o Political Pot
o Power District
o New Library
By A. L. LINDBECK
SALEM With the deadline for
filing less than two months away
the political pot is beginning to per
colate. Sam Brown, the Gervais fanner,
upon his return to Oregon last week
from an extended trip into Mexico
confirmed reports that he intended
to enter the republican primaries as
a candidate for governor. Sam said
that he would tour the state in the
same old Ford that served him in
his campaign four years ago and a
friend had agreed to finance his
campaign to the extent of $40.
Reports from Milwaukie have it
that M. S. Shrock of that city will
also be a candidate for the republi
can nomination for governor.
On the democratic side of the fence
Henry Oleen this week plunked
down $100 in cold cash to get his
name on the primary ballot as a can
didate for governor. Oleen has turned
a deaf ear to all suggestions that he
withdraw from the race and his ac
tion this week only confirms his re
peated statements that he is in the
race to stay. With "J. F. Hosch of
Bend already an avowed candidate
and Howard Latourette expected to
announce his candidacy any day now
it begins to look like a mad scram
ble among the New Deal elements
of the Jacksonian party that will
insure the nomination of Governor
Martin without much difficulty.
So far Justice Henry J. Bean is
the only one of the three retiring
supreme court members to announce
himself as a candidate for another
term. Justice J. O. Bailey is expect
ed to seek re-election but there is
some question as to the intentions
of Justic Hall S. Lusk, democrat,
who was appointed to the bench by
Governor Martin last July following
the death of Justice J. U. Campbell.
Attorney General I. H. Van Winkle
who has been mentioned as a possi
ble candidate for supreme court
honors so far has refused to either
confirm or deny the rumor.
A survey just completed in Lane
county revealed 1800 boys and girls
between the ages of 16 and 22 years
who are not in school, according to
O. D. Adams, state director for vo
cational education. A majority of
these boys and girls have never had
a job and 82 per cent of the num
ber have never had any training to
fit them for a job, Adams said. In
the opinion of Adams the answer to
this problem of out-of-school youth
is a continuation school of vocational
education offering courses in vo
cational agriculture, trades and in
dustries and domestic science.
Governor Martin in an address
before the Salem chamber of com
merce this week warned the dairy
men of Oregon of "sinister influ
ences" at work to undermine the
milk control law which he regards as
vital to the welfare of the dairy in
dustry. Edgar W. Smith, chairman
of the milk control board, speaking
on the same program indicted the
"chain stores" as the strongest op
ponents of the control set-up.
Employment in hazardous indus
tries in Oregon, including logging
and lumbering, reached an all-time
peak last October, according to rec
ords of the State Industrial Accident
commission. Payrolls in Oregon's
hazardous industries reached an all
time peak of $15,455,647 in Septem
ber but fell off to $12,682,008 in De
cember due largely to strikes in the
lumber industry. Average wage paid
to workers in hazardous industries
during September was $4.63 a day,
dropping to $4.31 for December.
The Oregon Hydro-electric com
mission has set Friday, April 8, as the
date on which voters of seven north
west Oregon counties will decide up
on the creation of a peoples' utility
district. Preliminary petitions cov
ering the organization of the dis
trict were filed with the commission
more than two years ago. In their
report on the project the commission
made no recommendations either
for or against the district.
The proposed district embraces the
1938
Heppner
counties of Clackamas, Clatsop,
Yamhill Tillamook, Lincoln and
Polk. Forty-five municipalities are
included within its borders. Under
the Oregon utility district act any of
these municipalities may vote them
selves out of the district Any of the
counties may also decide to remain
out of the organization. ,
In many respects the April elec
tion will be the first real test of
strength of public power advocates
in this state.
The "Circuit Rider" statue which
occupied a prominent place on the
state house lawn before the distrac
tion of the old capitol by fire two
years ago, may be moved to a new
lication in Willson park after the
new capitol is completed. This was
revealed during a visit of the Cap
itol Reconstruction commission to
Salem this week. Originally it had
been planned to locate the statue
to the south of the new building.
It would require 300 days under
present conditions to mobilize the
Pacific coast for defense against an
invading foe, according to Major
General George A. White, command
er of the 41st division of the Na
tional Guard. General White said
that the west coast is entirely un
prepared for defense.
Miss Harriet Long, state librarian,
left Friday - night by airplane for
Washington, D. C, to attend a ses
sion of the extension board of the
American Library association of
which she is a member.
The new state library building
will have a marble exterior to har
monize with the new capitol. Con
tract for construction of the build
ing was awarded by the Capitol com
mission Friday to the L. H. Hoffman
Construction company of Portland
on a low bid of $712,941. Construction
work on the building is expected. to
get under way about March 1.
John E. Cooter, placement offi
cer with the state employment com
mission, is being prominently men
tioned as a candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Congress in
the first Oregon district. Cooter who
presided as Speaker of the House of
Representatives at the 1935 session
of the state legislature was formerly
county agent of Lincoln county. State
Senator E. L. Ross of Washington
county is also flirting with the no
tion of entering the Democratic pri
maries for the Congressional post
as also is Clarence F. Hyde of Eu
gene, state representative from Lane
county.
