Editor end Publisher The Governor's Message Oregon has the best executive in the history of the state If you don't believe it, read the biennial message of Governor fierce. Of course fact and fiction are strangely uienuea, dui the governor is a master of the art and is very far from hating himself. He has fulfilled every campaign pledge and kent the faith at least he says so. The Governor almost sheds tears over the defeat of the income tax, whose double taxation worked such an injustice that the people repealed it as spoiling his program of cutting taxes by increasing them yet there has been no diminution in payrolls or expenditures, but a number of new barnacles have attached themselves to the ship of state. In a message of 10,000 words, there are naturally many good and constructive recommendations. It is too bad that on most of these the Governor was lukewarm or vacillating when he had the opportunity two years ago with a friendly legislature to force their enactment. It is to be hoped though, that the meritorious suggestions will be favorably acted upon. Among these recommendations that the legislature should seriously consider is the consolidation of state boards, a severance tax on timber, amendments to the Blue Sky law, making the Industrial Accident, Public Service and Fish Commission self-sustaining, the repeal of the state guaranty of interest on irrigation bonds, increase in the salaries of the justices of the supreme court, and reorganization of the methods of handling the irreducible school fund. As for the Governor's desire for a probe of the affairs of the stAte prohibition commissioner, whose many scandals have shocked the state, there is no question of legislative action. Nor is there of investigation of the other depart ments desiring clean bills of health. In fact, investigations promise to be a leading feature of the session. Simplifying Enforcement Elimination of special enforcement officers and restoration of authority to the duly constituted peace officers well deserves the attention of the legislature as a means of simplifying government and reducing taxation. The present divided authority makes for confusion and inefficiency as well as high taxes. We have one set of expensive special officers engaged in enforcing prohibition laws, another set engaged in enforcing game laws six months in the year and loafing the other six ; we have another set engaged in palroling highways for speeders, in addition to numerous volunteers engaged in snooping and meddling for pleasure. These three sets of official enforcers all require offices and overhead expense, bureau heads and staffs to do the work that can be done and should be done by the regular peace officers, the sheriffs, constables and police, as part of the days work at a fraction of the cost. The most efficient work in enforcing prohibition is done by these duly constituted officers, whose record in still seizures and boot-leggers arrests puts to shame the record of the special dry squad. The game laws can be more thoroughly and better onioned by the sheriff, with special deputies in season than by the game wardens, saving the money now spent for enforcement for propagation. The road laws can also be as well enforced by the sheriff's deputies as by a special squad of speed cops. This is a simple way to save money, eliminate waste, effect economy and increase efficiency. It will be a return to fundamentals well worth while, for it will substitute responsibility and knowledge of the law, along with courtesy, tor irresponsibility, ignorance and insolence. f PLAYS LINCOLN I Tonlsht the Salt-in high nchool baski'lliull quintet will lai-klo Hie fast Lincoln hiKh mhuol ot I'orl lund on tho local floor.

Good morning, Mr. Kvanj. I'm three short rins as though to an nounce himself, and then with glance about, aa though to make sure that no one was watching, he produced a latch key and opened from The Blade. Have you any the door. thing to ea en the fr'oss murder? We know that you and hUa Rath lyn Leonard found the body. The police seem to be up a stump." "Sorry. I have nothing to say now. I am on my way to the In quest. You probably saw the po lice blotter. There la nothing to add to what I aald to them last night. I found the body In front ot the home where I was calling la Greenwich Village. I bad just rung the bell. As the door open ed and the liht shone on the aide walk I saw the man, who I first thought was drunk, was dead, and that It was Elton poea. "The police aoon appeared and took the body to the morgue. I told them all I knew about the mat ter." Evan a was edging away all the time, but the reporter followed. "You were calling on Miss Leon ard, were you not?" he asked. "Yea, I had been at the theatre where my new play la showing. Alias Leonard, whom I had Invited to go with me, but who was unable to go had made me promise that C would drop In for a bit ot sup-; per after the show," "Rod." Dick Starmount broke in, "we must go. we'll be late. We must get Kathtyn. The Inquest Is at ten o'clock." Vou knew Mr. Fuss?" persist ed the reporter. "Of course I knew him. Every man connected with the theatre of New York knew Elton Foss but you really must excuse me now." Tho two men finally managed to get rid of the reporter and drove down to Kathlyn's house. Arriv ing there, Rodney gave the bell le mlehty glad you'se come. Mr. Evans," the negro maid eaid. "MiAS lv-.it h lyn la just about the bickest even was. When I got here a little while ago she didn't know me a tall. Be wai jest lying there on her bed eoughln' and burnin up with fevah. fine ditln't even know me. l'se tried to get you on the phone, but you wuan't dere. She was coughin so hard that I thought che was goin' to choke to death. I'se alrtady gone aroun the corner and sot a ductnh. He aays Miss Kathlyn has got the pneumoiiin. He done eent for a i.urse and tol' me I must call up her friends. When Miss Kathlyn's well it "cni8 as though ehe has all the friends in the worl. but she ain't got none a tall when sheV sick." While the maid talked. Rodney unceremoniously went around the big dtvan that formed Kuthlyn's bed at night. The nurse had not arrived. Kathlyn seemed burning with fever. She turned her head from aide to side and coughed in a way that seemed as though it might shut off her breath at any moment. "Call the doctor again, Mandy." Rodney aald in alarm. "You talk to him, Dick. Get him here a. soon as possible. If he is not there get somoone else. I think she Is djinff. "Did you say, Mandy, that a nurse had been sent for?" "Yas. Tho ductor said she was goin 'rive hero any minute." Hod bent over the bud again. "Kathlyn, it is Rod. Oh, Kathlyn, don't you know me?" There was not even an answer ing gleam in the girl's eye. The bell Bounded. That must be the nurse," exclaimed Dick as he went to the door. Instead, he found twe re port ere. "We've come to sea Mise Leon ard" "Gentlemen, It la Impossible for anyone to see Miae Leonard at present. Mr. Evans and I found her apparently unconscious and the doctor says that she ia serious ly 111 with pneumonia. She did not recognize either of us. We are wait ing for the doctor und the nurse to return and she shall be taken to the hospital." Fortunately, at thia moment the doctor and nurse arrived. Rodney had never seen the young man who announced himself im Doctor Johnson. "Gentlemen, I shall have to ask you to call later." the physician said. "Miss Leonard Is seriously ill and must not be disturbed." "I don't think I shall disturb Mis Leonard. I am a very close friend of hers." "Yea, I know, Mr. Evans. I have often seen you at the garage where you park your car." TFiiorrow Kallilyn's Family.
