SPEECH TEXT GIVEN Plain Statement of Recommendations Made; Many Phases of Gov ernment Discussed. I. L. Patterson, Oregon's new gov ernor, senses the responsibility re posed in him and in the Thirty-fourth Legislative Assembly for a regime of economy, as evidenced by his address tc that body when it convened Mon day. Though Mr. Patterson's election was effective January 1. his active assumption of the duties of the office did not take place until he took his mth of office Monday. i Governor Patterson outlined his recommendations to the legislature n plain, unadorned language. The full text of his address follows: Gentlemen of the State . Senate and House of Representatives: You have been favored with the rble presentation of the message of Governor Pierce, in which he has giv en you the benefit of information he has assembled and. convictions he has derived from his wealth of experience as chief executive of our state. His recommendations deserve our careful consideration, because they reflect a wide acquaintance with all the af fairs of state and a careful study of the problems of government. As his successor, I can not make a contribution from experience bo brAad and comprehensive, but in accordance with the command of the Constitution f the State of Oregon it is my duty end my pleasure to present for your consideration a brief statement rec ommending treasures and policies which, I believe, will make for the best interests of the state and the increased prosperity of her people. I appreciate very sincerely the hon or which has been conferred upon me by my election as Governor of Ore gon. I feel, however, that my election does not, in any way, represent a per sonal tribute, but that it has resulted from the demand of a majority of the voters of the state for a sound, econ omical, efficient administration of the work of the state an administration founded on business principles and performed in a businesslike way. You, gentlemen of the Thirty fourth Legislative Assembly, were elected to the offices you hold as a result of the same desire for economy and efficiency which directed the votes of the electors on November 2. Your presence here demonstrates the fact that the people of your districts trust you to carry out such a program. Kour election and mine entail a defi nite mandate from the people a man date for carefully considered thought ful legislation, aiming at economy effected by the only possible means: namely, a reduction, through efficient management, of the cost of govern ment. I hope we may work together effectively and conscientiously thru out this session to discharge the re sponsibility which the people of the date have placed upon us.

In removing the hose from the car a quantity of gasoline was thrown an the clothing of Mr. Nordyke and this was ignited from a cigartte that was being smoked by the customer while the car was being filled". Mr. Nordyke was so sovcrely burn ed that all the skin along the side of r.ne leg came off from the ankle to the hip, and he had burns on other parts of the body also. The car owner did nothing to relieve the old gentleman, but got his machine out of the way, and in the meantime Mr. Nordyke put r.ut the flames with a fire extinguish er. Dr .McMurdo was called from Hcppner and attended to the injured man, whom he reports as doing as well as could bo expected, as he Is very seriously burned. AMY D. INSTONE.

Thinking this perhaps the be9t way to let everyone know why I continued sending my children to school when one member of the family was taken with chicken pox, I am coming to you through the paper. It was well known that there were many cases of the disease in the school and my children were exposed almost daily, and I watched them very closely. Upon the first symp tom appearing with one of the boys 1 put him in a room to himself and called the doctor. No one except Mr. Cox and myself attended him and we were careful to use proper disinfect ants after each visit to his room. We understood there had been no quar antine declared and as we were iso lating the case the doctor felt there was no excuse for keeping the other children away from their studies at bchool. I only wanted to correct the im pression made with teachers and neighbors and the public in general, by sending my children home from their classes that I was intentionally doing that which would work injury lo others in the school, neither would I intentionally disregard the orders of .he health officer in matetrs of this kind.

SEES 5 MAIN ISSUES Walter M. Pierce, retiring govern or of Oregon injected considerable sentiment of human appeal into his farewell address delivered before the ihirty-fourth legislative assembly on Monday, in which he stated recom mendations on which the assembly should act. His address preceded 4hat of Governor I. L. Patterson, his suc cessor. In his opening remarks, Mr. Pierce declared, "At the close of my admin istration as governor of the state of Oregon I wish to express to the peo ple my appreciation for the great honor that has been conferred upon me, and for the wonderful oportunity for public service which I have en joyed for the four years last past. I am retiring in the firm belief that in the main my administration has been most successful, and that tho real accomplishments will become more apparent as the years go by. "In the fulfilling of the promise made in my first message, I am today rr turning the commission given me, as clean and untarnished as I re ceived it four years ago. Issues Pressing. "The legislature at this time should declare and outline a state policy on the following issues pressing for set tlement: "(1) Hydro-electric development; "(2) Reforestation; "(3) Taxation; "(4) Law enforcement; "(5) Irrigation." Mr. Pierce dwelt at considerable lfngth on the -importance of these as being the leading issues now con fronting the state, making a plea for uch legislation as will benefit the greatest number of people with avoid ance of control by any small group. Hydro-electric development and re- forestation he names first because oif their great importance, to the state, and the hitherto lack of foresight shown in the proper care and admin istration of the projects. Taxation has been Mr. Pirce's main study during his four-year term as governor, and his departing mes sage but reiterates his theories and proposals given out from time to time in the past. He recommended that the present legislature pass a law providing a graduated income tax similar to the tax sponsored by the Grange Income Tax bill appearing on the ballot Inst November which suf fered defeat, while tobacco tajc, tax on excess corporate earnbige, in--creased tax on insurance companies, and increased corporation fees were also included in his recommendations. "The situation demands that you enact legislation that will force an equalization of the (tax) burden," he told the legislators. Law Enforcement Better. Placing law enforcement as the fourth greatest problem confronting the state for solution, Mtr. Pierce out lined the underlying ca.uses of crime, giving luck of responsibility as th? main cause.

Congress Is in a .battle of the century, all its own, over the gov ernment's policy of poisoning alco hol. Senator Edwards of New Jersey is leading the forces which demand everything from the repeal of the Volstead law to a delivery of all correspondence between the Treasury Department, Wayne B Wheeler, and the Prohibition forces. Wheeler and the Antt Saloon League stand pat that the government is neither legally or morally guilty of "legalized mur der" for poisoned liquor which cost so heavily in human life dur ing the holiday seuMJii. By Arthur Brisbane A Dr. Work Who Works. Be Patient With Static. "Xmas" a Sacrilege. Christianity a Failure? Dr. Work, Secretary of the Interior, says of the 1927 outlook: "There is not a single distress sign on the whole economic horizon." Dr. Work doesn't sit at his desk, guessing. He travels over the coun try constantly, studying opportunities for national improvement. He knows conditions, and his opinion is import ant and encouraging. Should millions of women read of the death of Sir Oliver Lodge, Mar coni, MHUkin and a dozen other great scientists the majority would say, "That's too bad," and be not much interested. Every one of millions will be in terested to hear that Jean Phillipe Worth, the famous dressmaker, has gone to a land where there is no sew ing. His house dressed queens and em presses of state and finance, also young ladies with whom their sons ran around in Paris. His word meant more in real authority to the world's women than all the decisions of a thousand high judges. Be patient with static, when it in terferes with jazz music or prize fight news coming sweetly over your radio. Professor Pupin, of Columbia College says static and "fading," enemies of radio enthusiasts, really indicate that other planets are trying to talk to us. They send powerful messages that interfere with our feeble radio, and Pupin thinks we shall understand those messages within twenty-five years. If planets millions of years older than our earth could tell us what they know, our science might jump ahead as rapidly as a child advances in knowledge after it has learned to talk and read. We light little bonfires, heat steam, and thus obtain power. Mars might teach us to harness the power of the sun, and transmit energy without wires, which would do away with en gines or fuel on flying machines, and give us unlimited power. It is said that in this country there is more commercial "flying mileage" than in any other. For that thanks are due to Presi dent Coolidge and Postmaster Gen eral New, who have encouraged air mail routes. But flying back and forth by mail carriers, most desirable, does not mean building up national aerial defense. Our age listens indifferently to that news, but no man can exaggerate its importance. And for our commercial flying we depend on private initiative, citizens building planes that will "get by" and enable them to make money carrying mail, lhat isn t a government pro gramme, for promoting aviation. Clergymen are protesting against the abbreviated "Xmas," which re duces tho name of Christ to "X." The abbreviation is disrespectful to the most beautiful word in history, -and it is disrespectful to the English language. Anybody who was in too much of a hurry to write out Christ mas should not use the word. Wise men in Milwaukie will devote three days to discussing high ques tions, including this, "Can Christian ity be of any practical use in chang ing existing conditions?" Christianity has ben changing ex isting conditions for about nineteen hundred years, there is no reason why it should break down now. To "love thy neighbor as thyself," trying to help him, instead of trying to rob him, will always improve conditions if men mean it. Another suggestion before Con gress is to forbid experiment with an . scientific study of poison gas. The peak of absurdity is to suggest that we must not KNOW about poi son gises. Can we not trust our selves? CARD OF THANKS. We wish to extend our sincere thanks to our many friends, neighbors ;nd relatives, and to the various or ders for their kindnesses shown dur ing the illness and death of our be loved daughter, sister and mother, Mrs. Amj Instone, and also for the many Kautifu! floral offerings.
