. The Governor's Message
A plain, brief and straightforward message was read to the
legislative assembly as it convened in extraordinary ses
, sion Monday morning. Gov. Meier noted the limit of time for
meeting to be twenty-days, and then voiced what is the gen
eral prayer of the state :
"I appeal to yon, therefore, to test every proposed meaa
' - axe as to whether it be of vital importance to the state at this
time. Remember that it is only twelve months until you will
hare an opportunity to consider general legislation at a regular
session." ' -
The governor confined his recommendations virtually to
three topies ; provision for revenues for poor relief, enact
ment of control legislation for the liquor traffic, and relief
for the public schools of the state. Modification of the truck
and bus bill is made conditional in the message and the gov
ernor promises a later message on the matter of the Bonne
ville development.
After reciting-the familiar facts as to the history of ef
forts to care for distress resulting from- unemployment and
- the demand of the federal government for match moneys
from state and local sources, Gov. Meier recommends the al
. location )f liquor revenues to the unemployment funds until
. June, 19S5 after which the revenues should be distributed ac
cording to the plan of the Knox committee, 25 to the state
and 75 to the counties. "License fees should be returned to!
the treasuries of the incorporated cities or the counties from
which sHcfa license fees are derived." The governor is of the
opinion that these funds will be adequate to meet the relief
need; but if not the counties which run short may be aided;
by the issuance of "revenue anticipation certificates" payable
out of their share of the future liquor revenues.
On the question of liquor control Gov. Meier comes out
squarely for the recommendations of his committee headed i
hv I)T William S Vvrr Vim anilanM tti nlsn nf ia-4Kiif ?-n I
' of lard liquors through state-owned dispensaries, after the
Canadian system, and oppose sales of hard liquors by the
glass in hotels and restaurants :
"In the matter of sale of liquor In restaurants, the commit
tee draws a hard: and fast line between the use of naturally fer
mented wines and beers as beverages and that of fortified or
distilled liquors containing more than fourteen per cent by vol
ume of alcohol as intoxicants. The serving of the former wifh
bona1 fide meals in licensed restaurants is advocated, while the
serving of 'hard liquor by the glass, which will inevitably
amount to nothing less than the return of the old time saloon is
disapproved."
Revenue is not the prime consideration in the licensing
of liquor selling. As the governor says:
"We must not let the consideration that today's revenue
raising problem 13 a particularly pressing one obscure the fact
that the primary purpose of the liquor act is to secure a satis
- factory system of regulation and control."
Touching the distress of the elementary schools through
delinquency in payment of property taxes on which they de
pend for chief support, Gov. Meier suggests :
"Among other possible available sources of revenue to aid
our distressed schools, I would recommend for your favorable
consideration a gross earnings tax on public utilities. In this
connection I want to call your attention to the fact that the public
utility corporations in Oregon have for many years past enjoyed
- not only a continuous, fair return on their investment, as pro
Tided by law, but under the guise of dividends on watered stock
and excess holding company fees have also collected and ap
. . propria ted to themselves enormous sums over and above such
fair return. 1
"In view of these excessive profits which the utilities have
appropriated to themselves, it seems only fair that at this time
of distress they should contribute toward the maintenance of our
public schools, which, since their inception have been maintained
by our property taxpayers, who are now collapsing under this
heavy -bur den."
The trackmen gtt off with this paragraph in the mes
sage: . j ,
"Slue the naetmeitt hy yonr lumarable tody of the present
, measure for has and track regulation, protest has been made
that inequalities exist la the operation -of this law. XT such in
equalities esdst they shorid fee adjusted, but the principle that
basset and truck she-rild pay a lair return for the me of our
highways &eali Te maintained."
Wlate the governor nxge speed and limitation of work
to essentials and warns against partisan bias and needles
controversy; ths possibilitie of dispute m the aession are
many. The governor does chart the way ckarjy and the ses
sion will 4a well to confine its work almost entirely to the
program he outlines. One item is lacking; that of making
. more sfiriasent the matter of tax reflection rn order to reduce
delinquency. On the whole the governor's message is defin
ite and worthy of aerioas consideration by, legislators and
citizens.
Rockefeller s House CI earring
IT was John D. Bockef eHer, jr. who took the initiative in
' ousting CoL Eobert W. Stewart as chairman of the Stan
dard Oil company of Indiana following the Teapot dome in
vestigations in which Stewart was disclosed as sharing in
profits of Texas oil deals which were never folly explained.
Now it is revealed that Rockefeller was responsible for oust
ing Mrv Wiggin as chairman of Chase National bank after he
had led it into investments which resulted in tremendous
losses for the bank and its stockholders. The ousting took
place the first of this year; although Mr. Rockefeller and his
brother-in-law,. W. W. Aldrich, who succeeded Wiggin, did
not know the extent of Wigfdn'a personal speculations.
So the country will put down two white marks for young
Rockefeller. His example should be followed by other prom
inent stockholders of companies. Too many times the man
agers loct the companies, or ignore their interests while play
ing their own game. The small stockholder has no chance for
self-protection as it is now. While improved legislation may
give him a better run for his money, what is primarily need
ed is a finer sense of ethics on the part of men in business.
Preachers have a job as well as law-makers.

fBill," Patricia screamed aad
then again, "BOl." . '
There was no answer. The dark
ness kept its own counsel. It was
then that the girl sprang; to ber
feet and began to run. She bumped
into tables and chairs, frantically,
blindly pushing them aside, only to
stumble once more. How she found
the door she never knew. It waa a
rear door, standing open on a nar
row, winding alley. ,
She fled down the ; alley to the
deserted street. She reached the
sidewalk as a patrol wagon
screamed around a corner. She saw
it stop. Again she ran. Eleventh
Avenue was silent as tbe grave.
There was only the panic beat ef
ber feet and the, silently falling
snow.
Home, home, that was all that
she could think if only she could
reach the blessed security of borne.
Exhaustion slowed bar feet; fear
drove them on. She never thought
of tbe subway, or of a taxi. She bad
no money; she bad left ber pocket
book behind. She did not think of
that either.. Not then. She thought
of it at the ead of ber fraatie flight
when she saw the lights that blazed
from the familiar Irving roam. '
She stopped, trembling and ap
palled, at the very threshold of the
haven toward which she bad bent
all ber energies. Had the police
come for ber already? Had they
found her pocket book? Were they
inside newf She attempted to peez
through the windows but the shades
were tightly drawn. What did the
blaze of tights mean?
She stood very stilL She tried to
plan, to think logically and coher
ently, tried to convince herself that
she must go sway, must go soma
place ehrev At last she knew she
could go no where else. There was
no where else for ber to go. Hug
ging the side of the house she crept
past the lighted windows to the
dreary garden in tbe rear. There
were no lights in tbe bedroom.
The back door was unlocked and
presently she was ia the darkness
of the bedroom. She listened for
sounds from the living room, heard
nothing; Presently she quietly
turned on the light and looked into
the sleeping faces ef her little sis
ters. She sank to a chair, feeling a
strange sense of peace. The horror
was gone now. Just seeing the chil
dren's rosy, sleeping; faces blotted
eut the dreadful picture of BOl Mc
Gee lying ia a pool of spreading
crimson, blotted out the hysteria
and the madness that had followed.
She was sitting there when the
door from the living room opened.
Dully, ancompreheadingly ahe
looked up into ber stepmother's
eyes. Lillian Warren went first
white, then red. She closed the door,
crossed the room.
"Get out," she said to Patricia in
a low savage whisper. "What; do
