BALEM, Jan. 15. Speaking at a
joint session of tha sonata and house
In tho houso chambor, Governor
James Wlthycombe delivered his bi
ennial message to the thirtieth Ore
gon leglslatlvo assembly yesterday.
Tho executive reminded tho legis
lators' of their responsibility in lay
ing tho "foundation for a partner
ship betcen the stato and nation In
tbe matter of rearranging public
affairs and Institutions to meet a
situation that has borne no parallel
slnco tho birth of this common
wealth." That Oregon "render the maxi
mum degreo of scrvlco" to tho re
turning soldlora was tho first recom
mendation of tho governor. Refer
ring to Oregon's unparalleled patri
otic record throughout tbe war
being "tlmo after time first of all
states In the support of the country's
cause" he urged tbe law-makors
to every possible effort to provldo
proper cam for tho men who return
from service In the army and navy.
He said:
Opportunity Shown.
"Probably tho most Important
problom confronting the people ot
Orogon today Is the question of land
settlement, especially as it effects
tho returning soldiers and sailors,
who aro entitled to every encourag
ment as thoy return to civil life.
Wbatevor plan may bo adopted by
this legislature, it must offer some
thing tangible and must be prac
tical. Fortunately you havo an
opportunity to dorelop Oregon on a
buslncss-llko basis at the samo time
you aro furnishing assistance to
roturnlng service men and to citizens
generally."
Declaring that Oregon has approx
imately 2,000,000 acres of logged
off lands, privately owned. Governor
Wlthycombo advocated that, theso
lands be divided into organized dis
tricts, Improved .and allotted in units
to prospective settlers. Ho 'said:
riiinuclnl Aid AskiMl.
.."Thesu settlers should bo required
to make reasonable Initial payment
and to mcot unpaid balance on long
torm installments, at low rate of
Interest, following tho amortization
plan."
Tho governor also advocated tho
extending of financial uld In develop
ing farms, recommending n similar
plan in tho drainage ot swamp land.
Ho suggested that tho honorary
land settlement commission, -which
ho appointed a year ago to mako a
study ot this question, bo mado per
manent by propor legislation.
Anothor suggestion for aiding ro
turnlng soldiers Is that they bo given

more serious.
Tho question will bo thoroughly

ance was given that every effort will
be made to provldo places for the
soldiers.
In regard to tho situation at the
mill, Mr. Keycs explained that be
cause of the recent closing ot the
plant for its annual overhauling it
hod been necessary temporarily to
lay off men, but that with operations
again resumed returned soldiers
would be given tho preference in the
matter ot hiring help. Ho intimated
that a better opportunity might exist
in the woods than In the mill.
