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."

"Strutting," he says, "Is often a re

the reverse is more likely."
