CARSON CLOSES CASE DEFENDING MEYERS (Continued from pageji sponsible for anything that may transpire at the prison during this hearing or as a result of It, but if there be any bloodshed the gover nor alone is responsible and he knows it," Carson charged In open lug his statement. "The governor Is playing with dynamite in directing his activities at the penitentiary. He has listen ed to the disgruntled statements and hearsay of discharged em uloyees that are poured into the cars of every new governor, but he Is the first to succumb to them. "He has heard and believed these stories like a child would believe them." Carson said that for this reason that no plausible evidence to sup port the charges of inefficiency and mismanagement made by the governor against Meyers had been offered; that what evidence had been offered was purely hearsay, and that practically all of the tes timony had had to do with the flax Industry, managed directly by the board of control and Colonel Bart ram and with which Meyers had no connection except to allocate pris oners and guards to the Industry, the defense would be brief in Its final statement and offer no wit nesses. VICTIMS OF IGNORANCE Carson charged that the governor In making many of the charges was the v ctlm of ignorance ana misin formation by persons not Informed as to facts. Statements made by witnesses that Mrs. Haley, matron of the women's ward, had been paid out of the flax funds was a sample ot this Ignorance, said Carson, ex plaining that Mrs. Haley was ac tually paid out of the prison re volving fund and that the money for her salary actually came irom receipts from the federal govern ment for the care of xeaerai worn en prisoners. "All funds received by the prison go from sources other than direct appropriation of the legislature go into this fund," said Carson. "Ac tually the money paid by the fed eral government for the care of Its women prisoners more than pays for the entire cost of the women's ward." All of the alleged salaries said to have been paid out of the nax fund to persons not employed In the flax department were paid out of tills revolving fund in a legitimate manner, Carson said. PROPKR PROCEDURE Referring to the governor's charges that Meyers had demon strated his poor business manage ment bv reducing the price of flax sold to the Miles linen mill under contract for less than the original contract price, Carson pointed out that it was general business prac tice to protect contract buyers by giving them the advantage of re ductions In market prices under their contracts, and that this pro cedure was perfectly proper and le gal, and that the governor knew It- The governor said at tne ouwei of this hearing that he was no urttyer, but the records of the su preme court disprove that state ment," said Carson. Do you mean that you consid er every person who has been ad mitted to the bar to be an attor ney" Veatch asked smilingly while the crowd applauded. WelL with the possible excep tion of the governor, yea," Carson shot back. no cor.TROL or flax Specifying how little of the evi dence offered by the governor and his witnesses was pertinent to the charge against Meyers, Carson pointed out that fully 75 per cent of the evidence submitted bad to do with the flax Industry, which to un der the direct control of the board of control and a manager elected by the board. Concerning the gover nor's attack upon the $100,000 oor rowed by the flax Industry In the fall of 1929 to pay the farmers for their flax, he said that the money was borrowed at the direction of the board of control, with Mr. Kay ab sent, and at the suggestion of the late Qovernor Patterson. - "This money was bororwed to help fanners, for whom Qovernor Meier has expressed such solicitude, and was good business. There was no thing irregular about it. If, as Mr. Veatch has suggested, the transac tion was illegal then the whole pro ceeding was Invalid and the property of the state never was pledged as security. "I am surprised that a man of Mr. Meier's business ability should quibble over such a trifle. If we are to conduct business on the basis of petty drill regulations we will get nowhere. Judgment must be used." Carson said that the testimony offered In relation to the duck lake maintained by some of the prison officials near Turner was petty and trivial, characterizing It as the kind of stuff we could "expect a monitor in the first grade to come up and tell the teacher." DUCK POND CHARGES The lease on the duck lake is held by Roy Bremmer and Warden James Lewis, "who Governor Meier said was the best prison warden in the country," Carson said. "There is nothing illegal about these gentlemen having a duck lake and the charges are pettv. The feed that was given these ducks was mere chaff like the governor's charges," Carson declared, adding that all of the grain fed to the ducks was paid for by the owners of the duck pond. Further indications of the trivial ity of the governor's charges, Car son said, were to be seen in the tes timony that two or three small shell boxes, manufactured ot copper supplied by Bremmer, were made by convicts at the prison. "All of this Is so petty and so trivial. We would have been much more complimented If someone had had the tlmerity to charge real graft. "We charge that the testimony and evidence offered was not only trivial, but frivolous and asslnlne. DENOUNCES CRAWFORD Carson declared that the only competent evidence offered as to Meyers' efficiency was that he was too efficient Too efficient to suit the taste ot disgruntled, drunken nincompoops." None ot the witnesses who test! fled in support of the governor's contentions had been placed under oath, Carson pointed out, adding that he did not wish to imply that all of the witnesses had been un truthful or biased In their testi mony, but that some of them know ingly did not tell the truth nor con fine themselves to telling of things of which they had personal knowl edge. "And what can you expect In the testimony of traitors, and some of them were traitors, one ot them an admitted traitor. He Is Robert Crawford, standing right out there." Carson pointed his finger at Crawford in the audience and started to tell ot his part In the bloody prison break of August 12, 1925, and Crawford attempted to answer him from the floor but was silenced by Governor Meier, who told Crawford to permit Carson to proceed. Carson then cited letters written by Crawford after his discharge as superintendent of the flax industry to flax buyers in England urging them not to buy Oregon flax as it was prison made by convicts. "A man who would be a traitor in one case would be a traitor in another," Carson shouted. "The whole case of the prosecu tion perhaps I should call it persecution has been based upon hearsay evidence. 90 percent of which was not pertinent to the is sue," Carson said. CITES HIS RECORD The attorney went at length Into the record of Meyers as superinten dent of the prison, enumerating the many Improvement made in the institution sinoe he took charge, the marked development ot the farming, stork raising and other industries at the prison aside from the flax Industry, the much improved morale and the greatly Improved cost of administration. "The percapita cost at the peni tentiary is now lower than at any time in 15 years," said Carson, and this in spite of the fact that the population of the Institution has doubled." Carson pointed out that during the blennium ending In 1924 there were 69 escape and attempted es capes from the prison; during the biennlum ending in 192 there were 27, and that the cost ot recaptur ing and returning prisoners to the Institution during this time was $1U.000. Since 1926 there have, he said. been onlv 12 escapes or attempted escapes, 16 prisoners have been re turned to the prison, and the total cost for returning has been $1000. "That Is the kind of inefficiency Meyers Is charged with." Carson said that the improvement In conditions was fully appreciated by those who make their homes In Salem. PRISON NOW SAFE "The prison is safe, and our homes are now safe. "Governor Meier has said that he doe not want the responsibility for any of these bloody convict holidays on hi Lands. I don't blame him, I wouldn't cither. But that Is right where It will rest If he succeeds In this thing." Carson said that he realized that In the manner In which the hearing had been conducted by Oovernor Meier It had been a trial of the members of the board of control for political reasons, and not of Mr. Meyers. "For the members of the board I am not called upon to make any defense they don't need any." Earlier In the morning the gover nor had read excerpts from a letter written by Superintendent Meyers to Senator W. F. Woodward, chair man of a legislative sub-committee which Investigated conditions at the prison, the object of the testimony being to disclose that condition at the prison were In poor shape. Carson produced a letter from Woodward to J. C. English of Port land In which Woodward praised the administration of Meyers at the prison as being highly efficient and stating that Meyers was In no way to blame for certain condition ex isting in the Institution. QUOTES GOVERNOR Carson also quoted at length from a letter written by Meyers to the governor on January first of this year in which the superintendent advocated that the legislature ask ed to legalize the merit system of further rewarding prisoners for work In the Industries (a suggestion later championed as his own by Meier), urging the appointment of a parole officer (which the gover nor has since done) and even ad vocating that for economy's sake this parole officer work for both the prison and the boys' training school, and in which he urged that some form of liability insur ance be provided for the convicts working In prison industries, a sug gestion which was turned down Dy the legislature. The letter also requested that committees be appointed from both houses of the legislature to Investi gate conditions at the prison fully, but this was never done. Carson made reference to the turkeys sent to state officials from the prison at Thanksgiving, ex plaining that most of these were privately owned and that eight of the 14 alleged to have wen de livered went to officials at tin pris on. GOVERNOR'S CAR Here Mr. Hoss interrupted Car- son to Inquire of the governor if it was any worse for Hie state 0111 clals to accept these turkeys than It was for the governor to send nis car out to the prison to be washed bv the convicts. Oovemor Meier admitted that his chauffeur took his car to the prison several times to be washed, but that each time the driver gave the con victs a dollar as a "chance to let them earn a little extra money. Carson asked if the governor did not know that this was a violation of nrison rules and charged that the records showed that the $1 had been paid Into the prison funds on only one occasion. Governor Meier said that he did not know anything of the kind, that he knew little of the transaction anyway, as it was done by bis "bov." No mention was made of the fact that the governor had received a case of broccoli from the soldiers' home at Roseburg, apples from the state hospital and that he himself had had ducks from tne duck pona near Turner. CASE OF BROCCOLI The governor said that he did not see anything wrong in having private cars sent to tne prison to be washed if it gave the convicts something to keep fhem busy and a chance to make a utile extra monev. "Not even If they were setting up a washing business In competition with downtown washing racks?" asked Hoss. Carson also charged that Meier's chaulfeur had been getting hair cuts and shaves at the prison for which ho paid nothing. "The only reason why you got by with having your car washed out there for nothing was that you were governor of the state of Oregon," Hoss stated. "If it was wrong why didn't the superintendent complain about It then?" replied Meier. HOLDS GOVERNOR NOT WHOLE THING Attorney-General I. H. Van Win kle, in an oplnlnon late Tuesday, held the chairman of the board of control did not have the power to overrule the other two member. A majority vote of two Is necessary to take any action, the opinion rules. The opinion was requested by the secretary of the board of control, following an action In the peniten tiary hearing when the governor overruled the decisions of Tom Kay and Hal E. Hoss In requesting a witness confine himself to relevant facts. Indian Mission School Destroyed Pendleton (IP) Fire of unknown origin Tuesday destroyed the In dian school at St. Andrews mission on the Old Oregon trail about seven miles southeast of Pendleton.

Roseburg Man Makes Refund to State Representative Walter Fisher of Roseburg Monday paid the state of Oregon $235. This sum is the re fund of $3 a day expense money voted by the 1921 legislature for the members.

About one-third of the members have re turned the money. Bridge Is Played At Rand Residence Sheridan Mrs. R. R. Rand was hostess for a bridge party Thursday afternoon at her home on the west highway.

CHANGES MADE IN TWO BILLS A miniature session of the state legislature was held at the execu tive office Monday, at which time two error attributed to enrolling committees of the two house of the recent legislature were correct ed. The little session was made up of President Wlllard Mark of the senate. Sneaker Frank J. Lonergan of the house, the governor, secre tary of state, Attorney oeneral I. H. Van Winkle and desk clerk 01 the two houses. One ot the measures was the house bill which reduces the rate ot interest on delinquent taxes from 13 per cent to 8 per cent. TO measure was amended in tne senate to make its provisions retroactive to taxes due in 1928 and thereafter. The retroactive cause however was omitted from the enrolled bill which was signed by tho governor. The legislative officials, acting ac cording to an opinion of the attor ney general and according to pre cedent, corrected the bill to include the retroactive clause. The other measure was In the senate bill known as the cream aradine bllL By the omission of decimal points in this measure the acid content of tne sweet cream was Increased from .20 per cent to 20 ner cent, and that of sour cream from .6 per cent to s per cent, mis error was corrected so that sweet cream would still remain sweeter than sour cream.

MOTT PLEADS TAX EXEMPTION ON PROPERTY Echo of the last session of the legislature were beard at tha Ki wanis club luncheon Tuesday when Jame W. Mott, state corporation commissioner and member of the last session, brought before the club the proposed constitutional amend ment providing that no ad valorem tax for state purposes on real pro perty or tangible personal proper ty would be levied. Mott said that government had made changes to meet condition In every depart ment but that of taxation, which remains based upon land as It did 150 years ago. The present system has outgrown its usefulness, Is ob solete and unworkable, he asserted. Land In Oregon represents 38 percent of the tangible wealth of the state with Intangibles the re maining 70 percent yet the land pays between 70 and 80 percent of the taxes while the Intangibles con tribute less than 3 percent, Mott said. He called attention to the Yeon building in Portland which contributes 30 percent of It gross revenue to taxes; to the Jantzen Woolen mills manufacturing plant which, according to teestimony pre sented the Joint committee on tax ation, had a net income in 1930 of $740,000 yet paid buc 1-40 of this amount in taxes while farmers con tribute as high as SO percent of their net income for this purpose. Mott held that the situation has gone as far as It can and that the problem must be solved In the near future. A constitutional amend ment Is necessary because liq legis lature will take the needed action as long as It can fall back, as it al ways does, upon land or real estate for the basis of taxation.
