Thursday, March 2, 1939 gjffAL-NEWS O Long Session o Milk Control o Kansas Plan By A. L. LINDBECK Salem The present session of the Oregon legislature now threatens to establish a new record for longev ity. To date that record is held by the session of 1933 which adjourned on the 60th day. Hope of terminating the present session on or before March 4 (next Saturday) was prac tically abandoned by legislative leaders when they recessed for the week-end with much of its major problems still uncompleted. If the session continues until Thursday of next week, as now seems probable, it will have equalled the record of 1933. If it continues past that date it will have hung up a new record for endurance. The session also gives promise of establishing a new record for the number of bills introduced. Al ready the senate is ahead of its bill record of two years ago while the House was almost up to the 1937 record with each day finding a grist of new measures being ground out by the lawmakers. Whatever the fate of the milk control act at the hands of the legis lators at this session residents of the smaller communities throughout Oregon are to be relieved of further interference by the milk board with the distribution of their milk sup ply. A bill by Representative French of Sherman county covering this subject has been approved by both House and Senate and is now in the hands of Governor Sprague. The milk control act, passed by the special session of 1935, has been the subject of bitter controversy ever since. Attempts to repeal the act were made in the session of 1937 and renewed in the early days of this session. Bottled up in the sen ate committee on agriculture for six weeks the measure was finally brought out last week with a major ity of the committe recommending against passage of the repeal bill. Friends of the bill, however, suc ceeded in mustering 15 votes to save the measure temporarily from indefinite postponement and were said to have the requisite 16 votes necessary to its passage on Friday when two of their supporters threw a monkey wrench into the machin ery by disappearing from the sen ate, necessitating a postponement of the battle that is expected to pro vide a real test of strength with re spect to the attitude of the lawmak ers toward this highly controversial bit of legislation. Special requests for state appro priations not included in the regu lar budget aggregate more than $1, 440,000. Most of these have already been disapproved by the ways and means committee which is attempt ing to confine appropriations to available revenues in line with Governor Sprague's insistence that no new taxes be imposed by this session. The proposal by the Association of County Judges and Commissioners that the old market road tax of one mill be restored has been definitely rejected by the legislature, the House voting to indefinitely postpone the measure after the taxation and revenue committee had reported it out with a do not pass recommen dation on the ground that it was just another tax. Legislators and newspaper men covering the session were guests of the Order of Antelope at a lunch eon at the Salem armory Saturday nieht. The Order of Antelope, mci dentally, is an organization com prising some of Oregon's most prom inent citizens, formed several years ago for the purpose ot creating a great wilderness park on Hart mountain in Lake county for the preservation of antelope and other wild life. Oregon" voters will go to the polls in September instead of May to pick - their candidates for public office if the House follows the lead of the senate which this week passed the September primary bill by a vote of Heppner 19 to 9. Sponsors of the measure urged its passage as a measure of relief for both the candidates and the electorate inasmuch as it will materially shorten the political cam paign. Governor Sprague has en dorsed the measure and urged its passage. Negotiations for a state office building in Portland will be discon tinued for the time being. Under an act passed by the session of 1937 the board of control conducted exten sive negotiations with owners of a number of Portland office buildings in an effort to acquire one of them for use by state departments quar tered in the metropolis. After con ferring with the board the ways and means committee has recommended that the act be repealed and that no effort be made to acquire a building in Portland for the time being. Clarence M. Ryerson, for the past 25 years editor of the Oregon Labor Press, is to succeed J. C. Joy as la bor's representatve on the Industrial Accident commission on March 15, according to apparently reliable but as yet unconfirmed rumors about the capitol. Joy, a Democrat, was appointed by Governor - Martin in 1936. This change, it is believed, wiV be the first among many which Gov ernor Sprague will make in his of ficial family although he is expect ed to wait until after he has cleared his desk of the legislative grist be fore beginning the task of reorgan izing state departments and com missions. The House put the finishing touch to the state bakery board Friday when it passed a bill abolishing the board by a vote of 36 to 23. The sen ate had previously passed the meas ure which is now in the hands of Governor Sprague who recommend ed such legislation in his inaugural address. The services of the state police have been called for in an effort to put a stop to acts of vandalism in the new capitol. Souvenir hunters continue to carry away anything they can lay their hands on in spite of vigilance of janitors and other employees on duty about the build ing. , - The so-called Kansas plan is now before the legislators in a measure introduced this week by Senator Harry Kenin of Multnomah county. The plan calls for the creation of an interim commission composed of senators and representatives who would meet at stated periods to con sider proposed legislation. Sugges tions considered by this commission as worthy of further consideration by the legislature would be turned over to a research department which would gather all information avail able on the subject for the infor mation and guidance of the lawmak ers. The plan is designed to expedite action on important legislation and to materially shorten legislative ses sions by weeding out trivial and unworthy proposals before the ses sion convenes. A bill sponsored by Senator Ross of Washington county which would have required county courts to ad vertise for bids on all purchases in excess of 500 was defeated in the senate. Ross claimed the measure would result in great savings to the counties and put a stop to the prac tice of favoritism in placing county business. Opponents of the meas ure contended that it would only result in increased expense with no resulting economies. County courts over the state generally were said to be opposed to the bill. lone United Churches C. F. Trimble, Pastor. Sunday School 10:00 a. m. Sermon by Pastor 11:00 a. m.

Some six years ago there came to OSC a tall young cshap with plenty of ambition and determination but with little cash. Brought up in a "well-to-do" home, he had seen his father's business wiped out in the early days of the depression. Soon afterwards his father died. With a high school education but no job or special training, the boy decided to try a college course. He came to Corvallis, enrolled in en gineering, and reported to the col lege employment office for work. Things did not go smoothly despite his best efforts. The course was hard, jobs were scarce as well as difficult for one reared as he had been, while board and room costs soon used up most of his slender savings. Before it was too late he switched to batching quarters and began cook ing his own meals, but he had never cooked before. Mrs. Lulu Howard, who has been employment secretary for so long she can almost read stu dents at a glance, saw signs of un dernourishment as time went on. From a modest store of food supplies donated by women's organizations for just such emergencies, she tact fully supplemented his menu, even though he protested that he was "getting along all right." As term followed term he mas tered his course, stood well in his class, but faced a continual strug ge for finances. As a last resort he accepted a small loan from an emer gency fund handled by Mrs. How ard on a character basis without interest. Each loan was repaid promptly, even though he might have to return later for another. In his senior year he obtained work with the college which eased the way a bit, and he got his cov eted sheepskin at the end of his fifth year. After commencement Mrs. Howard had a caller merely to say goodbye, she presumed, as his little loans had been all paid. Instead he handed her a check, say ing it was a little appreciation gift for her emergency fund. It was his last check from the college and was for $37.80. Her protests were un availing and the gift remained. He is now well established in a government engineering service. At Christmas time another $10 check came from the fund to help some present day "Joe College" the kind seldom heard about on the screen or in campus fiction. Information to Cut Accidents Efforts to reach elderly pedestrians in Oregon with information about traffic accidents are being counted upon to reduce the traffic toll which automobiles have long taken among this group, Secretary of State Earl Snell said today. In Portland, Captain W. C. Epps of the police traffic department has appealed to the city's clergymen to devote at least one Sunday sermon to the subject of pedestrian safety, in view of the fact that seven of the city's 12 traffic deaths since January 1st have involved pedestrians over the age of 55. Secretary Snell's office is also planning to cooperate with interest ed groups in disseminating detailed information about pedestrian acci dents involving older persons, and it is hoped that the campaign can be broadened to nationwide propor tions.
