o New Set-up Ready
O Appointments Due
o Roads Cost Less
By A. L. LINDBECK
SALEM Lawmakers and lobby
ists coming to Salem for the bien
nial session ten days hence will find
the legislative set-up much changed
from that to which they were ac
customed in the old domed capitol.
While one naturally expects to
find improvements in modern build
ings many of the features to be en
countered in the new capitol will be
downright disappointing in this re
spect. For instance, whereas in the old
capitol it was only a step across the
lobby from the House to the Senate,
in the new state house the legisla
tive chambers are separated by the
length of a good city block. Neither
will there be the opportunity to fra
ternize with the legislators that was
presented in the more democratic
atmosphere of the old capitol. Not
only will the old waist-high brass
rail around which legislators and
lobbyists alike were wont to gather
during spare moments, be missing
but in planning the new capitol the
architects and builders made ade
quate provision for keeping the law
makers separated from the rank and
file of the citizenry. Private ele
vators at either end of the building
have been provided for the exclu
sive use of the legislators so that
they will be enabled to reach not
only the House and Senate cham
bers but any of the committee rooms
as well without entering the com
mon lobby.
Neither does the new building
provide seating accomodations for as
many spectators in the visitors' gal
leries as did the old legislative halls,
and many who were wont to sit in
on inaugurations and other cere
monies in the old days will find
themselves unable to gain admittance
to the new legislative chambers be
cause of lack of room.
True, the new set-up with its
modern furnishings, and rich ap
pointments is much more attractive
than was the old with its battered
desks, its worn carpets and the hid
eous characters of former govern
ors arrayed about the walls, but
many of the veterans of past sessions
are going to miss the friendly at
mosphere and the simple dignity
that characterized the old.
In turning thumbs down on the
plan of Umatilla county to finance
a new court house by issuing war
rants based on delinquent taxes the
state supreme court probably spoiled
the dreams of several other counties
which had similar plans. The high
court in the Umatilla county case
held that there was a marked dis
tinction between taxes levied and
taxes collected and that to issue
warrants against delinquent taxes
about the collection of which there
could be no certainty, would be in
violation of the constitutional pro
vision limiting the indebtedness of
counties to $5000.
The federal Social Security Board
is expected to pass on the acceptabil
ity of Oregon's new anti-picketing
law some time this week. Labor
leaders have attacked the law as
conflicting with the rights of work
ers under the unemeployment com
pensation set-up. Attorney General
Van Wikle has held that there is no
such conflict, that the two laws are
entirely separate and distinct. Gov
ernor Martin in a speech this week
declared that "only rotten polities'
could prompt the federal board to
rule against the Oregon set-up.
R. H. Baldock, state highway en
gineer, is enroute to Santiago, Chile,
where he will represent the United
States at the Pan American road
conference which will open Janu
ry 13 for a twelve day session. Bal
dock does not expect to return to
Oregon before the middle of Feb
ruary. Roy Buchanan, Pendleton demo
crat, and member of the Industrial
Accident - Unemployment Compen
sation commission, is scheduled for
retirement shortly after the first of
the year, according to rumor current
around the capitol. Buchanan was
appointed about a year ago to suc
ceed Albert Hunter who resigned
because of ill health. His term will
expire on January 2. Ordinarily and
in the case of a re -appointment the
announcement would be made well
in advance of the expiration of the
term. The fact that no re-appointment
has been announced at this
late date serves only to confirm the
report of Buchanan's retirement.
Should Governor Martin fill the
post it will undoubtedly be with
another Democrat, possibly his ex
ecutive secretary, Wallace S. Whar
ton, who is understood to be slated
for "something good" under the
new administration. It is possible,
however, that the appointment may
be allowed to go over until Govern
or Sprague takes over in which event
some Republican stalwart would fall
heir to this $5600-a-year job. Rumor
also has it that J. C. Joy, another
Democrat and labor's representative
on this dual commission, is to be re
tired in due course in favor of C.
M. Yynerson, editor of the Port
land Labor Press, who is known to
have had ambitions in this direction
for some time.
Another lucrative state job about
which something is expected to be
done within the next week is that
of the seat on the State Tax com
mission now held by John H. Car
kin, whose term expires on January
1 and who is understood to be slat
ed for re-appointment. Members of
the Tax commission are appointed
by the governor, secretary of state
and state treasurer.
(Since the above report the daily
press announced Wharton's appoint
ment to Carkin's position on the
State Tax commission.)
Expenditures by the State High
way department this year will fall
short of those for 1937 by approxi
mately $3,000,000, according to R. H,
Baldock, state highway engineer.
This is due in large part to a de
crease of more than $2,000,000 in fed
eral aid from $4,589,894 to $2,570,000,
Motor vehicle owners contributed a
total of $10,680,000 toward the 1938
highway fund through the medium
of gasoline taxes and automobile
and truck registration fees. Expen
ditures for new construction and
highway betterment during the year
totalled $5,060,000 with $3,550000
going for highway maintenance.

years, according to a report by State
Treasurer Ruf us C. Holman. In 1930
the state, counties, cities, school dis

Adoption of some plan by which
school costs can be equalized within
the several counties will be urged
upon the next legislature, according
to Rex Putnam, state superintendent
of public instruction. Among plans
under consideration is the creation
of a county board with authority to
levy and allocate school taxes. Ed
ucators are also preparing to ask
for a state fund for support of the
common schools, Putnam said.
