To this must be added the maintenance expenses from funds derived fronrfees, licenses, the funds derived from federal aid to different institutions and de partments, totaling $l,07ti,:i9.l.96, making the total cost of state government lor the ensuing bienmum $7,387,010.(:J. The total appropriations bv the 1915 session were $G,310,618.G7, as against $6,691,092.08 for the 1913 session, an apparent reduction of .1381, 043.1 1 not a million dol lars, as claimed by advocates of "efficiency and economy." Yuen the investments in improvements made bv tho 1913 session are considered, in comparison with similar expen ditures by tho 1915 session, it is evident that instead of effecting a saving, the cost cf government has been greatly increased. The appropriations of 1913 included $450,000 for recla mation work in Central Oregon, $200,000 for a supreme court building, $91,000 for the eastern Oregon asvlum. $262,000 for new O. A. C. buildings, $187,000 for new state" university buildings, $60,000 for a new state fair pavilion, $20,000 for new buildings at the soldiers' home, $60,000 for a new penitentiary building, $50,000 for the girls' indus trial school building, $b0,000 lor a new building at the state insane asylum. The total for reclamation and buildings was $1,460,000. The appropriations of the recent session included nothing for reclamation, the sole constructive legislation being $50,000 for experimental work for the establishment ol the flax industry m the Willamette vallev. The amount spoilt for new buildings totals but $200,000, comprising $50,000 for a normal school building, $50,000 for a medical college building and $.100,000 tor the Pendleton asylum building. It is evident, then, that the past session was the most extravagant in the history of the state, and that it spent more money for administrative functions than anv prev- 1111 i i iii tuns session, aim ma icss in a constructive or uuiuuiig way than any other session. It provided no funds for recla mation, none for good roads, none for power development. Its petty economies were made at the sacrifice of state in stitutions like the insane asylum, which, instead of being provided means for natural growth, were crippled by pen unousness. The session of 1915 was dominated by the big business interests and bv politics. It put in its time destroying constructive policies inaugurated by previous assemblies and curtailing administrative efficiency of established departments. Its crowning achievement was the passing of tiie spoils bill, making the entire state administration the spoils of politics. Only the steadfast opposition of the bouse prevented the complete destruction of the welfare legislation of previous sessions. Its efficiency a ."Joke, its economy false, its construc- tiveness nil, its intents sinister, its politics vicious, the last legilature passes into history as the worst m manv veal's.

Captain Thlerlchscn of tho German auxiliary cruiser Print Eltol Fried rich has estimated In his communl atlon to tho Washington government, that it will requlro about threo weeks to repair his ship. Tho estlmato was mado after shipyard officials hero had mado a preliminary exami nation. In his letter to Collector Hamilton, the German commander declared: "My ship at tho present timo Is in very unscaworthy condition and will requlro thrco weeks to make her sea worthy.' Naval constructors will bo as signed to look over tho Eltel Fried rich and inako their estlmato of tho length tho timo ship should ho un der repairs. Tho statement on the sinking of the Frye, which tho commander of tho Prlnz Eltel has mado to Collec tor Hamilton is understood to- be a oner document, giving Ilttlo moro than a statement that tho Fryo was sunk, tho longitude and latitude In which tho German raider canto upon her and a reference to the taking oft of tho Fryo's crew.
