o Relief, Revenue Up
o Appointments
o Debt Reduced
By A. L. LINDBECK
SALEM Relief and revenue will
constitute the major issues before
the state legislature which convenes
in biennial session here next Mon
day. In addition there will be many
minor problems clamoring for at
tention, some of which might easily
develop into major proportions.
Among these might be listed the
highly controversial anti-picketing
act which will undoubtedly be up
for attention, revision of the state
parole system and the ever present
fish fights.
The interim commission on state
and local revenues has let it be
known that it will probably recom
mend that the counties be relieved
of any responsibility for relief fi
nancing. That will mean an increase
of the burden carried by the state
and the necessity for the state to
find just that much more revenue.
In connection with this recommen
dation the same commission will
probably sponsor a gross income rev
enue measure, approval of which
would be expected to provide ade
quate funds for all present state
needs.
Labor leaders are expected to
carry their fight against the anti
picketing measure into the legisla
ture either to secure its repeal or
at least to eliminate some of the
features which labor finds so ob
jectionable. Agricultural interests
which sponsored the bill can be de
pended upon to oppose any tamper
ing with the measure and in-this
stand they will probably have the
support of the state grange which
has always taken the position that
measures passed by the people
should only be amended by the
people.
Two bills proposed by Governor
Martin's special committee on pa
role and probation problems are even
now ready for introduction into the
legislative hopper. One would take
the parole power out of the hands
of the governor and vest it in a
parole board of three members. The
other would liberalize and modern
ize Oregon's parole system.
The Oregon Wild Life association
has announced its intention to seek
legislation closing all coast streams
to commercial fishing, a proposal
that will meet with the united op
position of coast fishermen, fish
buyers and packers.
The reception to be held by Gov
ernor and Mrs, Sprague in the exec
utive department of the new capitol
from 7:00 to 9:00 o'clock Monday
night will be open to the public,
There will be no receiving line and
the affair will be strictly informal.
Admittance to the inaugural ball to
be held in the armory beginning at
9:00 o'clock that same night will be
by invitation only.
Governor Martin announced this
week that he had given his "full
approval" to a recommendation for
the creation of a three-man parole
. and probation board. The recom
mendation contained in a report of
the governor's special commission
on paroles and probation will be
submitted to the legislature for ac
tion. Under the recommendation all
parole power would be vested in the
new board, relieving the governor of
this function.
A postponement in plans to occupy
the new state library building has
been made necessary because of de
lay in completing the building. Miss
Harriet Long, librarian, had hoped to
make the transfer before the first of
the year. She now plans to move
over the week-end some time dur
ing January so as not too seriously
disrupt library service while the
legislature is in session.
James H. Hazlett, state corpora
tion commissioner, will be reap
pointed for another four-year term
when his present term. expires on
January 7, according to Governor
Martin.

Although the present total enrollments for the six institutions com
prising the Oregon system of higher education exceed the predepression
peak of 1929 by 17 per cent, state appropriations for the support of
higher education are actually nearly $1,000,000, or 15 per cent, below the
appropriations for 1929-1930, the biennial report to the governor shows.
Student attendance, now approaching 11,000, has increased by 4,000, or

neuvered to confound the political
prophets this week and to set at
least two "well founded" prognos
tications at naught.
Roy Buchanan, democratic mem
ber of the Industrial Accident-Unemployment
commission who was
"slated" to go was the recipient of
a belated Christmas present in the
form of a new appointment contin
uing him in office for another four
years while John Carkin, state tax
commissioner, who was "scheduled"
for reappointment, has been eased
off the state payroll and supplanted
by Wallace S. Wharton, executive
secretary to the governor and a
Democrat.
There is plenty of evidence, how
ever, to the effect that the prognos
tications of last' week were at least
half right at the time they were
made and that the up-set came about
as the result of last minute maneuv
ers between the governor and Hol
man. It is no secret that Holman
disliked Carkin. In fact he refused
to sign the commission when Carkin
was reappointed to the tax commis
sion four years ago. In an eleventh
hour drive to "get" Carkin it is un
derstood that Holman went to the
governor as late as Tuesday morn
ingthe day the change in commis
sioners was announced with a pro
posal that Wharton be appointed to
the tax post. The governor seeing in
the proposal a chance to reward his
executive secretary agreed to the
plan. Secretary of State Snell, third
member of the Board of Control and
a staunch supporter of Carkin, was
not let in on the political maneuv
ering of his two colleagues and was
caught completely unawares when
Holman moved for Wharton's ap
pointment, having been led to be
lieve that Carkin's retention was
agreeable to the governor and as
good as "in the bag."
Reappointment of Buchanan on
the Industrial Accident commission
is taken to indicate the retirement
of J. C. Joy when his term expires
a year from now. Buchanan and Joy
are both Democrats.
Oregon's bonded debt was re
duced another $750,000 this week
with the retirement of another block
of highway bonds. Total bonded debt
of the state is now only $42,041,935,
down more than $24,000,000 from the
peak of $66,062,810 reached on Jan-
ary 1, 1928.
Of every dollar collected by tele
phone companies operating in Ore
gon during 1937, 13.72 cents was
paid out for taxes, according to a
report compiled by N. G. Wallace,
public utilities commissioner.
A total of $2,481,261.10 in liquor
profits was made available for re
lief purposes during 1938, according
to a report by the liquor control
commission. Since the inception of
the state's liquor monopoly in 1934
a total of $9,022,969.40 has been
turned over to the State Relief com
mission. Lincoln county is the only county
in the state which has no public
school debt either bond or warrant,

Wheat Varieties,
Smut, Discussed
In EOWL Report
Definite steps to acquaint millers
with the desirable milling and bak
ing qualities of white federation
spring wheat were recommended by
the Eastern Oregon Wheat league
in adopting the report of the com
mittee on production, handling and
marketing at the recent convention
in The Dalles.
Although milling and baking tests
on a large numbed of white federa
tion samples show it to have a very
high milling yield, difficulty has
been encountered in obtaining pre
mium milling prices comparable to
those paid for baart. Tests have
shown that white federation is sec
ond only to baart in baking qual
ities, the report stated.
White federation has been sown
on substantially increased acreages
recently and has shown high yield
ing ability. The committee also re
ported that Rex wheat, which was
bred and introduced through the
Moro branch experiment station,
continues to give favorable yields
over a wide area. The committee
said that it should be used on much
of the acreage now devoted to feder
ation, albit, hybrid 128 and forty-
fold. Of the spring wheat varieties,
white federation, baart and hard
federation No. 31 have given the best
yields.
The report stated that Oregon has
developed and maintained a high
degree of standardization of wheat
varieties, which proves highly val
uable in reducing discounts on
mixed wheats. Inspection figures for
1938 show that most of the mixed
wheat is of the fortyfold-variety, al
though certain quantities of other
varieties also graded as mixed. As
a means of further reducing mix
tures, it was recommended that but
one spring and one winter variety
be grown on each farm, wherever
practicable.
In discussing smut control, the re
port showed that the 1937 crop had
but 7 per cent smut, and that pre
liminary figures for 1938 show only
8 per cent. Here again the chief va
riety in causing discounts was forty-
fold. Use of recommended seed treat
ment practices, introduction of re
sistant varieties and improved cul
tural practices have combined to
reduce smut dockage from 70 per
cent a few years ago to only 8 per
cent now. Despite this excellent
showing, the report added, further
savings are still possible. New im
proved ceresan is still the outstand
ing seed treatment.
