PAGE TWO The OREGON STATESMAN, rSalem. Oregon, Saturday Morning, May 5, 1934 3 NP 8 IS .''1 ! 3 RUFUS ILLEGAL Cannot Retain Present Jcb if and When Elected - to Governorship rCoMlaac fnm If. qualified himself by accepting a higfcer ranking state appointment Thereupon the newly elected gov ernor would appoint a treasurer. Mr. Holman. nnder such an ar rangement, could- gain control ot ' the board of control and at the same time prevent hit bitter en my. Governor Meier, from reach ing: Ms hand over into the new administration by appointing Hol man'a snccessor. In actuality, a different process would have to be followed. Be fore Holman, if duly elected, could- take the oath of office, he would be forced to meet the oth er requirements. One of these nn der the "eligibility" clans of the constitution, is that he be holding ' no other state office. The moment he resigned as treasurer. Gover nor Meier would appoint Hol man's snccessor before Holman could take the oath of office as governor. This appointee would serve for two years the period before another election was held. , f It has been suggested t the atateheuse that Mr. Holman might circumvent the constitution by writing out his resignation and filing It in his own pocket. How ever, unofficial legalists at the statehouse declare that such a re signation would not be effective that a resignation must be made and filed with the secretary ot state and the governor notified. It has also been pointed out that another section of the constitu tion provides that a state official's term extends until his successor is qualified and installed which would Indicate that Mr. Holman would remain treasurer, resigna tion In his pocket or not, until Mr. Meier had installed his suc cessor. The entire situation, beyond being one of an Interesting legal situation, indicates clearly that Candidate Holman has not con- i suited legal counsel before an nouncing he would hold his treas nrership until he could be seated as governor, thus allowing him self to name his own successor. The constitution is squarely against the procedure and should 'it be attempted, Mr. Holman would be balked as be sought to take the oath as governor by his ineligibility for the office. The political implications of the situation are these: It Mr. Holman constitutionally cannot appoint his successor, as very ap parently is the case, he has blundered in informing the voters that such was his purpose. For he has incurred the ill will of a considerable group which dislikes his proposed dictatoral policies and on the other hand will have gained no support from a group which would Hko to turn Oregon over to Holmanism since the lat ter is not possible under the con stitution.

STARTED AT LABISH Making a record in the history of the Labish Celery Growers' Co operative, first celery of the sea son is this week going to a sell er's market, Ronald Jones, man ager of this association and leg islative candidate, yesterday noon told the Salem Retail Credit as sociation. Jones described the new Port land public market, which, with the Salem stores, handles most of the Labish lettuce and other vege tables marketed in lots less than carloads. The celery deal started this week, under the most favorable market conditions in many years, duo largely to scarcity from Cal ifornia and The Dalles gardens, which usually force Marion coun ty growers to enter the season at rock bottom prices. This week, lettuce has been sold on the pub lic market a day ahead, Jones said. The Labish celery and vege table crops bring into Salem from 1150,000 to $200,000 annually, depending upon price conditions. Last year, a very good one, about $200,000 was realized. The bulk of thia money is spent in the county, Jones said. The largest single item, for fertilizer, to go outside is $10,000. A sum equal or more to that is spent in Salem for boxes and crates each year. In carload lots, the heaviest buying centers are the middle west, the southwest and the south east, with many cars moving to these sections each season. Jones said the association, in the 11 years he has been manager, has never lost one carload through its not being paid for, in spite of fact that some shipments are on open account. He opined produce dealers are a very honest class. Virtually all the business handled through the Portland public mar ket is cash business, as it is a rule of the market that every buyer pay cash on delivery.

Pro fessor Hobson had the many voices completely under the spell of his baton, and wove new mean ing and expression into a famil iar melody. Two criticisms of the concert may be made. It was too long, lasting almost a full two hours. The time could have been cut by a fourth If intermissions between groups had been shortened. Sec ondly, the male chorus slipped up on one" number and struck a series of very flat notes. Bnt these faults were minor and the program on the whole was very fine. DANCE "Boots' Grant Presents . .

EVERETT MORTON GENEVIEVE TOBIII Mickey Mouse NOTES While police, civic authorities, women's clubs and other uplift forces of the country are attempt ing to steer boys and girls of the nation into the right paths during national Youth week, there is growing up all by itself in the United States a fraternity ot chil dren. The organisation is that of the Mickey Mouse clubs, made np of admirers of Walt Disney's littVe pen-and-ink movie star, and al ready memberships total over 2,000,000. Think of it! Two million boys and girls banded together for bet ter citizenship and moral deport ment. And the two million are only a starter. M.M.c. I was asked to say something -about national Youth week, so I did not knowing exactly what was to be said. It just shows you that such an organization as the Mickey Mouse club proves that gang instinct is manifest, and to such an extent that it promotes better citizenship. M.M.C. I think we had as much fun putting on the School Daze Revue last Saturday as we hope you had watching it. M.M.C. We've got a very special stage show today: Last chapter of the serial; "Boots" won't be here; George O'Brien in Zane Grey's "Rainbow Trail," and Lee Tracy in "I'll Tell the World." M.M.C.
