NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER, 14,1939 S TA TE C A P ITO L N EW S A. L. LINDBECK State Capitol News Bureau t-— -— . - ---- -------- — — SALEM—Governor Sprague spent more than an hour in conference with Republican party leaders one afternoon this past week. After the confeemce none of those "in the know” would reveal the subject un der discussion. All of which, of course, only serves to add a touch of mystery to the occasion and to arouse the curiosity of the political prognosticators. It is no secret that many of the Republican leaders in Oregon are becoming impatient of the gover nor’s delay in cleaning his house of Democratic hold-overs from the Martin regime. Neither is it any se cret that some of these same party leaders are pretty much peeved over the governor’s failure to consult with them regarding political ap pointments. Now these peevishly perturbed politicians fail to take into account the fact that the few Democrats who remain on the state pay-roll fought shoulder to should er with regular Republicans in electing Sprague. The fact that they are registered Democrats and hold overs from a Democratic regime is enough to condemn them and to warrant their immediate disbar ment from the public trough. To an unbiased political observer, viewing the situation from the van tage point of the side lines, it would appear that the governor has al ready made fair progress in his house cleaning chore. The lucrative public utilities commission post, the liquor control board, the unemploy ment compensation commission, in dustrial accident commission and the state parole board are already in Republican hands and the state highway commission although still headed by Democrats has always been staffed by Republicans, most of whom are intensely partisan in their political opinions. But there are a few Democratic office holders remaining, Enough at least to arouse the ire of Republi can party leaders who believe im plicitly in the doctrine of to the vic tor belongs the spoils, especially now that their party is in the sad dle. Among these are James H. Haz- lett, corporation commissioner, who still has more than three years to serve under the eleventh hour ap pointment made by Governor Mar tin, and Hugh E. Earle, insurance commissioner, whose term still has another two years to run. Then there is Dan Fry, state purchasing agent, who, In spite of his Demo cratic affiliation, has made such an outstanding record for efficiency that th e Republican-dominated board of control, hesitates to dis turb him in spite of partisan de mands for his scalp. And then there Is State Forester J. W. Ferguson, whom even the governor would like to see supplanted by a Republican but about which he apparently can do nothing without a reorganization of the forestry board, a move which he seems to be reluctant to make. Board Reorganization Pending Reorganization of the state board of cosmetic-therapy examiners is pending. Governor Sprague told a delegation of beauty school opera tors and managers who conferred with him here this week. The gov ernor told the delegation that he was dissatisfied with the present board and planned to replace Mrs. A Professional Cards CARL H. COAD ATTORNEY-AT-LAW PHONE 31 Nyssa, Oregon L. A.

Heating Plant Completed The new central heating plant which will serve all buildings in the capitol group as Salem was formally turned over to the state by the con tractors this week. The plant fi nanced through PWA aid represents an investment of $130,000. The Board of Control also formally ac cepted the two huge granite sta tues guarding the entrance to the new capitol this week. “Clean" Fan- In many respects the state fair this year was the cleanest ever. All games of chance and questionable entertainments were barred from the midway, gambling at the pari mutuel windows by minors was for bidden, and the races were run for the benefit of the spectators rath er than the gamblers after Gover nor Sprague took a hand following complaints which poured in as a re sult of the apparent collusion be tween the race starter and the pari mutuel operators on the opening day. Busy Week This has been another busy week for Oregon’s chief executive. Tues day Governor Sprague met with the State Reclamation commission at Clatskanie.
