|6 BILLS PASSED IN 4 WEEKS AT SALEM With But Two Weeks of Ses sion Left Legislature Must Speed Up. Salem.—Both house* returned work Monday after the uaual week-end ad journment with but two week* in which to accomplish most of the real work. While the various committee* have been busy whipping proposed leg islation Into shape and a number of measures of minor importance have received attention In either house, the consolidation program and income tax legislation, the two moot important is sues to be acted upon at thia session, had not been pussed upon by either house. After being in session four weeks only sixteen bills had passed both houses, all of minor Importance, with the possible exception of the Roose velt highway bonding bill, a measure sponsored by the const counties, which in effect continues the Roosevelt high way act of 1921. It will require dili gent work on the part of both houses if their calendars are cleared before the forty day constitutional limitation expires. Hall Bill Tabled. With the tabling of the Hall bill in the senals the Issue of consolidation of state department* stalled in the senate last week The Hall bill, pass age of which was urged by Governor Pierce, was laid on the table by a vote of IT to 11, and it is generally be lieved thia action means the death of the bill, so far as the senate Is con cerned. Senator Corbett Introduced a con solidation bill, which In effect brings al) the functions of the state govern ment under the supervision of the gov ernor, secretary of state and state treasurer, who ait a* a commission of three to administer state affairs. Rep resentative Carkin. who Joined with Senator Johnson in the introduction of a consolidation bill in both houses, baa prepared a consolidation bill of his own. which differs radically from the Corbett bill, in that it leavee the secretary of state and state treasurer out of the scheme entirely and divests these two constitutional officers of all the authority and duties they now have in conduction with the administration of state business a* members of the board of control. The sentiment In both houses seems to be tn favor of rearrangement of the state government, and efforts will be made to harmonise the conflicting views. Income Tax Compromise Likely. Income tax' legislation made no progress during the past week, but a compromise measure Ip in the making and It Is believed the various taction i will be able to get together on a bill that will be acceptable to the legis lators. The McMahan bill, which was thF administration income tax measure, is being used as the basis for the com promise. Amendments have been drawn which are said to have the ap proval of Governor Pierce. Mapy bills dealing with assessment and taxatlor have been introduced and they are still In committee. There ar* 35 such measures In the hand* of the house committee and 16 In the senate committee, so that In the joint com mittee on assessment and taxation there are 61 bills. These include all the measure* intended to remedy some of the Ills of the taxpayer. And more ar* promised There I* little prospect of a sev erance tax. such as Governor Pierce suggested In his campaign. The gov ernor wanted a severance tax on tim ber on land not now on the tax roll. The severance tax bill which has ap peared In the house places a tax on all natural resources In the state, above or under ground and In the water. It goes far beyond anything the governor wanted. Road legislation ha* received little attention so far and irrigation, which was expeoted to be a center of interest, has scarcely been mentioned. Allen Land Bill Passed. With only one dissenting voioe rais ed In objection the American Legion’s anti-allien tend holding bill passed the house. Representative Fletcher of Polk county opposed the passage of the bill on the ground that it would drive out a valuable typo of farm laborer which could not be replaced by Americans, since they will not d%the menial labor new performed by Japanese. The bill prevents the owning or leasing et land by aliens not eligible to cftl|OMhlp. By an emphatic aegativ* vote, the house killed a house bill providing for th* retirement of Judge* of th* su preme court of Oregon and payment for th* remainder of their live* of twe- thirds of the salaries they draw at the time of retiremeat. The retirement qualifications were that th* retiring judge should have served at least M year* a* a Judgs, of whieh time U TRt yeers must have been aa a supreme •ourt justice. Herd’s bill to prevent motion pie tar* distributor* from forcing con tract* on exhibitors of motion picture* fixing the price on film* passed the house. Hurd said the bill we* designed to protect the email movie man, who, he declared, is unable to keep hie house epen and maintain the charges often demanded by distributor*. The house by unanlmoua vote gave 1 can sell the Best Good» for Leas Monev, in the Valley and its approval to house bill 631, which in effect provide* that where place* handling foodstuffs are found by the dairy and food commissioner to be un Prices Slashed Regtrdlass - f Coat or regardless of what Competitors offer.
