Off
Next year the people of Oref
con will elect a governor who will
serve for two years and a month:
also a secretary - who will serve
for a four-year term. . H
This is the consequence of Use
tragedy which took the lives cf
Governor Snell and Secretary of
State Farrell, ;
In addition there wtir be elec
tions for state- treasurer and at-
. torney general and one United
States senator because the terms
of incumbents expire in January,
'1949.' ' .
The constitutional amendment
adooted by the people in Noyem
ber. 1948. changed the tenure pf
the successor t the governor
wheiwr""vacancy oc cures in the
office. Formerly the sucessor
served for the remainder of the
term for which the governor had
been elected. Now he serves, ortly
until the next general election.
Governor Snell was' elected to I ja
second term in 1948 and Inaugur
ated in 1947, he served less
than one yearof his second jterm.
State&politick is thus thrown in
to a ferment. Both Governor! HslY
and Jfls appointee as secretary pt
will have to decide very
S4&n on whether to seek election
.to these offices because the party
primaries come in May and fil
ings of candidates must be made
earlier. Next year is a year lor
the presidential election too which
jwill further stir the political wa-1

While speculation is afoot! both
respecting the successor to Faf

natorial election, it. is naturally
subdued until after the funeral
of the victims of the plane crash
of last Tuesday. It is plain to ee
however that the. citizens of Of

an upward revision of producer

The price increase, Peterson

said that an inadequate supply V

even higher production costs in

reasons for granting the boost.

Margin Slim
PORTLAND, Oct 31 -fP- The
Northwest power pool was oper-1
ating oh a thin margin of reserve
capacity today as a result of two.
generator failures, the Bonneville
administration reported. '
The system lost 180,000 kilowatts
when a 108,000-krlowatt generator
at Grand Coulee developed bear
ing troubles and the leads burned
out on a-55.000-kilowatt generator
at Bonneville. As they were oper
ating at overload output the loss
was greater than rated capacity,
Bonneville reported.
The shut-down left 99,000 kilo
watts in reserve above last week's
peak demand of 2,574,000 kilowatts
in "the western division of the
power pool, and an additional 90,
000 can be pulled from Montana,
if needed, a spokesman said.

Sidewalks in
Salem Slated
Fbr Overhaul
Sidewalks throughout Salem are
due for an overall improvement,
City Engineer J. H. Davis said Fri
day. The engineer's, staff has begun
a thorough survey of Salem side
walks to spot the many, bad, spots
which, Davis noted, have resulted
from; the limited maintenance
available during the war and im
mediately after. ...
Davis said many walks are sunk
en, pushed out by tree roots and
broken, and that all are to be re
paired at abutting property own
ers expense the standard policy
for city sidewalks.
That property, owners in many
sections .of Salem already have
taken steps to better their side
walk conditions. Davis averred by
initiating their own-repairs or pe
titioning the city to repair the
walks it the property owners' ex
pense. Where property owners do
not initiate the improvement, the
city may do so, Davis said. .
