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.

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.
