It was passed without a dissenting vote after the tax committee had rec- ommended approval. It now goes to the governor for signature. An emergency clause makes it immediate- ly effective after it is signed and Governor Langer said he would give its his approval. Immediate action was necessary, Ole Ettestad, chairman of the tax ‘committee reported, to stop further action by counties in taking title to delinquent property. He said the first legal notices already have been print- ed. The amended house bill for a $50 appropriation to erect headstones over graves of soldiers, sailors and marines was placed on the calendar after ap- proval by committee of the whole. Use of mail service for delivery of ballots and to election officials in- election supplies is provided in a house bill introduced by O. B. Larson committee on elections. Repeal of the “bad check law” that now makes it a misdemeanor to write @ check when there are no funds in the bank to cover it,-and clarification and elimination of conflict in present laws covering civil procedure on di- rected verdicts and dismissals of ac- tion, are provided in two measures presented by R.

As approved by the house, the em- ergency plan for boosting the farme er’s cash return on seven chosen com- modities to the pre-war ratio with industrial products found few out- spoken friends among senators. Many explained they needed the week-end to study the lengthy, meas- ure before reaching a conclusion. But others stated without hesitation that the bill would need numerous amend. ments if it is to pass the senate. Among them were senators Watson of Indiana, Republican leader, and Mc. Nary of Oregon, chairman of the ag- riculture committee. Calling a meeting of that commit- tee for Monday morning to begin its consideration, McNary told news- Papermen he felt that before the bill received a favorable report it would have to be altered to include all ag- ricultural commodities rather than the seven it now covers—wheat, cot- ton, tobacco, hogs, dairy products, rice and peanuts. Under such a change, the agricul- ture department would be given au- thority to decide which commodities rita be benefitted in actual opera- tion. McNary, long a leader in farm re- ef legislation, added that he would support the bill “if we can simplify it, make it practicable and bring it within the constitution.” Much of the senate opposition ap. parently was based on the belief that the plan would be difficult to ad. minister. The bill would levy a tax om the Processing of the various commodi- ties and distribute the money to the farmer on his share of domestic con- sumption in an amount sufficient to bging the price to the. pre-war ratio with industrial commodities. In return, the fatmer would be re- quired to agree to curtail his produc- tion the following year by 20 per cent. VETERAN BOAT MAN DIES AT ROCK HAVEN John D.
