KEEP YOUR RED CROSS READY
i
"PHIS striking painting of a Red
Cross nurse keeping the symbol
of mercy flying is the keynote of the
1939 appeal for membership in the
American Red Cross. Faced with the
need for strengthening dally Red
Cross services in 3,700 Chapters,
and with its chartered obligation to
aid in some measure in meeting the
distress of the men, women and
children refugees in war-torn coun
tries across the sea, the Red Cross
asks every man and woman in the

Democrats Plot
o State Banks Decline
o Railroads Lose
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem Democratic chieftains of
Oregon's first congressional district
met in Salem Saturday to plot ways
and means of retiring Republican
Congressman James W. Mott in fa
vor of a candidate more in sympa
thy with the policies of the New
Deal administration.
Party harmony was the keynote of
the afternoon session attended by
state committeemen from the coun
ties of the first district as well as at
the banquet Saturday night, as ex
pressed by Howard Latourette, na
tional committeeman, and Frank
Tierney, Democratic state chairman.
Among possible candidates for the
Congressional honor attending the
session were State Senator Lyman
Ross of Washington county, Clarence
F. Hyde of Eugene, former state
representative, and John E. Cooter
of Salem, former speaker of the
House but now employed as farm
placement officer with the state em
ployment service.
Reciprocal agreements covering
the licensing of motor vehicles op
erating in the two states will be the
subject of a conference in Salem
next Monday with officials of Ore
gon and California in attendance.
An agreement under which the two
states have been operating for years
was recently voided by California
officials, according to Secretary of
State Earl Snell. The reciprocal
agreement does not effect the pay
ment of gasoline taxes or mileage
fees but only the purchase of license
plates.
Oregon officials are "pointing with
pride" these days to the healthy con
dition of Oregon's state treasury.
While the Oregon general fund
shows a cash balance of more than
$5,000,000, Deputy State Treasurer

member this year and support
America'B official voluntary relief
agency.
Ruskin Williams, a distinguished
artist, is creator of this ideal con
ception of the nurse heroine.
The roll call for members will be
held November 11 to 80 Join
through your local Chapter. Help
your Red Cross help others by be
coming one of the millions who will
add their names to the roll of mercy.

Fred Paulus points out, California's
is in the "red" somewhere between
$40,000,000 and $50,000,000 while
Washington's general fund has a
deficit of more than $5,000,000. Even
little Idaho is laboring under a gen
eral fund deficit of more1 than $200,
000. '
No action was taken by the new
Board of Aeronautics at its first
meeting here last week on the prob
lem of a full time director of aero
nautics. It will be recalled that Gov
ernor Sprague recently removed
four members of the old board who
had defied his suggestion that this
post be abolished as unnecessary.
The governor in opening the session
of the new board called attention to
this situation. Letters received from
many persons interested in aviation
as well as personal interviews, he
said, had convinced him there was
no need for a full time high salaried
inspector of airplanes in Oregon.
The board after a brief discussion of
the problem took no action but left
the matter open until its next meet
ing. Strict enforcement of the butter
grading law was urged by represent
atives of the Interstate Creameries
cooperative at a conference with
Governor Sprague this week. J. D.
Mickle, state director of agriculture,
who also attended the conference,
explained that inspectors in his de
partment were doing their best to
enforce the new law but that they
were meeting with considerable op
position at the hands of some cream
ery operators. So far creameries
found to be misbranding their but
ter were being let off with warn
ings and required to re-wrap the
mislabeled product but arrests would
follow repetition of the offense,
Mickle warned.
The advisory council of the state
employment service, meeting in Sa
lem last Friday went on record as
opposed to any discrimination against
workers who have passed their 50th
birthday. The action is generally in
terpreted as a slap at the federal
civil service board which has recent-

The courts have been called on to
clear up the ambiguity in the 1939
legislative act covering foreclosure
of tax delinquencies. Suit has been
filed in the Marion county circuit
court by Lee N. Child, Salem real
tor, asking for a declaratory judg
ment interpreting the act which some
county officials regard as limiting
the filing of tax foreclosure suits
to a specific date. The suit is ex
pected to go to the supreme court
regardless of the outcome in the
circuit court.
Only one-eighth of the money on
deposit in Oregon banks is entrust
ed to the care of state chartered in
stitutions. This represents a big
come-down from the record of 18
years ago the all-time peak of the
banking business in Oregon when
state banks reported more than 40
per cent of the total deposits with
national banks handling less than
60 per cent.
Today there are only 50 state char
tered banks in Oregon (including
the two branch banks) compared to
189 state banks in operation in 1921.
National banks, however, number
92 (including 64 branches) compared
to 98 in 1921.

deposits of only $39,816,193 on June
30 last, compared to $96,950,430 at
the time of the June call in 1921.
National banks, on the other hand,
reported deposits of $280,143,946 last
June, compared to $136,604,983 in
June, 1921.
The decline of state banks in Ore
gon is largely attributable to the
branch banking law under which the
two large national banks in Port
land have absorbed many institu
tions formerly operating under state
charters.
Sigfried Unander, research expert
recently attached to Governor Spra
gue's staff, has just completed a
compilation of pension systems for
public employees, copies of which
have been supplied to each mem
ber of the governor's committee now
engaged in making a study of a re
tirement pension plan for public em
ployees in Oregon. In a summary of
the various pension plans, submit
ted by Unander, the federal retire
ment plan is criticized as unsound in
that premiums collected from em
ployed persons fall far short of cov
ering benefits offered by the pro
gram. More than 100,000 Port Orford
cedars are being set out in the Ham
let experimental forest in Clatsop
county by CCC enrollees from Camp
Nehalem working under the direc
tion of the state forestry department.
The Hamlet forest, lying west of the
Nehalem valley, was deeded to the
state forestry department by Clat
sop county in 1936 for the purpose of
carrying out experiments in refor
estation. The Port Orford cedar, it
is believed by forestry officials, is
the ideal tree for rehabilitation of
the vast areas of cut-over and
burned-over land in western Ore
gon, especially in those sections
known as the fog belt.
