Seventeen resolutions relating to leg lslatlon for the development of the state were adopted by the board of governors of the Portland Commercial Club at its meeting- yesterday and the -officer of the club for the ensuing year mere elected. This was the first meeting of the new board of governors with ita personnel changed by tne re cent annual election or live new mem bers to replace the five retiring. C. C. Colt was elected president, and with him will serve John H. Burgard, re-elected vice-president; J. Fred Lar son, re-elected secretary ; J. C. Ains "worth. treasurer, and h A. Coddlngton, assistant secretary-treasurer. The resolutions relating to legisla tion were adopted after slight amend ment from the report of the advisory committee on legislation, appointed by the board of governors. Members of this adt-isory committee are: Theodore B. Wilcox, W. SL Ladd, I. X. Flelschner, J. Fred Larson an C. C. Chapman. Good roads legislation, legislation aimed to improve agricultural educa tion facilities, to protect homeseekers, to relieve undue burdens upon Indus try and manufacturing activities and to remedy abuses of the referendum and Initiative petition system are among the features of the report adopted. The resolutions in the order of their adoption are as follows: We favor a moderate plan of state aid for roads balanced by consideration of the pressing- need for better roads from farms to marJteung centers, as -wen as me desir ability of trunk highways connecting- the larcer centers of the state. We favor ata.t road tax. not greater than H-mlll per annum. ODDortunlty should be given cities - directly benefited to tax themselves for construction of highways leading into said cities. lrainas;e. - Legislation should be passed permittin A 1st net a to organize and tax themselvei for drainage of their lands. We approve further of any practical plan of state co operation. Agricultural Education. Extension work that carries agricultural Information and instruction to the farmers and farmers children In their home coun ties should be continued. County Fairs. Kach county should be permitted to tax ft self or finance Its own county fair In its own way without being required to pay state tax for maintaining county fairs. Livestock Inspection. - Protection of livestock Indsutry from en croschment of disease Is vital and should be continued by the state. We favor such modification of present laws as will give small farmers the same Inspection and teat advantages now secured by larger told era. Horticultural Inspection. To protect the fruit industry from pesti and diseases fruit agricultural inspection should be maintained. However, Inspection requirements should be modified to permit marketing of cheaper grades of frnlt than U possible under present law. County Audits. Audit of county affairs should not be com. pulsory except as each county requires same. either through taxpayers' associations or by appropriation of county boards. We strongly recommend a uniform system or accounting. Fruit and Vegetable Canneries. Cannlnv of farmers perishable crop should be exempted from application of hour and wage laws designed to control Industrial conditions in all-year occupations. Forest Projection. Fire protection of forests, not included In National reserves, in a duty of the state nd appropriations should be made for that purpose, co-operating with timber Interests and the Federal Government fire protec tion. Trade Commission. Business organisations are amply able to maintain bureaus for inspection or com marc and manufactures without loading that expense upon overburdened taxpayers. Hence w are opposed to appropriations treating salaried office of secretary of pro. Vosea trade commission. Salary Adjustments. Investigation Into character of work done by salaried state officers should be encour aged so that by discriminatory adjustment expenses may be lessened, efficiency in creased, or both. Information for Homeseekers. Publication of accurate and official In formation concerning resources of Oregon, either by the state or by the Oregon De velopment League, should be encouraged under state auspices and should be so stand ardised aa to bear the seal or approval of the state. Restrictive Legislation. legislation which visits new burdens upon manufacturing, transportation, public util ity, or any other Indsutry. should be post poned until Oregon can gaian benefit of ex. yerlence of other states Instead of beln the experiment garden for application of all new regulatory theories at the expense of in-egon Industries. Legislation creating municipalities or districts to compete at taxpayers' expense with private enterprises shoVwb postponed for similar reasons. Minority Stockholders. Legislation empowering minority stock holders to attain representation on boards of directors should be so safeguarded aa not to permit business competitors or others lib hostile purposes to obtain a small Vlock of stock and by securing representa tion on the directing board, obstruct, inter fere with and possibly destroy a beneficial business enterprise. The present laws amply safeguard rights of minority stock hwlaers and should not be amended In any way that will Jeopardize conduct of corpo rate business. Lease ef Mineralised Lands. Whereas. Development of the mineral re oun'M of Summer and Abert lakes, by par. tie under boud to perform terms of a lease recommended by the State .Desert Lanu Hward will make possible the establishment if a large Industry, employment of labor. Increase of the taxable wealth of the state, and a large direct revenue to the state as a consideration of the lease, and. Whereas, This actusl development would te of more value to the state than to te up the resources of said lakes in the hands of promoters; therefore, be It Reaolvod. That the Portland Commercial 'tub urge the Legislature to ratify tbe leases recommended by the State Land Boaard. Inltiatltve sad Referendum Petitions. Abuse of the Oregon system by petition peddling should b prevented. Central points whould be provided throughout the counties o thst Individual voters may demonstrate their Interest In a petition by going to sign same. Instead of being pestered at theu homes, shops and offices br paid solicitors. This would prevent duplication of names and many other abuses. Prison Employment. We approve the employment of convicts In the State Penitentiary at non-competl- j ttve work and we urge the enactment of j legislation that will segregate confirm! i criminals from new offenders. ki - be -,v. . .
