Ellis Said in Error
History in Art Work
o Commission Named
By A. L. LINDBECK
SALEM. The demand of Senator
Rex Ellis of Umatilla county for a
special legislative session to provide
a more adequate pension for Ore
gon's needy aged does not meet with
the approval of Governor Martin.
The governor calls attention to the
fact that Ellis' proposal to provide
a pension of $30 a month was con
sidered by the recent session and
rejected. The proposal, according to
the governor, is in conflict with the
federal program which requires that
pension payments be made only on a
basis of need.
Ellis' warning that the state will
find itself with a deficit of $12,000,
000 at the end of the biennium unless
his advice is heeded is not well
founded according to Budget Direct
or Wharton who points out that the
entire pension program for Oregon
calls for an expenditure of less than
that amount during the biennium
with the federal government carry
ing one-half the burden and the
state and counties sharing the other
half. Furthermore the state's share
of pension costs is being adequately
financed through use of liquor prof
its, Wharton explains.
Laying of the cornerstone for the
new capitol building in Salem last
week attracted the largest gathering
of notables ever gathered in Ore
gon's capital city in many years.
Among the estimated 10,000 people
who witnessed the ceremony were
state officials, dignitaries of the
church and high ranking officers of
the Masonic Grand lodge. Scores
of legislators, including many former
members, were on hand for the cere
mony. The list of distinguished
guests included two former govern
ors, Oswald West and Ben W. 01
cott, both of Portland; two former
supreme court justices, Lawrence T.
Harris of Eugene and O. P. Coshow
of Roseburg, and one former secre
tary of state, Frank I. Dunbar of
Astoria, who served from 1899 to
1907.
The move to run W. L. Gosslin as
the democratic candidate for Con
gress from the first district is more
than idle gossip. Prominent Salem
democrats have confirmed the ru
mor and Gosslin admits having been
approached on the subject.
With the cornerstone ceremonies
out of the way work is now pro
ceeding with the placing of the mar
ble exterior for the new capitol. At
the same time workmen are placing
the steel and pouring the concrete
for the huge tower that will top the
new state house. Work on the build
ing is well ahead of schedule accord
ing to Ross B. Hammond, contractor.
That the State Emergency Board
has no intention of usurping the
functions of the legislature was in
dicated at its meeting here last week.
Of four requests presented for ap
propriations totalling $55,000 only
one was approved, that for a total
of only $1500. The other three were
held not to represent emergencies as
contemplated by the legislative act
authorizing the board to provide
funds to cover extraordinary situa
tions arising between sessions. One
of the rejected requests called for
an appropriation of $15,000 to finance
the employment of seven additional
guards at the state prison so that
these employees could be placed on
a six-day basis. The board held that
such a program was a matter of pol
icy to be determined by the board
of control and not the emergency
board. Furthermore, it was pointed
out that there had been no change in
the situation at the prison since the
legislature was in session. Another

In the rotunda of the capitol, Keal
ly explained, will be four great
paintings, one depicting Captain
Gray landing at the Columbia river,
another showing Lewis and Clark
at Celilo Falls, a third portraying
the first white woman to cross the
contnient arriving at Fort Vancou
ver and the fourth showing a typi
cal wagon train of the 1843 period.
Flanking either side of the main
entrance and 40 feet in front of it
will be two heroic groups carved in
marble. At the left the composition
will portray the great Lewis and
Clark expedition crossing the con
tinent. Balancing this on the right
the great wagon train of 1843 will
take form.
Above the main entrance will be
carved a composition in which the
eagle, sun, the water and earth will
form the component parts. On the
flanking buttresses of the main en
trance doorway are to be carved, on
one side the sea otter, on the other
the beaver.
Over the west entrance will be a
composition of three salmon. On the
east entrance, wheat has been se
lected as the theme. Other sculptural
subjects to be placed in various parts
of the building include domesticated
animals, such as the cow, the horse
and the sheep, the mule, deer and
buffalo. The stage coach, the loco
motive, and the pony express will
also form part of the decorative com
position. On the. floor in the center of the
rotunda is to be Captain Gray's ship,
"The Columbia," cast in bronze, and
topping the cylindrical tower will be
a 22-foot bronze statue typifying a
symbolic pioneer.
Leo Freedlander and Uldic Eller
husen will be the sculptors on the
capitol job and Barry Faulkner and
Frank Schwarz will paint the murals.
All four are New York artists of
nation-wide repute according to
Keally.
