Monroe Sweetland. Mil- waukie Democrat, called the ; measure. Senate Bill 53, "an ; act of political piracy." He aid ; the "stripping" down of the main functions of the secretary ' of state's office is being done by the Republicans "with the ex pectation that a Democratic secretary of state will be elect ed in 1956." Sheriff Terry Schrunk of I.Iultnomah county -has been prominently mentioned as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for secretary of state. Revenue Department Eyed The bill was drawn on recom mendation of an interim com' mittee that studied a proposed Department of Revenue, which would embrace-all revenue func- tions. The transfer of the Motor Vehicle Department was recom' ; mended as a first step in even I tual establishment of a Depart- mrnt of Revenue. The House had another politi cally hot fight on its hands as members took final action on Senate-approved measure to re move the ban against putting the ban against putting the emergency clause on revenue measures. Democrats opposed to the sales tax saw the measure, resolution that would be refer red to the voters, as a device to put a sales ax into effect and require the people to live with it at least a year before they could initiate a move against the tax. A sales tax has been turn ed down by Oregon voters five times. Proponents are frank to say the sales tax is one thing they have in mind, but they believe if the people saw how it work ed for a year, they would ac cept it. Work on Final Detail The House Taxation Commit tee went to work this week on final details of the program it will present to the Legislature to finance the cost of state gov ernment for the next biennium and close the gap of an expected $55,000,000 deficit. Not all teen-agers favor the proposal to lower the voting age from .21 to 18, as the senate judiciary committee learned Saturday. A hearing on a resolution to extend the vote to 18-year-olds found some teenagers for and some against. The resolution was introduced by Sen. Mark Hatfield, Salem Republican. Barbara Mahoney, 16, of Hermiston high school, said that many 18-year-olds we married, working and paying taxes. She said they have this taxation without representation when they don't have the right to vote. Dave Barrows, 19. Willamette University sophomore from Berkeley. Calif., said the right to vole should be coupled with ether rights of citizenship in cluding the rights to serve on juries and sign contracts, which they do not have. He said "we teenagers are too much moved by our emotions rather than by judgment." Should the Legislature adopt the resolution it would have to be referred to the voters as it involves the constitution. McKay To Withhold Final Approval on O&C Road Plan Portland U.P.) A Western Forest Industrial association spokesman said that Interior Secretary Douglas McKay has agreed to withhold- final appro val of proposed revisions - in O&C road regulations pending a U.S. Senate investigation. Leonard Netzorg, WFIA attor ney, announced that Sen. James W. Murray (D.-Mont.) had noti fied him of McKay's decision. Murray told Netzorg that the latest controversy over O&C right-of-way roads had been as signed to the Interior subcom mittee on Public Lands. Murray said staff attorney William H. Coburn had been as signed to the subcommittee for research and investigation. Vincent Hallinan Plans Increased Political Activity San Francisco U.R) Vincent W. Hallinan, Independent Prog ressive party candidate for pres ident in 1952 has promised to "redouble" his political activi ties now that he is out of prison The millionaire San Francisco lawyer arrived here yesterday after serving 14 months of an 18 month sentence at McNeil Island, Wash., federal prison for income tax evasion. He had served six months in the same prison in 1952 for con tempt of court while, defending Harry Bridges during the long shore leader's deportation trial. Met by Wife, Sons Hallinan's pretty wife, Vivian, and their six sons met him at the airport, along with 40 or 50 well wishers. Looking drawn, thin and pale after his confinement, the 58- year-old lawyer insisted that his prison term "didn't bother me a bit." And I'm not afraid of going back," he said. "Nothing will stop me from continuing to fight for liberal causes." 'Privilege and Honor' Asserting that "some of the best people" are being sent to jail now, Hallinan said it was "a privilege and an honor to be one of them." Hallinan also said he will fight attempts now under way to dis bar him. The Bar association has set a date for a hearing on j June 6. Referring to prison life, Hal linan complained that he was put to "sorting nuts and bolts I'm an expert now.

Berger, according to police. was driving too close behind a car, and skidded out of control when the other vehicle started to turn. Use Mail Tribune Want Ads McKay Will Visit Briefly in Salem .

American farming is rapidly be coming more of a business and less a way of life. Thats one of the many changes seen in the nation's future agricultural setup by L. Monthey, secretary of the American Society of Agronomy Twenty years from now, said Monthey, the average farmer will be a genuine business execu tive with his hands full of man agement problems and little of his own labor figuring in his production." Monthey, who edits Crops and Soils at Madison, Wis., also pre dieted that the farmer of 1975 will own a larger farm because there will be 25,000 fewer units than the 168.600 of 1950. He told delegates to the re cent 17th annual meeting of the Wisconsin Insurance Agency co operative here that modern pro duction methods are causing sweeping farm changes. Fewer Farms Althonsh farming is still an important segment of America's economy, Monthey said, "it is falling behind other industries in terms of gross income, num ber of people engaged, and per sonal income of workers." Only 15 per cent of the total national population now lives on operating farms, and that fig ure undoubtedly will be smaller by 1975, he pointed out. Since agriculture plays such an important role in the nation's economic life, added Monthey, this narrowing process w ill place greater responsibility on the persons who remain in farming. "One of the biggest problems facing agriculture, today," he continued, "is that of working more closely with young people, helping young farmers assume their future responsibilities." The Navy consumed 1,750, 000,000 pounds of food last year, enough to fill a freight train reaching from Newport, R. I., to Baltimore, Md.
