Uniform Building Laws at.
Hearing Before State So
lons Fishing and Dog
Legislation Aired.
SAI.KM. Feb. t() Opponents
j of the proposed atutu building code
ami aiitl-trust act charged mich
legislation if enacted would force
linns out of business, keep peo
ple out of the state and retard
development. These statements
against the measures were made
at. two of the four public discus
sions held before the Oregon leg
islative committee lust night. Other
bearings were held on opening the
Willamette river to commercial
fishing ami proposals for dog legis
lation. Opening discussion In favor of
the uniform code, William Uriggs,
Ashland, chairman of the league,
of Cities, sponsor of the bill stated
the organization represented fifty
i cities, virtually all in the atate of
j any size except ('orvallis. They
were interested in a building code
because it was next to Impossible
for officers to establish such codes
for each city.
Portland Uneffccted
Included with the building struc
tural code are also tho codes of
electricians uud plumbers, amended
to be made more effective, as rep
resentatives of theso groups re
ported. II. 10. Plummet', Portland
building Inspector, stated the meas
ure would not ul'fect Portland but
he believed it u good code, Includ
ing many of Portland's codo fea
tures, and ho would favor hiicIi
legislation.
('barging that, tho codo would
kill the building business, and that
ii places too much power in, tho
hands of tho labor commissioner
and his additional deputies neces
sary to enforce tho act, Krnest
Kroener, Portland, led tho opposb .
lion. 1 lo doclared the bill would
give tho labor lumissloner .pow
er (o take a man's living away from
him through its restrictions and
demands that construction bo dono
a certain way and that only certain
things could bo used.
Bit' Held Outrage
He citaructeri.cd the bill as an
"outrage" and that It doprives the
small homo owner, business man
and even farmers from putting up
what buildings they could. He
declared It would keep people out
of (tin state, instead of bringing
in desired citizens. Foes for per
mits, angregatlng up to $U00,000,
would bo collected by tho commis
sioner and additional deputies
needed for enforcement , ynt no
provision Is made for accounting
for this fund.
Opponents or tho proposed anti

Represent utives Kmmelt Howard,

would accomplish Just tho opposite,
and would result in chain stores
