Six Weeks to File.
Pension Fund.
TB Elimination.
By A. L. LXNDBECK
Salem, Ore. Early signs point to
a bumper crop of primary candi
dates. With nearly six weeks re
maining in which to file for a place
on the May ballot volunteers for
public service are springing up
with a profusion reminiscent of
dandelions on a neglected lawn.
Indications are that Chas. L.
McNary, republican, will have com
petition within his own party for
the senatorial nomination to which
W. E. Burke, state senator from
Yamhill county, is said to aspire.
Willis Mahoney, fiery mayor of Kla
math Falls will probably have a
clear field for the democratic nom
ination. In the first Oregon district Sam
Brown, the Gervais farmer, and
Walter Norblad, youthful Clatsop
county legislator, both admit that
they are giving serious considera
tion to suggestions that they enter
the lists against James W. Mott,
incumbent, for the republican nom
ination for Congress. No demo
crats have as yet definitely announ
ced as candidates for this office but
many are being mentioned includ
ing Walter Fisher of Roseburg, a
veteran state legislator; Earl A.
Nott of McMinnville, district attor
ney of Yamhill county, and W. A.
Delzell of Salem, the democratic
nominee of four years ago.
Walter M. Pierce of La Grande
already has competition for the
democratic nomination for Con
gress in the second Oregon district
in the person of V. S. Howard of
Madras who has already filed his
formal declaration with the secre
tary of state. On the republican
side of the political fence there will
also be at least two contenders for
Congressional honors. Clarence B.
Phillips of Burns is already in the
race and C. D. Nickelsen of Hood
River has let is be known that he
expects to enter. All four of these
candidates are supporters of the
Townsend old age pension plan.
Congressional candidacies in the
third district are not so far ad
vanced as in the other two districts.
William A. EkwalL, incumbent, will
try for a come-back but is expected
to have competition for the repub
lican nomination by some Town
send candidate. Elton Watkins who
had a brief taste of life at Wash
ington, D. C, some ten years ago
is understood to aspire to Ekwalls
seat and will probably seek the
Democratic nomination.
Oregon's formal request for a
share of Uncle Sam's old age pen
sion fund will be in the hands of
the National Security board within
the week. This will put the state's
old age pension set-up squarely
before the federal board for accep
tance or rejection. Opinion here is
fairly evenly divided as to the out
come. Many believe the board will
overlook the discrepancies in the
Oregon act, permitting this state
to participate in the federal appro
priation for assistance of the needy
aged on a 50-50 basis. Otherfe are
not as optimistic and fear that
nothing short of additional legisla
tive action to correct the pension
act can satisfy the requirements of
the federal act
Carl F. Gould, consulting archi
tect employed by the capitol recon
struction commission, expects the
new state house to be completed
and ready for occupancy by April,
1938. Interest in the new building
is widespread, inquiries having
been received from more than 50
architects in all sections of the
nation.
Governor Martin frowns on the
proposal of the city of Salem to
turn Willson park over to the state
for capitol purposes. The governo.
scents a plot to thwart the will of
the legislators as outlined in the
capitol bill limiting the new state
house to the old site.
Securities in which funds of the
World War Veterans State Aid
commission hsa invested its sinking
fund have increased in value by
approximately $230,000 since the
dark days of 1932 according to
State Treasurer Holman. Audit
ors advised the commission to dis
pose of the securities four years
ago and take their loss, amounting
at that time to approximately $200,
000. The sale was opposed by Hol
man and Jerrold Owen, secretary
of the commission.
Tuberculosis, the white plague,
can be entirely eliminated, in the
opinion of Dr. G. C. Bellinger, su
perintendent of the state tubercu
losis hospital.
Two things are needed to attain
this end, Bellinger points out in a
report to State Treasurer ugus C.
Holman, member of the state board
of control. One of these involves
increased field work in the pre
vention of tuberculosis and the
home care of tuberculosis patients
both before and after hospitaliza
tion. The other is increased hos
pital facilities so that all patients
requiring attention might be ad
mitted at once and long waiting
lists eliminated.
Ballinger recommends the ex-
penditure of between $500,000 and
$600,000 on new hospital facilities
in this state as follows:
A childrens unit of 50 beds at
the Salem institution to cost be
tween $50,000 and $75,000;
Another 50-bed hospital unit at
the Salem institution to cost ap
proximately $125,000;
Addition of 50 beds to the east
ern Oregon hospital at The Dalles
at a cost of between $100,000 and
$150,000;
Construction of a 60-bed tuber
culosis unit in connection with the
medical center at Portland at a
cost of between $175,006 and $240,
000. Bellnger'i recommendations will
probably be placed before the next
state legislature for consideration.
A total of 216 drunken drivers
had their automobile operators' li
censes revoked in the seven month
period between July 1. last, and
February 1, according to Secretary
of State Snell.
Intended as a concession to small
farm and home owners a proposed
constitutional amendment snnnsnr.
ed by 20 members of Portland post,
Veterans of Foreign Wars, would
limit taxes on property up to an
assessed valuation of $2500 to $10 a
year. The preliminary petition was
filed with the state department
this week and Detitions will hp
placed in circulation for signatures
as soon as the ballot title is pre
pared, ii tne necessary 16,371 sig
natures are secured bv Julv 1 th
measure will be on the ballot next
fall for action by the voters.
Every rural school in the state
will be visited by a deputy state
fire marshal in a state-wide home
fire prevention ramnflitrn inct
launched by Hugh H. Earle, state
nre marshal, asd C. A. Howard,
superintendent of public instruc
tion, a ire drills will be held, illus
trated lectures delivered to empha
size common home fire hazards and
children will be urged to inspect
their own homes for fire dangers.
Income tax payers are being
urged by the state tax commission
to file their returns early and avoid
the last minute rush. Last year,
the commission points out, more
than 3000 persons filed their re
turns on the final day in the Port
land office alone, many of these
standing in line for hours waiting
to be served. As an accommoda
tion to taxpayers in other sections
of the state a representative of the
commission will visit every large
city between now and April 1 to
assist those who need help in mak
ing out their returns.
Orville S. Gamble, superintend
ent of the state school for adult
blind in Portland was pvnnnrgtnH nf
charges of extravagance and insub-
uruinaiion at a nearing before the
board of control last week. Threp
members of the blind school ad

"WE WELCOME ALL"
Two Pet. of People Don't
Own 80 Pet. of the Wealth
Washington. Henry Ford thinks
he seldom speaks.
Sitting at his right hand is W. J.
Cameron, accepted generally as Mr.
Ford's spokesman. When Mr. Cam
eron speaks, under the sponsorship
of his chief, it is assumed that the
words of Cameron reflect the thots
and ideas of Mr. Ford.
In a recent broadcast Mr. Camer
on tore to shreds the argument fre
quently advanced during the past
two years by New Deal spokesmen
whose aim has been to array "those
who have not" against "those who
have." Directing his remarks to
the now familiar charge that "two
per cent of the people own 80 per
cent of the wealth," Mr. Cameron
asked:
"Who owns the United States?"
Answering his own question, in
his own way, he continued:
"Who owns the homes and farms
and personal property, the stores
and factories, the money stock and
the debts of the United States?
Use 1929 or 1933 statistics, it does
n't matter. There are the same
number of homes and farms and
productive facilities and people, the
same amount of land, whether the
national wealth is 460 billion dol
lars, the estimate for 1929, or 220
billions, the estimate for 1933. Who
gets the income of the United
States? Who controls the produc
tive and distributive process? To
night we deal with ownership.
"In 1929 the largest single block
of wealth, 22 per ccst of the whole
was, dwellings, the homes of the
people, valued at 102 billion dol
lars. Who owns them? Next In
volume of wealth were the farms
at 58 billion dollars, or 12 per cent
of the whole. Who owns those
farms? Next comes personal pro
pertyclothing, household furnish
ings, jewelry, automobiles am
ounting to 49 1-2 billion dollars, or
11 1-2 per cent of the national
wealth. All of us recognize that
ownership of these is almost en
tirely with individuals.
"Of the 25 million houses and lots
in this country, 17 million are owned
by their occupants, most of the
others are the small investments of
the same individuals. In cities, 70
per cent of this property is free of
mortgage, and banks hold only one
fifth of such mortgages as exist.
Of the 6 million farms, 3 1-2 million
are owned by the men who operate
them, and 600,000 of these owners
rented additional land. Almost two
thirds of our crop land is owned by
the farmers who harvest it.
"In 1930 the mortgaged farms
were worth 21 billion dollars and
the mortgages less than 7 billion
dollars. About 30 per cent of the
farm mortgage claim was held by
farmers themselves, active and re
tired; 32 per cent by farmers' local
financial institutions and Insurance
companies and 19 per cent by gov
ernment agencies. The farmers'
debt in 1933 was in better shape
than the government or corpora
tion debt.
"Again: Personal property of
nearly 50 billion dollars' value is
almost completely owned by its us
ers. Take the 25,000,000 automo
biles for example. About 38 per
cent of them are paid for when
bought; 96 1-2 per cent of install
ment purchases result in full own
ership. From facts like these it is
impossible to create a creditor
class lording it over a debtor class.
"Add to these the 2 per cent of
the national wealth represented by
a million and a half retail stores
nine-tenths of the stores are little
stores, the property or business or
both of individuals. Add another
5 per cent for local business build
ingsoffices, warehouses, repair
shops, clubs and you have ac
counted for over 50 per cent of the
national wealth. Add to this the
wealth we own collectively, the
churches, schools, colleges, librar
ies, museums, parks, government
property, and it grows to 58 per
cent.
"Then we come to what is called
corporate wealth. Take public util
ities and transportation; together
they account for 14 per cent of the
wealth, normally 63 billion dollars.
Their ownership is distributed am
ong 12 million people 45 per cent
of them women so widely dsitri
buted that government has based
a policy on that fact. Manufactur
ing constitutes 9 per cent of the
nation's wealth, or 42 1-2 billion
dollars. It consists normally of
.iuu.uuu tactories with their equip
ment. Most of the factories are
small places owned by one or sev
eral persons; 145,000 factories, or
72 1-2 per cent, produce each less
than $100,000 worth of goods a year.
The rest are the big industries."
