PAGE TWO HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY. JAN. 2, 1936 NEWS Governor Bluffs New Licenses Due Liquor Sales Large By A L. LIXDBECK Salem. Governor Martin's threat to move certain state departments to Portland because of lack of suit able office space in the capital city was doubtless inspired more by a desire to prod Salem building own ers out of their smug self-complacency than with any intent to act ually carry out his proposals. If so, it was not long in bringing results. Publication of the govern or's statement to the press was fol lowed by numerous offers of office space by owners ready and anxious to remodel to suit the demands of the tenant. The governor's proposal to move the motor transport division and other state activities to Portland was based on the difficulty experi enced by the transport division in finding suitable office space to ac commodate its proposed expansion. The fact of the matter is that even before the governor sounded off at least two building owners in down town Salem had offered to remodel vacant office rooms to suit the needs of this department. While these offices are not the most mod ern in the city they were regarded as entirely adequate in the emer gency by state officials who had in vestigated them. Demands for office space in down town Salem following the capitol fire of last April has filled every first class office building in the cap ital city and most of the second class buildings but there are still a number of buildings with space to rent and with owners ready to re model to accommodate the needs of the state. At the present time 13 state ac tivities are occupying rented quar ters, occupying more than 21,000 square feet of floor space for which the state is paying a rental of $1172 a month or more than $14,000 a year. More than 28,000 stockholders of the defunct Prudential Savings & Loan association received Christ mas gifts from the state corporation department in the form of a ten percent dividend, amounting in the aggregate to approximately $128, 000. Governor Martin this week an nounced the reappointment of Lew Wallace of Portland as a member of the state game commission. Somewhat surprising after Wal lace's recent insistence that he did not want the job back again and repeated denials by the executive department of rumors that the Portland democrat was slated for reinstatement on the commission from which he resigned in order to contest for his old seat in the House of Representatives. Approximately 300 needy teach ers will be given employment in the instruction of adult classes under a state-wide educational project sponsored by the Works Project administration according to C. A. Howard, superintendent of public instruction. Selection of the teach ers will be made by city and county school superintendents. In addition to the organization of adult classes In such courses as public speaking, parent education, commercial law, English, sewing, cooking, literature, and social problems, it is proposed to conduct 20 nursery schools for children from two to four years of age, each nursery giving employ ment to two teachers and a part time cook, Howard said. "Have you spent your million to day?" That, according to Brigadier General Thos. A. Rilea is the cus tomary salutation when friends meet on the street of the national capital these days. General Rilea returned this week from Washing ton where he appeared before the Congressional committee on appro priations in support of the national guard budget in his new capacity as president of the national guard association. Registered voters throughout Oregon will receive their copies of the official voters pamphlet within the next two weeks according to Secretary of State Snell. The pam phlet will contain the ballot titles to the four measures to be voted on at the special election together with arguments, pro and con, on the several measures. Approximately 400,000 of the pamphlets will be dis tributed. The first consignment went into the mails Friday and the work of mailing will proceed as fast as the pamphlets are delivered by tne state printer. Reports received here indicate that a suit may be brought to nulli fy the $10 license fee for "pick-up" trucks and panel delivery cars. The double license fee for this type of car was passed by the recent special session and has met with much complaint especially from farmers who use this type of car for haul ing supplies out from town. Motorists appearing in public with tne old 1335 license plates dis played will be required to show ev idence of having applied for the 1936 plates or explain to some con venient judge according to Chas. P. Pray, superintendent of state police. Pray calls attention to the attitude of his force last year in enforcing the automobile registra tion act and warns that he is not fooling. The state forestry department closed its twenty-fifth year of ser vice with the expiration of 1935. Organized In 1911 for the single pur pose of protecting the timbered areas of the state from Are the de partment long ago entered upon a much broader program of activities Including that of reforesting denud er areas. Prior to the creation of the forestry department It had been STATE CAPITAL the duty of the state game and for estry warden "to enforce the laws of the state for the protection of the forests." The legislature of 1907 created a forestry board with an appropriation of $250 with which to carry on a publicity campaign but it was not until 1911 that the legislature recognized the import ance of the lumber industry to the state and created a separate depart ment to take care of the interests of this industry. Hearings on the classification of approximately 50,000 acres of re forestation land in Polk, Deschutes, Columbia, Lincoln and Clatsop counties will be conducted by the forestry board on February 3, 4 and 5. All of the hearings will be held at the county seats of the several counties. The state liquor control commis sion which found its shelves loaded with a lot of unpaid-for stock when it took over the job a year ago re ported its business to be on a strict ly cash basis at the beginning of the new year. Estimating December sales at $750,000 sales of hard liquors through state stores and authorized agencies during the 1935 aggregat ed nearly $6,000,000 or approximate ly $6 for every resident of the state. Net profits of the commission for the year are estimated at approxi mately $1,980,000. Dr. H. W. Lytle, state veterinar ian, is out with his perennial an nouncement annent the come-back of the farm horse. Evidence of this fact, Lytle declares, is to be seen in every farming community. The come-back of the horse ( he insists, started with the depression when farmers found that it was cheaper to raise horse feed than to buy fuel oil for high priced tractors. Contributions to the Workmen's compensation fund during the last six months of 1935 exceeded $2, 000,000, a figure in excess of a full year's collections during the height of the depression, according to Al bert R. Hunter, chairman of the state industrial accident commis sion. PRESIDENT CITES LEAGUE AAA VIEWS (Continued on Pg-e Four) tries. High wages and high material costs in turn are the principal cause of freight rates immeasurably higher here than wheat growers of most producing countries pay. Higher wages and salaries and higher standards of living here make land taxes higher by far than in any other major wheat produc ing area. "Of the five principal items of ex pense in producing wheat, four are much higher here than in any com peting wheat growing country be cause of certain governmental ac tion directly or indirectly. "So here in the United States we have a very curious condition that is not in existence anywhere else in the world. We have a society with a general price structure jacked up by governmental pro tective means and held there by a combination of governmental mon opoly and corporate means. If the farm implement and machinery business, as an example, were or ganized as farming it, in six mil lion small one-man factories, when a depression occurred each of these men would work longer hours and would sell his labor cheaper and cheaper until a plow or grain drill would follow wheat downward in price. "But no such thing as this hap pened. Prices were maintained be cause, there being only a few fac tories, production could be and was controlled. The out-turn of imple merits and machinery was reduced approximately 80 percent and so a tremendous aggregation of labor was turned out into the streets and onto the highways of the country to be thrust upon relief rolls. In turn, labor usually needed in iron and steel mills and in transporta tion was laid off. Each man turned off added to the depression because he stopped buying and so forced other men out of work until the maximum of unemeployment and resultant distress was reached early in 1933. "Early in 1933 we succeeded in getting through congress the ad justment act, helped by a president to whom the plan had previously been sold. For the first time this gave us the opportunity to do in a small way what industry has always done adjust production to demand If anyone can point out to us how this may be accomplished without governmental help we would prefer to handle it that way. "Other arguments against the act are that it is wasteful and crimina to reduce production, that we are losing our foreign markets and being regimented and forced into the goose-step. These appear to us to be the silliest of all. Who Is there in this group of wheat grow era who feels that his liberty as been taken from him because he has voluntarily agreed with half a million other grain growers that he will grow upon the average, as nearly as may be, no more wheat than can be sold at home and abroad ? "The loss-of-foreign-market argu merit is made mostly by those who profit through export transactions, no matter what the price may be. So far as the sin of reducing pro duction is concerned, we will say tnat wnenever the factories, mills. newspaper, and railroads will op iate at run capacity amidst a de pression and will dispose of their products or services for less than half the cash cost of production, then will be also renounce the ad justment act. "In conclusion, it can well be said that we can get along all right .witnout governmental help or the use of governmental agencies and can produce to capacity and sell wheat in competition with Argen tina and Russia, if land taxes will be abolished, monopolies abolished, protective tariffs abandoned, labo unions smashed, restrictive Immi gration laws repealed and interest rates reduced to two percent." iiimiimmiiiiHHHiiHHwinintituHtt At Heppner CHURCHES CHURCH OF CHRIST.
