With less than one half of its
contemplated and required work
completed last Monday, the 48th
day of the current session, the
Oregon Legislature started on a
heavy schedule that if main
tained will not break any records
for lenght of session costs.
The end? That's like gambl
ing on the Alaska ice break
only the stakes are not as high.
For many sessions the "Third
House" has been conducting a
pool on day, hour and minute
the legislature will sine die.
They will be at it again this ses
sion and the fun of it no one
ever comes close. There are too
many tangents of temperament
(collectively), weather, at the
capital or at the home country,
leadership and ability to take the
grind, and grind it is.
NEW BILLS INTRODUCED
New bills introduced the past
week would:
Provide that Oregon drivers
shall take an examination every
six years. Rep. Guy Jonas, (D)
Salem who wrote the bill says,
"Attention is long overdue to
persons who continue to drive
even after becoming physically
disabled to the point that their
every movement is restricted and
to those who have had impaired
vision since taking tests."
Rep. Glen M. Stadler, (D) Eu
gene, asks for a constitutional
amendment that will offer the
repealing of the section that now
reserves solely for highway use
the funds derived from gas tax,
license fees and other auto taxes.
Reps. Eddie Ahrens (R) Turner
and W. J. Hunt (R) Woodburn
would allow oral consent of a
person arrested for drunk driving
for submitting to intoxication
tests. Now written consent is re
quired. A gasoline regulation bill by
Reps. Al Flegel and W. O. Kel
say both Democrats from Rose
burg, would provide for whole
sale price differentials by geo
graphic zones but would prohibit
different prices to retailers with
in a zone except for "reasonable
quantity discounts" and certain
cases of distant location, and
woul dprohibit any, future estab
lishment of company-owned re
tail establishments.
Other new bills would:
Require the county court to
vacate any county road not used
by the public for 16 years unless
such vacation would deprive a
property owner of access.
Permit a motion by defendant
for judgment of acquittal in a
criminal action after presenta
tion of the prosecution in case,
and if such motion granted it
preclude another prosecution for
same crime.
Authorize counties to regulate
solocitors for charities.
