Invested Here.

FREE SPACE CONDEMNED
Publishers Entertained at Banquet
Given by Commercial Club and
ex-News Writers Deep Chan
nel Project Indorsed.
AliEM. Or., Nov. 6. (Special.) Sev-enty-flve
editors ana publishers from
all parts of the state convened here to
day for the two-days' annual meeting
of the Oregon State Editorial Associa
tion. The sessions are being held In
the Hall of Representatives at the
State House.
The convention today listened to ad
dresses by newspaper men and others
upon subjects of special interest to the
profession, and was entertained at two
banquets riven by newspaper men now
holding state offices, and by Salem
Commercial Club.
Governor Withycombe. who Teturned
from San Francisco at noon, spoke in
formally to the newspaper men, dwell
ing upon the importance of Oregon of
fering a "square deal" to invested
capital.
Fair Deal Urged for Capital.
"I am absolutely opposed to pros
trating ourselves in any way in in
ducing Investors to come to Oregon,"
said the Governor. "I am against any
thing even approaching the extension
of special privileges. However, I do
believe it is imperative that Oregon
build up a reputation of offering real
Inducements and safety and square
dealing to those Investors who would
place their money here.
"I believe the press of Oregon should
make it clear that we are desirous of
having investors in Oregon. Progress
lveness in legislation is excellent and
the safeguarding of labor is of prime
importance, but this can be accom
plished without sacrificing the in-
vestor."
The association Indorsed a resolution
offered by E. II. Flagg, of Warrenton,
favoring terminal rates for Astoria and
Lower Columbia River points. E. Hofer,
of Salem, suggested that the resolu
tion be referred to the resolutions com
mittee, but objection was made and
the resolution was adopted unani
mously. President Brodle Makes Report.
The programme tomorrow will con
sist of addresses, consideration of reso
lutions and election of officers. The
editors will be entertained by Dr..E,
Lee Steiner, superintendent of the Ore
gon State Hospital for the Insane, and
by the Board of Control tomorrow noon
at a luncheon at the hospital. They
will then visit the penitentiary and
witness an exhibition game of base
ball by the prisoners.
The session opened this morning with
prayer by Dr. T. B. Ford, district su
perintendent of the Methodist Epis
copal Church of this city. R. J. Hend
ricks, publisher of the Oregon Daily
Statesman, Salem, gave the welcoming
address and E. IS. Brodie. president of
the association and publisher of the
Oregon City Enterprise, responded and
gave his annual address.
That publishers of Oregon should op
pose attempts to nil their papers with
free political advertising was one of
the suggestions advanced by Mr. Brodie-.
He declared that when the paper had
supported the party platform and the
head of the party ticket that its duty
had been performed.
Own Business Neglected.
"Oregon editors boost everybody's
business, but their own," declared
Joseph P. Hurley, editor of the Wash
ington County News-Times, in a speech
on the subject of "What Is the Matter
With Newspapermen and Printers of
Oregon?"
Elbert Bede, of the Sentinel, Cottage
Grove, and A. E. Voorhies, of the
Rogue River Courier, Grants Pass,
. gave addresses respectively on "What
Editors Say" and "System In Various
Departments."
In the arternoon Arthur H. Deute. of
Portland, spoke on "Co-operation Be
tween the Press and the Agency," af
ter which there was a brief discussion
on points brought out in Mr. Deute's
talk.
Frank Davey, formerly publisher of
the Harney County News at Burns, and
now bookkeeper at the Oregon Peni
tentiary, explained the workings of
the parole law to the editors and other
faots in connection with the prison and
its government.
' Convict Reform Is Object.
"The desire of our Governor and all
fflcials connected with the conduct of
the Penitentiary,' said Mr. Davey, "is
to improve conditions there and turn
out better men from its walls."
The need of better methods in the
administration of county affairs was
emphasized by Rufus Holman, Multno
mah County Commissioner, in an ad
dress on "Some Things of the First
Importance to the Development and
Prosperity of Oregon and Their De
pendence Upon Accurate and Honest
Publicity."
Mr. Holman declared that until 1913
Multnomah County had conducted her
county busines along the same meth
ods as in 1861. The necessity of good
roads in Oregon and their ultimate
economy was brought .forth.
Other speakers of the afternoon
were Eric W. Allen, of the department
of Journalism of the University of Ore
gon, who spoke on "Some Recent Im
provements in the Teaching of Jour
nalism in the Universities"- P H.
D'Arcy, Salem. "Pioneer Editors' and
Printers of Oregon," and John F Car
roll. Evening Telegram, Portland.
