o Relief Deficit
o Ousts Board
o Plaque Placed
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem State Budget Director
Dave Eccles is doing a lot of worrv
ing these days over a possible deficit
in the relief budget at the end of the
biennium. Not that the relief com
mittee is in any danger of exceeding
its appropriation but in Eccles ooin.
ion liquor profits will fall far short
of meeting the expenditure from that
source authorized by the legislature.
The legislature appropriated $600,-
000 from the general fund and auth
orized the expenditure of $6,500,000
from liquor profits for relief. In ad
dition it authorized the use of the
unexpended balance in the 1937 ap
propriation. This latter item includ
ed a general fund appropriation of
$1,500,00 and the unused liquor prof
its appropriation. This in itself was
estimated to amount to $660,000. Ec
cles contends that there was actually
no balance in the liquor approoria
tion. On the contrary this appropria
tion had been overdrawn. In addi
tion, he predicts that liquor profits
during this biennium will fall at
least $300,000 short of the legislative
estimate.
All told, the budget director esti
mates there will be only $7,864,761
in cash available for relief during
tne biennium instead of the $9,260,-

000 estimated by the legislative ways
and means committee. If, therefore,
the relief committee operates on the
basis of the legislative estimate the
relief fund will be $1,395,238 in the
red by the end of the biennium ac
cording to Eccles figures.
The prison commlssarv has been
doing a profitable business in spite
of the depression. In 1911 the legis
lature created a revolving fund with
which to finance this business ven
ture conducted at the penitentiary
for the accommodation of inmates
who do not have ready access to the
outside world. This revolving fund
has now grown to $7,000. Warden
George Alexander reported to the
Board of Control this week. The
board authorized Alexander to re
turn the original $1000 to the gen
eral fund and to spend the profits
for the benefit of the prisoners. A
part of it will be used in the pur
chase of new books for the prison
library, and music and instruments
for the prison orchestra.
Apparently the howl raised bv
- -
Oregon Democrats over the report
that Byron Carney was to be
awarded the job of census director
for Oregon did not fall on deaf ears.
Word from Washington now has it
that Carney is to be sidetracked to
some other job, just as lucrative but
without quite so much prestige.
while the census directing iob will
go to some one who can get the okeh
of the state central committee. The
objection was not so much to Car
ney as to the way in which he was
getting his appointment which was
supposed to have been influenced
by the Commonwealth Federation
of which he was vice-president.
Frank Tierney, chairman of the
state central committee, is under
stood to be an active candidate for
the census directing iob which also
carries with it the employment of
several score enumerators.
Governor Sorague struck swiftlv
this week to rid his administration
of a rebellious board. Twenty-four
hours after the state board of aero
nautics had defied the governor by
adopting a resolution continuing the
position of director of aeronautics as
a full time job the governor moved
to purge the board of the four
members who took part in the meet
ing. Two weeks ago when the governor
requested the resignation of Allan
Greenwood as inspector for the aer
onautics board he declared the po
sition to be an unnecessary expense
which should be abolished. At the
meeting of the board this week it
not only voted to continue the job
under the title of "director" in open
defiance of the governor's views but
proceeded to rub salt in the wound
by continuing Greenwood in his
$35-a-month sinecure for another
month.
Greenwood, a leader in the young
Democratic club movement, was ap
pointed to his post through the in
fluence of W. L. (Pinky) Goslin,
secretary to Governor Martin. Many
outstanding leaders in the aviation
world have criticized the office as
an unnecessary expense and criti
cized Greenwood because of his
alleged activities in promoting his
own private interests at state ex
pense. One member of the "purged"
board has written Governor Sprague
since being removed from the board
approving of his action and agree
ing with him as to the need for
abolishing the job of inspector.
Members of the board removed
by the governor were Dr. Paul W.
Sharp, chairman, Klamath Falls: Dr.
Raymond R. Staub, Portland; Thom
as A. Culbertson, Jr., Medford, and
Webster A. Jones, Portland. In the
place the governor has appointed
Dr. Clarence Gilstrap, La Grande;
George R. Dodson, Portland; Floyd
Hart, Medford; Lee U. Eyerly. Sa
lem. The only member of the old
board retained was Arthur W. Whit
aker of Portland, who was not pres
ent at the meeting at which the
board adopted the resolution which
Governor Sprague found "person
ally offensive to me."
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Tamblvn and
daughter, Miss Peggy, spent the
week end in Portland.
Right-of-Way Rights
Important in Driving
Twenty-three per cent of all driv
ers involved in traffic accidents in
Oregon during the first eight months
of 1939 listed failure to have right-of-way
as a contributing factor in
the crashes, according to reports
from the office of Earl Snell, secre
tary of state.
In an attempt to clarify some im
portant points of right-of-way for
Oregon drivers, Snell listed these
items:
1 At intersections vehicles on the
right, regardless of which one enter
ed the intersection first, have the
right-of-way. The exception to this
rule is when the intersection is con
trolled by signals or a police officer.
2 When a driver is turning at an
intersection, he must yield the right-of-way
to a car approaching from
the opposite direction and continu
ing straight through the intersec
tion because in this case, the car
going through the intersection is on
the right of the car as it makes a left
turn.
3 At a through street, the driver
must come to a complete stop and
yield the right-of-way to other ve
hicles in the intersection or ap
proaching so closely as to constitute
an immediate hazard.
4 Any driver entering an inter
section at an unlawful rate of speed
forfeits his right-of-way privileges.
5 A pedestrian crossing a high
way or street within any marked or
unmarked cross-walk has the right-of-way
over automobiles.
6 In questions of right-of-way, a
car is considered to have entered an
intersection when the front wheels
cross an imaginary line drawn from
corner to corner of curbs or boun
dary lines.
CHOPS FINGER
James Driscoll, senior clerk at the
local postoffice, nearly sliced off the
end of a forefinger when chopping
wood at the postoffice Monday morn
ing. Three stitches were required to
close the wound and Jim was laid
off work for a few hours.
