Salem-IUPteLeglative coun
pi Sam HJley said today
there has been more pre-legis-lative
planning lor the 19(1
Oregon Legislature than any
session before in history. It
convenes Monday.
Haley and his staff tf seven
ttorneys do legal work for
the Legislative Counsel com
mittee, made up of legislators,
plus all other legislators and 1
many state agencies. ' 1
At present the staff is
plunged into one of its main '
functions drafting measures !
of all kinds that legislators
will introduce.
ComparabU To 1959
Haley, a short man with a
big cigar and crewcut, has
drafted or is drafting 631 bills
and resolutions. This is com
parable to the pre-legislative
load in 1959, although actu
ally 16 less.
Some 147 measures are
completed and ready for in
troduction. Another 145 are
in rough draft and 339 are
pending.
Haley is working with the
state finance department in
drafting all appropriation bills
concerning the governor's
1961-63 budget. This alone
amounts to about 105 bills.
Bulk of the bill drafting
will occur during the session.
His office drafts about 50
per cent of all bills. The other
half is done by state agencies,
private organizations and indi
viduals. Measures can only be
introduced by a legislator.
In 1959 Haley's staff han
dled a total of 1,435 measures.
Recommendations Made
The counsel committee is
making several recommenda
tions designed to make the
legislature operate more
smoothly. They include:
1. A new procedure for
processing bills.
2. An all-day" orientation
conference for legislators on
processes and procedures the
second day of the session, first
full scale program of its kind
in Oregon.
3. Simplified, standard
binders to hold bills-eliminating
cumbersome, more expen
sive books.
Also recommended is a pri
ority system on legislation to
induce early introduction of
bills.
'Advance Sheets'
A proposal mainly for the
public is periodic issuance of
"advance sheets" of laws
passed so far in the legisla
ture. They would be in the
form of paper back booklets
available at cost to the public
at intervals of one month to
six weeks during the session.
At present, copies of laws
passed by a legislature are
not available until 90 days
after the session ends.
Haley said various state
groups and others have indi
cated an interest in this man
ner of keeping up to date on
the legislature's activities.
Minister's Housing
Money Not Taxable
Portland-IUPII-Money paid io
a minister in lieu of housing
is not taxable by the state.
That ruling was handed
down Wednesday by Multno
mah County Circuit Judge
James W. Crawford.
Judge Crawford issued the
ruling in overruling a demur
rer by the state in the case
brought by Rabbi Julius J.
Nodcl against the State Tax
Commission.
The case arose from Rabbi
Nodel's claim for exemption
under gross income of a year
ly $2,000 housing allowance
paid him by his former con
gregation, Temple Beth Is
rael, Portland.
Judge Crawford said the
slate law which exempts
rental value of a dwelling fur-!
nished a minister as part of
his compensation applied in
Rabbi Nodel's case.
