Radio System
Relief Budget
Land Board Losses
By A. L. LINDBECK
SALEM. The proposed state
owned radio system for use of the
police bureau and highway depart
ment has now progressed to the
state where bids will be received
for installation of the system at
the meeting of the highway com
mission in Portland on June 27.
Fourteen installations are contem
plated. Three stations of 1000-watt
capacity each will be installed at
Salem, LaGrande and Klamath
Falls. Smaller stations of 50-watt
capacity will be installed at Rose
burg, The Dalles, Portland, Astoria,
Bend, Coquille and Burns. Still
smaller stations of 10-watt capacity
will be installed at Pendleton, Ba
ker, Eugene and Grants Pass. It
is estimated that the installations
will cost $50,000 of which the fed
eral government will supply 45 per
cent !
A balance of more than $4000 still
remaining in a relief fund contrib
uted by state employees in 1931 will
be used for the relief of any em
ployee who was on the state pay
roll at the time the fund was cre
ated and who might be in need at
some time in the future. This was
decided by members of the fund
committee at a meeting this week.
The money has been tied up in the
First National Bank of Salem and
has only recently been released.
Approximately $85,000 was contrib
uted by state employees toward the
relief of needy persons at the time.
Continuation of the program of
adult education after this month

being offered in the 25 counties and
giving employment to 252 otherwise

opinion of . the United States u
preme court in the New York case
are pretty generally agreed that the
principle of minimum wage legis
lation has been dealt a blow from
which it can recover only through
resort to a constitutional amend
ment Oregon was the first state to
enact a minimum wage law. The
act passed by this state in 1913 and
upheld by the U. S. supreme court
in 1917, has been closely followed
by most of the other 16 states which
have written minimum wage legis
lation into their statutes since that
time.
Two Salem citizens who witnessed
the laying of the corner etone for
Oregon's old capitol in 1873 were
present to watch Governor Martin
turn the first dirt for the proposed
new capitol last week. They were
H. S. Belle, now 91 years of age,
and Mrs. Ida Babcock.
State departments and Institu
tions are already beginning to give
attention to their biennial budgets
for 1937-38. Budget requests for
the next two years are expected to
exceed those for the current bien
nium because of the gradually In
creasing cost of all commodities.
It is also expected that strenuous
efforts will be made to restore pay
of state officials and employees to
the 162. base from which it was re
duced by cuts enforced by the leg
islative session or 1933.
Mrs. Clara Patterson, sunerinten-
dent of the state industrial school
for girls plans to ask the next leg
islature for a new building a com
bination gymnasium, auditorium
and school room. The institution
now has 61 inmates housed in two
cottages.

This department is supported by
contributions from industrial em
ployers and receives no state funds.
A number of other state depart
ments are in the same category,
notably the public utilities commis
sion, the motor transport division,
the liquor control commission and
the banking department.
The state's relief budget is to be
kept on a cash basis if at all possi
ble, Governor Martin declared this
week. Refusing to authorize a new
issue of $200,000 in . certificates of
indebtedness to be under-written
by future profits of the state's liquor
system the governor directed Elmer
Goudy, state relief administrator,
to cut the relief rolls to the bone
and stay within revenues available
from current liquor profits ap
proximately $150,000 a month.
Start of the test pits on the site
to be occupied by the new capitol
building was a momentous occasion
with Governor Martin turning the
first spadeful of earth and making
a short speech in which he lauded
the state house planners for the
excellence of the winning design
and predicted that the new build
ing would be a real credit to the
state. Members of the capitol com
mission, the architects who will
design and supervise the new build
ing, and high state offlcals attend
ed the ceremony.
Peter Zimmerman, state senator
from Yamhill county, is much too
busy running his farm to run for
office this year he declared while in
Salem this week in denying rumors
that he would become an independ
ent candidate either for the United
States senate or for Congress. Zim
merman, a recognized leader among
the so-called "real progressive" ele
ment of the republican party and
an independent candidate for gov
ernor two years ago had endorsed
Sam Brown of Gevrais as his choice
for the United States senate and
Byron Carney, Milwaukie democrat,
as his choice for Congress from the
first district. Both were defeated
in the primaries.
Losses of more than $34,000 in the
operations of the state land board
for the past 21 months, as revealed
in an audit just completed, can not
properly be laid at the door of the
present administration. The losses
were sustained in the sale of prop
erties taken over by the board to
protect loans from the common
school fund. Some of these loans
date back for 3 years. Most of
them were made during the boom
period. Liberal appraisals and lax
supervision on the part of the board
at that time accounted for many
loans in excess of the actual value
of the land given as security. The
present board is merely attempting
to clean up the mesa it inherited
and in doing so is compelled to
write off heavy losses In order to
get property back into private own
ership and onto the tax rolls.
State owned automobiles continue
to increase. Records of the pur
chasing department show that 42
automobiles and 3 trucks have been
added to the motorized equipment
owned by state departments in the.
past 16 months. The number now
totals 591 automobiles and 755
trucks.
Cities which permit the existence
of "attractive nuisances" and fail
to surround them with adequate
safeguards do so at their own peril.
The supreme court this week held
that the city of St Helens was re
sponsible for the death of a four
year old child who had drowned In
an abandoned water-filled quarry
on city property. In its opinion the
court held that it was the duty of
the city to "exercise due care to
render the place reasonably safe or
else exclude children from It"
The state land board has decided
to ask the supreme court to pass
judgment on the issue Involved in
connection with the collection of
royalties on sand to be taken by
the Port of Portland from the Co
lumbia river for use as a fill in Port
land's new airport Attorney Gen
eral Van Winkle last week ruled
that the state had no right to roy
alties on this sand inasmuch as it
was being taken by a municipality
and was not Intended for commer
cial use.
