LEGISLATIV7 ORGANIZATION
Monday morning the 43rd legis
lative assembly organized, elected
Senator Howard C. Belton, Clacka
mas, "president of the senate and
Representative Eugene E. Marsh,
speaker of the house. Before con
vening, in joint assembly at 2 p. m.
to hear the biennial message of
Governor Earl Snell ,the standing
committes of the two houses were
announced by the presiding offi
cers To Senator Deon H. Walker,
Independence, went the chairman
ship of the powerful ways and
and means committee of the senate
while Henry Semon was accorded
this honor in the house.
GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE
In the openinig statements of his
biennial message to. the legislature,
Governor Earl Snell praised civil
ian efforts and contributions that
aided in bringing victory in sight.
He warned, however, that "this is
no time to rest on laurels or re
cords." In reviewing the state's financial
position, he said, "I am happy and
proud to report that the state of
Oregon is in the best financial po
sition in which it has been been fo
a long, long number of years . . .
The total bonded indebtdness from
original issues of over eighty-million
dollars has been reduced to
around twenty million dollars. . .
The service carrying charges on
our bonded debt have been reduced
from the high of three million in
round numbers to a figure now of
less than a million. . . Two years
ago the pef capita net debt was
$25.50. Today it is $18.80. Ten years
ago it was $55.20.
The governor stated that a survey
of taxes in Oregon, Washington
and California discloses that Ore
gon's per capita tax is much lower
than either Washington or Cali
fornia. Speaking on old age assistance,
the governor stressed that at the
1143 legislature, he asked for an
increase in appropriation sufficient
to provide $40.00 a month payment,
designated as the minimum both in
the state and federal law. "At that
time," he said, "the average pay
ment was around $24.00." The av
erage payment is now $35.00 and
these payments will be increased
further before the close of the fis
cal biennium, June 30. Nearly 50
percent of recipients now receive
$40.00, over 60 percent receive
from $35.00 to $40.00, approximate
ly 80 percent now receive from
$30 to 40 supplementing and in addi
tion to these figures is free med
ical service totaling in excess of
$125,000 a year. "As stated in my
inaugural message in 1935, I still
maintain that $40 per month is little
enough to provide sustenance and
reasonable comfort for these elderly
citiizens."
The message had 6600 words and
required 50 minutes to deliver. ,
CAPITOL BRIEFS
The first bill, by Senators Stray
er and Rand, was introduced on
the first day, its purpose being to
repeal the 1943 community tax law,
made useless by a recent United
States supreme court decision. . .
The combined legislative experience
of the members of this legislature
amounts to over 35 years. The old
est member in point of service is
. W. H. Strayer with 15 sessions.
Only two members of the 30 in the
senate and 11 of the 60 in the house
have not had previous legislative
experience . . . You should have
your state income tax blanks by
now. They were mailed Saturday.
It took 10 tons of paper to produce
the blanks.
