Meier's ' board of controli "the new
state purchasing agent. William Ein
zlg, wllj draw. . salary,, of a7ooo ft
year instead of the 4200 drawn by
his predecessor. Maybe he is worm
It. The governor states' that Mr.
Enzlg has already :saved trie smte
more than the -difference in salary.
Anof we are Incllned'to feel that' any
purchasing agent who Is really
qualified and honest. Is worth tnat
much nioney,' for the Job is one o:
great' responsibility.'; ; ' , ,
But we 'cannot help calling atten-.
tion to the rather delightful Incon
sistency of the governor after nis
earlier preachments of drastic cur
tailment in so many departments
of state business. Though he can
not be charged with advocating pay
cuts directly, the governor did rnucn
to create the Impression that most
state employes were not only under-'
worked, but over-paid, and tnat
state salaries and wages were coming
down regardless. , , ' '. '
In tne nignway aepartment mere
was a yielding to the. gubernatorial
pressure. In higher education, a
ruthless percentage cut In profes
sional salaries (already below tne
average for most states) was staved
off mainly because of President
Hall's courageous refusal to assent
to a program which would cost the
state the services of Its best teach
ing, talent. President Kerr made a
gesture in favor of pay cute with
rather (disastrous effects on his stall.
The governor's attitude In the Ein
zlg matter Indicates that he has
shifted from the political to tne
business-like basis... When a busi
ness man wants a man for a re
sponsible Job, he recognizes me
fact that there Isn't any such thing
as reliable cheap help. He pays
what Industry generally pays for the
desired talent. He recbgnlzes tne
fact that one "first-class 'man at me
troine rate Is worth more than two
,at half rates.
. Pay scales in all departments "
Oregon government ore' hot too'hign,
but too low. and Oregon public busi
ness will' be a lot better off when
"hunting the man for the, Job" in
stead of "hunting the Job for tne
man," Is the ruling practice. , ',

predicted the removal or commis
sioner M. E. Lynch of Redmond and
the appointment ol William' Hanley
.of Burns, as successor, bUt stated
thatj It would not probably 'be an
nounced until late summer 61- au
tumn. On. June 8, the Capital Journal
predicted the resignation of Mr.
Lynch within' 60, days. Governor
Meier Immediately gave out the fol
lowing statement to the press:
I have no pian looking to the
.removal of Lynch. My principal
'desire at the. present time is to
. keep psace- on the highway com
mission. Following the Capital Journal story
of July 30. which declared that the
removal of Lynch was to become an
actuality and that his resignation
was. In the executive's hands at the
latter's request, Governor Meier Is
sued the following denial:
I have received no resignation, -no.
word that a resignation Is
coming, and have asked ' none
from Mr. Lynch.
I do not intend to remove Mr.
Lynch. As far as I am concern
ed his work, has been satisfac
tory. On August 1, Governor, Meier on
nounced the removal of Mr. Lynch
and- the appointment of Mr. Hanley
as highway commissioner, to secure
"harmony In the commission and be
productive of greater efficiency In
the carrying out of the economy
program of the administration."
' This record speaks for itself. The
governor who stated that he had no
Intention of removing Mr. Lynch and
that his work "was satisfactory on
July 90, changed his mind overnight,
and removed him. thus carrying out
the program the Capital Journal had
outlined repeatedly," which the gov
ernor had as repeatedly discredited.
Enough said.

Kingsley's crime was committed

The, reward for hard work on the
sales fronl-came: last week for E. R.

manager refined oil sales for the Gil

Williams had been appointed as
Assistant sales manager, of. this de
partment. This.- will be interesting
news to his many friends in oil
circles. -
"Williams lias been with us for.
several years," says Rowcll, "and
only recently has he borne the dis
tinction of a title. During this latter
time he was known as mana
ger of lubricating oil sales. In all
our sales expansion efforts on the
coast he has been the advance guard.
He has headed the shock troops with
which the Gilmore Oil Company has
invaded every market in Ihe three
Pacific Coast states.
"When Gilmore decided to market
a pure Pennsylvania motor oil the
details of the introduction of this
new product fell on Williams. He
has so successfully directed litis work
that in six months' lime Gilmore
4,200 independent service stations
and garages now distribute Gilmore
Lion Head Motor Oil. This is a
very remarkable sales achievement.
"In his new position, Williams will
be the roving sales man.iRer. He will
be constantly contacliiifr and pep
ping up every one of the 42 Gilmore
branches on the Pacific Coast."

. THE COMEITKI) IlltlVER KILLS
Traffic policemen here are Inclined
to blame the large Increase In deaths
attributed to motor car accidents this
year to the drivers who consider
themselves not subject to the ordin
ary reg'.tlatlons on account of political
mnuence. It would be interesting to
know how many of the drivers In
volved In fatal accidents actually have
had previous traffic, charges dismissed
for no adequate reason. But even in
the absence of such Information there
can be no doubt that the practice of
flung" such cases merits the de
nunciation of a national authority on
traffic as a 'paramount evil."
Dr. Paul Scbroeder, the state crim
inologist of Ullnols. alter a study of
the manslaughter records, hu on.
eluded that It Is not the mentally
subnormal or pnysicaiiy crippled driv
er Who Is responsible for most motor
car accidents rcultlng In death. It is
the conceited driver, according to Dr.
Schroeder, who Is the chief menace
in this respect. And nothing enntnh.
utes to conceit so much ss a knowl
edge that a person may count on spe
cial privileges. The violations from
the consequences of which a driver
has Influence enough to escape msy
not be important In themselves, but
they create a dangerous frame of
