Governor's Election
A Democratic House
Few Veterans
By A. L. LINDBECK
SALEM. Election of General
Chas. H. Martin as governor of
Oregon was not surprising. No
more so would have been the elec
tion of either Joe Dunne or Peter
Zimmerman. Pre-election propa
ganda and the element of uncer
tainty in which the entire campaign
was shrouded up to the very last
minute, had prepared the people to
expect anything.
There were some surprising fea
tures of the election results, how
ever. Martin's plurality for instance.
No one, except perhaps, his most
rabid partisans who were claim
ing everything, had expected the
general to roll up the huge plural
ity which he did. A 5000 vote lead,
or at the most 10,000, had been pre
dicted by his more conservative sup
porters, whereas Martin ran more
than 21,000 votes ahead of his near
est rival, Peter Zimmerman, and
nearly 29,000 votes ahead of his re
publican opponent, Joe E. Dunne.
Martin's strength, and by the
same token, Dunne's weakness in
the outstate counties was a real
surprise to most neutral observers
of the gubernatorial campaign.
While it had generally been con
ceded, even by the republicans, that
the democratic candidate would run
well in Multnomah county where he
was well known and popular, as
witness his overwhelming election
to congress two years ago, it was
just as generally believed that the
out-state vote would be very close.
Especially was the general believed
to be weak in eastern Oregon where
it was pretty generally conceded
that Dunne would receive a plur
ality of the votes cast On the con
trary Martin carried 14 of the 18
counties east of the Cascades with
the other four going to Dunne and
Zimmerman drawing a blank so far
as any pluralities were concerned
although he was runner-up in sev
eral counties.
Dunne's strength in Klamath
county was another surprise, it be
ing generally believed that Zimmer
man would run ahead In that coun
ty on the strength of Mahoney's
support. Failure of the Progress
ive candidate to carry Klamath
county is generally accounted for
by Mahoney's eleventh hour repu
diation of Zimmerman and endorse
ment of Dunne's Bonneville dam
program as broadcast in a radio
address by the Klamath mayor on
the night before election.
While Zimmerman's strength
was known to lie largely In the
Willamette valley and he had been
conceded most of the counties in
that section of the state, the Pro
gressive candidate displayed unex
pected strength in Marion and
Washington counties, both of which
he carried by substantial pluralities.
West of the Cascades, also, Mar
tin revealed surprising strength,
carrying eight of the 17 counties in
the first Congressional district. In
fact the strength of the Democratic
candidate was pretty evenly divid
ed over the entire state. Com
pleted returns show that he received
a plurality of approximately 21,400
votes. Of this total he came out of
Multnomah county with 7,372 votes
to the good, picking up 14,000 more
in the out-state counties. Since
slightly more than one-third of the
total vote cast was In Multnomah
county the pluralities in and out of
that county are almost In exactly
direct proportions to the vote cast
Martin carried a total of 23 coun
ties, running second in 10 and third
In three. Zimmerman received
pluralities in seven counties, all In
western Oregon and was runner up
in eight. Dunne carried only six
counties but ran second In 18 oth
ers and trailed behind Zimmerman
and Martin in 18.
The New Deal landslide of No
vember 6, In addition to electing a
Democratic governor for Oregon
also swept the Democrats into con
trol of the House of Representa
tives at the state legislature for the
first timo since 1878.
Thirty-eight members of the par
ty of Jackson, Jefferson, Wilson,
et al will sit in the House next
January and February whereas only
22 Republicans weathered the po
litical storm that upset the GOP
applecart. Not only do the Demo
crats dominate the situation in the
House but they seem also to be in a
very fair way to dictate the organi
zation of the Senate, what with
some help from the Progressive
Republicans of that body. With 13
votes in their own right, Just three
short of a constitutional majority,
It Is entirely probable that the Dem
ocrats will be able to form a coallr,
tlon with the left wing Republicans
to at lenst prevent the election of
Harry Corbett to the senate presi
dency, as had been planned, if not
actually elect one of their own num
ber to that olllce.
Corbett although unquestionably
one of the most able members of
the Senate, and a hands-down fa
vorite for the Senate presidency up
until the recent upheaval, is ad
mittedly of the ultra-conservative
school and as such Is not any too
popular with the more liberally
minded members of his own party.
Among these latter might be in
cluded Zimmerman and Burke of
Yamhill, Spaulding of Marlon and
Wheeler of Lane. The support of
two of these men would enable the

Federal Loans in County
Pass Quarter Million
Morrow county farmers received
71 Federa Land bank and Land
Bank Commissioner loans for a to
tal amount of $253,650 during the
past 18 months since the emergency
mortgage refinancing act was
passed, it is announced from the
bank's headquarters In Spokane.
Oregon farmers throughout the
state have received 2318 regular
type land bank loans for $8,761,019
during the same period, and 3708
Land Bank Commissioner loans for
$7,530,450, or a total of 6026 loans
of both types for $16,291,469. Farm
ers of the four northwest states
have received more than $55,000,000
in loans which refinanced $80,000,
000 of old indebtedness, saving them
$750,000 a year also in interest
charges.
Regular land bank loan9 are
made at a low rate of Interest on
first mortgage security up to 50
per cent of the appraised normal
value of the land plus 20 per cent
of the value of the permanent In
sured buildings, with amortized
payments automatically extinguish
ing the debt after a period of from
20 to 36 years. These loan funds
are supplied by private investors
who purchase long-term land bank
loans. A low rate of interest is pos
sible because the land bank oper
ates on the cooperative principle.
Commissioner loans are made out
of a special fund to meet the emer
gency need for refinancing distress
ed debt, usually involving an ad
justment with creditors. They are
made on either first or second
mortgage security, up to 75 per cent
of the appraised normal value of
the property, repayable ordinarily
in 13 years, bearing 5 per cent in
terest. Often, both types of loans
are made jointly, on a single appli
cation. Approximately 91 cents out of
each dollar of the $16,291,469 which
Oregon farmers received through
the land bank since May, 1933, went
to refinance and substantially re
duce old, indebtedness, President E.
M. Ehrhardt says. "Almost every
one in the community benefitted
from this refunding of pressing in
debtedness," he asserts. "Former
creditors have been paid, store ac
counts settled, local bank loans
liquidated, and back taxes cleared
off.
"At the same time, by getting
their mortgages refinanced on a
sound, long-term basis with a lower
rtte of interest, these farmers now
face the future with increased se
curity, renewed hope and better
pj ospect of working their way out
of debt. The paralyzing threat of
wholesale foreclosure has also been
largely overcome."
Now that they have gained this
benefit, borrowers are showing their
good faith by meeting their install
ment payments promptly when due
in order to preserve their credit
standing and fulfill their responsi
bility as stockholding members of
this permanent cooperative credit
system. All during the past emer
gency period the land bank has fol
lowed a lenient policy, granting ex
tensions to those who temporarily
could not meet their payments. But
with farm income now showing im
provement, President Ehrhardt
states that the bank is naturally
firming its collection program, ex
pecting borrowers to meet their
payments regularly, though consid
eration is given to each case on its
merits.
Ruling Received on Hog
Processing Tax Payment
Jae Belanger, county agent, is in
receipt of a ruling from the inter
nal revenue service, affecting the
payment of the processing tax on
hogs. The ruling, as follows, Is
self-explanatory:
"Replying to your letter of No
vember 10, you are advised the ar
ticle appearing in the Oregon Far
mer under the heading "Must I
Pay This Tax," is in error in re
spect to the statement that a far
mer may sell meat to a neighbor
without the payment of a hog pro
cessing tax provided the neighbor
is actually a farmer and actually
consumes the meat in his own
home. The matter of correcting this
error has been taken up with the
Oregon Farmer and the notice was
scheduled to appear in their next
publication on November 15. It Is
thought the misunderstanding arose
from the ruling Issued by the De
partment that farmers and others
who buy live hogs and slaughtered
them for their own use are not sub
ject to tax, but there Is no provis
ion in the prior regulations for al
lowing exemption of dressed pork
sold to anyone for home consump
tion, as this always has been con
strued as hogs slaughtered or sold
for market.
"Effective November 1, a change
has been made in the hog regula
tions which now requires that far
mers and feeders will only be re
quired to pay processing tax on
pork products sold by them direct
to consumers. In all other cases
the tax will be paid by the first per
son, other than the hog producer
or feeder, who performs any oper
ation in receiving, handling or
other distribution of the product;
notice of this change is incorporat
ed In the attached mimeograph cir
cular Issued by this oilice, a supply
of which Is enclosed herewith."
Copies of the circular mentioned
piay be obtained at the county ag
ent's olllce.

To the many friends who sup
ported my candidacy for the olllce
of county treasurer In the recent
election, I give my sincere thanks.

Mrs. Kaser, Widely- Trav
eled Hostess, Com
pares "Poor" South.
"GUVAMENT" COMES
Educational Relief firings New
Era, Lions Told; Boy Scout,
Bed Cross Work cited.
"There are no poor in Oregon."
This statement of Mrs. Ursulla Ka
ser, widely-traveled guest of Mr.
and Mrs. H. O. Tenney whose
charming presence reflected her re
cent position as hostess of a large
resort, was made in a talk before
the Lions Monday luncheon. It
was based on a first-hand compari
son of conditions in Oregon with
conditions which prevail in parts of
the South where she recently visit
ed. More especially was her compari
son based on the difference in scen
ic and educational wealth enjoyed
by Oregonians and that enjoyed by
the people in the southern section
of which she spoke, leaving it to
her audience to see from- the com
parison that, in truth, there are no.
poor in Oregon.
She described the lowly conditions
which prevail among these southern
people, where boys and girls are
prevented from attending the one
room school by lack of the neces
sary clothing, even though all that
is required is two pairs of overalls!
and a shirt for the boys, and twoi
dresses for the girs; where, as one
passes shanty after shanty, an ever
younger baby is in the arms of the
shabbiy-clad mother at the door.
These people have been poor al
ways, she said.
Herself a republican of the Ver
mont republicans, Mrs. Kaser gave
a picture of a new era invading this
southland in the advent of govern
ment educational relief, quoting a
popular author in the picture's
drawing. Just now are these peo
ple beginning to realize they are
part of the "guvament."
A young housewife Joined one of
the SERA classes, with visions of
making a place In the world. To
her the promise of a clerkship in a
five and ten store was a promise of
heaven for the release it offered
from the drudgery of womanhood
in the home.
A young man of 21 declared he
wanted to "lam" seventh and eighth
grade arithmetic. He was stub
born in his demands, though he had
never completed third grade arith
metic. Another young man, just becom
ing conscious of the government
wished to know whether govern
ment were spelled with an "a" oxf
art "r." Everywhere folks talk of
the "guvament" as some strange,
new benefactor. But though there
Is much illiteracy, these folks of the
southland are showing a great
thirst for knowledge. The govern
ment educational relief program
there is doing far more than provid
ing jobs tor needy teachers, its first
consideration, the speaker said.
Linking in well with Mrs. Kaser's
talk, was a short sketch of the life)
of Booker T. Washington given by
Dean Goodman, Jr., to give another
Insight into the work of the high
school English department Wash
ington, negro educator, lecturer
and writer, was educated at Hamp
ton college, founded by a relative
of Mrs. W. C. Cox of this city.
Claude Pevey, assistant scout
master, gave a short talk on the
need for leadership and the Boy
Scout training which equips boys
for such leadership in introducing
LaVerne Van Marter, Jackson Gil
liam and William McCaleb, Boy
Scouts who gave demonstrations in
signalling and first aid bandaging.
Josephine Mahoney, chairman of
the county Red Cross chapter, told
of the annual roll call which start
ed Sunday and continues until
Thanksgiving, soliciting Lions' co
pperation in putting Morrow coun
ty over the top.

'Selling Oregon to

Let's sell Oregon to ourselves!
Once again the annual campaign
of Oregon Manufacturer's associa

Oregon people the fact that prod

by showing these products prefer
ence in their purchases Oregon's
buying public will help to build big

by creating a larger buying power
by keeping money ut home, which
In turn may be applied to still
greater upbuilding of the state.
The campaign for "Oregon Prod

Idaho, Washington Meets
Set Not to Conflict;
Speakers Assured.
LOCAL MEET MONDAY
J. G. Barratt, Vice-Freslednt, Asks
Organization Representatives
to Help Set Local Plans.
Oregon Woolgrowers association
will hold their annual convention In
Heppner, Monday and Tuesday,
January 14 and 15, according to an
nouncement by Walter Holt of Pen
dleton, secretary. Though Hepp
ner was chosen as the meeting place
two months ago, the dates were just
made known this week.
Delay in setting the dates for the
convention in this state was made
to avoid conflict with conventions
in neighboring states, so as to make
it possible for national officers,
commission men and speakers to
be available at all the conventions.
The dates for the three states of
Oregon, Idaho and Washington
have now been set so as to make the
attendance of these men possible.
The Idaho convention will be held
just before the convention here, the
dates being Jan. 11-12, and the
Washington convention will take
place at Yakima immediately fol
lowing the Oregon meet, on Jan.
17-18.
J. G. Barratt, state association
vice-president, through whom
Holt's announcement was made, be
lieves the date schedule for the
northwest conventions will assure
the attendance of outstanding
speakers here, and from reports
gathered on his trips over the state
he is confident Heppner will draw
one of the largest attendances that
has been present at a state conven
tion in years. Because the meet is
state-wide in nature, it is bound to
draw Heppner into the spotlight for
the two days the convention is in
session, and it behooves the entire
community to lend its support tow
ard its successful entertainment.
The chance is offered to leave a fa
vorable impression on people from
many parts, not only in Oregon, but
iionx outside the state. "
That the facilities of the city may
be coordinated to the best possible
extent in staging the convention,
Mr. Barratt as local contact man
for the association, has asked for
representatives of all organizations
of the city to meet with him at the
Elks hall next Monday evening at
7:30 o'clock. At this meeting he
will outline what is usually done by
'immunities in providing facilities
and entertainment for the conven
tions, to show what will be needed
here, and to perfect, if possible, a
local organization to care for the
several details involved.
Among those who are expected to
attend the convention from outside
the state are Fred Ellenwood of
California, president, and Fred
Marshall of Washington, secretary,
of the National Woolgrowers asso
ciation. The annual convention for
the national association is slated to
be held at Phoenix, Ariz., the week
following the Oregon convention.
ATTEND FUNERAL.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Moyer were
called to Grandview, Wash., on
Monday to attend the funeral of
their nephew, Andrew Lewis Tuck
er, Jr., who died at the hospital in
Yakima on Friday, following an op
eration for the closing of a gun
shot wound. Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Turner took Mr. and Mrs. Moyer to
Grandview and also attended the
funeral as the parents, Mr. and Mrs.
A. L. Tucker, were neighbors of
theirs for several years. The lad
was 11 years of age and the acci
dent which ultimately caused his
death occurred a month ago when
he took his single shot .22 rifle out
to the edge of the lake near the
home to shoot ducks. The artery
near the collarbone was torn by
the bullet and this did not heal, the
lad finally bleeding to death. He
was born in this county and his par
ents lived here for a number of
years.

quality Oregon products which may
be purchased from them.
In addition to the specal advertis

of the Gazette Times, local stores
are flaunting the banners of the

of Oregon products.

At the festive board were told plans

ir i were to choose a text for
my talk this evening, I would turn
to that much read section of the
newspapers which reads "Men
Wanted'," said the council execu
tive in opening his a'ddress. He paid
tribute to the flower of American
manhood whose blood was shed In
the last great war, and whose mem
ory had so recently been honored
by the nation on Armistice day.
"The places left vacant by these
men have been filled by substitutes
who In many instances have fallen
far short" He recited the poet's
great poem, "God Give Us Men," in
preluding a discussion of the many
phases of Boy Scout work which
fit the boys of today to be the men,
of tomorrow.
"The Boy Scout gives his services
cheerfully, without hope for re
ward," said the speaker. Sworn
to do his best to lead a clean, moral
life, and to keep his mind and
body healthy and fit, the Boy Scout
is taught to be self-reliant, re
sourceful and honest, and to be of
service to others whenever and
wherever the occasion may arise.
The oy Scout manual, which has
had the greatest number of sales of
any book with the single exception
of the Holy Bible, encourages the
Boy Scout to have a practical know
ledge of all the arts, crafts and
sciences. It teaches him respect
for law, love of neglhbor, and every
