SALEM. Or.. Jan. 14 (Special)
In accordance with the usual custom
at the session of the state legislature
Governor Withycotube delivered ,hts
message to that body at the second
day of the session.
This was .one of the most Interest
ing and stirring addresses ever made
by an executive of this state and In it
lie made a strong appeal for the pro
vision of the returning soldiers. He
Impressed ;;pou the minds of the ani
ons that many questions would come
up that are new and they would have
no precedents to guide them and they
would be pioneers on these.
As this session will be faced with
many important questions which are
of more than ordinary Interest to the
state the governor gave a short sum
mary of these in his address and
stated that he had no doubt but that
they would handle these without per
sonal ambition.
The address iu part was as follows:
To the members of tho Thirtieth
Oregon legislative Assembly:
Machinery must be set officially In
motion to place available positions at
the disposal of returning service men
and. In this connection. I commend
lo your legislative generosity the sug
gestion that preferential rights be
granted them in contracts of employ
ment on public work, such as highway
cons miction. A state executive com
mittee appointed by me some weeks
slhce to arrange a proper reception
tor returning fighters is preparing a
census of- available positions and
doubtless a reasonable appropriation
will be asked to finance Its worthy
endeavors.
It Is generally understood by the
people of this state that there Is now
no penalty in Oregon for treason. Be
fore the abolition of capital punish
ment conwetion of this crime brought
the death penalty, but today there
would be no way to enforce that sen
tence and the law on the subject has
never been amended. To be sure, of
fenses of this kind come more proper
ly within federal jurisdiction, but the
atmosphere of Oregon is too purely
American to tolerate such n omis
sion, and I feel that this legislature
would be justified in taking up this
and kindred subjects of legislation.
Circumstances might arise where
the federal law could not reach the
traitor or the defamer, and it would
be unfortunate to allow failure of jus
tice because the state itself had been
remiss. Now while the poisonous In
fluences of sedition and sabotage are
fresh in our minds it might be well to
set down In the statutes Oregon's ap
praisal of I. w. W.lsm and other forms
of disloyalty, so that there may never
be any misunderstanding as to the
degree of punishment Oregon courts
and Oregon juries would mete out to
disloyal persons.
Due entirely to the exigencies ct an
unforeseen war and the accompani
ment of unprecedented high prices
the cost of maintenance of stKte In
stitutions has been greatly increased,
thus demanding expenditures much
larger than wo-ild have been required
under normal r-ondltlons. In this con
nection I frankly reiterate my consci
entious conviction that the six per
cent limitation Is wrong In principle,
as it restricts legitimate state activi
ties in periods of unusual emergen
cies. On the other hand, it Is really
not economical as it will inevitably
result in a higher general level of
taxation than Is frequently necessary,
due to the arbitrary practice of add
ing the six per cent regardles3 of
merit Taxation should be flexible,
capable of reasonable expansion to
meet unusual emergencies and of se
vere restriction when an increased
lund is not needed.
A capitalization of assets 13 nc
wastefulness; it is good business. If
we are to mine the rich ore of unde
veloped resources we must spend at
least enough to put the shafts of pro
duction into operation.
The financial situation in Oregon is
uncertain but it is by no means hope
less and I have faith In the ability o!
this legislature to solve the problem.
We have just passed through a per
iod marked by a severe drain on the
treasury but we have learned, as nev
er before, how to save and conserve
and do without. Perhaps this idea of
conservation, which has been stretch
ed almost to the point of uniqueness,
has become somewhat of a habit. If
so, its wholesome benefits will con
tinue, forming what might be called
a blessing In disguise. In any event,
let us be businesslike and as equit
able as possible in our financing.
Ag a matter of business expediency
permit me to invite attention toward
the advisability of establishing the
end of the fiscal year at July 1 rather
than January 1, thus running the
state ledger concurrently with the
books of the federal government. In
asmuch as the working out of high
way construction programs aid the
prospective land settlement arrange
ment between the state and national
governments involves the element of
financial cooperation, the possible ad
vantages of the suggested amendment
are manifest.
In passing from the subject of fin
ance to a cursory purview of the de
partments of state coming Indirectly
.within the Jurisdiction of the execu
tive department a ray of bright sun
shine confronts us as we touch upon
the largest and most Important de
partment, the Industrial accident com
mission, which has grown amazingly
since its establishment five years
ago.
Under the law at present the state
is required to contribute one-seventh
of the funds received by the commis
sion from employers and employes
and, to suit this provision, an esti
mated contribution of $680,000.00 has
been fixed in the 1919-1920 budget. It
has been suggested and will be recom
mended officially by the commission, I
believe, that the law be changed so
that the state be required to contri
penses of operating the commission,
which are estimated at 8:100,000.00 It
occurs to me that the financial affairs
of the commission are now In such
flourishing condition that it would be
advisable, as well as altogether pro
per, to suspend state aid to tho Indus
trial accident hind entirely for the
coming blennium and to authorise the
commission to meet the administra
tive expense during that period from
the large unexpended surplus now ly
ing in the fund.
Such a step would not only reduce
the budget ItiSO.OOO.OO by a single leg
islative stroke but would result In ad
ditional economy of approximately
$:tO.AOO.OO a month tor every month
prior to July 1, 1919, tliot such nn
amendment to the law became affec
tive. Hocanse both the state military code
ami the national defense act forbid the
existence in peace times of military
organisations which do not come
'within the jurisdiction of the war de
partment, I deem It ndvisulile to pro
ceed with the organisation of the Ore
gon national guard so that this estab
lishment may be perfected by the
time the prospective treaty of peace
Is signed. There are many arguments
In support of cooperation w ith the fed
eral government In military matters
and the element of financial assist
ance is by no means the least of those
considerations.
Tarn hopeful that fair minded com
mittees of this legislature will mako
a careful examination of the state
penitentiary and learn the real truth
about a situation which has been
made the football for politics, spite
ful vengeances and deceiving manipu
lations. Although the physical status
of the penitentiary property leaves
much to be desired, I am well pleas
ed with the administration of the in
stitution tinder the first management
of my own individual choosing. In a
month the new warden has been
amazingly effective in his work and I
am confident that any one conversant
with the actual conditions will con
cede readily that this penal lnstitu
tion Is now being administered on a
most 'satisfactory basis. Considering
the responsible and exacting nature of
his work, I feel that the warden is un
derpaid as an official.
Above everything else the peniten
tiary needs a new cell house to correct
deplorable -sanitary conditions, to pre
vent possible disaster through fire
and to permit a segregation of the
Inmates on a practical basis. It funds
were available the construction of
such a cell house would be a splendid
Investment, but because of the pres
ent disheartening status of state fin
ances it may be necessary to defer for1
another two years this almost Impera
tive improvement.
Due largely to the cleansing influ
ence of prohibition the population ot
the penitentiary Is now considerably
lower than It has been for many years,
but we must not lose sight of the fact
that the abnormal industrial condi
tions resulting from the war have also
been Instrumental in reducing crime.
Unless wages remain high and em
ployment plentiful we may expect an
Increase rather than a further de
crease in penitentiary population.
In connection with this problem of
keeping all prisoners employed regu
larly, I am frank to express my doubt
as to the wisdom of the laws which
prevent the sale of prison-made arti

THEROUX MUSIC HOUSE
We shall continue the practice of giving 12 free music lessons to every purchaser of H
our pianos. You can select your own teacher. Your also have the benefit of our easy H
terms of payment a little down and the balance to suit your convenience. Come in H
and select your favorite instrument and have the pleasure it affords while paying for H
it. H
The low prices on our sheet music is continued until February 1st. Regular 15 cent
music at 2 for 25 cents. s
YOUR ATTENTION
Is specially called to two second hand organs, in splendid condition, perfect tone. , If g
you buy before removal they are yours at $20 and $25. They are bargains at $30 and H
$35. . e
ANOTHER GOOD BUY
We will discontinue the line of sewing machines formerly carried in order to give all our time to our regular line. S
We have in stock a New Rotary Eldridge Sewing machine. Regular price $60. Yours for $45 if taken before re- 5
moval and at your own terms. S
ADDING A NEW LINE
We will carry in our new store a full and complete line of Stradivera phonographs one of the latest and most 5
popular instruments. We will tell you more of this wonderful instrument when they are ready to display. Don't 5
purchase an instrument of this price, until you have examined this machine thoroughly. g
We are thankful for the splendid business accorded us in our present location, and urge you to take advantage of sS
the splendid offers we are making prior to removal , S
Tlhes
cles in competition with those manu
factured by free labor. The population
ot the .Oregon prison is so small that
tho effect of removing this restriction
would at most have but a negligible
Influence on the labor market. When
we consider that the taxpayers of Ore
gon are paying fur the sustenance of
the penitentiary inmates it seems
shortsightedness to erect legal ob
struct Ions w hich serve to prevent
them from earning their own way as
nearly ns possible during incarcera
tion. A law granting the prison au
thorities a free hand to dispose of any
commodities that may bo produced ad
vantageously by the prisoners would
undoubtedly tend toward economy nud
lower upkeep, as well as toward a bet
ter morale among the meu,
The present highway code ts giving
admirable results under direction ct a
non-salaiied commission composed of
three men characterising the highest
type of citUonshlp and business abil
ity. Oregon Is at lost following a defi
nitely established and sane highway
program which should be accorded a
full l"lal without damaging Interfer
ence. With the federal, slat and county
funds available for expenditure on
rond work in this state, It Is estimat
ed that employment will be furnished
tor approximately 3.S00 men during
the coming season, a factor which will
weigh heavily in counterbalancing
the prospect of unemployment result
ing from nfter-the-war conditions.
Specifically, I favor the enactment
ot a law authorising the highway
commission to supervise the construc
tion ot a uniform system of road signs
along all main highways of the state,
the expense ot the work to be palo.
from the automobile registration fees
So many mysterious accidents have oc
curred ou grade crossings that I feel
it might also be well for the members
ot this legislature to consider the feas
ibility of passing a law requiring the
drivers ot both passenger automobiles
and motor trucks to bring their ve
hicles to a complete stop before cross
ing railroad tracks outside the bound
aries of cities and towns.
Agreeable to the Instructions given
me by the 1917 legislature under
House Concurrent Resolution No. 11,
a consolidation commission was ap
pointed, the personnel representing a
number ot well known business men
over the state In whom th general
ffubllc has confidence. The recom
mendations ot this commission will
be considered by you In due course
and It Is hardly Incumbent upon me
to express an opinion either for or
against any of the legislative topics
suggested by this commission, as the
report Itself Is addressed to the legis
lative essembly.
In my address to the 1917 legisla
ture I proposed that steps be taken
toward the settlement ot Industrial
disputes through the channels ot arbi
tration and I am, still of the same
mind. If It would be constitutional to
create a state board of conciliation
and arbitration, clothing it with suf
ficient powers to settle harmful con
troversies fairly and Judiciously, and
providing safeguards necessary to pre
vent the operation of prejudice
against either labor or capital, I fool
that the entire state would be bene
fitted by such an enactment Means
should be provided, ot course, to in
sure a full and falthmul performance
of the board's decisions affecting eith
er side of a given controversy.
