RELIEF PROBLEM
HARDEST NUT FOR
NEW LEGISLATURE
Raising of Ten Million
Would Be Solved if Voters
Would Go for Sales Tax
Labor Bills Also Loom
By PU'I. W. HARVEY. Jr.
8ALEM. Nov. 18. (API Oregon's
OTM-whelminflly Republican legisla
ture, the first to meet tn the beau
tiful chambers of The new capltol.
,wlll begin In less than two months
M tackle the hardest problems faced
by anr legislature in many year.
The toughest nut to crack will be
raining of about 10.000,000 to fi
nance relief during the 1939-40
biennlum. Maybe a fourth could be
rained by restoring the property tax,
but where to find the rout Is a
mystery.
Sales Tax Taboo
If the legislature slapped on a
ales tax. voters probably would re
fer It to the 1940 election. In the
meantime, the state's unfortunates
would be without adequate aid. Sev
eral times the voters have defeated
the sales tax, and they showed In
the election of 10 days ago that the
transactions, tax didn't appeal to
them.
Some money could be raised by
Increasing the state Income tax and
bv lowering the exemptions. But
voters might refer this, too. In fact,
voters might refer any tax measure
passed by the legislature.
What makes the relief problem m
acute 1a that many counties, notftbly
multnomah, can't finance their share
of the relief costs, and are asking
the legislature to help thern out.
Legislators can't see how they can
give any money to counties If there
Isn't enough for the state.
Ithor llllls Loom
Counties feel, however, that the
legislature hasn't done right by
them, and they want a cut from
liquor revenues, most of which goes
to pay for the state's share of the
relief burden.
The passage of the bill to regu
late picketing and boycotting likely
will create a ticklish situation for
the lawmakers, since they expect
labor groups, which fought the bill
tooth and nail on grounds it would
dotroy labor, will seek to amend or
repeal the bill. Repeal of the bill
would be unlikely, since the legis
lators probably wouldn't dare to
overrule the voters. If the bill is
amended, which some of the solons
say Is also a remote possibility, the
amendments might be referred to the
voters In 1040, so that the bill, as
passed last week would stay on the
books.
t'nlont to Fight
But union labor, which already i
has aald It would seek to have the
bill declared unconstitutional, la ex
pected to conduct a atrenueui cam
paign to convert the legislature Into I
Us way of thinking.
The legislature also must find ad
ditional money to meet increased
budgets of state Institutions, where
expenses hava been increased because
of placing employes on a 4-hour
week. State departments also will
seek more money.
Counties and cities have served
notice that they will continue their
long fight for larger sharea of high
way and liquor revenue. If they
win, the legislature must find new
revenue to replace the state's share.
Labor will seek minor amendments
to the unemployment compensation
law, and there also will be a move
ment, sponsored by the state bar
association, to retire supreme court
and circuit court Judges with pay
when they reach the ages of 70 and
65, respectively.
May Name Wharton
If Governor Martin appoints the
new state treasurer to succeed Sen
ator-elect Rufus C. Holman, It looks
like Wallace S. Wharton, the gov
ernor's faithful secretary, might get
the Job.
Before the appointment la made.
It Is probable that the governor.
Holman and Qovernor-elcct Charles
A. Sprague will go into a huddle to
find a man agreeable to each of
them.
Wharton, who also serves as budget
director, is acceptable to both the
governor and Holman. and he' has
been on good terms with Sprague
As treasurer, he would cooperate
with Sprague and Secretary of State
Earl Snell, the other two members
of the new board of control. Whar
ton. like the governor, la a Demo
crat.
Wharton won't talk about the pro
posed Job, but It is reported that
If he could get a good Job out of
politics, he probably would take It
rather than become state treasurer,
Many Martin Democrats say frank
ly that Wharton should get the Job
In exchange for the support they
threw to Sprague. Sprague, too, rec
ognizes the value of the support he
received from the governor's ' tent,'
the governor-elect having acknowl
edged this since he was elected.
Snell IfOob Ahead
The avalanche of votes that re
elected Secretary of S'ate Earl Snell
by more than a 4 to 1 margin al
ready has started his political man
agers to talking of his running for
a major office in four years.
They hear rumors that this Is
Senator Charles L. McNary's last
term, and they would like to have
Snell succeed him In 1942. They also
would like to see him run for con
gress from the second (eastern Ore
gon) district against Rep. Walter
Pierce, the only Democrat In Ore
gon's congressional delegation in
the new congress. ,
fn official returns from most of
the counties. Snell has carried every
precinct, something which election
officials say has never happened be
fore to any candidate.

CORVALLIS. Nov. 18. CAP) Drew
Pearson. Joint author of the column
"Washington Merry-Go-Round." pre
dicted in an Oregon State college
address the resignation of Attorney
General Cummlngs was the presi
dent's first move in a general cab
inet "house cleaning."
He asserted Secretaries Roper,
Swanson and Woodring added little
strength to the cabinet and that
Secretary Perkins was an expert on
"crazy quilts and colonial entrances"
but no match for labor leaders and
indtistriallsts.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 18 AP -The
public works administration
gave atOO.000 to the national re-,
sources committee today for a study j
of Pacific northwest land and mlgra- I
tion problems aggravated the past
few years by the Influx of thousands
of farm families from mldwestern
drought aroas.
The survey, officials said, would
bo made "to assure normal and
emergency public expenditures in
the northwestern states would fur
nish the most desirable benefit and
permanently valuable improvements."
The work, they aald, would cover
most of Washington, Oregon, Idaho.
Montana and Utah.
Value Seen
Various federal agencies have, un
der existing legislation, the means
to carry out programs directly bear
ing on the regional handling of the
Interlocked migration, land recliima
tlon and settlement problems In the
Pacific northwest region.
Thus, officials aald, the survey
should prjve of value In coordinat
ing their programs and lead to the
development of a "genera"! plan fit
ting the basic needs of the region."
The PWA also set aside 25.000 for
use by the public land office In sur
veying and classifying millions of
acres of former grant lands in west
ern Oregon returned to the govern
ment after tho old Oregon and CaJ-
ifornla Railroad company and the
Coos Bay Wagon Road company had
violated grant terms.
To Aid Knad lliillriing
Part of the $25,000 will be used In
construction of roads, trails and tel
ephone lines. Primarily, however, the
money will be used for land classi
fication necessary before the govern
ment can begin administration of
the land under a new conservation
act calling for sustained-yield man
agement of timber lands, restoration
of suitable areas to agriculture, the
protection of water sheds, the reg
ulation of stream flow, the develop
ment of recreational areas, and the
leasing of grazing lands to private
operations.
