs of
the University of Oregon. Partisans
of the state college fear that their
interests might be jeopardized by
the presence of a university man on
the board.
Governor Sprague in a special
message to the House and Senate
Monday called attention to objec
tions raised by the federal Social
Security board to Oregon's defin
ition of labor disputes as set forth
in the piketing bill' approved by the
voters at the November election. In
an effort to overcome this objection
attorneys for the Unemployment
Compensation commission have
drafted an amendment to the com
pensation act in which they attempt
to set up a definition of labor dis
putes in conformity with the require
ments of the federal board but ap
plicable only to the jobless insurance
law. Attorneys for organized labor
express themselves as entirely dis
satisfied with the proposed amend
ments and members of the' legisla
ture who have studied the proposed
amendment frankly admit that they
do not know what its effect will be.
In order to get the amendment un
der way, however, the senate com
mittee on revision of law has agreed
to bring it out in the form of a bill
and then to hold a number of hear
ings on the subject before the law
makers are asked to pass on the
measure. T. Morris Dunne, chairman
of the Oregon Unemeployment com
pensation commission, told the sen
ate committee Monday that unless
the Oregon law was made to con
form to the federal requirements his
commission would be compelled to
close all of its offices throughout
Oregon on February 1 for lack of
funds to pay administrative costs.
The Ellis-Wipperman bill to abol
ish the state bakery board has the
bakery interests of the state up in
arms. A public hearing on the meas
ure has been ' scheduled for next
Tuesday night in the hearing room
of the new capitol.
Farmers . and poultrymen might
find themselves seriously handi
capped in the shipment of chickens
if a bill introduced by Senator Wal
lace should receive legislative ap
proval. The measure would require
a permit from the game commission
in order to ship birds from one
county to another. Chickens, it is
explained, are classed as non-game
birds.
