Page Eight STATE CAPITAL Heppner Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon Thursday, October 6, 1938 NEWS o Capitol Dedication o Forestry Kick Liquor Control By A. L. LINDBECK mmiimiiiiiiiiiHHUiiiiiMi""""""" At Heppner CHURCHES Salem Oregon staged a double celebration here Saturday the dedi cation of its new $2,500,000 capitol and the 75th birthday anniversary of Governor Charles H. Martin. The attendance at the dedicatory ceremonies was the smallest that has gathered at any of the three cere monies for which the state house has provided an excuse since it was opened in June. Fewer than 1000 persons were in attendance, more than 100 of these occupying seats of honor on the speakers' platform. Leslie M. Scott, Portland, who de livered the dedicatory address, paid high tribute to the pioneers who made the development of the Ore gon country possible. Governor Mar tin in accepting the building, on be half of the state, from J. A. McLain, chairman of the capitol commission, pronounced it a task "well done." Robert W. Sawyer of Bend gave a brief chronological account of events leading up to the dedication of the new capitol. Following the dedication program Governor Martin held an informal reception in his offices where hun dreds of friends called to extend congratulations and well wishes. The axecutive department was a bower of - flowers, expressions of esteem from friends all over the nation. Among the floral tributes was a huge basket of flowers from Gov ernor Marland of Oklahoma and an other from Governor Murphy of ' New Hampshire. State officials and department and institution heads called at the executive department during the morning to congratulate the governor. The state's present to the governor was a suite full of new furniture which arrived only the day before, just in time for the dedication and "open house." REGISTER TODAY! Secretary of State Snell warns that all persons who have not voted dur ing the tast two years or who have changed their address since the last election moving to a new voting precinct must register at once if they expect to vote in November. Saturday. October 8, is the last day on which this important matter may be attended to. County judges and commissioners from seven Oreeon coast counties descended on the Board of Forestry here this week with blood in tneir eyes. The county officials charged the state forester with failure to co operate in a practical program of fire prevention and ..control as well as obstructing the development of graz ing in timbered areas by withholding burning permits. The delegation also asked for state aid in solving a ser ious financial problem brought on by the rapid depletion of the timber suodIv alonff the coast, a develop ment that is gradually reducing the tax base in these counties, piling the burden of governmental costs up on other properties to a point approach ing confiscation. Judge Guy Boying ton of Clatsop county, spokesman for the delegation, told the forestry board that assessed valuations in his cmintv had decreased from $41,000, 000 to $16,000,000 in a single gener ation. The situation in Clatsop coun ty was said by others in the delega tion to be typical of the situation in all the coast counties. m Ballot Measures Analyzed Bill Regulating Sale of Alcoholic Liquor for Beverage Purposes This measure was sponsored jointly by the Anti-Liquor League of Oregon, the Portland Council of Churches, the Oregon Women's Christian Tem perance Union and the Oregon Council of Churches. It's primary purpose is to confine the sale of all alcoholic liquors to stores and agencies operated by the Oregon Liquor Control commission.

It will cost the federal, state and county governments a total of $25, 824.500 to finance relief needs in Oregon during 1939-40 Elmer Goudy, state relief administrator, reported to Governor Martin this week. This budget, adopted by the State Relief committee at a meeting in Portland Fridav represents an increase of ap proximately $8,000,000 over the re lief budget for the current biennium Old age pensions alone will require a total of $15,000,000, or about $4,500,- 000 more than is being spent this biennium. This budget is based on the care of 22,500 needy aged at an average of $25 a month. Diect relief, it is estimated, will require $6,651, 000 and care of dependent children $3,200,000. As predicted last week railroad assesments in Oregon show a de crease of $2,345,205 from the assess ments of 1937. Tentative valuations on 15 major railroads as fixed by the State Tax commission this year aggregate $121,763,522. The slump in railroad values, it is said, wil practically wipe out any chance for an increase in utility assessments this year. nf thf. 120 nersons arrested in Governor Marin's drive against la bor "goons" 65 have entered pleas of guilty and 11 others stood trial and have been convicted, the gov ernor reported this week.
