Carrying of classification as well
as registration cards became
mandatory today for all draft
registrants who were less than
45 years old when they reg
istered. National selective service
headquarters said, however, that
draft boards had been authorized
to be "liberal" with delinquents
who straighten out their records
In the next two weeks.
Objective of the requirement
that both cards be carried was
to reduce the number of persons
delinquent for failure to. keep in
touch with their boards a num
ber that draft officials said was
only a fraction of one per cent
of all registrants.
Those failing to carry both
cards on their person "at all
times" risk penalties as high as
five years in prison and a $10,
000 fine.

SALEM, Feb. 1 Tho Sen-
ato killed 24 to 2 today a pro
posal to permit monthly pay
ment of state income taxes, Indi
cating it also would reject a
plan to collect the taxes by de
ducting them from salary
checks.
Income taxes now are paid
semi-annually or annually. The
bill, by Sen. Lew Wallace of
Portland, would have permitted
quarterly or monthly payments,
also. The Senate left the quarter
ly provision in the bill,, and will
act on It tomorrow.
No Major Changes
Wallace said the monthly pay
ment provision would help 150,
000 war workers in Portland to
pay their taxes, but Sen. Dean
H. Walker, Independence, chair
man of the assessment and taxa
tion committee, said there is no
need for monthly payments, and.
that the administrative costs of
collecting them would be prohi
bitive. Chairman Giles L. French.
Moro, of the house taxation and
revenue committee, said the
committee would begin submit
ting its tax program next week,
but that there would be no ma
jor changes made.
Avoid Deadlock
Hoping to eliminate the possi
bility of deadlocks such as de
layed the organization of the
senate for two days last month.
sens. Marshall Cornett of Klam
ath Falls and Walker, and Rep.
Henry Semon of Klamath Falls
introduced a proposed constitu
tional amendment providing for
an odd number of members in
each house. ' -
The number of representa
tives would be increased from 60
to 61 and the number of sena
tors from 30 to 31, so that a tie
vote in choosing officers would
be impossible. If the legislature
approves, the people would vote
on it in November, 1944.
Rep. C. L. Lieuallen, Pendle
ton, and 11 senators introduced
the American , Legion's bill in
the house today, to provide edu
cation for .soldiers returning
from the war. They would get
$75 for the first month in school.
$50 for each of the next eight
months, and $35 for each month
after that,, with a total limit of
three years. ' ; '- v.;
WHOLESALE TABLE
EUGENE, Feb. 1 0P) Lane
county dairymen hiked the
price of wholesale table milk
supply from 75 cents a pound
butterfat content to 00 cents
Monday morning, putting it up
to the distributors to meet the
losses under the 13 cents
quart OPA retail ceiling.
Distributors of the Eugene
area promptly cut "cream lines '
from four per cent down to 3.5
which may absorb nearly half
the loss, and were meeting with
local OPA officials today to dis
cuss some minor price changes
which may help a little.
Organization of a state-wide
protest against OPA policy tf
"blocking price doors after pro
duction costs have gone through
the roof" were being continued
dairymen said. Flans for the
organization were made here
Saturday at a meeting of Lane
and Douglas county dairymen.
