, T1TE 3IOBNIXG OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER ' 11. 1914. 11 NUMEROUS PLAGES irfGOVERNDR'S 6IFI Dr. Withycombe, Executive elect, Besieged by Appli . cants for State Positions. ." PLUMS SOUGHT EAGERLY Many Posts Offering Salaries Rang ing From $2000 to $4000 and Some Paying Nothing in Republican's Hands. tlces have been not to disturb the in cumbents in these places if they were giving satisfactory service. The law also provides a secretary ship for the State Board of Control, a place now held by R. B. Goodln, and a secretary for the State Land Board, which also consists of the Governor, Treasurer and Secretary of State. . Governor May Dictate. Heretofore these appointments have been dictated largely by Governor West and Ben Olcott, Secretary of State. It is expected, however, that under the new administration Gov ernor Withycombe and State Treasurer Kay will control the Board and per haps dictate the appointments. The Governor, Treasurer and Secre tary of State also have the appointing power of two tax commissioners, the term of one of whom, Charles V. Gallo way, will expire March 2, 1815. A secretary also is to be appointed for the Desert Land Board, composed of the Governor, Treasurer, Secretary of State and Attorney-General. Then there are numerous boards most of them bi-partisan which pay I no salaries and which carry no salaried appointments, all of which roust be filled in whole or in part by the Gov ernor. Among these are the fctate Board of Forestry, Board of Account ancy, Parole Board, Board of Health, Bureau of Mines, Industrial Weliare Commission. State Library Board, the A whole lot of nice fat Jobs in con- r nection with the state government are at the disposition of the newly-eleet-ed Governor, and some of Dr. Withy- combe's friends are beginning to worry that he will have a hard time finding men who are willing to accept the places. But, on the contrary. Dr. Withy combe himself, according to word com ing from Corvallls, Is in no danger of such a perplexity. He is constantly besieged with applicants for every Job at his disposal from the janltorship at the Statehouse to the private secre taryshlp. While the Governor will have the direct appointing power over a score er more of positions paying fancy sal aries from $2000 a year up to J45J0 he also controls directly and indirectly cores of minor places that are no less eagerly sought. Board to Be Named. In addition to this, the Governor is empowered to appoint several impor tant boards, which boards in 'turn have authority to appoint persons to sal aried positions According to all rules of politics these board appointments can be dictated by the Governor. It is not unlikely that some of the positions now existing will be eliminated by the Legislature, many . members of which are pledged to a programme of econ omy. ' One of the most sought-after posi tions In the hands of the Governor is that of Corporation Commissioner, in whose hands is the operation of the blue sky" law. This place now Is held by Ralph A. Watson. He was appoint ed by Governor West January 4, 1913, for a four-year term. Watson is mak ing an effort to retain his position on the ground that he is entitled to fill out his term. He is a Democrat and formerly was private secretary to Gov. ernor West, and before that was politl cal reporter for the Oregon Journal, a Democratic newspaper printed In Port land. Many Republicans are after this office and ague that its tenure should run concurrently with the Governor ship, SPANISH WAR VETERAN WHO IS NEAR DEATH.

Burns, a Spanish War veteran, at one time First Lieutenant of Battery A, Oregon National Guard, is report ed at the, point of death at his home near Molalla, Or., as the re&ult of a stroke of paralysis.

Some of these bodies carry with them salaried secretaryships. The Governor also has the appoint ment of a private secretary., but as this is such a personal subject with him it is not considered a political office. About 20 applications have been filed of prominent Portland insurance men have been mentioned in this connec tion. .-, . ... . The state bank examiner draws a alary of $3000 a year. Will Wright, who held that office under the West administration until he resigned about a -year ago to become an officer In a Portland bank, is a Republican. Ex amlner Sergeant, who was appointed oy tne governor to succeed hint, was reappointed in May of the present year. There are two bank examlnerships I with Dr. Withycombe for the job, to o tinea Dy tne uovernor, each pay ing a salary of $2000. Governor West has not always exercised partisanship in maKing these appointments, One of the best lobs at the disposal or tne administration is that of state architect, which pays an annual salary oi 4tuu. w. c. Knighton, of Salem, the present state architect, is a Re publican. The appointment is made by the State Board of Control, composed of the Governor, Treasurer and Secre tary of State.

Every boy and girl in Oregon, Wash ington and California will have chance next year to engage in a series of hog-raising stunts under the a us pices of the Portland Union Stock yards, the State Bankers' Association and other organizations interested in the agricultural development of the Northwest.

Crippled Woman, Deserted by Hubaid, Urgent Case Otliera Seek Work, food and Pnel In Demand. An increasing procession of pitiful seekers of help files through the doors of the Associated Charities as the first of the Winter weather begins to make itself felt, and tnere is an urgent de mand, not only for money and cloth ing, but for fuel and food supplies as well. "Jane," 24 years old and partially paralyzed, was deserted by her husband and has a 5-months-old baby to care for. A neighbor helped her until her own husband lost his job and she was able to do nothing more. The woman Is in desperate need of groceries sad money to pay the rent, and a wheeled chair would help her greatly. , A German .workman with a wife and three children appealed to the Asso ciated Charities to save him and his family from starving. The husband Is able to work, but can find nothing to do. A job for him will solve the prob lem of caring for his family. Then there is a woman 63 years old, who has been sewing for a living, but has not been able to find anything to do for many weeks. She is in dire need of work, but a more pressing necessity at this moment Is food and money enough to pay the rent until she can get work. In the procession at the Associated Charities is a lad who wants to go to school, but whose eyes are too weak for him to study until he can be fitted with glasses. He Is one of a family of 12, and the circumstances of the family make it impossible for him to obtain glasses unless he is helped by some one. . These are only a, few typical cases of the scores that pass through the offices of the Associated Charities, at 111 Commercial block, every cay.
