CONGRATULATIONS I
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Our congratulations go today to our neighboring publica
tion, The Grants Pass Courier, which this week moved into
its new building.
The Courier now is housed in one of Southern Oregon's
finest publishing plants. The newspaper is being printed on
a new 16-page Uni-Tube press, a press of the same make as
the one installed last spring by The News-Review. Monday's
edition of The Courier, the
plant, carries a complete change in format and a new head
ing, in which an artist's drawing of the new building is
linked with the title.
The Grants Pass Courier is published by Amos E. Voorhies
and his son, Earle E. Voorhies. The senior Mr. Voorhies is
the dean of Oregon publishers, having been engaged in the
publishing business in one location longer than any other
publisher in the state. He has headed The Courier organiza
tion since 1897.
The Grants Pass Courier has a long-standing reputation
for keeping in the forefront of mechanical progress. Mr.
Voorhies has always shown a keen interest in advancement
in the science of printing and has kept his newspaper plant
well furnished with the most modern machinery and equip
ment. The Courier several years ago pioneered in the field
of pictorial news presentation at a time when small dailies
had few facilities for engraving. In later years the engraving
department has become an essential adjunct to publication
of small town dailies and all Oregon newspapers have had
much inspiration and assistance from the early work done
in this field by Mr. Voorhies and his son.
Under the able supervision of Editor Frank H. Streeter,
The Grants Pass Courier is performing an outstanding serv
ice in its field. The residents of our neighboring city have a
right to feel very proud of their newspaper. The management
of that publication has indicated faith in the continuing
progress of Southern Oregon by their large financial invest
ment in building, machinery and equipment and deserve the
best cooperation the community can give.
Again we extend our congratulations to Mr. Voorhies, his
son, the editor and the staff and employes of The Grants
Pass Courier as they begin this new year in a completely new
plant, opening a new era in the
the community served. ,
Legislative Leadership
The 1940. session of the Oregon Legislature will have one
important advantage over some of the previous meetings
the leadership has been chosen, organizational work already
is well advanced, and the Legislature should be in a position
to start its grind with little delay, instead of spending several
weeks on preliminaries.
It is generally accepted that Senator William E. Walsh,
Coos County, will serve as president of the Senate.
Senator Walsh is exceptionally well qualified for this po
sition. Ho was elected last November to his third four-year
term. His past experience makes him thoroughly familiar
with Senate procedure and he has shown himself highly
capable as a legislator. While he was assured of the presi
dency of the Senate after a very close race, he is the type of
man who will harbor no grudges against Senators who may
have supported his rival. He will endeavor to conduct,
the affairs of the Senate in a businesslike manner. An ex
ceptionally able parliamentarian, Senator Walsh can show
authority when necessary, but has the rare ability to secure
cooperation without being forced to use the power of his
office.
Senator Walsh, a practicing attorney at Coos Pay, has
served ns district attorney for Coos County and has been
very active in civic and fraternal affairs.
The House of Representatives also will have most able
leadership through the selection of Representative Frank J.
Van Dyke, Med ford, as speaker.
Representative Van Dyke has served through th fee ses
ci i "i in. i.iw ,n, iuuvp in iii'puoijcan political a II aim, ho hns
a brilliant record in civic nnd fraternal work, lie ha, shown j
outstanding leadership in past
ture and his elevation to the speaker's rostrum was so well
assured that little advance opposition was in evidence as
preparations were made for the forthcoming session.
The I'M!) Legislature will have a difficult time solving the
many problems to be submitted to it. It should be n source
of satisfaction to all interested persons that the session will
convene with its leadership established, committee appoint
ments carefully studied in advance and preliminary work
well in hand.

der Ihe close protection they have

Big Game, Upland
Birds Being Fed
In Snow Regions
Deep snows and extreme cold
weather over the state may have
serious effects on both the big
game and the upland ame of
uregon, n w-as announced today
by C. A. Lockwood, Oregon stale
game supervisor. He pointed out
that although extensive feeding
operations are being carried on
and will be increased, the lack of
browse on the winter ranges can
not be offset by even the most
elaborate feeding programs.
Heavy snows in the Baker area
have driven elk and deer down
onto the ranches in the valley
and for two weeks the game com
mission has kept a crew busy
establishing feed lines and cat
tying on other operations to al
leviate damage. Mr. Lockwood
emphasized that these measures
are not long range solutions for
the big game wintering uroblerr.s
but strictly emergency measures.
Eighty-one tons of hay have
been purchased for the feed lines
in the Baker, Sumpter and Keat
ing areas. Many ranchers are
cooperating by rendering assist
ance in plowing out roads and
assisting with the feeding.
Upland birds are being fed ex
tensively through the cooperation
of many sportsmen and ranchers
tnrougnout the state, in the
Baker area alone nearly two tons
of grain have been purchased by
the commission any many dona
tions of grain have been received.
Extensive quail trapping will
begin this week. In some sections
of the state many coveys of quail
nave Dannea rogeiner due to the
heavy snows. In these large
concentrations the birds are easy
victims to predators. This is also
intensified when feeding is being
carried on. Portions of these
coveys will be trapped and trans
planted to places where teed is
available. Others that will oe
trapped will be held through the
winter at the game farms and
then will he released in the
spring in regions that have suf
fered severe population losses
during the winter.

Demos' Control Of
Foreign Relations '
Group Stirs GOP
By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH '
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6(X
A decision by Senate Democrats
to take a three-vote edge In the
Foreign Relations Committee stir,
red a storm of Republican pro
test Tuesday. GOP Senators called
it as a threat to the bi-partisan "
foreign policy.
The Senate Democratic Steer
ing Committee agreed yesterday
to assign eight party members to
the important Foreign Relations
unit, and to give the Republicans
only five places. In the last Con
gress, controlled by the GOP,
the division was seven Republi
cans to six Democrats.
The Democrats' decision to
abandon the seven to six ratio
In the Foreign Relations Com
mittee came as a surprise. There
had been talk it would be main-'
tained In the interests of the
bipartisan foreign policy.
Senator Vandenberg (Mich.),
chairman of the committee dur.
Ing the GOP-dominated 80th Con
gress and now ranking minority 11
member, called the decision "re-
grettahle and not particularly lm
pressive in its bi-partisan hos
pitality." Senator Lodge (Mass.), an
other Republican member, de
clared: "It's a pity. It's certainly
too bad."
The sharpest criticism came
from Senator Morse (R-Ore.),
w hose application for member
ship was voided by the decision."
He termed the step "a shock
ing repudiation of the bi-partisan
foreign policy in the Senate,"
and added:
"It is obvious that the deci
sion of the Democrats will make
It possible for them to plav par
tisan politics with the issue of
war or peace."
And a Republican who asked
not to be named said:
"It is the worst thing the Demo
crats could have done. Theyhav
picked themselves a fight on
foreign policy. This means that
from now on we Republicans
will go after some of the kev
boys in the State Department,
something we have refrained
from doing."
