Can't some bright legislator evolve a plan which will per nit the federal officers to clean Up drunken and earless auto mobile drivers? feilURU Election of General Chan. H. Mar tin as governor of Oregon wa* not surprising. No more so would-have been the election of either Joe Dunne or Peter Zimmerman. Pre-election propaganda and the element of un certainty in which the entire cam paign was shrouded up to the very last minute, had prepared the people to expect anything. There were some surprising fea ture* of the election results, however. Martin’s plurality for instance. No one, except, perhaps his most rabid partisans who were claiming every- thing, had expected the general to roll up the huge plurality which he did. A 5000 vote lead, or at the most 10 000, had been predicted by his more conservative supporters, where-1 as Martin ran more than 21,000 votes ahead of his nearest rival, Peter Zimmerman, and nearly 29,000 votes ahead of hi* republican opponent, Joe E. Dunne. Martin’s strength, and by the same token. Dunne’s weakness in th* out- state counties was a real surprise to most neutral observers of the guber natorial campaign. While it had gen erally been conceded, even by the 1 epublicans, that th* democratic can didate would run well in Multnomah county where he was well known and popular, as witness hi* overwhelming election to congress two years ago, it was just as generally believed that the out-state vote would be very close. Especially was the General believed to be weak in eastern Ore gon where it was pretty generally conceded that Dunne would receive a plurality of the vote* cast. On the contrary Martin carried 14 of the 18 counties east of the Cascade* with the other four going to Dunne and Zim merman drawing a blank so far as any pluralities were concerned, al though he wa* runner-up in several counties. Dunne’s strength in Klamath coun ty was another surprise, it being gen erally believed that Zimmerman would run ahead in that county on the strength of Mahoney’s support. While Zimmerman’s strength was known to lie largely in the Willam ette Valley and he had been conceded most of the counties in that section of the state, the progressive candidate displayed unexpected strength in Marion and Washington counties, both of which he carried by substan tial pluralities. West of the Cascades, also, Martin revealed surprising strength, carry ing eight of the 17 counties in the first congressional district. In fact the strength of the democratic candi date was pretty evenly divided over the entire state. Completed election returns show that he received a plu rality of approximately 21,400 vote*. Of this total he came out of Multno mah county with 7,372 votes to the gopd, picking up 14,000 more in the out-state counties. Since slightly more than one-third of the total vote cast was in Multnomah county th* plurality in and out of that county are almost in exactly direct proportions to the vote cast Martin carried a total of 23 coun ties, running second in ten and third in three. Zimmerman received plu ralities in seven counties, all in west ern Oregon and was runner up in nine Dunne carried only six countie* bat ran second, in 18 other* and trailed behind Zimmerman, runner-up, in — Gov.

Not onl - do the democrat» dominate the -iustion in the hauav but they seem aiso to be in a very fait way to dictate the organize don oi the senate, what with some help from the progressive republicans of that body. With 13 votes in their own right, just three short of a constitu tional majority, it is entirely probable that ll»e democrats will be able to term a coalition with the left wing republicans to prevent at least the election of Harry Corbett to the sen ate presidency, ns had been planned, if not actually elect one of their owr number to that office. Corbett, although unquestionably one of the most able members of th« senate and a hands-down favorite fo> the senate presidency up until the re cent upheaval, is admittedly of the u'.tra-conservative school. The senate presidency, always a much coveted hbnor, is especially im portant at this time in the light o» the New Deal sentiment of the voters of the state and the relation which this office holds to the gubernatorial succession. In view of the possibili ty that they may be able to dictate the senate organization the democrat* herefore are already discussing pos sible candidates for the gavel-wield ing job. Of the 13 democrats in the text senate only six are veterans, and therefore, eligible to the job. These are W. H. Strayer, of Baker county: Ashby C. Dickson, of Multnomah; John Goss, of Coos; Walter S. Fisher, of Douglas; James H. Hazlett, of Hood River, and Henry L. Hess, of Union Of these Strayer, with 20 years of continuous service to his credit, is by far the most experienced and the log ical choice for the democratic lead ership but is said to be not overly eager for the responsibility. Dickson, on the other hand, is understood t< be ambitious for the honor and the other four in a recepive mood. in the house the democrat* seem to i^ve played a rather sorry trick on George Winslow of Tillamook, Lowell Paget of Multnomah and Earl Hill of Lane. Each of these republican vet erans had the speakership “in the bag” and all sewed up ready for de livery to themselves in person on January 14, next. And then along came the democratic hord?s to steal the bag, speakership and all. In fact Winslow and Paget were among the casualties in the recent battle of the ballots and will not even be in the legislature, much less serve as pre siding officer, and the hopes of Hill, who was re-elected, were rudely shattered by the democratic victory. Now that they have the speaker ship in their possession what will the democrats do with it? Already specu lation is rife as to who will win the honor. While there are 38 democrats who would no ddùbt be willing to sit on the rostrum and run the show, custom decrees that the job shall go to a veteran of at least one previous session which narrows the choice down to seven on the democratic side of the house. Only 38 of the 90 members of the 1935 legislature have had any pre vious law-making experience. The other 84, or more than two-thirds of the entire membership of the two branches, are novices at the business In the senate 18 former members will be back at their desks and of the 12 new senators three are former members of the house so that they will not be entirely new to the game. But in the house there will be 45 freshmen, entirely without any leg islative experience. Only 15 of the 83 representatives, or one-fourth of the house membership, have had pre vious experience and of these 15 the experience of 11 is limited to a single session so that only four of the house members can be classed as veterans and these four are all republicans. But that little detail is not expected to deter the democrats in their deter mination to make the most of the op portunity that is offered them at last, after more than 50 years of waiting, to revamp the house organization ac cording to their own ideas, from top to bottom. The democratic landslide of Nov ember 8, in addition to electing a democratic governor for Oregon also swept the democrats into control of th* house of repreoeotatives of the state legislature for the first time since in. Thirty-eight members of th* party Calling TO tt.'J ■ ULLIC: Th< elecoon is ove- ,ul everybody has had their say, i. ,J a'so has had the Gp--oriu;.u.v to oast a vote We now have to aiold; by their decision These war, some misstatements made in answer to my article that wt,: published in part by the Coos Bay Times on Cct. 25 and by the Co- qutlie Valley Sentinel in full on Oct 26. I feel tlxat it L*i my duty to inform lite voters i i Coos County at this time of tl>e tacts in regard lo state ments that liuve been made. Two editors of • weekly paper*, namely the Western World, Bandon, and il>e Coos Buy Harbor. North 'lend, refused to print my article, iloth editors in an editorial took ex ception to my writing and publishing raid article at that time. The West ern World ck.«mod it was published at the “11th” hour and the Harbor ‘at the last minute for anyone to •lake a reply properly.” The facts are this article was pub isred 10 days, 240 hours, or 14,400 nlnutes before the day on which the Section was held, and all newspa pers in Coos County have been pub- ished since the above dates and be- .oi-e the election, so everyone had an opportunity to publicly answer or comment on said article. Judge D. F. Thompson has taken it upon hiirxeif to answer said article in the Coos Bay Harbor and the Coos Bay Times. <, In his article In the above papers he states that the charges are “am biguous.” In the first place no charges were made in said article, what was said was taken from the records of Coos County. If ambi guous, the Judge himself is the author, as he writes the orders of the County Court.. He also states, “The writer of this tirade claims that he issued his state ment to inform the Public!” In this he is absolutely correct. The definition of the word “tirade," is a long violent speech, especially of blame or abuse. If this word is properly applied to my article, again the Judge is the author as they are public records. Referring to his paragraph about the Board ofEqualization. There was no disagreement over any matter* before the board. The board accept ed my recommendations on all appli cations except one; that was the in completed 8300,000 hotel building in Marshfield, which I had assessed at $5000. The Board’s other two mem bers reduced i 1000. I. I took no Istori exeception to decision. He states, “Two weeks ago he, (re ferring to myself), had a definite bieak in the board and the ‘tirade’ is the result.” The board-completed its work on Sept. 12th and adjourned. That was over six weeks ago. There has been no meeting since that 'and there will not be, unless called by the State Tax Commission. He also states, “The court feel* that it had full authority for creation of Cash Emergency Funds.” That' is no doubt a very fine feeling to have a little cash. But he did not cite the section of the statute where such au thority is granted. In reference to his paragraph in regard to the sale of timber land con taining 24,420 M. ft. of timber, in Sec 34-28-10 and Sec. 20-28-9. He state* in part as follows: “The Court felt that it wa* in the first place assessed many times in excess of its true value and that its location to water and rail transportation was not taken into ac count.” If 3 H cents per M., the price for which it sold, is a fair market value, it is asaeaeed 10 times too high To my knowledge no complaint has been mad* in the past 18 yean about the assessed value of timber in Twp 28-9 A 10. The U. S. Government owns 20 sections in Twp. 28-10. This limber could not be bought from the government at $1-00 per M.; it is as sessed at 38 cents. Th* rates for assessment purpose* were set and zoned by a committee of timbermen back in 1913; at that time •the rate in that zone wk* aet at 40 cent*. In 1928, the rate wa* reduced to 38 cent*. If the county had held that timber in reserve until opera tion* reach it, it would no doubt be worth from $30,000 to $40,000; (the only carrying charge would be the Fire Patrol.) This would be 80 times more than the price received. Why not plan a little for the future and not be so selfish for the present. He states that “vary ofen assess ment of timber continue* after the logging was done.” This always hap pens where the owner or operator fail* to report the timber being cut They are all requested and knoyv they should report timber that has been CUt -‘Sfe'W Your* for a square deal for every body. Sincerely, J. P. Beyer*. P. 8. The following is a piece of poetry I received through the mail: following reso'ution was ; lopted by the Coquill* Plover Lov- rrw* Club at its meeting last week: Wreieas, lb* city park grounds in r.nd around the Community Hall and “Sel-a-Spell” building have for some time been showing neglect, and . Whereas a number of organizations have already spent a considerable ym of money for purchasing and planting shrubs and lawns which will Mjon be destroyed if football and other gair.es are permitted in the lawn areas of that park, and Whereas thire seems to be a grow ing tendency on the part of various organizations to seek to appropriate certain section* of that public park for the private use of those organiza- ■iors, and Whereas it seems to be the pre dominant idea that it is the duty of the Cojuille Flower I-overs’ Club es pecially to “do something about it,’ therefore Be It Hereby Resolved that the Co quille Flower Lovers’ Club request the city council to take action on the following suggestion*: 1. That, unless the city desires to see its myrtle grove a maze of un- palnted shack«, no more buildings be permitted for club purposes; 2. That, unless the city can pro vide free separate club house* for all civic organizations, no organize tion with the exception of the Boy Scouts be permitted the use of club houses so located; 3. That a caretaker be permitted to use th* "Set-a-Spell” building as a residence and be granted a small garden spot in the rear of that build- in the space which during the past few years has been a weed patch and trash heap, in exchange for care of the lawns and shrubbery and spad ing of the beds, such tenancy to cease the moment the grounds become neg- leced. 4. That the Boy Scouts be permit ted the use of cabin space in the park only a* long as they keep the rear ground* of the park clean and free from trash. 5. That th* city Instruct its police to se* that football and other game* be prohibited on the lawn areas and near the shrubbery Be It Further Resolved that copies of these resolutions and requests be sent to the city counci and to each of the Coquille papers with the request that all other civic-minded organiza tions take similar action. , Respectfully submitted, Coquille Flower Lovers’ Club QI Geo.
