The Political Week
Valuations Decrease
Morrow Saved $5000
By A. L. LIKDBECK
SALEM. Governor-elect Martin
returned from his two weeks' vaca
tion Friday with the announcement
that he was not contemplating any
wholesale housecleaning in the
state organization when he takes
over his new duties next month,
then retired to the seclusion of his
Portland office to devote himself to
the task of preparing his first mes
sage to the Oregon lawmakers.
Consideration of patronage, the
governor-elect declared, must await
the completion of his message, the
contents of which will not be re
vealed until it is read to the legis
lature meeting in joint session on
January 14, if organization of the
two branches is completed on the
opening day.
That, except for an emphatic de
nial of the rumor that Henry Han
zen, state budget director, has been
asked to remain on the job until af
ter the legislature adjourns, con
stitutes the sum and substance of
Martin's contribution to the polit
ical developments of the past week.
Earl SneU, secretary of state-elect
proceeded to knock the fcrops from
under the political prognosticators
and to set at rest rumors about his
choice for the chief deputyship in
the state department with an an
nouncement from his Arlington
home to the effect that George
Flagg, former The Dalles newspa
perman, would be retained n that
capacity. Flagg came to Salem as
deputy secretary of state when P.
J. Staledman of The Dalles took
over the secretaryship a year ago.
While it was pretty well understood
around the capitol that Flagg was
to be retained by SneU in the event
of his election rumors persisted to
the effect that Elbert Bede of Cot
tage Grove and Dr. P. O. Riley of
Hubbard were both being consider
ed as successors to Flagg as No. 2
man in the state department.
While further developments in the
senate organization still await the
return of Harry Corbett from his
eastern trip John Cooter, Lincoln
county representative, as the unan
imous choice of his House colleag
ues for the Speakership, is already
busy at work on plans for organiza
tion of that branch of the legisla
ture. Lack of experienced material
from which to pick his committee
leaders is bound to prove a serious
handicap to the smooth operation
of the House machine at least un
til the newness begins to wear off
and the new members get some idea
what it is all about With 39 stand
ing committees to fill Cooter has
only 14 members with any legisla
tive experience at all, on which to
build his organization and only five
of these "veterans," some with only
one session to their credit, have
ever functioned as committee chair
men. While in Salem this week Cooter
made it known that he was urging
the retention of Fred Drager, vet
eran chief clerk of the House, since
this job is the key to the entire
House organization and Drager's
experience will be invaluable in put
ting the House through its legisla
tive paces. Except for this post
Cooter said that he was taking no
hand in the selection of other House
employees. With 38 Democrats in
the House and that party dominat
ing the situation for the first time
in more than half a century it is
only natural that the members of
that party should insist upon a
chance to sit in the seats of the
mighty. However, the old employ
ees do not propose to relinquish
their jobs without a struggle. With
22 republican members as a nu
cleus, all said to be pledged to sup
port the old House employees, these
are now out on a still hunt for the
necessary nine Democratic votes to
insure their selection. Joe Singer,
veteran sergeant-at-arms, and Rol
la Southwick, veteran door keeper
in the House, both insist that they
already have enough votes pledged
to insure their jobs for the next
session but these claims are dis
counted by democratic aspirants
lor these jobs.
sion will remain at approximately
the same level as those of the 1933
session is not only intended to cover
all needs for current expenses of
the state government and its many
ramifications but also to entirely
wipe out the general fund deficit
which now amounts to $1,30430.31.
Except for 1932, when the entire
state levy was waived resulting in
an increase of $1,500,000 in the state
deficit, the 1935 levy is the lowest
made against property for state
purposes since 1919, members of the
tax commission point out
