Capitols Displayed Governor's Preference Tax From Incomes By A.L LINDBECK made at the time the state levy j was made a year ago. Taxes so far novations total more than $2,300,000 and are expected to exceed J2,500,000 by the end of the year. Property owners will benefit by the increase in income tax payments through a reduction in the state levy against property. IIIIIHIMIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllll At Heppner CHURCHES Whom the Gods would destroy they first make mad. In the present instance the Gods were diseuised as the Republican members of the House. Whether thev had anvthine to do with stir ring up the strife in the ranks of the Democratic majority they cer tainly made the most of the oppor tunity to grab off the big end of the SDOlls. With the Democratic majority hopelessly split on the question of the Speakership the Republican minority steeped into the breach with offers of assistance for a con sideration. Earl Hill, of Lane coun ty, minority leader, it seems, went into a huddle with the small nana ful of Democrats of the House who refused to Dlav ball with their fel Jow Democrats who had some 21 votes on the dotted line in support of Howard Latourette for Speaker. Under the circumstances with the followers of Representative Gra ham refusing to go into a party caucus to settle on a speaker it became necessary for Latourette forces to look to some Republican support if they were to win and thev did. Sunday night's caucus at which Latourette was elected for the speakership by a 29-28 vote was one of the wierdest exhibitions of par liamentary maneuvering ever wit nessed at a legislative caucus in this state. Just what the Republi can support cost the Latourette forces may never be known but the fact remains that in the balloting for desk jobs that night the Repub licans came away with four of the best jobs in the House bag and several minor plums a most signi ficant situation in itself and one which became all the more signifi cant when it is coupled up with the fact that the republican functionar ies were elected by almost the same vote as was the Speaker. Another significant development in connection with the organization of the House on Monday wa3 the unseating of Representative Lew Wallace, a Democrat, in spite of the fact that the Democrats held a majoriay of four votes in the lower house. Rumors about the legisla tive lobby has it that the seating of Representative Farrell, a Re publican, was the price demanded by Hill in return for the republican support of Henry Semon, a Dem ocrat, who seems to have had the speakership "in the bag" except for the fact that someone forgot to sew up the bag and some of his support escaped just enough to cost him the honor. The contest between Ashby C. Dickson, democrat, and Nate Boo dy, republican, for the senate seat formerly held by Dickson, was de cided on strictly partisan terms. Boody was seated by a vote of 17 to 12, Senator Spaulding of Marion joining with the 11 democrats in support of Dickson with all of the other republicans "voting 'er" straight for Boody. Failure of the House to organize in time made it necessary to post pone the delivery of Governor Mar tin's message from Monday after noon until Tuesday morning. Senator Allen Bynon has announ ced his intention of sponsoring a bill relieving the counties of the burden of old age pensions and placing the entire burden on the state. He has already introduced a bill which would reduce the age of pensioners from 70 years to 65 years. In spite of the plea made by Governor Martin that the business of the session be confined to the capitol reconstruction program in dications are that there will be a veritable flood of bills introduced covering every subject Governor Martin wants the legis lature to confine its deliberations to a consideration of a new state cap itol, make the session as brief as possible and hold the expenses down to a minimum. He told the mem bers so in his message delivered to the House and Senate meeting in joint session in the Salem armory. Social security legislation and other problems, he declared, can wait for the next regular session which convenes in January, 1937. Endorsing the recommendations of his state planning board for a new capitol to cost approximately $3,500,000 the governor told the lawmakers that the state's share of this cost $1.925,000 can be fi nanced either through a direct ap propriation from the state's general fund spread over a period of three or more years, or from liquor profits. Declaring himself as "unalterably opposed to the erection of a capitol on the old, narrow and inadequate site," the governor told the legisla tors that additional land should be secured for the new capitol at this time. Six possible alternatives were suggested by the governor in his message: the campus of Willamette university; Candaleria Heights; Capitol hill, comprising nine resi dential blocks in south Salem; the Bush pasture, also in south Salem; expansion of the present site by the purchase of additional ground to the north, now covered by residences; expansion eastward, also by the purchase of residential property Of the six sites the governor Ta- vors the university campus because of its location in close proximity to other state buildings. This property can be had, he pointed out, for $850, 000, of which the city of Salem has tentatively agreed to provide $125, 000. As his second choice the gov ernor recommended purchase of the 96-acre Candaleria Heights tract south of Salem. The governor recommended the creation of a non-political capitol commission of five competent and outstanding citizens, to handle the details connected with the capitol construction program.

The courses prepared for these students number 4234 and covered 525 sub jects. Indicative of the far reach ing influence of this service the students were reached through 345 post offices in 35 counties. Governor Martin, State Treasurer Holman and the board of control are moving into their new quarters on the fourth floor of the state of fice building this week. The former quarters of the bonus commission have been completely remodeled for the new tenants and will give much greater convenience both from the standpoint of the officials them selves and the visiting public, than did the temporary quarters in the supreme court building. The 1935 state fair returned a profit of approximately $16,000 over current expenses, according to Sol on T. White, director of agricul ture. Most of this profit has gone to paying bond principal and inter est on the grand stand building and to making temporary repairs on other buildings on the ground. Salem. Capitols to the right of them, capitols to the left of them, That's what confronted the Oregon legislators as they assembled here Monday morning to open their spec ial session. A pictorial display of every capitol building in the Uni ted States together with informa tion as to its cost, size, date of com pletion and the size of the site on which it is located. The display was prepared by Miss Harriet C. Long, state librarian, In an effort to assist the legislators in their task of planning for a new state house for Oregon. All of the state capitols are shown from the humble little two story structure at Carson City, Ne vada, occupying a single acre of ground to that last word in modern capitol architecture, the skyscraper capitol of Nebraska at Lincoln cov ering four city blocks and costing $9,500,000. The pictorial display reveals the fact that 40 of the 48 state capitols are surmounted by a dome and that for the most part the struct ures are of the conventional type with wings and pillars. Most of the domeless capitols are of com paratively recent construction, In cluding those of Nebraska, Louisia na, North Dakota and Oklahoma. Information carried by the dis play reveals the fact that only eight state capitols occupy sites as small as that provided by Oregon. These are Florida with 3.67 acres; Geor gia. 4.5 acres; Idaho, 3.46 acres Maryland, 4.8 acres; Nevada, 1 acre Tennessee, o acres; New Hamp shire. 3 acres, and Wyoming, - acres. Contrasted with these are the more spacious sites such as that of North Dakota which has 160 acres; Iowa with 93 acres and Okla homa with 77 acres.

Corn-Hog Growers Cast Votes Saturday, Oct. 26 By their votes on Saturday, Oc tober 26, hog producers of Oregon and all other states will reveal to national officials of the AAA wheth er or not there is enough Interest and demand for a 1936 corn-hog program to justify the adjustment administration in offering such a program. Such is the word sent out to extension officials in Oregon and elsewhere by Claude R. Wick ard, chief of the AAA corn-hog sec tion. Every county in Oregon in which a corn-hog control association was formed has provided a polling place which will be open all day Saturday from' 8 o'clock in the morping to 10 o'clock at night In Morrow county the polling place is the county agent's office in Heppner. All operators and owners of farms which produced corn or hogs in 1935 may vote in the nationwide referendum, whether they signed 1934 or 1935 contracts or not, the local corn-hog committee announc es. Each eligible person is entitled to only one vote regardless of the size of his operations, the number of farms handled or their location. Printed ballots have been distri buted and these are to be deposited personally when possible, though sealed mail ballots with the voter's signature on the outside of the envelope will be accepted where the grower connot cast his ballot in person. In voting a grower merely votes yes or no on the question whether any corn-hog program should be offered for 1936. It is not a vote on a particular plan, nor does one's vote bind him -to sign or not to sign in case a program is developed. The referendum Is the second step by Washington officials In de ciding on the future of the corn hog adjustment The first was the national hearing at Washington las month at which farm leaders urged a new program which would allow for expansion next year of hog pro duction while holding a check on corn production. The farm representatives argued that the stage is set perfectly now for a serious over-production of corn because of the drouth-reduced livestock herds. This, according to past experience, will be followed by too many hogs raised in 1937 on cheap corn, bringing a return of 3-cent hog prices in 1933. Packers on uie omer nana, arguea againsi continuance of any further control program, saying it would be against the best Interests of both producers and consumers.
