STATE
FIND
TO CIVIL SERVICE AT COURT HOUSE
Newly Formed Union Work
ing for Change May Be
Voted On Next November
Br Paul W. Harrey. Jr.
Salem, May 24. iPl State
employei. who long have wanted
civil service and retirement
benefits, are closer to their goal
than ever before, but they still
have a long, tough road ahead.
A civil service initiative now
la being circulated, and will be
on the November ballot If 23,531
registered voters sign it.
As a rule, the party in power
supports civil service, while the
opposition party opposes it. The
simple reason for this la that
the ruling party sees in civil
service a chance to keep its
party members on the public
payroll, while the other party
sees it wouldn't have a chance of
filling jobs when it gets back
in power.
Different Now
But this time it's different,
because the Eprague administra
tion has given no support to
the civil service campaign.
Members of the governor's in
ner circle dislike civil service
under any circumstances, feel
ing that under it, parties would
be unable to live. The privilege
of passing out Jobs means a lot
in a campaign.
A local of the American fed
eration of state, municipal and
rounty employes, an AFL. af
filiate, was organized at the
capitol last week, its purpose
being to promote the civil ser
vice campaign. While the pur
pose of most unions is to get the
right to bargain collectively over
wages, hours and working con
ditions, it is quite obvious that
the state employes couldn't ac
complish anything in that direc
tion. It couldn't bargain be
cause the employer the legis
laturehas control of funds for
the employes' salaries. There
would be no way to get the leg
islature to come to terms.
No Cains Yet
The union hasn't made any
gains yet, because some em
ployes don't see why a union
is needed to promote civil ser
vice.
. It may be much easier to get
retirement benefits for the em
ployes. The governor's commit
tee to study the problem indi
cated this week it may ask the
legislature next January to give
the employes the same benefits
as those paid to private employes
under the federal social security
act.
However, most old age pen
sion groups are already oppos
ing this. Their argument Is that
the aged should be taken care
ct before the state employes.
- In the 1939 legislature, advo
cates of public ownership of elec
tric utilities thought that at last
they had obtained a peoples'
utility district law that would
make PUD's more popular with
the public.
To counter the power com
panies' argument that creation
of PUD's would deprive counties
(if taxes paid by the companies,
the public ownership group got
an amendment providing that
districts pay the same taxes as
the companies.
And to pour cold water on
the argument that districts
would levy heavy property taxes
o pay the operating costs of the
districts, the group got an
amendment permitting districts
to issue bonds payable out of
revenues from sale of power.
They were surprised a week
ago to find people are still op
posed to public ownership, at
least in Portland and in four
other counties.
Now there Is speculation as to
whether the group will seek
further amendments to the PUD
law in the next legislature.
