26 Bills Auait Senate;
To Patterson's
;.Salem-U.R) The brand new
session of the Oregon Legisla
ture was off to an unprecedented
start today, with committees in
the Senate all ready to work on
a jam of 26 bills the most ever
introduced in the Senate on the
opening day of the session.
And legislators in both houses
were . pondering the inaugural
address of Gov. Paul L. Patter
son in which he advocated
means of raising more revenue
without resorting tot the - sales
tax. His recommendations in
cluded a levy of a six-mill state
property tax; elimination of fed
eral tax offset on personal state
income tax;: a business tax 4o in
clude partnership and' individual
operations of business as well as
corporations, and elimination of
the . ""sky-scraper" . clause and
other exemptions on corporate
income tax. , . .
, Gov. Patterson said Oregon
faces a "deficit of $45,000,000 in
its budget, for the-1955-57 bien
nium, or of more than $60,000,
000 if the state is to proceed
with its"; building program for
the state system of higher edu
cation and state institutions.
Reaction to his inaugural ad
dress was mixed. . , V - - .
v Senate , President Elmo E.
Smith, a Republican like iPat
tersoh, said: "I thought he did a
very good job of clarifying and
enumerating the problems this
legislature faces."
House Speaker Edward Geary
said: "I think the" governor cov
ered the field thoroughly. He as-
gon "want to -.maintain the serv
ices 'of the state they' are now
getting ... j, I feel he left it to
this Legislature to decide what
new ways are best to raise the
revenue needed to balance the
budget." :
Sen. Monroe' Sweetland, Mil
waukee, made the most outspok
en observations. He said: '"It is
amazing that a governor's mes
sage in 1955 could omit ref
erence to such . basic . issues as
public' education, turmoil in the
governnor's ownliquor and real
estate agencies,; the. burning
need for attention to old-age as
sistance, welfare and i public
health, repeal of the unconstitu

1953, recommendations on the
mounting problems of public
transit in metropolitan areas,

know until the day before the
dinner that Nixon X would be
there. When he did learn this,
the senator admitted he thought
of picking another subject, but
he decided to go through with
his prepared address when he
looked at it this way:
A'' "Isn't it a terrible thing to
think that -one shouldn't talk .

President's Plan ;
Would Cost Nation
Over $354,000,000 r
Postal Increase Said
In Interest of Public
Washington (U.F3 President
Eisenhower ' today asked ; Con
gress to hike postal rates and in
crease the pay and benefits of
federal workers at" a cost to the
government of more than ?394,
000,000 a year.
Mr. Eisenhower said in twin ,
messages to;i Congress that , the
mail rate increase "will be in the
public interest? to assure effic
ient service ioC the Post Office
Department, ?and the pay raise
boost is essential "to the further
improvement of the federal ca
reer service."
In an effort to. make the Post
Office - Department self-support- '
ing, Mr. Eisenhower proposed
that the postal rates on the first
three classes of mail be increas
ed. He did not spell out the ac
tual proposed increases. He said -the
postmaster general soon
will submit details to' raise the
rates to "more reasonable
levels."
Fourtnt Letters
However , the administration
stand r has been that three cent
postage on out of town mail
should be increased to four cents
and air mail upped from six
cents to seven cents.
- Included in Mr. Eisenhower's
postal, rate plan was a recom
mendation that the second class
rate on . newspapers and maga
zines should be increased "until
such matter makes a fair and
reasonable, contribution to. post -
al revenues."
Mr. Eisenhower :recommend-N
ed that the postal rate increases
be regarded as tentative pending
congressional L establishment of .
an mdependent commission
which would have the authority
to - prescribe future postal rate
adjustments under broad policy
guidance of Congress.
General Pay Increase
Mr. Eisenhower recommended
what amounted to an approxim
ate five per cent pay raise, for
all federal civilian workers. He ,
said ihat for the classified or
civil service employees' this
would add about $210,000,000 to
the federal -TmyrolLi A compaf
able wage.adjustment in the pos
tal service would . cost about
$129,000,000. - i v x - S 1
The civil service pay increas
es proposed by the - President
would range from 4.7 per cent
to 7.4 per cent according to a
complex formula based on the
employee's grade, length of ser-,
vice, and present pay.
'Dollarwise, the smallest boost.
$125 a year, would go to bottom -bracket
r grade -" 1 employee?
whose salaries now range 'from .
$2625 to $3105 a year. A grade
10 employee, in tne salary Dracjt-
et of $5800 to $6550, would get
a 300 a vear raise., .
The too raise, $800 a year,
would go to employees in grades
15. i and 17. whose present sai
aries range up from $11,600 a
year. However, the ceiling ox
$14,800 on civil service salaries
would not be raised. :
Health Insurance
He also r! recommended group;
insurance .benefits for civilian
f ederalJemployees. The govern
ment would contribute approxi
mately one-third of the cost. The
contribution was - estimated at
about $55,000,000. annually. r
Slightly less than $1,000,000
people would be affected by the
President's civil service pay in--
e r e a s e recommendation' and -about
