Bedford matl tribune, medfoud, Oregon, Monday, april 23, 1934. page thrh:h CALLED CAMPAIGN DODGE Budget Director Hanzen De clares Treasurer Using Proposed Pay Schedules As Political Football SALEM, April 23. (AP) State Treasurer Rufus C. Holman's criti cism of state salary schedules and the advancement of his plan for standardization were branded' by Budget Director Henry M. Hanzen as political footballs for Holman's gu bernatorial candidacy. Hanzen to day directed a letter to the governor as chairman of the board 01 control on the matter or salary standardiza tion in which he attacked Holman. The budget director's communica tion was In reply to Holman's criti cism last week of raises in salaries of several tax commission employes, . in which the state treasurer urged the board of control members to ap point a committee to study the sal ary scale and recommend a standard schedule. Holman Formerly Objected Hansen's letter to the governor re viewed the move for a standard sal ary program, started May 31, 1932, when the governor appointed a com mittee to make the study. He stated the committee recommended salary cuts and urged the board of control to make a special Investigation of salaries so that the legislature might have an opportunity to make salary cuts accordingly. The salary reduc tion was Increased by a subsequent report by the budget director which he declared Holman objected to "on the ground that the scale cut too deep Into his own salary as state treasurer." Recounting other efforts to secure action on standardization of salaries In which Holman was declared to have gone no further than "stress ing" the move. Hanzen says: "Now, after allowing nearly two years to elapse since the citizen's committee's recommendation for the standardization of state salaries and allowing the whole matter to slumber peacefully through three legislative sessions, Holman comes forward, on the eve of the republican primary election, to revive this Issue to ad vance his gubernatorial candidacy." Treasurer's Job Sinecure Holman in his criticism of the sal ary basis in state departments had declared, the letter to the governor continued, that some salaries were "too high," some "too low," and some were "sinecures." To this statement Hanzen . replied that the "biggest political sinecure In the state of Ore.r gon today is the office of state treas urer, as administered by Mr. Hol man." The long communication then re viewed Holman's appointment by the governor as state treasurer "In re sponse to his own solicitations, as well as those of intimate friends, and soon thereafter be sallied forth on a tour of the state, to "proclaim the achievements of your (Governor Meier's) administration as his own." After5 Holman's election to the of fice of state treasurer, Hanzen said "he gratefully rewarded you for the appointment and support of his can didacy by launching a vicious cam paign against your administration. The purpose of this campaign, was of course, to undermine your adminis tration and pave the way for his own gubernatorial candidacy, and to this end he never hesitated to stoop to misrepresentation and vlllificatlon." In concluding his letter to the chairman of the board of control Hanzen declared he favored standar dization of saliuy schedules, but he did object to the matter being made a "political football, and the state board of control being made a politi cal vehicle to furnish Mr. Holman with a fictitious issue in his cam paign for governor." SALLEM, April 23. Rufus C. Holman, upon information that State Budget Director Henry M. Hanzen hd attacked him in a letter to the board of control, issued the following short statement to he press: "The Devil can quoe Scripture to his purpose; so also can our high Mlaried budget commission, Henry Hanzen. present half-truths. "It Is most Interesting to me to note that Budget Commissioner Han sen has made an attack on me rela tive to my advocating the standardiz ation of salaries of state employes. Of course, the people know that tho duties of the budget commissioner are not to conduct political cam paigns; however, at any rate, he has found a use, though not a worthy one, for the time for which the tax payers, have been and are now paying him a baic salary of $500 a month."
