State, District Offices
Wallace D. Wharton
State Monies
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem With the special election
now a matter of history and a pri
mary election coming up in May
thoughts of the politically minded
naturally turn to thought of pub
lic office and the 116 state and fed
eral jobs for which the two major
parties will be selecting their can
didates. Included in the list is one
United States senatorship, three
members of Congress, three su
preme court justices, a state treas
urer, an attorney general, six cir
cuit judges, 25 district attorneys,
60 state representatives and 16 state
senators.
In the United States senate the
term of Chas. L. McNary, republi
can, expires with the current year.
Congressmen being elected for only
two year terms seats of all mem
bers of the House will be open to
contest. Rufus C. Holman, state
treasurer, and I. H, Van Winkle,
attorney general, are completing
four year terms. "Both are repub
licans and both are candidates to
succeed themselves. On the su
preme court bench the terms of
Harry H. Belt, J. U. Campbell and
Percy R, Kelly expire this year. On
the circuit bench judges whose
terms are expiring include L. H.
McMahan of the third district,
comprising Marion and Linn coun
ties; John P. Winter and Clarence
H. Gilbert of the fourth district
comprising Multnomah county;
Fred H. Wilson of the seventh dis
trict comprising Hood River and
Wasco counties; C. H. McColloch
of the eighth district comprising
Baker county; and Chas. W. Ellis
of the ninth district comprising
Grant, Harney and- Malheur coun
ties. Twenty-five of the states' 36
counties will ballot on district at
torneys. The 11 counties in which
this office is a hold-over include
Benton, Curry, Gilliam, Jefferson,
Klamath, Lake, Linn, Malheur,
Multnomah, Polk and Wallowa.
Candidates will be nominated for
all 60 of the seats in the Hall of
Representatives of the state legis
lature and for 16 seats in the state
senate. The extra vacancy in the
senate occurs through the resigna
tion of Jack E. Allen of Umatilla
county following adjournment of
the 1935 regular session. J. G. Bar
ratt who was named to succeed Al
len serves only until next January
and his successor will be elected
for only a two year term. Other
senatorial districts in which va
cancies will occur this year include
Douglas county; Josephine; Coos
Curry; Washington; Clackamas;
Multnomah (4) ; Hood River-Wasco;
Crook - Deschutes - Jefferson -Klamath
- Lake; Gilliam - Sherman
Wheeler; Union-Wallowa; Grant
Harney - Malheur; Lincoln - Tilla
mook. Both the Democrats and Repub
licans will also elect a national
committeeman, a national commit
tee woman, ten delegates to the
national conventions and 1630 pre
cinct committeemen.
Wallace S. Wharton, Portland
newspaper man, took over his new
job as executive secretary to the
governor Saturday. No announce
ment has yet been made as to the
nature of his duties except that he
will succeed D. O. Hood as director
of the budget If Wharton's duties
are to be confined to the budget
department the purpose of the leg
islative act creating the new post
will be effectively defeated. Spon
sors of this measure were interested
primarily in supplanting W. L.
Gosslin, the governor's private
secretary, in his capacity as po
litical advisor to the governor with
a man of more mature political ex
perience. Rumor has it that even
tually Gosslin who has been blamed
for most of the faux pas of the
present administration, will be
transferred to another and more
lucrative post and the combined
secretarial duties shouldered upon
Wharton.
Governor Martin and State
Treasurer Holman do not agree as
to the status of state funds. A short
time ago Holman announced that
the, state had $11,500,000 of idle
funds on which the banks refused
to pay any interest. The announce
ment is said to have brought a
deluge of crank letters to both the
treasury and executive departments
with innumerable suggestions for
profitable use of the funds, ranging
from financing of old age pensions
to relief of hard pressed individual
tax payers. This week the govern
or issued a statement in which he
branded the statement of the treas
urer as "nonsense" pointing out
that all of the funds were ear
marked for specific purposes with
a deficit of more than $1,000,000 in
the general fund.
Filing of the referendum against
senate bill 43 of the special session
may have thrown a monkey wrench
into the Btate's old age pension ma
chinery, in the opinion of many
legal and tax experts.
Under the old age pension act as
amended by this bill all of the re
quirements of the federal govern
ment were met except that of pro
viding utate funds for matching
Uncle Kam'g contribution and many
attorney were of the opinion that
that feature could have been taken
care of by a court action to set
aside the "diversion" section of the
amended act, releasing the $1,000,
000 which the legislature attempted
to divert to general relief purposes.
The referendum filed by the Ore
gon Old Age Defense league con
tinues in effect the act of the 1935
regular session. This appropriates
$1,000,000 for pensions and fixes the
age minimum at 70 years but con
tains a number of provisions which
conflict with the federal act, such
as that of county residence qualifi
cations. State officials are hopeful
that the National Security Board
will be willing to overlook these
minor conflicts in the state act and
that Oregon may yei be able to
qualify for participation in federal
funds for the needy aged.
"
Forest fires in Oregon during
1935 burned over an area of 74.356
acres, resulting in a loss aggre
gating $201,630, according to a re
port by J. W. Ferguson, state for
ester. Lightnng started 348 of the
fires but man was responsible for
most of them. Incendiarists are
charged with 287 of the year's fires,
careless smokers started 371 and
campers were responsible for 123.
Some political prognosticators
around the state house are willing
to risk their reputations on a pre
diction that the legislature will be
called into special session again
soon in spite of Governor Martin's
repeated insistence that he would
not convene the lawmakers again.
These prophets base their predic
tions on the need for further legis
lative action to put Oregon in line
for federal funds for old age pen
sions. More than 9500 motorists ran
afoul the long arm of the law in
Oregon during December, accord
ing to the monthly report of Chas.
P. Pray, superintendent of state po
lice. Only 590 of these, however,
were given arrest slips. The other
8986 escaped with warnings and ad
monitions to go and sin no more.
James H. Hazlett, state senator
from Hood River and Wasco coun
ties, is understood to be flirting
with the notion of entering the po
litical arena as a candidate for at
torney general. Hazlett is a dem
ocrat Senator James T. Chinnock
of Grants Pass who had been con
sidering a try for the republican
nomination lor this once is now
understood to have abandoned the
idea and will probably seek a re
turn to the senate.
Millions in idle funds drawing no
interest but not one cent to invest
in county warrants. That was the
answer of the state bond commis
sion to the request of Elmer Goudy
state relief administrator, that state
funds be used in taking up county
warrants in order to eliminate dis
counts on relief warrants. Gov
ernor Martin and T. Morris Dunne,
member of the accident commis
sion, both opposed the proposal
which had the approval of State
Treasurer Holman.
State salary increases aggregat
ing $285 a month for 15 employees
of the public utilities department
have been filed pending action by
the board of control. The increases
were sent through with the ap
proval of Carl Cover, assistant
budget director, and Dan Fry, sec
retary to the board of control, but
were held up when it developed
that the board had not passed upon
the new pay schedule.
Jack E. Allen, former liquor ad
ministrator, expects to become a
candidate for the state legislature
but has not decided whether to try
for the House or Senate, he said
while on a visit to Salem this week.

Although Americans oppose the

an undeniable connection between
the two. The destiny of the state
depends on the spiritual health of
those who compose it. We are in
terested in the great future which
this nation may have. The best
way to insure such a prospect is to
develop it spiritually, for Christ's
way is the only practical means of
preserving and promoting the wel
fare of humanity. Any other foun
