retiring governors.
' When all were assembled President

ing then made the announcement, of
the total vote cast for the various can

ur. witnycombe-duly elected.
Courtesy to .Mew Governor.
Retiring Governor' West was called
Upon -for the presentation of any mee
sage he had to give and more an
plauae greeted ' him when he rose
Governor West said :
"I shall depart from the usual cus
tom' of reading my last message be
cause1 I. desire that the Incoming gov
ernor a"ye the closest attention; He
has .been chosen by the people as their
executive for.' the ensuing four years
and no doubt will discuss the policies
no nopes to see introduced, the con
structrve legiHlation he hopes to see
enacted, it is due to him to have
your undivided attention. -
The time has come when politics
should be forgotten. The last four
years have given -us all a splendid
opportunity for that business. The
people demand economy and efflcien
cyiof government. I want to give the
incoming governor and officials every
possible assistance.
"1 wish to thank, my friends for
their many arts of 'kindness and to
forgive the members of the lea-isla
ture for the mean things I have said
ft them.- I am t going out of - office
rVellng'that- I nave- tried to the best
at my ability to render that service
which Js your due. , I shall make my
home here and hope to see this state
the greatest in the union and will not
-let '.any. political beliefs affect my
spirit of cooperation with the new
government."
t Frcwldent Thompson then presented
Governor Wlthycombe. who read his
Inaugural message. This required 35
minutes. Applause followed his refer
ence to the employment of convicts
and his declaration that economy must
bcffln at home. .
Mr. West was the first to congrat
ulate the governor , jlpon his speech
and the speaker, president and judges
followed. v
Governor Withycombo descended
from the platform to greet hundreds
of peopl who crowded around to
grasp his hand. For nearly 16 minutes
the crowd milled In the aisles and
lobby before Speaker Selling could call
the house to order once more.
" Kaslo By Asylum Band. '
Spirited music was played by the
asylum . orchestra, which also aang
"Tlpperary" so pleasing to the crowd
that the musicians had to repeat it.
Before the gathering opened, the mu
sicians discoursed national airs and
some .difficult classic selections with
spirit.
The committee which escorted the
judges and state officials to the
chamber was composed of Senators
Moser, Strayer And Representatives
Forbes, Huston and Thomas Brown.
Seats were provided dnslde the circle
of members' desks for the families of
the state officials and several Port
land women who had come to attend
the ceremonies. Aisles were packed
and -the crowd extended back into the
corridor. ,
RECEPTION AT STATE
EATON, LANE, CALLED
TO ORDER THRICE BY
SPEAKER OF HOUSE
Representative Forbes Takes
Exceptions to Remarks
About Report "on Rules.
Salem, Or., Jan.-13. While the in
auguration crowd still hung about the
lobby of the house yesterday after
noon. Representative Eaton of Lane
county, leader of the upstate contingent,-experienced
the sensation of being
called to order three times by Speaker
Selling. Mr. Eatoif insisted on discuss
ing the provisions of the proposed
house rules, although Chairman Forbes
had not yet submitted the report.
Just as Representative Cobb was
moving" to adjourn, Mr. Eaton rose to
a question of privilege and suggested
that Inasmuch as the rules committee
had completed Its report, the report
ought to be presented. He said the
lack of clerical help was already em
harrasslng the business of the session
and he felt that the members at least
ought to be studying over the amend
ed rules "because they are in such
a dilapidated condition that no mem
ber can know what be la voting for.'
Declared Out of Order.
Mr. Davey declared at this point
that Mr. Eaton was out of order, say
ing he was trying to get an adverse'
opinion2 in the minds of the members
before the report itself should be filed.
The speaker, railed the same way and
Mr. Eaton again attempted to speak.
"Out of order, called Mr. Selling.
"I am asking the privilege of ex
plaining to the members that I . have
had placed on each desk a printed
statement I prepared showing what
my suggestions for the rule amend
ments are. The committee has adopted
all but the first and second of these.
With the rules of the former session,
the members can know Just what the
status of the rules now Is."
"The house undoubtedly appreciates
Mr. Eaton's kindness in explaining
this," retorted the speaker, "but that
is not the question.'
(', . eport. About Beady. . ,
Just then " Mr. Forbes entered the
chamber and declared that Eaton 'had
absolutely no knowledge of what ac
tion the committee had .taken because
he had stayed away from the com
mittee's meeting ' today. He said the
report would be in shape to present
in the morning.
Mr. Cobb suggested that the rules
be printed and be In readiness for the
morning's study; but to this the house
did not assent. The debate threatened
to -last longer when Mr. Llttlefleld
trfoved to adjourn.
Peking, China, is to have a belt rail

Salem Boreas of The Journal.)
Salem, Or., Jan. 13. Aside' from the
comment and injured feelings of the
friends of four state officials and of
the retiring governor, who were over
looked or slighted In making up the
program or the first inaugural recep
tion held In Oregon in many years,
the reception given in the offices of
the chief executive last night to Gov
ernor, and Mrs. -James Withycombe
was a pronounced success. It was at
tended by 'probably 4000 people, in
eluding all of Salem's society folk and
many, prominent men and women from
other! cities and towns.
The reception was given under the
auspices of the Salem Republican club.
Yesterday some of the women on the
reception committee went to Invite
Mrs. Oswald West, wife of the retir
ing governor, to serve with the com'
mittee. This brought to light that the
retiring governorhad not been Invited.
Members of the Republican club com
mittee; say they forgot to Invite him.
Ponr Others Overlooked.
It developed also tnat the club com
mlttees had Invited all the elective
state officials except State Labor Com
mlssloner O. P. Hof f and the three
members of the railroad commission.
All of! them are'Republicans. All the
other elective state officials were in
the receiving party 'last night.
Thi4 was explained by a member of
the committee who said that the line
"must be drawn somewhere. But the
friends of these officials failed to un
derstand .the reasons for this apparen
slight,j and the absence of the officials
in me; receiving line causea consider'
able comment.
Stat Hons Is Decorated.
The state house was beautiully dec
orated with the national emblem and
flowers and greenery. The immense
crowds jammed every inch of space
in thej capitol lobby from 8 o'clock to
after jlO o'cloek. The reception line
was formed in the chief executive's
private office. s
In the line were Governor and Mrs.
WlthyCombe, Miss Mabel Withycombe,

night that "both ex-Governor West and
Governor Withycombe Included In
their messages the very, point he has
drawn a bill to cover. This Is the con
solidation of all state funds Into the
general fund, so that It will not be nec
essary to draw warrants and pay In
terest on them when there are vast
sums lying idle in the treasury.
Mr. Schuebel's bill, which he hopes
to present late today, provides that
all money arising from direct taxation
and paid by the counties into the state 1
treasury, all franchise taxes, sales of
products or material Interest on de-;
posits, escheat moneys shall go into
this general fund.
The bill stipulates that no appro
priation of funds shall not be consid
ered a segregation of money in the
general fund, but shall be considered
a credit In favor of th object of the
appropriation to th amount needed,
but no more. '
Mr. Schuebel makes exception In
the cases of boards which are self sus
taining, deriving their Income entirely
from the fees collected. He includes:
Soldiers home national fund, board of
optometry examiners, the funds of the
boards of barbers' examiners, dental
examiners and medical examiners, the
library contingent fund, the motor ve
hicle fund, the state fair fund, the
industrial accident fund, the board- of
