of Limitation Tax
Proposed.
Referring to a vote of the people
the question of repealing the 6 per cent
limitation tax law now in effect in
this state, and limiting the life of all
millage taxes in Oregon to two years,
are proposed in two resolutions intro­
duced by Senator Smith of Josephine
county.
Both proposals. If approved by the
legislature, will go before the voters
at the next general election, unless a
special election should be called before
that date. Provision is made in the
resolutions for the appointment of a
committee to prepare arguments in
favor of the measures.
Reapportionment Measures Introduced
The membership of the senate would
be increased from thirty to forty mem
bers and that of the house of repre
sentatives from sixty to eighty mem
bers under a measure to be submitted
to the people In accordance with a
joint resolution introduced by Repre­
sentative Lynn, of Multnomah.
Control of the programme for re
apportionment of legislative districts
and making new congressional districts
will be placed in the hands of 10 mem
bers, if Senator Upton’s joint résolu
tion is adopted. The resolution calls
for a committee of five from the senati
and five from the house, the president
and speaker being included, to consid
er all proposed legislation along that
line.
With several members of the senate
and the house having ambitions to gc
