Congressional Chatter
Ruhl Appointment

Ey A. L. LXNDBECK
SALEM. The biggest surprise to
date in the present political cam
paign was the announcement this
week by Earl Hill, state represen
tative from Lane county, that he
would not be a candidate for re
election. No satisfactory explana
tion has yet been, forthcoming for
Hill's decision. One of the few
veterans of the House and out
standing as a leader in past ses
sions Hill was generally conceded
to have a decided advantage in the
race for the speakership at the next
session in the event the republicans
again dominate the organization at
that time.
Candidates for Congressional
honors as well as the electorate
generally, anxiously await word
from the Townsend camp as to the
endorsements of this well organ
ized minority whose support is be
ing eagerly sought by a majority of
the aspirants to public office in this
state. Grape vine advices from the
Townsend ranks has it that the or
ganization will probably place no
candidate in the field against uni
ted States Senator McNary who is
understood to have received a 50
50 rating at the hands of the king
makers in this organization. The
same source of information has it
that none of Oregon's present Con
gressmen will receive the official
blessing of the Townsendites who
will place the mantle of their favor
upon other candidates.
In the first district State Senator
Cortis D. Stringer of Linn county
is out with a bid for the Townsend
vote as a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Congress. E.
W. Kirkpatrick of Milwaukie, also
a democrat, is out for the Congress
ional nomination on an anti-Town-send
plan platform, being the first
candidate thus far to defy the
Townsendites with an open declar
ation of opposition to their pro
gram. C. D. Nickelson, Hood River re
publican, is the only candidate to
file so far from the second district
Report has it that Clarence B.
Phillips of Burns may also seek the
republican nomination. In the
Democratic camp indications are
that Walter M. Pierce, incumbent,
may have primary competition with
Representative Clint Haight of
Canyon City and V. S. Howard of
Madras both mentioned in this con
nection. Appointment of Robert W. Ruhl,
Medford publisher, to a place on the
state board of higher education
gives the newspaper fraternity two
representatives on this all-important
board. B. F. Irvine, editor of
the Oregon Jouranl, is the other
one. Mrs. Sheldon Sackett (Beat
rice Walton) although the wife of
a newspaper man is herself an ed
ucator having taught school and
served in the office of state super
intendent of public instruction be
fore entering public life as secre
tary to former Governor Patter
son. Ruhl, a republican, succeeds
Leif Finseth of Dallas, also a re
publican, whose term expired Mon
day. Ruhl's appointment is gener
ally regarded as a reward for his
support of the governor in the re
cent campaign.
Members of the state industrial
accident commission do not re
ceive any extra compensation for
their services as members of the
new unemployment compensation
commission, Attorney General Van
Winkle ruled in an opinion to Sec
retary of State Snell. Salaries of
the commissioners may be restored
to the old base only upon approval
of the board of control and the
budget department
nied permits, mostly because their
territory is already adequately
served by dispensers of the amber
brew.
Four of the new Coast highway
bridges will be open to traffic by
May 15, according to R. H. Bal
dock. state highway engineer. The
fifth bridge, at Newport will not
be completed until September 1.
Completion of the bridge program
Will throw 730 men out of employ
ment.
Said the governor of Oregon to
the governor of California, "What
are you going to do about the Los
Angeles bum blockade?' Or words
to that effect Governor Martin
in a letter to Governor Merriam
declared that the situation at the
border was giving southern Oregon
counties considerable concern and
asked to be advised as to the pol
icy of the state of California with
respect to continuation of the
blockade.
Reports that Oregon war veter
ans would refuse to apply their fed
eral bonus payments toward reduc
tion of their state bonus loans
brought a sharp retort from Jer
rold Owen, secretary to the World
War Veterans State Aid commis
sion. 'There is nothing to indicate
that the veterans expect to repu
diate their obligation to the state,"
Owen declared. Sixty-three percent
of all veteran loans are being re
paid promptly. Only "a small,
stubborn group" of veterans show
no sign of appreciation of past le
niency on the part of the bonus
commission. Scores of letters pour
ing into the offices of the commis
sion indicate that most of the vet
erans are anxious to repay the state
at the first opportunity.

Oregon's insane population is in
creasing at the rate or approxi
mately 100 a day according to Dr.
John Evans, for 30 years a mem
ber of the medical staff of the state
hospital for insane. Calling atten
tion to the fact that insanity is
hereditary Dr. Evans urged steril
ization as the only safeguard
gainst its continued spread. Twen
ty-seven states, including Oregon,
now have sterilization laws but Dr.
Evans regards a national act as
necessary to cope with the situa
tion.
With 18 states already lined up
for a share of Uncle Sam's pension
fund, Oregon officials are speeding
up this state s application to the
National Security board whose
word will seal the fate of Oregon's
old age pension set-up. Plans pre-
pared by Elmer Goudy, state relief
administrator, provide for pensions
averaging $25 a month if the fed
eral government approves. Wash
ington and Idaho are among the
states already in line for federal
assistance in pension payments.
The public utilities department
expects to occupy its new offices in

Reduction of compensation for
the use of privately owned auto
mobiles on state business from five
cents a mile to four cents has been
recommended to the board of con
trol by Wallace S. Wharton, budget
director. Wharton declares that the
proposed lower rate of pay would
still yield a profit to tne car owner
over actual cost of operation as
proven by rec5rds covering the op
eration of state owned vehicles.

since its reorganization doled out a
total of $12,772 in delinquency ap
propriations to replenish depart
mental funds. Largest item ap
proved by the board was a request
for J5500 from the ouagei aepart
ment. A request by C. H. Gram for
an aggregate of more than $14,000
for the bureau of labor ana wei
fare division was reduced by the
board to $3500 and an appropriation
of $3772 was approved for the de
partment of vocational education
In voting the deficiency appropna-
tion for the budget department the
board warned the budgeteers to be
prepared to justify their existence
before the next legislature or face
the prospect of abolishment. La-
bor commissioner Gram, following
the meeting announced that he
would be compelled to discontinue
the welfare work of his department
until additional funds were provid
ed.

New Pasture Grass Types
Interest Seed Producers
Farmers of both eastern and
western Oregon are becoming In
creasingly Interested in the produc
tion of special pasture strains of
grasses and clovers developed in re
cent years by experimental workers
in England, Wales and New Zea
land, says E. R. Jack'man, exten
sion agronomist at Oregon State
college.
The development of these special
strains came as a result of a study
of the performance and adaptabil
ity of different strains of the sarai
crop. It was found, for example,
that the strain of timothy that gave
the best yield of hay might be the
least desirable strain as a pasture
crop, and, on the other hand, a
strain which spread out on the
ground and gave continued high
yields of pasture, was worth little
as a hay crop.
In developing these pasture crop
strains of seed, the European work
ers chose pastures which had been
so highly grazed for years that no
plants had gone to seed. Heavy
producing plants were picked from
these pastures and new strains
were developed particularly fitted
for pasturing. In this manner pas
ture strains of orchard grass, Eng
lish rye grass, white clover and tim
othy were produced. Some of these
have developed the vegetative
growth habit so strongly that they
do not produce as much seed as the
old strains. A small plot of the new
strain of English rye grass wai
grown last year by Antone Evers
of Forest Grove.
Another crop which is beginning
to attract attention as a pasture
possibility is yellow trefoil, some
times known as black medic, which
grows wild over much of eastern
Oregon and parts of western Ore
gon. This plant looks like alfalfa,
but has formerly been regarded as
a weed. Jackman reports, how
ever, that he has recently received
a number of letters from eastern
and southern experiment stations
inquiring about a source of seed or
this plant. The Cornell experiment
station is recommending it for use
in pasture mixtures in the state of
New York.

greater the distance between plants

of Oregon where tomatoes are
widely grown, four inches is the
standard distance. Many growers
use individual containers which
lessen root disturbances when the
plants are set out Number 2 and
2V tin cans or deep berry hallocks

growers pinch out the terminal
growth of the plant when it is four
inches high or so and induce there

bears early tomatoes. O. S. C. Ex

In buying vegetable seed it is im
portant to make a choice of varie
ties. Standard varieties that have i
proved their value over a period of
years are' the best. A few novelties
are offered by some seedsmen each
year and these may be tried in an
experimental way, but are danger
ous to rely upon for the main crop.
A suggested list of varieties of veg
etables that are widely grown is
found in O. S. C. Extension Bulle

Cabbage plants for transplanting

often attacked by root maggots a
few weeks after they are set out.
To prevent losses of plants from
maggots the gardener can do one of
two things, either use ft tarred pa
per pad about the plant when set
ting it out or apply to the sou about
the plant the standard solution of
bichloride of mercury or corrosive
