Heppner Gazette Times, February 8, 1945 5
IN THE HOPPER
The museum piece of Oregon, le
gislatures, "Portland vs Upstate,"
has been dusted off. The activities
of citizens who reside or have bus
iness places along the highways of
the state and are stung mad by the
proposals .the -highway commission
have incorporated in the so called
freeways bill. Freeways seems to
mean that the highway commission
can have their own way for free.
It is a matter of statewide interest
that the Portland Chamber of Com
merce should now be trying to pass
legislation so that they may barri
cade and close to traffic the streets
of our smaller communities and
interfere with the local traffic in
our ulpstate cities and towns. . .
Upstate is up top just now and the
proponents of the bill would amend
it but keep the stinger in . . . Log
rolling, "you vote for my bill and
I'll vote for yours," is piling up in
creased salaries for state and coun
ty elective officials at an alarming
rate. As usually reliable informa
tion has it, a bill will be presented
to limit all salary rises to the per
iod of the war and six months
thereafter. Another proposal is to
make proportionate salary increases
to all workers of a department when
the salary of the head of a depart
ment is increased. . . . After four
years of study the legislative inter
im committee reports that trucks
on highways do not pay their full
share of highway costs. . . The old
saw about being taxed from the
cradle to the grave has shown up
at the legislature in a bill that
would authorize the creation of
cemetery districts, with power to
tax all the property in the district.
Just incidentally it would also cre
ate some new offices to be filled
and paid for. . . The state senate
killed a measure to create the of
fice of lieutenant governor, but
passed and sent to the house a pro
posed constitutional amendment to
add the secretary of state and the
state treasurer to the line of suc
cession for governor if the presi
dent of the senate or speaker of
the house cannot serve. The amend
ment would be submitted to the
people at the next general elec
tion. . . A memorial passed by the
house and sent to the senate desires
that clocks be set back an hour to
standard time. Argument advanced
was that school children have to
wait in the dark for school busses.
... A department of archives, re
commended by Governor Earl Snell
has been approved by the ways and
means committee with $15,000 add
ed to the state's library appropria
tion. . . Compulsory attendance at
school until children are 16 years
old or have graduated from the 12th
grade is provided in a bill in the
house by the committee on education.
