First of Four Major Adminis tration Measures Passed by Both Houses Fund Reduction Is Voted Down SALEM. Jan. 31. (AP) Manifest ing a, willingness to co-operate with the program of the new administra tion, the state senate yesterday gave Its approval to the planning commis sion bill, which thus became the first of the four administration measures to pass both the upper and lower houses. However, an amendment Imposed on the measure before it received the support of the senate, necessitates the concurrence of the house before It can go to the governor for his sig nature. Little Opposition Opposition to the act, which creates a planning commission of nine mem bers to act in an advisory capacity to the chief executive, though few In number, strove mightily to change x the prevailing opinion of the body. Only two or three members voiced, objection to the bill as a whole, while at least two others balked at the amount of the appropriation provided to' carry on the work of the board The final vote was 23 to 7. Senator James H. Hazlett, opening discussion of the measure, described the planning commission as a purely advisory body, designed to aid the governor In his program and ready to assist the cities and counties of the state at their request. He declared that all the objectionable features had been removed upon its first ap pearance in the ways and means committee. Francisco vlch Objects Senator P. M. Franciscovich objected to the measure on the grounds that no provision had been made for re moval of the members, and declared that should a new governor take of fice with the program of the com mission, it would be Impossible for him to line up the group to work In harmony with him. The Astoria leg islator ended by making a motion to amend section 3 of the bill to pro vide that "any member may be re moved at any time at the pleasure of the governor." The body resolved Itself into a com- mlttee of the whole to consider the measure section by section. Senator Frnnci6COvlch's motion was adopted. Would cut Funds As the clerk read the bill each sec tion was approved unanimously until the $30,000 appropriation was reach ed. At this point Senator Dean Walker, chairman of the ways and means committee, rose to his feet and Introduced a motion to cut the amount to 910,000. This, he added, together with nearly $20,000 remain ing from the old reconstruction ad visory board available to the planning commission, would total the amount called for In the measure. A rising vote on Walker's proposed amendment lost by a wide majority. The clerk quickly read the remain ing portions of the measure, and the committee adopted the bill as amended. The final vote on passage of the measure waa as follows: For: Altken. Alien, Best, Bynon, Chlnnock, Dickson, Duncan, Fisher, Franciscovich, Ooss, Hazlett, Heaa, Lee, Lessard, McCornack, McKay. Pearson, Stelwer, Strayer, Stringer, Wallace, Wheeler and Corbett. Against: Burke, Carney, Dunn, Bpauldlng, Staples, Walker and Zimmerman. TALENT GRI PLAY SATURDAY The Talent Grange play.

Lee OPTOMETRIST ANNOUNCES the RE-OPENING of his newly Remodeled Offices 103 N. Central Friday February 1st 0 TOPIC OF TALK AT Members of Medford Post met at the armory Monday evening, 1st Vice Commander Cole Holmes, taking the place of Commander I. E. Foy. who was with the Oleemen In their open ing concert. After a short business session the Auxiliary was invited In and a short talk was Riven by District Attorney Geo. codding on the criminal syn dicalism law. which some legislators, at Salem, are trying to take off the statute books. The Legion stands for putting this law back as it was prior to the last legislature and also for making It more strict. W, J. Looker gave a short talk on the proposed universal draft law, which would take the profits out of war, a measure the American Legion has sponsored since 1923 but which, he said, has been opposed by muni tion factory owners. Another bill cited as being mis understood by citizens, Is the bill to pay the last half of the adjusted compensation certificates. Foreign debtors of the United States govern ment have received contract revis ions which cost this country nearly five times the amount required to pay the adjusted service certificates In full. It waa pointed out, and the treasury has returned to big-income tax payers some 3.500.000,000 on the plea that they had paid the govern ment too much. . Incidentally, It was claimed, most of these returns were for war-time Incomes and Interest was paid In ad dition to the principal. Only the prospective payment to the veterans, however, la regarded as a "bonus.' The following figures were quoted in the post meeting as being the status of the adjusted service certifi cates on Sept. 30, 1934, the latest available date: Average value per certificate. S9B7. 50; applications received, 4,047,074; certificates Issued, 3,721.060; matur ity value. $3,674,662,928.00; certifi cates matured by death 189,200; val ue ot death maturities. 1 88.907, 049.00; certificates In force, 3,531. 866; maturity value. 13.485,665.897; loans made, 2.888.530; amount of loans, l,629,91f ,531.11; estimate re quired to retire outstanding certifi cates, $2,137,975,157.67. It was claimed that propaganda In the press that the government would be bankrupt If It attempted to pay the adjusted compensation certifi cates at this time has fallen on deaf ears In Washington, D. 0. "Every fin ancing program floated by the treas ury to meet overdrafts to pay gov ernment relief and recovery disburse ments has been oversubscribed by from $2,500,000,000 -to nearly (12, 000,000,000," It waa said. "Since July 1st, 1933, the government has been offered $36,033,943,700 more than It asked of congress, therefore, the Le gion is not alarmed about the gov ernment's credit. Just a short time ago, American Investors were so pan icky about the stability of the gov ernment's credit that they oversub scribed an Issue of treasury notes by a mere $4,400,000,000, or more than enough In Itself to pay off the re maining value of the adjusted com pensation certificates. "As the drumfire starts, the word from Washington to alt veterans Is this: Keep your heads. Join no bonus marches, be ready to give your sup port if word cornea from your own leaders," was the final word at the meeting. 77 DOG LICENSES T TO DATE Out of the 77 residents of Jack son county who to date have pur chased 1936 dog licenses, three are the owners of two dogs.
