The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Wednesday Morning. January 11, 1933 PAGE THREE r r r r" V SITE CflEOIT : VITAL FACTOR Must be Preserved at all Costs Declares Upton; Hands Meier Praise The credit of the state of Ore gon mast be preserved at all costs, whether new taxes are provided or old ones restored. Jay H. Up ton, senator -from Bend, told Sa lem Klwanls clnb members Tues day. Upton predicted that a modi fled sales tax would be introduced In the regular legislative session. He characterized hopes of raising largesums of revenue from an in come tax as a "fantasy." Upton declared real property in Oregon -could not stand the burden of ad ditional levies. The senator praised the Meier administration warmly, saying Governor Meier was unique among governors In the state's history in returning 11,000,000 of legisla tive appropriations to the general fund of the treasury. "I did not support the Meier forces two years ago and am not In the counsels of the administra tion now," Upton said, "but must confess the savings in the last blennium and the greatly re duced budget for the next blenni um are decidedly meritorious." Budget Courageous Klwanians Are Told Upton said Henry Hanzen's bud get was the best ever produced and that Hansen's courage to cut out unneeded departments made aim worth many times his salary The senator said he was not certain what course the state would take to meet Its financial problems. He indicated the state's plight was exceeded by Oregon's counties which were experiencing tremendous tax delinquencies. The senator said he was im pressed by the ardor, the orderli ness and the soundness of many et the proposals of the "hunger marchers" who came to a joint session of the legislature Monday, Upton said he would support re peal of the criminal syndicalism act. Business leaders must pay more attention to keeping men employ ed, must think less of profits and more of the under man, Upton de clared. He said the economic sys tern was unsound when it created starvation In a land of plenty surpluses in a nation of undercon Sumption. 40 Days Too Short for Legislative Work The senator said he was firmly of the opinion 40 days was too abort a time for a legislative ses sion with 800 bills to consider. At best many vexing problems must ot be touched due to the short time available. Senator Upton congratulated Marlon county residents as people living in the best situated county In the state financially; a state payroll providing a steady income and every indication pointing to a remarkable revival of the hop business. Upton said he stood for the immediate abolition of the 18th amendment. The Dame Capit t - Incidents I and . Personalities n More or Less Connected With the State Legislature and Its . Achierements N - ; CORNELIA Marvin Pierce, wife of the , new congressman from La Grande, was having a glorious time at the session yes terday. She wore flowers and carried a corsage. Her -face beam ed. Used to public office through years of service as State librarian. Mrs, Pierce was obviously delight ed to be back in the swim. She and the ex-governor have return ed from - Roseburg where he In spected the soldiers' vhome there being constructed by the federal government. Sunday Mrs. Pierce was in Portland where the board of higher education made some drastic cuts in next year's budget. The cuts were well-publicized in Monday mornings papers; the board wanted the ways and means committee of both legislative houses to be fully advised on its action. Mrs. Pierce made more than 100 speech for her husband in his campaign last spring and fall. At first she let the word go out that she might run on the republican ticket; the idea won much publicity. When the showdown came, Mrs. Pierce, who claims to be a republican state administrations for years have been G. O. P. was right on the democratic band wagon, supporting F. D. R. and the democratic proposals. "Re lief" was the principal Pierce slogan; relief for taxpayers, mortgage owners, unemployed, wheat growers, soldiers and whomsoever wanted it. Means of providing said relief the wedded campaigners wisely re fused from giving much atten tionexcept of course higher and heavier income taxes, gift taxes -anything that most peo ple would not have to pay but theoretically could garner help from. private. Speaking to friends, Hanley characterised Spauldlng as "that nasty little feller. Technocracy reveals itself tm the press services at the state house. In former days tele graph operators were scattered In statehouse corners there to dot-and-dash the news to Port land papers where other teleg raphers received and typewrote the incoming stories. Now cheaply paid girls ait at anto matie Jnachines and typewrite the press stories. No receiver la needed on the other end. The result is half the salary need be paid for one girl where for merly two full salaries for a man were needed. Technocracy, Incidentally, is not a new word. It was used away back in 1010 and a Berkeley paper at that time printed articles about it. When hand weavers were oust ed In England by the machine, and steam power replaced hors es and men, the same thought was expressed although the new craze of terming A "tech nocracy was not in vogue. William Hanley, former state highway commissoner, was like wise happy as a lark yesterday when he visited around the legis lative halls. Hanley's black hat, white locks, robust figure, benign smile make him picturesque. He loved the state highway Job and was sorely hurt when the exigen cies of politics wiped him out, po litically speaking. Hanley has much animus to Charles Spauld lng who as a co-commlssloner em barrassed him In public and in The legislative session has its quota of under-cover men and women. These are hired by va rious companies, individuals and government leaders to keep dig ging up supposedly "inside data" on various legislators. Actually the information receiving is al most invariably gossip or hearsay and could not be proved. The un dercover operators are supposed to attend booze parties, private meetings, et al, where damaging news Is revealed or harmful sit uations seen all of which can be utilized for a type of political blackmail. Experienced leglslat ors know that everything they say or do may be used against them. RECEIVERSHIP FOB CITIES PROPOSED i Legislation authorising receiv ership tor bankrupt cities was discussed at a meeting of the League of Oregon Cities in this city Tuesday. The draft of a proposed bill waa presented by J. L. Hope. Astoria attorney, who asked the league to support the general principal involved. Hope said that Astoria is $4. 100,000 in the red on bond bligatlons and woul be for tunate if by a refinancing plan under receivership it can repay tl. 000.000 of this amount. He sounded a warning to other ci ties which are headed toward a similar financial status. The bill provides for the ap pointment of a receivership for any municipality which has de faulted more than six months in bond interest or principal pay ments. The receiver would be given full control of the city finances through legislative and judicial functions. Senate Bills Introduced H. B- 4 Br Uoton.

Normal Has Small Increase With 465 Pupils Registered MONMOUTH, Jan. 10. Regis tration to date at the Oregon Nor mal school this term is 465. ac cording to Information from Pres ident J. A. Churchill's office. This Is a small Increase over last term. A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. L. E. McCaleb January S. This is their fourth daughter and seventh child. Mrs. McCaleb Is at a Dallas hospital. George La France underwent an operation at a Salem hospital last week and Is improving now, but expects to remain in the hospital for some time. It is certain that the tax could have carried the senate with the slightest administrative pressure. Senator Wheeler of Lane county and Senator Hess of La Grande, both of whom flamed up in speeches at the time of the vote, wailing about the tax, would have come to Its rescue quickly If they had felt the University of Ore gon's operations at Eugene or the state normal school's stay at La Granda hung on the fate of the bill. Hess admitted in his flam bonyant denunciation of the tax that he came to Salem prepared to vote for it.
