Political Bomb Shell
Knox Law Repeal
Liquor Sales
By A. L. LTNDBECK
SALEM. Sam Brown, the Ger-
vais farmer, tnrew a small sized
bomb shell Into the Oregon prl
mary campaign this week with, his
entirely unexpected announcement
as a candidate for the Republican
nomination as United States sena
tor. Political prognosticators ear
lier in the campaign had mentioned
Brown as a possible candidate for
state treasurer and again for con
gressman from the first district
but it had never been suggested
that he might be ambitious to con
test McNary's right to a return to
the senate. With the surprising
strength which Brown developed
in the gubernatorial race two years
ago still fresh in memory only the
boldest of the prophets are as yet
willing to hazard a prediction as to
what effect his entry into the race
will have on the candidacy of the
veteran senator and even among
these the predictions are by no
means in agreement
Th congressional race in both
the first and second districts was
enlivened this week by the entry of
new candidates. State Senator
Byron G. Carney of Clackamas
county made it a three cornered
race in the democratic arena when
he filed this week and Walter M.
Pierce of La Grande was assured
of competition for the democratic
nomination in the second district
with the announcement by Clint P.
Haight, Canyon City newspaper
man, that he was throwing his hat
into the ring.
Democrats who are bent on put
ting a complete state ticket into
the field this year were left without
a candidate for attorney general
when Senator James H. Haziett of
Hood River let it be known that he
had no intention of making the race
in spite of persistent rumors to the
effect that he was all ready to file.
Democratic opposition for the state
treasurer's job in the fall election
was assured this week when U. S.
Burt of Corvallis filed his candi
dacy. Burt is president of the state
association of young democrats.
While the determination of Ralph
E. Williams to seek re-election as
republican national committeeman
has admittedly complicated the sit
uation observers who pretend to
know the sentiment existing among
the rank and file members of the
party insist that Ben F. Dorris of
Eugene will outrun the veteran.
Dorris announced his candidacy
only after Williams had definitely
eliminated himself as a candidate.
Pressure of his friends was given
by Williams as the reason for re
versing his previous decision.
The telephone rate case, to which
three circuit judges wrote finis this
week in an opinion overruling the
utilities commissioner is estimated
to have cost the tax payers and rate
payers of Oregon $35,000. The or
der reducing rates of the Pacific
Telephone and Telegraph company
by approximately eight per cent
was handed down by utilities com
missioner Charles M. Thomas in
October, 1934, to become effective
November 1. The order, covering
more than 80 typewritten pages,
was described by Thomas at the
time as the most important of his
administration.
An attempt to restore the old type
saloon is seen here in the proposal
of the Home Rule League to repeal
the Knok liquor control act and
vest regulation of liquor sales in
the cities and counties As a bid
for the support of their initiative
measure the sponsors propose to
give 75 percent of the tax revenues
under the proposed set-up to the
state school fund as an off-set to
property taxes. Sponsors of the
measure, which may appear on the
November ballot if sufficient sig
natures are secured to the petitions
by July 1, claim their plan would
yield the state $2,500,000 in liquor
revenues compared to approximate
ly $2,000,000 garnered in profits
from liquor sales and licenses un
der the Knox plan.
State Treasurer Holman has rec
ommended that the state superin
tendent of public instruction be
made a member of the state land
board. This board, Holman points
out, administers the huge irreduci
ble school fund and should have a
school man in its personnel to in
sure adequate protection of the
fund which has been seriously de
pleted under past administrations
through bad loans and lax collec
tions. Of total sales of $6,041,282.11 of
hard liquor in Oregon Est (ear $2,
453,417.12, or approximately 40 per
cent, was made through the eight
state owned stores and 21 author
ized agencies in the city of Port
land, it was revealed by the annual
report of the Liquor Control sys
tem. Outside of Portland patrons
of the Klamath Falls store were the
best customers of the liquor com
mission, spending a total of $213,
915.35 for their 1935 supply of drinks.
Poorest sales were reported by the
Troutdale agency which sold only
$2,312.95 worth of liquor during the
year and the Harrisburg agency
with sales totalling $2,496.50.
Sales for the year by other stores
and agencies were reported as fol
lows: The Dalles $77,577.80, Med
ford $139,020.93, La Grande $79,328.
20, Grants Pass $53,765.03, Baker
$111,770.80, Marshfleld $93,508.99;
Eugene $174,901.71, Condon $18,
115.50, Heppner $24,958.05, Prine

Approximately 250 men will be
given temporary employment in a
survey of all rural highways in the
state beginning April 1, it was an
nounced here by R, H. Baldock,
state highway engineer. Cost of the
survey is estimated at $300,000 of
which the federal government will
pay $250,000. The survey, accord
ing to Baldock, will provide infor
mation upon which to base alloca
tion of funds in the future for Im
provements. The little red school house, im
mortalized through song and story,
may no longer be red but the little
one-room schools continue to dot
the Oregon countryside in great
numbers. Of the 2654 school build
ings in the state, records of the
state department of education show,
1312 are of the one-room variety.
Washington has a slightly lower
percentage of single room schools
than Oregon but in Idaho the per
centage of small schools is greater
than in this state.
Plaintiffs in 7031 divorce suits
filed in Oregon during 1934 and
1935 contributed $36,505 to the cof
fers of the state at $5 per suit, ac
cording to Secretary of State Snell.
Outside of Multnomah county, the
county of Clackamas had the most
divorce suits during the biennium,
with a total of 569. Apparently
folks in Jefferson county are fairly
well satisfied with their marital
status since only six divorce suits
were started during the two years.

cludes Benton 76, Columbia 64, Coos

Pensions ranging from $15 to $35
a month for all needy persons 65
years of age or over are advocated
by the Fraternal Order of Eagles
which is sponsoring an initiative
measure covering- the subject. The
measure provides for payment of
the pensions out of the state's gen
eral fund without any additional
tax levy.
Producers, consumers and dis
tributors of horticultural products
have been summoned by Solon T.
White, state director of agriculture,
to meet in Portland April 4 to con
sider proposed changes in grades
and standards. Pear growers of
the Medford district are understood
to be urging adoption of the Los
Angeles lug and the San Francisco
lug as standard in this state. Ap
ple growers or the Milton district
favor an orchard run grade of ap
ples as defined in the Washington
standards. Potato and onion grow
ers are recommending the use of
unoranded bags for No. 2 grade or
better for eastern shipments. All
of these proposals and many others
win De considered at the forthcom
ing conference.
