Musa Says Taxpayer Only Socked on Head By Legislature Salem (CP& Sen. Ben Musa (D-The Dalles) declared Thurs day on the Senate floor "this Legislature hasn't done any thing for the taxpayer except to sock him in the head." The senator's observation as made during the discussion of House bill 87 which has had a rocky road in the Legis lature, but was passed by the Senate with 11 votes against it. The bill would enable the State Tax Commission to charge taxpayers a fee when a restraint warrant was issued for collection of delinquent state income taxes. The original bill called for a fee of $10 but this was re duced to $5. "I think it is high time for this Legislature to do some thing for the downtrodden tax payer," Musa declared. Law Said Passed in 1911 House bill 246 repealing a law providing for appoint ment by the governor of trus tees for the McLaughlin home in Oregon City Vas passed. Sen. Monroe Sweetland (D Milwaukie) said the law was passed in 1911, but that no trustees were ever appointed. The McLaughlin home, a na tional shrine, is administered by a local society and Gov.

A bill to permit peoples utility districts to issue bonds without a vote of the people was returned by the Senate to its Taxation Committee. Sen.

THORNTON Attorney General GEROLD F BARTZ Assistant Attorney General LChicken Trinidad New Flavor Flair From Trinidad, land of Ca lypso and a true appreciation of Angostura aromatic bitters, comes this recipe for chicken Trinidad that needs only a tossed green salad for a mem orable main course. For each four persons, proceed like this: 2 pounds fryer, quartered cup olive or salad oil V cup minced onion A cup minced green pep per 2 cups rice Va teaspoon saffron, option al 1 4 -ounce can mushrooms and broth 1 1 teaspoon Angostura aro matic bitters In an iron kettle or Dutch oven, brown chicken in olive oil. Remove chicken. Brown rice, onions and green-pepper in kettle. Place chicken on top of rice. Add mushrooms and broth. Dissolve saffron in one cup of bouillon; add Angos tura aromatic bitters and pour in kettle. Cook over low heat, covered, wi t h o u t stirring. After 10 minutes add second cup of bouillon. Cook addi tional 10 minutes or until rice is dry and fluffy. Lamb Shashlik Lamb is an April plentiful. Boneless lamb shoulder is a best buy. It will never taste more exciting than when pre pared like this, strung on skewers, broiled to brown crispness. Six servings. 2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder 1 garlic clove Ji cup salad oil , V cup vinegar 1 teaspoon Ac'cent 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1 teaspoon Worcestershire - sauce ' Dash cayenne Few drops Tabasco Cut lamb in one-inch cubes if you haven't had meat man do it. Rub bowl with slashed garlic clove; leave in bowl. Add salad oil, vinegar and seasonings; mix well. Add lamb cubes; let stand several hours, turning occasionally. Drain. String on skewers; broil 20 minutes, turning to brown. For dinner, leave on skewers. For picnics, later in the season, slide off skewers into split, toasted frankfurter buns. Soak - Simmer - Season Dried Beans and Peas Plentiful legumes are pack ed with energy. They are thrifty, versatile and satisfy ing. Most popular varieties of dried beans and peas include pea or navy beans, Great Northern, small white, pinto, red knidney and lima beans, and green and yellow split peas. Black eyed peas are highly thought of in many areas especially when served with mustard or turnip greens. Soak. First of all pick over the beans or peas and wash thoroughly in cold water. It is desirable to soak them over night. At least six hours soak ing is essential; more time is desirable. For six servings, start with two cups of dried beans or peas and one quart of cold water. Add teaspoon of salt when ready to cook. Simmer. Cook them in the water in which they are soaked to save all those good vitamins and minerals. Do not add soda or you will lose some of the vitamins. Keep the heat low. Simmer, do not boil. Watch the pot; add water to it from time to time. You'll find they take up quite a lot of water, as they cook. Season. Dried beans and peas are so mild that they re quire dashes of this and that to make them tasty. An easy way to flavor is to cook, beans with salt pork, sausage or ham bone. To cooked beans, add catsup and bacon drippings; or chili sauce; or sprinkle with grated cheese and bread crumbs and brown in the oven. Many folks like them Mexican style which means that you cook them with ba con rind and add a minced clove of garlic or minced onion, a dried red chili pep per or chili powder during the last hour of cooking. Serve. Serve them with something salty or sour; some thing fresh and crisp or some thing bright and spicy. Place a mound of hot cooked beans or peas on a platter and sur round with fried sausage links or cakes and broiled pine apple slices. Avocado Reminder Never pinch or squeeze an avocado. Pinching makes the meat turn dark., To test for ripeness, hold fruit in palms of both hands. If it yields to gentle pressure, it is ready for use. , April Abundance of Pork, Lamb, Poultry Pork, fresh and cured, is back on many tables as lower prices attract consumers.

Lamb cuts (from last year's lamb) make very good eating at small cost if you choose cushion shoulder roast; lamb shoulder for pot roasting, for cutting up for lamb kabobs or shaslik, for stew, goulash or curry. Lamb shanks and breast of lamb are fine fare when oven-barbecued. Spring lamb is a luxury item. Poultry continues with gen uine bargains in broiler-fryers and turkeys. Hens are laying more eggs for the baking of better breakfasts, tender cus tards and myriad other uses. Milk production is way up, encouraging us to enjoy cot tage cheese in salads with fruits and vegetables; cheddar cheese in that perfect lunch eon or supper specialty known as toasted cheese sandwiches. Vegetable bins are a delight beyond compare. Asparagus season is short; make the most of it, hot as a vegetable, cold as a salad. Artichokes are es pecially big and handsome. We've sighted new peas and and new potatoes; a delect able twosome often combined in a cream sauce whenthe season is brand new. There's new green cabbage, tender young carrots, snowy cauli flower, crisp celery in . big stalks for cooking, hearts for salads and relish trays. Lots of lettuce and romaine for salad making along with avo cados and tomatoes. Zucchini and summer squash; cook them with stewed tomatoes and a bit of oregano for new vegetable excitement. Fruit Displays End-of-the-storage season for apples; refrigerate; use them soon. Last of the Anjou pears. Strawberries and canta loupes in the fancier market displays. Grapefruit seems the juciest we remember. Rosy red rhubarb for saucing; try brown sugar for a change. Good Buys Plenty of walnuts, honey, peanuts, peanut butter, and lard.
