(Continued From Page One)
In disagreement with the other mem
bers of the commission.
Meier explained, however, that he
has not had time to acquaint him
self with recent happenings of tho
commission.
The governor was accompanied by
his hotel here he telephoned his of
I flee at Salem, to learn that the
I board of control was to meet today.
He said he might hurry to Salem and
attend.
i Governor Meier said he Is going to
Salem to continue his program of
' making Oregon the state with - the
I lowest tax levy in the United States,
J as woll as the one offering tho cheap
, est powor for industrial purposes.
He said he believes his appearance
before the board of army engineers
had tho wholesome effect of focusing
attention at tho national capital on
the Columbia river and Its naviga
tion and power potentialities. Ho Is
of the opinion the board will not
change its mind on its original ad
verse report on the development of
the Columbia river.
Kx poets Business Improvement
At Washington Governor Meier con
ferred with President Hoover and
I General Charles G. Dawes, head of
me jxeconstrucuon finance corpora
tion. In New York City he met
bankers and industrialists. Such
conversations, he said, developed the
Inclination that "our business and
industrial conditions are duo for im
mediate improvement."
In reply to quoted statements from
the east Govornor Meier said he re
served the right to change his mind
and that "thero really Is nothing to
say on that point."
Meier Btated that the aid which
the president and congress have given
to business In recent weeks has en
couraged Industrial leaders to mobil
ize their forces, not only to solve
tho unemployment problem but to
stabilize values, restore markets and
bring back confidence.

In a formal statement tho goveraq
remarked "In connection with the
hearing (before the army engineers')
there developed a lack of united frort
on the part of Oregon for the det
velopment of the Columbia a sub' ,
Ject on which I shall have more to
say at a later date." W
"I have no fear of the future,' the
governor said in speaking of eco
nomic and industrial affairs, 1 "and
am confident that before long there
will be evidenced an appreciable bet4
terment of conditions in tho country
as a whole. - ' ,1
"With reference to Oregon t want to
add that while it has its economlo
problems, conditions here are consld,
erably better than they arc In the
middle western and eastern states. ;n.
"In Oregon we nave not only more
adequately . met our- unemployment
and Industrial problems than they
have in the middle west and east,
but we are more than a year ahead
of these sections In our retrenchment
and tax reduction program."
He continued: "Our tax reduction
program Is now well under way but
our cheap power movement is still
in its Infancy." .
