It is refreshing, then, to note that
the American Federation of Labor
leaders have finally concluded that
what hurts business hurts labor also.
Therefore, the Federation has asked
that congress do something about the
undivided profits and capital gains
tax, pointing out that because the
earnings of industry have been cur
tailed by such taxation, labor suffers
because of resulting unemployment.
Decision of Secretary of State Snell
to certify a short term United States
senatorship on the November ballot
is expected to bring out a number of
candidates for this poet. Snell’s de
cision was based upon an oral opin
ion by Attorney General Van Winkle
reiterating an old opinion given in
1018 holding that senators appointed
by the governor to fill a vacancy held
office only until the date of the gen
eral election. The short term sena

When making out Federal income
tax returns, Oregon motorists may
deduct money paid out during 1937
as a result of the state’s gasoline tax
rate of five cents per gallon, E. B.
McDaniel, president of the Oregon
State Motor Association, declared to
day.
Reporting on income tax deduc- j
tions allowed motorists by reason of'
car operation, he continued.
“Every penny paid to the State in
the form of registration and other'
special fees may be deducted by Ore- ■
gon motorists. Also, they may deduct
amounts paid out in state gasoline
taxes when traveling through most of
the other states, as the Bureau of
Internal Revenue now allows full de
ductions for all but ten states, name

“However, it is important to re

Federal gasoline and other, excise
taxes are strictly not deductible."

Any doubt as to Governor Martin's
attitude toward a second term were
set at rest this week by the appear
ance of buttons bearing the govern
or’s picture and the slogan, “Re-elect
Governor Martin.” While the gov-
candidacy ba. did- adnut to iMwapa "’
permen that he “would like to re
main governor as long as possible."
Supporters of the governor. feel that
his chances for the democratic nom
ination have been substantially in
creased by the dissention in the ranks
of the anti-administration forces
while reports from over Rhe state
indicate that Martin stock has risen
several points on the strength of the
recent round-up of labor gangsters.
Secretary of State Earl Snell has
promised the suspense that has cen
tered around his political intentions
with a statement before this week is
ended—probably for Sunday morning
release. Speculation around the state
house centers on two guesses: that
Snell will either be a candidate for
a second term in his present office or
that he will make a try for the re
publican nomination for United
States senator, leaving the guberna
torial field open for some other can
didate, probably State Treasurer Hol
man who appears to be the best bet
the republicans have for that posi
tion.
In spite of emphatic denials by
Utilities Commission Wallace that a
purge of republican employees is
pending in his department, rumors
of pending shake-up in the utilities
organization exist.
These rumors
center largely around the head of E.
A. Landis, supervisor of the motor
vehicle division, a republican who
was brought into the organization by
Frank C. McCulloch when he took
over the department at the time of
the change in the state administration
in 1935. It is known that a number
of “deserving” democrats have been
looking with longing eyes at Landis’
