o New Laws
o Old Prisoners Out
o Highway Funds
By A. L. LIDBECK
Salem Residents of Oregon will
be subject to 367 new regulations
on and after next Wednesday when
the new laws passed by the recent
legislative session become effective.
These are the legislative acts passed
without benefit of the emergency
clause and which have had to sea
son for 90 days before becoming
statutes. A total of 188 emergency
measures passed by the session be
came effective upon signature by
the governor.
Most of the new laws involve only
minor amendments to existing stat
utes. There are a number of import
ant amendments to the game laws
which are of special interest to
hunters and fishermen. Motorists
will, be particularly interested in an
amendment to the traffic law
which requires the dimming of
headlights when meeting another
car, regardless of weather condi
tions. The new peoples utility district
act, "hot potato" of the session, is
one of the most important of the
new laws. Public ownership advo
cates strenuously opposed the mea
sure and threatened to invoke the
referendum against it but apparent
ly changed their mind.
Another important measure pro
vides for the consolidation of rural
school districts. Still another re
quires night clubs to be licensed by
the liquor control commission. The
September primary law is also in
the long list of new legislation due
to become effective next week un
less the grange and Commonwealth
Federation complete their referen
dum petitions before the deadline
Tuesday night.
Company C, Grants Pass; com.
pany D, Oregon City; company H,
The Dalles; company I, Forest
Grove; company M, Corvallis, were
among the 36 units of the Oregon
National Guard receiving "very sat
isfactory" rating this year according
to Major General George A. White.
Silk streamers for the unit guidons
will be presented by General White
during the annual field training as
sembly at Camp Clatsop this month.
O. R. Beani who succeeded N. G.
Wallace as public utilities commis
sioner June 1 has announced the
appointment of F. L. Davis of Port
land to the post of assistant com
missioner. Davis, who is now chief
of operations in the department of
public works over which Bean was
head while serving on the Portland
city commission, will join the utili
ties department within the week..
Frank Nixon, formerly of Sheri
dan, has been designated as milk
and cream supervisor in Marion
and Clackamas counties, it has been
announced by J. D. Mickle, director
of the state department of agricul
ture. Ralph Schwab of Mt. Angel
has been appointed as the depart
ment's assistant district representa
tive in Marion county.
Attorney GeneraL Van Winkle has
advised Governor Sprague that in
his opinion the new parole law en
acted by the last legislature does
not apply to prisoners committed
prior to the effective date of the
act, June 14. In anticipation of such
a ruling the governor had already
instructed the parole board to make
a study of all prison cases deserv
ing of leniency with the under
standing that he will commute sent
ences regarded by the board as un
iuly severe in the light of the re
cently authorized parole reform.
Since its creation in 1913 the
State Highway Department has col
lected a total of $289,754,412.79, of
which it had disbursed $287,443,
014. 58 to April 30, last, leaving a
balance on hand of $2,311,398.21,
according to figures' compiled by
Secretary of State Snell.
Gasoline taxes provided $95,495,
887.76 of the department's huge
fund. Motor vehicle license fees
supplied another $64,773,648.94.
More than $50,000,000 have been
raised for road purposes through
the sale of bonds and the federal
government has supplied $45,665,
367.14 in aid and grants.
Other principal revenue sources
are listed as follows: one-fourth mill
road tax, $2,429,480.91; one-mill
market road tax, $12,854,982.12; co
operative aid from counties, $8,
463,771.95; bus and truck fees,
$5,297,121.32.
In the past 26 years $210,650,
223.80 has gone into road construc
tion, maintenance and administrat
ive expenses; $37,808,250 has gone

as a member of the advisory board
for the state employment service.

Portland residents. Ziegler will re

ests. One of the first oders issued by
O. R. Bean after taking over his
new duties as public utilities com
missioner forbids employees of the
commission to party with or receive
gifts from representatives of utili
ties coming under the commission's
jurisdiction.
