Description

Thanks to Terri Middleton, who notes: "Clarence D. Martin (1887-1955), the man with the glasses and mustache to the right,  was a two-term Democratic governor of Washington State from 1933 to 1941,  the heart of the Depression.  A popular and frugal conservative, he signed into law the Revenue Act of 1935 that is still the basic tax law of the state.  He oversaw the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam and in 1972 the Clarence D. Martin Stadium at Washington State University was named for him."
