to Mien governmental reionus a
make for reduced expenses and in
created effieieney, I urn pleased to
submit for the consideration of your
honorable body this, my Inst messnie
as governor of Oregon.
The four years just past lme giv
en ns much constructive legislation.
While other periods have brought
great fundamental changes in our
governmental system, none has pro
duced legislation which has covered
such n broad field nnd yielded sneh
splendid results.
Constitutional Changes
The long-fought battle of the peo
ple for uiuendinents to our federal
constitution which would jtennit the
imposition of nn income tux mil the
election of senators bv a direct vote
of the people has been won. Our
legislative bodies were prompt to rat
ify these amendments and Oregon is
thereforo listed in the group of pro
gressive state1? claiming credit for
'lie rit r'fnrns
ihe fight for ' Mitfr
'dr-'' state hns been successful. Ad
ditional safeguards have been thrown
around the ballot through extending
the non-voting period of the newlv
arrived alien and the old barbarous
svstem of ennitul punishment has
been abolished.
ConMriictlve Jmwh
Xunierous laws hnve been jtasoed
whHi create u broad olicv making
for the conservation nnd development
of our resources. TliC!c laws have
aided the investigation of numerous
irrigation and ower ttosMbilities nnd
the construe'ion of the Tumnlo Irri
cation Svstem: have mnde provihions
for n state forester and the protec
tion of our t ember nirninbt fire: have
led to a thorough studv of our min
eral resources; have mnde liberal pro-
iions for the Totnntion nnd -ro-teetion
of our fish nnd pime: nnd
hnve provided for Ihe publication of
i booklet "ivii" unvnmiched iufonnn-
tion as to opportunities in Oregon.
A budget system which enrries to
the public the needs of the different
departments of state has been "ro-
vitleil for, also the nttditing of tlte
account of state nml couutv offi

splendid banking laws are in effect
and steps have been taken towards
the regulation of loan sharks.
Needy mothers have been given aid
through the widows' pension net. The
workmen's compensation net and
minimum wage law have been passed
in the interest of tho working clashes;
shorter hours of labor have been ob
tained; tlio prison contract system
has been abolished and prison labor
taken out of competition with free
labor.
Good llouils Imwh
The transfer of the Oregon City
U from piiMite to public control
has taken place ami tho recovery of
tho Jeffeison street levee (Portland,
Oregon) is nu accomplished fact.
Good roads legislation has enabled
the stato to co-operate with tlio coun
ties in road building and to work its
convicts upon tho public highways.
Tho ocean beach has been reserved to
the public for a highway.
Laws aimed at tho regulation of the
liquor traffic Imvo been passed and
progress made in tho direction of lim
iting the sale of habit-forming drugs.
An effective abatement law is in
force; also u law pioventing white
slavery ami one limiting the sale of

A long-needed industrial school for

of ptison veronn.
These and manv nlliei splendid
measures are the products of the past
four years.
Cost of Government
Our slate government for the years
10T.M-1 has cost in round numbers
Sr.BOO.OOO. Of this amount $i),'J87,
000 was met by direct taxation, and
tho balance by fees and unused ap
propriations. The average annual
amount raised by diiect luxation dur
ing tho said period wns .f'J.O i:t,."U)0.
The total population of the penal
and eleemosynarv institutions on Sep
tember HO, 101 1, was HOT'-', being an
increase of rtliont -100, or nesrlv l"t
per cent ttiiritig the biennium. The
greatest increase of oopnliitton ai-
(pears to hix . In n r n ("p1' in
..
; . ii ie 'turn tor
I, it ' l . eonibined
population of lli - to institutioiiM
shows an increne of 17 per cent. This
growth of population is nhn'ming nnd
drives home t us the neeesi(v tP
giving earnet thought and study to
the causes which nroduee this great
army of dependents.
Oar uuuual exoenditure for main
lenance runs about O'Jo.OOO and for
ordinary improvements $220,000:
taken together it means that when a
charge is committed to our state in
stitutions the taxpayers must contri
bute $1000 to provide shelter nnd,
annually thereafter. ."" for improve
ments and repairs and $2115 for main
tenance.
The.se growing expenditures piescnl
questions of deep concern to the tax
payers of the state and to society in
general. Problems bearing upon the
enre of these unfortunates nre being
met by the officials of our institu
tions, but those having- to do wi h
the removal of the causes which pro
duce tllfP dependents nrn Itre'v
for your solution.
A cry for relief went up from the
overburdened taxpayer and you an
swered thnt you would como to his
aid. The time for action is at hand.
Appropriations must bo held to the
lowest level consistent with good bus
iness, every useless board nnd com
mission should be abolished and,
where possible, others consolidated.

A Talk to Parents Upon
Youth at Adolescence
At tho Parent-Teachers monthly
meeting Dr. I-J. It. Plckel of tho Stato
Hoard of Health, delivered tho fol
lowing lecture:
Adolescence Is tho birth of the
higher human traits. Certnlu ipiall
ties of tho body and soul now emerge
and hark back to a remote past, old
moorings are broken loose and de
velopment of acquisitions gradual,
slow and more salutary takes place.
Individual differences In physical ill-
menslons and physical touts become
more marked. Youth Is now arming
for tho battle of life In the fullest
ensc, bono nnd muscle with speed
and power for tho man while prepar
ing woman for maternity. All func
tions are reconstructed, tho voice
changes, sex aserts Itself and may
work havoc In the way of secret
vices, disease, and enfeebled heredity,
sending thousands of youths to
quacks every year because of tho lg-
nornnco of parents nnd teachers lit
knowing how to deal with Its prob
lems. Tho boy and girl at this ago cravo
knowledge, tho world seems strange ; place them on their own response
and mystery looms on every hand audibility to the greatest extent possible
tcmptntlons beset the plastic mind at
every turn In Ilfes highway. Social
Instincts unfold, sentiment and roll-
glou hold sway In fluctuating moods jcompaulons even In their llltlo "pup
like sudden changes of lctora and .py loo" affairs. Do not deer) them
vanquished. ( but take them Into jour confidence
Is Migratory Ago
This Is tho migratory age, tho per
iod when tho wander lust In tho boy
Is npt to lo strong, tho truant In
stinct most marked, tho homo seems
narrow and lonely, the confines
the school room Irksome nnd Intoler
able. Rooks nro uninteresting, les
sons nre tedious and
monotonous,
Impatience nnd resentment 'against
..!, .,
authority and restraint, tho earning
to test their powers In the freedom
of tho outside world Is greatly In
tensified. Thoy long for adventure,
to start In llfo nnd bo Independent.
Aoleseenco Is thn ngo when tho
girl craves moro freedom In her so-
clal life. As spoken above thn mya-l
tery of n new world is thrust upon
her nnd a careful Inventory Is kept of
every stage of her development. Her
points of beauty, accomplishments,
likes nnd dislikes arc items of much
interest. Home life Is restless and
solitary; sho yearns for tho faclna
Hon of tho dance: Imagination runs
riot In fairies, Incantations, omens,
symbols, mths and fancies; Jealousy
becomes moro accentuated; friend
ships are moro Intimately created
with tho passing of secrets nnd con
fidences. Jewelry, especially rings
and bracelets aro much coveted.
Prvtniiratloii Prevalent
At this ago of all tho bad habits of
both sexes lying Is the most prevalent
nnd tho most difficult to overcomo
for tho reason that all wrong nets pro
dlsposo to tho Ilo of concealment
while tho worst Is that of solflshness.
Youths consider that lies often time
caso them over tho rough places,
thoy look upon them as a source of
convenience rather than very wrong
hence Ilea aro apt to rauklu but little
and nre soon forgotten.

in this natural mannor It builds up
