believe there will be no hesitation on
the part of any member of the legis

in the industries
which affects so many thousand in

Approximately 25,000 industrial ac

Compensation Law, occur in Oregon
each year. Considering the families
of these injured workmen, it is esti

In making the appropriations men
tioned it is necessary for you to know
that funds will be available so that
you will not infringe upon the pro
visions of the 6 per cent tax limita
ion amendment. At the time of pre
paring this message it was impossible
ot ascertain just the amount that
would be available for your disposi
ion owing to the fact that figures
were not obtainable from all sources.
It is the Intention of the secretary
of state's office, however, to have as
nearly exact figures as possible for
presentation to your ways and means
committee at an early date this week.
From pure estimates made at the
time of the preparation of this mes
sage it seemed likely there would be
from $300,000.00 to $500,000.00 ac
cessible from various sources during
the current year, which could be
drawn upon by legislative appropria
tion without violating either the
spirit or the letter of the 6 per cent
limitation amendment.
Stall Guarantee of Irrigation Bond
Interest
Article Xl-b of the constitution
was adopted at the special election
held on June 4, 1919, and provides
for the payment by the state of inter
est on irrigation and drainage district
bonds for any one or more of the
first five years after their Issuance.
The Irrigation Securities Commission,
composed of the attorney general,
superintendent of banks. and the some phases of criminal legislation

arc SO low iiul iuo r -ij; :i .
of manv injured workmen, who are
capacitated for any length of time,
are brou V't ' a 'l''"ce of want that
diould not prevail when the state has
undertaken to provide for its injured
workers.
When the legislature was in session
l year aRO. the prevailing opinion
, was that the cost of living would soon
begin to decrease For that reason.
It was not considered necessary at
that time to make a material ln
trease in the compensation benefits.
Two chances weie made, one in-
i i - u .. i ,i nn i
creasing tne aniui.ni. iu uc "" two-tenths
hjored worker for his children under about pay
sixteen years oi age irum w
fg.AO per month, nnd the ofjier pro
tiding that the awards for permanent
partial disability shall be in addition
to the amount paid to the Injured
workman for temporary time losw.
With the cost of bare necessities
eontlnuously on the increase, condi
tions In the homes of injured work
men continue to grow worse, and the
number of appeals to the State Indus
trial Accident Commission from in
jured workers or their wives for
greater assistance grow In number.
When the members of the commis
sion brought the situation to my at
tention, I decided it would not be just ;
nor fair to these sufferers to wait
another year until the regular session
of the legislature should meet to give
them relief. It is a condition which
rould be remedied Immediately.
Aj the Workmen's Compensation
law was originally drafted bj a com
mittee representing the employers,
the employes, and the public, I called
for a committee representing these
three interests to consider the pres-'
at iltuation and make recommenda
M' to this extraordinary session of
tfi legislature.
This committee was comprised of
fire members selected by the organ
fcatioh representing the employers of
the state, five selected by the organ
isation representing the employes of
the state, and five selected by myself
to represent the public at large.
This committee of fifteen met, and
as unanimously recommended that
Cat Increase of 30 per cent be made
n all compensation payments dating
tack to December 1, 1919. A cafeful
hvestiration Into the funds available
w the State Industrial Accident Com
mission indicates that this Increase in
"'-' 'ensation benefits may be made
-luioui an increase in the rates of
wniiuiu-.icn to thn Industrial Acci
dent Fund by the employers or em
ployes of fhe stale.
The special committee recommends
"t the increase shall be embodied
, , n emergency measure, and shall
, PPIy to all payments fallng due .be
tween December 1, 1919, and June
education of soldiers, sailors and
marines who participated in the great
war.
Under that bill a levy of two-tenths
of a mill on the dollar of the total
taxable property of the state is to be
included in the state tax levy annual
ly . This lew approximated slightly
over -$198,000.00 for the first year.
That amount is far below the sum
which will be required to carry out
the provisions of the act. In fact, it
has developed on the basis of an esti
mate made in the secretary of state's
office, that the sum raised by the
of a mill levy will just
the bills to the. first of
January this year with no actual
funds left available to carry out the
administration of the act during the
balance of 1920.
As you will remember, the bill pro
vides for the payment of $25.00 a
month toward the education of each
of these men, but not to exceed a total
of $200.00 in any one year for any
one man. This provides for aid dur
ing but eight months of the year.
Consequently we must make pro
vision for eight months of the year
in 1920.
I regret that I can not give you
exactly figures at . this time. The
number of applications for this aid
fluctuate. Some who have applied
for aid have dropped our, or prob
ably will drop out. But on the other
hand new applications are constantly
being received. So far neany S,0
applications have been filed. By as
careful a survey as possible under the
circumstances, the secretary of state's
office now estimates that $450,000.00
Will ptpbably meet the bills accruing
under the provisions of this act for
the current year. I make no sugges
tion as to the necessity, for providing
funds up to the time the next legis
laure meets, which -will be after the
first of next year, because on January
1, 1921, a new sum of money will be
available from the two-tenths of a
mill levy which will tide over the
situation until the regular session
convenes in that year.
I wish to call your attention to the
fact that the emergency board, being
apprised of the situation that would
arise, already has allowed the in
curring of a liability in the sum of
$300,000.00. As you are aware cer
tificates of indebtedness, allowed by
the emergency board, bear interest
at the rates of 6 per cent until paid
If an appropriation is made at thiH
special session to cover the amount
that it will be necesssary to expend
in administering this act during the
vear of 1920. several thousands of
dollars in Interest will be saved, in
fact a saving which will in a great
measure, at least, cover the cost of
this special legislative session.
I also respectfully call your at
further, however, that to legalise
such an electioi. would require a
special legislative act.
The attorney general has caxea at
tention to the fact that following'
the abolition of capital punishment
by the enactment of a constitutional
amendment to that effect, the legis
lature repealed a number of statutes
which provided for the carrying out
of the death penalty for commission
of certain crimes.
As a result, he points out, to mere
ly deal with the constitutional phases
of the question would not again
place capital punishment in actual
operation. To meet the situation he
has suggested that the legislature, at
this session, re-enaot those old stat
utes, or replace them wi h others.
By the legislature pursuing this
course, whatever statutes might be
enacted would become effective at
such time as the people remove the
constitutional inhibition against the
death penalty. "e
VhIle it is a matter solely for legis
lative determination. I would ba op
posed to the calling of a special elec
tion to be held upon any other day
than prirrrary election day. To hold
such an election upon any other day
would entail an expense of approxi
mately $100,Q00.00, or possibly more.
Held upon primary day the election
machinery used for the primary elec
tions could be set under way for the
special election and the expense to
the state would be nominal ut the
most.

of capital punishment I feel It Incum

"My troubles have been completely
overcome since I began taking Tan

I have had in twenty years," said
Mrs. M. Parker, of 423 East Third

"I spent several thousand dollars

continued, "but it was just money
thrown away, for I never got any re

became extremely nervous.
"Well, I have Just finished my

state engineer have encountered many
obstacles in the operation of the pro
visions of the amendment, and while
a number of changes could be made
to advantage, it being a constitutional
amendment, it can not be changed
by statute. However, it can be sup
plemented by legislation to advantage.
In order to pay the Interest on uis-
trict bonds, the state is authorized to
issue state bonds and it seems to
have been the Intent of the constitu
tional amendment that Irrigation and
drainage districts should advance to
the state each year sufficient funds
to meet the interest on the state
bonds, in order that the state may
stand in a position or guarantor of
interest on the district bonds with
out expense to it. However, no defi
nite provision covering this feature
was Included in the amendment.
The constitutional amendment also
requires the district to deposit with
the state treasurer certificates of in
debtedness, which bear Interest at 5
per cent per annum, both principal
and interest payable after the irriga
tion or drainage district bonds have
been pt Id off.
A statute should therefore be en
acted authorizing the irrigation and
drainage districts to enter into an
agreement with the state to advance
to the state semi-annuaiiy the inter
est on state bonds, the proceeds of
which are used to pay interest on dis
trict bonds, and should also provide
that the funds so advanced may be
credited on the interest accruing on
the district's certificate of Indebted
ness filed with the state treasurer.
Theh Irrigation Securities Corarais
sion should also be fully authorized
to enter Into such a contract In order
that any question as to, the legality
of such proceedings be eliminated.
Tt. mav be desirable to frame
new constitutional amendment, so as
to eliminate the objectionable feature
of the present amendment. The
only result of a failure to adopt such
an amendment would be to leave the
present amendment in effect.
Capital Punishment
Since the adjournment of the reg
ular session in 1919 a wave of crime
has swept ever the country. Oregon
has suffered from this criminal
blight and during the past few
months the commission of a number
of cold blooded and fiendish homi
cides has aroused our people to a
demand for greater and mort .cer
tain protection. Of all our assets
that demand protection and conser
vaation, none is greater in value thun
human life. The first object of our
laws should be for its protection ana
for that reason I am submitting to
you at this time some recommenda
tions relative to our criminal and
penal codes which I trust will have
most careful consideration.
Because of a series of dastardly
homicidi.1 offenses a distinct public
sentiment has developed that the
people of the state should once more
be given an opportunity to pass upon
the question of the restorp'ion of
capital punishment and that there
should be no unnecessary delay In
bringing this question before the
electorate.
Because of this urgency I am tak
ing the liberty of suggesting that the
matter of repealing the present con
stitutional inhibition on capital pun
ishment and enacting such amend
ments to our organic law In that re
gard as may be deemed proper, be
submitted to a vote of all the people
of the state at a special election be
held in connection with the regular
primary elections on Friday, May 21.
of this year.
At my request the attorney general
has examined into the legality '-f
holding such special election on p i
r ie'u.' the bottle- and
um i,..,7 Vard Lrrcr Whin.
1. A
which I deem of such urgency an to
warrant your serious thought. These
recommendations also deal with the
safety of the lives of our citizens and
consequently are of paramount Importance.
By watching the operation of the
parole law of 1919 with a careful first
hand survey I am satisfied that its
provisions are such, in many partic
ulars, as to have a tendency toward
placing the lives ani persons of our
citizens In jeopardy.
I wish to respectfully recommend
that your body so amend the parole
law that its operation will be sus
pended and that it cease to function
entirely as to all persons convicted of
commission of the graver crimes
against the person. In my opinion
the law should be so amended that
flat sentences be Imposed in cases
where conviction has been had on
charges of homicide In any degree;
rape, where violence Is an element of
the crime; robbery of any kind; burg
lary, when armed with a dangerous
weapon, and assault, with Intent to
kill while being armed with a danger
ous weapon. There can be no pallia
tion of such offenses, and I would
have the word go forth that Oregon
will in the future meet such offenses
with a flat penalty that will be car
ried out to the end. The only mltiga
Hon I would suggest would be to al
low the deduction from the total
sentence of a reasonable number of
days for good conduct, but this de
duction should be nominal and not
such a deduction as to make any de
cidedly .-appreciable reduction In the
sentence.
For all classes of crime other thun
those enumerated, I would slill lenve
the functioning of the parole law, but
with such amendment as I am about
to suggest.
For those of you who may not re
member distinctly the provisions of
that law I will say, In brief, that for
all offenses, except murder or trea
son, parole privileges are allowable
upon the expiration of ono-fourth of
the maximum sentence, minus de
duction of certain days as credit for
good conduct.
While I would make the law ap
picable for all cases except In the.
cases of men convicted for tho grave
crimes against the person, which I
have pointed out to you, I would In
crease the minimum sentence al
lowed to one-half the maximum to
supersede the one-fourth of th"
maximum now allowed. I still would
leave In effect the credits allowed for
good conduct. Granting of such
credits Is excellent In theory and has
worked well in practice.
The minim mi! sentence of one
fourth of the maximum, as allowed
by the law as it now stands gives an
Inadequate degree of punishment. As
a concrete example, a man sentenced
to one year In th penitentiary is en
titled to parole at the expiration of
cause some ot that class of prisoners
"make good" upon parole Is not a
complete solution of their prvolem.
The fact that many of such prisoner,
by operation of the parole law itself.
are allowed to" enjoy parolefrivileges.
sometimes after comparatively brief
periods of Incarceration, has a de
cidedly bad effect on the potential
criminal. By a stern and nyiehluin
application of the law in the cases
mentioned, the potential criminal
will realise what is awaiting him if
he oversteps the bounds of the law.
Rigid enforcement of the penalties
imposed I believe will result orten In
staying the hand that otherwise
might be raised t,o rob, to attack or
to kill.
On the other hand, reasonable
parole privileges, with minimum
sufficient lo insure ample punishment
for the lesser Crimes, will tend to
satisfy the demand for reformation
which all of us are anxious to see
worked out In the breasts of the
youthful and the less violent offend
ers against our laws.
During my administration a de-
rldedly serious effort has boon made
to use the power of executive clem
ency conservatively. in ail cases
wher conditional pardons have been
applied for no consideration has been
given such applications without first
receiving affirmative recommenda
tions from the presiding judge and
district attorney who acted on the
case. This rule may have been
deviated from in one or two instances
where the prisoner was in a serious
physical condition which demanded
prompt outside attention, but in those
cases proper precautions were ex
ercised. The parole board has used as con
servative a policy as tho very broad
nd lilteral law of 1919 has allowed.
That law, with Its good time credits
and the very low minimum estab
lished, has practically forced the
parole board on occasions to make
recommendations even against Its
Judgment. This situation should be
changed and because of Its serious
phases I earnestly urge your serious
consideration of these recommenda
tions that greater protection and
safeguards may be thrown about the
lives, persons and property of the
citizens of our state.
Ratification of Suffrage Amendment
It will be my pleasure to have for
warded to your honorable body for
ratification the resolution of the
congress of the United States of
America providing for an amendment
to our federal constitution which
will extend to the women of our
nation the right of suffrage. This Is
a mutter which I recommend to your
early attention and I am certain you
will not deem tt presumptuous If I
express the hope that you give your
unanimous approval to the ratifica
tion of this amendment.
Fish and Game IjcglHlutkin
Because of 'the relative value of
Oregon's fish and game life in all
that the state la endeavoring to ac
complish in the attracting of tourists;
in the move to make life better for
our own citizens, and in light of the
fact that It involves one of our great
est and most productive industries, I
feel that it devolves uisn mo to pie
Bent at this special session oi tho
leglslsturc some pertinent recom
mendation In regard to the fish and
game situation.
It Is too well known a fact to need
corroborative evidence from mo ihut
dissension nnd factionalism over the
administration of this Important
branch of state government has re
sulted In robbing It of its highest
degree of efficiency nnd materially
Impairing development and conserva
tion work. I iihhuidc that till who
have expressed conflicting opinions
as to the situation have done so with
honesty of purpose and tho best f
Intent. Itegnrdless of this, dtSHon
sion has been evident, the people of
the state have developed ditfrutit, and
a condition has grown up which de
mands speedy and effective change.
In prefacing my proposals ns to
what J deem the most, experiment and
essential changes I wish to say frank
ly that my familiarity with the situ
ation and with the temper of tho peo
ple In all parts of the state convinces
me beyond the shadow of a doubt
that unless some material and bene
ficial change are made the life of
one of our greatest Industries the
salmon Industry inuy be placed In
Jeopardy. In addition the conserva
tion of our wild game birds and fish
may also suffer and their propaga
tion may decline.
I have no Intention or desire to en
ter Into the merits of the various
controversies which have shaken the
fixh and game administration. Ke
, Hardies of what the merits of these
controversies may be, the far! r-
foreement of all laws, over the ex
penditure of all money and such
other matters as may pertain to the
state's administration of the wild
game and fish life of the state.
For your Information I will advise
that a week ago 1 called together in
Salem members of the fisheries and
game committees of both the house
and seriate to discuss various phases
of the fish and game controversy and
if possible, to formulate a bill for
presentation to this session.
As a result of that meeting such a
bill, I understand, will be presented
to you providing, in a general way.
for one commission with two separate
divisions within the commission, to
have control over the commercial and
sportsmen's interests, respectively.
With an additional member Independ
ent of the two divisions acting In tho
capacity of an arbitrator.
I still feel, however, that a com
plete separation of the two Interests
would lead . to more harmonious
relations.
But there must be give and take
In arriving at a conclusion where
many minds are thinking along many
lines and the best compromise the
legislature may effect which to my
mind will bring about harmony ,inl
good results will bo acceptable to the
executive office.
Whatever may be your disposition
of the matter, 1 wish to assert posi
tively that the chief executive of the
state should not be a member ot
either or of any fish and game com
mission. It Is not properly In line
with the sphere of his duties, It Is
not for the best welfare of the inter
ests to be represented, nor Is It prod-,
active of the best results. To separ
ate the executive office from a mem
bership on the commission Is the
right and proper thing to do nnd I
assure you would be a move meet
ing with my hearty approval ns a
move dictated by discerning wisdom.
The fish and game situation Is one
close to the hearts of many thous
ands of our people, it Is one of too
far reaching importance to allow
petty considerations to override and
overrule the big results that may be
attained. I am confident that, ns
representatives of tho people of the
state of Oregon, you will enter Into
a discussion of this question calmly
and dispassionately, with your minds
removed from local and personal
prejudices nnd with the slnglo goal
in view the greater welfare of nil
the state.
Conclusion
In tho foregoing message I have
endeavored to point out as clearly
and as succinctly ns possible those
matters of material and essential Im
portance which I have deemed most
worthy to present to you for consid
eration. It will be noted that I have
somewhat enlarged. In my message,
upon the scope of the subjects
brought to "your attention In the
proclamation convoking you tvito
special session. In doing so I acted
only after grave consideration, renl-
Ising full well the necessity of con
fining your deliberations to as brief
a time as possible to secure tne oet
results. Those additional matters
came to my attention since issuing
my original proclamation and pre
sented phases which I believed inuuiil
have your early and earnest attention.
With no thought of Intruding on
your legislative authority, I feel th.it
this session should not be opened- io
miscellaneous legislation and should
be notified to consideration only of
the subjects I have outlined, or mat
ters of similar urgency and Import
ance. I am certain everyone of us
feel that the expense of this session
should be curtailed to the minimum
and that none of us desires to extend
its time a solitary day past that
which Is nbsoluely necessary to the
traiihuctloii of Important business.
In making my recommendations. I
am giving you the product of my
best Judgment and they are submitted
to you for what they are worth.
What disposition may be made of
them Is for legislative action only ami
I desire to make It clear that durtoK
your consideration of legislation no
Influence, direct or otherwise, will
come from tho executive offices to
endeavor to swerve legislative opinion
In one direction or another.
All of us are profoundly mindful
of the responsibilities entailed lit thei
tasks set before us. All of us havn
the nlm and object In view to iisxlut
In what way we may toward con
tinued peace, prosperity and well be
ing In this great stste of our nativity
or adoption and I feel well nssurert
we will till look ahead to meeting
those tasks and accomplishing them
with earnest mliuls and conscientious,
honest effort.
