BILL NOW A
STATE
dov. Meier Signs Measure
This Morning Extra Ses
sion of Legislature Cer
tain Nearly 600 Bills
Introduced.
SALEM, Ore., Feb. 14. (TP) The
first bill of major importance en
acted by the Oregon legislature
became a law with the signing of
t he Roguo river closing measure
by Governor Julius L. Meier today.
The elose of ttie fifth week of the
session, find with one more week
officially remaining of the 40-day
limit period, left hundreds of
other measures, many of them
placed In the important list, yet
remaining for final action and
consideration by the two houses.
The past week saw the first of
the power measures brought onto
the floor, while three other lead
ing administration measures were
yet to be reported out of commit
tees. Most of the taxation meas
ures wait notion, while appropria
tion bills, highway bills, and the
bulk of other legislation are still
in various stages of development.
The impossibility of completing
the necessary task before next Fri
day night vanquished what little
hope there may have been for
II
adjournment on schedule. The
overtime period is now being
placed between a week and
days.
Action has been the featuro of ;
both housea during the past few
days, both holding late meetlngH, l
and the senate continued in session !
today.
The one-man commissioner of ,
utilities measure was reported out
of the committee favorably last ,
night, and will perhaps be a spe
cial order of business early next ,
week. The Orange Power District;
tilll and tho hydro-electric mm-;
miHsion hill, are expected out of .
committees Monday. The taxation
Vltuatlon, becoming more entan-
Bllnp during the week by ultima- :
turns from real property tax pay-
ers for relief, have not been defin
itely formed, although committees
have worked late devising foma
plan of relieving property of much
of its burden.
Another major bill was disposed
of by the defeat In the house of
the old age pension measurei while
the free-text book bill has gone
half wpy through, with tho appro
val of the lower house. Tho senate
killed tho move for municipalities
assessing a two mill levy for main
tenance of municipal bands, and
the house on the floor killed the
bill regulating stock running at
large. 7,hese were the only three
bills defeated on the floor of both
houses, while tho governor has yet
to exercise his first veto.
me 1'ori oi i-oruami vuimma-
sion uct, which has been a matter
of contention during tho. entire
session, was disposed of this week
and Is now before the governor for
hte signature. Hearings during the
past week have been taken up with !
the prohibition referendum, a ;
tunnel commission act, the state
police system, taxation bills, and ,
other highway bills. None of these
have lM'en reported out of com-
inlttees. In addition there are
many minor bills which will take
nn tin. n h flnnr. RHIh are mill
coining into both houses.
The railroad bill, limiting num
ber of freight cars which may be
huuled to 70, after having passed
the senate by a bare majority, wns
recalled from tho house for recon
sideration, nnd has been set for
speclul order Monday. The basic,
sciences, is also up for final con
sideration in the senato Monday.
The lih week will nrobably seo
nlirht sessions on hoth sides of the
legislative halls.
New measures Introduced near
ed the 600 mark, a statistical re
view of accomplishment and activ
ities revealed. The house Intro-
ificed 32(1 while the sennte
brought In 263. Of this total only
141, or one-fourth, have been uis-
it.,.,i ,e nithet- l,v nnxgjice In both
houses nr killed and withdrawn.
Ono hundred forty-seven have
vonc half way thru, passing one ot
the houses. This leaves 301 still
In committees.
The governor has signed 311 bills,
13 of the house bills and 26 of the
v,.n,.ie r,r.i,u Klchteen others
have passed both houses and are
rrndy for the executive action. The
house has passed 74 others white
the senate approved 63 of its
own. iTlghty-fnur hills.have drop

drawn, Indefinite postponement
or defeated on the floor. The

PLAN

BY A MILLON
Also Impossible to Eliminate
Property ..Tax ;. Next .Year,
and Intangible Tax Re
vision Has Faults.
SALEM, Ore., Feb. 14. The
revised program of tho tax com
mittees of the legislature whereby
it was hoped to wipe out entirely
the state tax on property next year
underwent alterations at a joint
meeting last night, and under the
changes it will not be possible to
completely eliminate the property
assessment iu liy.
to increase
It is still the plan
the rate of the excise tax on cor
pora tttms from S to X percent.
White it ts still planned ulo to
increase the intangibles tax. If
re-enacted, from to S percent,
this tax will not, under the new
plan, be collected until next year,
and then on 1931 incomes as a
Btu rter instead of 1930 incomes.
It was further decided, tentatively
at least, not to interfere with tho
existing rates of the income tax.
This now ranges from 1 to 5 per
cent, and it had been proposed to
increase the range to 8 per cent.
Instead of wiping out entirely
the property assessment for next
year, estimated at $4.-4,S,240.SO,
tho new plan will miss that goal,
it was said, by St.Oufl.ooo

M.M'.itliS, Spain. Feb. 14.-
Tho government of lVemier tien
eral Damaso Herenguer, successor
to the irimo do Uivera dictator
ship, fell today, bringing to n head
it crisis which appeared lo he Hie
most dangerous of any faced by
King Alfonso in the courso ot his
long reign.
The king. accpllt!K (lie resigna
tion of C.encral iierenguer nnd his
cabinet, cancelled parliamentary
elections which were scheduled for
March 1 nd 15 nnd immediately
began conferences with political
loaders with a view to formation of
a new cabinet.
While the cabinet had been un
der fire for several weeks, indeed
from Its very inception in January,
l!t:t0, the situation which brought
its fall developed only late last
night when tho Count of Uonm
noaos and oilier itiioortant lilMiral
monarchist loaders withdrew their j
Rupp'.M'i of the cabinet's election
program. j
Nobody aiiemiits to deity the
gravity of tho situation which
many regard ns the most formid
able challenge to his poiitirnl poli
cies which the king has ever faced. )
All tho iefts and some of the
monarchists had repudiated the
March elections before do ltonia
nones announced his stand, and tho
oloctlons had become pretty much
; ti 1'arco, constituting widespread l'Q
Jecllon of Ilerengiiei 's political pro
I gram.
I . Tito king's problem now is to set
up some other stop-gap government
I until n new elections program CHn
j bo worked out and, equally import
j mil, tho issue of & constitutional
convention can ha decided.
There has been no official ex
pression, but It Is believed that the
king wants na constitutional ooti
vc:.t Ion now even (bough It is de
manded by most of the lefts an !
son-.e of (he monarchist groups.
Whatever the makeup of tho n- w
government, it is generally believed
that ono of its objectives "will be
general amnesty for ail prisoners
churged with participation in last
year's unsuccessful evolt.
In usually well Informed iniar
lers it was said that (ho liberal
elements which finally forced He
