V P Herman Comity Jlomnal Forty Eighth Year No. 33 State Affairs By A. L Lindbeck - The proposed state-owned radio system for use of the policSÉibureau and highway department J0s now progressed to the state where bids will be received for installation of the system at the meeting of the highway commission in Portland on June 27. Fourteen installa tions are contemplated. Three stations of 1000-watt capacity each will be installed at Salem, La- Grande and Klamath Falls. Small er stations of 50-watt capacity will be installed at r Roseburg. The Dalles, Portland, Astoria, Bend, Coquille and Burns.. Still smaller stations of 10-watt capacity will be installed at Pendleton, Baker, Eugene and Grants Pass. It is es timated that the installations will cost $50,000 of which the federal government will supply 45 percent A balance of more than $4,000 still remaining in a relief fund con tributed by state employees in 1931 will be used for the relief of any employee who was on the state payroll at the time the fu^d was created and who might W in need at some time in the future.. This was decided by members of the fund committee at a meeting this week. The money had been tied up in the First National Bank in Salem and has only recently been released. Approximately $85,000 was contributed by state employees toward the relief of needy persons at that time. Continuation of the program of adult education after this month will depend upon the availability of federal funds according to Ro- ben J. Maaske, director of the pro gram. Maaske said _ that 10.545 adults are now enrolled in the var ious course* being offered in the 25 counties and giving employment to 252 otherwise jobless teachers. Legal authorities who have had opportunity to study the recent opinion of the United States su preme court in the New York case are pretty generally agreed that the principle of minimum wage leg islation has been dealt a blow from which it can recover only through resort' to a constitutional amend ment. Oregon was the first state to enact a minimum wage law. The act passed in this state in 1913 and upheld by the U. S. supreme court in 1917, has been closely fol lowed by most of the other 16 states which have written minimum wage legislation into their statu es since that time. Two Salem citizens who witness ed the laying of the comor stone for Oregon’s old capital in 1873 were present to watch Govemoi Martin turn the first dirt for the proposed new capitol last week. They were H. S. Belle, now- 91 years of age, and Mrs. Ida Bab cock. State departments and institu tions are already beginning to give attention to their biennial budgets for 1937-38. Budget requests for the next two years are expected to exceed those for the current bien nium because of the gradually in creasing cost of all commodities. It is also expected that strenuous efforts will be made to restore pay of state officials, and employees to the 1932 base from which it was re duced by cuts enforced by the leg islative session of 1933. ¿ÿ* * * * “lb* State employees who have been escaping federal income taxes in the past may not be so fortunate in the future. This applies espec ially to employees of self-support ing departments. ¡First intimation that Uncle Sam was rounding up new contributors to' his public purse came in a request for a list of employees of the industrial ac cident commission together with their salaries for the past four years. This department is support ed by contributions from indus trial employers and receives no state funds. A number of other state departments are in the same category, notably the public utili ties commission, the motor trans sort division, the liquor control commission and the banking depart ment. Mrs. Clara Patterson, superin tendent of the state industrial school for girls plans to ask the next legislature for a new building —a combination gymnasium, aud itorium and school room. The in stitution now has 61 inmates hous- ed in two cottages. The state’s relief budget is. to be.
