Salem Returning to hia office
Monday after a four-day invasion
of southern Oregon, Governor Spra
gue plunged into the task of clear
ing his desk of legislative enactments
of which nearly 100 were still await
ing his attention. The benefits of the
longer period granted the governor
for consideration of bills following
adjournment of the legislative ses
sion has already been felt in the
absence of the chaos and confusion
which heretofore reigned in the ex
ecutive department immediately fol
lowing the departure of the law
makers as the governor labored
frantically to dispose of the bills left
in his lap.
Following disposal of the legisla
tive leavings the governor is ex
pected to devote himself to reorgan
ization of his official family al
ready well started through the ap
pointment of two new members of
the unemployment compensation
commission and one new appoint
ment on the state highway commis
sion. While Governor Sprague has
said that he plans no wholesale
housecleaning of appointive officials
and employees he can not entirely
ignore the clamor of his supporters
for a share of the spoils and Demo
cratic hold-overs in lucrative jobs
are nervously awaiting the official
axe -wielding.
There is a well defined feeling in
state house circles that John Carkin,
recently deposed as a member of
the Tax commission, is to be taken
care of either through reinstate
ment on that commission or in some
other lucrative post. Republican
leaders are known to resent the
eleventh-hour coup by which Car
kin was displaced by Wallace S.
Wharton, a democrat and executive
secretary to Governor Martin. Sec
retary of State Snell who was not
taken into the confidence of Mar
tin -. and State Treasurer Holman
when they plotted Carkin's removal,
is said to be ready to go along with
Governor Sprague in restoring Car
kin to his old job if the governor
elects to take that course. Many be
lieve, however, that Wallace will be
allowed to remain on the commis
sion and that Chas. V. Galloway, the
other Democratic member, will be
sacrificed to make a place for Car-
kin. There have also been rumors
to the effect that Earl Fisher, vet
eran member of the tax commission,
might be replaced. These rumors,
however, have become perennial.
They bob up at the outset of every
new administration and it is known
that Fisher has been called onto the
official carpet more than once to
defend himself against charges
brought by "friends of the admin
istration" in high income tax brack
ets who have unsuccessfully sought
special favors at the hands of the
tax commissioner.
More than 100 applications are
said to have been filed for the post
of parole officer under the revamped
parole set-up. Ed. Duffy, present
parole officer, is known to be de
sirous of remaining on the job. Dr.
Floyd L. Utter, member of the non
salaried parole board, is ambitious
to take over the more lucrative post
of parole officer. But both of these
aspirants labor under the handicap
of Democratic political affiliation.
The job which carries with it a sal
ary of $4000 a year is expected to
go to some "deserving" Republican.
Common Sense, Inc., which last
week started a referendum against
the so-called "night club" bill of
the recent legislative session, has
now started a move to wipe out the
Knox liquor control act. In initiative
petition filed with the state depart
ment this week would abolish state
liquor stores and place the sale of
hard liquor in the hands of licensed
dealers. Hotels and restaurants
would also be licensed to sell hard
liquor by the drink. If the petition
ers are successful the issue will be
before the voters of Oregon at the
next general election.

Shaniko in Wasco county with a
combined tax levy of only 19.4 mills
has the lowest levy of any incor
porated city in Oregon it was re
vealed in a city tax summary just
compiled by Walter E. Pearson, state
treasurer.
. Bay City -in-Tillamook county, on
the other hand, has the highest com
bined tax levy in the state, totalling
121.2 mills. Other high tax levies
are shown as follows: Vale, Mal
heur county, 116.8 mills; Ontario,
Malheur county, 114.8 mills; War
renton, Clatsop county, 109.8 mills;
Seaside, Clatsop county, 98.5 mills,
and Milwaukie, Clackamas county,
96.3 mills.
One hundred and twenty-six Ore
gon cities show an increase in their
combined tax levies over 1938 while
only 67 cities show a lower com
bined levy this year than last.
Governor Sprague has issued a
public statement urging the citizens
of Oregon to join in the national
observance of Army Day, April 6.
In his statement the governor em
phasizes the "needs of the national
defense and the importance of
maintaining an army adequate for
the needs of this nation, highly
trained and properly equipped."
Attorney General Van Winkle has
ruled that school boards have no
authority to conduct educational or
recreational tours financed out of
school funds.
The San Francisco fair will bring
the largest crop of tourists to Ore
gon in the history of the state in
the opinion of Harold Say, head of
the state highway department's trav
el information bureau. The bureau
has already had inquiries from 26,
000 persons seeking information rel
ative to recreational facilities and
points of interest in the state.
The State Grange and the Oregon
Federation of Labor have joined
hands in an attack on the September
primay bill. Preliminary petitions
seeking a referendum of the legiS'
lative act were filed with Secretary
of State Snell this week by Morton
Tompkins in behalf of the two or
ganizations.
The action of Governor Clarence
D. Martin in signing Washington's
"gin marriage" law places that state
on a parity with Oregon with re
spect to its attempt to check hasty
marriages, according to Governor
Sprague who expressed gratification
that Oregon's northern neighbor had
Gazette Times, Heppner,
taken this step. California has a
similar law, Governor Sprague said.
L. C. Stoll, training supervisor for
the unemployment compensation
commission, has been named acting
director of the Oregon employment
service, succeeding Guy V. Lintner,
resigned. Administrative offices of
the employment service will be
moved from Portland to Salem im
mediately. KOAC Files Bid
For Power Increase
Oregon State College Formal
amended applicaion for permission
to construct a 5000-watt transmit
ting set for KOAC at Corvallis, re
placing the present 1000-watt set,
has been filed with the Federal Com
munications commission by officials
of Oregon State college. Expansion
this year, if permission is granted
by the FCC, is made possible by
special appropriation passed by the
state legislature.
KOAC is also preparing for the
rehearing ordered by the FCC on
the petition of KOY, Phoenix, Ariz.,
to use the KOAC wavelength. Since
the rehearing was granted KOY has
made at least four attempts to have
the rehearing order reversed or al
tered, KOAC officials have been
notified. All these requests have
been denied by the FCC.
If the increase in power is grant
ed and the station wins its fight to
prevent outside interference, KOAC
will be in position to reach the en
tire state with increased strength
and quality of signal, engineers at
the college say.
Dick Sperry, matchmaker for lo
cal firemen's smokers, was in Port
land and Salem the end of the week.
He contacted some talent below
which he said may be expected to
appear in the local ring in the near
future.
