WEST DEPLORES WASTE 'Ontrags thm Wsy toe Kesotirces of tae State Ssve Been KwiflW says Termer Oovernor. j. -. Seattle. May 19. (P. N. S.) Fed eral control of public lands,, timber re serres. water power sites and other " treat resources of the west offers the only solution of the conservation prob lem. State control has proven Itself In adequate and Ineffectual, and has re sulted In the virtual giving away, of millions of dollars worth of, valuable public resources and the dissipating: of the ' great heritage with which j nature endowed the western states. I These are the opinions of Governor Em met t D. BoySe of Nevada, expressed before the fourth annual conference of governors of western states In" Seattle today. Modified to some extent they are also the views of former Governor Oswald West of Oregon. Tney are not. however, the views of Governor George A. Carlson of Colorado. ; and in the dissenting opinion which Governor . Carjson advanced was found the choice ol material for discussion offered the conference today. "The states are simply clamoring for an opportunity to give away more of their resources," said. Governor Boyle. ."It is an outrage the way the re sources of the states have been handled," declared West. Governor Carlson of Colorado of fered vigorous opposition to the posi tion taken by Governor Boyle and declared that in his state- the j people were capable of handling their: public resources in a conservative manner bet ter than they could be administered by the federal! government. He de , clared that the people of the west should- be invested with authority to control and to regulate their owfn pub lic resources. Diseusston of the Ferris water; power bill now before congress featured to day's session of the governors and pro voked the opinions quoted. The prin cipal addresses were given by ex-Governor West of Oregon, ex -Governor James' H. Hawley of Idaho, Governor Carlson and Governor Boyle. j I As guests of the Bremerton Com mercial club the governors spent this afternoon visiting the Puget ! Sound .navy yard. 1 BISHOP SAYS HE BELIEVES FUND INTACT (Continued1 Prom Page One.) tfjes, and I am quite certain that the Principal of every fund is conserved. The total of the trust shows a gratify ing increase during Bishop Scaddlng's ehiscQpacy. so we have every rea son to believe that even though there are no accounts available showing the receipts and expenditures of i these years, undoubtedly they were account ed for to Bishop Scaddlng from time to time. I roat Hot Subject to Keport. ' "The bishop's fund, as this trust is ' called." continued Bishop Sumner, "is a fund the management of which is left entirely - in the hands of the bishop. The income is expended for such objects as. the vataus donors In dies ted when " they " established, the fund. Failing to do this, the Income is expended as the bishop may desire. "Myi predecessors have not felt called upon to report to the convention the amount of the 'fund. In this they were perfectly within their rights, and I haven't a doubt they acted with wis dom." i i ; - : However, Bishop Sumner said that at the outset of his work as bishop he wished to tell the disposition he had made of the bishop s ' fund. He said that a certified public accountant had been appointed as financial agent to look after the accounts, that the First National bank had been appointed treasurer of the funds, and that a reputable real estate firm has- been placed in charge of the real estate to conserve and improve it. The mort gages would be handled by Rodney I Ulisan and William MacMaster as here tofore, he said. "How better could I safeguard the fund than this I do not know." said the bishop. ; Bishop . Sumner called attention- to the canon requiring parish treasurer to be bonded, and asked that it be en forced. . -. j . . Pension System Indorsed, He -indorsed the pension system for aged atid retired - clergymen, and urged that premiums ion pension poli cies be paid promptly, v ' Particularly was he interested In pensions, he said, so that the clergy could devote all their time and thought to the things of the church, without worry about old-age. 1 1 beg of you, my clergy, he said, do hot be emptied Into the marts of trade and commerce. The work of the world is not our work. : We ae spe cialists in God's work, and In this age of specialization, as in any other age. we can best do God's word by having; a mind and spirit single to his work." One of the cardinal virtues of the church in ' Oregon, the bishop said, should be - its diocesan ' missions. - He warned the parishes against becoming self-centered, and urged that they should "give abundantly that others in Oregon may have the word of -God and the sacraments. , Would Eliminate Grants. Referring to the grants given Ore gon annually ; by the general mission. ary board of the church. Bishop Sumner said he should never be -sat isfied as long as Oregon is receiving these grants. " ' "Next year I hope that we can ask for a reduced grant, at least," he said. and continue to receive leas and less each year until we are standing alone." "Heartily opposed" was the phrase employed to express his attitude to ward mortgages to Obtain funds for chuich purposes. "I believe It is easier to raise funds for work in advance than afterward," he said. "It Is an pnlnsplring and deadly load and task, this carrying of interest charges." The Good Samaritan hospital was commended to the support of the dio cese, with the recommendation that steps be taken at once to build a new Wjing to take the place of the prin cipal part of the present building. The bishop said that for this work a benefactor . is wanted, as is also the case, he said, with St. Helen's ball, which , he proposes to rebuild. He said that wealthy citisens of Portland arid Oregon, irrespective of religious faith, would give of their means. St. Belea's KaU Prosperous. Despite the loss of its building; the bishop reported that St. Helen's has had a prosperous year, and that the mother superior of the order of the Sisters of St. John, who was in Port- j land in March, pledged continued sup- j port for the institution,, so that Port land people may not worry about the maintenance, but may devote them selves to provide a new building, either on the old or a new site. St. Elizabeth s boose tbm bishop re gretted had been closed, but the hope is that It may be reopened. Scadding house, he ' said, should be put on a more substantial basis. As to the Bishop Scott school for boys in Yamhill county. Bishop Sum ner reported that It had failed as an institution. The present location, he said, in unfavorable and even inacces sible as a site for a school. Last year there were six pupils, this year an average'of- 10. The Beflclt -last year was nearly 18000. ... B era ad to Be Deficit. , There is bound to be a deficit each year., of that I am certain, said th bishop. He recommended that the school be closed, and application made to the courts for the right to dispose other wise of the fund left for the support of the institution. t 'I am sorry that I have bad to deal with, temporal matters ; so largely In this, my first charge T to you," said Bishop Somner in conclusion.' I hope that next year the things I have to say will be : more of a spiritual nature. For It matters not how prosperous we make the . church financially. If It lacks Christian fervor, spiritual fire, all our works will be dead." Communion was administered, Bishop Sumner being assisted in giving the sacrament by Dean Ramsey and Rev. T. F. Bowen of St. Michael's and All Angels church. . . : The' business session of the diocese convened at Trinity parish house at noon.
