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.
Sales would be made only to hold
ers of liquor permits and in the or
iginal package. This measure would
abolish all beer parlors and wine
shops and prohibit sale of beer
either by the glass or the bottle in
restaurants, confectionaries, stores

It also provides that upon the fil
ine of a protest by any member of
the permittee's immediate family the
permit shall be cancelled. Persons
sustaining iniurv by reason of the
illegal sale of liquor would be giv
en the right to file a claim against
the Liquor 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. Penalties
meted out in thes cases to date in
clude an aggregate of 26 years in
county jails and 38 years in the state
prison,
Mmnbprs of the State Bar in ses
sion here last week went on record
in favor of the retirement of circuit
and supreme court judges on two
reaching the age of
70 years, provided they had served
at least ten years on the bencn ax
that time. Of the 39 judges on the
supreme, circuit and district benches
in Oregon only three would be eli
gible to retirement under this pro
posal at this time. The proposal will
be submitted to the next legislature
for attention. -
The licenses of 93 Oregon motor
ists were either revoked, suspended
or cancelled during August, accord
ing to Secretary of State Snell. Six
ty-two of these motorists suffered

sions to 17 motorists.
