(Al) Littrell; who is serving his -first term as a Jackson county legislator, says he knows Ihe's a freshman at this business of making laws and is acting accordingly. Ordinarily a quiet man, Al has taken the position that his job this session is to listen, to study, and to vote his convictions and as his constituents want. He's been a co-sponsor or spon sor of only two bills so far, this session, one which would pro vide for compulsory and regular inspection of automobiles, and the other one .which would lib eralize the regulations having to do with casting absentee ballots. (The latter was introduced at the suggestion of Mrs. Bereth P, Hopkins, Jackson county clerk, Littrell reported, and he said it appears unlikely that it can be cleared through the legislature, at least partly , because the sup port promised Mrs. Hopkins by other county clerks has not materialized.) Meat Inspection Measure One of Al's interests during the session has been a state meat inspection measure, which is supported by the Southern Ore gon Meat Packers association. Orrin L. Brown, of the Medford Meat company, has been one of the strong supporters of the bill. Al is dubious about the chances of this one, too, unless it can be made self-supporting. As drawn, it calls for a general fund appropriation to pay the cost of inspection, an estimated $400,000 : annually, , a"hd with money as tight as it is around this- session, the powerful ways and means committee likely will not allow it to go through. If, however, it could be chang ed to call for a 10 or 15 per cent hundredweight fee, atitiihe of slaughter, to pay the costs, Al said he thinks the bill would have a chance. 1 Another bill in which Al is interested is one submitted by the Organized Trailer Owners nf Oreeon. who recently em ployed- Attorney Edward C Kelly, Medford, to draw up thpir measure, to change the hasis on which trailer homes are taxed. Littrell said Monday he has been . informed that the House rules committee will not ap nrove introduction of the bill (The deadline for bills being in troduced by individual memoers has passed, and all new ones must get the approval of "the rules committee.) ; - -Delayed Too Long This is a case where a meas ure has been; delayed too long in being submitted to a repre sentative, and while this deci sion could be reversed, it is un likely that it will be. Al and the charming Mrs. Lit trell 'are leaving this week for California, where he has busi ness, and where she is going to visit her grandchildren. "I'll really get lobbied down there." she remarked. ! E. H. (Ed) Mann, the "dean" of Jackson county's delegation, is chairman of the House elec tions and reapportionment com' mittAA which Mnndav afternoon held a hearing on House Bill 347, haying to do with the filing of campaign expenses by candi dates and their committees. The hearing was particularly interesting because of . the asso- ciations of those connected with thp bill and who appeared to testify regarding it. It V was introduced by Mrs. Maurine Neubereer wife - of Oregon's new junior senator, and by Elmer Deetz, Canby, the ''gallon-jug" dairyman who was as responsible as any man for the milk control law last November. Mrs. -Neuberger presented the bill for the committee's con sideration, pointing out that the principle of filing campaign ex penditures and contributions be fore, as well as after, an elec tion, is , well established else where, 'and gives the voters a chance to see who is supporting whom, and spending how much doing it, before the votes are cast. Mc.Call Testifies One of those .testifying re garding the bill was Tom Mc Call, Portland, newspaperman and radio commentator who was defeated in his campaign for election to Congress at the last general election by Mrs. Edith Green. McCall, too, supported the principle of such election expenses being filed before the election, but warned the com mittee" that the law should have same teeth to prevent inequities arising - when , one , "naive and well-intentioned candidate" fol lows .the letter of , the law, and his opponent doesn't. James T. Marr, executive secretary of the Oregon State Federation of Labor, and C C. Chapman, editor of the Oregon State federation of , Labor, and Phone 2-5336 or 2-5897 M; C. LININGER & SONS C-'C. Chapman, editor of the Oregon Voter , (two men whose opinions are diametrically : op posed on many perhaps most issues ol public importance), joined in opposing one provision of the measure which, they felt," was unworkable, unenforceable and discriminatory. This provision says: "Each candidate . . shall have but one political committee ' and such subcommittees as are deemed necessary. Such committees shall a all times be under. Nthe direct control and complete su pervision of the political com mittee . . ." ; Both Marr and " Chapman pointed i out that this would, in effect, prevent any group from getting together in support . of a - candidate and still keeping their freedom of action. Final Witness The final ' witness ' before Mann's committee was .Ted-Tib-bett of the State Republican Central committee, who also ob jected to provisions of the bill in its present form. Mann announced that further hearings will be conducted on the measure. And it looks as though it will be considerably amended before it is ever re ported tothe floor of the house for action. It's . impossible for any one newspaperman to "cover the legislature." In this press room (which was so quiet on Sunday afternoon) there are now about a dozen men and women, all busily engaged-in reporting one phase or another of the many activities which go on as the 90 members from all over the state gather to consider proposals for new laws. ' - About all one person can do is to pick out particular areas of interest and try to convey some of the sense of what goes on. Earringlon Report For instance, this morning I sat on a public hearing regard ing the so-called "Barrington re port," which is a massive dom ment prepared by a New York research firm on the make-un of state employees' salaries. lhe hearing was conducted by Dr. Orval Eaton, state renresen tative, and Sen. John Merrif ield (both of them occasional Med ford visitors, by the way) of the joint ways and' means com mittee. The 'meeting was to brine state department heads up to date on progress being made in getting the report in shape for submission ,to the legislature. It was lobvious that many of 4he state employees are upset by the report, and by its implications, whereby some employees are re duced in salary, some raised, and some kept where they are. To this ' observer it looks doubtful that the report will be adopted in its entireity, for it is Summer Schedule Of Classes Set ' On Campus at SQC Ashland The 1955 summer session schedule at Southern Or e gon college has been released by Registrar Mabel W.

Enrollment for the summer session will be on June 13 and the session will continue to Aug ust 5. The post session will be from August 8 to 26. too far along in the session for the report to be completely re written, and there is too much obligation to particular pnases kof it to be ignored. : ' - My suggestion to the several hundred state employees in Jackson ( county would be: Breathe a little easier. ; .There's even some talk, among . both employees of the state tind newsmen who have followed the progress of the re port, that the entire project, which, cost the state some $50,- .000, can be written off as a bad job.
