ACTION vs. GRANDSTANDING
The first real progress made
toward shortening the present
session of the legislature was
accomplished this week in the
senate when 37 bills were intro
duced after screening tests by
the senate committee on educa
tion. The bills incorporate a few of
the numerous changes in the Or
egon school system recommend
ed by Dr. T. C. Holy of Ohio who
was hired by the legislative in
terim committee on education.
The principal bills would:
Let school districts adopt a
permanent tax base, reorganize
and enlarge school districts, re
codify state school laws, im
prove teacher training, reorgan
ize the department of education
and have the state education
superintendent appointed by the
being elected by the people,
board of education instead of
One of the bills would reduce
the terms of members of the
board of higher education from
nine to five years. This was re
quester by Governor McKay.

ditions of loans in broadcasts

troduced by Senator Frank Hil
ton of Multnomah this week.
Senator Hilton says some con
tracts he has examined exact as

RflDresentativp Vrannin w
iegler is preparing a bill that
would require that all revenue
from state income tax be deliv
ered to the general fund of the
state. This would remove the
temptation, Ziegler says, of spe

A two per cent sales tax bill is
being drafted at the request of
Sen. Rex Ellis that would fi
nance the $30-a-month increase
in the basic school levy and pay
soldiers bonus. It would apply to
the retail sales of all tangible
property, with some exceptions.
AFL LABOR BILLS
Two labor officials, Sen. Phil
Brady and Rep. Gust Anderson,
introduced bills this week relat
ing to public buildings.
One provides that all govern
mental agencies in Oregon give
preference in employment and
contracts to Oregon firms. The
other provides that the state,
counties, cities, school districts
and other such agencies must
call for competitive bids on con
tracts of more than $10,000, ex
cept in time of disaster.

Require money-spending ini
tiative measures to state the
maximum amount; get state
veterans preference for veterans
of Korean war and for all per
sons engaged in police opera
tions under United Nations; re
