Morris Dunne to Retire
In 1933 Gov. Julius L. Meier appointed TV"
Morris Dunne of Portland to the State Indus
trill Accident Commission. When later leg
islation was enacted to provide unemploy
ment compensation, a new commission was
created whose personnel was the same as for
the Accident Commission. Dunne was made
chairman of the Unemployment Compensa
tion Commission and has retained that posi
tion ever since, together with his membership
on the Industrial Accident Commission. This
means he has served under nine governors.
Now he has resigned at the request of. Gov
ernor Holmes, who has indicated his desire
to reorganize the offices within his jurisdic
tion. To succeed Dunne the Governor has
named Mrs. Celia Galey,- attorney of Ontario,
formerly of Sweet Home.
Dunne can leave his office with .a conscious
ness of dtity well performed. His work in the
field of unemployment compensation has been
outstanding. His mental keenness, his clear
judgment and his essential fairness brought
him to a place of leadership in this field. He
served as president and in other capacities
on the organization of state officials admin
istering unemployment compensation laws.
This was virgin . territory in America and
Dunne enntrihutexi much tnwarrl makers th
- - - - n
laws workable, .serving the worker displaced
in employment and conserving
imate interest of employers.-One
Dunne fought and helped to win
rating, in which the tax for unemployment
insurance is graduated with relation to em
ployer experience. '
Oregon' administration of workmen's com
pensations and unemployment compensation
has been conducted with a minimum of crit
icism and an absence of scandal. Morrie
Dunne i entitled to a large share of credit
for the fine record of the two commissions.
As he retires April 1st after 24 yean of con
tinuoos and faithful service for the State of
Oregon, its workers and its employers, the
gratitude of the people should attend him,
and their best wishes for his pleasant re
tirement -
An "Oregon" Company
To the editor's desk has come an attractive-
ly painted brochure, "The Story of Standard
Insurance in the West" It is the history of
the Standard Insurance Company, which is
still known to many by its former' name of
Oregon Mutual Life Insurance Company, The
booklet was published to celebrate in I95
the 50th anniversary of the company's found
ing. From very humble beginnings, though -backed
with a formidable list of guarantors,
the company has grown steadily in assets and
in service. Though it dropped the more
provincial "Oregon" several years ago to
assume the broaderthough very conventional
''Standard" name the company still cherishes
its close identification with Oregon. The
brochure by text and illustration attaches the '
company to the men and events familiar in
Oregon'' development.

Split on Utility Excise Tax?
Our legislator appear to be mora diligent
divesting the state of revenues and revenue
opportunities than of Increasing the flow to
state coffers. Latest "giveaway" is i bill by
Sens. Boivin and Lewis to give counties half
the receipts frdm the state excise tax on util
ities. The justification for. the bill lies in the
. shift through property revaluation which has"
resulted in raising the ratio for non-utility
property. Counties have complained. They
have lost no revenues as a result, but the
share paid by utilities has been less In pro
portion. Utilities now are being made subject to
the corporate excise tax which, of course,
goes to-the state.
' It doesn't seem to The Statesman that cor
rection of inequities in assessments warrants
a diversion of utility taxes to counties. With
all the calls on the state for government serv
ices, its need for funds is paramount.
Nobody seems to be happy over the nation
al budget or the state budget for that mat
ter. Complaints of taxpayers are being heard
in legislative halls, and there is some evi
dence that legislators are listening. The Dem
ocratic target in Oregon, as stated by Speaker
Pat Dooley, is considerably under previous
estimates. In Washington the administration
seems disposed to have Congress hack at the
budget submitted if it can see any soft wood
that might be cut off. And the President says
he is asking department heads to sharpen
their pencils in. figuring their expenses. The
House Ways and Means committee has done
some paring of department requests. In
terior's first of all. When the job is done,
probably the savings will be mere shavings

Editorial Comment
DURANTE THE MAGNIFICENT
On March 17 at the Waldorf-Astoria the
American entertainment industry is uniting to
honor one of' it great men. Only Jimmy Durante
could be the subject of to universal and heart
' felt a tribute. Very few others have maintained
to lengthy and to undimmed a reputation at a
great comedian; very few others have engen
dered in audiences such a tense of personal af
fection. lA wlu rtn halr tn the Have M
f and Durante ha ve known " and
for veari mat teem counties.
Youngsters who have encountered him for the first
time on television have responded to him with
a kindred enthusiam. Like Cyrano de Boigerac
pardon, de Bergerac Mr. Durante has expos
ed the great soul that lies beneath a massive
nose, and also like Cyrano, he has at times left
his audience uncertain whether to laugh or to
weep. . i
If versatility is one of the hallmarks of a
great entertainer, Mr. Durante certainly has a
powerful claim to greatness. In vaudeville, in
night clubs, in the movies, oa records, on radio
and, finally, on television, he has invariably de
lighted his audience. Today he is known to and
beloved by more Americans than at any time
previously, and the good wishes and thanks of
all of them will be extended to him warmly as
he receives the formal appreciation of the pro
fession of which be is a part. New York Herald-Tribune.

quite confidently predicted that

J By these mean, in sum, the

comparable to the upset in the

occurred in the Thirties.

Curious to' know ; why the
drafters of the state constitution

impeachment, I looked -up the
-matter in Carey's history of the
constitutional convention. Ap
parently there was no debate
on this section. It war part of
the original draft on the judi
cial department and sailed
through first, second and third
readings to final adoption...
A related provision which ap
pears as Section 20 "Original
Article VII" did provoke tome
debate. Thit read: '
"The governor may remove
from office a judge of the su
preme court or prosecuting; t-
torney, upon the joint resolu-
tion of the legislative assembly,'
in which two-thirds of the mem
bers elected to each house shall
concur, for incompetency, cor
ruption, malfeasance, or delin
quency in office, or other suffi
cient cause stated " in such .
resolution."
.: The debate in the eohstitu
. tional convention was ever a
proposed amendment to change
"may" to "shall." This would
have required the governor to
oust the official on resolution
the Legislative Assembly.

members feeling that- the gov
ernor should have some option
in the matter lest an official be
ousted for mere political
reasons. So far as I know this
provision of the constitution
has never been applied. There
may even be some question. a
to its validity since' it was
omitted from the 1910 revision
of Article VII.
Some provision should
be
made for suspension of a public
official who la under indict
ment, especially- for a district
attorney. His salary should be
continued pending a disposition
of the case: but he ought to be

do the Job, all right. However
h looks ss tnougn tne eonstitu-

vide mechanics of removal or
suspension of a public official
irom office, where sufficient
caus exists.

Two former Negro Communist

Leonard Patterson told the Lou

And Manning Johnson said
Communists worked on Negro pas
tors in Dixie, pressuring them to

ments.
Both New Yorkers were former
Red leaders before they turned
against the party.
Johnson said Communists fa
vored the churches in the South
as a target because they provided
a cloak of respectability and
place to hide from police investi

"When a cry arose against the

agents thus created sympathy for
