the floor and opened the moat fiery
and able speech of the day and of tha
aeaalon ao far.
nonrrnun Thrill Senate.
When Bowerman concluded a spon
taneous burst of applause came from
the t-'enate and the lobby.
Senator Bowerman said. In part:
"Mr. President, although this la the
lifth session of the Oregon Legislature
of which I have had the privilege and
honor to be a member, today la tha
first time I hare addressed the presid
liiK officer's chair concerning a matter
of personal concern. Heretofore I hare
never found It necessary or proper to
explain a vote I have cast upon any
matter or to defend before the bar of
this Senate any action I have taken. But
owing to the conduct of certain state
officers and certain state employes, the
animus of whose conduct and purpose
behind whose conduct will' develop be
fore I have yielded this floor. I have
fcit it was only fair to myself and fair
to my colleagues that they be advised
vt tha reasons first why I acted In tha
rapacity of a member of the board se
lecting a alto for the Eastern Oregon
Branch Asylum and the facta upon
which I based my oplnlona In selecting
the town of Pendleton as the location
of three tracts of land which 1 assisted
In purchasing for the site.
Tak Taken Agaln-t "Will.
"Governor Benson, as you all know
has been In poor health for years and
he called me to his home soon after his
return to Oregon and immediately after
the elect km and called my attention to
the fart that this Eastern Oregon asy
lum bill had been p.used by the people
and said that upon my shoulders would
fall the duty and obligation of locating
this asylum, acting with State Treasurer
St.-el. 1 demurred and undertook to
leave that duty over to the Incoming
board.
"Jovernor Benson by reason of two of
fice he held under our peculiar form
t'f government, should under ordlnsry
circumstances, acting by himself, Iiav
I. ated this Institution, but as I have
s.tid, by reason of his sickness he could
not act. He directed my attention to
tae provisions of thia law which re
quired the aite to be selected within 61
days after the law became effective
and to the further fact that If I neg
lected my duty In thla respect, that the
legislature would not have the neces
sary data needed in considering the fur
ther appropriation which we all know
must be considered.
Fund 'ot Enough.
jThe statute appropriation, which
we all know must be considered, ap
propriates KOO.ooo and requires that a
building be built large enough to ac
commodate too patient and that the
Institution must be built, maintained
and operated not later than the end of
the year 1912. Without going Into the
detailed figures. It Is apparent to any
person's mind that the appropriation
Is lnadeo,ua therefore Governor Ben
son said Institution must be lo
cated soon enough so that the neces
sary facts could be gathered for the in
formation of the Legislature.
"State Treasurer Steel, by reason of
death In his family, declined to ac
company me. I did not wish to bare
put upon my shoulders the entire re
sponsibility of selecting a site of so
Important an Institution as this, that
must be built now and plans laid out
for all time to come.
Nottingham Is Selected.
"For that reason I cast about for
some sultablo officer of the state to
accompany me and I Invited the chair
man of the ways and means committee
of the last session of the last Legisla
ture. Senator Nottingham, a man In
whose honest Judgment and Integrity
I had and now have the greatest con
fidence; a man who was chosen by the
last Senate to make recommendations
to this Legislature for the distribution
of our money and the appropriations
to be made. It seemed to me that he.
of all members of the Legislature., was
pre-eminently fitted for It. and he ac
companied me -on this trip.
"Before making the examination. I
seeured the services of a first-class,
high-grade constructing civil engineer,
a man of 20 years' experience In build
ing railroad buildings, public build
ings and the like, a man of whose
experience I had personal knowledge
U. O. McCarthy, of Portland. I sent
him ahead to look over the country,
and with him I sent a real estate man
to secure options upon these different
sites to the end that the state might
not be compelled to pay an exorbitant
price when the time came to "purchase
a selected tract of land. They secured
about 30 options and made a .detailed
report of their findings."
Here Senator Bowerman went Into
rtatls of the various sites, outlining
fully the advantages of the Pendleton
site as shown In the reports prepared
by Soli Expert Scurtder. Engineer Mc
farthy. John W. Cochran, and testi
mony taken before the board.
Continuing Senator Bowerman said:
"I mention these things only that
von may understand that the State of
Oregon baa well purchased that which
was bought and that every dollar spent
Is represented by at least a dollar's
worth of value In the land purchased.
The board shows no inclination to
question the type of land purchased.
As a matter of fact Its sole complaint
lies in the fact that there Is not. upon
this tract of land, a place which. In
It judgment. Is large enough to build
the Institution It wlshea to build. Bat
for seme reason best known to It. the

J AT BOWEHMA.V.
Insinuations were highly dlarespectful
of me, and Immediately following- that
a resolution was presented, which I
am advised was prepared In the Gov
ernor's office, and sent into this Sen
ate by his own private secretary. I
knew that message was coming ana
had I had a thing to cover up. I could
have prepared and had Introduced by
some of my friends, a resolution call
ing for an InvestlKatlon, and when this
resolution passes, as I wlsn tt to pass,
I desire that you. Mr. President, will
appoint, men who are absolutely fair
and not men who have supported me
on the floor of the Senate. I simply
ask at your handa open-handed jus
tice, measured out, for that is ail 1
want.
"There haa been some criticism of the
action of the board In appointing a su
perintendent for this institution and
while It may not bo pertinent to tne
subject under discussion at this time, I
ask as a matter of personal privilege
to submit to this Senate and other peo
ple of the State of Oregon the reasons
which, to my mind, made it absolutely
necessary that a superintendent be ap
pointed for the purpose of doing things
which I believed were rlRht and neces
sary for the people of the State of Oregon.
Opinion Opposite Stciner's.
In the first place, when we started to
locate this Institution, the superintend
ent of the asylum at Salem advised me
that he desired at least 12i0 acres oi
productive land In Eastern Oregon for
the nurnose of this asyium ana 1 coum
not concur in his views. I do not be
lieve that the asylum or any other In
stitution should own a foot of tillable
land more than necessary for proper em
ployment of thora who are confined in
the Institution. I do not inins. mai ma
State of Oregon haa any right, morally
or otherwise, to give farmland to these
Institutions when they must go out ana
hire labor to form it. By examining the
renort of Dr. Stelner you will discover
that we are paying about 11.60 for farm
products tor every dollar In value received.
Asylum Regime Attacked.
Another reason why I desired a su
perintendent was this and I wish to say
that what I say concerning tne superin
tendent of this Institution is with the
distinct ndersTsilng that I make no
charge affecting the moral riber oi ur.
Stelner. I do not regard what he has
done as any sign of corruption or any
thing of that kind, but I do aerlously
disagree with him aa to the policy of
the state and this asylum In handling
this institution and as to the action of
this superintendent in the loss to the
state.
While Acting Governor of the state l
found it necessary to a certain extent
to curb his activity In expenditure of
money and endeavored -o Impress upon
bis mind the fact that the law of the
state regarding appropriation was Just
the same as any other law.
$4500 Too Mnch Spent.
"Now. in examining these reports you
will find. Mr. President, the upkeep of
an automobile during the last half of
the year amounted to about 1100 and
about $1000 during the 4ast 18 months.
You will find that we appropriated
17500 to build and furnish two physi
cians' cottages and you will find that
ther have spent about 1 12.000. I have
had copied from the Secretary of
State's office some of the vouchers for
the furnishing of that Institution which
I wish to call to your attention.

'And so. for Items that should, un
der the act we passed, be pald-ssY, fur
nished and turned over to the state for
$7B0O, there is a deficiency of more than
$1000 which has bought articles a man of
wealth would put In his own home, in
other words, the plain letter and Intent
of the statute was violated throughout;
the people's money was put to other pur
poses, and at this session you must either
appropriate more money or the state will
have to go without certain needed lm-
provements. .
"We appropriated $100,000 to build a re
ceiving ward and they have hardly
scratched the ground. The building we
expected to spend $100,000 for will cost
$i00.000. I am Informed there is $12,000
worth of Imported Vermont marble In
this building.
There is another reason why I do not
wish this bull ing to be constructed un
der the direction and advice and along
the lines that have been followed out
here that Is the fact that the average
cost of keeping the Inmates In thla In
stitution has increased since It wis
placed under its present management,
as the records in the Secretary of
State's office will show.
"The amount which we are paying now
over what we paid under former admin
istrations amounts to almost $7000 a
month. For these reasons and the things
observed while Acting Governor of this
state, I found that the taxpayers of
this state were entitled to different ad
vice and different administration than
that given by Dr. Stelner, and I
say this, not as a reflection upon the
moral fiber of Dr. Steiner, but because
I disagree with him.
"1 am not In favor of constructing
surserles that' are better than those In
Portland, Salem or San Francisco, with
one exception, and when I chose a man
to appoint as superintendent of this in
stitution I chose my old schoolmate and
friend. a former classmate of Dr.
Stelner and a man who has had Just as
much experience as a doctor as he and
served as one four years longer than
he had at the time of his appointment;
a man who knows the value of a dollar
and who would see that the atate Inter
ests are taken care of.
Discharge Is Foreseen.
"For that reason I made this selec
tion, but I made It with the firm belief
that his term would be terminated aa
soon as the new board came In and fo
advised him. I wish to say to you that
while I appointed a superintendent
knowing that he would be discharged. I
refused and declined to hire an archi
tect who could be discharged. I had
the right to hire an architect and I re
fused to do It. I appointed a superin
tendent that I might have the right to
say on the floor of thla Senate the
things I have said today, and I desired
this opportunity to come before you and
read these statistics and give to the
people of the State of Oregon the facts
concerning these things.
"Now, so far as I am concerned, I
don't care whether they buy more land
or not, but I wanted to place theee facts
before the people of Oregon and give
them this record evidence that you dnd
they may know and understand I have
fairly discharged my duties as Acting
Governor of the State of Oregon, to what
I considered the best Interest of the
State of Oregon and to the best Inter
est of these unfortunate wards of the
State of Oregon."
Stelner Blames Revenge.
Dr. Stelner. superintendent of the asy
lum, when asked as to the charges made
against him by Senator Bowerman, re
marked: "J am not surprised at the roawt which
I received at the hands of Senator Bow
erman today, as he has been very sore
tver since he was defeated at the late
election, and has been laying for an op
portunity to get even on someone whom
he Imagined did not support him. In
fact, he told me In the campaign that in
case he was -not elected Governor of Ore
gon he would be a member of the next
State Senate and he has even been heard
to say that 'Stelner opposed me and I
will get even with him when the oppor
tunity arrives.' Earlier in the campaign
Senator Bowerman told me that, if elect
ed. It was his purpose to retain me as
superintendent of the asylum and assert
ed that 'I certainly had made good.'
"In referring to my report, which was
signed by Jay Bowerman. Acting Gov
ernor, the following appears: The board
of trustees wishes to commend the su
perintendent, his assistants and employes
for the able manner in which this insti
tution has been conducted.'
High-Living Cost Alleged.
"As to hi charges that the cost per
capita for maintaining the patients in
the asylum has Increased from $9, six or
eight years ago. to $13 at the present
time, I have to say that this Increased
cost Is no greater than the general In
creased cost of living throughout the
country. For Instance, at the time re
ferred to, when the cost was $9, meat
was then purchaaed at 3 cents a pound,
while today the contract price Is over 9
cents; and most other products have in
creased accordingly. The present cost
per capita of conducting this institution
is much less than the average for such
Institutions.
"It Is seen at a glance that the attack
made by Senator Bowerman today had
nothing to do with the quextlon at issue,
but he merely took advantage of the op
portunity to got even on somebody, and
If it does blm any good. I suppose he Is
entitled to the satisfaction he may get
out of It."
Time Predicted Wlien Xo Certified
River Guide Will Be at Mouth
of Columbia to Steer Vessels
to Greatest Port.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or., Jan. 19.
(Special.) That abolishment of com
pulsory pilotage bids fair to act as a
menace to Oregon and that unless the
Legislature Intervenes It will only be
a question of time when "a great com
coramonwealth with a large ocean
commerce will be without a licensed
pilot at the entrance to Its greatest
port." Is the warning sounded by the
State Board of Pilot Commissioners:
A report from the Commission set
ting forth this danger as threatening
Portland and recommending that yie
state maintain a power pilot schooner
and license Columbia River bar and
Willamette River guides, was submit
ted to Governor West today.
In part the report Is:
"Since the state has abolished com
pulsory pilotage, only a portion of
those persons engaged In piloting ves
sels on the Columbia and Willamette
Rivers take out licenses. Those who
do not take out licenses say It Is not
necessary that they should do so to
entitle them to pilot vessels engaged
In whaling and fishing and vessels en
gaged in the coasting trade between
points In Oregon and points on the
Pacific Coast, and in this position they
are sustained by the Attorney-General
of this state, in an opinion on the sub
ject prepared by him for the Board of
Commissioners.
Xone May Take Licenses.
"A pilit who takes out a license Is
required to be a man of good character
and steady habits and to give a bond
for the faithful and skillful perform
ance of his duty In the sum of $5000.
IT- the position taken by those pilots
who do not take out licenses, and by
the Attorney-General In his opinion to
this Board, is correct, there is little In
ducement for anyone to take out a
license and thus handicap himself by
having to maintain a good character,
be sober and Industrious and give a
bond In the sum of $5000 for the faith
ful and skillful performance of his duty
as a pilot.
"It seems to this Board that it must
be only a question of time when no
licenses will be taken out by pilots on
the Columbia and the Willamette Riv
ers. -While there are no pilots engaged
in piloting on the Columbia River bar.
other than licensed pilots, so far as this
Board Is informed upon the subject,
the same question may at any time
arise regarding them and their ser
vice. If the bar pilots were to take
the same position with some of the
river pilots and refuse to take out li
censes, this state would present the
spectacle of a great commonwealth
with a large ocean commerce without
a licensed pilot at the entrance to Its
greatest port.
Power Craft Xeeded.
"It is the belief of this Board that
the State of Oregon should maintain a
power pilot schooner of its own upon
which pilots licensed by the Stale
Board of Pilot Commissioners may be
served and accommodated that, under
any and all contingencies, the great
commerce of this port may be served
by a sufficient number of capable li
censed pilots at all time.
"The commerce of Oregon is cer
tainly large enough to Justify the nec
essary expenditure therefor, and. in
such conditions, we believe that a suf
ficient number of- capable licensed pi
lots .may be kept at all times, and in
all circumstances, at the entrance of
the Columbia River. Under present
conditions such pilots as the Port of
Portland sees fit to accept may find
service on its tugboats and ' on its
pilot schooner. It should be within the
power of the state, through its agents,
to qualify pilots and to assign them to
duty upon a power schooner provided
by the. state.
Sail Schooner Ont of Date.
"The state is the. owner of the sail
pilot schooner San Jose, which was
purchased many years ago when steam
or gasoline or other auxiliary pilot
boats were hardly thought of. The
San Jose was placed in commission and
did service outside the Columbia River
bar for a number of years until the
Association of Bar pilots purchased the
schooner Joseph Pulitzer and placed
her in service. Then the San Jose was
used only as a spare, fa'r-weather
boat, going out every Summer for a
short time and taking the place of the
Joseph Pulitzer while she was being
overhauled.
"At the- time the Port of Portland
took over the pilotage and towage
business at the mouth of the Columbia
River from the Oregon Railroad & Nav
igation Company it purchased the Jo
seph Pulitzer from the bar bllots and
made a power schooner out of her by
putting on a wheel and putting in a
gasoline engine and placed her on the
station off the Columbia River, thereby
giving it practically a monopoly of the
bar pilotage (which, however, we con
alder is and has been, up to the present
time, excellent), since It would be use
less for pilots to go out in a sailing
schooner like the San Jose to attempt
to compete with the pilots who have a
power schooner at their command.
Hence the San Jose has become prac
tically useless.
' Sale of Craft lrsed.
"The statute (B. and C. Code, section
.4010) makes an. annual appropriation
of $1500 for the insurance and mainte
nance of the schooner and provides that
tha Pilot Commission shall keep the
schooner insured- for -the full amount of
the same and keep her In a good, sea
worthy condition. The Board of Pilot
Commissioners. under the circum
stances, feela that so long as the state
owns the schooner it must, as a matter
of duty. Keep her insured and keep her
In good, seaworthy condition, but Jt
also feels that to do so is a waste of
public moneys, not warranted by con
ditions and circumstances, and It has.
In its last two annual reports, recom
mended that the schooner be sold, and
the recommendation is hereby most
earnestly repeated."
