SALEM—The seventh week of the
legislature session finds every major
bill still in the house of its origina­
tion; most of them are still held In
committees to which they were re­
ferred in the opening weeks. This Is
especially true of the proposed a-
mendments to the unemployment
compensation act which remained
in the hands of the House judiciary
committee, the proposed amend­
ments to the workmen’s compen­
sation act still in the hands of the
senate cr mm it tee on industries, all
of the old age pension measures,
most of the educational bills and
scores of other measures.
While In on.' sense these are clas­
sed as major legislation there Is
nothing In the hopper of either
the House or the Senate that can
net he scraped without any way ser­
iously affecting the state or Its citi­
zenry.
Probably the most glaring ex­
ample of dilatoriness on the part of
the lawmakers at this session Is that
of the so-called six>ed bill. Introduc­
ed as senate bill no. 1 on the open­
ing day of the session and meeting
but little opposition this measure
was not reported out of the commit­
tee on roads and highways until the
fortieth day of the session and did
not renrh third reading until Mon­
day of this week, forty-three days
after It was first presented.
The ’big truck" bill which went
down to defeat under a two-to-one
negative vote In the senate this
week was held in committee more
than five weeks before the legislat­
ors were given a chance at it. De­
feat of this measure was some what
of a surprise having as it did, the
blessings of Governor Sprague and
the state highway commission and
going out onto the senate floor with
tile backing of six of the members
of the committee on roads and high­
ways.
Wliile the legislators themselves
are now working on their own time,

night Friday, the pay of the small

Representative Perry of Columbia

would give the lawmakers $5 a day

their $3 per diem. The expense pay
would cover a session of 50 days or

recall that a similar attempt to sup­
