State Police, Agriculture
Consolidation ; Result;
From new Laws 'r
Three important reorgtinlza
tloas of state activities are -to be
brought about as the result of
laws enacted at the recent legis
lative session. : ; -
Probably the moat Important
ef these is the formation et the
tat- police department under
the Jurisdiction of Governor
Meier.. . State law enforcement
agencies to be included la this
department include, the state
nrohibition, bureau. state traffic
division, aame and fish, depart
ments and the sUte fire mar
shal's bureau. Headquarters of
the department will be- in Salem,
with district directors stationed
in rarlous other sections of the
etate. ' - .
Creation of the state- police
department was recommended by
Governor Meier who, in his mes
sage to the legislature, declared
That such a Concentration or an
thoritr would result in greater
efficiency and save the taxpay
ers of Oregon a large amount. of
money annually. The, bill cre
ating; the state police department
carries an appropriation . or. ap
proximately $1,000,000. Govern
or Meier has estimated that he
will be able to save the state not
less than $200,000 biennially
.. through the creation of the state
police department.,
.ttperalate who "
Will Head Police ?
Although Governor Meier has
refused to intimate Who he has
under consideration for .director
of the state police department, a
number ef names have been
mentioned in connection with
the appointment. Prominent
motif those mentioned is Frank
Ervia. at the head of the-traffle
' division of the Portland police
department. Ervia spent several
days in Salem this week, and
was said to hare conferred with
the . rorernor. Whether this
conference had, anything to- do
with the state police department
was not announced.
The director of state police
will receive an annual salary of
14000, while he will have several
assistants who will receive
13000. The department will in
elude a bureau of identification,
end will have the- Oregon SUte
colles; radio broadcasting station
at its disposal. The radio station
and state police headquarters
will be connected by remote con
trot. Another bill approved ' at the
recent legislative session pro
' Tides for the creation of a state
agricultural department, which
will include approximately a doz
en existing agricultural agencies.
The creation of this department
was recommended by Governor
Meier as a step toward centrali
sation" of governmental activities.
While -the appropriation for
this department during the cur
rent bienhium is virtually the
same as the combined allowances
for the ' separate agricultural
agencies daring the past two
year, a material saving in oper
ation costs has been promised.
The law creating the state agri
cultural department becomes ef
fective July 1.
The director of the state" agri
cultural department will receive
an annual salary of 15000. He
will sppolnt hi subordinates, sub
ject to the approval of the gov
ernor, and will have general su
pervision over the consolidated
activities. The state department
will work in close j cooperation
with the Oregon State college
which supervises virtually all of
(he- agricultural extension cailv
itlee now carried on in the state.
Welfare Agencies
Will be Combined
Another law enacted at the
1031 legislative session merges
the industrial welfare commis
sion and the board of Inspectors
of child labor with the state la
bor bureau. C. H. Gram, state
labor commissioner, will have
Jurisdiction ' of the combined ac
tivities at a salary of $3600 a
year. Ho now receives $5000
ennually. .
Mr. Gram, announced that . in
taking over the two new bureaus
' It would be necessary -for him to
reorganise ; his present depart
"raent. -He has estimated that
the consolidation wilt result In s
saving of approximately $11,000
during the bienalum. " " Millie
Trumbull of Portland is secre
tary of the two bureaus to be
merged with the labor depart
ment.'': -. : :
In event the three reorganisa
tions authorized at the, recent
legislative session work out suc
cessfully,' other consolidations
probably- will be attempted when
the legislature convenes here two
years hence. This was the an
nouncement made by legislators
who played- an important part In
. the consolidation -. program.
Governor Meier also has let it
be known that he favors consoli
dations et state activities as a
means of reducing governmental
. costs.' -

AGAINST USE
Warning against the drinking
of Jamaica ginger in connection
with improper or illicit use of It
has been issued by Surgeon Gen
eral Hugh S. Cumming of the
United States nubile health serv
ice. Cumming made it clear that
there is nothing wrong with the
use of the product when used
properly in foods and beverages.
He said:
"Ginger Itself is one of the best
known and highly prahied condi
ments. It is wholesome and tonic
in its effect when properly used
-In foods and beverages. It has
been so used from biblical times
and there is no reason to question
its purity and safety when It Is
consumed in the food products of
reputable manufacturers.
"The warning against the
drinking of Jamaica ginger extract
has to do entirely with the drug
product. The cases of paralysis
which have been reported have
been found, in every Instance, to
have been caused by the improp
er and illicit use of this drug prod
uct as a substitute for alcoholle
liquor, and because of the fact
that some unscrupulous manufac
turers have marketed a prepera-
tlon in which a poisonous adulter
ant had been used in place of real
ginger."
