OREGON RATIFIES SUFFRAGE (Continued from Pago Ono) these induslrii'H, i'liiictionine; through the Dtnle industrial accident commis. fiion, should aid in restoring these cripples to sufficient carnitisr capac ity to enable them to ho sell' support" inir citizens and not dependents upon t-oeiely. To do this it will bo neeessnrv to 'reeducate many ol! them, or train them in new lines of endeavor, and while they are training this new edu cation or new trnmine;, it is neces sary for someone to support them mid their families. 1 am already informed -that the commission is obtaining irooil re sults in the physical rehabilitation of injured workmen, ami that the com mission contemplates immediate ex pansion of its efforts alone; this line. , The commission should be uiven ninple authority and the right to use a sufficient portion of its funds to carry on this work. I fully endorse the recommenda tions of Ihe special committee, and believe there will be no hesitation on tho part of any member of tho Iciris Inturo in thus meeting a situation which affects so manv thousand in jured workmen and Iheir .families. .'Approximately LTi.tlOO industrial accidents, affected by the work men's eoaipeasation law, occur in Orcein ouch year.

Two or three days' attendance in the house and senate, and two or three nights at the Marion hotel, would provide, tar more amusement and instutiction than a moid It's vacation in Southern California, or six weeks on the heaeh at Wni-ki-ki. More, important than the amusement is the instruc tion, -tho all-around enlightenment. Most. people have tin idea Salem- is a rather dull depressing place these days of no-boozo and no-bqodle. Let them try it. If there is no booze, and no boodle at this special ses sion we venture lo say it will be the first, time on record. Xo matter how dry the state may be, no matter how right eous and incorruptible the legislators, the man who wants a drink can always get it. and the man who wants his palm tickled can always be satisfied. . Habitues tit the state capital considered the last ses sion a very mild and prosaic performance. Yet there was so much Red Eye in one room of the principal hotel, that the authorities were forced, before it was till consumed, to raid it, while one member of the house! who publicly ad mitted he had been offered several hundred dollars for his vote, failed to cause a ripple of excitement, such charges were so to be expected. Thai sort of thing is all in the day's work. . But the in structive feature is not in the line of booze and boodle, for as it matter of fact, neither of these time honored stage properties, exert the influence, their old reputation would justify. The instruction conies more from the fact that the Oregon legislature is inheriently, temperamen tally, organically and inevitably in. sympathy with what has come to be known as big business. By this we don't mean anything irregular or reprehen sible. We merely mean a vast majority of the leaders whom the others follow are honestly devoted to the rights of business, and will inevitably 'ore in favor of a prop erty interest whenever that interest conflicts with the popular or people's interest. This 111113' 1J,J a perfectly desirable condition but, few people know it. Most, of the rank and file have an idea that the dear "pce-pul" politicians out rank in power the property politicians. ' They don't. At least they don't in Salem. That is why the "Rogue Jiiver Fish bill has about as much chance at this .session as the proverbial snow ball. The people to be hurt by it will be there, very articulate, the people to be profited by it, won't. be there, and of course are not ar ticulate at all. The leaders, the men of the most pres tige, skill and power will be unanimously against it. nelly definite, figures at this time. The number of applications for this aid fltiettiale. Some who have ap plied for lmvo dropped out, or prolmhly will drop out. But on the other hand new applications are con stantly heinir received. So far near ly ll,(MI0 npplienl ions have been filed. Hv as careful a survey as possible under the cireurnslnnccs, the secre tary of stale's oft'ico now estimates that; $-ir)0,()()() will probably meet the. bills accruiuu' under the provisions of this net for the current year. I make no suiiesUon as to the necessity for providing funds up to tlu: time the next legislature meets, which will be after the first of next year, because ou January 1, l!L'l, a new sum of money will be available from the two tenths of a mill levy which will tide over the situation until the regular session convenes in that year. T wish to call your attention to the fnet that the e"meriicnev hoard, he iiiLT appraised of the situation that would arise, atreadv has allowed the iucurrimr of a liability in tho sum ot' $;t(IO,()(lll. As you are aware certifi cates of indebtedness, allowed hv the emergency hoard, bear interest- at the rate of 0 iter cent until paid. If an appropriation is made at this special session to cover the nmounf that it will he neeessnrv to expend in admin isteriuir (his act durimr the vear of !!)(). several thousands of dollars in interest, will he saved, in fact a sav ing which will in a ureal measure, at least, cover the cost of this special li-uishilive session. I also respectfully call your atten tion to the fact that, the emeriicnev hoard has permitted the issuance of certificates of indebtedness in Ihe sum of $10,000, that law, enforcement work may he further carried on by the executive office. Also an anlhor- i.ation of $10,000 was made for the ui'iim department ot the public ser vice commission. Jf flat nppropria imns were made in these amounts in terest pavmcnts likewise could he avoided on certificates of indebted ness in such sums.

However, it can be supplemented bv legislation to ad vantage. ... In order to pnv the interest on dis trict bonds, the state is authorized to issue stale bonds and it seems to have been Ihe intent of Iho constitu tional amendment that irrigation anil drainage districts should advance to the state each vear sufficient i-'unds lo ineef the interest on tho state bonds, in order Hint the stale ituiv land in a position of eunriiutor of micros! on Ihe district bonds without expense lo il. However, no definite provision oovorinir this feature was included in the nmondiuout. The constitutional amendment also reipnrcs the district to deposit Willi Ihe stale treasurer eerificnles of in- Ichcdncss. which bear interest at i per cent per annum, both principal and interest pavable after Ihe irriga tion or drainage district bonds have been paid off. A statute should therefore ho en acted iinllmnzinir Iho irriirntion and lirainaire districts to. enter into an airreeinent with Ihe state to advance to Ihe stale semi-auuiiallv the inter est on slale bonds, the proceeds of which arc used lo pav interest on dis trict bonds, and should also provide that the lands so advanced lnav be credited on the interest aeeruinir on Ihe district's ceililicale of indebted ness tiled with the state treasurer.

The onlv result ol a failure to adopt such an amendment would be to leave th present amendment in effect.

'The attornev ireneral lias ealled attention to the fact that i'ollowinsr Iho abolition of capital punishment bv the enactment of a eonstitufional amendment to that effect, the lctris bitiiro repealed a number of statutes which provided for the currvinsr out of -the death penalty for commission of certain crimes. As a result, ho points out, to mere ly deal with the constitutional phases of the nnestion would not airain place, capita! punishment in actual opera tion. To meet the situation he has siisrsrestcd lhat the legislature, at this session, ro-enact those .old statutes, or roplncc them with others.

To hold such an election upon any other day would entail nit expense of approxi mately $.100,0(10. or possibly more. Held upon primary day the election machinery used for the primary elec tions could be set under way for the special election and the expense to the state would lie jiomimi! at the most. Criminal IjeKislutloii AVhilc touching upon the question of capital unishmotit I feel it. incumb ent upon me to further irieution some phases of criminal legislation which 1 deem of such urgency as to warrant vour serious though I. These recom mendations also deal with the safety of the lives of our citizens and conso (iiientlv are of paramount importance. By watching tho operation "of the parole law of .Hilt) Willi a ' careful lirst hand survey I am satisfied Hint, ils provisions aro such, in manv par ticulars, as to have a tendency to ward placing the Jives and person of. our citizens in jeopardy. 1 wish to respectfully recommend Hint vour body so amend Ihe parole law that ils operation will he sus ponded and that it cease to function entirely as to all persons convicted of the graver crimes against the tier son. In my opinion Ihe law should be so amended that flat sentences be imposed in eases where conviction has been bad on charges of homicide in any . degree: rape, where violence is un clement of the ,eritne; robbcrv of p ii v kind: burglary, when armed with a dangerous weapon, and assault willi intent to kill while being armed wilh a dangerous weapon. There can bo no palliali if such offenses, and I would have the word co forth that Oregon will in Ihe future meet such offenses Willi a flat penalty that wiil bo carried out to the end. The onlv mitigation I would suggest would be lo allow Ihe deduction from the to tal sentence of a reasonable number of days for good conduct, but this deduction should be nominal and not such a deduction ns to make unv de cidedly appreciable reduction in the entonce. For all classes of crime other than those enumerated. I would still leave Ihe functioning of the parole law. but with such amendment as I am aboul to suggest. For those of you who may not rc meiuber distinctly tho provisions o' that law I will say, In brief, that.for all offenses, except murder cr trea son, parole privileges are allowable upon the expiration of one-fourth of tho -maximum sentence, minus de duction of curtain days as credit for go(,l conduct. While 1 would make the law ap plicable tor all eases excopt in the cases ot men convicted for tho grave crimes against the person, which I have pointed out to you, 1 would in crease the minimum sentence altow- ed to tmc-hulf t He maximum to super sede the one-fourth of the maximum now allowed, t stilt would leave in effect the credits allowed for good conduct. Grunting of such credits is excellent in theory and has worked well in practice. Tho minimum sentence of one- fourth, of the maximum, as allowed ly tho law as it now stands gives an inadequate decree of punishment. As a concrete example, a man sentenced to one year in tho penitentiary is entitled to parole at the expiration uf two and one-half months, when he is given the benefit of his good time credits. This throws the parole hoard into nn impossible position Unless recognition is given for exem plary conduct tho advantages f t Hie good time credits are nullified. To give such recognition reduces the sentence to a travesty. The solution is in a much longer minimum, lty imposing the longer minimum the courts may take Into accc-MUt the r which the crime calls for, and the good timq credits feature gives the prisoner something practical to wcrk for. In further explaining my reasons for these proposed changes I wish to say primarily that as far as paroled men themselves are concerned, the parole system has heen in' the -main a succeed. A great majority of pa roled i.ien have "made good," to speak in their own parlance. Cases of genuine reformation are frequent and many ef them have been excel lent citizens of your state for years. In punishing criminals society has two functions to perform. One Is for'the rvrc'tootion? of society Itself; tho other the reformation of the criminal. Sicicty owes its first duty to itself. For that reason a criminal who commits a grave crime against tho person should be sentenced fCT a definite term and should he compel led to servo that term, unless his in nocence is later established. Because some of that class of prisoners "make good" upon parole is not a complete solution of their problem. The fact that many of snoh prisoners, by op eration of tho parole law itself, are allcwcd to enjoy parolo privjloges. sometimes aftor comparatively brief periods of incarceration, has a decid edly bad effect on the potential crim inal, liy a stern and unyielding ap plication of tho law in the cases men tioned, the potential criminal will realize what is awaiting him If ho ovei-steps the hounds of tho law. Rigid enforcement of tho penalties imposed I believe will result often in staying the hand that otherwise might be raised to rob, to attack ot to kill. . On the other hand, reasonable pa role privileges, with a minimum suf ficient to insure ample punishment for tho lessor crimes, will tend to satisfy the demand for reformation which all of us aro anxious to see worked out in tho breasts of the youthful and the less violent offen ders against our lawn. During my administration a decid edly serious effort has heen made to uso the power of oxocutivo clemency conservatively. In all cases where conditional pardons have heen ap plied for no consideration lias been given such applications without first receiving affirmative, recommenda tions from tho presiding judge and district attorney who acted, on the case. Thi3 rule may have been ttevi ated from In one or two- instance: where tho prisoner was in a serious physical condition which demanded prompt outside attention, - but- in those cases proper precautions were exercised. The parolo board has used as con scrvative a policy as tho very broad and liberal law of 1919 has allowed That law, with its good time credits and tho very low minimum cstab lished, has practically forced the parolo board on occasions to make recommendations even against its judgment. This situation should bo changed and because of its serious phases I earnestly urge your, serious consideration of these recommenda tions that 'greater protection, and safeguards may bo thrown about tho lives, persous and property of tho citizens of our stato. ltatil'ication of .Suffrage Amendment H willJje my pleasure to have for warded to your honorahlo body for ratification the resolution of the con gress of the United States of America providing for an amendment to our tedoral j constitution which will ex tend to the women of our nation tho right ot suffrage. This is a matter which I recommend to your early attention -and I out certain you will not doom it presumptuous it. I ex press the hope that . you give your unanimous approval to tho ratifica tion of this amendment. l'ish and (iamo Legislation Because of tho relative value of Oregon's fish and gamo life in-all that tho stato is endeavoring to ac complish in tho attracting of,. tour ists; in the move to make life better for our own citizens, and In light of the fact that it involves one of our greatest and most productive indus tries. I fool that It devolves upon me to present at this special session of kho legislature some pertinent recom mendations in regard to the fish and game situation. It is too well known a fact to need corroborative evidence from me that dissension and factionalism over tho administration of this 'important branch ot state government has re sulted in robbing it of its highest de gree of efficiently and materially im pairing development and conserva tion work. 1 assumo that all who have exprasscd conflicting' opinions ns to tho situation hnve done so with honesty of purpose and tho best of intent. liegardless of this, dissen sion has iieen evideut, tho peopfo of iho stato have developed distrust, antl a condition has grown up which demands a epeody and etfectivo change. In prefacing my proposals 8s to what I deem tho most expedient and essential changes I wsh to say frank ly that my familiarity with tho situa t Ion and with the tempcf ot tho peo ple In all parts of tho state convinces me beyond the shadow of a doubt that unless some material and bene ficial changes are made the life or one of our greatest industries the salmon industry may bo placetl in ieonardv. In addition the conserva tion of our wild game b!s and fish may also suffer and their propaga tion may decline. JOHN A. PERL Undertaker. Phone M. 4? and 47-JS Antomobllo lleare Serrlce .Lady Assistant 82 SOVTU HA HT LETT Ajab!gns9 scnKft Cereis! 1020 I have no intention f.T desire tovicw the greater wclfaro of all the . enter into the merits of the various; controversies which have shaken the fish and game administration. Re gardless of what the merits o these controversies may bo, the fact re mains that bickerings and wrang lings have developed a hopeless sit uation which must be met by a new deal if we are to attain what wo all desire highest. efficiency and the best results. Doubt and distrust have existed. . We must recognize this fact and that as long as such continue we will have a condition not conducive to the best welfare of the interests involved, or of the state as a whole. To meet the situation openly and frankly, to forget old trials and trib ulations may be difficult to do, hut I deem it our duty in the premises to doso. For that reason I have for mulated certain suggestions which I trust you will weigh carefully and consider advisedly. If my suggestions may -be Improved upon, if a better plan can be devised to bring about the same results, I will welcome that solution with flio same sort of an open mind, which I am asking all interested to have when they ap proach this situation for final deter mination. Briefly I propose the following rec ommendations for your considera tion: Creation of a new commission of three members to have complete con trol and jurisdiction over tho : en forcement of alt laws, over the expen diture of all money and over such other matters as may pertain to the state's administration cf the com mercial fishing interests of tho state. Creation of a new commission of five members to have complete con trol and jurisdiction over the en fcrcement of. all laws,, over the ex p'endlture of all money and such oth er matters as may pertain to the state's administration of the wild game and fish life of the' state. For your information I will advise that a week ago I called together in Salem members of tho fisheries and game committees of both tho house and senate to discuss various phases of tho fish and game controversy and if possible to formulate a bill for presentation to this session. As a result of that meeting such a bill. I understand, will bo presented "to you providing, in a general way, for one commission with two separ ate divisions within tho commission, to have control over the commercial and sportsmen's interests, respective ly. With an additional member in dependent of tho two divisions acting in the capacity of an arbitrator. 1 still feel, however, that a com plete separation of tho two interests would lead to more harmonious re lations. . But th?ro must be give and take in arriving at a conclusion " . where many minds aro thinking along many line;, and tho host compromise the legislature may effect which to my mind will bring about harmony and good results will be acceptable to the executive office. Whatever may. he your disposition of the matter, I wish to assert posi tively that the chief executive of the state should not ho a member of cither or of any fish and game com mission. It is not properly in line with tile sphere of nls duties, it is not for the best welfare of the inter est;, to be represented, nor is it pro ductive ot tho best results. To sep arate the executive office from a membership on tho commission is the right and proper thing to do and I assure you would be a move meeting with my hearty approval as a move dictated by discerning wisdom. The fish and gamo situation is one close to tho hearts of many thousands of our people, It is one of too far reaching importance to allow polty considerations to override and over rule tho big results that may bo at tained. I am confident that, as rep resentatives of tho people of the state of Oregon, you will enter into a dis cussion of this question calmly and dispassionately, with your minds re moved from lccal and personal preju dices and witn trio single goal in INS BE TAKEN RIGHT I layer Commny, who introduced Aspirin in lWK), ive proper directions.

Conclusion In the foregoing message I have endeavored to joint out as clearly and ns succinctly as possible those matters of material and essential im portance which I have deemed most worthy to present to you for consid eration.

In doing so I acted only after grave consideration) realizing full well the necessity of contining your deliberations to ns brief a tlmo as possible to secure tho best results. Thoso additional matters camo to my attention since issuing my original proclamaion' and presented phases which I believed should have your early and earnest attention. , Wilh no thought of intruding on your legislative authority, I feel that this session should not be opened to miscellaneous legislation and should he confined to consideration only , of the subjects I have outlined, or mat ters of similar urgency and impor tance. I am certain everyone of us feels that the expense of this session should he curtailed to the minimum and that none of us desires to extend its time a solitary day past -. that which is absolutely necessary to tho transaction of important business. In making my recommendations, I am giving you the product of my best judgment and they are submitted to you for what they are worth. What disposition may lie made of them .is,, for legislative ac::on only and I do sire to make it clear that during your consideration of legislation nc- in fluences, direct or otherwise, -will come from the executive offices to endeavor to swerve legislative opin ion in ono direction or another. , All of us are profoundly mindful ot tho responsibilities entailed in the tasks sot before us.
