The bills incorporate a few of the numerous changes in the Oregon school system recommen ded by Dr. T. C. Holy of Ohio who was hired by the legislative interim committee on education. The principal bills would: Let school district adopt a per manent tax base, reorganize and enlarge school districts, recodify state school laws, improve the teacher training, reorganize the department of education and have the state education superinten dent appointed by the board of education instead of being elected by the people. One of the bills would reduce the terms of members of the board of higher education from nine to five years. This was re quested by Governor McKay. ADVANCE ANNOUNCEMENTS A bill aimed at protecting pros pective borrowers from the wiles of small loan companies, who do not relate complete conditions of loans in broadcasts and advertise ments, will be introduced by Senator Frank Hilton of Multno mah this week. Senator Hilton says some contracts he has ex amined exact as much as 36 per cent a year and unfortunate bor rowers should be informed what may be expected of them. Representative Francis W. Zieg ler is preparing a bill that would require that all revenue from state income tax be delivered to the general fund of the state. This would remove temptation, Ziegler says, of special groups to shoot at the funds. A two per cent sales tax bill is being drafted at the request of Sen. Rex Ellis that would finance the $30-a-month increase in the basic school levy and pay soldiers bonus. It would apply to the retail sales of all tangible prop erty, with some exceptions. AFL LABOR BILLS Two labor officials, Sen. Phil Brady and Rep. Gust Anderson, introduced bills this week re lating to public buildings. One provides that all govern mental agencies in Oregon give preference in employment anu cantracts to Oregon firms. The other provides that the state, counties, cities, school districts and other such agencies must call for competitive bids on contracts of more than $10,000, except in time of disaster. DIGEST OF NEW BILLS Recently Introduced bills would: Require money-spending initiat ive measures to state the maxi mum amount; get state veterans preference for veterans of Korean war and for all persons engaged in police operations under United Nations; require initiative peti tions to carry signatures of 5 per cent of registered voters in each congressional district, instead of 8 per cent of those in the state at large; bar leaving key in switch of a car parked on street or high way; allow women workers be coming pregnant to collect unem ployment compensation for 12 weeks; allow Oregon courts juris diction over husbands who leave the state to avoid paying alimony; revoke the license of a hunter killing another for 10 years; re strict the use of fireworks to pub lic displays if supervised by local police and fire chiefs; create a one-house non-partisan legisla ture of 40 members elected on non-partisan ballot; make all hunters, fishermen and trappers wear license tags on their backs bearing numbers two inches high; allow night fishing for cat fish, make it illegal to hold in captivity any game fish or game animal; set up fishing areas for young sters under 14 years of age; re quire all political campaign con tributors to be identified by name and address, with violation to be punishable by a year in prison or $500 fine or both: make illegal pari-mutuel and other forms of betting on dog races; abolish the state civil service commission and allow sales of colored oleo margarine in Oregon as now being sold in 32 other states. The object of 4-H club work is to develop youth, Miss Esther Taskerud, state 4-H club agent, Corvallis, told the leaders at the Columbia county 4-H leaders association meeting in John Gumm grade school on January ia» Miss Taskerud also said that 4-H club leaders who help boys and girls in becoming the best persons they are capable of being, are making their finest contribu tion. She pointed out that leaders must think in terms of the indi vidual needs of each boy and girl. One of the basic needs mentioned was friendship. In commenting on what flub work can do, she said that it helps to bring the family together. It also en courages the club members to be more courteous and thoughful of others.
