Reviews the
Legislature
By Giles L. French
Lack of Portland papers and
the consequent absence of com
plete coverage of the legislature,
together with letters from the
22nd district, indicate that per
haps some items of news would
not be amiss in this column,
which is often given over to more
specific throught affecting the
district and the effect of legisla
tive action thereon.
Actually the legislature hasn't
done much ol great interest but
by the time this can be printed
it expects to do several things.
The minor bills are always sent
out of committee first because
they take less time to discuss,
there is less disagreement about
them and less debate. It is now
about time for some of the im
portant legislation.
The school teachers' bill which
would have raised the basic
school support from $50 to $95
was on the floor once and was
carried by a 33 to 27 vote in the
house on a vote on the commit
tee reports. When up for final
passage it was returned to com
mittee for repair which it un
doubtedly needed.
It originally carried a $2,000,000
per annum gift section which
would have given that sum to in
digent school districts for build
ings. Some felt that $45 was too
much to add but had pledged
themselves to vote for the bill
by some phase of the school tea
cher lobby, undoubtedly the most j
effective and best iookng in the
state.
As amended by the committee
under orders from the house it
calls for S.30 per child addition
and the $2,000,000 has bsen put
in a separate bill as a loan.
Something should be said about
the school teachers' lobby. Sever
al representatives are always on
hand. They keep members' desks
piled high with letters and tele
grams from school officials and
sometimes from more complncent
and less thoughtful school direc
tors. It is dollars to them for tea
chers are the ones who are get
ting the extra money from the
basic school fund. Oregon is now
fifth in teachers' salaries and leg
islators have voted to give $2,-
200,000 away from their county,
in the case of Multnomah, and
many thousands in the case of
other counties because of this ef
fective lobby. It has not been
proven and in fact, no attempt
has been made to prove that
schools are better in any way,
than before.
Tax legislation will be out Tu
esday. The committ.ee is asking
for passage of a resolution to re
move the state s right to levy a
property tax except for the state1
debt, to use excise tax funds for
two years to balance he hud-
get. It opposes use of income tax
funds for the state and is in dis
agreement over repeal of the
withholding tax, which in any
event will be amended so as to
cause little worry in eastern Ore-
gon. There seems little urge for
new taxes and little demand for
change in corporate excise tax.
The income tax may be changed
and if it is the federal tax de
duction will not be allowed and
the rates will be lowered so the
tnt.-il tax collected will be no
higher than now.
The bill to let county high
school districts elect hoarJs has
been introduced. LoiTds will be
elected under a plan much like
the rural school bo?rds are el
ected. The brand bill h.ns passed llu
house and as usual no one like:
it very well so the senate will
probably amend it further. Yip-

The most impertanl thing in this store
is something you'll never see
In your pharmacy you see many tilings that are impor
tant to you and your community.
You see a wide variety of attractive merchandise . . .
. . . shelves lined with important drugs, chemicals and
other medicinal products.
You see the pharmacist himself, a friendly person, a
reliable merchant, a good citizen.
But there's one thing you'll never see-and, in a sense,
it's the most important of all.
What is it? It's your pharmacist s professional knowledge
and teclmical skill.
To get his college degree and to pass the state examina
tions required of all pharmacists, he must have a knowl
edge of many sciences.
He knows thousands of different drugs their dosage,
usage and properties. And he has the practiced skill to com
pound them into the medicines your doctor prescribes,
the medicines needed to help you guard your health.
Get better acquainted with your pharmacist. Trade
with him he's a man you can rely on. Rrprinud from t copy
