O Campaign Tempo
o Dealers' Refund
New Budgeteer
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem. The tempo of the primary
campaign was stepped up consider
ably this past week.
Governor Sprague made his for
mal ennouncement as a candidate
for re-election, asking for support
on the strength of his record in of
fice. Lowell Stockman of Pendleton
made it certain that Walter M.
Pierce, democratic incumbent, will
have at least one opponent in the
eastern Oregon congressional race
this year, when he filed for the Re
publican nomination for that post.
Three justices of the state supreme
court whose terms are expiring
Percy R. Kelly, James T. Brand and
Harry H. Belt filed their formal
declarations as candidates for re
election. At the same time rumors of other
candidacies for major offices flew
thick and fast. Among these was a
report that Walter Norblad of As
toria was giving serious considera
tion to a try for the office of secre
tary of state on the republican tick
et and another rumor tha Attorney
General I. H. Van' Winkle would like
to move up a couple of flights to a
supreme court job, which he prompt
ly spiked as unfounded.
Tobacco dealers who paid taxes on
cigarettes which were not sold to
consumers during the period, the
state was enforcing the cigarette tax
act will get their money back. At
torney General Van Winkle has ad
vised the' state tax commission that
dealers are entitled1 to a refund of
any taxes paid in excess of the am
ount collected from consumers. The
opinion, however, did not shed any
light on what the commission is to
do with the taxes paid by smokers
and passed on by the dealers to the
state.

Mm JOHN DEERE
You're in for the surprise of your life when
you see and drive the John Deere Model "H"
the sensational new small tractor that handles
two-row equipment and completely replaces
animal power on small and large farms every
where, cutting costs 'way below their former
level, and making farming more profitable.
And when you learn the price, you'll wonder
how John Deere can give you so much in a tractor
that sells for so little.
In addition, the Model "H" not only burns low
cost fuel but it uses only 13 to 12 as much fuel
on the many jobs within its power range, as would
larger tractors handling the same load.
Come in, see it, and get "the surprise of your
life."

have volunteered their services in
the civilian defense program, accord
ing to figures compiled by Defense
Coordinator Jerrold Owen from re
ports of county coordinators. Of this
number more than 64,000 have al
ready been assigned to definite
tasks. Air raid wardens compose the
largest group in the civilian defense
program with nearly 23,000 men and
women already assigned to this duty.
Of , more than 20,000 signing up for
service as auxiliary police more than
10,000 are now on active duty.
Governor Sprague has addressed
letters to members of the Oregon
delegation in congress urging that
they oppose attempts now under way
to federalize the unemployment
compensation system. The proposal,
the governor pointed out, would re
move this activity from local con
trol and centralize it in the hands of
Washington bureaucrats. The gov
ernor said that the chief executives
of 47 states were opposing the move.
The state board of control has giv
en its tentative approval to state
participation in the construction of
an armory at Baker. The program
involves the remodeling of a build
ing formerly used as a natatorium
with the state contributing $25,000
toward the cost of the improvement.
The plan has the approval of the
general staff of the Oregon national.
guard, according to Colonel Elmer V.
Wooten, acting adjutant general who
told the board that at the present
time the state has no armory east
of the Cascade mountains although
several cities in that section have
supported guard units for years.
George K. Aiken, Ontario news
paperman, will come to Salem March
1 as executive secretary to Governor
Charles A. Sprague and director of.
the state budget. The Ontario editor
should feel right at home as a mem
ber of the governor's "kitchen cab
inet" whose personnel includes two
other newspapermen. C. N. Ryerson,
member of the industrial accident
commission, who is seen in frequent
conferences with the governor these
pre-primary days, was editor of the
Oregon Labor Press before taking
on his state job and Jerrold Owen,
state coordinator of civilian defense,
was a former Portland newspaper

man and is now editor and publisher
of the Oregon Legionnaire.
While Aiken may not know a great
deal about budget making on the
state scale yet, his canny Scotch
shrewdness is counted on strongly
in keeping the state purse safe from
unjustified raids. While the selec
tion of Aiken for this highly import
ant post may not have been entirely
political Aiken's presence as a mem
ber of the governor's staff should be
good for a sizeable block of eastern
Oregon votes in his race against
Secretary of State Earl Snell who
comes from east of the Cascades.
Residents of Oregon's smaller cit
ies as well as those living in rural
areas were overlooked by the na
tional office of civilian defense in
their allocation of gas masks and fire
fightng equipment for the Pacific
coast area. According to information
received this week by Defense Co
ordinator Jerrold Owen this defense
equipment is to be supplied only to
cities of 10,000 population or more.
In Oregon that includes Portland,
Salem. Eugene, Klamath. Falls, As
toria, Bend and Medford. Owen says
that he is receiving numerous pro
tests against this slight from offi
cials of the smaller cities where the
need, especially for fire fighting
equipment, is said to be much great
er than in the larger cities which are
already fairly well prepared to cope
with the emergency.
Collections totalling $2,228,366 for
' the last quarter of 1941 have boost
ed the unemployment compensation
trust fund to a new all-time high
level of more than $18,300,000, it was
reported by the unemployment com
pensation commission this week.
Organization of three additional
units of the State Guard at Eugene,
Astoria and Tillamook have been
authorized by. Governor Sprague.
Rifles, ammunition and uniforms
will be supplied from the state ar
mory as soon as the units are organ
ized. The governor said the state
was being surveyed with a view to
the organization of still other guard
units in the near future. Some of
these will probably be located in
eastern Oregon, it was said.
There is no immediate prospect of
any mass evacuation of Oregon cit
izens because of the war emergency.
Ross Mclntyre, chairman of the ev
acuation committee of the state de
fense council, declared following a
conference vith Governor Sprague
here this week. Mclntyre explained,
, however, that if the emergency should
require evacuation plans have al
ready been made for taking care of
the situation.
' -
Approximately 75,000 Oregon men
between the ages of 20 and 44 reg
istered for possible military service,
this week, according to an estimate
by Colonel Elmer V. Wooten, state
director of selective service. These
registrants were in addition to those
listed in two previous regstrations.
