Newspaper Page TextMGE TWO MEDFORT) MAIL TRTBTTXE, fEDFORD. OREGON'. FRTDAT, DECEMBER 2. 1938. FffllAGE RACE DY LEGISLATORS DUE IHFBV DAYS Uain Spoils Going to Repub licans in Coming Session Getting Relatives On Payroll Main ' Objective By Menard Applegate United Press Butt Correspondent AUM. Or., Dee. 2 (DP) Csu fuiei to arrange the patronage to ke dispensed at the 1939 legislative seefcm will begin to get under war within the next few weeks, and that will not be Inconsiderable. - flu Democrats, who took a round beating at the laet elections, will have no patronage other than that afforded all members, the appointing of their own secretaries. To the Republicans will go the real spoils. There will be 40 Rouse clerks to be appointed. Including one doorkeeper and his J7 aatlstanta (who seldom have difficulty guarding the two doors to the Bouse chambers), and the 87 Bouse chief and assistant clerks. Doors Well Guarded In the Senate the Republicans will have the naming of S3 desk clerks and officers (Including three uslt ant doorkeepers) to aid the official doorkeeper In watching two doors, 39 chief and assltant clerk for com mittees, and page boy. A In the House, the Senate member will ap point their own stenographers. The 1937 House and Senate Journal reveals some Interesting facta on patronage. While member an en titled to only M for each day of the scheduled 'session, their steno graphers get 16. The journal fot the last session Bhows that 10 senators brought their wires and 37 represent ative did the earn thing. That mean W per day for the family. Occasionally members bring their daughter, cousin or other rel ative and make a. trade with another legislator, thus avoiding any charge of nepotism. There 1 no law against nepotism, and It ha been practiced for year In Oregon. Help Gets Most The extra help around the aeselon cost much more than the amount paid the legislators. At the last ses sion, for Instance, as shown tn the 1037 Journal, the following facta ap pear: . The total payroll was 84,859. Of this represetatlves drew only $7580 (at 3 per day) and senators drew 13.680. . Clerks and stenographers In the senate, however, got 23,716 and clerk and stenographers In the House got M0.11S. In addition the senators collected .SI .287 and the representa tive drew 43,617 lor mileage to and from Salem. Nor 1 that all. The state provides postage for It members. At the last session several statesmen felt they were being given too many stamps, asked a reduction. They kept getting the same amount, and by the end of the session postago had cost the state SJ.535 (again according to the 1937 Journal). Leaders Fix Patronage With all that patronage to Be dis pensed, chaos would result at ses sion opening unless an ordered pro gram was worked out In advance. Usual procedure I for the various party leaders. Including the speaker of the House and president of the Senate (as soon as they are known) to get together In a caucus, attempting to satisfy all member. This Is con sidered impossible, but an effort la alwsys made. Those who get In on the patronage are better fixed, financially, than the legislators themselves. The pay ranges from 8 for page boys (and for senators and representatives) to 18 a day for chief house clerk and (10 a day for chief senate clerk. With the gravy train that promising, and a new party In power, the scramble is expected to be a wild one.
