o Missing Veterans
Governor Fatland
o Picketing Fate
Salem. Many veterans of past
legislative sessions will be missing
from the 1941 session. At least five
senators and 16 representatives have
either eliminated themselves from
the legislative roster through failure
to seek another term or, seeking,
have been defeated in the recent
primary election.
Among those who served in the
senate in 1939 who will be absent
from the next session will be Robert
N. Duncan, senate president, who
resigned that post to become a cir
cuit judge; Lyman Ross of Wash
ington county, who dropped out to
seek the democratic nomination for
state treasurer; W. L. Dickson, who
was a candidate for circuit judge
in Multnomah county; Isaac Staples
of Tillamook county, one of the old
est of the veterans who1 has been
too ill to seek another term.
On the House side Speaker Er
nest Fatland of Condon is retiring
to private life after three sessions
at lawmaking; Earl Hill of Lane
county dropped out to try for the
Republican nomination for state
treasurer; W. H. Miller of Josephine
county sought and won the repub
lican nomination for the senate;
Frank H. Hilton is a candidate for
mayor of Portland; Malcolm Wil
kinson, republican, of Wasco county,
and E. W. Kirkpatrick, democrat of
Clackamas, sought the nomination
of their respective parties for dis
trict attorney; Walter Fuhrer of
Marion has moved from the state;
Mrs. Hannah Martin of Marion is a
candidate for city recorder and po
lice judge; Coe A. McKenna of
Multnomah is a candidate for the
senate; Walter Hempstead, Jr., of
Multnomah county, has moved from
the state; W. H.' Osborne of Yam
hill county, was defeated by Peter
Zimmerman; L. D. Nash of Lincoln
aimed for the senate but missed;
C. C. Chapman of Multnomah, Earl
Fisher of Washington, H. A. Can
nady and Glenn Riddle of Douglas,
Alfred Cunha of Umatilla and Al
S Grant of Baker were not can
didates. Governor Charles A. Sprague left
this week (Thursday) for" a visit to
the middle west that will take him
away from the state for at least
two weeks. The Oregon executive
will address the conference of gov
ernors at Duluth, Minn., June 2 on
relief problems. On June 4 he will
deliver the commencement address
at his alma mater at Monmouth,
Illinois and on June 5 he will de
liver an address at Springfield, Ill
inois. During his absence Ernest
Fatland, speaker of the house of
representatives, is officiating as gov
ernor. The State Board of Control found
themselves in the book business in
a big way this week. The last legis
lature appropriated $3000 toward the
financing of an "Oregon Guide," a
WPA book' describing the state's
historical background and its 9cenic
attractions. In return for this in
vestment the state gets 1600 copies
of the book which it is now offer
ing for sale to schools and libraries
at $1.75 a copy.
Sherman, Hood River and Clack
amas counties, in the order named,
were teh first three counties to file
their complete official election re
turns with the state department fol
lowing the recent primary election.
The county returns are being check
ed and tabulated as fast as they
are received at the state house.
Harold B. Say, director of the
highway department's travel bureau,
predicts a big influx of tourists from
California into Oregon this summer.
He bases his prediction upon a re
cent tour of that state. Many Cal
ifornians who remained at home to
attend the fair on Treasure Island
last year will visit the Pacific north
west this year, Say declared.
Heppner
Fate of Oregon's anti-picketing
law is now in the hands of the state
supreme court. For more than three
hours five justices of the state's
highest tribunal listened to argu
ments pro and con on this act with
attorneys for organized labor blast
ing away at the measure and attor
neys for the state countering with
arguments in its defense.
Labor attorneys contend the act
violates the constitutional rights of
free speech and press and seriously
menace labor's privilege of collective
bargaining. The state denies these
charges, holding that the act only
seeks to protect society by regulating
picketing and the use of the boy
cott by confining these weapons of
labor to bona fide labor disputes.
It is not expected that any opin
ion will be forthcoming from the
supreme court in less than a month.
Regardless of the outcome of the
case here it is expected that the
fight will be carried on up to the
United States supreme court.
Governor Sprague' s committee on
retirement pay for public employees,
meeting here this week agreed upon
a tentative program for submission
to the next legislature. This pro
gram, roughly, provides for retire
ment of public employees at the
age of 65 years on a maximum pay
of $83 a month. This maximum
would be paid only to employees
who have been in public service at
least 40 years and whose salary dur
ing that time had averaged $2000 a
year. Retirement pay to employees
with less service to their1 credit
would be financed through a com
pulsory four percent assessment
against the pay of all employees
with the state matching ' this con
tribution. It is estimated the pro
gram would cost the state approxi
mately $100,000 a year under pre
sent conditions.
Adoption of the proposed amend
ments sponsored by the Oregon As
sociation of Truckers would result
in a loss of some $670,000 a year in
revenues from taxes and fees paid
by truck and bus operators, accord
ing to engineers of the Public Util
ities commission. Sponsors of the
measure claim that it would save
$200,000 a year in administrative
costs.
Oregon's traffic accident record
continues to improve, according to
figures compiled by Secretary of
State Snell. This too, in spite of the
fact the situation in the city of
Portland grows steadily worse, with
traffic fatalities in that area 60
percent greater during the first
four months of the current year than
they were in the same period last
year.
Apprently Governor Sprague is
experiencing some difficulty in fill
ing the vacancy on the Oregon Hy
dro Electric Commission caused by
the death recently of John M. Hod-
gin of La Grande. The position
which carries with it a lot of re
sponsibility, provides no remuner
ation for time spent on the job oth
er than actual expenses for travel,
meals and hotel room and few men
who are qualified to fill the posi
tion are willing to make the sacri
fice of time and effort required.
Oregon agriculture is already feel
ing the bad effects of the war in
Europe, according to J. D. Mickle,
director of the state department of
agriculture. With domestic mar
kets already overstocked with fruits,
canned goods and grains, the war
has now shut off the foreign mar
kets for these products, Mickle de
clared in advising Oregon fanners
to prepare for further reductions in
prices for the products of field and
orchards.
28,000,000rh Ford
On Historic Tour
On its way up the Pacific coast
from the Golden Gate International
exposition on Treasure Island, Ford
car No. 28,000,000 is due to arrive
in the northwest this week on the
last lap of a 10,000 mile international
good-will tour, according to W. C.
Rosewall, iocal Ford dealer.
At the wheel of the historic 28,
000,000th Ford, now enroute to the
Pacific northwest, are veteran co
pilots Jimmy Rooney and Charles
Soderquist, who have been on the
Gazette Times, Heppner,
road through the southern states
and Mexico since April 9th, when
the car was wished bon voyage at
the Ford plant in Edgewater, New
Jersey. Present at the gala send
off ceremonies were Edsel Ford,
Governor Moore of New Jersey, the
Cadanian trade commissioner and
the Mexican consul.
After a series of civic welcomes
enroute through the southern states,
Ford No. 28,000,000 entered Mexico
and visited Mexico City, where in
terchanges of good-will were made.
The car then passed west to the
San Francisco World's Fair where
it was given a colorful reception in
the Court of Pacifica in front of
the Ford building, as a part of the
May 25 opening day festivities.
Civic dignitaries and officials will
welcome the car and sign the color
ful log book in each Pacific north
west community where it calls. On
completion of its northwest itinerary,
this significant automobile will en
ter Canada to participate in a big
international reception. It will cross
Canada and re-enter the United
States near Fargo, North Dakota,
and then complete the 10,000 mile
tour at the Ford building at the
New York fair on June 16th, which
day marks the 37th anniversary of
the Ford Motor company.
Charles Bartholomew was trans
acting business in Heppner Monday
from his ranch on lower Little But
ter creek.
