Led a successful fight in the House for the old Capitol site and a saving of $550,090 in cost of capitol building. At my earnest request a reading clerk was selected from Columbia county by the Legislature. Sponsored and supported a tax program which would have replaced $5,500,000 property tax a year with income, inheritance, and other taxes based on ability to pay, and a $45 a month old-age pension for each person eligible. All these bills passed the House with substantial majorities but were killed in the Senate. I voted against every sales tax bill in the Legislature, and my stand has been overwhelmingly approved by the vote of the people. I will support state legislation that will permit Oregon to receive full benefit of federal laws on pension, farm program, social security, and labor legislation. Having served at three Special and two Regular sessions of the legislature by senority I right I am in line for Speaker of the House, and would have more influence in the State Legislature than a person with less experience.
