The Eugene Rerister-Guard observes: "He knows 'what lt'a all about'; he will consult, bat he will not be easily misled. He la reasonable bat determined. His speech , augurs exceptional efficiency." - . - - The Bend Bulletin, characterizing the message as that of a "man of convictions, reasonable, temnerate, with an or derly mind," is impressed by the proposals on power use by the state: : : r - " v , "No greater field for Governor Sprague's talents exists than In the development of a sensible and reasonable attitude toward Bonneville and Its acceptance for Industrial use by the power fanatics who now want, only the destruction of the operating com panies .yr From the Albanv. Democrat-Herald comes especial ap- proval or tne proposals for putting togetner scnooi aisiricis, as has been recommended .by Superintendent Rex Putnam. Writes the editor of the Democrat-Herald : I - ;If Gorernor Sprague's program as he outlined It In his inau 14 curat address before the state legislature Is carried out his ad ministration will be signalized by no little simplification or state 'government, reaching down as well Into subdivisions of state government. Notable are his recommendations for consolidation of school districts, wherever practical, and for provision of ma chinery whereby, such-consolidations may be effected wisely." The non-rjartisan and well Baker sees the message as .typical of the man: thoughtful, temperate, courteous, covering the general problems of all democratic societies in the complex, modern world and prob lems soedfic to the state of Oregon." 7 The Dalles Chronicle, which was a staunch Martin sup . porter, observes: f s ."Governor 8prague gives every Indication of continuing the - .high type: of execntlve ability shown by Martin, although tSpragne's regime probably will feature diplomacy rather than fireworks. Sprague la of the Intellectual type, utterly sincere In everything he does, and ha la taking the Job of governor with the determination to justify the compliment paid him by Oregon - voters." -,- , The Herald at Klamath Falls believes the message to the legislature careful and fair," the Roseburg News-Review - comments that the "common sense in the inaugural address wai no surprise." . 4 The new administration is too wise in newspaner prac tice to expect or to want total approbation and a dearth of criticism from the press. As the term of Governor Sorague unfolds he will receive his share of editorial thrusts but the critical editorials will not be tossed into the waste basket, unread by some executive assistant, because the governor can not take them. The fair and penetrating analysis of the press, which is going to be particularly interested in the present ad ministration, will be a great asset to the governor and to . the state.

Tne present oasis ox pay is a paicnwur uilt of Inequity carrying over from numerous previous ses sions where county salaries were set piecemeal by pressure from individual county groups The result is startling discrep ancies in payment to county officials, amount of work and responsibility considered. , :i Clatsop county, with 21.000 population, pays its county indare $3000 annually while Marion county with 60.000 pop ulation and a corresponding increase in work for the jude, pays only $1800. Sherman county pays only $450 annually for the job. Harney county with 5920 population has a $2400 annual salary for its county clerk, the same as paid by Lane county with nine times that copulation. h f Every list of county officers and their salaries is subject o the same discrepancies and unfairness. The legislature should revise the rates of pay on a ratable scale which would Include consideration of population of the county, assessed Talae and total budget and some study of. the amount of work v?2one by.the respective officials. This session and subseouent ones should not be bothered with the sectional bills which re peatedly are introduced to jockey a particular official or grojip of officials in one or more counties into a better-paid 2 While the salary straightening is . on, equalization of several of ficial state salaries would be in order.

Tka per son who writes, whosa nam and address shall ba w4thheld, Van-f aonnees that ha or' aha Is wrltlns a thesis, and says:: - -. The parposo t mj paper' Is to trace the hlstoiy of each In dian tribe from the f time white men settled in Oregon to the present time. ' I would ' like the number of Indiana, .their habits, treaties made with them by the whites, the present - numbers ot f uU Mood Indians, conditions un der which they lire at present; prorlslons made for them by the federal government, their- ap proximate -wealth, health, - di seases, education, and future place they will hold in the American goyernment." W S That Is quite an order, as the reader wUl no doubt agree. A study soth as Is implied in the words history ot each Indian tribe from the time white men settled In Oregon to the present time; ... tbo number of In dians, their habits, treaties made with them by the whites,' would involre weeks, months ot re search; whereas this writer has not even minutes to spare from urgent wBrk In hand. And then the conclusions mi$ht be faulty and Incomplete. As to tbe present number of full blood Indians"' In Oregon, no one can say for certain. The writer hereof was census super visor of an Oregon district In both 1910 and 130. In the last one enumerators were Instructed (from Washington) to list as Indians aU persons with a pre dominance of Indian blood. An other order from Washington was to list any person as an Indian who waa called Indian. So no doubt a few whites were listed as Indians. The eeuus for 1930 showed Oregon's Indian popula tion as 477S. But the reports of the superintendents of Indians to the Oregon Blue Book, 1937-8 adds up slightly more; that Is, 4822, if the writer haa figured correctly. The Blue Book cited shows: . n The superintendent of the Sa lem U. S. Indian school (now Paul T. Jackson) has charge of these Indians: Sileta, with an Indian population of 471; Grand Ronde, 362; fourth section al lottees west of the Cascade mountains In Oregon, 332. Then the Klamath agency. 1412 Indians; Umatilla ageney (same as .1130 census shows), 1143; the Burns Indian colony, "about" 152; Warm Spring res ervation (approximately) 800; the Indians of the Columbia river on both the Oregon and Wash ington aides, now assigned to the Umatilla reservation, "estimated" 300. Counting ISO for Oregon makes a total of 4822 or 46 more than were listed by the census enumerators of 1930. So, as saia aoove, no one can give the exact number, for 1939, or any other year. S U "Conditions under which Ore gon Indiana live at present" are as varied as those ot white or other races. The Klamath reser vation haa about 1,125,000 acres of land. Tribal prorerty of those Indians has . an estimated value of $20,000,000. They are rich. Among the Indians of the United States, they rank second in in dividual wealth. The Umatilla Indians are rich, too; have 1(7,916.73 acres in their "diminished" reserve. Of the wheat .. land, approximately one-half has pasted to white ownership. So are the Warm Springs Indians rich, with 500. C0O acres of land, their pine timber valued at seven to 12 million dollars. They are made up of the Wasco, Warm Springs (Tenlno), Plate, Klickitat and Pit river tribes.. - v v "Provisions made for them by the federal government?' Their children may - attend the Che mawa school and ' learn trades, and, the more . ambitious ones, prepare for careers of usefulneaa. The Warm Springs reservation haa a government primary school, and a 20-bed bospital. and mission schools are srailable at some of the reservations. Quite generally. In Oregon. Indian chil dren are welcomed in the pubUc schools, the same as those of other races. r "Health. diseases, education, and future -place they will hold In the American government?"

Editors and Political Office There are probably few com munities ot considerable site and Influence where, at one time or another, newspaper publish ers or editors hare not been sug gested as candidates tor high po litical office. I do not know what the exact record may show, hut a enrsery glance a political, his tory la the United States gres one a definite Impression that the suggestion has not met with a favorable reception. 1 recall personally the campaign In which Horace Greeley of the New York Tribune stood as a candidate for the presidency against General Grant. He was overwhemllngly defeated. And I hare known a few instances since those hectic days when other newspaper edit ors hare been defeated at the polls. There hare been many newspaper candidates but few hare been chosen. " In later years the prejudice for It waa aa much that aa anything elae has worn away. True, the suggestian that Mr. Hearst be nominated for presi dent aroused a thunder of pro test in all parts of the country, but a number ot the states hare elected newspapermen as gover nors, and I bellere these hare invariably been good governors. Kansas elected a newspaperman to the governor's chair. Now Ore gon has given its chief executive office over to a newspaper editor and publisher, by a tremendous vote. And the voters ot Oregon could not have made a better choice. I hear of the owner of a big car, stuck on a coast byway, who waa pulled out by a man with an old-model Ford. The Lord loveth a cheerful flivver. The hurry that gets us no il here is the bane ot modern civilization. The Oldsters There's an old, old tale of long ago.
