SAYS; OPPOSITION
JO BE EXPECTED TO
I BONDS IN SALEM
Whitney L Boise Makes Reply
to Tom Kay's Remarks Regard
ing Reconstruction Measure.
LEFT TO VOTERS' JUDGMENT
Conditions of Unemployment at
!, Time of Election Will Have
Influence in Public's Decision.
"Tom Is always on the knock all
round." .Thus, comfortably, Whitney
X. Boise, chairman of: the Oregon de
velopment bureau of the Chamber of
. Commerce, "disposed this morning: of
former State Treasurer Tom Kay's re-
. ported opposition to the $5,000,000 recon-
- gtruction bonding bill which is to appear
Dn the ballot at the special state elee
. Jlon tn June.
" "When the legislature ordered the re
construction measure to be placed on
Jhe ballot," continued Mr, Boise, "there
pva.8 adequate evidence of an acute un
employment problem In the state.
T. The continuance of an acute tinem-
: jplayment problem places upoiV the peo
ple of OreKon the emergency Vecessity
"tot meeting tt. We do not ivantynen to
$e out of uork the men releasedby the
ibando'nment of war Industries, owe sol
diers returned from their glorious
achievements In war, or any others.
' tp to Judgment of Toters
"If there is evidence immediately be
fore the election that the unemployment
problem Is no longer acute, the people
can use their own Judgment. I am con
fident that the vote cast by the citizens
: 6f this state will be In accord with the
jsecessity.
"Now, as to the objects of expenditure
"for the proceeds of the $5,000,000 bond
tasue :
. h "The construction of state buildings-
new penitentiary, asylum, several
firmorles -throughout the state, and so
forth ia proposed. There was showing
. that the penitentiary Is needed at once,
but the legislature could not appropriate
-tor it because of the 6 per cent limita
tion. Som of the other buildings do
jiot constitute an emergency need but
represent, rather. An investment for the
- future. They will be needed and to
build them will furnish employment at
: Jkhe present time and provide for the
future.
. i Immediate Employment ProTlded
"The land settlement provision of the
I proposed reconstruction bond issue in
terludes a considerable amount of imme
' iate employment and all the work done
would be In the direction of home mak
ing. Thus powerful impetus would be
given .to the thing which we all agree
in necessary and desirable state de
velopment. None of the money spent
for land settlement would be lost to
- ' the state for It would constitute a re
' volvlng fund to be used over and over
again.
v "In short, if unemployment conditions
. justify the voting of the bond Issue the
money will all represent Investments of
high order and the objects are worthy
of public support, sooner or later, on
their - own merits. If there Is not an
emergency in unemployment when the
time for the election draws nearer It
will be difficult to ascribe an emergency
character to the work proposed.
Expected Opposition In Salem
"I anticipate, however, that Salem
..will oppose the bond issue. Salem
views with alarm the departure of pub
, Jlc money for use in other parts of the
state. Salem resents the presence of
ihe University of Oregon buildings at
, Eugene, the Oregon Agricultural college
at Eugene, the State Normal school at
-Monmouth, the asylum at Pendleton and
the medical school at Portland. Salem
' would rathrr, I am sure, lose' the ne
. ,wite"ti-v, (linn have state funds go
Into public buildings, no matter how
. imiily uenled, elsewhere. Salem has so
, long lived on state institutions that it
Is jealous of its privileges."
