PXGE ETOHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1933. GUI CAR LICENSE, Governor Calls On Law Makers to Reduce Fees, But Remember Credit Pro tection and Bond Issues SALEM. Jim. 34. (AP) Sending his fifth special message to the etate legislature. Governor Julius L. Meier called upon the lawmakers to change the present motor transportation act to reduce automobile license fees while at the same time protecting credit of the state already obligated br highway bond Issues. ' The governor, with his message, submitted the findings of his special committee named to Investigate the automobile license and highway situ ation. The governor' message, read to the senate late yesterday and to the house this morning was, In part, as follows: "Financial and Industrial condi tions demand a material reduction In Oregon's motor vehicle license fees. Five Major Factors. 'In conjunction with whatever de cision you may finally reach In the matter consideration must be given to five major factors entering into the highway situation; "First Outstanding state highway bonds and the conditions under which they were issued. "Second The one-third share of the license fees paid to the counties. "Third The annual allotment of monies from the state highway fund for secondary highways. "Fourth Proper maintenance and betterment of the state highway sys tem. "Fifth Federal aid and co-opratlve funds provided In connection there with by the highway commission, Heavy Bond Debt. "The presont state highway bond ed debt totals approximately 27,618. 7B0. If no further bonds are lsued the last bond will be retired In 1DI6. "With reference to the bonded debt you have, of course, no discretion. Its retirement must go forward In a busl. nessllke and legal manner, without recourse to the general property tax. "With respect to the second Item, namely the' one-third of the license fees allocated to counties, it must be borne in mind that many counties have Issued road bonds to be retired with funds received from this source. Other counties depend on this fund for county road purposes. . . liemember Maintenance. "The question of proper mainte nance and betterment of our hlgh- waya Is wholly within your discretion. "Necessarily for the safety of our highways and the protection of the Investment Involved, adequate pro vision must be made for maintenance and there must also be something In the way of an annual betterment pro gram. "Since 1036 Oregon has recolvod federal eld of more than 911,000,000. During the years 1081-83 the state also received federal emergency unemploy ment relief funde aggrgatlng more than 3.ooo,ooo. "Without going Into detail, It la sufficient to etate that If federal aid Is to be continued, Oregon muat pro vide co-operative funds, but whether this shall be continued la a, question for your honorable body to deter mine."

A crew of Investigates work out of Patton's office, from the card index, and report on the worthi ness of those who receive food. These Investigators receive no money for their work, and when someone Is found to be not deserving, or to be taking advantage of the commissary, he Is put on the blacklist and re fused next time be applies. Groceries are purchased from local stores and from local farmers, at the lowest possible cost, Patton said. Cash la paid to only two firms, Patton said, and that sparingly. A system whereby stores from which food is bought for the commissary receive no cash, but apply the credits on their delinquent taxes is being worked out, so the money comes dl ectly back to the county. A plan whereby a partial payment of taxes can be made to the county, with some bank acting as trustee, will he recommended by the grand Jury, pat ton said, which will enable the stores to turn In the credit slips on the de linquent taxes until they are paid In full and a tax receipt can be Issued. The lists of deserving and unde serving, prepared by Victor Tengw&ld under the old county court, has been Junked under the new system, except that It Is used as a reference by the Investigators. At the present time little discrimination between resi dents and "floaters" Is shown, but, Patton said, this angle will be work ed out Immediately. By using the county trucks, wood la also furnished the needy at a coat to the county of about 75 cents a cord. Any family head can get a tier of wood by working five hours at the county wood lot, near the fire hall, or by working five hours In the woods cutting the wood. Much credit goes to the boys at the fire hall, who oversee the woodcutting, Patton said, for the success of the plan to supply wood for work. Patton also declared that vege tables, fruits and other agricultural products which can be applied Indl wtiy on his taxes, under the same from the farmers whenever a satis factory deal can be made, and the farmer will receive a warrant for the products which can be applied dl- ectly on his taxes, under the same system used by the stores. Vege tables and milk are much In demano, Patton said, as much fresh milk Is given out at the commissary. Charges that patton was receiving a salary for his work, and that he was receiving a commission from the stores on all purchases, were vigor ously denied, both by Patton and the county court.

The sales tax came up for another bout at the legislature last night when a publlo hearing was held by the house committee on assessment and taxation to consider House BUI No. 130, which emanated from Jack son county and proposes a shelter tax exemption on homes up to (1500, with a tax In lieu thereof of 3 per cent on all sales. This sales tax was to be divided one-third to the state and two-thirds to the counties. Orange, Labor Against. . Few appeared to support the bill, while many arose to condemn it. Grange and labor leaders spoke against the sales tax, while real estate operators condemned the exemption of a particular class of real estate. ''Absolutely unconstitutional.' was the way one attorney, R. R. Hewitt, declared the transfer of credits would be, while Attorney McCarty of the legal staff of the legislature, said the constitutionality was In grave doubt. J. C. Barnes of Medford, originator of the plan, outlined It at length. He declared that shelter Is a necessity, that high taxes prevent working peo ple from owning their homes, that the shelter exemption of 91500 would encourage people to get homes of their own, and that the working class could better afford to pay S per cent on their purchases than about 20 per cent on the one-fourth of their In come representing the annual rent coot. He defended the sales tax with shelter exemption as the "fairest tax in the world." YSEu WORN-OUT, WEAK? Yakima, Wash. "Some years ago I felt worn-out and weak. Being a rail road man 1 got into this weakened state from over-work and loss of sleep, and no appetite. My head ached so badly I felt as If the top were coming off and finally an abscess developed causing more suffering," said W. F.

Explaining the measure, which has probably brought more lobbyist letters through the mails than any other bill before the house, the Portland physician declared no one could sanely object to the hill as It now stands. .

These officers, of course, boosted for their home counties, their debate taking up an entire recess period on the floors of the house of representatives today. Brigadier-General Rllea offered to settle the dis pute by having photographs of all district attorneys sent to his office for Inspection. Medford lobbyists are beginning to arrive. Porter J.

(AP) Rec ommendations that the business of fice of the state board of higher edu cation be moved from Salem to Cor- vallls and that the office of executive secretary be abolished, were made at a meeting of the board here yester day at which it was agreed that a second salary cut be instituted at once. The board decided to officially question the declaration of Coach Paul J. Schlssler that he did not know of a pending salary cut when he questioned a shortage In his check shortly before his recent resignation. Dean H. V. Hoyt of the university of Oregon school of business will have charge of the business office of the state board until the election of a controller next July 1. The board agreed that moving the office to Cor vallls is desirable Inasmuch as 55 per cent of the work originates there. Dr. E. C. Lindsay is now executive secretary of the board and his con tract will expire July 1. The legisla ture must amend the present law re quiring that the executive secretary maintain offices in Salem If the transfer of the work to Corvallls Is made and if the secretary post is to be abolished. The second general salary cut was to have taken place July 1, but the board In Its Monday session decided this action muat be taken at once.
