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.

Joe College" in
Reverse Shown in
Campus Incident-
Oregon State College This is a
story of "Joe College" as he is not
usually pictured on the screen or
in campus fiction.
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.
Grange Lecturers Plan School
Oregon State College Close to
100 grange lecturers from through
out the state are expected to attend
a grange lecturers' school here on
March 8 to 10, reports Mrs. G. W.
Thiessen of Milwaukie, state grange
lecturer. Assisting Mrs. Thiessen
and members of the extension ser
vice and college staff in holding the

Washington, Idaho and California.
About 24 successful lecturers from
