That is the reason the credulous re spond quickly to many of the econ omic cures which are being advanced today. They cannot analyze in terms of billions of dollar*. Senator Byrd, of Virginia, however,' has collected himself some figure* which anyone ” can understand, and coming from an outstanding democrat in criticism of present governmental policies they carry a full significance. “Our federal appropriation bill, as proposed for on* year,” the Virgin ian said, “is nearly five per cent of our total national wealth. It is one- fifth of the total gross income of the nation for 1933. It is double—twice— the total cash income for 1932 of all the farmers of the United States. It L is nearly five time* the total net in comes returned by all corporation* STATE HOUSE GOSSIP (By Ernest L. Gray ) The State of Oregon heaved a sigh of relief at 12:12 a. m. Thursday when the 38th legislative assembly, the second longest in the history and the most expensive, adjourned sine die. Record* will show the legislature ad journed at 11 p. m. Wednesday, March 13, because that was the wording of the resolution and the clock* were stopped at that hour. The senate quit just a half hour earlier, but the house almost pulled a “honer” when it tried to quit a short time after. But Speaker John Cooter, was on the job, and recessed the house for five minutes. Everyone wondered why—but it was because the house had not adopted a per diem report, which paid the help and the representatives' mileage. It was al- most a tragedy, particularly to the legislative help. But with this almost slip-up the 1935 regular session adjourned in an orderly manner even though earlier in the evening riot also took control of the house and galleries were al most cleared because of the noise and disturbance Thing* adjusted them selves, however, and to the tune of Auld Lang Syne the session ad journed. A dance orchestra, the courtesy of Governor Martin, fur nished entertainment in the lobby for several hour* later. I 41 : I I ¡ I I It will take several months for the state to realize just what the session ha* accomplished For one thing, it can be complimented for what it didn’t do to the many radical meas ure* proposed before it. The session did not pass any radical legislation, which in itself is worthy of note in these time* of unrest. As far a* the governor was con cerned, the session was not over until Tuesday night of this week, which was the allotted time to either veto, sign or fil* with the secretary of stat* V £5 7 f The legislative halls looked dreary ifter the session It was estimated hat daily during the 59 days there were at least 2,000 either present or passed through the halls. The staff of help totaled 200 persons in addi- ion to regular official worker*. It was an interesting two months. Little stock was placed in the sug gested referendum on the closing of he Rogue river, which was signed by he governor last Saturday. The old ipposition—Roderick L. McCleay— .vas conspicuous by his absence. Lit- le fight was put up to continue per- nitting commercial fishing in this p-eat stream. And while the Rogue fight was on 1 debate arose which was the greater tream, the Rogue or the Umpqua. \nd to the surprise of many it was ound the Umpqua was slightly the arger and covered more territory, loth are perhaps the most beautiful and wild streams in the state, and both are in southwestern Oregon. Perhaps by the time this column appear* in print, 'the committee ,of three to investigate the activities of the state relief committee will be ap- poined At first it was proposed to have former Governor Oswald West do the investigating, but following the conference at Salem Saturday, it was decided to name a committee of three, of which it was anticipated West would be one. Charge* made by person* on re lief, banded together under the title of the National Economic Welfare federation, that a “million dollars seem* to ’ have disappeared," were not taken seriously by the governor, but a thorough investigation will be made. .As far as Elmer Goudy, state ^administrator, was con cerned, national official* declare be was among the most efficient in the entire United States, and they were satisfied with hi* work. - . Perhaps the largest bill vetoed by the governor up to the present writ ing, was that which would establish Junior colleges, a proposal much de sired by eastern Oregon. The bill was killed by veto after Dr. James Best, its author and sponsor, had worked hard and effectively in secur ing it* passage. Requirement of ad ditional tex levies was the reason of the veto, the governor to date being consistent on that score. t for 1932. A tax of one per cent on products of manufacturing would yield the government only »250,000,- 000. Therefore, we are spending this year a sum equal to the yield of a sales tax on products of manufac turing of 38 per cent.” And Senator Byrd concludes, “1 do not believe a government can borrow and spend its way to prosperity any more than an individual can enrich himself by living beyond hi* income. I am convinced that the time has come when temporary and emer gency measures should yield to sound principles of government and ■ Martin will take a much deserved rest and will be on vacation for at least a week or ten day*. Afterjiis return one can expect his entire at tention will be turned to new ap pointments and reorganizing the state government as he wishes. A few representative* remained in the legislative halls a* late a* Satur day, but they had things on their minds One wits Representative Hafty Frazier of Molalla, Clackamas county, who, it was learned, had sub mitted hi* application for the position of executive secretary of the World War Veterans’ State Aid Commission, a position now being ably filled by Jerrold Owen. ' What chance Frazier had was a matter of pure conjecture. Owen has proved an efficent officer. He was appointed—as Frazier would have to be—by the governor, secretary of state, adjutant general and two other members of this commission. Frazier, it was recalled, came to the legisla ture with hi* arm in a sling but by the time of adjournment was fully recovered. Senator Ashby C. Dickson must resign at once as a member of the state legislature. He, through Con gressman Walter E. Pierce, was named NRA attorney for the coast. That perhaps was the reason Dickson fought so hard to kill the bill which would have denied Pierce the honor of holding both the job as congress man and as national democratic com mitteeman. Pierce and Governor Martin are not the best of friends. Dickson, who came from Multno mah county, was serving his last term, and unless there is a special session—which many believe will be the order—no appointment need be made in his place. Should there be an appointment necessary, it would be up to the county court or the board of county commissioners, the same now as any other vacancy in the legislature. D. A. Emerson, state supervisor of high schools, has been working in Coo* county during the last week. During this time he ha* visited each of the high schools in order to check them a* to whether or not they are accredited. Mr Emerson will pre sent his finding* to the state board. It would appear that a few of the smaller high schools will be obliged to make improvement* in order to continue as an accredited school.
