O Bonds for Building
o Heating Plant
o Political Talk
By A. L. LINDBECK
SALEM Proponents of a state
office building for Portland believe
they have found a way around the
constitutional debt inhibition which
lias been threatening to wreck the
program. Their answer to this prob
lem is found in a supreme court
opinion handed down more than nine
years ago in connection with the
construction of a dormitory at the
University of Oregon through a bond
issue to be retired from rentals. In
that case the supreme court held
that inasmuch as the proposed bond
issue did not involve any debt
against the state but was to be paid
entirely out of a special fund to be
raised from rentals it did not run
counter to the constitutional inhibi
tion. The same plan has since been
used in financing other building at
institutions of higher learning.
While the plan is very similar to
that proposed for financing the pro
jected office building there is one
important difference which might
upset the whole program if it should
be taken to court. That difference
is to be found in the fact that where
as the university dormitory was a
"utility" and the bonds were to be
retired through rentals paid by the
students the proposed office build
ing will be state owned and the ren
tals which are to pay for it must
come either out of legislative appro
priation or out of revenues which
would otherwise go into the state
treasury.
Completion of a 1 mile project
on the Coast highway between Hugg
Point and Manzanita, south of Can
non Beach, will shorten the distance
between Tillamook and Seaside by
14 miles according to R. H. Baldock,
state highway engineer. The project
which includes a 1278-foot tunnel
under Arh cape, now under way, as
well as grading and surfacing the
entire section, will not be completed
for at least three years. Total cost
of the improvement will be $620,000
This is the last link in the Coast
highway stretching from Astoria to
the southern border of the state on
which $27,000,000 has been spent in
the past 20 years.
Secretary of State Snell is not go
ing to take any chance on the urge
to "step on the gas." He has had a
governor installed on his car set at
50 miles an hour. Snell also plans to
install governors on all cars used by
employees of his department.
Lee Spitzbart, manager of the
state fair, reports an unprecedented
demand for space from exhibitors
in many departments. Eight coun
ties have already indicated their in
tention of displaying their products
this year although the opening date
of the fair is still more than a month
away.
The rising cost schedule is hitting
the state in more than one spot. J.
M. Devers, attorney for the high
way department, reported this week
that increasing prices of farm lands
is being reflected in higher prices
costs for rights of way.
Employment of two additional
guards at the state prison was au
thorized by the Board of Control
this week. Salaries of the new guards
will be paid out of the prison revolv
ing fund, the emergency board hav
ing refused to approve a deficiency
appropriation when it met here
more than a month ago.
State officials are giving consid
eration to the matter of improving
or removing the heating plant that
serves the capitol group of build
ings. Originally located in the base
ment of the old capitol the heating
plant is now some distance east of
the new state house. Its appearance,
with a ragged chimney rising above
surface of the ground for 50 or 60
feet into the air detracts greatly
from the attractiveness of the capitol
grounds. One proposal involves
sinking the plant deeper under
ground and covering it with a lawn.
This would also necessitate stream
STATE
CAPITAL
lining the smoke stack to harmonize
with the design of the capitol. An
other proposal involves moving the
plant to a new location some dis
tance from the capitol site but con
venient to railroad trackage in order
to save money on fuel oil. In either
event another boiler must be added
to the plant to accommodate addi
tional buildings now being planned
for immediate construction.
Clarence D. Wagoner, Portland
real estate dealer, is being encour
aged to seek the Republican nomin
ation for governor, it became known
here this week. F. G. Delano, Salem
real estate man and a close friend
of Wagoner, said that petitions were
now being circulated and liberally
signed urging Wagoner to run. De
lano said that while the Townsend
movement was in no wise interested
in Wagoner's candidacy he would re
ceive considerable support from the
$20-a-month advocates if he de
cides to make the race. Wagoner has
been active in the Townsend move
ment as a lecturer for some time.
A potential Republican aspirant
for Walter M. Pierce's seat in Con
gress made his appearance during
the week in the person of U. S. Bal
entine of Klamath Falls. Balentine
served in the state senate during the
recent session, defeating N. G. Wal
lace of Bend for this post in the No
vember election.
Governor Martin this week con
tinued his attacks against J. D. Ross
as the probable administrator of
Bonneville dam. In a statement to
the press the governor reviews
Ross' opposition to the Bonneville
development and declared that the
Seattle utility manager has always
opposed the interests of the farm
ers of the great Inland Empire as
well as the Columbia River section
of Oregon and Washington. Appoint
ment of Ross, the governor declared,
would mitigate against the success
of the gigantic power and navigation
project.
Representatives of an American
Federation of Labor local at Gaston,
Washington county, appealed to
Governor Martin this week for pro
tection from C. I. O. members who,
they claimed, had threatened them
with violence if, they attempted to
return to work at the plant of the
Stimson Lumber company. Two
years ago employees of the same
plant, then non-union, appealed to
the governor for protection from
pickets of the Federation of Labor.
Aid of the State Bond commission
in refunding its outstanding bond
and warrant debt was sought by the
city of Bandon. It is proposed to re
fund $156,373 in outstanding bonds
on 25 cents on the dollar and $102,
537 in outstanding warrants on the
basis of 35 cents on the dollar. The
refunding program is necessary in
order that the stricken city may take
advantage of federal funds in its re
construction program, according to
Mayor Ed Capps.
One of the liveliest sessions the
Board of Control has held in many
months was staged this week when
the members sat in judgment on a
controversy between gill netters and
seiners on the lower Columbia river.
The gill netters, represented by State
Senator F. M. Franciscovich, were
insisting that the board cancel a deed
to certain tide lands whih it had
given to one Henry Coles, owner of

that the board had not complied with
the law in the sale of the fishing
ground. A compromise was finally
reached when Coles agreed to give
the deed back to the state at the
close of the present fishing season.
