First Money Bill Goes to Legislators
OKLAROLA CITY Jan 7 Legislators received the first appropriation bill of the 22nd session today. It was for $531,000 to pay their own salaries through next June. The measure was submitted by Rep Paub Harkey of Idabel, chair of the house appropriations committee. Four other bills were introduced as the house wound up its first weekend and met again Monday. They included a measure by Rev Bal Wallace of Chickasha giving the corporation commission power of arrest to enforce laws regulating bus truck lines. Wallace also proposed creating a state real estate commission with three governor appointed members paid $20 a day up to two years. All real estate agents would pay a $23 license annually. Real estate salesmen would pay $35. Regulations to govern the profession would include jail terms up to six months and fines up to $300 for violations. A bill by Harkey would allow the Oklahoma Public Welfare Commission to destroy records after five years, shifting recordkeeping costs from general revenue to the sales tax funded commission. Rep. WR Wallace Jr of Oklahoma City offered a bill to repeal the community property law enacted by the 1945 legislature, noting federal income tax alignment has been extended to 42 states and that the Oklahoma law has created complications in property ownership after divorce actions and estates probate.

New Programs Small Portion In Truman Budget
President Truman’s men say new social and housing programs will account for less than 500 million dollars of the near 42 billion dollar budget for fiscal 1450. The trio form key Democrats in the re new deal effort, constituting about one percent of spending but roughly one third of the deficit outlook. A tax hike of about 4,008,060,000 is expected to wipe out the deficit, with a one percent reduction in the federal debt. The budget message next Monday will seek postal rate changes and other steps to keep government out of the red. Defense remains the biggest factor, over half of the total, combining military and foreign items.
