THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE
: Governor Olcott's message, outside of a few features, is
the usual review of the condition of the state government
and its institutions and activities
And some good recommendations are-made concerning
the needs of the institutions in order to increase their use;
fulness. " - - . ,
Governor Olcott's suggestion that the Legislature take
action to curb Japanese colonization wishes upon that bqdy a
large task
But that is the place where it should rest.
Oregon should not fall into the mistake made in Cali
fornia, where the people voted into their constitution a fun
damental law against the holding of land by Japanese. '
Three words in the proposed treaty between the United
States and Japan will nullify that law and make it of none
effect . - . " . - .
Words guaranteeing the Japanese nationals in this coun
try all the privileges of the nationals of any other country.
Now California will have to back water, and this cannot
be accomplished by the Legislature of that state", it must go
to the Deonle: and the talk down there is concerning another
vote of the people on an amendment prohibiting all aliens or
their descendants from owning lands- -
While California needs immigration of the right kind, to
help develop millions of acres of idle lands
Just as Oregon needs that kind of . immigrants.
So this whole immigration matter is loaded with TNT
and filled with knotty problems -
Remembering that we all agree that the "gentlemen's
agreement", with Japan was a mistake, and that it has been
broken in ten thousand different ways by the canny, little
brown men (and women) of the island empire that nestles
against the coast of Asia and dominates that populous part
of the world.

LIKE MASSAGE,
"The governor's message Is
rather soothing in tone. Trying
to get the taxpayers accustomed
to having their money taken away
from them. It is hard to tell
whether it Is mesaape or mas
sage." So, the above does not refer to
the Oregon governor's mespage.
It refers to California's chief ex
ecutive's message. It is from the
Los Angeles Times.

Russia is having one of the
worst winters in its history, fam- 9VM' and not

result of misrule. The millen

not only failed miserably to ma

The address of leading Ameri
can Jews to their fellow citizens
f other faiths deserves the mosi
serious attention. There is noth
ing less compatible with Ameri
can principles than the organized
anti-Semitism which is one of the
most troublesome forces of Euro

If the Willamette valley mint
crop keeps doubling up, it will not
take it long to become a million
dollar crop a year.
By all means, there should be

the hemp industry was dove-tail
ing into the flax industry. They
go together beautifully, and profitably.
OLD AND TOOTHLESS.
The Governor's recommendation that the flax industry
it the penitentiary be abandoned when the industry can be
taken care of by private parties, and that a box factory
from the log to the finished box, be substituted, i3 a large
order. Such a box factory would necessitate the building of
a much larger wall, and the putting in of very expensive ma
chinery, and the erection of several new buildings, etc., and
then it would only duplicate in yrhole or in part the service
of many box factories, large and smalW throughout the state.
' The flax plant at the penitentiary provides all the year
around work now; and it could be extended within itself,
without a cent of appropriation, so as to do the work now
in hand much more expeditiously, and so as to extend, it to
the making of seine twines and other twines from flax fiber
H : Arid so as to also help build up a hemp industry, for
which this valley is now ripe extending that industry, to
the making of sack twines and other coarser twines, for
which we now send our money to the East, and to Italy and
other countries.
. , These things would be constructive; and they would not
interfere but rather help all other industries in Oreiroum:
end they would not take any new money from the taxpayers

A PUBLISHER'S GIFT.
i ' '" 'j i" ' " -
It is proposed to ask, among other things, at the State
air Grounds, for a new poultry pavilion. The Legislature
would find this a piece of constructive legislation that ought
to bear large fruits. The Puget Sound country has and is
building up great poultry plants; plants that employ many
people and bring large returns. Oregon is naturally a better
poultry country than Washington: we hav
soil, etc., and a slightly better climate for poultry. There is
no good reason why we should not have many more great and
profitable poultry plants; why we should not. add millinn nnrl
millions of dollars a year to our returns from the poultry

Will Help Commercial Club
With Reception for
Legislators
Fifty-two members of the
Cherrians sat down to dinner at
the Commercial club rooms at
six o'clock last night as part of
the regular monthly meeting of
the organization. So successful
was the meeting, and so popular
thej "feed." In connection, that
the j-organization voted unanim
ously to hold its regular monthly
meetings hereafter on the second
Tuesday of each month, begin
ning with a dinner. An asses
ment of 50 cents a month from
each member was voted and no
charge for the dinner. In other
words, the members will pay for
the dinner whether or not they
eat it.
Plans were made to co-operate
with the Salem Commercial club
in holding a reception for the
members of the legislature, to
welcome them to Salem, show the
good feeling felt toward them and
to tender them the courteities of
the club during their stay in the
city. ,
The matter of the state fair
and its needs wasvery earnestly
discussed. The nope was ex
pressed that the present legisla
ture would recognize the great
need of this Institution, the sole
mission of which Is to further the
interests of agriculture and live
stock in Oregon, by providing
suitable buildings on the grounds
to house the exhibits, including
modern stock barns, a new and
safe grandstand of sufficient site
to hold the crowds that desire to
mitness the tests c-f speed, and a
new poultry pavilion.
The meeting adjourned at an
early hour to enable the mem
bers, to hear the Apollo Club at
the Armory.
