In the consolidation the New York Central gets the Lackawanna; the Pennsylvania retains control of the Wabash and the Detroit, Toledo and I ronton; the Baltimore and Ohio gets the Reading and the Central of Nrw Jersey, and the Van Sweringcn system will add the Lehigh Valley and possibly the Pittsburgh and West Virginia rnd the Western Maryland.

I Kconoiiiy NmiImI I Mr. Meier, aftor enumeratlnK ' tho various debts of tho state and ! saying Orotron's bonded indebted- nesH "is the Hecuml KroatOMt per! capita in tho United States, South Uakota oceupyint; firnt place," , continued with tlio doclaraflon: Those are stupendous figures and omphiislzi! tho need of rigid lotretuhment in the future on the part of the state nnd its sub divisions to the end that our out standing indebtedness may be re duced to the lowest possible mini mum consistent with progress and advancem ent. The debt of Oregon and its po litical sub - divisions, he said, amounts to fuSO.lMH.llfl. of which $ 21 K.l f3.34f represents outstand ing bonds, and 912.U44.770, war rants and other obligations. In the first few words of his ad drosH iovernor Meier spoke of taxes and of the duty of the legis lature to raise revenue. He men tioned two sections of the state constitution and said: Go von uncut Cost High "One of tho greatest problems Is the increasing cost of govern ment," Meier declared. "Adminis trative ageneies havo multiplied to a bewildering degree. "Several separate commissions now exercise jurisdiction over mat ters affecting agriculture, several hoards administer our labor laws, several agencies our health laws, nnd several depart men to control our finances, with little or no ef fective coordination between them. "Legislation Bhould bo enacted consolidating these multiplied agencies Into single departments, which would result not only in greater efficiency but in economy of administration." "In the present state of bewil dering confusion tho governor cannot exorcise the effective su pervision and control which the people have a right to demand." Governor Meier recommended enactment of legislation extending tho homo rulo principle, "with adequate safeguards, to municipal ities so that they may enjoy, if they so elect, the right to contract by franchise, or otherwise, with any public utilities as to rates, ser viee and facilities within their boundaries." lie recommended repeal of the "so-called certificate of conveni ence and necessity act under which all competition Is barred in the utility field." Meier recommended adoption of the child labor amendment to the federal constitution. Favors Budget lie mentioned the state budget commissioner In saying "I am strongly In favor of a budget sys tem as It means intelligent state wide planning. The head of this department should have the power to estnblish a uniform system of book-keeping as well as to Inquire into tho necessary expenses ot every agency of the state.'' Merit will govern Mr. Meier's appointments, he declared. - "I reiterate here," he told the legis lature, "with omphnsis my pre election pledge to the people: that merit nnd merit only the fltneKS of tho individual for the post will be considered In making such appointments as come within the scope of my office." Mr. Meier closed his address with a tribute, to tho late Senator fteorge W. Joseph, his life-long friend and associate. "I construe my election to this high office," he said, "by such an avalanche of votes absolute vindication of the cause for which Senator Joseph so valiantly fought and sacrificed his life, and as an absolute man date from the people of the state of Oregon to this legislative assem bly to write these principles and policies into tho fundamental law of tho state."
