PAGE TWO THE NEWS AND THE HERALD. KLAMATH FauLS. ORE. March 10. 1941 CIGARETTETAX ALSO KILLED BY LATE VOTE (Continued From Page One) clons, and 10 per cent tor school. Sen. W. H. Stelwer (R.Wheel er), chairman of the senate as sessment and taxation commit tee, opened the debate, but he refuaed to recommend It. Dead Hat" Sen. W. E. Burke (R-Yamhill), opening the procession of sena tors who spoke against the house-approved bill, asked "why throw a dead rat in the lap of the electorate, which has defeat ' ed this measure four times al ready." Host of the opposition sena tors contended it would be futile to pass it, because the people would kill it anyway. Several senators added that it is unfair to tax the sale made by poor people. Sen. H. R. Kauffman (R-Lln coin) only senator to support the bill, said it is necessary to In crease pensions and to five re lief to property taxpayers. Sen. W. H. Strayer (D-Baker) said the blU would hurt the farmer, and that it is unjust be cause it doesn't tax the persons most able to pay. He said it would drive industries from the state, and charged that Rep. Wank J. Lonergan (RMultno man) introduced the bill tor "po litical purpose. The only senators supporting the bill were Best. Booth, R. E Jones, Kauffman, McKcnna and Wipperman. All are republi cans. Cisjaret Tax The elgaret tax of two cents a package was believed dead in ' senate assessment and taxation committee, since it would take the votes of 30 of the 29 en - tors to bring it on the floor. The house defeated 28 to 2T bill to provide for promotion and advertising of agricultural products, while it approved and . sent to the rsnata a resolution asking the state liquor commis sion to increase liquor prices as much as possible to provide more old age pension revenues. SALEM. March 15 Wr The road to adjournment by tonight was believed dear as the 41st Oregon legislature met early to day. A senate -house conference committee paved the way for the session's end last night by agreeing on amendments to the unemployment compensation law. The amendments provide for payroll tax rates of 2.7 to 4 per cent when the unemployment fund to less than S7.000.000, 1 to 4 per cent when the fund is be tween $7,000,000 and $14,000. 000, and 1 to 2.7 per cent when the fund to more than $14,000. 000. This amendment is the same as that written by the sen ate, except that the $7,000,000 figure was $9,000,000 in the sen ate bill. The fund now totals $11,000,000. Seasonality Law The house conferees accepted in senate seasonality amend ment, giving benefits to most seasonal workers at any time during the year, rather than only during the seasons in which their industries operate. The senate committee mem bers accepted the house amend ment increasing the minimum benefits from $7 to $10 a week, or six per cent of the highest quarter's earnings; and reducing the waiting period for benefits from three to two weeks. School Bill Dies The senate voted 17 to 12 to return the administration bill to equalize school taxes on a state wide basis to the assessment and taxation committee, which means the measure probably is killed. The measure will automatical ly die If the legislature adjourns as expected. Twenty votes would be required to place It back on the calendar, and only 12 senators voted not to return it to committee. Sen. Rex Ellis (R-Umatilla presented the motion to refer the bill back to committee in an effort to kill it. Eastern Oregon counties under the measure would psy more school taxes than they would receive.

German forces in Bulgaria were report ed about the same time to have wheeled out hundreds of fight ers, bombers and transport planes on their new landing fields ready for Instant action. As reports of the British landings coupled with the be lief that Britain was occupying the southern half of the Greek mainland spread through Yugo slavia, trucks loaded with fully equipped Yugoslav troops rumbled through the streets of Belgrade and railway stations teemed with conscripts called to active service. Stiffening Toward Nasls Yugoslavia has been making military preparations for days while dickering over German demands that she Join the axis The first Yugoslav reaction to the reports was a stiffening of Yugoslavia's attitude toward Germany. Government sources indicated that an attempt would be made to forestall any fur ther pressure "until the situa tion of Greece is clarified." German sources at Sofia, the Bulgarian capital, said that even if five British divisions had dis embarked in Greece, the Ger man troops in Bulgaria and Rumania outnumbered them six to one. One German said the British would be fighting with their backs to the sea, making possible "another Dunkerque." (Berlin professed to have no confirmation of the reports that the British had landed in force on Greek soil.) Reports of the British ex pedition a vast multiplica tion of the aid which the royal air force has been giving the Greeks - came from neutral diplomats.
