There will be no such control and the

One plan evolved by the governor.
and which doubtless will be elab

legislature. Is that of making use r.f
the segregated fund of the tate in
dustrial accident commission for In
vestment In farm unit enterprises
which would be established along the
lines advocated by , the land settle
ment commission. To employ the
segregated . fund In this-way would
require legislative enactment.
Funds of the accident commission
are now? Invested In government

is estimated that Sl.400.000 is at
ready invested - from the segregated
fund and the fund is growing at th
rate of 1300,000 or $400,000 a year
Governor Withyeombe believes
that money from the segregated fun-i
could be invested In farm unit woTk
with no danger of loss, and that the
returns would be In excess of 5 per
cent no der proper management.
The accident commission now has
about $400,000 surplus that Is. pot
segregated. The governor has In
mind , another legislative enactment
to direct this money to the constme
tlon of a hospital for Industrial -erro
ples-. -to- he-built on the campua-of
the State Medical college at Port
land. "The time Is ripe for this;"
said the" governor, "and the need 1
growing -constantly"- with - Increasing
Industrial activity In this state.? If
this action is taken I shall also en
deavor to have a branch established
for the. care of crippled children
from Indigent families."
The governor reiterated his oppo
sition to the 6 per cent tax law limi
tation amendment to the constitu
tion. .
"At this time especially, when the
demand for reconstruction and Indus
trial readjustment Is so great." he
said. "It is extremely unfortunate
that a state of so great possibilities
is limited by the 6 per cent obstacle."-
