Legislature's End
o Kansas Plan
o Capitol Workers
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem Sine die adjournment of
the legislative session has been ten
tatively set for March 4. Some of
the more optimistic are hopeful that
it may come a few days even a
"week earlier while the more pessi
mistic of the lawmakers are fearful
that the session will overrun that
mark, but predictions and it can
be only a prediction at this distance
seem to center around this date.
The end of the 40-day period for
the lawmakers comes with Friday of
this week, providing another incen
tive for speedy adjournment of the
session although legislative em
ployees whose pay goes on without
interruption are quite content to
stick it out for the remainder of the
winter.
So far only two of the controver
sial issues of the session have been
disposed of. Representative Chap
man's open shop bill met with de
cisive defeat in the House last week
when the Multnomah county legis
lator was able to muster only 14
votes in its support as against an
adverse vote of 46. The pilot bill, re
organizing the state board of pilot
commissioners, rolled through both
nouses with a few amendments af
ter successfully running the gauntlet
of criticism from its opponents.
PUD, taxes, relief, various pen
sion proposals, civil service for state
employees, and the appropriation
bills are still before the session. The
first of these, involving numerous
amendments to the peoples utility
district act, was the center of in
terest at a number of hearings this
week, culminating at a big free-
for-all public hearing Wednesday
night. Principal bone of contention
in this measure is the Bonneville-
endorsed provision for private sale
of bonds to be issued by these pow
er districts. This issue has resulted
in, a. split in the ranks 'of the" pub
lie ownership advocates with Ray
Gill, Morton Tompkins and a num
ber of other grange leaders lining up
with the Bonneville crowd in sup
port of the private sale provision
and Peter Zimmerman, Herman
Lafky and other zealous public own
ership advocates backing Governor
Sprague in his insistence that these
bonds shall be sold on bids and to
the highest bidder.
There does not appear to be any
considerable sentiment in favor of
new taxes or revenue measures,
Even the proposed amendments to
the income tax laws providing relief
for intangibles tax payers and in
creasing the load on personal in
come taxes which has been recom
mended by Governor Sprague has
failed to arouse any enthusiasm on
the part of the lawmakers most of
whom appear content to let well
enough alone. As for sales taxes and
gross income taxes, these appear to
be definitely out, especially since
Governor Sprague has turned
thumbs down on such revenues.
Relief is again the big problem
with big pension advocates insisting
on more generous treatment of the
needy aged and the counties, as well
as the state knowing not where to
turn for the necessary funds unless
the people should be willing to ap
prove some form of sales tax. Pros
pects now are that the lawmakers
will cut their suit to fit the cloth
at hand, which means still , further
trimming of the already severely
trimmed relief budget.
The various proposals for state
subsidized retirement pensions for
firemen, teachers and other organ
ized groups will probably not get
very far at this session although
strong lobbies are still at work on
the legislators in behalf of these is
sues. Neither does there appear to
be much support for the proposal
to place state employees under civil
service, an issue that was brought
sharply to the forefront this week
in charges that racketeering meth
ods were being used in coercing
employees to contribute toward a
fund in support of this measure.
The ways and means committee is
well up on its work of sorting out
the wheat from the chaff in the state
budget. Tentative action has al
ready been taken on most of the
1939
Heppner
big appropriation bills and these
will begin to move out into the
open in a few days now.
Governor Sprague is said to be
giving serious consideration to the
so-called Kansas plan which in
volves a legislative interim council
to prepare needed legislation. In
Kansas where the plan was adopted
in 1933 a group of legislators with
the aid of a permanent staff of re
search experts analyses proposed
legislation, sifts out the proposals
which it regards as worthy of at
tention by the legislature and pre
pares the necessary bills so that they
will be ready for introduction when
the session convenes. The plan is
said to have greatly expedited action
on legislative problems in the sun
flower state.
Premature publicity appears to
have discouraged a move to require
cats to wear a bell as a protection
to birds. The measure, which admit
tedly contains much real merit, is
known to have been drafted but
newspaper publicity aroused so
much adverse comment and ridicule
that its sponsors now deny any
knowledge of such a proposal.
The capitol reconstruction com
mission will be allowed until Aug
ust 31 to wind up its affairs if the
recommendations of the senate com
mittee . on capitol reconstruction
meets with legislative approval. This
is an extension of one month over
the original plan to liquidate the
affairs of this commission by July 31.
Souvenir hunters continue their
acts of vandalism around the new
capitol. Not a day passes but that
something is carried away by per
sons visiting the building. Locks
are unscrewed from the doors in
the rest rooms, a large brass plate
weighing several pounds was taken
from the floor of one of the ele
vators. Nothing appears to be sacred
to the vandals, none of whom has
as yet been apprehended.
