Salem (U.R) The first session
of House and Senate of the
eighth annual Oregon Youth
Legislature convened Saturday
morning to consider legislation.
Two bills appearing before
the legislators Saturday are of
interest to voters throughout
the state. One of these, Senate
Bill 110, would provide for a
three per cent sales tax. This
bill, which passed in committee
with a first priority, do pass
recommendation, was defeated
in the Senate, just as the sales
tax was defeated in the Senate
in the 1955 legislative session.
Sixth Defeat
It would seem that the youth
legislators of the state see some
legislation in the same light as
do the senior legislators, for
they have defeated this bill each

work permit to appear in a forth

closed Saturday.
A spokesman for show pro
moter Claude Langdon said the
Ministry of Labor's ruling has
been sent "regretfully" to Miss
Firth at her home in Seattle,
Wash.
Labor Ministry officials could
not be reached for comment.
The decision, however, ap
peared to be in line with the
policy that work permits can be
granted to foreigners only when
comparable British talent is not
available.
Miss Firth was to have ap
peared in the ice show, "Wild

at London's Empress hall. The
producers said they would have
to find a replacement.

Another bill of interest is
House Bill 201, which Friday
passed out of committee with a
second priority, do pass recom
mendation. This bill is to pro
vide that relatives of people
who are on relief, are liable for
suit by the state if they do not
take care of their relatives when
financially able.
Favored by Gorornor
This type of legislation was
favored by Youth Governor Car
roll E. McCasland of Gresham,
who in his inaugural address
Friday stated that he was in
favor of welfare legislation that
would be of benefit to those who
really need it, not those who
are unwilling to support them
selves. The governor has stated that
if this bill passed the house and
senate he will sign it.
Final sessions were scheduled
in each chamber from 1:30 to
3:30 p.m. A joint session in the
house chamber was planned at
3:45 p.m. with Bud Titus of
Baker, president of the senate,
presiding. The two-day session
