Commissioner's Resignation la Sent
to Gov. Olcott. Colleagues Get
Praise. Will Lay Down Duties at
End of Current Year.
(From Sunday's Oregonian)
W. B. Barratt, member of the state
highway commission, tendered his
resignation to Governor Olcott yes
terday. The resignation will take
effect December 31. This course was
adopted by Commissioner Barratt,
who ia the eastern Oregon member
of the board, in order to give Governor-elect
Pierce ample time for
selecting a new man.
In hia letter. Commissioner Bar
ratt says that his only regret in
leaving the department is that he
will miss hia association with a few
men who "in this day and age, when
suspicion and slander are rife, can
stand up before the world imbued
with the supreme satisfaction that
they have givn the best that was in
them, unselfishly."
Service Covers Two Year
Mr. Barratt, who is a sheepman of
Morrow county, was selected by Gov
ernor Olcott to fill the unexpired
term of E. E. Kiddle of Union county
when the latter died. Mr. Barratt was
appointed in December 1920, so that
he has served two years. At the ex
piration of Mr. Kiddle's term, Mr.
Barratt was reappointed on the under
standing, stipulated by himself, that
he would continue only until the plans
of this year were worked out.
Owing to the scope of the work of
the department and the innumemable
details, it requires about two years
for a new n-an on the commission to
become sufficiently familiar with the
programme to develop into a valu
able member. Mr. Barratt has reached
this point.
Resignation Not Unexpected
The resignation of Commissioner
Barratt was not unexpected and is
not primarily caused by the change
in the governor's office. For several
months Mr. Barratt has planned mov
ing from Heppner to Portland and
this would require a change, under
the law, as he would lose hia resi
dence in eastern Oregon. The same
situation developed when W. L.
Thompson, member of the first com
mission, moved from Pendleton to
Portland.
The letter to Governor Olcott fol
lows: Honorable Ben W. Olcott, Governor
of the State of Oregon.
Dear Sir: I hereby tender my re
signation as highway commissioner of
the state of Oregon, to take effect
December 81, 1922.
In tendering this resignation I re
spectfully aubmit the following rea
sons, towit: Permit me to call your
attention to our agreement on my
reappointment to this office at the ex
piration of Mr. Kiddle's term wherein
I expessly stated that lor personal
reasons I would not consent to fill
out the entire term of three years,
but that I would agree to serve tem
porarily or until the 1922 road pro
gramme projected by the commission
was consumated. That time has now
arrived, or nearly so, and in order to
give Governor-elect Pierce due time to
consider the appointment or my suc
cessor to fill this important position,
I deem it to be but fair to him to
submit my resignation to you at this
time, to take effect as stated above.
I am surrendering my commission
with the positive knowledge that the
power vested in the highway commis
sion by you and the members of the
legislature during my incumbency
has never been abused and my only
regret in severing my connections
with the department is that in doing
so I thai I be deprived of the associa
tions of a few men, yourself included,
who In this day and age. when sus
picion and slander are rife, can stand
un before the world imbued wun tne
supreme satisfaction that they have
given the best that was in them, un
selfishly, for the upbuilding of the
state of Oregon and the advance
ment of the interests of the citizens
within its boundaries.
Thanking you most heartily for the
honor conferred by this appointment
and for confidence reposed in me, I
am, sir, yours respectfully,
W. B. BARRATT.
November 25, 1922.
Highway Engineers Praised.
"I hope," said Mr. Barratt, as he
left for Heppner last night, that the
personnel of the highway depart
ment Is not disturbed. The cows of
engineers are as hard-warking and
conscientious and honest a group of
men as can be found anywhere. Hours
have meant nothing, for they have
worked nights and Sundays without
complaint, and there never has been
the slightest hint of graft connected
with the department. It is a splendid
organisation and the highways of
Oregon will serve as a monument
to their faithfulness to duty.
"As for my colleagues, Commis
sioners Booth and Yoon, I consider
them two of the biggest and most
public-spirited men in the state and
it has been a privilege to associate
with them.1'
Others Expected to Resign.
What action Chairman Booth and
Commissioner Yoon will take has
not been announced by these road
builders, but It is known that they
do not expect to serve much longer.
The law provides for throe com
missioners, one from eastern Ore
gon, one from western Oregon, Re
presentatives from several coast coun
ties have, passed resolutions asking
that a coast county be represented on
the commission. Mr. Booth, whose
home ia in Eugene, is the western
Oregon commissioner, and Lane coun
ty is a coaBt county, although this
fact is sometimes forgotten. Mr.
Pierce's answer to the resolution wbs
In effect, that he wants the best com
missioners he can get.
Mr. Tollman Possibility.
Back of the resolution from the
coast county meeting was, it Is re

Republicans Held Own
In Twelve States; Lost
One in Fifteen States
Analysis of Election Rrsulte Prove
Satisfactory for "Off Year"
In Politics.
Washington, Nov. 28. According
to complete returns from all Con
gressional Districts the Republicans
will have 225 members in the next
House. The Democrats and others
who may be counted upon to organise
against the Republicans will have
210. This will give the Republicans
a clear majority of 15.
The Republican party suffered a
loss of 77 members of the House of
Representatives in the recent elec
tions. A majority of these losses were
districts which under normal con
ditions are Democratic and which
were swept into the Republican
column by the landslide of 1920.
It is of more than passing signifi
cance that of the states outside the
Solid South" 27 either retained
their present Republican delegation
in the House or lost only on Repub
lican. The 12 states which retained their
present Republican delegationa are
California, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa,
Kentucky, Maine, North Dakota,
South Dakota. Utah, Vermont, Wash
ington and Wyoming.
In 15 states the present Republican
delegation in Congress was decreased
by only one. These statea are Con
necticut, Delaware, Kansas, Mary
hind, Massachusetts, Michigan, Min
nesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hamp
shire, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode
Island, Virginia and Wisconsin. While
some of these states are small and
had only one or two members in Con
gress, which makes the Republican
loss in those states relatively 100
per cent, on the other hand Kansas,
Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin
have solid Republican delegations in
the present Congress and the loss of
only one Republican in each of these
states is a very commendable show
ing. Massachusetts, another strong
Republican state, has on its delega
tion at present only two Democrats
and this number was increased by
only one.
Just m several normally Democra
tic districts were swept into the Re
publican column in 1920 by the Presi
dential landslide, so in this campaign
several normal Republican distnsts
were swept into the Democratic co
lumn by the operation of local issues
and factional troubles. It is not to be
expected that these local conditions
will continue for two years to operate
to the detriment of the Republican
party in those districts.
X1S SEALS SUE
Governor Ben W. Olcott has given
hia unqualified endorsement of the
annual sale of Christmas Seals
through the following letter to Mrs.
Sadie Orr-Dunbar, Executive Secre
tary of the Oregon Tuberculosis As
sociation: "It gives me great pleasure to add
my endorsement to the Christmas
Seal Sale this coming month. It is my
earnest hope that the citixens
throughout the state will give their
hearty and spontaneous assistance
to this movement. I know it has done
a vast amount of good in the past and
I believe the campaign against tuber
culosis should be unremittingly wa
ged until that terrible plague ia wip
ed out. Assuring you of my best wish
es in your efforts."
The Seal Sale opened Saturday,
when 10,000 letters each containing
from $1.00 to (100.00 worth of Seals
were mailed out to Portland people.
The Sale throughout the state will
open December 1st and close Christ
mas Eve. The sale of Seals at a penny
apiece constitutes the only source of
income which the Association has.
The budget for 1923 is $40,000, hence
a generous and genral purchase of
seals is imperative.
Ninety-five per cent of the proceeds
from the sale of Seals is kept tight
here in Oregon to extend the educa
tional and preventive work and to
build up a general health program,
much of which centers about the
children of the state. Only five per
cent of the proceeds go to the Na
tional Association.
In Oregon the Christmas Seals pay

Governor Abolishes Of
fice of State Water Supt.
Governor Olcott, by an executive
order abolished the office of state wa
ter superintendent as a seperate state
office and merged its duties with those
of the state engineer.
The order is effective January 1.
The office Is held by George T. Co
chran of La Grande, who receives a
salary of $2400 a year from the state.
No additional salary will be paid
State Engineer Percy A. Cupper for
taking over the new duties.
The governor's action is in con
formance with an act of the legisla
ture a few years ago which gave the
governor the privilege of merging
the two offices whenever the adjudi
cation of state water rights reached
the point that such action might seem
warranted. In his letter to Mr. Coch
ran apprising him of the move, the
governor says that it is his opinion
that such adjudication affecting the
large streams of the state has been
made.
The legislature which gave this
power to the governor in the same
act abolished the office of water sup
erintendent for district No. 1, then
held by J. T. Chinook of Grants Pas,
snd left but one superintendent for
this office being taken over by Mr.
Cochran who was superintendent for
what was known as district No. 2
