The Hackensack aggregation,

ture for more than thirty years
to name its commissioners or di

demand was accompanied, by a
threat that until complied with
other needed legislation would not
be passed? - ; : v :" ; '
The present law provides that
the commissioners shall be resi

Port of Portland. There are nine
commissioners; Three , of "them
should be elected by the legal
voters of that district every two
vear. -If. however, the citizens
ot. Portland, for any reason,
should deem it unwise to elect
their own commissioners,; but wish
them to be appointed by the State
Government, it Is then clearly an
executive and not a legislative
function. I can - find no sound
reason or justification for -the
oassage of such an act as this,
which legislates into office men.

be a party to such illegal seizure
of executive power. ,
In 1921 the legislature enacted
a law. transferring to the governor
the appointment of commissioners
for the Port of Portland.. This
law was referred to the Voters of
the Port District at a peclal elec
tion held on June T, 1921," and
by an overwhelming majority the
people of the Port District sustain
ed. that law. Dill. No. S 6 clearly
overrides and sets at naught the
will of the people as expressed at
that election. ' - ; ;
. V. I have been criticised for the
reason that I appointed five com
missioners for the Port of Port
land on January 27, 1925. Instead
of waiting until the terms of the
present commissioners had almost
expired. Please remember that I
did not remove' the present com
missioners,; although such power
is vested in me by the Moser Act
of 1915. I did name , five com-
m'fsioners to take office June 1,
1923, two- Democrats . and three
Republicans -men of outstanding
integrity and ability- and of pec
uliar fitness -for this work. ;
I appointed four members of
this commission In May, 1924, two
Republicans: -and two.. Democrats
men eminently qualified for the
position. , I have done my best, to
free the Port of Portland from
partisan politics. , It waa my ear
nest ' hope and desire thai . these
early -appointments would con
vince" all of iny sincerity: and pre
vent the bitter partisanship and
intrigue which have heretofore
existed. 'v. " i T , , ;
for months the public press of
the state has carried bold head
l'nes asserting that the legislature
would . strip the executive . of all
the appointive and administrative
powers possible. Immediately up
on- the assembling of . the legisla
ture a. systematic and careful can
vass was made, of its members.
P'edges were exacted and made to
carry out this program. ' I have
been informed that the original
program, was to Introduce one
bill, stripping the executive of all
appointive 'power,, and almost
enough votes were pledged to
enact such a law over the veto
of the governor. Realizing fully
the dissension and strife that

would ensne, and the jeopardy re
sulting to legislation necessary to
the welfare of the people of Ore
gon, "-'T early - announced the ap
pointments of the commissioners.
My greatest offense seems to have
been la my refusal to recognize
one certain faction. For many
years this faction has been the
dominating- figure over . every
meeting of the legislature. By
Insidious lobbying, by one method
or another, in has controlled vari
ous members of. each house, coer
cing legislation and preventing
the passage, of beneficial laws un
til this faction had secured its
desired legislation.. For the pro
motion of the commercial fish In
terests of this state, this element
has been largely. Instrumental In
securing appropriations from the
state treasury, within the last few
years, of almost $1,000,000. For
years this same faction has been
the dominating influence in mat
ters pertaining to the Port of
Portland. This faction, seeming
ly, does not desire to allow: the
taxpayers of the Port of Portland
district to elect' their own man
agers. Has old Oregon reached
that point in her career where she
must submit ' to the political and
commercial domination ot one fac
tion? .Will her people longer
countenance such ' vicious influ
ence and supervision?
With pleasure 1 would sign a
"biir giving the .people of the Port
land district , the right and privi
lege of. electing, their own commis
sioners'. The people of Oregon
outside ojt this district, and their
members of the legislature, should
not be, called .upon to name the
governors of this local commission
as is attempted in this bill.
I hope that this agitation may
bring a movement that will vest
in the citizens of the Port of Port
land district the right to elect
their own' commissioners.' This
commission is now spending more
than one million dollar annually,
and the many taxpayers Tin that
district should have the power to
govern their own affairs, 'and ths
legislature shonld be free from
the pernicious effect of this at
tempt to pervert the proper func
tioning of the' affairs of our state
. government.
