on the verge of war In the latter part
of December owing to utterances of

of the severe criticism.
The government has been greatly
annoyed at having to deny the state
ments made and explain matters.
GOODRICH ENTERTAINED.
The following
for legislative action
subjects are discussed:
Taxation.
The experience of the last legislature
should be a warning to this not to
attempt too much ln the way of amend
ing statutes on the subject of taxation.
A general amendatory statute hastily
pased then, necessitated the convening
of the legislature in special session to
cure defects that Invalidated the same.
That the laws of the state bearing
between the upper and lower river fish
ermen and packers seems Irrepressible
and irreconcilable, and besides there Is
a lack of uniformity between he laws
of Washington and Oregon, and these
conditions add to the difficulty of ar
riving st a. Droner conclusion as to'
what Is best to be done in relation to a
most important industry.

It is possible that if a tax commis

frame a law to be reported two years
hence, beneficial results might be at
tained. This course has been pursued
in other states with partial success,
and it might be well to give it a trial
here. Much property escapes its Just

will ever be accomplished ln the way of
salmon propagation and protection.
Youthful Criminals.
One of the saddest things to reflect
upon In connection with prison life is
the large number of youths ranging In
years from 16 to 25. They are not of

December, 1903, amounted to $95,531,

80 per cent of this insurance Is upon
Improvements upon real property.
When it Is remembered that a very
large part of these Improvements carry
no insurance, and that property U
usually Insured for only about half Its
value, It will be seen at a glance what
an enormous valuation on this class of
property alone escapes taxation. The
assessed value of money for the same
year was $1,375,970. If any one Is In
terested enough ln the subject to give
it passing consideration, he will ascer
tain from an examination of the last
reports to the comptroller of the cur
rency made by the national banks of
the state, that there are many single
banking institutions that have on de
posit amounts largely in excess of
the total assessment on money.
. Normal 8chools.
In my first message to the legislator
I recommended the abolishment of at
least two of the normal schools of the
state. Instead of heeding this recom
mendation a bill was passed, but vetoed
by me, creating an additional one. If
those already established are to re
main as fixed and permanent institu
tions, it is the duty of the state to im
prove the service which these schools
now render to the people by confining
appropriations for their support to
their legitimate work of training teach
ers. There is Increasing demand for
tratnaA tpaMierii. The ! in
work of normal schools could be made; cause. The law. for the pun shment
far more effective for this purpose by: of this grievous crime are inadequate,
eliminating all preparatory work, and ; and deserters know that they have only

distances from the prisons, there are
few attempts to escape. With us, It is
safe to say, that a small percentage of
those confined In the penitentiary could
be entrusted outside the walls without
a strong force of well-armed guards
and steel Dortable cells ln which to
confine them when not at work. A
miirh lareer oercentage of them are
sullen, desperate and dangerous men
who would not hesitate to take life, If
the chances were anywhere even for
successfully eluding the guards.
Health Officos.
Health offices are maintained at As
toria, Gardiner, Marshfleld and Taqulna
Bay at an annual expense of $2700
This might with propriety be saved
to the state by doing away with these
stations. The United States maintains
a. onarantine station at Astoria in
charge of a capable physician, and
have assurances that If the stations at
the other points named are abolished
they will likewise be placed under fed
eral control. I renew my recommend
Hon of two years ago for the abolish
ment of the state quarantine service at
the points named, because I feel that
their establishment and maintenance
along the coast comes more properly
within the Jurisdiction and control of
the federal authorities.
Desertion of Family and Wife-Besting.
Desertion of wife and family should
be made a crime for which the de
mnv ha extradited from the
state in which he seeks an asylum. In

families under the care of private
charitable associations no less than one

After British Trade.
Paris, Jan. 12. The foreign office
has cancelled the concession of a lead

road from Swatow to Chaochou and has
regranted the concession to a Japan

Tucker was formally elected as for

scenes of enthusiasm.
