JUDGE BRAND’S ADDRESS APPRECIATED IN PORTLAND They are learning to appreciate Coos county’s Judge Jas. T. Brand in Portland, and probably when the judge is ready to make the race (wc don’t know that he has any such in tention in mind) for justice of th. Oregon supreme court, he will proba bly receive a larger measure of sup port in the state1* metropolis than h< did the last time he ran. The Oregon Voter last week pre stn'ed in full the text of the addres Judge Brand recently made before the City Club of Portland, on “Th. New Ocal and the Constitution,” anc made the following introductory comment on his talk: Neither distatorship, fascism nor administrative usurpation are a dan ger to American institutions so loni as the form of our federal Constitu tlon is retained in its structural sep aration of governmental powers. Sue! is the comfort we drew from a no table address delivered before the City Club of Portland by Judg« James T. Brand of Marshfield. The literary excellence of this address was such as to captivate the audience, while its major reasoning impressed profoundly. Judge Brand's explanation of “Due Process of Law’* will be of especial interest to the lay reader. Also, his emphasis on form as more Important than substance. Also, the point he raises about the requirement that Congress convene every two yean. TEN TIME8 TOO MANY It took two years to count t!>e local governments in the United States: 175,418, according to a survey jur published by Professor Anderson of the University of Minnesota. This it ten times too many. It includes 127, 000 school districts, 20,000 townships 16,000 incorporated cities or villages 3000 counties, and 8600 miscellaneous sewer district, park district, levee districts, mosquito abatement dis tricts, etc., each with a payroll and the power to tax — an intolerably wasteful set-up. Because they are concentrated in Washington, Federal employees draw a concentrated fire of criticism. But their numbers are Insignificant compared with the great army of overlapping employees of lesser political machines. Economy, like charity, should begin at home.— Business Week. BONUS PAYMENT WILL BENEFIT COOS COUNTY “Oregon will benefit to the extent of $20,679,034.90 if Congress adopts the American Legion’s proposal for immediate payment of the Adjusted Service Certificates, commonly mis named the bonus, as an effective me dium for distributing the federal government’s relief and recovery funds,” said Wilbur Haynes, Com mander of the local American Legion Post. “This plan not only assures an equitable distribution throughout the country but it will not add a dollar to the national debt," he said. The Coos county payment would total $815,155 02 The figures were prepared by Representative Wright Patman of Texas and have been de clared by officials of the Veterans’ Administration in Washington to be as nearly correct as it is possible to make them. STATE HOUSE GOSSIP By Ernest L. Gray One of the political mysteries ap pears to be solved. Not meaning to pull a “Walter Winchell.” but a blessed event is the answer. Conver sation of friends strongly implies a gift from heaven for Beatrice Wal ton Sackett, thus explaining why she consented only to a short time as private secretary to the new gov ernor. She has been secretary to Julius L. Meier the past four years, during which time she married Shel don Sackett, a Salem newspaper pub lisher It be any until after the 90 law. makers are on their way h®nne. He Will concentrate his entire time from his induction into office until February 22 or later to a legislative program. If the legisla- 'o.a can co mplete the program in 40 days they will record the sine die on Washington’s birthday. And while such speculation has ‘jeen rife, leaders in the legislature n*e declaring they will adjourn at the ■nd of .30 days. Such a prophesy is r.ore than n?ws hounds can swallow. They all predict it will be closer to 50 days than 30. Reports of the nany issues to be considered indicate a long an^hard session. One thing becomes more apparent as the time for the new administra tion draws near—and that is that General Charles H. Martin will not only be governor; but he will be com manding officer of the state. He will be general as well as governor, n other words, he will be the Chief Executive, it will not be any “budget ii rectors’* or the like. Instead of abolishing the budget Apartment, Martin plans to be his wn budget director, but will give he department more power and em- loy several assistants. He will also i*tempt to abolish the board of con- ol as such and give himself the •ower exclusively over all institu- ions, which he will rule through an ■ppointive director. Blanket authority, similar to that 'iven by congress to Roosevelt, is vhat Martin will seek from the leg» slature. He will get his reques’s from the house, but the senate, made ip mostly of veterans, may not grant blind authority. Consolidations when and where he wishes as he secs "it will be requested. Martin’s program to the legisla- "ure will be interesting to watch. He has not divulged the details, not even to Howard Latourette. of Portland, who boasts he will be the floor lead er of the lower house. Latourette last session was lobbyist for hotel inter ests during the passage of the Knox liquor bill. He is a democrat and a first termer in the house. He un doubtedly will have a strong fol low- ’ng, but may not he the floor leader. NOW ON DISPLAY Veterans’ organizations over the state will urge the Oregon legislature o inon'.oi slice congress to pass the ash bonus bill. With more than $20,000,000 to be brought into the tatc in the form of cash bonsuses, naturally keen interest will be taken ind the legislature would be tempted o urge the passage. It will be pre sented, at least. New ramifications on the liquor question have developed the pas', week since the new orders on drug stores, grocery s ores and road hous- 88 have been issued. And while there may be definite changes in the law restricting the power of the li quor commission, a test suit in court has been rumored to clear the dis tinction between beer places inside and outside city limits.
