PAGE F6UR HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JAN. 16, 1936. STATE CAPITAL NEWS Martin's First Year Oregon Fifth Single Building Plan By A. L. LINDBECK Salem. Governor Charles H. Martin entered upon the second year of his administration Tuesday. In a brief review of his first year in office the governor enumerated as the outstanding accomplishments of his administration to date "an improved morale among our peo ple," and a greater respect for law and order as a result of his stand In the lumber strike of last sum mer and his attitude toward par dona and paroles. In this connec tion, the governor pointed out that he had issued only four pardons during the year, all conditional, while only 56 prisoners have been released on paroles out of 227 who were eligible for release. The state planning board was cit ed by the governor as one of the state's most valuable functions. This board was created by the 1935 reg- ular session at the request of the governor. The most important problem be fore the people of Oregon at this time in the opinion of the governor is the development of the state and its natural resources. "More business and less politics, is going to be my slogan for the re mainder of my administration," he declared. Recalling the fact that he had gone through the experience of a special session in addition to the regular one, and a disastrous fire which destroyed the capitol build ing, while the threat of a recall had hung over his head for several months, the governor admitted that his first year in office had been a most strenuous one. "But I have enjoyed every min ute of it, he hastened to add. A report received by the state tax commission from the federal census bureau shows that Oregon ranks fifth from the top in the per centage of unpaid taxes, with Wash ington in seventh place and Idaho in eighth. The high percentage of tax delinquency in the three Pacific northwest states is accounted for by the tax commissioners as due to inability of timber owners to pay their levies. Only Michigan, North Dakota, Illinois and Florida had a higher percentage of unpaid taxes than did Oregon according to the report of the census bureau. Ben Dorris of Eugene stopped over in Salem long enough this week to confirm reports to the ef feet that he is a candidate for Re publican national committeeman from Oregon. Dorris hopes to sue' ceed the veteran Ralph Williams, vice-chairman of the national com mittee, who has announced his in tention of retiring after 25 years of service on the national republican organization. A. M. Dalrymple of Salem and Howard Latourette of Portland as pire to succeed Walter M. Pierce as the Democratic national commit teeman from Oregon. Dalrymple was warden of the state prison un der the Pierce administration and Latourette was speaker of the House of Representatives at the recent special session of the legis lature. Prom Portland come reports that C. M. Thomas, former utilities com missioner, is being groomed as a , candidate for the Republican nom ination for United States senator against Senator Charles L. McNary who will be a candidate to succeed himself. Thomas, so the report goes, will depend largely upon sup port from the Townsend movement in his efforts to unseat Oregon's senior senator. The grooming of Thomas, it is understood, is being supervised by Henry Hanzen, for mer state budget director. Seeking the Democratic nomin ation for United States Senator will be Willis Mahoney, Klamath Falls mayor, who has also been playing strongly to the Townsend galleries 'in his search for political support Mahoney, however, does not appeal strongly to the regulars in the Democratic camp who have not yet forgotten his desertion to the republican camp following his defeat in the last gubernatorial pri mary. Rufus C. Holman, state treasurer, reports the recovery of $1914 in traffic fines due the state from jus tice courts through the activities of a field auditor recently employed to check up on this item. Between 200,000 and 250,000 men and women employed In 18,000 Ore gon industries will come under the ment compensation act, it is esti provisions of the new unemploy mated by T. Morris Dunne of the industrial accident commission, who has been making a careful study of this phase of the social se curity problem. The $2,500,000 expenditure auth orized by the special session will be used in the construction of a single building of approximately the same outside dimensions as the old state house. This was decided at a meeting of the capitol reconstruc tion commission here this week. Tentative plans call for accommo dations for the legislative cham bers, the executive department, sec retary of state, state treasurer, board of control and a few other state departments In the new build ing. Exact location of the new build ing may require a court interpre tation of the capitol reconstruction act Carl F. Gould, the commis sion's technical advisor, wants to construct the new capitol on the axis or Summer street which would necessitate encroachment upon Willson park which the city of Sa lem hat offered to tuin over to the state for capitol purposes. The leg islative act, however, locates the new building on land "now owned by the state" which, in the opinion of some attorneys limits the loca tion strictly to the old site and pre cludes any encroachment upon the park property which adjoins the capitol site on the west Selection of the capitol architect will be made through a nation-wide contest which is expected- to attract many of the best architects of the country. Tourist traffic in Oregon durine 1935 was the heaviest since 1929 ac cording to Secretary of State Snell. Records for the year show that 100, 303 foreign cars registered in the state during the 12 month period, an increase of more than 8000 over the 1934 record but short of the 1929 all-time high record by ap proximately 3000 cars. Registration or roreign cars which show a grad ual slump following 1929 reached the bottom in 1933 with 82,526 cars, since which time there has been a gradual increase in the number of out-of-state visitors. The state still owes $118,534 on the state office building which was financed through a loan from the industrial accident commission which is being paid off at the rate of $30,000 a year. Rentals paid by self-supporting departments in the building provide funds for amortiz ing the loan which will be paid off by January 1, 1941. State police arrested 672 motorists for traffic law violations during December, according to the month ly report of Superintendent Chas. P. Pray. Warning slips were issued to 9361 other motorists detected in minor traffic law violations. IlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllUIIII At Heppner CHURCHES Pendleton Credit Assn.

Favoring compulsory arbitration of labor disputes. Favoring a requirement that la bor organizations be made legally responsible. Tax Pressure Causes Unsound Forest Depletion Pressure for rapid timber liqui dation in Oregon and Washington is vividly brought out by a recent tax survey conducted by Sinclair Wilson, senior economist in the Pa cific Northwest forest experiment station, Portland, according to the U. S. forest service. The study shows that the annual property taxes on timber and for est land in Oregon total approxi mately $1.47 per thousand board feet on the present lumber pro duction in Oregon. The Washing ton timber and forest land tax ap proximates 80 cents per thousand board feet on lumber produced In that state. The computation does not include taxes on logs, logging equipment, logging railroads, camp buildings, and manufacturing plants. The figures are arrived at by dividing the estimated total an nual tax levied on standing timber and forest land in each state by the total lumber, pulpwood, shingles, poles and piling produced for that year. The extensive uncut timber stands of Oregon compared with a lower annual lumber production than that of Washington accounts for the more unfavorable tax position of Oregon timber, Wilson shows. The pressure for immediate liaui dation of timber holdings in both states is further shown by tax fig ure compilations for various coun ties. In Clatsop county, Oregon, Wilson points out that from an av erage of $2.48 for 58 cases studied the annual tax ranges to as high as il.zi per acre or 13 cents per thous and feet on standing timber. In 09 cases in Grays Harbor countv, wasnington, the tax averages $4.21 per acre on timbered stands and runs to an extreme of $10.81, which is the equivalent of 18 cents per thousand board feet on a stand of 60,000 feet to the acre. In 54 cases in Tillamook county, Oregon, the annual tax averages 3.7 cents per inousana boara feet but ranged to a nign or cents. Foresters point out that heavy carrying charges on standing tim ber, of which taxes are an import ant Item, are inimical to the con servative management of forests. The desire to escape these carry ing charges Induces a pressure to liquidate, which is demoralizing to the timber market and leads to wasteful exploitation. Liquidation of timber supplies without provi sion for restoring the forest capital inevitaDiy passes a heavier tax bur den to other taxable property, which wouia not be the case if sustained yield timber management were practiced. Remedies for this situation, ac cording to forest officials, lie in valuing and taxing forest properties in Keeping with their deferred in come nature, and thrift in expen ditures by local government. It is pointed out also that attempts at establishing scattered agricultural developments in forest areas whpre farming values cannot carry the cost of public service required, such as schools and roads, throw an ad ditional tax burden on the forest lands and other property. AAA Market Agreements Not Voided by Decision While the decision of the Su preme Court in the Hoosac Mills case served to invalidate many im portant features of the Agricultural Adjustment act, it did not invali date the entire act, vital parts of which still remain In effect, accord ing to information received from Washington by the Oregon State college extension service officials. The elimination of the crop con trol programs, however, served to halt at once all field work in con nection with these. As a conse quence the O. S. C. extension ser vice, on orders from Washington, cancelled all of the remaining corn hog and potato control meetings that had been scheduled through out the state. The exact status of the contracts or applications for contracts where compliance had already been made has not yet been clarified, but there appears to be general agreement that the government has a moral obligation to pay all contract sign ers or applicants for compliance already accomplished. Positive statements that this would be done were Issued by the AAA following the adverse decision by the Su preme Court in the Hoosac Mills case. The marketing agreement order and license provisions of the AAA have not been Invalidated by the Supreme Court decision, In the op inion of the department of agricul ture. This portion of the law was not before the Supreme Court and hence all marketing agreements and licenses now in effect will con tinue in operation. In addition the process of substituting agreements and orders under the AAA amend ments of last August have been under way and will be continued, the administration officials an nounce. Some question arose on the Pa cific coast as to the status of the much discussed walnut marketing agreement. It is definitely an nounced by the department of ag riculture that It is in effect and its validity has not been changed by the Supreme Court decision. There are In effect under the original ag- Drills Well for Irrigation Albany The first deep well to be dug In Linn county for irrigation purposes will be that on the farm of E. R.

McMullen, county agent. ricultural adjustment act marketing agreements and licenses or licenses alone for 28 fluid milk marketing areas. Another important section of the original act that was not touched by Supreme Court decision is the part which created the unified Farm Credit administration. So far Its constitutionality has never been questioned. Oregon Growers Qualify Certified Berry Plants More Oregon strawberry growers than ever before are prepared to supply certified disease-free straw berry plants this spring, according to a list recently compiled by O. T. McWhorter, extension horticultur ist, and S. M. Zeller, plant patholo gist at O. S. C. Eight growers in the state have qualified plants of the Marshall va riety for certification, two the Cor vallis variety, and one each the Red Heart and Adkins varieties. In ad dition, two growers qualified with plantings classed as "selected grade," where only a small percent age of removable plants were af fected with crinkle. "Plants sold under the blue cer tification tag issued by the O. S. C. extension service, have been found on inspection during the growing season to have not more than a trace of crinkle or other serious disease and to be free of the straw berry mite," says Dr. Zeller. "The tags do not constitute a state guar antee if results, but should not be confused with mere inspections re- quired by law." Certified growers for the past years are located at Myrtle Creek, Boring, Sherwood, Canby, Banks, Albany, Hillsboro, Eugene and Parkdale. County agents are ready to assist those interested in gettng in touch with these pioneers In the plant certification movement. Dallas Several Polk county far mers, accompanied by County Ag ent J. R. Beck, visited the Western Malting company plant at Vancou ver, Wn., recently to make a first hand study of the methods of malt ing barley and the requirements of plants of this type. Their findings are for use at the Polk county farm outlook conference. NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING.
