STATE CAPITOL NEWS
A. L. LINDBECK
State Capitol News Bureau
SALEM— With the legislative ses
sion now in Its fifth week all hope
has been abandoned of adjournment
at the end of the 40-day pay period.
In fact It was only among the no
vices of the session that this hope
existed at the outset of the session.
Speculation now centers on Just how
tar beyond the 40-day period the
session will extend with guesses ran
ging from one to three weeks— that
is a session of 50 or 60 days.
senate bill No. 4 by Senator M cKay
repealing the non-resident motor
vehicle registration law. Under its
provision tourists who visit this
state will no longer be required to
register their cars. The repeal was
recommended by Secretary of State
Earl Snell whq declared that It cost
the state $20,000 a year to admini
ster the law which had outlived Its
usefulness.
Athough more than 30 days have
elapsed since the session opened lit
tle has been accomplished to date
that will have any bearing upon the
public welfare. In fact, as far as that
is concerned, there is nothing in the
legislative hopper that could not be
dumped overboard without any seri
ous loss to the state as a whole. In
many respects this session has been
the most colorless within the mem
ory of the oldest attendant upon
these biennial lawmaking assemblies
iiere in Oregon.
County Judges and commissioners
were in Salem this week to oppose
a measure Introduced by Senator
Dorothy Lee of Multnomah calling
for a change in the method of han
dling insane cases. The Lee bill
would transfer responsibility for the
custody of insane persons from the
sheriff s office to that* of the coun
ty health officer. It would also re
quire that two physicians be called
in to pass on sanity cases. The re
form, it was pointed out, would work
a great hardship on some of the
more sparsely settled counties, es
pecially those with only one physi
cian which would necessitate the
calling in of outside physicians at
great expense to the taxpayers.
The big ways and means commit
tee started showing its appropria
tion bills onto the floor this week,
well ahead of the record of previous
sessions which have seen these mea
sures held up until the closing week
of the session. Except for two or
three matters of policy which his
committee lias yet to determine it
could very well iomplete its work
this week. One of these problems in
volves the manner of financing the
Income tan division of the state tax
commission. Heretofore this activity
has been financed through approp
riations out of the general fund. The
governors' budget recommends that
the $300.000 needed by the division
be captured out of receipts before
these are turned Into the general
fund. Tills recommendation has a
two-fold purpose. For one thing it
would give the department more
money than It could hope to get
through an appropriation — money
which the governor and the tax
commission believe would be return
ed to the state many times over in
increased collection of income taxes.
In the secon dplace tills "manipula
tion" would releasee another »300,
000 of general fund money for oth
er uses— to be doled out to other
actlvttes or to balance the budget
as the case might be.
Much of the blame for the pro
longed duration of the session must
be accepted by the House organiza
tion. Most controversial Issue before
the session revolves about proposed
amendment to the unemployment
compensation act. Although most of
these were In the hopper early In
the session no attempt was made by
the judiciary committee, which has
these measures In charge, to whip
them Into shape for legislative action
until the fourth week of the session
The House has also been most dila
tory In Its attack on the problem of
congressional and legislative reap
portionment Practically every legis
lator Is agreed that something muat
be done about these problems at this
session. Early In the session Speaker
Farrell announced that he proposed
to name a special committee to han
dle this problem U p to Saturday
night, with four weeks gone by and
with six bills dealing with reappor
tionment In the hopper, this highly
Important committee had not yet
been named.
One o f the first measures of the
current session to receive the sig
nature of Governor Sprague was
Considerable Interest attaches to
attempts to tax trucks and busses
for support of governmental activi
ties. Qovernor Sprague In his mes
sage to the legislature at the open
ing of the session called attention
to the fact that busses and trucks
pay no general taxes, that all of the
licenses and fees extracted from
these commercial carriers go into
the construction and maintenance
of the highways which makes their
operation possible. The governor
suggested
that
the
legislature
should either move to capture the
gras revenue tax now paid by these
operators for the state's general
fund, or to levy some new tax that
could be used for general govern
mental purposes. The House and the
senate committees on high ways and
highway revenue and assessment
and taxation are giving serious con
sideration to the problem but as yet
have agreed on no program that
appears to cover the situation.
