Raising the salaries of its em
ployes especially those receiving
less than $200 a month, would
return dividends to the state of
Oregon and would be a good in
vestment, it was stated by Gov.
John H. Hall in a talk to Salem
Rotary club Wednesday in the
Marion hotel.
Oregon is the biggest business
in the state, with more than 11,000
employes and an annual payroll
in excess of $29,000,000. Governor
Hall said. As proof of the benefit
of increased pay for the more than
5.000 employees who receive less
than $200 a month, he cited the
case of the Oregon state police
whose minimum was $150 a month
in 1942
During war years he said the
state lost its policemen rapidly to
Portland at $225 a month or Mult
nomah county at even more. Now
Oregon pays its state policemen a
minimum of $275 a month, and not
only are they remaining thus
giving value for the $3,000 it costs
to train each one but there is
a long waiting list.
Gov ernor Hall said that from
previous electiorl results it might
be assumed that Oregon will not
have a sales tax and must have
some other form of income to meet
its financial needs. Along this line
