By ERIC ALLEN JR. ,
, Mail Tribune City Editor
Salem E. A. (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.

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
